Jeeves and Wooster TV Series
P.G.Wodehouse’s humorous novels come alive and sparkle in this TV series. Meet Wooster (Hugh Laurie), a wealthy young gentleman with a tendency to get in trouble and only make matters worse as he tries to get out of it. And meet his impeccable butler Jeeves (Stephen Fry) who always …
Everybody Loves Raymond
I have a tendency to forget about shows like Everybody Loves Raymond. See the thing with it is that it’s a great solid, funny show but it’s old and so you don’t really get to see it as often as when it first airs but every time I …
Modern Marvels from History Channel
Modern Marvels is a great show brought to the viewing public by the History channel.
I like being able to tun this program on and then learn about some of the structures and how they were built. Everything from collapsed and fixed bridges to antenna towers to bullet trains …
CSI: las vegas
This is my favorite show of all time. I like all of the actors and actresses in it. They always make the show interesting and it always keeps my attention. I think one of the reasons I like the show is because it is so different from all of …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 1: Voyage of the Damned
This Christmas special picks up right where “Last of the Time Lords” (or Time Crash if you count that short special”) left off, with the now companionless Doctor crashing into the Titanic. Well, it’s not THE Titanic, but a tourist space cruiser that just happens to resemble the …
Heroes TV Series
This is the greatest tv series ever! I love the story, I always love sci-fi movies, this is one of the best. I love the characters, so many of them and so little time, one hour is not enough! Good guys, bad guys, between good and …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 12: Fear Her
I didn’t have high hopes for this episode. From what I’ve read, I got the impression that this was supposed to be one of the stinkers of the series. Honestly, it’s not that bad. It’s not great, to be sure, but it has a lot of …
So You Think You Can Dance Australia
I watched all the seasons of So You Think You Can Dance and enjoyed every one of them. When I learned that they have a franchise in Australia, I was excited to watch their version. I was not a happy camper with So You Think You Can Dance Australia.
I …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Saturday Night TV Show

Damages TV series: Season 1
Pretty much everything I watch, I watch from my Netflix DVD queue or on my Netflix instant queue. One day I was sitting around with nothing to do and I was waiting for my discs to come in the mail. So I did a little searching through some …
Ghost Hunters: Haunted Asylum
Well, the Ghost Hunters episode I watched last night, Haunted Asylum, was an OK episode but definitely not one of the best ones I have seen.
They are asked to visit an asylum in West Virginia and walk around the place looking for spirits that are supposedly there.
First, Jason and …
The Twilight Zone: A Penny for Your Thoughts TV Show
From season two of The Twilight Zone, A Penny for Your Thoughts is one I always love to see. It’s a wonderful story, full of surprise, and it’s well acted by performers who are fun to watch. The basic setup is that on his way to work, …

Hawthorne: No Exit TV Show
No Exit was labeled the season finale of the Jada Pinkett Smith drama show, Hawthorne. There have been just 10 episodes in this very short season, but for the most part, they’ve been decent ones. This one in particular was extremely intense and compelling. It was …
Ghost Hunters: Best of the Stanley Hotel
I was watching our season 3 disk of Ghost Hunters and came across the episode “Best of the Stanley Hotel.” Apparently, at some point in the series, the TAPS crew did a live episode at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado; this time bringing along pro wrestler CM Punk and …
Stargate SG-1: Nemesis
Season three of Stargate SG-1 ends with the first of a two-part that sadly indicates a shift in the show that ultimately began its downhill slide. Many fans consider the first three years of the show to be the vintage years. Sadly, I agree with them.
The unfortunate …

Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-17-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 17, 2010 was another disastrous TV show. There is just so little of interest in this hour.
First of all, there is a crazy bit about changing their seating sides because of Alexis’ hair. That woman is so shallow. I’ve …
Larry King Live
Even before I got television in the early 2000s I would hear references to a show called “Larry King Live”. However, since I did not have cable at the time and thus did not know what it was about I suspected that it would be sort of like a …

Supernatural show
This show stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki who play the roles of Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester respectively. They are two brothers who hunt demons. Dean is a character who is easy to fall in love with. He is humorous even when he doesn’t intend to be! Sam …
The Simpsons TV Episode: The Frying Game
I finally got a chance to watch the entire Simpsons Episode The Frying Game. And, I have to say it was funny in the beginning but pretty lame by the end.
The first part of this episode was pretty cute. Homer builds Marge a pond in the back yard to …
Futurama TV Episode: Lethal Inspection
As I mentioned before, I finally got a chance to watch some newer episodes of the show Futurama last night and, while I was impressed with the first one I watched (The Duh-Vinci Code), the one I enjoyed even more was the one entitled Lethal Inspection.
The thing I liked …
Law and Order SPecial Victims Unit (Noctourne) Episode
I thought that this episode of Law and Order Special Victims Unit was not only interesting but educational to me in the sense that it was this episode which informed me of the theory which some people have that sometimes people who are sexually abused eventually begin to sexually …
The X-Files Eve Episode
I watched the X-Files episode “Eve” at about three separate times. However I was unable to watch the episode fully until very recently. I wouldn’t call it my favorite episode of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files” but I think it was an interesting episode nonetheless because …
Stargate SG-1: 2001
In season 4 of Stargate SG-1, there was an episode called 2010 that I just didn’t like very much, reason being everyone was just so depressed with their lives. Season five gives us the precursor to that episode, though, and it’s called 2001. It’s far better and …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Ballad of Oscar Wilde
What makes Have Gun - Will Travel: The Ballad of Oscar Wilde from the second season of this western series starring Richard Boone so fun is a combination of the guest cast and the repertoire of Paladin and novelist Oscar Wilde.
Englishman Wilde is making his first visit to California …
Seinfeld: The Pick
I was watching Seinfeld last night and came across an episode I hadn’t seen before “The Pick.” Wow, this is a classic episode because there is so much going on at once.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature TV Show
There’s danger board the teaser ends on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature, the 15th episode of its third year on the air. It’s another leafy deep sea monster, and this one makes a yucky, screeching sound, too. It’s not long before it essentially …
Stargate SG1: The Other Side
“The Other Side” is definitely one of the Stargate SG1 episodes that really makes you think. It is also one that shows the big difference between Daniel’s priorities and those of the rest of the team.
When Alar, the leader of Uronda, gets in touch with the SGC and …

One Life to Live - June 9, 2010 TV Show

John Doe: The Mourner TV show
While not technically listed as a two-parter, that is in essence what John Doe: The Mourner is. In this first hour of a continuing drama, a serial killer dubbed The Mourner is on the loose. One of the kickers is that he’s using the symbol that is …

I have started to get really addicted to the show american idol. It is really a fun show to watch. Diferent contestants compete against each other to create an american idol that becomes a pop star and gets a record contract. A lot of the people who compete …

The Defenders: Nevada v. Cerbone TV Show
The Defenders: Nevada v. Cerbone had some real annoying moments for me. Mainly, it revolved around James Belushi and his character of lawyer, Nick Morelli. In this hour long episode, Morelli is on a diet, so he is frustrating and annoying everyone in his law firm.
Aside from …
