Mythbusters: President’s Challenge
Being a huge fan of the Mythbusters, this week’s newest epsiode had to do with the president asking Adam and Jamie to recreate the Ancient Death Ray that they had busted in an eariler season. When I first heard that the …
Once Upon a Time (ABC tv series)
I’ve always had a love for Fairy tales and Disney movies and so I was intrigued when a family member introduced “Once Upon a Time” to me. I didn’t have a lot of hope for it though since it looked a little low budget and I didn’t see how …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Never Kill a Boy on the First Date
While not much in terms of action, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Never Kill a Boy on the First Date turned out to be a good one.
I know the message it was trying to send. Buffy can’t live the life of a normal teenager because of her secret …
Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XIII
As far as the Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors episodes go, most of the later ones are kind of dumb and don’t really have a whole lot to do with Halloween. One of the few exceptions to this is Treehouse of Horrors XIII.
The first skit on the show, where Homer …
Reganno Beef Stroganoff Dinner
We had a few errands to run last night and didn’t have a lot of time to make a complicated dinner. So, my wife ended up cooking a Beef Stroganoff boxed dinner from the brand Reganno.
I’m not sure where we bought this dinner (I think it was Aldi) but …
The Twilight Zone: A Passage for Trumpet TV Show
I’m not really crazy about The Twilight Zone: A Passage for Trumpet, although I do like the punch that it gets at the end. This half-hour episode revolves around a depressed trumpet player, Joey Crown, who is portrayed by Jack Klugman. It’s a solid performance. I …
Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon
„Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon” is another of the Scifi Channel original movies. It stars Shannen Doherty, Michael Shanks, JR Bourne, Toby Berner and Duncan Fraser as a group of researchers sent by the Smithsonian on a dig near the Grand Canyon. They stumble across an ancient Aztecs …
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Overall, I am not a Reality TV fan, but there is one program that I like. It is Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I enjoy watching the makeover team build a whole new house in just a week, it is simply amazing. But what I like the most about this …
Friends Episode: Rachel Moving Out
Friends Episode: Rachel Moving Out is one of the better episodes that you can see Monica’s really ‘controlling’ and ‘possessive’ manner of persona. The episode is when Rachel is going to move out and not being her room-mate anymore. And knowing Rachel, she is very laid-back about it …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 1
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig episode 1 is the beginning of the second season of the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime. Section 9 is still disbanded but they’ve gathered at the site of a terrorist hostage takeover and await Aramaki’s orders …

The Simpsons Season 8 Episode 12
MrBurns wants to see how good his workers are in case of a fire drill emergency and so decides to have a fire drill. However it takes more than 15 minutes for Homer to come out. It is really funny since the place should be evacuated in seconds, but …
Jetsons TV Episode: Jane’s Driving Lesson
My daughter had on cartoons this past Saturday and was watching several re-runs of the show The Jetsons. I really wasn’t paying too much attention to what she was watching until one episode came on TV; Jane’s Driving Lesson.
OK, I know the episode is pretty sexist and relies on …
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 1
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 1 is a two part episode that continues the mysterious alien story arc that was first started in the episode, “Chain of Command”. In this episode, a strange floating island is discovered and on it, beauty as well as danger. Amidst the green …

The Vampire Diaries TV Series Season 1
I have read the book series of The Vampire Diaries by LJ Smith, and was expecting the TV series to be based on it. The story is about a love triangle among a girl called Elena and vampire brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore as they try to save their …
Forensic Files
Forensic science is not that new, at least to Sherlock Holmes fans, but it is is real life. Forensic Files is seen on Court TV, which is going to be known as Tru TV starting in January 2008. They set out to solve murders that seem to be unsolvable …
The Three Bears cartoon
I really enjoyed this classic version of The Three Bears cartoon. It’s a golden oldie from decades back which has survived to continue to make children and adults smile and let go with some wonderful chuckles.
For me, there are variations in this tale that I don’t recall, so …
The Haunted (Animal Planet)
“The Haunted” is a paranormal show that oddly enough, is shown on the Animal Planet. I found this weird until I realized that the show’s premise is that animals can see and hear things (otherworldly things) that human beings cannot. And after watching a few episodes, …
CSI Season 4 Episode 3- Homebodies
CSI Season 4 Episode 3- Homebodies
That was a very average episode, I did not think much about it. Some of it was just plain boring. So it was good, since the show is great, but compared to other episodes on the show, this one was a bit disappointing.
Grissom and …
Enlightened TV Show
Enlightened is a wonderful new show that I have discovered lately. It is like nothing I have ever seen before on TV. The show tells the story of a woman who is trying to come back to work in a corporate environment after a nervous breakdown. After coming back …
1000 Ways to Die
Not a lot of things make me paranoid, but the television show “1000 Ways to Die” might be number one on the top of that small list. Not a lot of people seem to know about that show either, as unlike some shows this one is not promoted as …
The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Episode 9: “Katerina”
After The Vampire Diaries episode 8 entitled “Rose” I was more than thrilled to see episode nine entitled “Katerina”. If the name doesn’t give it away to what this episode might be about, then I’ll just tell you—¦Katherine Peirce (also known by her previous and original name before becoming …
The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences TV Show
For me, The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences is simply a grating and annoying experience, much like the main character the story surrounds. John McGiver does a nice job as Roswell G. Flemington, a man who loves noise and doesn’t care that he’s perceived as being obnoxious by …
Gilligan’s Island - Take a Dare TV Show
Here we have George Barkley rolled by Strother Martin introduced to the island. He actually plays a strong willed but passionate character. But he has downfalls of his own. Ginger actually picked up on one and another is greed. If Barkley would have worked with the Castaways instead of …
The X-Files Die Hand Die Verletzt Episode
I can’t say that I loved this episode of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files”. It was not because I found anything wrong with the television show either since I thought the plot was okay, it was written just as good as the other ones and the …
Boston Legal Season 1 Episode 1
This was the pilot episode. Boston Legal is a spin off from David E. Kelly’s defunct legal drama “The Practice”. The sitcom revolves in the internal happenings of the notable Boston firm Crane, Poole and Schimdt.
In this episode, two interesting cases were tackled. First, the mother of a …
Bones TV Episode: Judas on a Pole
Well, last night was the first time I had a chance to see the Bones episode Judas on a Pole. And, it was pretty good. However, I have to confess, it might have been better if I had seen it when it first aired.
The episode focuses on Bones’ dad …
The Equalizer: Bump and Run TV show
I’m not a particular fan of The Equalizer. I tried watching it a few times when it was on originally, but it didn’t capture my fancy and neither did its star, Edward Woodward. He does have the look, very polished and whatnot, but he didn’t get my …
Sea Hunt: Crime at Sea TV Show
In Crime at Sea, the 37th episode of Sea Hunt’s fourth season, Tom Nicholson’s ship is damaged at sea, apparently by a storm. Another ship finds it but without the captain on board. They tow the ship back to port. Nicholson’s daughter wants to fight another …
The Simpsons TV Episode: Little Girl in the Big Ten
I finally got a chance to watch the entire episode of The Simpsons called “Little Girl in the Big Ten.” This one proved to be pretty darn funny.
Lisa is enrolled in gymnastics and, because she is the same size as the college girls enrolled in class, they naturally assume …
The Twilight Zone: No Time Like the Past TV Show
The Twilight Zone loves to go to the past, and sometimes to the future, but shifting through time is one element of storytelling that is prevalent throughout the entirety of the series. In 1963’s No Time Like the Past, Dana Andrews stars as a scientist named Paul Driscoll …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 11: Love and Monsters
So, how do you follow up a very well done two part story where the Doctor takes on the freaking devil? With filler apparently. Yes, this episode is essentially pointless fluff. Heck, even the Doctor and Rose sit out for a majority of this one.
Instead …
MASH: Foreign Affairs
I was waiting for Law & Order CI to come on last night and decided to watch MASH on another channel. One of the episodes I came across was called “Foreign Affairs” and had two unique storylines that were entertaining.
First, you have a Korean pilot being captured and, because …
Models of the Runway: It’s a Sticky Situation
Wow, I have to tell you, models can be really, really catty sometimes over some extremely stupid things.
This week’s elimination saw one of the models accuse another one of cheating because she saw her use sticky tape on her outfit; which is apparently against the rules because it’s considered …
Highway Patrol: Insulin TV Show
Sometimes Highway Patrol episodes really entertain, and sometimes they bore. In the case of Season 3’s Insulin, which was the 17th episode to air that year, I was entertained; for the most part, anyway.
The police drama revolves around two men who show up at another man’s home. …
Due South: The Deal
Due South: The Deal focuses a bit more on series regular David Marciano as Detective Ray Vecchio. In the episode, he comes across an old friend, who really isn’t a friend per se. The other man is a mobster, and even as a child, he was an …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Homecoming
Sometimes, when you have a television series that has a serial plot-line, you end up with a somewhat weak episode that is primarily meant to introduce new plot points for the season.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, “Homecoming” fits this description.
The whole Buffy versus Cordelia for homecoming queen thing …
Ghost Hunters: Red George & Valentown Museum
Another season 2 episode of Ghost Hunters and another disappointment for me.
Once again, the TAPS team is called in to investigate a house (which are always a waste of time) only, this time, we get to see Jason’s hometown in the process.
Most of the evidence is quickly debunked (the …
John Doe: Blood Lines TV show
John Doe: Blood Lines has our amnesiac center character still confused about his identity. Sometimes, it feels overplayed. Now I realize that being in his position, waking up naked with no clue who I was, would be insane and difficult, but for TV drama, it feels overacted.
One …
Diagnosis Murder: The Bela Lugosi Blues TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: The Bela Lugosi Blues should have been a show that aired in the month of October instead of in January, which it did in 1995, which was about midway through the medical and police drama’s second season. The title alone suggests that it’s an eerie outing, …
Stargate SG-1: Inaugeration
Stargate SG-1: Inaugeration is the annual clip show, but this time, there isn’t a single regular character in it, aside from archival footage. Instead, the entire story takes place at the White House, with the new President’s first day in office. As such, he’s being briefed, and …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Anthem Sprinters TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Anthem Sprinters begins with the finding of a first edition of a James Joyce book by an American writer named Raymond Douglas. He’s played by Len Cariou, who I know as Bruno’s dad in the TV series, Fame. Here, he no sooner …
Monica: The Single (Peachtree TV network show)
This show apparently follows singer Monica in her quest for completing a new single. I heard this was going to be a reality show series about Monica. But in fact, this is really a show Bryan Michael Cox put together to emphasize the necessities of putting together …
The Andy Griffith Show: Mayberry on Record TV Show
Mayberry loves the idea of show business. This is actually the third episode in the series’ premier season that has dealt with the entertainment industry in some way. In The Andy Griffith Show: Mayberry on Record from February 1961, a man named Maxwell arrives in town claiming …
Stargate SG-1: Forsaken
Stargate SG-1: Forsaken introduces the Hebridan race to the Tau’ri, though at first it’s believed they are the enemy.
SG-1 finds a spacecraft stranded on a planet. They agree to help the people who claim to own it get the ship up and running again. Essentially, the team …
COPS
I like the TV show COPS. It’s very entertaining and exciting. COPS is show that shows the real life events of cops going after dangerous criminals. I like the show because it is very fast paced intense. You will see lots of gun shots fights and crazy things on COPS. …
Surviving Sharks: Shark Week
Surviving Sharks is a show on the Discovery Channel in which a host does tests with sharks to determine how best to avoid being attacked or eaten by a shark when swimming or surfing. It started with tests to determine whether different types of sharks were more active feeders …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Stagecoach
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Stagecoach would have been better with a little different mix of stagecoach passengers. Basically, Brisco is taking a prisoner to Mexico on a stagecoach on which there is a killer. The viewers learn this first, thanks to a scene with Socrates …
