Highway Patrol: Statute of Limitations TV Show
From February 1957, Highway Patrol: Statute of Limitations, starring Broderick Crawford as California Highway Patrol Chief Dan Mathews, is just a so so episode that did very little to capture my interest for more than a few seconds at a time.
The story begins by talking about speeding, which is …
Freaks and Geeks TV show
Since there’s a shortage of TV shows right now, being that it’s summer and all, I decided to look up some DVDs of old series that I haven’t watch and giving them a try. I’m a big fan of the show How I Met Your Mother, especially Jason Segel …

The Football League Show - TV Show - BBC 1

Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 13: The Big Bang
Thus, the fifth season of Doctor Who reaches it’s end. This episode stands in a pretty stark contrast to the other finales. Where Davies kept wanting to escalate and make things more epic, this one is a bit more low key. I mean, sure, the universe …
Two And A Half Men: She’ll Still Be Dead At Halftime
“She’ll Still Be Dead At Halftime” is the episode of Two And A Half Men airing on CBS on March 2, 2009. This was not one of the show’s better episodes, as Charlie came off as sleazier than normal, and even Jake acted creepy.
Pros: This episode …
Spongebob Squarepants: Chimps Ahoy
If you ever wonder exactly why Sandy the squirrel has made her home underwater in Bikini Bottom on the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants, you get an interesting explanation of it in the episode “Chimps Ahoy” which happens to be one of my favorites on this series.

Dancing with the Stars - Elimination 3/24/09

Stargate: Infinity: Stones TV Show
Stargate: Infinity: Stones is a story that centers on Stacey, Major Gus Bonner’s niece. She’s a feisty, independent scientist. Actually, she’s probably a variation of Samantha Carter on Stargate SG-1, only with pink hair.
While on an alien world, she is given some special stones to wear as …
Seinfeld: The Soup Nazi
One of the more famous Seinfeld episodes is the one entitled “The Soup Nazi.” And, to be honest, with you, it’s definitely memorable but I’m not sure if it is my favorite episode of the series.
This one focuses on a soup kitchen that everyone on the show frequents. It …
Beast Wars - Maximal, No More
Beast Wars - Maximal, No More is one of my favorite episodes of the series, in part because it focuses heavily on Dinobot, but also because it is a well handled episode that is enjoyable to watch time and again. This episode serves as a follow-up to the events …

Stargate SG-1: It’s Good to be King
Stargate SG-1: It’s Good to be King is the show that I consider to be the last real team show of SG-1. It’s truly the last time we get to see SG-1 off-world, together, including Jack. It’s a regular-type mission that ends well and that has all …
Smallville: Abyss
“Abyss” is the ninth episode of season eight of Smallville on the CW. This episode was fantastic and really set the stage for a huge confrontation between Clark and Doomsday, who will apparently emerge from the new character Davis.
The mood of this episode was dark and dreadful, as …
Stargate SG-1: Memento
The Prometheus finally goes on her shakedown cruise in Stargate SG-1: Memento. There are actually elements of this season six episode that I like, notably John Novak as Colonel William Ronson, the commander of the Prometheus. He and Jack clash in the opening scenes, and it’s pretty …

Bones: The Salt in the Wounds
I’m not sure if last night’s episode of Bones “The Salt in the Wounds” was really all that great of an episode. I’m not sure why but I watched it and I was left wanting so much more than I thought.

The Simpsons
The Simpsons has been around forever and it’s the kind of show everybody knows about.

Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind

The last episode I saw of this, Eternal Moonshine …

Sea Hunt: Round Up TV Show
Sea Hunt concluded four years on television on September 23, 1961. The half hour adventure series aired 38 episode in this year, this last one being called Round Up. In many ways, it was an appropriate ending, and I say that for a few reasons.
First, the show …
The Cosby Show. A TV Sitcom
For those of us who grew up during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s there is no more memorable sitcom than “The Cosby Show”. To me “The Cosby Show” was a big part of my childhood and a sitcom that still reigns as my favorite sitcom of all …
