Dancing with the Stars - 10-19-09
On tonight’s show, the remaining celebrities all had to do two different dances, which is always a huge challenge for them.
Natalie and Alec opened with the Paso Doble to the tune of American Woman. It just didn’t quite work for some reason. Technically, she did okay, but …
Highway Patrol: Hostage Copter TV Show
From 1957, Highway Patrol: Hostage Copter was the 38th show of the second season of this police drama. This show was one I enjoyed quite a bit and one of the main reasons for that was guest star Barbara Eden, who played Kathy O’Shea. Early on in …
Extreme Couponing (tv series)
Extreme Couponing is one of those television series that I don’t necessarily love enough to go out of my way to see, but I might watch if a few episodes if nothing else is on. I can imagine that just watching a reality television series about people who dedicate …

The Complete ‘Yes Minister’ Boxed Set (DVD 2004)
It is really hard to believe that this series was first broadcast on British TV about 30 years ago because the topics covered are as relevant now as they were then.
A comedy series but as they say - many a true word spoken in jest - and in the …
Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana isn’t really a favorite episode of this series for me, but it still has some good moments. Dick Van Dyke is so good that he takes the mediocre and makes it worth watching. In this first season outing, Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan checks …
House: The Social Contract
I have to say, even though later episodes of House have been kind of weak lately, the one last night, “The Social Contract” was actually pretty good.
This one had a patient who had some sort of disease that caused him to say whatever he was thinking, regardless of whether …
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, …

Parental Control (MTV)
Ok, here is a show that I have huge problems with. First of all, let’s start off with the premise of the show. For one thing, I don’t really get the idea of trying out other dates in an effort to figure out whether or not …
The Simpsons: Season 16, Episode 1 - Treehouse of Horror XV
Another installment in The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror specials, the episode begins with “Keeping it Kodos”, a bit similar to a ’90s sitcom complete with an audience laugh track. It continues onto its first story “The Ned Zone”, where Ned has received a concussion as a result and …
Survivor Season 20 Episode 5
This weeks episode was a little off for me. There were a couple of things that didn’t work. For instance the challenges were a bit boring. I have made no secret of the fact I am a fan of the Villains and it seems silly that …
The Office: The Coup
Dwight from The Office is one of my favorite characters ever. Usually when a character is annoying on a television show the actually annoy me, but Dwight is different. Perhaps it’s the reactions of everyone else or the fact that the things he does are more socially inept that …
The Best of the Danny Kaye Show DVD
The Best of the Danny Kaye Show DVD is a really great opportunity to see just a hint of how wonderful Danny Kaye was as a performer. Kaye had a series that lasted for a few seasons in the mid 1960’s. I remember reading some years ago …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 3
The third episode of Emerald Point N.A.S. has some pretty good drama to it. There’s actually an argument that occurs very early on between Jack and Celia that is pretty intimidating. They are shot close up in the profile and they are really in each other’s personal …
Channel News Asia
Channel News Asia is a good TV station program. Actually this local channel in my country is called Channel News Asia, and this is one of my hot favorite TV channels of all time. I think across the continents, perhaps people might be able to access this, though …
Ellen talk show
I think Ellen is a pretty good talk show. I don’t think Ellen is that interesting but she dos have some very interesting and cool guest come onto her show. I think it was really cool when she had Leah Remini on the show. Now I love Leah so I …
NCIS: Witness
When a young woman calls police and tells them she has witnessed the murder of a navy man, they turn it over to NCIS. Seems she has no proof and there is no bodies or proof of a struggle in the apartment across the road.
Gibbs gets the call …

Sea Hunt: Synthetic Hero TV Show
This episode of Sea Hunt, the 20th show of its third year on the air, which was called Synthetic Hero, opened with diving expert Mike Nelson talking about how he stays away from sunken treasures, most of the time. I’m glad he added that disclaimer because the series …
Battlestar Galactica: The Oath
Every episode of Battlestar Galactica builds on the last. There have been a few misses of course but in general it feels more like one story than any series I can think of. Even Babylon 5 took breaks occasionally finishing one part and moving onto another, but Battlestar feels …
Street Hawk: Fire on the Wing
Fire on the Wing, episode 6 of Street Hawk, is probably my favorite of the series, and there’s a really good reason for that. One of my most enjoyed actresses appears in a main guest starring role. Kristen Meadows, who I had followed for years on One …
Harper’s Island Season 1 Episode 10
I watched with my boyfriend Harper’s Island Season 1 Episode 10 and even he went screaming when something happened to the Sheriff. Not going to say exactly what, but it was a sad episode for Abby. Very sad, indeed.
I really have come to hate the killer …
House: Sports Medicine
On the surface, the House episode “Sports Medicine” really isn’t anything different than any other House episode I’ve seen. He is called in to find the cause of some bizarre condition; this time it’s unexplained bone loss in a major league pitcher and has to go through a bunch …
Spongebob Squarepants:Bubble Buddy
I finally got to see an episode of Spongebob Squarepants I haven�t seen before; Bubble Buddy. And, I have to admit, it was pretty funny.
This episode features SpongeBob creating an imaginary friend out of his bubbles simply because he has nobody to play with. He then goes around town …
Project Runway: Race to the Finish TV Show
Project Runway: Race to the Finish had a challenge that involved L’oreal makeup, specifically eye shadow duos. The challenge was attached to a word like ‘bright’ or ‘velvet’ and it was to be a high fashion runway look.
As often happens so it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, …
Property Ladder Television Show
There are not a lot of reality television shows that can be described as entertaining, educational, and informative. However, TLC’s “Property Ladder” which airs on Saturday mornings is one of them. “Property Ladder” documents the experiences of first time home flippers attempting to buy houses for low …
Smallville Season 7 episode 11
This was a very good episode of Smallville. It involved the return of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow who I love and was pleased to see is back. Lex paying some chick to do his dirty work and get him Green Arrow, Clark and Lana’s already strained relationship.
So the Green …
Bones: The Bone that Blew
Well now, that turned out to be a good episode of Bones. “The Bone that Blew” offered us a couple of things.

Family Guy: Padre de Familia
I’m usually a fan of the show Family Guy. But, some episodes just aren’t very funny. The episode entitled Padre de Familia is a good example of it.
Ths one explores the whole illegal immigrant thing and Peter discovers he’s not a US citizen (he was born in Mexico and …
The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee the Warden TV Show
I do love The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee the Warden, an episode that aired originally back in March 1962, which was the second year that this series aired on TV. It actually opens with a bit of exposition. In real life, Andy Griffith had hurt his …
Legend: Revenge of the Herd
Like the prior episode, the ninth episode of this offbeat western begins with Ernest Pratt (Richard Dean Anderson) trying to come up with a good story for his latest dime novel that features his now alter ego, Nicodemus Legend. It’s all about elk, which he describes as cute.
The …
The Beast: Capone
The Capone episode of The Beast stands out because it featured Lou Diamond Phillips as an agent who is deep under cover. The problem is that the man has been in his role for four very long years, during which his wife divorced him. In essence, as …

Columbo: The Complete First Season DVD
Columbo: The Complete First Season on DVD is a really nice product for fans of this iconic detective series to own. It’s really well done. It begins with a nice box that the disk holder slides into. It keeps everything as pristine as possible.
The negative point …

Sanford & Son (TV sitcom)
If you were alive and kicking in the 1970s, you will certainly remember this show, featuring one of the grouchiest men of all time - Fred Sanford. I found this program really funny because it was set at a junkyard. That was a very different setting for …
The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Episode 8: “Rose”
In this seasons eighth episode of The Vampire Diaries entitled “Rose”, the character of Mystic Falls go full out on trying to find Elena and where she was kidnapped to since the last episode. Emotions fly and characters become closer as other friends are lost in this swirling episode …
The Twilight Zone: The Fever TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Fever isn’t about being physically ill in the sense of having the flu or some ailment, but rather, it’s about an addiction, and a surprising one at that. A casino welcomes its latest guests, a couple from a small town. They think …
Nanny Daddy
Nanny Daddy is a local TV drama serial that I’m watching currently and it’s reaching its finale episodes pretty soon. It stars the ever charming Adrian Pang and the character lady Aihua, which I don’t really know her real name.
The story is about Adrian’s persona in the …
Gilligan’s Island TV Episode: Forward March
As I have mentioned before, I’m a big fan of watching Gilligan’s Island re-runs on weekends. But, even though I do enjoy most of the episodes (I’ve seen every one several times), there are some that just aren’t as good as others. One of these is the episode “Forward …
Nova: Rat Attack
Nova is a television program that runs a series of documentaries. Each episode is a documentary that tells a different story. Sometimes these documentaries are about animals, sometimes about people, sometimes about politics and sometimes about history. Many of these documentaries can be found on Netflix’s …
Simple Simon cartoon
Castle Films presented a cartoon version of Simple Simon. This now vintage cartoon from the golden age of TV begins very lively with the children’s song about Simple Simon. Then we learn everyone is going to the fair, and that’s where the story goes.
While I loved the …
