Justice League Unlimited Season One: Flashpoint
“Flashpoint” is the 23rd episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. This is easily one of the best episodes of the season, even without a big knockdown dragout fight between the heroes and any supervillian. The episode is so great because it starts the beginning of …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Pack
The Buffy episode The Pack has to be one of the most interesting episodes I’ve seen of the series and it doesn’t even have her fighting vampires.
As like many episodes of this show, Buffy and her friends are forced to fight another supernatural entity; this time it’s a pack …
Stargate SG-1: Arthur’s Mantle
Stargate SG-1: Arthur’s Mantle is a good episode that has some nice moments in it. While working on an experiment, Sam and Mitchell are thrust into a different phase where no one else can see or hear them. Sam theorizes that Daniel should be able to see them …
Babylon 5 Season 1, Episode 9: And the Sky Full of Stars
This episode focuses on the 24 hour blank spot in Commander Sinclair’s memory before the end of the war. It’s set off when two men manage to sneak aboard the space station and reveal that they have plans to target Commander Sinclair. I figured it was an …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jimmy Stewart TV Show
The great and awesome Jimmy Stewart is the Man of the Hour in The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was taped in Las Vegas. Right off the bat, I’ll say that the wonder of this hour is the quality of the talent there to roast Stewart. There …
Medium (TV Series)
My mother and I sit through re-runs of Medium. When I first saw Medium, I was not too interested since I really have no interest in the paranormal. However, when I inadvertently sat in one of its episodes, I thought it was more plausible than Ghost Whisperer. Medium follows …
Private Eye: High Heels and Silver Wings TV show
Lisa Jane Persky gets a chance to shine in Private Eye: High Heels and Silver Wings from 1987. Persky was a regular on this detective drama that didn’t last more than a half-season, and her part was that of the wacky, daffy, wannabe starlet that is very stereotypical …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Season 3 Vol 2 DVD
The third season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is routinely vilified by fans of science fiction as a tragic end to an otherwise phenomenal program. The main problem with Season Three was the fact that it generally centered on some truly awful and ludicrous plots that …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 3: We Have Cleared the Tower
After the tragedy of Apollo One, things around NASA were a little shaky. This is shown throughout From the Earth to the Moon - Part 3: We Have Cleared the Tower when preparations are underway for the Apollo 7 mission. The mission commander was Wally Schirra, played …
The Young Rebels: Suicide Squad TV Show
From 1970, The Young Rebels: Suicide Squad continues the events of the Revolutionary War. It was one of my favorite shows during that TV season, and I was so glad to be able to see so many of these shows again recently.
This episode is fun because Jeremy and …
The Cleaner: Five Little Words
The Cleaner: Five Little Words is an intriguing episode from the show’s first season. It’s one that is full of flashbacks where we see some of what William Banks (Benjamin Bratt) has gone through as he battled drugs in the past. We get to see how he …
Dawson’s Creek Season 6 Episode 602 The Song Remains the Same
The Song Remains the Same, Episode 602, opens with Joey and Dawson in bed, kissing after a night of love-making. And then when Joey wakes up Dawson is walking in with coffee and roses that he picked for her. It’s a really sweet scene, but there is something that …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Dead Man TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Dead Man aired originally on cable television on September 26, 1992. These stories all come from the mind of science fiction writer, Ray Bradbury. This particular tale is a very quiet one and is appropriately odd as so many of Bradbury’s stories …
Man vs Wild TV show
Man vs Wild is a hit TV show on discovery channel, a very unexpected blow out. The program has something to appeal to everyone; from the beautiful scenery, the intensity of the plot, the outrageous feats, education value, and the thrill of it all.
I make it a chore to …
Stargate SG-1: Point of No Return
Stargate SG-1: Point of No Return is an odd episode with some funny moments, but once again, the team is divided, and that’s always a sad thing. This time around, it’s Jack and Teal’c who cover one part of the tale, while Daniel and Sam work together.
Now I …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man of Many Faces TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man of Many Faces, episode 6 of season 4, and begins with a shocker. Well, for those who fall for these sort of things, anyway. We’re at a press conference where Dr. Randolph Mason claims that Admiral Nelson is opposed …
The Nanny show
The Nanny is a pretty funny show. It’s not the best thing ever, but it’s not horrible either. I think that Fran The Nanny looks pretty hot. The only problem is her voice is kind of annoying. And after hearing that voice show after show, you are start to get …
Glee TV series
I love Glee! I have always loved watching musicals and when something like this came out, I immediately saw to it that I watch the first TV show they aired.
I have been watching it ever since and has really enjoyed watching the Glee cast being introduced to the public. …
CSI: New York: Sangre por Sangra TV Show
CSI: New York: Sangre por Sangra just isn’t my kind of show. These gang stories are a dime a dozen, and there rarely is any kind of new spin to them. For me, the hour was drudgery. Basically, a gang leader is murdered and the CSI …
House: Teamwork
Well, once again, the show House seems to be changing the cast again. At least they managed to bring back Thirteen and, since there really wasn’t any point in her, got rid of Cameron (though I have a feeling we’ll see her again).
This wasn’t a bad episode either. You …
Stargate: Infinity: The Natural TV Show
Stargate: Infinity: The Natural is another lesson show. Actually, I think they all are, but it seems that the last half of the season is much more focused on that than the first half, or maybe it’s just standing out to me because it seems to be so …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Clefairy and the Moonstone (Episode)
“Clefairy and the Moonstone” is an episode of the Pokemon television series. What is perhaps most interesting about this episode is the story. I like how this episode exhibits a certain degree of mystery by exploring whether or not the Clefairy and Clefable came from outer space and I …
Faerie Tale Theater: Rumpelstiltskin
We have been watching episodes of the 1980s series Faerie Tale Theater with our daughter. One of the episodes we watched was Rumpelstiltskin, a book I have read to my daughter but she didn’t remember.
The episode wasn’t too bad. You have Ned Beatty playing the king who insists that …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 56: Masquerade
The synopsis for this episode filled me with dread. If there’s one concept in this show more loathed than Slimer, it’s the Junior Ghostbusters and this is the episode that plants the seed for that concept. I was all ready to hate this episode and bash on …
Forever Knight tv series
As I was remembering the popular series “Renegade” recently, I also remembered the television series “Forever Knight” that used to air on local television around that same period of time. When the series “Forever Knight” started to air on the local television channel that brought it in the nineteen …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Price of Doom TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Price of Doom, the fifth show of this successful sci fi series, opens with a blizzard in Antarctica. It also brings us our first real sea monster story, a device that would become more the norm than the unusual. …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 59 (Anime)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 59 has Roy Mustang refusing to perform human transmutation and Pride and Wrath forcing him to open the gateway. He is taken to where Ed, Al, Izumi and Hohenheim are and learns a terrible truth.
This episode was very exciting and the twists and turns …
M*A*S*H: The Incubator
M*A*S*H: The Incubator has some funny bits to it, but this second season entry for the highly hysterical comedy series isn’t one that’s high up on my list. There’s nothing that bothers me about it, but it’s just not that memorable. I guess you could say that …
Fame: Metamorphosis
Fame: Metamorphosis is the premier of the musical dancing television series which was based on a hit movie. I recall at the time being a little put off by star Debbie Allen’s comments on The Tonight Show that they’d found an even better Coco Hernandez than Irene Cara …
Gone Country 3 - episode 1
Country singer John Rich, of Big and Rich, is doing it again. Over on the CMT channel, the third round of Gone Country has just begun. The idea here is that entertainers, old and young, from all genres of entertainment, be it music or acting, try their …
Til Debt Do Us Part
This is a fun show that I think I learn a lot from. While a lot of the advice is not necessarily applicable to my life, it’s interesting to see what other people have done and what the solution is.
There is of course a certain sense of humour …
How I Met Your Mother Season One
The first season of How I Met Your Mother was so great that I’m not surprised it got picked up for a second season and then subsequent seasons later. The show follows a man named Ted and his friends as they live and work in Manhattan. The point of …
The Twilight Zone: An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge TV Show
After years upon years of watching The Twilight Zone, there are maybe two or three that don’t immediately pop out at me where I don’t instantly know the story when it comes on TV. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge from season five is one of those. …
American Gladiators (Jan. 7 episode)
While I have written how much I love the idea of American Gladiators returning to television, after watching the Jan. 7 episode of the show (the third overall), I’m finding myself questioning whether the contestants are winning fair and square.
First of all, the winners are a little too likeable. …
Fireball XL5: Space Pen
One of the things I’ve longed realized about Fireball XL5 is that the lovely blonde Venus gets more change of clothing than any of the other characters. I suppose that’s how it really is in life anyway, but it’s amused me quite a bit. In this show …
Masquerade: Caribbean Holiday
From January 1984, Masquerade: Caribbean Holiday is a so-so entry for this TV series. The series itself didn’t go over very well. I was one of the small minority who actually did watch it. I liked the unique concept of a spy agency getting every day …
Destination Truth: Island of the Dolls/Lusca
After watching Destination Truth last week for the first time, I couldn’t wait for last night’s episode “Island of the Dolls/Lusca.” It did not disappoint.
Even my wife, who didn’t get a chance to watch the show with me last week, was impressed.
The first case on this one was definitely …
The Twilight Zone: Mr. Denton on Doomsday TV Show
Episode three of The Twilight Zone isn’t a particular favorite of mine. It’s called Mr. Denton on Doomsday and features Dan Duryea. Certainly, Duryea was one very talented man. He’s been in numerous shows that I have enjoyed greatly, but this wasn’t one of them. …
Star Trek: Wink of an Eye TV Show
Star Trek: Wink of an Eye gives Kirk more kissing to do, and I rarely like those shows. That’s probably why this isn’t on my list of ‘must see’ Treks. It’s okay, and it has it moments, but in some ways, it’s just a retread of an …
Taken Miniseries
Taken was a massive miniseries that aired on the Sci-Fi Channel and was produced by Steven Spielberg. The series covered 50 years of alien history, beginning with the Roswell incident. I watched it when it aired on television, and also grabbed the boxed set when it came out and …
On Demand Television
I opted to purchase On Demand Television in my home. As a result, I have wound up getting four hundred some odd television channels that I thought I would never utilize. I suppose I underestimated the the addictive nature of being spoiled enough to have such a …
Best Week Ever
I’m not sure if Best Week Ever is still on televsion, but “Best Week Ever” was a series which would be aired every week on VH1. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first since I realise that many of these programmed on Vh1 tend to be nothing …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Here Comes the Squirtle Squad (Episode)
“Here Comes the Squirtle Squad” is an episode of the “Pokemon” series and the third episode in a row the deals with an abandoned Pokemon or abandoned Pokemon. After watching “Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village” and “Charmander the Stray,” I admit that the theme of abandonment was starting to …
Banana Split Show
There have been a lot of things going on over the television, new shows coming up, and old ones suddenly stopped being shown; Well I am here to actually talk about the new funny show they have at ABS-CBN company. This show is called Banana Split; starred by 5 …
Centennial: The Scream of Eagles
Skipping ahead to modern day, the majestic and inspiring mini-series, Centennial, concludes with this episode called The Scream of Eagles. It’s a wonderful wrap up that reviews how the land was loved and nurtured by the Native American Indians and just how the white man has done just …
Simpsons - The Fight Before Christmas
Christmas stories are a very popular things, especially around Christmas but the first time I saw this episode was not at Christmas time, but it was still funnier than most of the episodes before and afterwards. It was a four part story-telling with Lisa, Maggie, Marge, and Bart. I …
Ghost Hunters: Ghostly Grace & The Palladium
Well, so far the latest disk of the second season of Ghost Hunters has been a disappointment. The episode Ghostly Grace & The Palladium had potential but both were a waste of time.
The first case was a visit to a residence. Those are always a waste of time. No …
Earl and Fairy Japanese Anime
Earl and Fairy is the English name for Haushaku to Yosei, a Japanese anime and manga from Japan. This review is about the anime version on the story. I am a big lover of Japanese mangas and animes, so on my hunt for a good romance anime, I was …
