In this episode, entitled “Bug Attack” the …

Due South: Burning Down the House
Due South was canceled after two seasons, but it returned a year later for another season. With the renewed season came some changes, including that Constable Benton Fraser’s apartment building burns down which means he has to relocate.

Stargate SG-1: Rite of Passage
Stargate SG-1: Rite of Passage from the fifth season brings back the character of Cassandra, the alien child from season one’s Singularity, who was adopted by Doctor Janet Fraiser. While I love seeing Cassandra in a new episode, the original actress was unavailable and they chose to recast …
Dairy Q Commercials
I have seen several of the Dairy Queen commercials that are airing on television and for me they do NOT make me want to go out and purchase anything they have. Take the woman dressed up as an ice cream and the man as the waffle bowl. She shows …
The Apprentice - UK - Week 11
In Week 11 of The Apprentice - UK, Sir Alan Sugar’s quest to find a new apprentice had nothing to do with the competitors participating in a task. Rather, much like Donald Trump’s American version does, this was the interview show. Bringing in two trusted business people …
CSI Season 3 Episode 1- Revenge is Best Served Cold
CSI Season 3 Episode 1- Revenge is Best Served Cold
It was a very good episode. I enjoyed it very much. One of the cases, although presented a good story, was a bit difficult to believe. It could have been a better story line for a movie maybe, where …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 13 (Animated)
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 13 begins with Sokka and Katara getting sick and Aang goes off in search of a cure, but is captured by the Fire Nation.
This episode was really exciting. It had a good plot and really good action scenes. It had plenty …
Everybody Loves Raymond
This show is, in my opinion, not as hilarious as many people seem to think. It is no longer airing new episodes, but you can often catch Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, and the dvds are available for purchase, so it’s easy to watch this show even though it ended …
Undercover Boss: Chiquita TV Show
Undercover Boss: Chiquita was another solid episode of this unique TV series where corporate heads get in the trenches with their unknowing employees. There was a bit of a new angle for the CEO, Fernando Aguirre, of the Chiquita Brands International, to use in his undercover assignment. …

The Jeffersons (TV Show) - Florence’s Cousin (Episode)
“Florence’s Cousin” is an episode of “The Jeffersons” where the audience gets a chance to briefly meet one of Florence’s cousins. Florence’s cousin really doesn’t get much character development and he only appears in the episode for about five minutes total. All that the audience learns about Florence’s cousin …
Fringe : The Transformation
This could also be called Fringe, the Hulk because that is certainly what the beginning of this episode felt like. A disease had been given to several people, and while on a plane one of them is overcome by the disease turning into a large creature with long tentacle …
Beast Wars - Dark Voyage
Beast Wars - Dark Voyage is a very enjoyable episode that is quite unlike any other episode in the series. In this episode, four of the Maximals are blinded after a Predicon attack strikes a cache of energon. The blinded Maximals must then attempt to make their way back …
American Idol Season 7: Dallas
American Idol is staring a brand new season and this season is starting out with a splash. The Dallas audition had some great talents and some that are just plain weird. My favorite out of the two hour show is the guy that auditioned last. He wore a white …
Club808 Current Music Show
Presented by two young and trendy presenters (a local club deejay and a beautiful singer), who deliver the content in a fresh, vibey and trendy fashion, Club808 is certainly a hit with me and one Friday night show I have come to look forward too. What I like most …

The Twilight Zone: The Rip Van Winkle Caper TV Show
The message of The Twilight Zone: The Rip Van Winkle Caper is that greed just doesn’t pay. It’s an interesting story and one that is a bit unique in that three men steal some gold and then place themselves in suspended animation, setting their pods to awaken them …
Cougartown Season One Episode One
There is one word to describe the pilot of the television series Cougartown and that is awkward.
I’m not sure what i was expecting in a half hour sitcom about older women that prey on younger men but I know t wasn’t this.
The show is about forty something Jules who …
Death Note Episode 21 (Anime)
Death Note Episode 20 has the third Kira taking an interest in Misa Amane because she was the second Kira. Rem makes contact with Misa and helps her deduce the third Kira’s identity.
This is a good episode and I enjoy it. The clever turns make it …
The Twilight Zone: Jess-Belle TV Show
Here we go again. I honestly don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but The Twilight Zone featured James Best in several episodes over its history, and they are all oddball episodes. It seems like if they wanted some back country, mountain folklore, and black magic …
Invisibleman season 2 episode 21 Enemy of my enemy
Invisibleman a show about a guy who participates in a scientific experiment and some scientists put a gland in his head which makes quicksilver which covers his body and makes him invisible. Enemy of my enemy is one of the 2 last episodes of the second season but also …
Black Gold: S3, Ep 8 TV Show
The 8th show of Black Gold’s third season on the air was, well, lackluster and highly repetitive in my opinion. In essence, the hour picks up where they left off in the 7th show with the workers letting off steam at the bar, only that is where a …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Escape from Kampoon
Escape from Kampoon is the next episode of Bring ‘Em Back Alive, which stars Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan, and Clyde Kusatsu. Quite frankly, this entire series was disappointing for me. Not much about it appeals. This episode is one of the better ones, which only indicates …
The Simpsons Season 6 Episode 24
The episode begins showing Bart vandalizing public property. Marge gives him a lecture, on how to be loyal to your town. This is taken very seriously by Bart. When they go to paly with the Springfield Lemon Tree, they notice that boys from Shelbyville steal some of that tree’s …
Blacke’s Magic: Vanishing Act
Blacke’s Magic: Vanishing Act aired on February 12, 1986, and quite honestly, I’m very prejudiced towards it because I was lucky enough to be on the set a couple of days, including one of the location shoots. I was able to meet the director, Walter Grauman, as well …
ICarly TV Episode: I Go To Space
I was flipping channels yesterday afternoon and my daughter remembered seeing a commercial for a new ICarly episode; I Go To Space. I’m not a huge fan of the show, but there wasn’t much else on so I let her watch it.
Overall, it wasn’t too bad.
I don’t watch the …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Shock Waves TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Shock Waves picks up where last season ended, that being the shooting of Laurence Fishburne’s Dr. Raymond Langston. At the start, he’s being transported to the hospital where initially he’s fighting for his life. That really doesn’t last too long. He ends …
The Andromeda Strain
The Andromeda Strain is a television movie that aired on A&E or Arts and Entertainment on Memorial Day of 2008. The movie was advertised for several weeks before it ever turned up on television and they continued to push it as the movie event of the year. Unfortunately I …

Emergency!: Nurses’ Wild
Emergency!: Nurses’ Wild has some really wonderful moments in it, both on the humor front and the dramatic stage. This first season show confronts prejudice, of different styles. One story has Dr. Morgan (Ron Pinkard), who is an African-American, making a judgement on a hippie having a …
CHiPs: Mait Team
CHiPs: Mait Team is another one of those opportunities where we get to see another part of the law enforcement job handled by the California Highway Patrol. In this episode, Brianne Leary’s Officer Sindy Cahill is involved in a traffic accident that has her vehicle rolling over onto …

Christmas with the Stars
After watching what is obviously an older TV event called Christmas with the Stars, I did some research and it seems that this is probably an edited version of another holiday programming from years ago. It’s really odd how the show is altered and renamed. It must …
Chasing Mummies: Discovered TV Show
Chasing Mummies: Discovered opens with a man being injured, though that’s about the only mention of this. It’s like instant drama with no follow through.
However, there was something exciting about this hour and that was seeing the 123rd pyramid being discovered. Apparently, it had been found under …
Stargate SG1: Cor-Ai
When the team comes through the stargate and find the village empty, Teal’c realizes he has been here before as Apophis’ first prime. This world was a Goauld target for human hosts.

Gilmore Girls TV Show
I have been watching Gilmore Girls for awhile now, and I really have to say I love it!
I love the quirkyness of the show, and the acting is wonderful in my oppinion!
Lorelai (Lauren Graham), is usually the one to bring the hilarious sarcastic comments that I think make …
MASH TV SHOW
M*A*S*H* is one of my husband’s favorite TV shows, he is gathering a DVD collection of all the episodes. I often watch MASH with him, and although I don’t like Captain Pierce (hate womanizers), overall, I think it is quite a decent show. Most characters are well developed, and …
Sex And the City- TV Series
If you have recently watched the new Sex and The City movie, do not think that the original show on which the movie was based was really as bad. As a matter of fact, I was quite disappointed with the movie. The show itself was really wonderful.
It tells the …
The Andy Griffith Show: Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bee TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bee, which originally aired in October 1963, is not one of my favorite episodes. As well as the actors play their roles, I’m not a big fan of the Darling family, a mountain clan who occasionally come to Mayberry and …
Stargate SG-1: Covenant
One of the fun things about Stargate SG-1: Covenant is that it guest stars Charles Shaughnessy as Alec Colson, a wealthy businessman who is a believer in the public knowing the truth, and while he may not fully know the truth, he knows it’s out there. I love …
Trigun Episode 13
Trigun Episode 13 is a recap episode and recaps the first 12 episodes of the series, without being repetitive and boring; it shows the highlights of the series and gives Vash even more character development. It’s an excellent episode and not bad for a recap.
It explains what’s happened …
Kingdom Hospital Television Series
The miniseries “Kingdom Hospital”, was possibly one of the most disappointing Stephen King films I have ever seen. It came across as tedious and of course, there was the lack of dark humor which I expected it to have, being that I heard that it was taken from a …
Bones: Tough Man in the Tender Chicken
Well, that was a somewhat interesting Bones episode.
You have the heir to a chicken company winding up dead and tons of possible suspects in the murder ranging from the protesters outside the factory (because they built their homes by it then complained about the smell) to the guy’s wife, …
