TV Reviews
Dexter
I discovered Dexter the television series when I was in the United States for training when my officemate cajoled me into watching it with her. I was a bit curious when she told me that this was about a serial killer of serial killers. And so I sat down …
Shanties and Sea Songs with Gareth Malone TV Show
Shanties and Sea Songs with Gareth Malone was quite an interesting show in my opinion. That’s mostly due to the fact that the topic, the style of song covered in this special program is highly dramatic and engaging. In fact, they are some of the most powerful …
The Virginian: Dead-Eye Dick TV Show
Dead-Eye Dick was a fairly entertaining fifth season episode of The Virginan, and I honestly believe that one of the reasons I liked it as much as I did was that it didn’t really involve any of the new owners, the Graingers. Charles Bickford had just one scene, …
Mad TV
MADtv is a hoot to watch. With the cast of people MADtv has, it’s a sure thing that the skits will be funny. My favorites skits involve Stuart and his crazy, overbearing, overprotective mom, Ms. Bunny Swan, the crazy Asian lady which you can never predict what she will …
The Twilight Zone: Mr. Garrity and the Graves TV Show
From May 1964, The Twilight Zone: Mr. Garrity and the Graves is another weird outing of this series. I’m afraid this once great series has taken a big nose dive with this fifth and final year worth of shows. So many are retreads and so-so works. …
Stargate: Infinity: Initiation TV Show
From November 2002, Stargate: Infinity’s twelfth episode of its lone season on the air is called Initiation. In it, Major Gus Bonner and his team of cadets visit a lovely world to relax in for a while, only an earthquake spoils their fun. In the process, Harrison, …
Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk
Today was the first time I had a chance to watch the entire Monk episode “Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk” and it turned out to be very interesting.
This episode gives us a better glimpse of his deceased wife Trudy; or at least a little more information about her considering …

“The Infiltration” is an episode from the “Inspector Gadget” television series. A proficient master of disguise is recruited by M.A.D. to take the place of Inspector Gadget, who is supposed to attend an Interpol Conference in London, England, along with Chief Quimby. Since this episode is set in London, …
Stargate SG-1: The Devil You Know
The Devil You Know, from season 3 of Stargate SG-1, concludes the events begun in the prior episode, entitled Jolinar’s Memories. For me, this second part is so much more exciting to watch.
On a mission to rescue Sam’s father, Jacob, from hell, otherwise known as Netu, SG-1 become …
Ghost Hunters: Fort Henry
I ended up watching the later showing of Ghost Hunters last night (so I could watch SVU on a different channel at 8) and I was concerned I was losing sleep over yet another case that wasn’t going to offer too much in terms of evidence.
Fortunately for me, I …
Dancing with the Stars: S11, Week 2 Results TV Show
This was the results show for week 2 of Dancing with the Stars. Last week, it was David Hasselhoff who was sent packing. That wasn’t such a surprise in my book. Tonight, it may not be a surprise either, considering the judges scoring from the performance …
Surviving the Cut: U.S. Marine Recon TV Show
The three month United States Marine Corps Recon Training is the focus of this fourth episode of Surviving the Cut. This series is pretty awesome in that it gives viewers some insight into how the military elite from all branches of the service train. You just have …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Dark Ages
One of the interesting things about the earlier episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the fact you really never get to learn too much about the librarian Giles and his past.
The episode The Dark Ages changes that.
This was actually a very good episode both because we learn Giles …
Walker Texas Ranger
Walker Texas Ranger was a series from 1990’s that is still shown in syndication.

Larry King Live
If there is a great newsbreaking story that catches everyones curiosity such as the OJ latest arrest you can be certain that no matter what happens Larry King will have an influential guest to the news story that very same night. For some reason perhaps its Larry’s King …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Teacher
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Teacher is a second season entry from this half-hour western. It’s filmed in black and white, but that helps this show I think. Color is fun, but sometimes drama is better conveyed in this simplicity.
What is unique about this show is …
Bones: The Woman at the Airport
While waiting to watch the new GI Joe movie last night, I ended up flipping through channels and watching re-runs of popular television shows, including the show Bones. I came across an episode I have seen before but not in its entirety. It turned out to be an interesting …
Desperate Housewives Season 4 Episode 6
You guys have watched Desperate Housewives Season 4, Episode 6..? You should, if you haven’t. It is really a good and amazing episode and this would be one of the most favorite episodes ever in this season 4.
This episode is totally about the Halloween episode, and as usual, …
The Million Pound Drop - TV SHow - Channel 4
The Million Pound Drop, hosted by Davina McCall on Channel 4. With Big Brother ending there was clearly a need to utilise her presenting ability elsewhere as she is quite a draw and to be fair, I think someone has had a master stroke with this idea.
The quiz shows …
TV Show: Baggage
Synopsis: A contestant tries to decide which of three men or women he/she wants to date by eliminating two based on some sort of sordid detail they reveal about their lives. The show is on the Game Show Network and is hosted by Jerry Springer.
What I liked about this …
Fame: Passing Grade
This second episode of Fame has always been one I’ve enjoyed watching, primarily because of the last scene. From 1982, Fame: Passing Grade has the teacher and the pupil both vying for the same part in a Broadway show. Of course, it’s against the rules for a …
Fear the Walking Dead (Horror Drama Television Series)
AMC’s The Walking Dead has been one of my favourite television drama series for a few years now. However, while I do find the entire experience of Rick Grimes and his companions braving a zombie apocalypse riveting, that doesn’t mean the question of what happened before isn’t continuously hammering at …
Fox News Channel
Fox News Channel is an interesting phenomenon to watch, if anything. Famous for their slogan “Fair and Balanced,” they are anything but. Bias resonates through almost every word iterated by one of the Channel’s many columnists. The half-hour news reports are fairly standard fare, but the …
The Young Rebels: Unbroken Chains TV Show
The Young Rebels: Unbroken Chains offers a bit of a reunion for one of member of the Yankee Doodle Society. Louis Gossett Jr. stars as Isak. He’s now a free man, and he’s working with Jeremy Larkin (Rick Ely), and two others to fight the British, albeit …
Emperor’s New School: Ramon’s a Crowd
One way to tell a series is starting to turn the corner a bit and is moving toward the final episodes is with the addition of new characters to the main cast. The show Emperor’s New School did this in its second and final season with the addition of …

Operation Repo TV show
Operation Repo: is one of the most action-packed shows on TV (with it airing every Monday at 9:30 p.m.). It shows the job of a repo man/woman in “extreme” situations. Unlike most reality shows, Operation Repo shows everything, including them getting shot at up-close. Sometimes characters are actually …
F List TV show
This show appears on Fuse, a music-focused station. It’s a half-hour show that plays five videos centers around a theme, whether it’s the genre of the music, or some aspect of the videos themselves, like featuring extreme sports. The problem with this format is if you’ don’t …
MLB TV
Last year I wrote a review of the MLB TV service that allows people to watch or listing to Major League Baseball broadcasts. I enjoyed it so much that I subscribed again this year and have enjoyed it very much, particularly since I decided to change my baseball team …
Desperate Housewives After the Tornado
Here is a review on the TV drama, Desperate Housewives After the Tornado. How do you get back on track after almost the whole neighborhood has been destroyed by a disaster such as the Tornado? And the episode after the Tornado on Desperate Housewives should be watched. …
Ben 10 Episode: Lucky Girl
This morning while looking at television and flipping through channels I saw one of my favourite cartoons being shown. On Cartoon Network there is a cartoon named Ben 10. In this cartoon a kid on vacation with his grandpa and cousin happens upon an alien “watch” whose correct name …
Friends - The TV Serial
Friends TV series started in 1994 and finally ended in 2004. It is one of the most popular TV shows of it’s time and many like me were sorry to see it end. There have been many reviews but I wanted to write this review as a tribute to …
CSI the TV Series
Until now I consider CSI as the only CSI. Call me prejudiced, but CSI:Miami and CSI: New York just cannot compare. When CSI opened in 2000, I was instantly curious. I think that was the first time that a show featured the people behind the police investigators. It was …
Monk: Mr. Monk is Someone Else
Another last season of Monk episode and, I hate to say it, another disappointing one.
This one followed a plot that has been done way too many times before. You have Monk being the exact look-a-like for a professional hit man and he is asked to impersonate the hit man …
Celebrity Ghost Stories (TV series)
I generally find some reality television series about supposed real life hauntings to be addictive. For example, I loved watching the television series “Ghost Hunters” when my time wasn’t so limited and when it would air regularly on the cable television channel Syfy. I also liked watching series such …
That Girl: The Other Woman
That Girl: The Other Woman is another good episode from the second season of this hit ABC comedy. Ethel Merman makes her second appearance of the season. Though the first one was the best of the two, this one has its own character and flavor to it.
One …
M*A*S*H: The Pilot
I’d forgotten that the first episode of M*A*S*H included all the shots that were part of the opening show with just a slight embellishment in the action. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. I’d also forgotten that it’s one of Hawkeye’s letters home that begins …
Timmy Time TV Episode: Timmy Wants the Blues
My 2-year-old son loves Timmy Time. I think he can relate to Timmy, who is always full of ideas and is brimming with energy. One particular episode that he likes is Timmy Wants the Blues. In this episode, Timmy decides that he only likes things that are blue. He …
Dr. House show
Watching House with his non-existent bedside manner and amazing diagnostic skills often makes me wish he was my doctor. There are people to make up for his lack of bedside manner. When I go to the doctor in reality they may or may not have a bedside manner and …
America’s Next Top Model: Patricia Field TV Show
America’s Next Top Model: Patricia Field was the 2nd show of the current high fashion season. The show was the one where the models receive makeovers, which usually sends a couple of them over the edge from the anxiety of having their hair cut or colored.
One gal enlists …
TV Show: 24 Hour Restaurant Battle
My wife and I had some free time before our regular shows came on last night and ended up once again trying to clear something off our DVR. What we ended up watching was a show called 24 Hour Restaurant Battle.
I wasn’t really sure what to think of this …
Mad Men
Mad Men is witty and refreshing.
Mad Men is AMC’s latest television series based on advertisers in New York City. It’s based in the 1950’s with “Ad Men” as they call themselves, attempting to find new ways to sell companies.
I had heard bits and pieces of the show from …

Stargate SG1: Avalon Pts 1 and 2
This two parter introduced us to many new characters at SG1 while losing Richard Dean Anderson as General O’Neill. Even though he made a cameo during these episodes, it was not the same as having him around full time.
Viewers got to meet Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell played by …
Life After Tomorrow TV Show
Life After Tomorrow was a television special done recently to look back and honor the hit Broadway stage play, Annie. Who doesn’t know this little iconic redheaded orphan and her dog, Sandy? She’s been a comic book, a movie, and a comic strip at one point or …
That ’70s Show
I grew up in the seventies and when I watched my first episode of That 70s Show, it was extremely nostalgic; it was almost like being transported back in time. The teenagers on that show have the same relationships and experiences that my friends and I had back then. …
