M*A*S*H: The Birthday Girls
My main issue with M*A*S*H: The Birthday Girls is that I have a hard time believing that no one knows when Margaret Houlihan’s birthday is. Considering all of the various birthdays they’ve celebrated on this long running series, it’s just a little difficult to go along with the …
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Proof of Love TV Show
The fifth show of the fifth season of Have Gun - Will Travel, A Proof of Love, has Charles Bronson in a nice guy role. In fact, he’s a mama’s boy. Bronson has been in several outings of this western series, and some I’ve liked better than …
Hawaii Five-O: The Box
There’s a huge guest cast in Hawaii Five-O: The Box. Everywhere you turn, there was a familiar face, and that always makes a story more fun in my opinion.
Gerald S. O’Loughlin, Gavin McLeod, R.G. Armstrong, and Al Harrington are a few of the familiar faces in this cast. …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Out of Mind, Out of Sight
So far, watching re-runs of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer every night has revealed two things about the show. First, Sarah Michelle Gellar is hot. Second, for every good episode of the series, there is at least two bad episodes.
The episode out of mind, out of sight was one …
Due South: I Coulda Been a Defendant
After watching Due South: I Coulda Been a Defendant, I find that I really do miss the real Ray Vecchio, as played by David Marciano. I’m not enjoying the fake Ray Vecchio at all, as played by Callum Keith Rennie. I just don’t even like the idea …
The Prisoner: Once Upon a Time
The Prisoner: Once Upon a Time is the second to the last episode of The Prisoner series. There were only 17 filmed. My understanding is that it was one of the most expensive shows to produce. I have no idea what its ratings were like and …
A Christmas Tree cartoon
This cartoon, A Christmas Tree, is actually a translated title of a Russian cartoon made in 1959. It actually amazed me, considering the time in which it was made. I found it to be a warm, loving film about a young boy whose father was working in …
Shear Genius
Last night, while waiting for the new season of Project Runway to start, I came across a show I didn’t even know existed; Shear Genius.
While the premise of the show, I admit, is a unique one; I’m not sold on the program.
The point behind the show, as I can …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Six —“ L.D.S.K
Oh wow, this was an amazing episode! L.D.S.K. stands for Long Distance Serial Killers. The scary thing is they said they never catch these guys, because they don’t have contact with their victims! It turns out that the unsub was an Emergency Room doctor, he injured the people so …

It’s a futuristic yarn where the extremely wealthy Stendahl exacts revenge against those who were responsible for the banning and burning of books; more specifically, his library …
CSI Miami
CSI Miami is one of several series about crime scene investigators in different cities in the US. The one from Miami is maybe my least favourite, for a couple of reasons.
The chef of the CSI, Horatio Caine, seems a bit more theatrical than the other CSI members. The way …
Man Vs. Wild on the Discovery Channel
I love watching the discovery channel but I am not a fan of the show Man Vs. Wild. My husband loves the show but I think there are too many disgusting parts. For example I just watched Bear Grylls (the only character) on the show cut open a …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Jamaican Dinner TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Jamaican Dinner began with her seated on the couch talking about changing things up when family complains about having the same thing. This was a much more relaxed opening than previous shows. However, most shows I get that relaxed feeling from …
Banana Split sitcom
What separates Banana Split from other sitcoms in the Philippines is the number of girls (and how fresh they are) in the casting. Actually, Banana Split boasts of an all-girls cast which would keep your eyes glued to the television.
Girls seem to be a staple in every sitcom. …
Stargate SG1: Ascension Season 5, Episode 3
SG1 is on a planet - Daniel is trying to translate a large wall while Sam is looking at something that Jack thinks might be a weapon. When Jack and Teal’c leave to study the rest of the deserted planet, Daniel goes inside to ask Sam for something. …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit “Disrobed” Episode
I thought this particular Law and Order SPecial VIctims Unit episode was a bit similar to the episode entitled “Payback” in the sense that it made some aspects of the trusted AMerican law a bit questionable to me in terms of what was wrong and what was right. ALso, …
Starz
Starz is one of the premium movies that you can get. I used to have all of the movie channels and then I did away with them. When I used to have them all of them were really good. Now none of them are as good as they used …
The Andy Griffith Show: Hot Rod Otis TV Show
Season four of The Andy Griffith Show continued with Hot Rod Otis on February 17, 1964. The basic premise of the half hour program has Andy and Barney worried when town drunk Otis Campbell (played beautifully by Hal Smith) buys a car.
First up, though, is some competition madness …
The Andy Griffith Show: Man in a Hurry TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Man in a Hurry is absolutely one of the must see episodes of this classic comedy series. It’s arguably the best, or at the very least, in the top 10 of all time best outings for this series.
Man in a Hurry is all about …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie and His Merry Men TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie and His Merry Men aired for the first time back in December 1963 and since then has been rerun around the world more times than I can count as part of the syndication of this highly successful rural comedy program.
In Opie and His Merry …
True Blood Episode 1: Strange Love
The first scene of the episode was great as far as letting the watcher know what the premise of the story is and gives a great pipe in for the turning plot. Two curious kids, a gas station, and monsters are a great way to start a scary …
Supernatural Season 4 Episode 2
Something strange is happening to all of the hunters. One by one is getting killed. Sam, Dean and Bobby get together to solve the mystery. Bobby finds out that it is ‘The Rise of The Witnesses’ and they need to make a spell to send the ghosts back to …

This is a realty show which is based on World famous Ripley’s Believe it or not book. The show covers some of the most amazing people and incidents through out the globe, most of which holds some landmark record. It brings the performers and they perform LIVE, which …
TV land awards
Nick at night TV land awards is one show they certainly could do without. Not really without but rewritten instead of having the most stupid categories for classic television. Categories such as Best Braces or Best superhero are so ridiculous. These categories do not uphold the integrity of …
Bones TV Episode: The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle
Well, last night’s episode of Bones wasn’t the best episode I’ve seen, but it wasn’t the worst one either.
In The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle, they find themselves investigating the murder of a rich guy who was last seen at a rock and roll fantasy camp and find themselves …

Ghost Hunters: Inhuman Entity
Well, I waited for the new Ghost Hunters episode last night and was finally rewarded. Unfortunately, I think I liked the re-runs leading up to it a bit better.
The first case was involving a family that was being terrorized by a spirit and I will admit there was some evidence …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 6
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 6 is called Remember. It is rightly so in that Torres begins have odd dreams that are more vivid than any she has ever experienced in her life before, shortly after taking on some passengers from another race. Through a joint effort Janeway …
Project Runway: We Expect Fashion
I have to admit, last night’s episode of Project Runway was pretty good.
Rather than their usual challenges, the designers had to do something a bit out of the ordinary; design a fashionable outfit for a pregnant Rebecca Romijn. Having just had a baby ourselves, my wife and I could …
Highway Patrol: Split Robbery TV Show
Split Robbery was the 13th show to air during Highway Patrol’s fourth and final year on television. The basic plot was that a couple of thieves robbed stores, taking wives of the store managers as hostages to assure they made a smooth getaway. It’s a little odd …
The Great British Bake Off: S1, Ep6 TV Show
Being in the United States, for a while I wasn’t sure I was ever going to see the finale of The Great British Bake Off. I’d managed to get copies of the first five competitions, but that sixth was elusive until now.
This cooking competition series began with ten …
Fast and Furious 4
I am a big fan of the “Fast & Furious” series. It is fully action packed, cool story, and the best thing is that it has fast cars, and I love fast cars, so for that purpose I just love to watch this movie whenever I got time. When …
Lingo (Game Show)
One of the shows I like to watch once in awhile on the Game Show Network is Lingo. Two teams of two people compete against each other. They try to guess 5-letter words, and the first letter of that word is given. If one team doesn’t …
Super Mario World - The Night Before Cave Christmas
Super Mario World - “The Night Before Cave Christmas” is not quite as memorable or entertaining as the other “holiday themed” episode, namely “Ghosts ‘R’ Us”, but I do like this episode because it is one of the few times in this episode that we actually get to see …
Project Runway: Season 8 Premier TV Show
I really loved the prolonged introduction of all of the contestants. The show spent several minutes having the designers meet in groups, little by little. They chatted, and we listened. They met at airports, train stations, and on ferry
boats. They met two at time and …
Dick VanDyke Show
Ok, I confess, I’ve never watched the Dick VanDyke show before and the only reason I watched it the other night was it came on after another show I was watching and I was too lazy to walk across the room to grab the remote control.
However, I will admit, …
That Girl: No Man Is a Manhattan Island
In That Girl: No Man Is a Manhattan Island, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) appears on a game show where her success depends on knowing her neighbors. I actually had a problem with how this introductory scene went because we’ve seen Ann with a lot of her neighbors, and …

The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - The Last Chapter (Episode)
“The Last Chapter” is the final episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. “The Dick Van Dyke Show” is easily one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, but it’s series finale, oddly enough, happens to be my least favorite of the series and I can think of many …
Friends Episode: The One Where Estelle Dies
Remember Friends Episode: The One Where Estelle Dies? This is another funny episode and one where Joey just received news that Estelle, his acting agent, has passed away, and a minute or so later, he gets a phone call from ‘Estelle’, as enacted voice by Phoebe and he gets …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Bearbait TV Show
The 34th episode from the fourth season of Have Gun - Will Travel was called Bearbait. This was an odd entry in some respects as it’s the story of a bunch of young men who haven’t grown up yet but who pretty much get their way in the …
Home Improvement
One of my favorite old Sitcoms of all time is Home Improvement. It was one of those shows, that even though it did have a very long run, it was not quite enough for me. I wish it had stayed on the air for a few more years, …
The X-Files Home Episode
I thought this episode of the popular 90s television show “The X-Files” had one of the most fascinating introductions to an X-Files episode I had ever seen. In fact, it seemed familiar to me when I watched it again recently. I think I might have watched that particular …
Project Runway: What a Woman Wants
Well, that was a somewhat interesting Project Runway episode last night; What a Woman Wants.
The designers are always asked to make outfits for celebrities and various other people and rely on their models to sell their designs. So, it was an interesting twist last night when their models suddenly …
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1, Episode 21
This is a fairly disturbing episode and one that tends to stick with me. Every time I see it, it sticks in my head for at least a day or two. It makes you think about people, and the lengths they go to just to continue making a few …
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 …
