Wagon Train: The Gus Morgan Story
Wagon Train: The Gus Morgan Story is not one of my favorites. It really never appealed to me. It bores me, to be honest. Peter Falk is the main star, playing Gus Morgan. Also appearing is Tommy Sands as Gus’ brother, Ethan Morgan. The …
Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story
Barbara Stanwyck returns for the second time in season seven in Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story. The story revolves around her and wagonmaster Chris Hale’s romance, something that was hinted at in the season opener, The Molly Kincaid Story.
Stanwyck is a superb actress, and she pulls off …
Stargate SG1: Chain Rection Season 4, Episode 15
When General Hammond resigns after SG1 comes in hot from a mission, Jack isn’t buying the, “I’m tired of sending good people out to die,” rhetoric the General is saying. When General Hammond leave and Major General Bauer arrives and begins dismantling the team, Jack is pissed. …
Reba Season 2
Reba Season 2 is one of those seasons where you can tell a show is struggling and trying to figure out where it’s going to go next. I was a big fan of the first season, but the second season was a little different and everyone seemed to grow …
Stargate SG-1: Pretense
The best line to come out of Stargate SG-1: Pretense, a season three episode, may be the one uttered by Jack O’Neill when he looks back at the new Stargate built by the Tollan. While Daniel was just amazed by the technology, that the Tollan were able to …
Street Hawk: The Unsinkable 453
Street Hawk: The Unsinkable 453 bored me more than anything else. It started out being about a prisoner who may or may not really be who people thought. From there, it got even more flat for me. There just wasn’t one piece of this episode that …
MacGyver: Silent World
MacGyver: Silent World centers on a deaf woman named Carrie who is a friend of MacGyver’s and is having a lot of nasty nightmares that seem to end the way, in Mac being hit by a car and dying. The same footage is used repeatedly in the first …
Life Unexpected Season 1 Episode 1
The life unexpected pilot was good, not great but good. I like the premise and the actors a lot but the pacing of the episode and the script was not great. It was slow and kind of boring. The scenes all dragged on a little longer …
The Cleveland Show (Pilot)
The latest animated offering from Seth MacFarlane and company finally arrives in the form of Family Guy spin off; The Cleveland Show.
Starting off in familiar territory, complete with Family Guy regulars the Griffin family, Bonnie, Joe and Quagmire; this pilot episode serves a smooth transition before Cleveland finally hits …
Highway Patrol: Foster Child TV Show
Foster Child was the 19th episode of season three for the often dramatic TV series, Highway Patrol. From February 1958, this show follows a young boy through a very difficult day. The boy is playing with a friend next door, when that boy makes a tragic decision. …
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 …
Extreme Makeover
Extreme Makeover is a television series where each week they show 2 people who think they are ugly and want to have an entire makeover. The makeover consists of not only clothes, hair and makeup and weight but of plastic surgery. Unfortunately I think it does …
How I met your mother Season 1 Episode 17 Life Among The Gorillas
Marshal begins work at Barney’s office. However Marshal’s office colleagues act very weird and in a nasty way with Marshal. They make fun of him, because he does not know how to remain cool, and stay with the flow. So Marshal finally becomes one of them, thus the Title …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 6
In this episode, Merrill is fed up and ready to leave the school and ends up sending out a call to her maker, Patsy.
Patsy shows up with this wild, take charge attitude and is determined to take Merrill away back to her old life, which is unclear because it …
The X-Files Sunshine Days Episode
I thought that this was one of the oddest episodes of the hit 1990s American television series “The X-Files”. Many people might wonder how it is that this one has managed to make its way into my top ten weirdest episodes of “The X-Files”. However I thought it was …
Criminal Minds: JJ TV Show
A.J. Cook’s swan song is this second episode of the new season, Criminal Minds: JJ. A lot of fans are angry to see this show come to fruition. Cook was fired during the hiatus in a supposed downsizing move. Paget Brewster came close to suffering the …
Bones: Harbingers in a Fountain
I didn’t get to watch the entire Bones season premiere last night because I was busy with a few other things at the time (thanks to my wife turning a simple cleaning project into a complicated redecoration of our living room). What I did see of it, however, did …
NCIS: Missing
Two of my favorite NCIS episodes back to back. We go from “Dead Man Talking,” to “Missing,” which was a wonderful episode.
This case was full of twists and turns…the kind that makes NCIS the number one drama on television today. A navy man goes missing and it …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Tender Gun TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Tender Gun maybe end up being one of my favorite episodes, and that actually surprises me a little. It’s a fourth season show featuring Jeanette Nolan as Maude Smuggley. Now isn’t that a fun name? It makes me smile, even …
Entourage
I have always liked Mark Wahlberg so when I heard he was producing television show based on his life I was excited to see it.
Entourage delivers in more ways than one. Firstly it’s like a reality show but better, it’s peppy, fast and the dialogue is quick and …
American Idol - Week 1 Results Show
The American Idol - Week 1 Results Show had some nice moments in it, along with a few things that just aren’t my style. On the latter side was a performance by Kanye West. I just don’t like the guy. He has a prima dona attitude …
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Belligerent Ghost TV Show
I’m really enjoying watching a few of these very vintage episodes of Sherlock Holmes. From the early days of TV broadcasting, this series starred Ronald Howard, who fits as Holmes with a wonderful naturalness. Alongside him is Howard Marion-Crawford as Dr. Watson. Like the star, Marion-Crawford …
Medium: Dead Meat TV Show
This May 2010 episode of Medium, which is probably the second to the last of the entire series, really touched home. In fact, it’ll probably be a while before I eat pork again. I’ve gone through phases like that before because I am a huge animal lover. …
The Flash TV Season 2, Episode 13: Welcome to Earth-2
Recap: Earth-2 Wells with Barry and Cisco journey to Earth-2 and encounter their respective counterparts.
When Earth-2 Wells confessed he was responsible for Barry’s decreased speed from “Fast Lane” episode, I was very excited for this two-parter epic finally rolling in because I’ve been waiting to see more of Earth-2 …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 3 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell Episode Stand Alone Complex 3 begins with a strange series of events where a discontinued robot model, called the Jeri models, all begin committing suicide. These models were made to be human companions and Section 9 investigates because it’s very odd.
This episode was really …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Fear, Itself
Once again, I’m watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and have to suffer through another episode “Fear, Itself” that doesn’t even spend any time discussing vampires.
This is the typical Buffy Halloween episode, where Halloween is supposed to be a quiet time and something strange happens to put the gang in …
Celebrity Apprentice - 3/22/09
I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again. What the heck is Dennis Rodman doing on Celebrity Apprentice? If I didn’t know before that the man is a self-absorbed idiot, I do now. His confrontation with Clint Black was childish; except it was also dangerous. …
Stargate Universe: Air Part 1
My interest in the Stargate Program is pretty much confined to the first eight years of Stargate SG-1. I did not like Stargate Atlantis and its affect on SG-1, and I suppose for much of the same reasons, I haven’t been interested in Stargate Universe, either. However, …
Highway Patrol: Insulin TV Show
Sometimes Highway Patrol episodes really entertain, and sometimes they bore. In the case of Season 3’s Insulin, which was the 17th episode to air that year, I was entertained; for the most part, anyway.
The police drama revolves around two men who show up at another man’s home. …
Stargate SG-1: Forever in a Day
What do you do when you feel like your character is being held back? For Michael Shanks on Stargate SG-1, the answer was ask the producers to change the direction. The issue at hand was Daniel’s wife, Sha’re, who had been taken host by the Goa’uld and …
Due South: Dead Guy Running
Quite honestly, Due South: Dead Guy Running didn’t capture and maintain my interest very much. The story dealt with the past case of the real Ray Vecchio, a case in which he almost lost his badge. When one of the guys from that situation shows up and …
Undercover Boss: 7-Eleven
The latest episode of Undercover Boss had the CEO of 7-Eleven, Joseph M. DePinto, taking on a false identity to check out just how well his stores really do. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I applaud the CEOs who have the guts to do …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Angel
From the first episode, I had a feeling the reoccurring character Angel was a vampire and the 7th episode “Angel” finally reveals what is somewhat obvious.
I do like the fact you have a vampire who is cursed with a soul and remorse for his killing and is trying to …
Khana Khazana
The Khana Khazana is the name of the cookery show, which is being telecasted on the Zee TV. The Khana khazana is a different kind of cookery show because by watching this programme we can learn how to cook and we can also learn some very good tips. …
Best Dance Crew
The other day I was watching mtv and I caught a couple of episodes of Randy Jackson Presents Americas best dance crew. I really enjoyed watching it and I watched the live auditions for season two and the first episode of season two. I enjoy watching this show because …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 1: The Runaway Bride
This episode picks up where “Doomsday” left off, with the Doctor discovering a mysterious woman onboard the TARDIS just as he laments the loss of Rose. We see the woman at her wedding before she vanishes after being bathed in a mysterious glow.
Throughout the episode, we learn her …
Rock Docs (”NWA”)
When I saw the title of this show on VH1, I was really surprised because I thought it was about something completely different. But nevertheless, it was a special completely dedicated to gangster rap in Los Angeles. The feature was about NWA and their impact on America …
TV show Survivor
The TV show Survivor premiered in the United States in 2000 on CBS and became a huge hit that year. I remember the show that year because I was still in school and had plenty of free time to watch the show and get obsessed about it.
Jeff Probst …

Las Vegas is a show about Casino Montecito and about the private and business related problems the employees encounter.
The second season ended when Montecito got sold to a secret buyer and we also found out that Danny’s Dad died in a car accident. Danny works in the security department …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Family
Willow’s girlfriend Tara has been around for some time now but has always been a bit vague in terms of her past. That’s why I actually liked the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Family.
We learn a bit more about Tara’s family, a group of witches who seem to treat women …
Sea Hunt: Port Security TV Show
The 30th episode of season two of Sea Hunt was called Port Security and aired in July 1959.
John Zaremba, no newcomer to this adventure series, guest starred as Charlie Keller. He hires Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) to assist in various attempts to get some drug smugglers. This …
The Prisoner: The Girl Who Was Death
Strange, weird, and nonsensical. That’s how I’d describe The Prisoner: The Girl Who Was Death, which has Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) mysteriously back in London and tracking down a scientist being protected by his strange daughter. There’s no explanation for the opening of the story. It …
The Twilight Zone: The Man in the Bottle TV Show
On the surface, The Twilight Zone: The Man in the Bottle is like a wish come true. Haven’t we all secretly wished for a magic bottle with a genie inside who could make all of our dreams come true? That’s what happens in this episode, to Arthur …
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Earthquake TV Show
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Earthquake deals with an earthquake that wasn’t and JJ Powell’s refusal to be honest with his parents about his powers.
This latter plot I’m sick of and have been for the last couple of shows. This character is turning me off because I just …
1000 Ways to Die
1000 ways to die is a television show that premiered on Spike network. It has a very unique premise. The stories on the show are about people who died in the usual ways. Each half-hour episode contains about five or six stories which are reenactments of actual deaths. Some …
Birds of Prey episode 9: Nature of the Beast
Reese’s father makes his return, this time played by Mitch Pileggi. The script hangs a pretty heavy lampshade on the fact that he’s played by a different person. Several characters comment on how different he looks and how he’s not the Hawk that they had known before. …
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 5
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 5 begins with Tony Robbins helping out John Rodriguez, a man who lost his wife after she was killed in a random shooting and John became depressed and homeless.
I liked this episode a lot because John learned that he can do things, even if …

The league isn’t willing to help …
Dexter Season 6 Episode 4
Dexter has been my absolutely my most favorite show for many years. I love every minute of it. Season 6,, however, is not as entertaining as the previous one, though it is more intense and charged with meaning. Episode 4 of season 6 of Dexter was really, really …
