Whoopi: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes TV Show
Whoopi: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes has Mavis Rae (Whoopi Goldberg) eager to get some hockey tickets for a couple of New York Rangers games. One of the early funny bits that I had to laugh at was how her handyman, Nasim (Omid Djalili), tried to get her …
Smallville: Lazarus TV Show
The season ten premier of Smallville was called Lazarus, and it was a good one.
I don’t watch this show regularly, but since I watched the season 9 finale and since I’ll be watching the second episode of season 10 (both because the shows guest star Michael Shanks as Hawkman), …
Bones: Fire in the Ice
Wow, two new episodes of Bones in a row and both aren’t half bad.
While not as good as the first one, which involved a murder at a circus, the episode “Fire in the Ice” still managed to be interesting.
You have a fireman who played hockey against Booth who is …
The Simpsons: Dangerous Curves
Tonight was the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode Dangerous Curves and I have to say it was one of the more interesting episodes I’ve seen.

CSI: New York: Unfriendly Chat TV Show
CSI: New York: Unfriendly Chat started out with a bit that annoyed me because of what was happening. One of the regulars was watching some you tube like connection service where you’re connected by web cam. It was completely inappropriate for a work site, especially for someone …
Yogi Bear
Yogi Bear is one of my favorite TV shows ever! I just love this show and I find it to be very entertaining. I think Yogi is funny and his voice is really funny. BoBo is his little friend who travels the forest with Yogi bear. This show is funny …
Dexter Season 6 Epi 2 (Once Upon a Time)
Dexter is one of my most favorite series of all time. I have been watching Dexter since it all started and have been quite fascinated with the storylines and the suspense. Dexter is on its 6th season now, and what I like about it is that it only has …
Baby First TV Channel
There is a new channel in our cable television channels. It is called Baby First. I think this channel is being offered for small kids or babies. The programs that you will find in this channel are not the same with the kids channel that we have. But all …
Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories, anime
I was looking for a new Japanese Anime to watch and someone recommended that I try one called Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories. However, I had my reservations about it because once I took a look at it, the animation was very different from a lot of other Japanese anime that …
Mythbusters: Duct Tape Hour 2 TV Show
Duct Tape Hour 2 aka: a Buster’s Cut episode of Mythbusters was terrific to watch. I still love the first hour, which came from curiosity of which MacGyver tricks might actually have worked, was a load of fun. They built a boat and lifted up a car …

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 …

Psych: Shawn takes a shot in the dark
Well, I guess the character of Shawn Spencer can’t criticize all the survival training his dad gave him as a kid any more. After all, he had to use all of it to survive last night’s episode of Psych; Shawn takes a shot in the dark.
Shawn gets shot and …
Cowboy Bebop episode 17
In space, fuel and food does not make itself. A fact that all of the members of the bebop have discovered. Cowboy Bebop episode seventeen is a joke. The title “Mushroom Samba” gives away how badly written the plot is, that it only saves its self with the style …
TV Show: Big Time Rush
Synopsis: A Nickelodean show that follows a teenaged band and their lives in high school while living with their fame.

Home Improvement An Older Woman
I’m a huge fan of the show Psych so when I saw Maggie Lawson starring on a re-run of Home Improvement at lunch today, I had to take a few minutes to watch it.

Fireball XL5: Space Pirates

One of the most interesting new television shows that I’ve discovered recently is one called Brain Games that comes from time to time on the cable television channel National Geographic. I think that the reason why I like it so much and the reason it stands out is because …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 11: Excelsis Dei
Whereas last episode was overly convoluted, this one provides a plot complex enough to keep you invested, but not so much so that it becomes confusing. There are a lot of aspects at play here, but they all actually tie together whereas in the last episode it was …
Diagnosis Murder: Many Happy Returns TV Show

Have Gun - Will Travel: Man in an Hourglass TV Show
This review will cover the December 1962 show, Have Gun - Will Travel: Man in an Hourglass. It was the 12th episode of the western’s sixth season, and it does have some very interesting elements to it. As always, Richard Boone stars as Paladin, the sometimes poetic …
The Apprentice UK: S6, Ep 3 TV Show
The Apprentice in the United Kingdom continued with this third outing in which the job applicants are given a very early morning phone call and told to meet Lord Sugar at Piccadelly in a half hour. Nothing like short notice; it’s fun.
At the beginning, Lord Sugar changes up …

I tried to watch recently on two different occasions. I had a hard time getting through each episode. The first time, I gave her the benefit of the doubt; I thought it was just the topic that I was not very interested in. She was really …
Super Gran TV show
I was really pleased the other day to discover that Super Gran is being shown on TV again, since I had thought that it had been long since forgotten by most people and would gradually fade into the distance with only the occasional DVD release to self-mocking older viewers …

The Simpsons: The Wife Aquatic
I finally got to see the entire Simpsons episode The Wife Aquatic last night. And, overall, I feel I wasn’t very impressed with it.
The plot of this episode started out promising. Marge wants to go to an island that presented plenty of childhood memories. But, when they get there, …
Hannah Montana
I loved watching the Hannah Montana series ever since its first season. That was when we were really young. My favorite character is Lilly. All the characters are funny but Lilly’s humor is different. She sometimes act like she’s slow or dumb and it’s funny! I like every episode. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Ledge TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Ledge was a bit different than what we normally see from this particular western series. Richard Boone stars as the man in black, Paladin, a gunfighter for hire who also has a sophisticated side. We didn’t see any of that in …
Columbo: Blueprint for Murder TV Show
Columbo: Blueprint for Murder begins with a heated face off between Elliot Markham and Bo Williamson. The latter is the one with the money, and Markham wants his share of it. It’s a loud run in and certainly captures the viewers’ attention right away. Forrest Tucker …
Captain Sig Hansen
Captain Sig Hansen runs the Northwestern, an enormous crab fishing rig that operates in the Bering Sea of Alaska. I like getting to watch Captain Sig and the Northwestern crew on the Dicovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch”. It’s intersting for me to watch him interact with his deckhands, …

Saved by the Bell was a really cool show that I remember. It was show that brings back to many memories and really made me laugh. The show is about a bunch of kids in high school. It’s very funny and also very entertaining. I think the way the kids …

In the Flesh (BBC Three Drama)
Just a few years ago vampires were all the rage in pop culture, especially with everything related to teenagers. It all started with Stephenie Meyer’s series of books “Twilight”, which flew off the shelves, and continued to a blockbuster movie series that starred Hollywood’s hottest young elite. Soon came …
The Twilight Zone: The Mind and the Matter TV Show
I suppose you could say that The Twilight Zone: The Mind and the Matter is a show about the human condition. It begins with Archibald Beechcroft (Shelley Berman) being annoyed with the world. He’s just a cantankerous man who is tired of noise and people, who he …
Friends Episode: The One with Rachel’s Other Sister
I would have to give 10 points for this Friends Episode: The One with Rachel’s Other Sister. Hilariously funny, because Amy, Rachel’s sister, is not satisfied with Rachel’s mistrust on her taking care of Rachel’s baby Emma. Amy starts to snort beside Rachel and trying to find fault …
