TV Reviews
Parental Control (MTV)
Ok, here is a show that I have huge problems with. First of all, let’s start off with the premise of the show. For one thing, I don’t really get the idea of trying out other dates in an effort to figure out whether or not …
Friends Season Two - The one where Heckles dies
The neighbor below Monica’s apartment has always been a pest to them. He always thinks that they are stomping on the floor, so he is always hitting his broom on the ceiling to keep them quiet. They are so annoyed with him at some times, just because they feel …
Star Trek: Obsession TV Show
While there are good moments in Star Trek: Obsession, it’s another revenge type of show where James Kirk follows his overwhelming need for revenge for some past event even when it jeopardizes his crew, something which is highly abnormal for him. Having that as a theme brought the …
House Hunters
AS someone who spent years selling real estate in one of the toughest markets in the country, New York City, it is only natural that I would gravitate to a real estate show, but it is one that anyone would enjoy. One thing that I like, as long as …
MacGyver: The Legend of the Holy Rose Part 1
The fifth season of MacGyver began with another change to the opening theme. I really miss some of the original clips, but they had to update it for the times, I suppose. The mullet is in full tilt, too. I really was never a fan of …
The Maury Show
I watch the Maury show occasionally from time to time when I am home and there is nothing on television. It is filled with drama and almost every episode is about a DNA test. The women usually brings the potential father of the baby on the show most of …
Chopped Television Show
Although I will admit that I am a terrible cook, one of my favorite television stations to watch is Food Network. I love learning about the history and uses of different foods and seeing others create innovate dishes using ingredients that I have never heard of. One …
Nova: The Four Winged Dinosaur (TV episode)
Nova is a show that I really enjoy. It is an educational show on public television (public television is a station where it is not for profit and relies on donations from the public) Nova always has interesting science stories on it. This episode was about the paleontology (the …
Medium: Talk to the Hand TV Show
Medium: Talk to the Hand had a very different beginning. The opening teaser has Alison with Mr. Bill about safety. Mr. Bill was such a contemporary figure a couple of decades back. I was never that amused with him, but once you see him, it’s hard …
Band of Brothers Episode 2 “Day of Days”
Band of Brothers Episode 2 Day of Days shows the actions of Easy Company on D-Day in Normandy. Easy company lands far away from the drop zone and there is no sign of 1st Lt. Meehan. 1st Lt. Winters takes command of Easy Company and they …
Lost TV Show
Lost is a television series on every Wednesday evening at 10 pm central on CTV. It gets better and better each time I see it. The mystery involved in this story is so intriguing, it reveals a different scenario for each character every episode. Basically, the passengers of an …
Cowboy Beboop Episode 15 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 15 has Jet, Faye, and Spike going after a con man named Whitney Hagas Matsumoto, a man Faye knew and we learn about her past.
This was a great episode because it gave Faye Valentine a back-story and revealed more about her, and why she has a …
John Doe: Ashes to Ashes TV show
Note: the big part of this show is revealed in this review. Some people don’t like to be spoiled, so I just want you to know in advance that I’m giving away the biggest part of the story.
John Doe: Ashes to Ashes is probably the most intense episode …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Samaritan Snare
The second season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, titled “Samaritan Snare” has a few comical moments to it, but ultimately, the episode is a real mess. By mess, I mean the story is pretty weak and implausible and even boring. In this episode, the Enterprise answers a …
Changing Lanes: Finale TV Show
Changing Lanes presented its 8th and final show recently. The concept behind the limited series that aired on the BET channel was that Max Siegel had begun a team to participate in the NASCAR series. The team, called Revolution Racing, is designed to help move along the …
Beast Wars - Cutting Edge
Beast Wars - Cutting Edge is an episode that has some decent action, but other than that, does not really appeal to me. For one, I do not find Cheetor developing a crush on Blackarachnia or the tension that emerges between Silverbolt and Cheetor as a result to be …
Star Trek: Is There in Truth No Beauty? TV Show
Diana Muldaur returns for her second Star Trek appearance in season three’s Is There in Truth No Beauty? Airing in 1968, her character this time around is Dr. Miranda Jones, who is the telepathic interpreter for Medusan Ambassador Kollos. Kollos is all energy and looking at him …
Touching Evil: Love Lies Bleeding
All good things come to an end, and apparently that’s what happened in Touching Evil: Love Lies Bleeding. I’ve said from the beginning that the part of the storyline I really loved was David Creegan’s relationship with his ex-wife, Holly, and their two daughters, Samantha and Lily. …
Psych: Shawn Versus the Red Phantom
Well, at least after watching the previous episode of Psych, which I didn’t feel was as good as others that I have seen from the series, I was able to watch one that was somewhat better; Shawn versus the Red Phantom.
When I saw the title, I wasn’t really sure …
MASH: Foreign Affairs
I was waiting for Law & Order CI to come on last night and decided to watch MASH on another channel. One of the episodes I came across was called “Foreign Affairs” and had two unique storylines that were entertaining.
First, you have a Korean pilot being captured and, because …
CSI Season 6 Episode 2 Room Service
I didn’t like this episode at all because of the way that it was filmed and edited. The writing was actually not bad. In this episode the team investigates two murders. One of a hot male celebrity and another of a poor Thai immigrant. From the very beginning of …
TIVO
If you have never owned a TIVO system that believe me this is one thing that I love more then anything in the world. The Tivo system attaches to your TV and works much like a VCR which stays at the top of your TV. Essentially, the TIVO will …
12 Corazones
There is a new tv show that has gotten my attention, the show is called twelve hearts, and its sort of a dating show. The way it works its kind weird, there are male contestants, and female contestants, there are 4 male contestants they all line up, and …
Simple Life season 1
The Simple Life season 1 starring Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie is a hilarious diversion for day to day life. The fact that I love this series is beyond me. I watched it by mistake one day and laughed for about ten minutes. Then I was hooked. I immediately …
Ghost Hunters: Ghostly Grace & The Palladium
Well, so far the latest disk of the second season of Ghost Hunters has been a disappointment. The episode Ghostly Grace & The Palladium had potential but both were a waste of time.
The first case was a visit to a residence. Those are always a waste of time. No …
Columbo: Double Exposure TV Show
I adore Double Exposure, which is a third season entry for our favorite unassuming detective series, Columbo. As always, Peter Falk does a superb job. In fact, I just love how he faces off against his foe in this episode.
The reason I’ve always remembered Double Exposure over …
Sea Hunt: Vital Error TV Show
The fourth season of Sea Hunt was just underway with this fourth episode known as Vital Error from January 1961. The show revolves around diving expert, ex-Navy frogman Mike Nelson, as played by Lloyd Bridges. In this half hour, Nelson is diving with is friend, Fred Darrow.
Darrow …
Scrubs - TV Show - E4
If you are yet to watch the t.v sitcom Scrubs, then in my opinion you are really missing out. It was a show that took me ages to get round to making time for, but sometimes you have to sit down with shows like this and just give it …
Thriller: Waxworks TV Show
Boris Karloff did his amazing introduction and exodus of Thriller: Waxworks from the second year of the anthology show. The show revolved around Jacquelin’s Wax Works which is an exhibit of wax figures of famous murderers. The Twilight Zone may have gotten its idea for a Martin …
Whoopi: The Fat and the Frivolous TV Show
Whoopi: The Fat and the Frivolous is not a favorite outing of this series which stars the very colorful Whoopi Goldberg. Whoopi also developed this NBC series which aired during the 2003-2004 TV season. In the show, her character of Mavis Rae is a one time singer …
Ghost Hunters Academy Season 2 Finale
Well, I have to say this about Ghost Hunters Academy; they really don’t have a whole lot of episodes. The show just came on the air not that long ago and they had the season finale last night.
The finale itself wasn’t too bad, the remaining three cadets got to …
Happy Days: The Howdy Doody Show
My youngest daughter was up extremely early this morning (probably thinking today was Christmas morning or something). So, we ended up watching early morning television. Not wanting an infomerical, I put on Happy Days and watched the episode entitled Howdy Doody.
I’m too young to remember the Howdy Doody show …
Family Guy: Chitty Chitty Death Bang
I hadn’t seen the Family Guy episode Chitty Chitty Death Bang until last night and have to say I missed out on a great one.

The Simpsons: Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington
I haven’t seen the Simpson’s episode “Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington” until tonight. And, I think it was fantastic.
Some of the later Simpsons episodes have been kind of terrible. But, this one was actually pretty good. It reminded me of what made the show great to begin with.
In the …
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 …
Bones: The Dentist in the Ditch
That was a somewhat interesting episode of Bones last night, the Dentist in the Ditch.
Basically, there is a Civil War reenactment and, while a couple feuding actors start digging into a creek bed, they come across a skeleton. At first, it is believed to be the body of a …
Hogan’s Heroes: The Big Record
Well, that was a cute episode of the show Hogan’s Heroes at lunch today; the Big Record; though it was somewhat predictable.
Basically, they are kicked out of the recreation hall so the Gestapo can have an important top secret meeting there. Hogan and his crew want to find out …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Terrorist Attack

M*A*S*H: Inga
Mariette Hartley portrays the title role in M*A*S*H: Inga. Dr. Inga Halvorsen is a Swedish doctor visiting the 4077th, and Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is immediately fascinated by her. I really love this because it’s not the usual love affair for the chief surgeon. In fact, …

Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Initiation Part 1 TV Show

The Flintstones
The Flintstones is a cartoon family living in the Stone Age. The Flintstones family consists of Fred, the dad, Wilma, his wife, and Pebbles, their daughter. In the beginning, there is no Pebbles and I think that the episodes with Wilma pregnant are some of the best of The …

Laramie: Edge of Evil TV Show

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Creature Below! was the 16th show to air during the 1965-1966 TV season, which was the second year of this sci fi series about the nuclear submarine, Seaview. The Seaview should have billing: it’s a vital part of what makes …
Divorce court (Reality Series)
I have to admit that one of my guilty pleasures of daytime television is “Divorce Court”. I have never been married and I can only assume that going through a divorce is a difficult thing to go through; however, when I watch “Divorce Court” and see some of the …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Escape from Venice TV Show
