It is right before Mr. Krabs naval reunion, and he ends up molting out of his shell. He is really nervous because these are all the tough naval buddies he is going to see from a long time ago and he doesn’t know how he is going to face …
M*A*S*H: Springtime
M*A*S*H: Springtime is a pivotal episode to one of the characters, but it’s also a show with a lot of gaps that make it a bit sub-par. I do like the location shooting here, which really wasn’t much of a location, except that the cameras went outside of …
Futurama TV Episode: Lethal Inspection
As I mentioned before, I finally got a chance to watch some newer episodes of the show Futurama last night and, while I was impressed with the first one I watched (The Duh-Vinci Code), the one I enjoyed even more was the one entitled Lethal Inspection.
The thing I liked …
Psych: Who Ya Going to Call
I ended up watching a bunch of Psych episodes before bed last night (it was a late night for us because of the baby). One of them, “Who Ya Going to Call” was a bit on the predictable side.
Shawn and Gus are hired by a guy who thinks he …
That Girl: That King
That Girl: That King from season 5, the last season of this ABC series, had some funny moments in it. One of the things I enjoyed was seeing star Marlo Thomas dressed up in a beautiful gown and adorned in diamonds. She really looked like a princess. …
A-Team: Mexican Slayride
When I was a kid, we used to make the show A-Team a weekly viewing experience. But, I’ve never seen the first episode; Mexican Slayride before.
That is until tonight.
The 2-hour long episode does a great job introducing the main characters of the show (with a different actor playing “Face” …
MacGyver: The Wish Child
In all honesty, I have never liked The Wish Child episode of MacGyver. This second season entry just doesn’t appeal to me at all, even with a decent cast that includes Tia Carrere and George Takei. Carrere is actually only in the beginning and end, but she’s …
TV Show Numbers
Numbers is one of the best shows on tv right now! CBS definately scored big when they brought this one out. It starts out with a crime being committed, then the FBI coming in to solve it. One of the FBI agents, Don Eppes, has a brother, Charlie, who …
That Girl: It’s So Nice to Have a Mouse Around the House
Ann Marie may be one of the most independent young women living in New York, and she may be able to handle muggers and gigolos, but what she can’t deal with it are mice. Unfortunately for the actress, it’s a mouse that invades her apartment one night, sending …
That Girl: Stag Party
The wedding between Ann and Don is getting closer with the advent of Don’s stag party. We actually never get to see the wedding, and the shows after this just mention the upcoming nuptials. As always, Marlo Thomas and Ted Bessell are just superb in their portrayals.
In …
Beast Wars - Code of Hero
Beast Wars - Code of Hero is, quite easily, my favorite episode of the series and one of my favorite episodes of any show period. This episode is amazingly powerful and sends a powerful message to, admittedly a relatively young audience, although the show can really be appreciated and …
The Young Rebels: Father and I Went Down to Camp TV Show
With the 1970 TV season came a new show for me to love as a young girl. It was about revolutionary times, specifically those living in the town of Chester. Of particular note were twenty-ish Jeremy Larkin, his girlfriend Elizabeth, and two good friends, Henry the intellectual, …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Enemies
I have to say, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Enemies” really had me fooled when I watched it; and that’s not something that happens very often.
I knew from a couple episodes back that Faith had entered the services of the mayor and was no longer fighting evil; she …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jimmy Stewart TV Show
The great and awesome Jimmy Stewart is the Man of the Hour in The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was taped in Las Vegas. Right off the bat, I’ll say that the wonder of this hour is the quality of the talent there to roast Stewart. There …

Wagon Train: The Link Cheney Story
Charles Drake is the main guest star in Wagon Train: The Link Cheney Story, a seventh season entry of this great western television series. Drake is an affable sort to watch. He pulls off bad guys and good guys with ease. Here, he’s a master poker …
The Singing Bee
Our local TV channel has just brought us the localized version of “The Singing Bee”. A show produced by NBC, an all American reality show aired only about 2 seasons and did not last very long because it did not have a good tv ratings in America. Having said …
The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk TV Show
The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk made me wonder if maybe I were really watching Project Runway. Actually, parts of it had some very entertaining moments. This latest hour of Donald Trump’s very long job interview began with last week’s winning project manager, Clint, having a meeting with …
The Bucket of Truth
The Bucket of Truth was the first episode of the cult classic sketch comedy show, the Upright Citizens Brigade. It was also my first introduction to the series, which I happened to watch out of curiosity. I was very glad that I did: in those days I …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Punishment Without Crime TV Show
Okay, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Punishment Without Crime is another one of those weird stories that I need to watch three or four times to really get it, but I don’t want to. Once was plenty.
Ray Bradbury is certainly a talented and gifted science fiction author, but he’s …
The Good Wife: Breaking up (Season 2, Episode 10)
I find the storyline of The Good Wife very compelling. The series revolves around a wife who stands by her man even though he had been publicly condemned as a philanderer. What indeed happens to the wife of the philanderer after he is exposed to the public? Although every …
The Veil: Summer Heat TV Show
From 1958, The Veil: Summer Heat is the story of a man who witnesses a murder in an apartment across the way from his. Think Rear Window and you have the basic idea of what this is about, at least initially. When the police investigate, the apartment …
Glee: The Rocky Horror Glee Show TV Show
Glee: The Rocky Horror Glee Show opened with a couple of things grabbing my attention. In the opening credits, there was Meat Loaf of all people, and he was using his last name. I haven’t seen that one in a while.
Then the opening teaser with the big …
The X-Files Fallen Angel Episode
When I first watched this episode on The Sci-Fi cable channel, I could not understand what it was about. I found myself wondering constantly if the thing Mulder and Scully were investigating in the episode was a literal fallen angel or a U.F.O. I could not understand how a …
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. …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.6 - All You Need Is Love
This is a rather…awkward…episode. It actually borrows a little from one of the last season’s episodes involving romance and dating. Haim is having trouble approaching women and finding the right one - Ring a bell? Well that’s the case here… again.
It’s Valentine’s Day and while Haim is out …
Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 2 concludes the show begun the week before though it doesn’t answer a major question about the Daniel Jackson character.
The best parts of the show are the scenes with Daniel and Replicator Sam. They are cunningly written and well portrayed. The scenes …
The Veil: Vision of Crime TV Show
Boris Karloff both hosts and plays a part in this early anthology series, The Veil. This episode is called Vision of Crime and tells the story of a man who sees the murder of his brother while on a trip overseas. When he returns to America, he …

Gay Witch Hunt starts where the episode Casino Night left off. Jim and Pam have just kissed, but that only takes a moment at the beginning of the episode then they move into one of the most uncomfortable episodes of any TV show.

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Deep in the Heart of Dixie
In The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Deep in the Heart of Dixie, Socrates has fallen for his boss’ secretary. Unfortunately, this whole part of the plot was pretty predictable and sadly for Socrates, I was right with my assumptions. It wouldn’t be a surprise to many …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 20: Darkness Falls
Now this is how you do a “Monster of the Week” episode. This episode delivered on pretty much all fronts. It was gripping, it was creepy, and it presented a unique antagonist that challenged the agents’ wits and abilities. Some critics have compared this to “Ice” …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: New Fish in Town
Synopsis: A new neighbor moves by Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward and, realizing the neighbor is as stuffy as he is, Squidward attempts to keep the new neighbor to himself and convince him to remain in the neighborhood.
What I liked about this episode: Spongebob and Patrick really don’t have a …
Heroes tv program
This show is really good, the first couple of episodes I was non-plussed, but now it has me really sucked in and I find I HAVE to watch every week. It follows a group of seemingly unrelated people who suddenly develop special powers and how they try …
Nova: the Pluto Files: television show
Nova is a show that airs on PBS, the public access channel. It is a science show that covers social or scientific issues and design weekly. The Pluto Files episode is about the controversy surrounding the issue of whether or not Pluto is a planet. A …
Medium: The Match Game TV Show
Medium: The Match Game stars Patricia Arquette as the psychic Allison Dubois. She sees symbols on people’s foreheads and if they match, they are soulmates. She’s also working on finding a serial killer at a park.
Jake Weber portrays Allison’s husband, Joe Dubois. He deals with harassment …
The Twilight Zone: The Old Man in the Cave TV Show
From November 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Old Man in the Cave has its moments, but it’s not really a favorite episode. It’s more odd than appealing, and I’ve never found it to be all that satisfying as entertainment goes.
Apparently, some bomb has gone off, and the world …
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 …
Everybody Loves Raymond
Everybody Loves Raymond stars Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, Doris Roberts, and Peter Boyle. Though I enjoy this series, I do not see why it has won so many awards.
It is a nice inoffensive show, but definitely not cutting edge humor. I firmly …
CHiPs The Complete First Season DVD Set
I’m very glad I’ve added the CHiPs The Complete First Season DVD Set to my collection. The show stars Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, and Robert Pine, among others, and is about a unit of the California Highway Patrol. The shows are a hour long and are mostly …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Who Watches the Watchers?
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Who Watches the Watchers is an episode that might seem somewhat offending and close-minded to some, while others will applaud its stance and attitude on the delicate subject of religion. In this episode, Captain Picard remarks that a culture that believes in Gods …
Stargate SG1: Family
This episode marks the first rising of Apophis. While SG1 believed that Apophis was killed in the explosion on his ship, Bray’tek tells them that he and Klorel escaped via the rings, much like Daniel did.
Bray’tek tells Teal’c that Apophis has kidnapped his son, R’yac. The team …
Cougartown
At first I didn’t like the series Cougartown. Basically it’s about a woman who has recently got a divorce, she is juggling her life which includes a kid, ex husband and friends that don’t get along and then to top it off she starts to date younger men. …
Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect
I got home from work last night and, since I was exhausted, sat down on the couch and began flipping through channels on TV. I came across an episode of the show Monk that I hadn’t seen before; Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect, and decided to watch it.
This …
Pokemon
I could really sum up this show easily and just call it worth show ever! But Pokemon is a show that really did get on my nerves as a kid. I never really did get the fascination about these tiny monsters who fight each other. I think that this show …
