TV Reviews
Stargate SG-1: The Ark of Truth
Stargate SG-1 aired on television for ten years, and it went through some major changes. As someone who prefers the first three seasons, the vintage years as I call them, I wasn’t at all fond of the final two years. Richard Dean Anderson, who played the lead …
M*A*S*H: A War for All Seasons
M*A*S*H: A War for All Seasons goes through the year1951 told in one thirty-minute show, which further points out how crazy it is that this show lasted almost five times the length of the actual war, which went from 1950-1953. This would mean that the first eight seasons …
MacGyver: Countdown
MacGyver: Countdown is the fourteenth episode of season one. It’s a very watchable show which has the action contained and rather subdued aboard a cruise ship. The sedentary action is watching Mac and his buddy try to disarm three bombs that have been set on the passenger …
Highway Patrol: Framed Cop TV Show
Framed Cop aired in Highway Patrol’s fourth season on television and was in fact the 21st episode. I actually enjoyed this February 1959 outing that showed us another side of the criminal system and how it can impact the police department.
In the course of getting revenge, Sergeant Ken …
My Life - Episode 1 - My Life
This was a great day to start my story about my life and all the people you will know as time ticks on. Days and months which pass and yes, even years. But no I am not going into lots of detail throughout my story. I will tell you my …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Alice TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Alice, a season five episode, starred, as always, Richard Boone as the gunfighter for hire, Paladin. In this show, he does a stunt that makes my heart sad and that’s because they most likely used a trip wire to fall a horse that …
Highway Patrol: Dan’s Vacation TV Show
I rather enjoyed Highway Patrol: Dan’s Vacation, a show from Season 3. This 34th episode had Chief Dan Mathews, series star Broderick Crawford, on vacation. He arrives at the pretty Aspen Lake Lodge and is told that the former owner died a few months earlier, and …
BT Vision
I recently moved to a new apartment and it had a BT phone line already installed, so for convenience I went with BT for my internet services and I also subscribed to BT Vision. I like the idea of having all my services with one provider and I …
Gilligan’s Island - Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow TV Show
I have to say this episode is quite fun to watch. Gilligan has to be the versatile character since he has different roles to play. Gilligan roles yes, but he performed each role of old man, bald man and Gilligan himself. There was that nagging unrealistic use of crude …
Columbo: Double Shock TV Show
In my last review for the prior episode of Columbo, which was called The Most Dangerous Match, I stated that sometimes even good actors can’t draw a person into a story. Unfortunately, for me, that is again the case with the Double Shock episode, which ended the detective …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 17
Denny Crane tied the knot to Beverly in this episode. Funny after his wedding, he had sex with a waitress at their reception. Beverly discovered this and wanted a divorce. Shirley, Paul and Brad were alarmed because Beverly might be interested in the equity in the firm. Beverly’s predicament …
FX channel
I watch the fx channel quite a bit on television. They play some pretty good movies on the channel from time to time. I like the channel because of the movies that they play. They play a variety of different movies. Mostly I see action movies on this channel …
Gilligan’s Island - Quick Before It Sinks TV Show
This episode is interesting, yes another survival scenario which I find they are more thought out than other shows. Especially with all the inventions the professor comes up with. Like in this episode not just the professor comes up with the hut ark, but also the women do too. …
The 2009 Hollywood Christmas Parade
The annual The 2009 Hollywood Christmas Parade began poorly with some horrible camera work. The two hosts, Erik Estrada and Laura McKenzie weren’t centered in the camera frame, resulting in Estrada having a third of his body, including his face, cut off. It was just horrid.
The parade …
Top Shot - The Long Shot TV Show
I never thought I’d watch a TV show that focused on guns, be it rifles or handguns, but Top Shot is a new reality competition show and I’ve become a bit intrigued by the contestants and their challenges.
Top Shot is hosted by Survivor contestant, Colby Donaldson. I always …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - Funny Pants
One day while at work at the Krusty Krab, Squidward makes a comment to Spongebob that wasn’t really funny but Spongebob laughs histarically. It wasn’t the funniest thing ever, but he just really likes to laugh a lot. Squidward tries to get him to be quiet by telling him …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Great Wide World Over There TV Show
I was very surprised that I enjoyed The Ray Bradbury Theater: Great Wide World Over There as much as I did. This is a really quiet, unassuming half hour from October 1992. The cable show starred Tyne Daly as Cora Gibbs, Bill Johnson as her husband, Tom …
Columbo: A Stitch in Crime TV Show
Columbo’s A Stitch in Crime from season two has been a show I’ve always remembered. Leonard Nimoy guest starred as a surgeon who attempts to kill his mentor via certain actions on the operating table, and the only one who believes that is Sharon Martin, a surgical nurse. …
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus Unbound
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus Unbound from season eight is a show I have some conflicts about. On its own, it’s not bad, though there are issues, but when applied to SG-1 as a whole, I hate it because it’s the show that brought the character of Vala to the …
Grey’s Anatomy (TV series)
Grey’s Anatomy is a medical drama that airs on the ABC channel on Thursday nights. I came into the show a little bit late, but I have been slowly catching up from season 1.
The show reminds me vaguely of ER. However, there are some points to …
Stargate SG-1: Enemies
Season 5 of Stargate SG-1 blasts its way onto the screen in a show called Enemies. It’s a good show well worth the hour watch.
Stargate SG-1: Enemies picks up where Season 4’s cliffhanger, Exodus, ended. One of the early scenes is a poignant conversation between Jack and …
Jon Stewart Daily Show
Liberal, conservative, blue whale; no matter what your political standing, you have to hand it to Jon Stewart: he knows his material and he presents it in a way anyone can enjoy. No side is safe from his sharp tongue and quick, witty observations, and even the most …
Psych: Weekend Warriors
Like I mentioned in another review, I ended up watching a couple more episodes of the show Psych before bed last night. One of those episodes was a half-way funny episode entitled “Weekend Warriors.”
This one has Shawn and Gus posing as Civil War reenactors after someone appears to be …
Stargate: Infinity: Who Are You? TV Show
It’s a common piece of advice, a cliche even, that things aren’t always what they seem. That’s the first lesson of Stargate: Infinity: Who Are You? which is the children’s animated version of the hit science fiction series, Stargate SG-1, only there’s very little that really resembles that …
Clean House (American TV Show)
Ask anyone of their aspiration in life and house is certainly included in their long wish-list. I am one of the persons who aspire to have one someday, for now I’m content of seeing elegant houses on magazines and on TV. Clean House a foreign TV show, seems to …
Masters of Horror Series
Masters of Horror was a television series that aired on Showtime for two seasons. Since Showtime is a pay channel (and fairly expensive in my area), I didn’t see the episodes when they first aired. Instead I purchased the episodes as they were released on DVD, which happened at …
Glee TV series
I love Glee! I have always loved watching musicals and when something like this came out, I immediately saw to it that I watch the first TV show they aired.
I have been watching it ever since and has really enjoyed watching the Glee cast being introduced to the public. …
The Twilight Zone: The Four of Us Are Dying TV Show
Quite honestly, The Twilight Zone: The Four of Us Are Dying isn’t one of the shows that I really want to watch. It’s packed with talent, but the plot just doesn’t go over with me. It’s about a man with the ability to change his appearance on …
Supernatural the TV show
Supernatural at first glance was a complicated show but after watching the first few shows of the most recent season the show is very good and I am saying this right now that you need to check this show out ASAP because it is non stop entertainment at its …
Supernatural: Lazarus Rising
I have to admit, i wasn’t expecting much of this season. It starts four months after the end of season 3, when Dean was killed and sent to hell. Dean wakes up in a coffin, in the middle of a forest. He was liberted from hell. …
Whoopi: She Ain’t Heavy, She’s My Partner TV Show
Sheryl Lee Ralph guest stars as Mavis Rae’s former singing partner, Florence, in Whoopi: She Ain’t Heavy, She’s My Partner. Whoopi Goldberg developed this show for airing on NBC in 2003 and plays Mavis, the one time singer who now owns a hotel. The two are reunited …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire, the 18th show of the 2nd season, was a terrific episode to watch. However, just a few moments into the show, it might look very familiar to some.
This story is a variation of the movie the series …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Betty White TV Show
The MGM Grand in Las Vegas was the site of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast in which Betty White was The Woman of the Hour. She was one of the few women to be roasted. Aside from her co-stars in her then-current The Betty White Show — …

War and Remembrance: A Living History TV Show
War and Remembrance: A Living History aired a couple of weeks prior to the showing of War and Remembrance, the massive mini-series which continued the story of the Henry family from The Winds of War.
A Living History is narrated by Robert Mitchum which is interesting because I recall that …

The Jetsons
The Jetsons is a great TV show that started in the 60s. But later there were more shows made in the 80s and the re runs were shown for decades. This is a great show, and I really love how they thought the 21th Century was going to be. The …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-15-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 15, 2010 was another waste of time for me. This was just their third show, but again, I have to ask what the point is in watching two immature females trying to control the airwaves?
Alexis is this tall blonde who appears …
Due South: Burning Down the House
Due South was canceled after two seasons, but it returned a year later for another season. With the renewed season came some changes, including that Constable Benton Fraser’s apartment building burns down which means he has to relocate.
The biggest change concerns Detective Ray Vecchio (David Marciano), who calls …
ABC’s 25 Days of Christmas
Perhaps I’m going crazy, but at the beginning of December I remember seeing ABC advertising like crazy how they were going to be having Christmas shows every day of the month until Christmas. And then, after the first couple of days I keep watching them every day for …

Here Come the Brides - The Complete First Season DVD set
I was so thrilled to receive Here Come the Brides - The Complete First Season DVD set recently. This family drama is one of my all time favorite shows, and one of its stars, Bobby Sherman, is one of what I call my core group actors. My …
Futurama TV Episode: Love’s Labours Lost in Space
Last night was the first time I had a chance to watch the Futurama episode “Love’s Labours Lost in Space.” And, for the most part, it wasn’t terrible.
Basically, the Planet Express team is sent on a tax deductible charity mission to rescue animals from a planet that is about …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Mystery at the Lighthouse (Episode)
“Mystery at the Lighthouse” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. In some ways, this episode is reminiscent of a previous episode, “Clefairy and the Moonstone” in that it deals with some of the mysterious of the Pokemon world. Both episodes have a certain mysterious aire to them …
