Have Gun - Will Travel: Silver Convoy
While the story of Have Gun - Will Travel: Silver Convoy does very little for me, this entry from season one has some attraction because of its guest stars, specifically two of them — Nico Minardos and Barbara Luna.
Minardos has played the jovial, playboy-like Mexican in numerous TV shows …
Fame: Expose
I always remember Fame: Expose fairly well, mainly because it guest starred Brian Patrick Clark, best known both for Eight is Enough and General Hospital. He’s always fun to watch, whether he’s a good guy or a villain, and he plays both with equal expertise. He has …
Monsters Inside Me show
Monsters Inside me is a show on Animal Planet. It is about parasites that infect people and cause terrible symptoms. It is often graphic and hard to watch, as it shows worms and other things inside people’s bodies. Every episode has a different theme. Notably, the focus of the …
My Name is Earl
You know, I really didn’t think I was going to like this show when it first came out. Frankly, the previews of the first season looked a little corny. I actually only started watching it because it was in a convenient time frame (just before something else I wanted …
Stargate SG1: Prisoners
While this episode of Stargate SG1 was probably supposed to be dramatic, I found myself laughing through half of it. No, I was not laughing at the stupidity of the episode, like I have done with several television shows. Instead, I was laughing at their humor even …
MacGyver: Early Retirement
MacGyver: Early Retirement has more of MacGyver on the ice, playing hockey with Pete in a neat little segment, especially when Pete stops three of his shots from scoring. Can we say Mac is a pouter? It was funny. The reason for the excursion for the …
Stargate SG-1: Fire and Water
Another superb episode from season one of Stargate SG-1 is Fire and Water. Would they really kill off Daniel Jackson? Of course not, but in the first twenty minutes or so, that is what the audience is led to believe.
One of the most memorable scenes is the …
Beast Wars - Gorilla Warfare
Beast Wars - Gorilla Warfare is an episode that offers quite a lot of action and allows a viewer to see a side of Optimus that is not seen too often in the series. Of course, the only reason Optimus comes unhinged in this episode and becomes excessively aggressive …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Becoming, parts one and two
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Becoming,” which is the season 2 finale of the series, is a two part episode. Today I’m going to tackle it as one whole episode instead. And, I have to say, while a bit weak in some aspects, it really does set the …
Stargate SG-1: Memento
The Prometheus finally goes on her shakedown cruise in Stargate SG-1: Memento. There are actually elements of this season six episode that I like, notably John Novak as Colonel William Ronson, the commander of the Prometheus. He and Jack clash in the opening scenes, and it’s pretty …
Friends Episode: Phoebe and her Bike
Friends Episode: Phoebe and her Bike is awesome because of the fact that Phoebe is such a ’sore loser’ when Ross tries to teach her how to ride a bicycle. She falls down the bicycle and that scene was truly funny! Ross feels so bad that she falls …
TMZ
TMZ is a celebrity gossip show. It is hosted by lawyer, Harvey Levin, and the TMZ staff.
The show features video footage and pictures of various celebrities, from current A-listers to those you have rarely heard of. On any given show you can see video of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, …

Stargate SG-1: Dominion
Dominion is the second to the last episode of Stargate SG-1 and frankly, it bored me stiff. I don’t like the Ori, don’t care about Adria, don’t like Ba’al, and am just extremely frustrated by Daniel not being Daniel, not to mention all the times he’s been put …
Highlander/The Source
This was not the Highlander we all know and love. The Duncan in this movie was dark and brooding and unsure of himself. The movie was choppy-it didn’t have a good flow. There wasn’t much information about the characters and how they all came together. It didn’t …
Family Guy TV Show
This is a show I thought I would never like. For a long time I wouldn’t even give it a chance. I don’t even think I realized that it wasn’t a cartoon for kids. I honestly thought that it was so I figured I wouldn’t like it. But since …
Friday Night SmackDown
If you like fights and wrestling then you will love Friday Night Smackdown. In fact I am watching it right now as I type up this review. I have always loved SmackDown and I remember when it used to be on Thursday nights. Now it is on Friday nights but …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Last Bat on Earth!
Grodd travels to the future, where a great disaster has left the world in control of evolved anthropomorphic animals: gorillas, tigers, snakes, bears etc. How Grodd knew about this, I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter.

Mercy
Mercy is a new hospital drama on NBC on Wednesday nights at 8. I started watching it from the pilot, expecting a half decent medical show. I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are very appealing, the medicine is realistic, and the plotline is dynamic enough to …
Pure Pwnage
What can I say? This is one of the funniest tv shows that I have ever seen in my entire life. I can’t believe that it has taken me until now to actually see the show, I don’t know how I’ve missed hearing about it all this …
Twilight Zone Season 1 Episode 1: Where is Everybody?
The Twilight Zone was a famous show that ran for many years in the 1950s. It was unique in that it had no recurring cast, except for Rod Serling, the narrator. Each episode was self-contained, and each one told the story of a person in extraordinary, usually supernatural, circumstances.
“Where …
NBC drama Days Of Our Lives

Psych: Let’s Get Hairy
I wasn’t going to watch tonight’s episode of Psych. I’ve had a long day and wasn’t really feeling like staying up to watch it. But, my wife is out of town and she asked me to record it for her. Since I had to have the TV on to …
Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror TV Show
Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror is terrific. It’s a more in depth look at parallel universes, something that was more lightly delved into during the first season of this series. What makes this so much fun is the interpretation of the characters. This isn’t just parallel, it’s like …
Snoops: Twice Dead TV Show
Margaret Avery and Stephen Elliott guest starred in the Twice Dead episode of the short-lived TV series called Snoops. In fact, it didn’t even last an entire season. I’m not surprised because I was pretty bored by the whole thing. The only unique thing about this …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 14: Knock, Knock
Man, I wanted to like this episode more than I did. It wasn’t bad per se, but it had everything going for it, yet the end result was still only passable. Straczynski was writing it, it centered on an ancient world threatening evil, and Slimer had only …
Crowned tv show
A new reality tv show is starting! This is the premiere of Crowned: The Mother of all Pageants. The name of the show is hilarious. I am so excited for this show to start. I have been seeing advertisements on television all month long for the start of this …
30 Rock: The Aftermath
This was a definite improvement over the pilot. In this episode, they introduced all the writers, and while many of them feel like stereotypes that is the nature of new characters on TV it seems. You have to give people something to hang onto immediately and they all tend …
Project Runway: A Rough Day on the Runway TV Show
Project Runway: A Rough Day on the Runway had the competitors focused on American sportswear with Jackie Kennedy as the inspiration or muse. The twist came on what was to be runway day when the designers are told that they have to add a piece of outerwear. …
Sex in the City show
How can you not love this show? I admit, being from the church background that I was, I was NOT going to watch this! But I did. And I fell in love.
My favorite character is Samantha. I LOVE Kim Catarall! I love how she is so confident and nothing …
Moment of Truth TV Show
If you have yet to see the new Fox TV show, ‘The Moment of Truth’ you are missing out. To even think that a person could get paid for telling the truth seems crazy. But that is exactly what this show is all about.
On the …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Shoplifters TV Show
In March 1964, The Andy Griffith Show: The Shoplifters aired, and it’s a pretty hysterical half hour of entertainment. It certainly has its moments anyway.
It begins with more of Andy and Barney gossiping in their patrol car as they sit and watch the townsfolk walking by. It’s …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Deliver the Body
The reason I like Have Gun - Will Travel: Deliver the Body is because this first season episode guest stars James Franciscus as Tom Nelson, a young frontier lawyer. He’s so young here. I have always enjoyed this actor and this is a nice-size role for him. …
Two And A Half Men: The OCU Or The PADO
“The OCU Or The PADO” is the episode of Two And A Half Men originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. This was another mediocre episode that marks the downhill slide of this once consistently funny program.
Pros: There were a few funny lines. Alan’s question to …
iZombie (TV series)
iZombie is a crime drama TV series with elements of horror, comedy, action and a seriously wacky plot. Just like The Walking Dead, it is loosely based on a comic book series but is nowhere near as serious or at all dystopian. It comes from the creator of Veronica Mars …
Prison Wives
The show ‘Prison Wives’ is a new show about women who have married men who, for the most part, will be spending the rest of their lives in prison. What is wrong with this picture? I can understand if your man will get out and you’ll be able to …
Law & Order SVU: Babes
Yeah, once again a Law & Order show decides to take some story from the newspapers and turn it into a show. The Law & Order SVU episode “Babes” takes the stories of a possible teenaged pregnancy pact and turns it into a story of rape and murder.
The idea …
The X-Files: 4-D
A vicious serial killer flitting between alternate realities to live out his sinister fantasies without retribution is the premise of this episode.
This is a solid enough episode, and one of the first to really seal the new pairing of Doggett and Reyes as something to take notice of. Both …
Alias Smith and Jones: The McCreedy Bust
Alias Smith and Jones: The McCreedy Bust, the second episode of this series, sets up a recurring character in Big Mac McCreedy, played by the robust and highly entertaining Burl Ives. The character comes back repeatedly throughout this western show. He’s a delight because he’s crafty, and …
ICarly
I don’t make it a habit watching shows designed for pre-teens. But my daughter will occasionally watch the show ICarly and I have to admit it is a pretty good show.
The series features a young girl, Carly, and her friends who have a hit internet show. Each episode consists …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Clubmen TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Clubmen, a second season entry from this hit comedy series that stars Andy Griffith as Sheriff Andy Taylor, has Andy invited to a private club. He cajoles an invitation for his deputy, Barney Fife (Don Knotts) as well. The series uses variations …
TMZ
TMZ is a show that tells you updated news about celebrities and famous people. The people that talk on it just stand around and show you videos and pictures and talk about the updated news with celebrities or famous people. It’s an alright show overall, I think that they …
The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 1 TV Show
Midway through its first season, The Fall Guy presented a two part episode which turned out to be the best of the season to that point. License to Kill: Part 1 was the most intriguing episode, the first one that all these years later, I really wanted to …
Netflix Streaming Movies
I recently had the opportunity to get a free month’s trail of Netflix. I liked it so much I decided to keep just not at the plan that I originally signed up for. I had signed up for the unlimited streaming plus one DVD at a time for $9.99 …
