TV Doctor Who and the Silurians
This was the second serial in season eight of Doctor Who and the first to employ the 7-part format, a decision that would eventually prove to be a mistake.
When a contruction worker is killed by what appears to be a dinosaur, The doctor heads deep down into a cave …
The Surreal Life (VH1 TV show)
I never really watched this show until the re-runs started airing on the TV Guide channel. Then I watched an episode featuring Adrienne Curry and Chyna Doll, amongst others. The idea of placing “fallen off” celebs in a household to see how they get along …
Rock of Love Bus (VH1)
I never saw any of these Rock of Love with Bret Michaels episodes from the previous seasons. But it is my understanding that this will be the final Rock of Love. My question is, why wouldn’t it be the last one? If he’s planning on …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV Episode: The Gift
My wife and I used to watch the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer when it was still on the air a few years ago. But, we didn’t start watching it until some of the later episodes (after she left college) and, because of that, missed episodes like one I …
Friends Episode: Phoebe the Workaholic
One of the early episodes whereby we get to glimpse Phoebe’s busy work-life as a stockbroker or something. Phoebe has a lot of work that she does before she becomes a Massage Assistant and the one whereby she becomes a stockbroker is also when she suffers a mini heart-attack. …
Golden Girls Season 2
The second season of The Golden Girls was a really good one. The show combines four older women of an older age who live together in Miami, Florida. One of the better episodes involved Blanche’s much older father coming to town and marrying a woman less than half his …
What Not To Wear (TLC network program)
I have absolutely fallen in love with this program. Makeover shows have always held my interest. But for some reason this one is such a success in my heart. Perhaps it is because Stacy London and Clinton Kelly (the hosts) are so funny. …
That Girl: Super Reporter
That Girl: Super Reporter concerns Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) winning the Humanitarian Award for Writing. Naturally, his fiance, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas), is proud as punch, but then her day turns to confusion when Don’s friends, spurred on by Jerry Bauman (Bernie Kopell), pull a little prank on …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 4: Daleks in Manhattan
The Doctor and Martha arrive in the TARDIS in New York circa November 1930. Considering the Doctor’s been steadfast about taking Martha home, I’m not sure why they came here. One could argue that the TARDIS just took them there as they seem to have no knowledge …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Question Authority
“Question Authority” is the 21st episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. This was a good episode featuring the Question, one of the more interesting and underused members of the Justice League. The episode also features a lot of Superman and Huntress, and continues the trend …
Sliders Double Cross
This could have really been a quite good episode of Sliders. It has a somewhat interesting take on some of the problems that face our own world (the idea of diminishing resources), a chance for our four homesick Sliders to finally make their way home as well as …
Outlaw: In Re: Jessica Davis TV Show
The first thing that I didn’t like about Outlaw: In Re: Jessica Davis is that it did not give us a resolve about last week’s episode. Well, I guess you can say it did simply by the fact that the two partners were still working together, but it …
The Twilight Zone: The New Exhibit TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The New Exhibit is a creepy show from 1963. It’s about a rather docile man who works for a wax museum. He becomes anxious when the museum closes and his most prized wax figures are in danger of being destroyed. Ultimately, the owner …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Out at the Old Ball Park TV Show
From 1960, Have Gun - Will Travel: Out at the Old Ball Park was an oddly entertaining version of this western series which starred Richard Boone as gunfighter for hire, Paladin. I really liked the opening bit because it caught me off guard. We’re again at the …
Ghost Whisperer the TV Series
I have always found the appeal of Ghost Whisperer puzzling. The fifth season will premier on September 25, 2009. Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has the ability to see and talk to ghosts, and she uses this ability to bring closure to the ghosts so that they will cross …
The 100, TV Show
I was recommended this show by a great friend of mine who is obsessed with it. I’ve being ignoring her for a while now, but I finally decided to watch it after she told me a little bit of what happened in an episode. This show is from CW, and …
Rising Damp
Rising Damp is an ancient British comedy classic, which was aired on television originally between 1974 to 1978. It stars the late Leonard Rossiter as the mean, grumpy landlord, Rigsby, and Rigsby is an absolutely classic comedy character. I used to enjoy watching this as a kid …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Curtain TV Show
The show, Sea Hunt: Underwater Curtain from May 1959, began harmlessly enough with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) in the ocean with a married couple, Ken and Joan, who were friends of his. The fun is cut short when a sort of alarm goes off, and shortly, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Everyman TV Show
The fourth season was ebbing towards its last fourth when Have Gun - Will Travel brought viewers a show called Everyman. It’s a bit of an odd tale, one mixed in the belief of the tarot cards, which is often controversial.
The San Francisco opening had Paladin (Richard Boone) …
Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 1
I watched Season 5 Episode 1 of Desperate Housewives on my local channel yesterday and was so entertained. This season starts with everything fast forward 5 years later and as usual, we see the wives being in desperate situations but either they do not mask it or they just …
Centennial: The Winds of Death
Centennial: The Winds of Death is really an intense and emotional episode of this very long mini-series based on the novel by James Michener. It’s one that I think a lot of people can even identify with today. It’s almost a century old take on today’s home …
The Simpsons Season 3 Episode 2 Mr Lisa Goes to Washington
Homer receives a void check of $1 million. He thinks he is rich and goes and ask for the money. All they give him is a Reader’s Digest. Homer not being the reader kind, takes an interest in this book. He discovers various facts and figures, amusing everyone around. …
Spongebob Squarepants TV
Hands down, Spongebob Squarepants is for me the funniest cartoon for kids and kids at heart. Its unique humor is something that not everybody appreciates, knowing a lot of articles written about it all over the web which are not favorable, but it is MY type of humor, so …
Friends Episode: Chandler Gets Busted
Friends Episode: Chandler Gets Busted is a very funny episode involving Chandler. You guys should watch this episode if you guys have not because it stars Julia Roberts and with her very lustrous and gorgeous red hair, she looks extremely beautiful. She ticked Chandler into ‘making out’ in …
Kingdom Hospital Television Series
The miniseries “Kingdom Hospital”, was possibly one of the most disappointing Stephen King films I have ever seen. It came across as tedious and of course, there was the lack of dark humor which I expected it to have, being that I heard that it was taken from a …
Laramie: Street of Hate TV Show
Laramie: Street of Hate, a first year episode of this awesome western series, featured an interesting guest star performance by Charles Bronson, who actually did a lot of television in the late 50’s and early 60’s.
In this hour, Bronson plays Frank Buckley, an outcast from Laramie who has been …
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 …
Ugly Betty Television Show
ABC’S Ugly Betty-A BRAVE Show and a huge hit bound to become a favorite ABC’s long anticipated show Ugly Betty finally premiered last week, and 16.32 million of us watched. I was at work that night and didn’t get back in time to see it. I did however …
The Lazarus Man: The Journal
The Lazarus Man: The Journal is episode 12 of this series that takes place in the west in 1866. The show stars the charming and talented Robert Urich, though in this show I don’t think much of the charm gets to come out. He’s just too …
Super Mario World - Rock TV
Super Mario World - “Rock TV” is yet another episode of the cartoon series that introduces a modern convenience to the cave people of Dome City. First, it was the wheel and car, then it was the telephone and now, the television. The difference here is Koopa is the …
The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham TV Show
From April 1967, The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham was the final episode of the fifth season. After an amusing opening scene with James Drury as The Virginian and a couple of odd and end scenes, including an action oriented chase of a Medicine Bow posse, …
Made: Cheerleaders
I’m clearly from an older generation as I’d never even heard of the Made tv series until very early this morning when I watched an episode for the very first time. In reality, the show has been on for ten years according to the website. Of course, …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Death from the Past TV Show
We’re still in 1980, October 3rd to be specific, when Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Death from the Past rolls around. The show began with a teaser that included World War II action in 1945 and an underwater lab of sorts which is being attacked. …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Shock Waves TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Shock Waves picks up where last season ended, that being the shooting of Laurence Fishburne’s Dr. Raymond Langston. At the start, he’s being transported to the hospital where initially he’s fighting for his life. That really doesn’t last too long. He ends …
The Inbetweeners - Series 3 -
The third series of The Inbetweeners. It got off to a great start in my opinion with the first couple of episodes, especially as it had a lot to live up to after the first two series. I think they also had a lot to live up to because …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Hubert Humphrey TV Show
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour went political with its roast of Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, who was widely used in stand up routines by comedians throughout the country. Humphrey was The Man of the Week and the dais had a few political comics and other types on it, …
Hogan’s Heroes: Crittendon’s Commandos
I was able to watch two episodes of Hogan’s Heroes at lunch today, including one that was kind of funny; Crittendon’s Commandos.
This one had the return of Col. Crittendon, who I last saw in an episode where he didn’t know the POW camp Hogan and his men were stationed …
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 …
Gareth Malone’s Extraordinary School for Boys TV Show
Okay, who is this Gareth Malone really? I know he’s British and that he loves music, but is he really someone with an award winning history and/or outstanding reputation? I can’t tell, and I really don’t know. I’m left to ponder the query though with the advent …
The X-Files: Jose Chung’s From Outer Space
A highly regarded writer on the hunt for inspiration, a pair of teenage sweethearts wrapped up in an alleged alien abduction, a UFO obsessed local weirdo and a man in black with a striking resemblance to Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek. All of this might make for a rather complicated …
Blacke’s Magic: Death Goes to the Movies
Blacke’s Magic: Death Goes to the Movies is a fun entry in my opinion. I like it because the theme is the movie industry, which I’m interested in. In the beginning, magician Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) is helping a movie company to stage an important part of …
Top Shot: Friend or Foe TV Show
Top Shot is the show that pits expert shooters against one another. The competitors are on two teams, the red team and the blue team. In the first three shows, the red team has lost the battles. The focus in this hour was on judgement, utilizing …
Ghost Hunters: The Stone Lion Inn
Hmm, I watched my final disk in the Ghost Hunters Season 2 DVD collection I’ve been renting yesterday and have to say the one, The Stone Lion Inn, was a bit on the dull side.
The first case was, of course, the Inn, which was supposed to be very haunted. …
Samantha who? season 1
This show is about a girl who had a car accident and after she wokes up from the coma she doesn’t remember anything about her life and herself. So now she has to learn everything about herself and most of the things she learns she doesn’t like, so she …
The Twilight Zone Original Series: I Shot an Arrow in the Air
The original Twilight Zone is a classic series from the 1950s, which is still entertaining today. I shot an arrow in the air is an episode from the first season. Like all twilight zone episodes, or least most twilight zone episodes, it has a surprise twist ending. In my …
Stargate SG-1: Bounty
Stargate SG-1: Bounty gets mixed reviews, which isn’t that all surprising as season ten starts to wrap up. In this episode, Netan of the Lucian Alliance puts out a bounty on SG-1, all of whom are on downtime of some sort of another.
The oddest segment is Mitchell returning …
Dragonball Evolution
I am a big fan of the whole Dragonball series, and I have all the series in DVD. Whatever, when I heard that Dragonball is coming alive, and a movie is in making, then I was very curious. When the movie released I was pretty much excited to see …
Death Note Episode 4
Death Note Episode 4 begins with Light coming up with a plan to kill the man tailing him and deciding to do experiments with the Death Note to see if he can control the person’s actions up to the time of death. After his experimental deaths occur, L …
M*A*S*H: Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Tom Sullivan, who is blind in reality, guest stars in M*A*S*H: Out of Sight, Out of Mind, a very nice show from early in the fifth season of this quality wartime TV series. Wounded and blinded as a soldier, his character provides support temporarily to Hawkeye Pierce (Alan …
