Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story was a hoot and one of the best non-Robert Fuller episodes of Wagon Train. Fuller actually missed several episodes due to an accident, so it’s a long stretch without seeing Cooper Smith. Still, this story had some fun in it.
Melanie …
Dexter
I discovered Dexter the television series when I was in the United States for training when my officemate cajoled me into watching it with her. I was a bit curious when she told me that this was about a serial killer of serial killers. And so I sat down …
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 18 Bluff
This was a very interesting episode, although it seemed a little bit strange. Somehow it felt like the events were rushed a bit and that things were all of a sudden going to well for the team of prisoners in the story, after such a long time, where things …
Deal or No Deal
Deal or No Deal is a game show that comes on Wednesday nights. It is like playing a lottery game because you have a chance to win a million dollars. You must choose 1 of the cases for yours then eliminated the others hoping to not get the big …
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 …

Doctor Who 2009 Easter Special: Planet of the Dead
Rather than go for another full season, Tennant and crew decided to wrap up his run with a series of specials. There was, of course, the Christmas special, which has become something of a Doctor Who tradition, but they followed it up with an Easter special. As …
Laramie: No Second Chance TV Show
Laramie: No Second Chance, a second season outing of this hit western, features Fay Spain as Fran Ericson, and she has one very big vendetta against Slim Sherman (John Smith). Her venom runs deep.
Spain was a petite powerhouse with quite the pout in her day. She really …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - No Weenies Allowed
This is absolutely one of my favorite Spongebob Squarepants Episodes of all times, and we own it on boxed collection on DVD because we watch so much Spongebob at our house. I started to collect the seasons on DVD when we had kids, just because it keeps them happy …
Spongebob Squarepants Season 5 —“ Good Ol’ Whatshisname
Mr. Krabs makes a deal with Spongebob and Squidward that if he learns the names of all the customers in the restaurant, he will give them a prize. They are both so surprised that Mr. Krabs is going to actually give them something that they start to scurry around …
Gilligan’s Island -The Producer TV Show
Here we are again graced with another famous guest actor Harold Hecuba, a TV producer, played by Phil Silvers. So of course Ginger is second main actor in this show. I didn’t like the way this Hecuba character treated the castaways, more like they are lower than him instead …
Stargate SG-1: The Other Guys
The next season six episode is called The Other Guys, and it’s supposed to be somewhat of a comedy with the focus on a couple of geek scientists who attempt to rescue SG-1, who have apparently been abducted by a Goa’uld. Only, SG-1 doesn’t want to be rescued and …

Celebrity Apprentice - 2009 Episode 1
The Donald is back again for another season of Celebrity Apprentice, and it promises to be equally as weird as the first year, only this year, the women are made up of a lot of females I’ve never heard of, versus just a few of those last year.
When I …
Tru Calling — The Pilot
Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer such as myself were delighted to hear Faith/Eliza Dushku would be continuing to act in the supernatural genre of television. She had turned down her own spin off from Buffy just to do Tru Calling. The Pilot is where us fans were holding …
M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky
B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) becomes one of the masses instead of a lone devoted soul when he cheats on his wife in M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky from season five. While the resolution is okay, I always thought it was a shame that they had this story. It’s just …
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 …
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection is actually part two of the story that began in Prometheus the week before. However, they really aren’t connected in terms of the story. Prometheus was an avenue to get the ship in space and meet up with the Asgard.
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection …
How I Met Your Mother - Sorry, Bro
“Sorry, Bro” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. You know a show has hit its stride when it can be funny even in an episode consisting of the main characters sit around a table, drink beer, and tell …
That Girl: My Sister’s Keeper
One of the best shows of the entire That Girl series was this third season show called My Sister’s Keeper. I’ve remembered this episode from the very first time I saw it, and in fact, I remember some of the publicity from it when it originally aired.
The co-producer …

‘Say Yes to the Dress’ on TLC
Since I am getting married in a year I am addicted to watching any kind of wedding show on TV. Lately I love ‘Say Yes to the Dress’, even though it appears to be on reruns. I like seeing it from the point of view of the sales people …
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
I love to watch the television show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show stars Will Smith and it is absolutely hilarious. This show came out in the early 90s and I have been watching it since way back then. I use to watch it all the time …
Lifetime Channel
I will admit it! I love a good Lifetime movie. My roommates used to make fun of me when they would come home and find me on the couch watching Lifetime. You really can’t go wrong with a lazy day watching a corny, way too long, with dried up …
M*A*S*H: As You Were
M*A*S*H: As You Were was another one of the second season entries for this wonderful series that just didn’t really hit my funny bone very much. There’s one central bit that I like a lot and enjoy, but a lot of the little subplots don’t really do much, …
Cinemax
I can’t believe how much cinemax has changed. I used to have it and I glad I don’t pay for it anymore. I had it free over the weekend and I don’t see why anybody would pay for this channel anymore, especially not a high price for it. I …
Star Trek: The Changeling TV Show
Star Trek: The Changeling is another nifty show from the beginnings of this science fiction series. It’s a favorite that I never tire of seeing. Basically, what we have is the Enterprise encountering a highly sophisticated computer that calls itself Nomad. It’s a probe long thought …
Dark Blue (The TV Series)
Dark Blue is a serious series on the lives of deep undercover police officers, so deep that even their fellow cops do not know about it. I think the title is so appropriate considering that the series deals with the dark side of life. I can feel the tension …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Johnny Carson
Johnny Carson is the Man of the Week on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour, a special version of Dean’s variety show. It begins with a terrific zinger by Dean about Johnny’s marriages. What a great way to start out.

Two And A Half Men: Pinocchio’s Mouth
“Pinocchio’s Mouth” is the episode of Two And A Half Men on CBS originally airing on November 17, 2008. This was just an average episode with no really big laughs.
The overall premise was not all that funny. Basically, we know that Charlie is set in his ways. …
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. …

Family Guy - Season 9
For a show that got canceled twice before, Family Guy had been doing a great job in giving exactly what it had promised, 30 minutes of funny jokes and scenes where you ask yourself what movies they took that from. Yet, …
The O.C Series
The O.C. Is a top TV series and is one of my personal favourites. The O.C tells the life of the people in Orange County. The show is mainly based on the character of Ryan Atwood; a hopeless delinquent from a broken home, who ends up with a …
Due South: One Good Man
The action in Due South: One Good Man is mostly personal for Royal Canadian Mountie Benton Fraser. He lives in a poor area of Chicago and is trying to improve the living conditions of his run-down building. In doing so, he gets the attention of a developer, …
Burn Notice - “Bad Blood” episode
I’ve heard about “Burn Notice” that is airing on the USA Network, but I never caught a full episode until tonight, when Michael Shanks guest starred on the show for the first time. Michael is my second favorite actor of all time, so there was no way I …
CSI Season 6 Episode 21- Rashomama
The episode was intended to be really funny. And unlike, other episodes of that kind, this time, they have actually managed to make it funny. I enjoyed watching it very much.
In this episode, the team investigates the death of a well known defence attorney on her son’s wedding …
MacGyver: The Survivors
MacGyver: The Survivors is a wonderful episode for the fourth season of this action drama. In it, MacGyver has been spending the last two months taking field operatives on three-day survival tests. They either passed or would be reassigned to desk jobs. Mac’s tired of ending careers …

Columbo: A Case of Immunity TV Show
Unfortunately, Columbo: A Case of Immunity is one of those episodes that really doesn’t appeal to me. It guest stars Hector Elizondo as a foreign embassy worker, so he has diplomatic immunity; at least, on the surface. He’s a security worker who kills the security chief and …
M*A*S*H: Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen
Though filmed at the beginning of the season, the final episode of this groundbreaking, long running TV series was M*A*S*H: Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen. It attracted millions of viewers. I’m not sure if it’s still number one, but I think it is; if not, it’s still in …
M*A*S*H: Good-Bye Radar: Part 2
In contrast to Part 1 where I had qualms and concerns about how the story progressed, M*A*S*H: Good-Bye Radar: Part 2 is stellar as can be. After learning that his Uncle Ed has died, Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) prepares to go home on a hardship leave. Only …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Dead Men’s Doubloons TV Show

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Out of my Mind
Well, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Out of my Mind” wasn’t a great one but it did manage to give us some insight into where the series will be heading in the 5th season.
We learn two major things in this episode. First, Riley needs medical attention if …
Macross Plus Episode 2 (Anime)
Macross Plus Episode 2 begins with Sharron Apple’s concert and Isamu attends. His rivalry with Guld Goa Bowman increases as Guld grows closer to Myung Fang Lone.
This was an interesting episode. I enjoyed watching it and it was very entertaining, the fight scenes were very well done …
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus is one of the wildcards I’ve mentioned. I kind of like this one, even with the annoying constant smiling of Jonas Quinn.
Earth’s brand new spaceship, the Prometheus, is about ready for its trial run. That’s when four hijackers make their move, successfully gaining control …
