Jeremiah: The Complete First Season DVD set
Jeremiah: The Complete First Season is a nice DVD collection. The artwork is attractive with nice imaging of the series stars, Luke Perry and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. The set includes six disks. It’s presented like a book that opens out in both directions. You fold each …
Sea Hunt: The Catalyst TV Show
The Catalyst is the 32nd episode of Sea Hunt’s third season on the air, and it revolves around a man’s murder and his daughter’s quest to complete his latest project.
The show opened with the strange death of an inventor named Calvin. While under water, he was essentially put …
Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV Episode: Don’t Come Back Alive
I’ve had the Alfred Hitchcock song stuck in my head for the past couple of days for no apparent reason. So, I decided it must be a sign that I should start watching Alfred Hitchcock presents again and loaded it back into my Netflix Instant Watch Queue.
The baby had …
House, M.D.
I watch a lot of television, probably more than I should. But it is rare that I find a prime time program that piques my interest enough to stick with it. I had pretty much given up on trying to find a good show to watch and had resigned …
Season 2 Real Chance of Love
I am ashamed. But I will admit that I do watch VH1’s “Real Chance of Love” Season 2. This is just one of those programs that you say is really stupid. But you can’t help but to watch anyway. At any rate, these two …
Beast Wars - Law of the Jungle
Beast Wars - Law of the Jungle is an intriguing episode because it in part deals with the unintended consequences of war and how war sometimes claims the lives of the innocent. This is one of the first season’s more serious episodes and the material actually involves some light …
Mr. Bean TV series
I was able to watch a re-run of the show in the Disney Channel last week. It still made me laugh my heart out. But nothing compares to the first time that you’ve seen Mr. Bean do his crazy antics. I …
Birds of Prey episode 5: Sins of the Mother
One of the strangest things about this show was the direction that they took with Dinah. It hasn’t been “bad” exactly, just very bizarre. It seems like they could have just used Dinah in her more traditional Black Canary persona. This episode seems like it is …
South Park The Complete Third Season
The television show South Park follows the lives of 4 young boys growing up in the town of South Park, Colorado. This 3 disk DVD collection features the episodes that were originally aired from April of 1999 to January of 2000. Even though all 17 episodes in …
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Destroy Malevolence (episode 4)
This is the final episode in the trilogy about the spaceship Malevolence commanded by General Grievous. The episode’s name pretty much gives away what the storyline is about: the Jedi destroying the ship. The episode stars Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padme. General Grievous, of course, also has a large part.
The …
Scavo Family - Desperate Housewives
Scavo Family - Desperate Housewives is one of the most coolest family ever that I love to watch and I have been following closely the series episodes since Tom and Lynette’s children were young. The twins and another of their boy since young. Lynette and Tom have been …

“Skokie” is a made for TV movie about how the Jewish community -mostly survivors of the Holocaust- try to stop Neo Nazi’s from marching through their town of Skokie, Illinois. They fight in court with the Neo Nazi leader being represented by the ACLU and specifically a Jewish …
The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man
The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man has an interesting premise. Patrick McGoohan’s Number Six character wakes up to discover he is now Number Twelve, complete with a mustache (which doesn’t suit him at all, I might add). This is followed by the news that he’s supposed to switch …
Ghost Adventures TV Series
“Ghost Adventures” is a television series that airs from time to time on the American cable telvision channel the “Travel” Channel. I’m not exactly sure when the episodes air either, but I know there usually is a couple of them going on on Friday nights. I’ve never really followed …
The New Adventures of Old Christine Season 1
The first season of the New Adventures of Old Christine was a really funny one though not as funny as I remembered. It took me quite awhile to buy the season on DVD because it’s fairly expensive for 15 episodes that are less than 30 minutes long. When I …
Alias Smith and Jones: Never Trust an Honest Man
Alias Smith and Jones: Never Trust an Honest Man is not one of my big favorites, though I am happy that our two adorable ex-outlaws, Hannibal Heyes (Pete Duel) and Kid Curry (Ben Murphy), are together again, as it should be. The main thrust is that while traveling …
Fear the Walking Dead (Horror Drama Television Series)
AMC’s The Walking Dead has been one of my favourite television drama series for a few years now. However, while I do find the entire experience of Rick Grimes and his companions braving a zombie apocalypse riveting, that doesn’t mean the question of what happened before isn’t continuously hammering at …
Oprah’s Big Give TV Show
Oprah has a new TV show and no surprise it’s all about giving. The Talk show host who has become famous for giving away lots herself, is now challenging others to do the same.

Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 2
Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 2 makes the big transition official, but not until Jack has been unfrozen and the System Lords sent on their way.
The fun part of this episode is when Thor beams Daniel up to his ship, The Daniel Jackson. I adore that! Daniel …

A Man Called Hawk: Life After Death
A Man Called Hawk: Life After Death is the end of the line for this Spenser for Hire spin off starring Avery Brooks as the bald-headed avenger. The show best shows of the series were ones that included Angela Bassett in the cast. Bassett aside, though, the …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 9: The Impossible Planet
This episode was a vast, vast improvement over the last one. Where “The Idiot’s Lantern” fell flat, this one fired on all cylinders.
The Doctor and Rose find themselves on a drilling rig after the TARDIS experiences what the Doctor refers to as “indigestion”. Before they can investigate, …
The Twilight Zone Season One
Twilight Zone is famous for its interesting stories with a strange twist. Forest Whitaker hosts this six-disk set. I’m not sure what year these stories were filmed as the back of the box uses Roman numerals (MMII) but I think its from the 80s or 90s. The box set …
Home Improvement: Adios
Since there wasn’t anything really worth watching on TV yesterday afternoon, I ended up watching Home Improvement re-runs; including the one where Randy leaves the show to go to Costa Rica.
This was the first time I have seen this episode (though I have heard about it) and I have …
Doctor Who season 1 episode 7 The Long Game
This was one of the first episodes I really liked of this show. It was about the year 200,000 and the way the news were transmitted. They are all on a satellite and they receive news trough some kind a machine, they have some kind a chip installed …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Nightmare TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Nightmare was the 17th show of the series’ last season to air on television. From January 1968, it begins as a huge mystery. It actually reminds of an earlier show where Richard Basehart’s Admiral Nelson was pretty much on his …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Jonah and the Whale
The first episode of the second season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was a show entitled Jonah and the Whale, and it brings with it some big changes as well as some subtle alterations. First, the show began airing in color. What a difference …
Harper’s Island Episode 11
This is an episode definitely not to be missed. I am in shock definitely because there are more than one deaths, really. I lost count already. In Harper’s Island Episode 11, all of them already know that Wakefield is alive and he is now so intense in …
Chuck season 2 episode 4 Chuck Versus the Cougars
This was an episode that kind a wanted to present agent Sarah as a person with a past not just as this insensitive government agent. Unfortunately they couldn’t get me interested in her and I find the story kind a superficial.
We see a girl returning home and seeing police …
Legend: Skeletons in the Closet
Legend: Skeletons in the Closet is a sort of odd ending to the entire Legend series, which only survived for these twelve episodes. In my opinion, the show never really found itself. Some shows focused so much on Nicodemus Legend persona being an unwilling hero, but heroic …
David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet
I remember watching David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet and it was during those glamor days surrounding the hype of the movie Titanic. It was such a very good episode and Kate is such a good talker.
I love watching her on talk shows and interviews …
Gilligan’s Island - St. Gilligan and The Dragon TV Show
Here we have chaos again. Chaos everywhere. The Castaways split apart into two groups, women and men. The men think the women will learn a lesson of humility and that women should be subservient to men. This kind of made me a little upset the kind of mental thought …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 4
In this episode, Karl begins to act strangely and wants to leave the school. The others refer to it as the chill, but there is no other explanation. Karl is acting out, screaming and tearing things apart; not only does he want to leave the school, but he wants …
A Christmas Tree cartoon
This cartoon, A Christmas Tree, is actually a translated title of a Russian cartoon made in 1959. It actually amazed me, considering the time in which it was made. I found it to be a warm, loving film about a young boy whose father was working in …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Fountain of Youth
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Fountain of Youth gives John Bly haters a chance to smile. Or does it? That’s a question that we’ll have to wait and see, but the fun part is watching Bly be foiled, right when he thinks he’s about to get …
Cowboy Bebop episode 14
Imagine a world where every thing is black and white. A world where everything has rules that it can never defy. A lonely stark world, very much in contrast to our own world. This is the world where kings and queens still rule, even if the world beyond has …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A New Man
Hey, look at this. Another Buffy the Vampire Slayer season and another episode revolving around her (19th) birthday. Doesn’t anyone else have a birthday on the show?
Once again, we also have to have some sort of problem going on during her birthday celebration. Seriously, can’t the girl just have …
John Doe: Remote Control TV show
John Doe: Remote Control has John (Dominic Purcell) helping Digger (William Forsythe) find out what happened to his blood brother, who supposedly died in an auto accident. There would seem to be more to it since John temporarily sees the brother in color, not to mention a Special Forces …
Project Runway: The Sky is the Limit
Well, last night’s Project Runway challenge was kind of cool. The designers had to work in teams of two to make an outfit. Their only requirement is it had to be blue and it had to fit Macy’s Inc. line.
The winner would have their outfit sold by Macy’s, which …
Rozerem (TV ad)
While watching television, I happened upon a commercial where a man is seated at his kitchen table with Abraham Lincoln, and what looks to be a groundhog, but is actually a beaver. In the rear, facing the sink (presumably washing dishes) is what looks like an astronaut. …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Girl in Boxcar #3
Alias Smith and Jones: The Girl in Boxcar #3 has some drama and poignancy to it, and while I enjoy it, it also is the first show that has Hannibal Heyes (Pete Duel) and Kid Curry (Ben Murphy) apart for much of the time. This serves to allow …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 17: Sea Fright
This episode was a blast to watch. Oddly enough, the Ghostbusters themselves take a backseat. They’re pretty much along for the ride as a crew of ghost pirates, or were they pirate ghosts? What was the difference again? Whatever, the ghost crew arrives in New York …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 3, Episode 2: The Headband
The group steals some fire nation clothes so that they can fit in without having to resort to hiding in caves all the time. By and large, the plan works rather well, except that Aang gets mistaken for a student playing hookie and is enrolled in school.
Sokka’s skeptical, …
Smallville Season 7 episode 7
I enjoyed this episode. The story was that Clark and Lana are together when lightning strikes and Clark’s powers are transferred to Lana. Clark still has his powers and now so does Lana.
The episode started of kind of funny watching Lana giddy with joy at moving at …
The Simpson’s: The Regina Monologues
Last night was one of what I feel is one of the better Simpson’s travel episodes; The Regina Monologues.
In this episode, Bart finds $1,000 and, after a series of events that include Mr. Burns trying to recover the money (which he originally lost) the Simpson family eventually decides to …
