The Simpsons TV Episode: The City of New York versus Homer Simpson
Last night, I was watching a re-run of the Simpsons and was thrilled to learn it was one of my favorites; The City of New York versus Homer Simpson.
This is easily one of the funniest episodes from this series. Homer and his buddies are drinking after work and Barney …
Adam-12: The Ferret
Adam-12: The Ferret includes one of those terribly sad stories where ignorance results in tragedy. In this case, a couple’s child is born dead after eating clay based on the recommendation of man who claims to be a reverend, but really is a believer in some very bad …
Stargate SG1: The Curse
Jack is reading a magazine when Daniel walks in and after looking at it, takes it away from him. Seems Daniel’s mentor and professor has died. This episode revolves around Daniel going back to his old stomping grounds and meeting up with two old colleagues of his, …
The Twilight Zone: The Purple Testament TV Show
I have to admit from the top that even though the acting is very good in The Twilight Zone: The Purple Testament, it’s just not a show I enjoy. I’m not sure why, but I think it’s the story and its disturbing qualities that get to me. …
CSI Season 7
CSI Season Seven is one of the good seasons, but I didn’t get to see it until I bought the DVD set. Usually I don’t watch CSI because it’s on the same time as one of my favorite shows. I like CSI, but I like the other show better. …
Jeremiah: Journeys End in Lovers Meeting
Jeremiah: Journeys End in Lovers Meeting was a little different in theme, and I rather enjoyed it because it dealt with belief. Belief isn’t tangible; it’s deep inside, part of the heart and soul. If you believe, you understand, and those who don’t believe always seek proof.
Kurdy …
Friends Episode: Halloween
I love Friends Episode: Halloween very much. In fact, this is one of my most favorite episodes ever. It is not about the celebration or the significance of it, because I respect all religion and their traditions, but it’s just that yet again, the beloved Friends make a …
Junior Apprentice Episode 2 TV Show
Junior Apprentice Episode 2 continued the process where Lord Alan Sugar would be selecting a junior apprentice. Now the pool is comprised of teenagers seeking a prize of 25,000 pounds that would be overseen by Lord Sugar to ensure the young entrepreneurs don’t waste the funds on some …
Family Guy
I adore Family Guy. Who doesn’t ? The writers get my sense of humor. It’s something I can actually laugh at and I’m a hard person to make laugh. I love how Peter will say something so random and it’s just funny. I like the story line with the …
The Andy Griffith Show TV Episode: Mayberry on Record
Like I mentioned in another review, I was home with the kids yesterday and, while rocking my youngest daughter to sleep, I found myself watching some episodes of the Andy Griffith Show.
One of these episodes, entitled “Mayberry on Record,” wasn’t too bad.
This one had a man coming to Mayberry …
Forensic Files show
TruTV really has a lot of crime shows that I enjoy. Forensic Files is one of those shows that focuses heavily on the CSI aspect of criminal cases. I will say that I like the fact that producers give the viewers a lot of background information. …
Hell Date (BET TV show)
I watched this show a little while ago and was kind of interested. At first I didn’t realize that it was actually a prank show. The daters (usually the women) are actually actresses hired by BET to make the dates unbearable. The dates can take all …
M*A*S*H: Fade Out, Fade In
Season 6 begins with the fading out of Major Frank Burns and the fading in of Major Charles Winchester in M*A*S*H: Fade Out, Fade In. There really just wasn’t any use of the Burns character anymore.
For the entire stint of the show, Frank had been a bumbling, cowardly …
Vikings (TV series)
One of my favourite television series as of late is “Vikings”. It’a almost completely unexpected too, since while I’ve been hearing about how good it was since 2013, I just never thought that I would enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy Game of Thrones. As it turns out …
Jeremiah: Mother of Invention
Is there a little Jeremiah out there in the world? That’s something that Jeremiah: Mother of Invention tackles when the title character meets up with an old flame, Michelle, who just happens to have a cute little boy that resembles Jeremiah and fits the age track. The …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 11: Citizen Ghost
After an episode that made direct reference to the “Ghostbusters” movie, it is only natural that they make an episode to show what happened between the battle with Gozer and the present. The episode is shown in flashback as a reporter interviews Peter as part of a story …
Smallville Season 7 episode 9
This episode of Smallville like most of them started out on a light hearted note that went sour. It’s Christmas and instead of celebrating the gang are trying to stop a bomb that’s strapped to Chloe exploding.
For me some parts of this episode were boring. Lois is …
That Girl: The Mating Game
The classic game show, The Dating Game, is homaged in the final episode of the first season of That Girl. Called The Mating Game, Don Hollinger decides to do a story on the popular dating show and he wants to use Ann Marie as his guinea pig, though …
The X-Files Lazarus Episode
This is another one of what I think was one of my 30 favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties American television series “The X-Files”. This is because deals with the whole belief of out of body experiences and whether or not the human body possesses a soul. In …
Stargate SG-1: Rite of Passage
Stargate SG-1: Rite of Passage from the fifth season brings back the character of Cassandra, the alien child from season one’s Singularity, who was adopted by Doctor Janet Fraiser. While I love seeing Cassandra in a new episode, the original actress was unavailable and they chose to recast …
Tila Tequila
Even though I am quite an anti-fan of Tila Tequila, I began watching her “Shot at Love” show with somewhat of an open mind.The first
few episodes revealed that her search for love was bisexual, and involved male and female contestants. After watching this and the “competitions”
involved, I decided I …
Super Mario World - Born To Ride
Super Mario World - “Born To Ride” is an episode that focuses primarily on Yoshi. The writers have been placing plenty of emphasis on the character, with this being his third episode of heavy focus out of a total of seven, probably because at the time, Yoshi was a …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy versus Dracula
I finally got around to watching the 5th season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer today; starting with the first episode, Buffy versus Dracula.
It wasn’t a bad episode but not quite as good as I expected it to be.
As you can guess by the title, Buffy gets to face the …
Models of the Runway: That’s a Wrap
Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect with the final episode of Models of the Runway considering it came on after the Project Runway finale and we already knew who the winner was. I figured it would be a wrap up episode where they showed her at her modeling …
Remington Steele: Tempered Steele TV Show
From October 1982, Remington Steele: : Tempered Steele is the second outing for this show, and it begins with Steele running up a huge tab which annoys Laura Holt big time.
An electronics company hires the agency to discover who is stealing their research. After Mr. Steele blows all Ms. …
Wagon Train: A Man Called Horse
I have to say I was totally surprised by Wagon Train: A Man Called Horse and not in a good way. The main part of my shock is the main guest star, Ralph Meeker. I don’t know much about Meeker, but I’d always heard he was a …
Waterloo Road BBC One programme
I just love this programme and I am eagerly awaiting to hear whether it is back on again this Autumn. Normally the new series starts about this time, and I have watched every series since the beginning.
Not only do I really enjoy this programme so does my son. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Hobson’s Choice TV Show
Hobson’s Choice was an episode of Have Gun - Will Travel that aired towards the end of the fifth season, in April 1962. It was oddly entertaining, and I say that it was odd because it uses a very well known real life person and then proceeds to …
Palmer Hollow Milk Chocolate Rabbit
We see them every year at Easter time — chocolate bunnies, some stuffed and some not. Many companies make them, one of which is Palmer. The Palmer Hollow Milk Chocolate Rabbit looks adorable. It’s in a pretty box that is alluringly printed with colorful rabbits to …
The Good Wife: VIP Treatment TV Show
This hour of The Good Wife, titled VIP Treatment, was interesting because it was self contained in many ways, which honestly surprised me. There was actually not all that much of Julianna Margulies in my opinion. I felt like the concentration of the camera was more on …
CSI Season 1 Episode 9 Unfriendly Skies
This episode investigates only one case, but it is extra intense. This time the crime scene is in the first class on a plane. They only have 24 hours to solve the case before the FBI takes over the case and the crime scene “flies away.” What makes the …
Law & Order SVU: Anchor
Last night’s Law & Order SVU episode was one that was definitely designed to get you angry. The episode, entitled Anchor, involved Fin investigating a series of child murders in New York that are tied to the fact they are the children of illegal immigrants born in the country, …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Frankendoodle
Synopsis: Spongebob and Patrick end up with a “magical” pencil that brings anything they draw with it to life. They think it is great, until Spongebob draws himself and his new character steals the pencil and starts using it for evil purposes.
What I liked about this episode: At first, …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Frozen in Fear
Synopsis: The TAPS team investigates a northern Michigan resort (which is deserted as a result of it being the off-season) in an effort to hunt down the spirit of a college student who reportedly killed himself when he proposed to his girlfriend and was turned down.
What I liked about …
Ghost Hunters: Garden State Ghosts
Whenever the TAPS team ends up in New Jersey, it is almost always going to be a disappointment. The cases in the Garden State Ghosts episode weren’t much different.
They visited two places, an old mill and the proprietary house that once housed a royal governor. The highlight of both …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Perfect Female TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Perfect Female is a delightful show. First, this is a good time to mention that one of the changes from this comedy series’ premier season on TV and this second year is that Elinor Donahue, who had played Andy’s girlfriend Ellie Walker, left …
Stargate SG-1: The Tomb
The early season five episodes of Stargate SG-1 had so many neat episodes, including this one called The Tomb. It’s a keeper from the get-go, with Jack being his usual impatient self while Daniel tries to decipher the way into a ziggurat.
Stargate SG-1: The Tomb has SG-1 teamed …
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 2
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 2 continues where the first part left off, and in this episode, despite the best efforts of Airazor and Tigertron, it is Blackarachnia that reaches the structure on the floating island first and begins to explore it. She begins to realize the potential …
The Twilight Zone: Night Call TV Show
From February 1964, veteran actress Gladys Cooper portrays an elderly and lonely woman, Elva Keene, in The Twilight Zone: Night Call. The half hour is mostly Cooper’s. In this show, she’s a little crotchety, a characteristic derived from decades of living alone and having never married. …
That 70s Show: Baby Fever
We were waiting for the Simpsons to come on last night and ended up watching a re-run of That 70s Show; the one entitled Baby Fever.
This was actually a cute episode. Kitty and Red agree to watch one of their friend’s baby (even though they end up dumping the …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Pandora’s Box TV Show
From May 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Pandora’s Box was the 35th show of the fifth season for this Richard Boone western series. This outing had some politics to it and those aren’t usually shows I enjoy that much. Basically, Paladin (Boone) is asked to bring …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Q Who?
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Q Who? is a season two episode and is, I feel, one of the series’ best episodes and one of the greatest Star Trek episodes ever made. What makes this episode so enjoyable? Well, for one, it conveys the dangers of the unknown …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 1: The Christmas Invasion
So begins the era of Tennant. The guy had pretty big shoes to fill as Eccleston’s portrayal of the Doctor was highly praised (and rightfully so). Unfortunately, he spends a majority of the episode unconscious so it isn’t until the third act that we really get to …
Special Victims Unit: Lead
I only caught bits and pieces of last night’s Law & Order SVU episode “Lead” but I got to see enough of it to be glad I didn’t sit down through the whole thing.
Yes, they brought back former ADA Alex Cabott back for the episode (and hopefully for good) …
Wagon Train: The Link Cheney Story
Charles Drake is the main guest star in Wagon Train: The Link Cheney Story, a seventh season entry of this great western television series. Drake is an affable sort to watch. He pulls off bad guys and good guys with ease. Here, he’s a master poker …
Centennial: The Storm
As an epic mini-series, Centennial is tops. It’s just brilliant. At the same time, there are a couple of episodes in the middle that, while still dynamic and full of flavor, aren’t really my favorites. The Storm is another outing that is very good, but just …
The Fall Guy: No Way Out TV Show
From January 1982, The Fall Guy: No Way Out had a fairly good opening sequence. Though the main story is always about Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) chasing down some bail jumper, we most always get a fun stunt segment to remind us that he’s normally a stunt man.
In …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 57: Janine’s Day Off
Janine finally gets some vacation time, and uses it to bring Egon to meet her folks. I know that she’s crushing on Egon, but this seems to imply that they are in a bona fide relationship. Egon even says that he’s not ready to meet her folks. …
Stargate Atlantis 520 - Enemy at the Gate
After five seasons, the Scifi Channel canceled the long running original series „Stargate Atlantis”. Because of that decision season five finale became at the same time the series final episode. With the possibility for movies, the writers had a difficult task of writing an episode that would give enough …
