Stargate SG-1: Serpent’s Song is an interesting entry in the SG-1 second season. Peter Williams returns as Apophis, seeking asylum from the Tau’ri of all people. Unable to leave the injured Goa’uld behind, SG-1 brings him back to Earth. Then things really start to heat up, …

Normally, I like pretty much everything my daughter is exposed to on Nick. However, their addition of the show Back at the Barnyard is an insult to parents everywhere.
There is nothing worthwhile about that show. The jokes are 100 times cruder than some “adult” cartoons on television and I …

Stargate SG-1: Allegiance is one of the more tolerable season six entries of this show. The premise is the somewhat tentative alliance between the Jaffa and Tok’ra, all of whom are given refuge on a planet at the same time. It’s up to Jack to keep things …

I was bored this past weekend waiting for my wife and oldest daughter to get home from the store (the baby was sleeping on my lap so I couldn’t do anything constructive). Because of this, I ended up watching some TV and came across a re-run of the show …

I’ve always loved the Law and Order franchise, and SVU or Special Victims Unit in particular. One of their best seasons has to be season 5. I purchased the set on DVD when it was first released, and make it a habit to re-watch the season again at least …

This episode marks the return of Coldstone, once again voiced by Michael Dorn. Anything that has the voicework of Dorn and Keith David can’t be bad.
This show has been of stellar quality from the get go and this episode is no different. The buildup to Coldstone’s schizophrenic breakdown …

I have this fascination with extreme living conditions—”that is, homes that are either extremely strange or extremely expensive (or both.) This program on the Travel Channel focused on the bathrooms around the world that have some kind of weird conditions. For instance, at a Japanese steak …

In M*A*S*H: Blood and Guts, the personnel of the 4077th are excited to meet U.N. correspondent Clayton Kibbee, played jovially by Gene Evans. Kibbee is there to write about blood donations and such. At first, even Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is pleased to meet him. Evans …

M*A*S*H: That Darn Kid is the final episode of season 10 and it’s a comedy focused one, unlike the previous season’s rather downbeat episode. For the second time during the series, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is paymaster, a job he doesn’t look forward to at all.
Just when Hawkeye’s …

Amanda Price is a young woman living in modern day London who has been an ardent fan of Jane Austin’s novel,Pride and Prejudice,since she was twelve years old. She is sick of her the modern world,her job,and her lout of a boyfriend and yearns for the elegance and …

The First Cut is the Deepest is the second episode for season 1 of Grey’s Anatomy. For this week, the gist of the story would talk about lines like the finish line at the end of the residency, the line separating personal life with work and the most important …

This two parter introduced us to many new characters at SG1 while losing Richard Dean Anderson as General O’Neill. Even though he made a cameo during these episodes, it was not the same as having him around full time.
Viewers got to meet Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell played by …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Secret of the Deep, episode 19 from season 4, aired in February 1968 and guest starred Peter Mark Richman as John Hendrix. He’s supposed to be an intelligence officer this time around (he’s been on the show before in another role). …

From November 1956, Highway Patrol: Typhoid Carrier has Chief Dan Mathews (Broderick Crawford) and his California Highway Patrol dealing with a potential outbreak of typhoid in the small community of Indian Valley. The problem is a man who is a known carrier of the disease. Frightened when …

I have to say, even though later episodes of House have been kind of weak lately, the one last night, “The Social Contract” was actually pretty good.
This one had a patient who had some sort of disease that caused him to say whatever he was thinking, regardless of whether …

I am very into pop culture. It’s my guilty pleasure. I secretly buy the glossy magazines and I watch all kinds of entertainment news. For a long time now I’ve been watching The Soup. First off, I have to admit that I have a serious crush on Joel …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Great Mojave Chase, episode 3 of season 1, starts out with some fun humor, all stemming from Paladine buying a camel to take across the Mojave Desert. It creates quite a stir. Written by Gene Roddenberry, the best part was the …

The only reason I prefer Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Descent”, Part Two over part one is mainly because part two has more action. The story still makes very little sense, but at least there is some action to the story. The action I am referring to takes …

The episode follows the two brothers as they investigate the death of a 25 year old man who died of old age. They consult Bobby, who’s shown to be more irritable than usual.
It’s discovered that a warlock turned poker shark is gambling with years of people’s …

CSI Miami comes on every Monday at 9pm. While I didn’t begin watching the show until later into its run, it became one of my favorites rather quickly. Watching the show can be confusing even if you don’t miss an episode though. I don’t know why but sometimes figuring out …

Adam-12: Wednesday Warrior is the final episode of the fourth season for this wonderful police drama which stars Martin Milner and Kent McCord as Officers Pete Malloy and Jim Reed. Gary Crosby returns as Officer Ed Wells, and he has an important role in this outing. It …

I wasn’t sure what to expect from tonight’s Monk episode “Mr. Monk on Wheels.” After all, getting a detective with all sorts of emotional problems shot while on a case has a lot of ways the episode could go and not all of them are good ones.
However, tonight’s episode …

I’m not really very familiar with Plastic Man. I always think that the episodes with him involved are going to be sub-par but they usually turn out to be rather enjoyable.
With villains who have names like Kite-Man and Rubberneck, my expectations were pretty low, but they …

Okay, we’re starting to hit bottom with The Twilight Zone: A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain, a show that really pushes the button, not just on belief, but on storytelling. I don’t like it. I won’t go as far as to say it bores me, but …

A former Navy Seal, Jack Curtain, breaks out of Leavenworth and into a couple’s home. We think he is going to rape the woman but instead, he ends up stealing the husband’s clothes, changing and leaving through a window.
Gibbs and his team start out the case …

I think that this is one of the grossest episodes of the popular 1990s television show “The X-Files” which I have watched. In fact, there is a huge possibility that this might actually be the nastiest I have ever watched as well, and the strangest thing about it too …

This might be the best episode this season. We get the return of Phantom Limb, who has apparently gone quite mad since we last saw him. He’s even gone so far as to enlist a shoe, a toaster, and a coffee mug into his “revenge society”.
The …

This episode presents a dilemma that even the Doctor admits is going to be tricky. It seems the TARDIS crew is bouncing back and forth between two realities, one in which they are all on the TARDIS and another where five years have past and Amy is pregnant. …

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 …

I have watched pretty much every Simpsons Tree House of Horrors episode since the first one and have been very disappointed with some of the more recent episodes. My biggest complaint is they often use some sort of movie spoof of a film that isn’t even a horror movie …

The television series known as Family Guy has proven itself to be one of the best cartoon series that is around today. Not taking anything away from the other cartoon series, but this one is more additive than so many others it is ridiculous. The characters of the Family …

I’m not really sure what to say about The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Crowd. I’ve watched it a couple of times now trying to enjoy it or at least get through it feeling entertained, but I’ve been unsuccessful.
Maybe this story is just over my head because I just …

After hearing so many people talk about it, and seeing that it was on Netflix’s instant watch, I decided to finally check out Dr. Who. I managed to catch an episode on BBC a while back and it piqued my interest, so I decided to start from the …

Basketball great Wilt Chamberlain was the Man of the Week for this outing of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour, an event that is often sold as The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts.
Another basketball player of the day, Happy Hairston, was one of the roasters. He actually had some good …

I really enjoy watching the History Channel’s Ice Road Truckers series, especially this season. I think one of the reasons is that there is a little less emphasis on Hugh Rowland, known as the polar bear. His ridiculous and near constant use of profanity just turns me …

I have only seen the first part of the Simpsons episode Million Dollar Abie so I was glad to be able to watch the entire thing yesterday afternoon. It turned out to be pretty good.
Basically, in this episode, Springfield has a chance to land an NFL team (despite the …

Columbo: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Season DVD set is comprised of three DVDs, just like earlier seasons. Consumers need to remember that Columbo was part of the Mystery Movie lineup and tended to air just once a month during a season. As time passed, even that …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Comanche is a very odd show in some ways. It’s a love story, an adventure tale, and a tribute, all in one half-hour episode. Yet, the connection is somewhat questionable. Actually, I’m not sure whether I like the story or not.
Comanche …

Devoted to those of the 30’s and 40’s and filmed in 2006, Private Screenings: Child Stars was a wonderful discussion about a long ago era. Hosted by Robert Osbourne, this Turner Classic Movies’ special featured our guests — Margaret O’Brien, Jane Withers, Dickie Moore, and Darryl Hickman.
This discussion …

This is one of the funniest episodes of Season 3.
It opens rather ominously with Gordon (happily in prison) telling a fellow hunter Kubrick that ‘Sam Winchester must die’ and the hunter agreeing to help track Sam down.
Sam & Dead get a call to tell them that someone has broken …

I don’t know, I just can’t get enthused about the show Ghost Hunters any more.
I’ve been practically begging them to go back to investigating private residences and they finally did last night. But, once again, they had a pretty limited amount of evidence. I think the only substantial thing …

Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 1 begins with two brothers, Edward and Alphonse, performing a ceremony involving a transmutation circle. We hear an explanation of Alchemy and then we see that it backfired and that Ed is hurt and Al has disappeared, it cuts to four years later when Ed …

Synopsis: ADA Cabott needs testimony from a teenaged boy in order to convict the man who raped him and apparently several others. However, her case is thrown into jeopardy when the boy tries to kill himself and ends up in a coma.
What I liked about this episode: The thing …

When I first heard about H20 - Just Add Water I was quite excited. A series about mermaids? I love mermaids, I also loved that the show was an Australian one.
H20 is into it’s third season now and I must admit the first season was a bit …

The Food Network is one of my favorite channels and when you combine food with travel, it is a double whammy of entertainment. In $40 a Day, Rachel Ray takes us around the world to some of the hottest tourist spots - the Florida Keys, LA, Miami, Paris, Rome, …

That Girl: Phantom of the Horse Opera is a really interesting show that features Sterling Holloway as Everett Valentine. Valentine used to play the organ when silent pictures ran in theaters. He provided the musical accompaniment.
When the show opens, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) can’t sleep because she …

I never would have thought it in a thousand years, but I really enjoying this new cooking show that is part of the new Hallmark Channel Home block of daytime programming. It’s called Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn and its September 15, 2010 episode was its …

Spongebob and Patrick are enjoying a beautiful afternoon outside blowing bubbles to each other. They think it is a lot of fun, and every time that they blow a bubble to each other, they send a little message to the other person. While this is going on, …

Another crazy idea, but an entertaining episode is how I’d describe Stargate SG-1: Fail Safe from season five. The team is together for the entire episode, and that’s something I treasure.
Basically, Stargate SG-1: Fail Safe is the movie Armageddon. SG-1 works fast to try and deflect an …

Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 20 has Tougasa remembering something about the Laughing Man logo and Section 9 investigates a new lead in the case.
I liked this episode because it had plenty of surprises, the twists keep getting better and better and the story is so …
