The Cleaner: Pilot
Out of boredom recently, I noticed that the entire first season of The Cleaner was available ‘on demand’ of my cable company. I’ve never watched the show,nor had any real inclination to turn it on, but I have seen the advertising about the start of its upcoming second …
Supergirl episode 4: Livewire, TV show
From the first 6 episodes aired so far, “Livewire” was my highlight episode because a) Helen Slater as Eliza Danvers (Kara’s adopted mom) makes for a longer appearance b) Dean Cain (seen in flashbacks) c) we finally get more glimpses into Cat Grant’s (Kara’s boss) personality, and d)Eliza and …
The Office: Frame Toby
“Frame Toby” is the Office episode originally airing on November 20, 2008. This was an unusually weak episode, with few laugh-out-loud moments and central characters acting in very odd ways.
My biggest complaint was the way Michael acted throughout the episode. We all understand that he hates Toby, …
Laramie: The Lawless Seven TV Show
Laramie: The Lawless Seven has always been one of my favorite episodes. I just love the drama, the characters, the action, and the hint of romance that exists within the hour of this exciting western TV series. The focus in this particular episode is on Robert Fuller’s …
M*A*S*H: What’s Up, Doc?
M*A*S*H: What’s Up, Doc? is remembered most for me because of the threat to one of Radar O’Reilly’s pet bunnies. Hawkeye and Margaret want to conduct a pregnancy test, and at first, they don’t care that doing that test would result in the death of Radar’s Fluffy.
The thing …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Quiet Night in Town: Part 1 TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Quiet Night in Town: Part 1 opened a little differently than most other shows. It had what I call a gambit. That’s a word extracted from MacGyver, which in its opening year had a gambit that started several of the episodes. …
Crime 360 show
I myself love the little mystery shows. I really don’t know why or how, but they grab & keep my attention. But one show that keeps me interested in it is Crime 360; this show is so educational, & so amazing. I never knew about what …
MacGyver: Pirates
MacGyver: Pirates has some fun stuff in it. Actually the best part for me was when MacGyver was trapped on a sinking boat and had to try and get out before drowning. It was quite a challenge and made for an exciting scene.
There’s a good cast providing …
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 5
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 5 begins with Tony Robbins helping out John Rodriguez, a man who lost his wife after she was killed in a random shooting and John became depressed and homeless.
I liked this episode a lot because John learned that he can do things, even if …
Finding Judas
Every time I watch House, there’s a twist or turn that makes me want to tune in the next week.
Last night’s episode “Finding Judas” is the perfect example of that. House’s colleagues are being blackmailed into testifying against him and you can just feel the tension.
I also got a …
Project Runway
I absolutely love this show! I’m not a fashion diva by any means. I hardly know anything about real fashion. I wear jeans and sneakers most every day. I can still tell what I like and think looks good though!
The designers on the show are all different, with …
Butt Ugly Martians
WHen I was younger and still had not graduated high school, my younger brother would watch cartoons on Saturday mornings and after a while one of those cartoons I noticed was a show named “Butt Ugly Martians”. The first time I heard of it was when I saw him …

Teen Wolf: Season 2 TV show
My girlfriend was bored a few weeks back, and she found herself perusing Netflix for a movie to stream. She stumbled upon the television program Teen Wolf, and our two week addiction ensued.

Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion
I was able to watch a bit of TV at lunch today and put on a re-run of the show Monk; Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion.
It had been a while since I saw this episode and I have to say it was definitely entertaining.
Basically, Monk returns to his …

South Park: Dead Celebrities
South Park likes to be up to date as far as the stories they cover in their episodes, and this episode seems to take it up a notch. The episode revolves around Ike seeing dead celebrities, and the ghost of Michael Jackson possessing him. It satires the fact that …
CSI Season 12 Episode 8 (TV Series)
I enjoyed episode 8 of season 12 of CSI very much. I thought that it was a very thought-out and well constructed episode. As far as I see it, it could have been made into a very good movie. The cases were very original and you couldn’t guess who …
Eastwick
Eastwick is a new show that airs on ABC in the evening. It started this fall 09. The premiere episode focused on 3 separate women. These women all grew up and live in the same time but had not been friends until one fateful day.
All three, feeling unfulfilled …
The Second Leaders’ Debate, UK general election campaign 2010
The second of the live leaders’ debates to be held during this year’s U.K. general election campaign was, I thought, less of an interesting affair than the first one, and not only because that first debate had had the obvious advantage of being something of a novelty. This time …
Star Trek: Mudd’s Passion TV Show
Star Trek: Mudd’s Passion is another one of the 1973 animated TV series that follows up on the actions of a show from the original live action show. In this case, I, Mudd, which was the second episode to include the character of Harcourt Fenton Mudd. Played …
Justice League - Tabula Rasa, Part Two
Justice League - “Tabula Rasa”, Part Two builds upon what was established in the first part and allows the story to reach its full potential. The action in this episode is top-notch thanks to the fluid and detailed animation and the clever use of the city as battlefield against …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: There Was an Old Woman TV Show
Mary Morris plays Matilda in The Ray Bradbury Theater: There Was an Old Woman. She has a visitor who just sits there and listens as she talks and talks, telling him some story about a little girl named Emily. As I listened, I wonder if this was …
Mod Squad: The Teeth of the Barracuda TV Show
Mod Squad: The Teeth of the Barracuda is the pilot to this classic police drama about three young undercover cops. The idea is that being young and hip, no one would think they were cops. All had been in trouble when asked to join the police force …
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 …
Buck Rogers - The Fighting 69th
This episode used to freak me out as a little kid mainly because the disfigured villains were so cruel and their attempts to kill everyone on earth with nerve gas paled in comparison to their tormenting of a deaf girl and their attempt to set Buck Rogers on fire! …
Orchestra United: Episode 4 TV Show
This is the big moment, the big show, for Orchestra United. It’s just the fourth episode, but apparently, that’s all there is. I’m just stunned that an entire year has gone by since 75 high schoolers were brought together to form the band. For that, we’ve …
Star Trek the Next Generation TV Episodes: Survivors
I haven’t watch the show Star Trek the Next Generation in a long while. But, there was nothing better on TV tonight so I ended up watching an episode of it; Survivors.
This proved to be a pretty decent episode. The Enterprise comes across a planet that has been devastated …

Well, that was an episode of the Simpsons I haven’t seen before; The Debarted, and it was actually kind of interesting.

Family Feud
I haven’t seen the game show Family Feud in ages so, when I watched it last night, I wasn’t sure if I was watching a brand new episode or a repeat.
In any case, it turned out to be an entertaining way to spend a half hour.
The game itself was …
Family Guy 8×08: Dog Gone
Family Guy continues its eighth run with this Brian focused episode, “Dog Gone” a pretty standard tale of Brian at odds with the world that doesn’t really deliver too many laughs, but proves a funny enough outing in this largely mediocre eighth season.
When Brian hears his novel “Faster …
Project Runway Finale, Part 1
Well, just one more episode of Project Runway left since they got through part 1 of the two part season finale.
This episode wasn’t much of a surprise really. Most of the stuff that happened was already revealed in previews; such as the part where Carol Hannah catches a stomach …
“Raising Hope” Tv Show Blue Dots Episode # 8
It is really hard to describe how much I love this show. Take all taboo subjects and put them in a hilarious episode and you come close to describing this show. This episode in particular was super funny because it was taboo.
Jimmy’s mom, Victoria who is Hope’s …
Mr. Monk & the Psychic
Well, another season one Monk episode and another happy fan. Mr. Monk & the Psychic is an episode that manages to show everything that is or at least was good about the show before they started messing with the format a bit.
You have a woman being murdered by her …
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 …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Best of Enemies
What can I say about Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Best of Enemies? Not much that is good, that’s for sure. This adventure series continues to be sub-par. Star Bruce Boxleitner didn’t have enough sparkle to keep the show dazzling along, and the co-stars were almost …
Ghost Hunters Academy: Web of Deceit
I really wasn’t sure what to think of the new show Ghost Hunters Academy. I like Ghost Hunters, but you can have too much of a good thing. I did give it a chance last night though and did watch the first episode; Web of Deceit.
It was an OK …
Top of the Hill: Accurate But Not True TV Show
William Katt burst onto the TV scene as The Greatest American Hero. Surviving that, he signed on to play Paul Drake Jr. in new Perry Mason movies, working with his mother, Barbara Hale. He left that gig to star in this political drama called Top of the …
Make Me a Supermodel (Bravo)
Modeling shows are fascinating to me because I like to see regular people showcasing their ability to become really fashionable. And I think that a lot of people have the potential to be great models. So in that sense, these reality shows are quite helpful. …
MacGyver: The Gauntlet
MacGyver: The Gauntlet is another episode with lots of action in it. MacGyver is once again sent overseas, to South America, to rescue a photographer, played by Robin Curtis. She’s got the goods on a couple of bad guys, and they know it. Hence, the big …
Tell Me You Love Me (HBO TV Series, 2007)
I had never heard of this series before and decided to check it out on Netflix. I was really apprehensive at first, wondering whether I would enjoy something that clearly seemed like a silly chick series. I have learned from experience that the erotic chick series has …
Freaks and Geeks TV show
Since there’s a shortage of TV shows right now, being that it’s summer and all, I decided to look up some DVDs of old series that I haven’t watch and giving them a try. I’m a big fan of the show How I Met Your Mother, especially Jason Segel …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest TV Show
While the concept of The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest has its humorous elements, at the same time it’s a bit strange. The strangeness is not because of the contest happening, but the makeup of the contestants. There’s no guideline. Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) ends …
Beast Wars - Call of the Wild
Beast Wars - Call of the Wild is an episode that I found a little on the boring side even though the basic concept is an interesting one: what would happen if the Maximals were forced to stay in beast mode for an extended period of time? Apparently, according …
Star Trek: Where No Man Has Gone Before TV Show
Though it didn’t air first, this show was the first one completed after The Cage. In essence, it was the second pilot for Star Trek. It has a very appropriate title, too — Where No Man Has Gone Before. It has some terrific guest star power, …
