Star Trek: Beyond the Farthest Star TV Show
Star Trek: Beyond the Farthest Star is the first of the animated Star Trek episodes produced in 1973. It takes a little getting used to, seeing the quirks of the animated series, as in more animated characters from other species, but the essence of Trek is still there.
The …
Two And A Half Men: The Flavin’ And The Mavin’
“The Flavin’ And The Mavin’” was a decent episode of the CBS sit-com Two And A Half Men, although the one-liners were not as clever as they usually are, and the ending of the episode was not going to be a surprise to anyone. I will give you …

Duck Dodgers season 1 episode 9: The Green Loontern
I’m a huge Green Lantern fan, so when I found out that an episode of “Duck Dodgers” (a show I’m also a fan of) crossed over and had Dodgers joining the Corps to battle Sinestro, I had to track it down. It was as geektastic as I hoped. …

Oprah gets some A-class interviews and she landed a couple of good ones for this Wednesday, May 19, 2010 episode. The first half hour was devoted to rock singer, Bret Michaels. Now, I’ve never thought twice about this man until he went on Celebrity Apprentice this season. …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: A Time to Die TV Show
From December 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: A Time to Die is the 11the show of its fourth and final season on the air. Irwin Allen did a great job with this series, and while it wasn’t always great, it most often entertained viewers. …
Hawaii Five-O: Tiger by the Tail
Hawaii Five-O: Tiger by the Tail begins with a young singer performing in a nightclub. Then he gets kidnapped right after the show. The execution of this scene was pretty lame, even for the era. It’s not the plot; it’s just how it was directed …
TV Episode for House: Black Hole
I got a chance to watch bits and pieces of last night’s House episode. From what I saw of it, it was a pretty interesting show.
This time around, House and his team have to figure out what is killing a high school girl before all her organs start failing. …
South Park - Jersey Thing
Just hearing this title had me curious. I mean, what is the Jersey Thing? The only explanation that the episode had about what a Jersey Thing is, is just the mean and annoying excuses that people from New Jersey use when …

America’s Next Top Model
For me America’s Next Top Model is very entertaining and informative to watch. Aspiring models can learn a lot from the show, everything a person needs to know to get hired for a modelling job is being thought in the show. I think that’s the best modelling show so …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Krusty Krab Training Video
Let me start out by saying my whole family are really big fans of all his episodes, and we even have most of the Spongebob Squarepants seasons on DVD so we can watch them at any time. The Krusty Krab training video takes place towards the end of the …
Diagnosis Murder: 35 Millimeter Murder TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: 35 Millimeter Murder starts off interestingly enough with Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) receiving the wrong set of photos that he’d just had developed. This is a great way to start a story. It’s very easy to identify with as I’ll bet it’s happened to …
Adam-12: The Tip
For me, one of the things that stands out about Adam-12: The Tip is that Chuck Courtney has an uncredited part as bad guy, Russell Simms. I’m not sure why he didn’t make the end theme credits, but for some reason, Adam-12 had a habit of not crediting …
Dexter Season 6 Epi 2 (Once Upon a Time)
Dexter is one of my most favorite series of all time. I have been watching Dexter since it all started and have been quite fascinated with the storylines and the suspense. Dexter is on its 6th season now, and what I like about it is that it only has …
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Cupcake Wars: Film Festival Faceoff TV Show

This is one either a really good or a really bad episode depending upon your particular tastes. The central plot of this episode involves an underwater spider attacking the Seaview. Of course, this begs the question as to how the spider can breathe underwater and where did it come …
Project Runway: The Best of the Best
Last night’s project runway was a bit dull in my opinion. The designers had to make an outfit to compliment one of their winning designs while creating something completely different from the original outfit. Most of the designers didn’t do too bad of a job and it wasn’t really …

The Twilight Zone: An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge TV Show
After years upon years of watching The Twilight Zone, there are maybe two or three that don’t immediately pop out at me where I don’t instantly know the story when it comes on TV. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge from season five is one of those. …
The Mighty Boosh: Series One, Episode One - Killeroo

Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Possessed
When we decided to watch Law & Order SVU last night, we didn’t know there was going to be two episodes instead of just one. So, instead of going to bed by 9, we ended up staying up an extra hour to watch the second episode called “Possessed.”
At first, …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Deadly Dolls TV Show

Criminal Minds: Remembrance of Things Past TV Show
Criminal Minds: Remembrance of Things Past began with what I thought was just a ridiculous, poorly shot scene. Days of Our Lives’ Mary Beth Evans portrayed Candice DeLilly with Michael Spound of Hotel fame as her husband, Sam DeLilly. I actually enjoyed seeing them. I can’t …
Laramie: General Delivery
I absolutely adore the General Delivery episode of Laramie. It’s the first show that Rod Cameron guest starred in, and each of his episodes were gems. Cameron is a dynamic actor, and he brings quality to all of his portrayals.
In Laramie: General Delivery, Ed Calder is a …
