Laramie: The Replacement is one of my very favorite episodes of this series. It’s in the top 5, in fact. I absolutely love it. It’s the kind of the story that keeps me on the edge of my seat while also engaging my heart. The …

White Collar’s newest episode, “Front Man” was the best yet. I found myself feeling completely intrigued and my eyes were glued to the screen. Just beware that if you read on my review has spoilers.
What made this episode unique was the action in it. It had …

I came home for lunch today and the Home Improvement episode “Satellite on a Hot Tim’s Roof” was on. And, it is great.
There are two storylines going on in this episode and the writers managed to pull off both without taking away from either of them.
First, Tim gets a new …

The Lost series Is another one of my personal favourites. Lost is like a puzzle that never seems to be fully solved. The stories and acting are first class. The actors do a great job of acting and playing their characters which are very likeable in the story. I …

“Wing Man” is all about Haim’s love life. The two Coreys discuss it over a game of pool, Haim begins blaming Feldman for all of the bad relationships he was involved in due to the fact that Feldman introduced him to those women. So to make up for it, …

Well, last night’s episode of Bones, The Dwarf in the Park, wasn’t too bad. Basically, they found the bones of a midget wrestler under a city street (after a sink hole formed, scary) and, while investigating, found a list of possible suspects in his murder; ranging from his replacement …

Sea Hunt: Operation Greenback was an interesting show. I actually kept wondering if it was done a bit like MacGyver which always kept something back when explaining how to make something that could be dangerous. In this episode, Mike Nelson, the expert deep sea diver played by …

Now what I liked about the Celebrity Apprentice was that we knew almost everyone who was competing. There were a few contestants I wasn’t familiar with but the presence of the other celebrities made up for it.
I think the difference between this and the regular Apprentice is that …

Chasing Mummies: Robbed go right to the action with the famous archaeologist, Zahi Hawass, making a discovery of a previously unearthed sarcophagus with a mummy inside of it. I do enjoy the history that I learn from this show, and actually, I like watching to see how the …

A monster of the week episode should, by all accounts, be difficult to pull off, what with the X-files being closed and all. Still, we manage to get a classic one here. The “flukeman” has become one of the iconic X-files monsters and, after watching this episode, …

When we last left Elena and Stefan, they were still dealing with the terrifying effects of a legendary vampire by the name of Katherine, and her return to Mystic Falls, all while trying to have a normal high school life and relationship. The third episode of the season, “Bad …

Modern Marvels is a great show brought to the viewing public by the History channel.
I like being able to tun this program on and then learn about some of the structures and how they were built. Everything from collapsed and fixed bridges to antenna towers to bullet trains …

I absolutely love House M.D. on Fox. House is one of the best shows on TV. I have watched every episode from the beginning and I have to say this show never gets old.
One of my favorite parts of the show is Dr. Gregory House’s attitude. He just …

With the X-Files shut down, it seems like it would be difficult to continue the plot. If nothing else, you would expect the status quo to quickly reassert itself. Interestingly enough, this episode does neither of these things. It does indeed pick up after the events …

The TV show Survivor premiered in the United States in 2000 on CBS and became a huge hit that year. I remember the show that year because I was still in school and had plenty of free time to watch the show and get obsessed about it.

I just simply saw the IMDB reviews of the series the Game of Thrones and immediately, I wanted to see it so bad because it had 9.5 rating and great reviews. It is based on a book, but I would really rather watch it than read it so I …

M*A*S*H: Dear Dad… Three simply refers to this being the third episode where we get a full out letter from Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) to his father. These episodes are always so good to watch. They provide glimpses of life at the 4077th and allow a lot …

I’m not big on silent movies, and that’s probably why I’m not a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Invaders and never have been. The only dialog in the entire episode is the spoken narration at the beginning and the end by host, Rod Serling, plus a …

The League’s second stage show is like its predecessor, divided into two acts. The first follows Ollie Plimsoles, founder of Legs Akimbo theatre company, auditioning Royston Vasey for a local nativity performance, dubbed “community”.
The second act follows the performance itself, by now a run of the mill pantomime, featuring …

The Virginian: Say Goodbye to All That just did nothing for me. It’s one of the reasons why I didn’t watch this series originally. It left me cold. I really didn’t get all the nuances. Maybe I blinked and missed something important and didn’t realize …

“Uncle George” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode marks the one and only appearance of Rob’s energetic and animated uncle, George Petrie. His visit isn’t limited to spending time with family, but one where he hopes to leave with a new wife at his …

This episode starts by replaying the last episode shrunk down to a couple of minutes, which was a disappointing way to begin in my opinion because there was nothing worthwhile about the last episode, and then the fight continues. This time at least the fight is a little better …

You really gotta love when the guys who write South Park want to make fun of a celebrity. In this episode, entitled “Fishsticks”, is just one long joke on rapper Kanye West. The episodes revolves around a wordplay joke created by Jimmy and Cartman, and Kanye West losing his …

I waited excitedly for the first episode of Bones Season 5. The blogs were buzzing that Cyndi Lauper was going to be the episode’s guest as a psychic and this added to my excitement. I have not seen her seen the 80s when Girls Just Wanna have Fun days …

The Young and The Restless has been in the 11 am time slot on CBS in my location as long as I can remember. While it’s a good show to those that like it, I find it rather dull, and increasingly confusing. The story lines aren’t something that make …

This episode is one of the most incredible episodes I’ve …

Survivor Nicaragua: Glitter in Their Eyes was full of fire as events unfolded. There were also a lot of critical moves and, of course, a blind side. That’s what this TV Show is about more often than not, the surprise back stabbing. I’m pretty tired of …

There’s just so much in this episode to love. For the first time that I can recall, we actually get to see ALL the heroes working together. Ok, it’s their villainous counterparts from a parallel dimension, but we still get to see a full team as opposed …

“Dragonball Z” is the coolest anime TV show ever. I am watching this show for many years, and I just love to watch “Dragonball Z”. This is an epic anime show, this series is full of action, and I love to watch actions, so it has become my most …

I must admit that Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother isn’t one of my favorite episodes of the series. It begins with Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) having a lot of close calls. He survives them all, but realizes that it’s actually intentional. There’s …

I had almost forgotten just how funny Ned Flanders can be until coming across the older Simpsons episode entitled “Viva Ned Flanders.”
This is actually one of the better episodes of this show ever made; mostly because it is able to lead to other story lines later.
You have Ned revealing …

From March 1961, Sea Hunt: Amigo was an interesting episode that I liked but have an issue with as far as the plot goes. Deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) takes a job in San Carlos, Mexico to help extract fossils from a seemingly very difficult …

Oh my goodness, it’s Trelane! One of Star Trek’s most intriguing, mischievous, and rebellious little boys is seen in this episode called The Squire of Gothos. William Campbell played the colorful role, and in doing so was one of the best guest stars ever in the original …

The message of The Twilight Zone: The Rip Van Winkle Caper is that greed just doesn’t pay. It’s an interesting story and one that is a bit unique in that three men steal some gold and then place themselves in suspended animation, setting their pods to awaken them …

“Leave It to Beaver” is a reminder of an era that will never exist again. This classic television show was made during a time when most kids worries were more about grades, homework, crushes on the opposite sex and trying to get along with parents. Parents, teachers …

Criminal minds is a TV show that will run its eleventh season this year. Eleventh season! There are not many TV shows that can brag with eleven seasons. I saw a few episodes of this show in the past few years but never entire episode, just pieces of an …

U.B. Iwerks was very well respected as an animator of cartoons, and this story of Tom Thumb is a good example of his work. It’s from the golden days of television and is quite good.
It begins with the birth of Tom Thumb, or rather, his delivery by the …

Bruce McGill might as well have been added to the opening credits of MacGyver in the third season. He was on the show all the time, including this entry called Rock the Cradle. This time, Jack has roped Mac into helping with Dalton Air. That doesn’t …

Fox News Channel is an interesting phenomenon to watch, if anything. Famous for their slogan “Fair and Balanced,” they are anything but. Bias resonates through almost every word iterated by one of the Channel’s many columnists. The half-hour news reports are fairly standard fare, but the …
