Seinfeld TV Episode: The Mango
I wasn’t in the mood for Family Guy last night so I ended up flipping through the channels and settling for a Seinfeld re-run instead. Fortunately for me, it happened to be one of my favorites; The Mango.
The set up on this episode was fantastic. Jerry and George are …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - Plankton

Wagon Train: The Larry Hanify Story
From season three, Wagon Train: The Larry Hanify Story guest starred Tommy Sands. Sands was a popular singer and actor at this point. Unfortunately, he ended up being an outcast and it cost his career for many years. He just got involved with the wrong person. …
Sable: Evangelist
Sable: Evangelist is the third of seven episodes of this series spawned by a comic book character. It’s all about Nicholas Flemming aka Jon Sable who has a soft spot for children, largely due to his own family tragedy. Lewis Van Bergen is incredibly boring in this …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Harsh Light of Day
Finally, an episode of a show geared toward teenagers that shows premarital sex and the possible consequences of doing so.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “The Harsh Light of Day” finally reveals my suspicions about Parker. He’s not allied with Buffy’s enemies, but it he obviously is a total …
Star Trek: Let That Be Your Last Battlefield TV Show
I must admit that Star Trek: Let That Be Your Last Battlefield is one show I’m rarely eager to watch. It’s a show that has prejudice as its theme, thanks to two warring aliens who hate each other because of their physical differences. This is an interesting …
Due South: An Eye for An Eye
In Due South: An Eye for An Eye, elderly people are being murdered and it’s up to Fraser and Vecchio to find out why and whodunit. There are a couple of nice twists to this plot that keeps the story fresh. Overall, though, it’s not really one …
M*A*S*H: Private Finance
M*A*S*H: Private Finance deals with a wounded soldier, Private Eddie Hastings, who makes Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) promise to send his money home to his parents, should he die, which he did. The problem is that the man had almost $9,000, which is an incredible amount. After …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Zsa Zsa Gabor TV Show
It’s a Woman of the Week for The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. That’s an unusual occurrence as there really weren’t that many women celebrated in these roasts that took place over the years. The lucky female was none other than Hungarian Zsa Zsa Gabor. Naturally, the …
MTV’s From G’s to Gents
MTV has a brand new reality program called ‘From G’s to Gents, where they have taken the regular thub from the corner and thrown him in a reality tv setting hoping to transform these thugs into real high society gentlemen.
The recreation process is being overseen by P. Diddy’s former …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Horse Trader TV Show
From January 1961, The Andy Griffith Show: The Horse Trader is another show where Sheriff Andy Taylor learns a lesson from his young son, Opie, who is brilliantly portrayed by Ronnie Howard, as he was known back then. It’s more or less a tale of backing up your …
Stargate: Infinity: Museum TV Show
Major Gus Bonner and his team of adventurous cadets are surprised when they blast through the Stargate and arrive at the Great Wall of China, only it’s inside a large structure. Obviously, they aren’t really back on Earth as they first thought. Then they come upon an …
21 Jump Street: Best Years Of Your Life Season 2, Episode 20
“Best Years Of Your Life,” is a weird title for this episode about suicides, mainly teenage ones.
When Penhall and Hanson are undercover they arrest a young boy named Walker Stevenson. A few days later, after getting out of jail and talking to Hanson, Walker kills himself with a …
Swingtown
I’d intentionally waited for a few weeks after this series debuted before reviewing it because I wanted to get a better sense of what the show is about. The first episode was pure sex, or pretty much so anyway, with the climax (pardon the pun!) being the swapping between …
America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 Episode 1
The episode starts with Tyra giving a highlight of the past seasons. These include the plus size models they have, the cat fights of the girls, the emotional make-overs, the past winners and hilarious moments.
Then the 10th cycle contestants were introduced. They were asked to go to this …
Star Trek: Arena TV Show
Star Trek: Arena is another solid show that is so enjoyable to watch. I’ve always remembered this show. Okay, well, as a Trekker, I remember them all as I’ve seen them all more times than I can count. However, this one sticks in the mind more …
Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind
Over the past couple of years, episodes of the Simpsons seemed to be weak at best. It seems that, after all the years the show has been on the air, the writers are starting to run out of stories to tell.
The last episode I saw of this, Eternal Moonshine …
CHiPs: Rustling
CHiPs: Rustling from season one actually had what I would call the first serious storyline, one that was emotional on a deep level. Most of the time, things are light or perhaps angry, and there’s been emotion, but not quite like this.
G.W. Bailey plays a drunk driver who …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Lady of the Fifth Moon TV Show
For its 29th episode of season 6, Have Gun - Will Travel presents a very poetic show called The Lady of the Fifth Moon. I have a few thoughts about this episode, and they follow.
–This episode is just strewn with words of whimsy and love’s poems. It …
M*A*S*H: The Moon Is Not Blue
The 4077th is tired of getting old and blah movies in M*A*S*H: The Moon Is Not Blue, so when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) hear about a controversial new movie called The Moon Is Not Blue, they are eager to have it sent to them.
In …
The Twilight Zone: The Lateness of the Hour TV Show
There’s so much that is so weird about The Twilight Zone: The Lateness of the Hour that I barely know where to start. The opening is just disturbingly odd. The massage on the mother is really over the top. In fact, I don’t even want to …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: A.K.A. Kansas
There was one thing I really loved and one thing I really hated about The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: A.K.A. Kansas. Overall, the negative rules and that means this is a show I could really live without.
Kelly Rutherford reprises her role as Dixie Cousins. This time, …
Kim Possible: Bonding
My daughter is still watching Kim Possible episodes I loaded for her recently and I got a chance to watch one with her last night; Bonding.
This was a somewhat cute episode. Kim and Ron are fighting the bad guy Dr. Dementor and end up getting his new bonding ball …
Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk
Today was the first time I had a chance to watch the entire Monk episode “Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk” and it turned out to be very interesting.
This episode gives us a better glimpse of his deceased wife Trudy; or at least a little more information about her considering …
Friends Episode: The One Where Joey Speaks French
I watched this Friends Episode: The One Where Joey Speaks French countless times and it never fails to make me laugh so hard each time. Joey is so funny and he seeks the help of Phoebe to learn how to speak French, since he will be going for audition …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - Naughty Nautical Neighbors
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, …
Stargate SG-1: Covenant
One of the fun things about Stargate SG-1: Covenant is that it guest stars Charles Shaughnessy as Alec Colson, a wealthy businessman who is a believer in the public knowing the truth, and while he may not fully know the truth, he knows it’s out there. I love …
The Dick Cavett Show - 2/21/73 TV Show
From February 21, 1973, this episode of The Dick Cavett Show featured Jack Benny, Bill Cosby, and Joe Frazier. It began with the usual monologue, which quickly reminds me why Cavett didn’t make it long run. He’s too dry, which fits his more serious and political style. …
Ghost Hunters
I try to keep an open mind when it comes to the paranormal. I don’t necessarily believe in ghosts but I’m more than willing to allow people to try to prove their existence to me.
That being said, even though I’ve watched several episodes of Ghost Hunters and have seen …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 13
Catherine Piper robbed a convenience store. She blamed Alan because she was promised a job after she was fired from Crane,Poole and Schimdt. According to her, Alan forgot it and since she needs to eat, she robbed a store. Her version was its better to do the robbing than …
Stargate SG1: There But For The Grace Of God
This was the first of many alternate reality shows that Stargate SG1 would do. It is also one of my favorite episodes from Season One. Maybe it’s because this episode is Daniel-centric or maybe it’s because it was very well written and fun to watch.
Daniel and the …
Felicity show
I really like the show Felicity. i feel like to accuratly portays what its like going through your four years of college, with new friends new boyfriends breakups and make ups. Its a really fantastic program that i enjoy watching over and over again. It comes on the WE …
The Starter Wife
I’ve seen plenty of ads for the show The Starter Wife and I’ve always been a big Debra Messing fan. But, last night was the first opportunity I’ve had to actually sit down and watch the show.
After finally doing so, I have to say it was good but not …
American Pickers Television Show
This is not your typical television show about antiques. This show follows two American pickers who travel throughout the United States looking for discarded antiques and valuables that they sell to antique stores and collectors. Not only does the show follow the exploits of the two men …
M*A*S*H: Give ‘Em Hell, Hawkeye
He’s done this once before and he does it again now in M*A*S*H: Give ‘Em Hell, Hawkeye. The ‘he’ is Hawkeye Pierce, played so brilliantly for years by Alan Alda. The ‘it’ is writing a letter to President Harry S. Truman. It’s Hawkeye’s attempt to communicate …
House: Not Cancer
OK, not only was the lastest episode of House “Not Cancer,” entertaining, it had to be one of the grossest episodes I’ve seen recently; a good combination for network television.
This episode was interesting because you have a series of people dying after receiving an organ transplant from the same …
Extreme Couponing (tv series)
Extreme Couponing is one of those television series that I don’t necessarily love enough to go out of my way to see, but I might watch if a few episodes if nothing else is on. I can imagine that just watching a reality television series about people who dedicate …
Jeremiah: The Touch
For me, Jeremiah: The Touch felt like a Stargate SG-1 reunion. I realize that shows filmed in Vancouver tend to use the same actors, but sometimes it just reeks of a certain cast. The Touch featured a number of performers who had been on SG-1 and every …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Revelations
I have to say season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer really isn’t as light hearted as the first two seasons. In fact, you have so much going on at once, it’s actually starting to get confusing. The episode “Revelations” is a good example.
The episode itself focuses on a …
Forensic Files
Forensic science is not that new, at least to Sherlock Holmes fans, but it is is real life. Forensic Files is seen on Court TV, which is going to be known as Tru TV starting in January 2008. They set out to solve murders that seem to be unsolvable …
Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse
Classical Disney cartoons were always my favourite ones. I like these 2D ones much better than those 3D ones that they are making today bout Mickey Mouse and his friends. I guess a 2D cartoon brings me back in my childhood and for me a 2D cartoon is a …
Chase: The Comeback Kid TV Show
Chase: The Comeback Kid is the third outing for this new NBC TV series which focuses on United States Marshals. It opens with, what else, a chase where the victim goes over a balcony and goes splat on the cement ground below. This is followed by some …
Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 1 TV Show
For the most part, I love America’s Dancing with the Stars, so it was with curiosity that I watched Australia’s version of it recently. This was the 10th season premier of the Oz version. Here are a few observations.
–It’s basically the same type of set, with the …
Clifford: To Catch a Bird
Another episode of Clifford the Big Red Dog and yet another episode I have to recommend to parents. Why don’t I let my daughter watch this show more often?
The episode “To Catch a Bird” is a great one because it actually has to challenge your belief in true friendship. …
Cablevision- Optimum service
To choose the cable service is a no brainier in east coast of USA. As there are only two service providers Verizon and Cablevision. But what to choose from is the difficult part. Well we had cablevision- optimum service since 4 years. If you are a new member then …
Smallville: Absolute Justice - Part 2
Smallville: Absolute Justice - Part 2 continues the introduction of the Justice Society of America into the Smallville lore. This second part was directed by star Tom Welling, who frankly didn’t act all that much during this movie-like presentation. In fact, Allison Mack and Justin Hartley (as …
Super Mario World - Mama Luigi
Super Mario World - “Mama Luigi” is the last episode of this short, thirteen episode series. I have to wonder if the writers and producers were aware of this, because this episode seems awfully appropriate for a final episode. I say that because it actually tells of the story …
