Family Guy TV Episode: Ready, Willing and Disabled
As is usually the case, there was a re-run of Family Guy on last night after my re-run of the Simpsons and it happened to be one I have seen parts of before but have never watched completely; Ready, Willing and Disabled. After watching it, I don’t think it …
The Amazing Race - 3/22/09
The Amazing Race took the teams to India once again. Watching the reactions to this country is always emotional. In particular, it was Luke who had the most dramatic and emotional reaction. It’s hard seeing kids eating garbage and running around naked. His tears were …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 5: The Girl in the Fireplace
From what I’ve seen, Doctor Who episodes fall into three categories: ones that take place in the distant past, ones that take place in the distant future, and ones that take place on an alien world. Of course, there are several that take place in the present, thus …

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - 5/29/09
May 29, 2009 marked the end of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after 17 years. I was never a fan of Leno, and I felt NBC shenanigans resulted in him getting the job over David Letterman. The thing is, I’m not a fan of Letterman, either, …
Highway Patrol: Prison Break TV Show

Gilligan’s Island - Good-Bye Island TV show
Now this episode is more of the good reputation I have come to know and love in the Gilligan’s Island series. The castaways are working together nicely as a team, they have great problem solving solutions and treat each other with respect. These are the excellent morals you would …
Fringe Season 4 Episode 2 TV show
After Peter was wiped out of existence at the end of the last season the show has been changed completely. It seems that everything else has been wiped from the existence as well: the high stakes and the action scenes, the mystery and the adventure, any kind of meaningful …
The Twilight Zone: The Hunt TV Show
For some reason, I always tend to forget what this show is about when it comes on TV. I have this idea of it in my mind and I turn it off, so I was surprised by it when I recently did view the entire program again. …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Christmas Story
From the first season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Christmas Story is a show I must watch every year at least three or four times. I love it that much, and it just isn’t Christmas without seeing this wonderful episode of this down home comedy show.
Andy Griffith and …
How I Met Your Mother: Shelter Island

Hey Arnold (tv series)
When I was a child I loved alternating between cable television channels such as Disney, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network because at the time they seemed to have some of the best after-school series and cartoons especially at one period of time. One of my favourites in particular was an …
Eureka Seven episode 47
As our story begins to reach its conclusion, we are seeing all the lost threads to the ever increasing in size story line. Now for all those who would dare to call that an failure in more than one aspect, I believe it is about time for us to …
Ghost Hunters Halloween Live TV Show
For Halloween 2010, the SyFy Network aired a six hour live broadcast (well, if you were on the east coast anyway) called Ghost Hunters Halloween Live. I tuned in for the entire marathon broadcast and below are a few of my reactions.
–The overall was too much of a …
Ghost Hunters series
Cable television is the best. There is a Sci fi channel that puts on some really interesting series. I like the original Ghost Hunters series, they have spin off of this series called Ghost Hunter International , however I beleive that the original Ghost Hunters was the …
House: Here Kitty
Well, the television series House seems to finally be getting back to interesting plots. I still wouldn’t put the more recent episodes in the same class as earlier ones but tonight’s episode “Here Kitty” managed to be kind of cute while making you think.
House has a patient come into …

Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Aquaman’s Outrageous Adventure
The cold open has Batman flying a plane in World War 2. There’s not really any explanation, but Batman has time traveled before so it’s not too outlandish. He teams up with Enemy Ace to defeat..aliens I guess. I’m not sure, there wasn’t much in the …
Psych TV Episode: Sixty Five Million Years Off

The X-Files Fight Club Episode
I thought this was one of the most memorable X-Files episodes. It guest starred a famous comedian Kathy Griffin, and it was the 159th episode of the television series. It was also the 20th episode of season 7 of “The X-Files”. It was memorable because I found that the …
Lawrence Welk TV Treasures
It’s funny how we change as we age. As a young girl, I wanted nothing to do with The Lawrence Welk Show. I recall giving my mother and grandmother such grief over watching it. As I’ve aged, though, I like it more and more. …
Gargoyles: Awakening
I believe that you can’t judge a show a show by the first season. Most shows usually need the first season to get the characters established and for the writers to find their footing. Great shows like Seinfeld and The Simpsons even needed two or three seasons …
The Simpsons: Tree House of Horror XX
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 Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Dan Haggerty TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast continued with the Man of the Hour, Dan Haggerty, best known as Grizzley Adams. The dais featured a few performers known for playing similar outdoor characters along with the usual suspects of ridiculous ‘why bother’ comics.
To be honest, this was the most boring …
Family Guy
The Family guy is a cartoon for adults. It involves the family Griffin. These is Stewy the baby with a football shaped head who sole purpose in life is to kill his mother. This character talks like an English butler and he is super smart.

Ghost Hunters: Hartford Conservatory
Wow, that was a boring Ghost Hunters episode; “Hartford Conservatory.” How in the world did this show last beyond its second season with episodes like this one almost every single week.
You have the TAPS team visiting two places. One is a residence in New Jersey and the other is …
MacGyver: The Human Factor
MacGyver: The Human Factor is one of my favorite episodes of the dramatic series, which stars Richard Dean Anderson as the inventive and creative agent. This is the first episode of the second season and added to the regular cast is Dana Elcar as Pete Thornton. Pete …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Matter of Honor
This second season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation - “A Matter of Honor” is an episode that is quite fun to watch, although it does have its flaws. This is the show’s second Klingon-focused episode, and like the first Klingon episode, this episode excels - at least, …
Friends Episode: Phoebe and Ursula Buffay
Remember Friends Episode: Phoebe and Ursula Buffay? Yes, these are twins and it is quite a unique idea for the writers to cast Phoebe having an ‘evil’ twin sister which is acted out by the same Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) and the dialogs are really spot-on, witty and really irritatingly …
Christmas Night (The Little King) cartoon
The Little King - Christmas Night is a vintage cartoon presented by SoGlow. I actually watched several holiday comics from the golden age today, and this was probably not only the most simplistic of the bunch but my least favorite.
The story revolves around a king who seems a …
Gravity Falls (Cartoon series)
I only watched this show because my friend asked me to. I admit that it is rare for me to watch stuff like this but…This here, right here, Gravity Falls sure is good.
The animation for this cartoon is good and it really kept my eyes on screen since sometimes, there …
The Secret Life of the American Teenager
Hey, you should be proud of me. A new television series came on TV and, not only did I watch it, I actually got to see the first episode of it (that rarely happens).
But, after watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager on ABC Family, I really find …
Ice Road Truckers: Convoy to Hell
Ice Road Truckers: Convoy to Hell was a bit on the calm side, which is unusual for this reality series which airs weekly on the History Channel. Usually, the show has plenty of spice, but for whatever reason, the action seemed a bit tame. Then again, sometimes …
Tough Love (VH1 show)
“These reality shows are getting out of hand,” I used to say. But then this one reality show came along and focused on the women of the world who are responsible for their own dating failures. At first I wondered whether they would pick …
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.
