Lost Blanket (In the Night Garden series)
My 19-month old daughter is a fan of the popular children’s TV series, In the Night Garden. We even bought some DVDs for her the other day. Then we saw the book version of the show and she instantly recognised the characters and smiled when she saw it. So …
Hotel Erotica Cabo
Normally, I don’t watch late-night adult programming on HBO or the other premium movie channels we have. Maybe when I was in college or even when I was single. But, now that I’m married and have a child, it just seems immature. Besides, if I’m watching it alone instead …
The Great Truck Food Race TV Series
The Great Truck Food Race TV Series aired on the Food Network during the summer of 2010. It was a six episode series where seven food trucks competed for the grand prize as they sold food in various places of the country.
It really was fascinating to see how …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Death from the Past TV Show
We’re still in 1980, October 3rd to be specific, when Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Death from the Past rolls around. The show began with a teaser that included World War II action in 1945 and an underwater lab of sorts which is being attacked. …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Tony Danza
Tony Danza was the latest guest on Shatner’s Raw Nerve. I used to never like Danza, but after seeing him in person while he was filming “Who’s the Boss” and then watching how he’s responded to various challenges in life, I actually respect him quite a bit.
Danza doesn’t …
Mythbusters: Duct Tape Hour 2 TV Show
Duct Tape Hour 2 aka: a Buster’s Cut episode of Mythbusters was terrific to watch. I still love the first hour, which came from curiosity of which MacGyver tricks might actually have worked, was a load of fun. They built a boat and lifted up a car …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 3: Return to Omashu
Omashu has been taken over by the fire nation. Katara and Sokka insist that there are other teachers who can impart the earthbending forms to them, but Aang wants to save his friend.
Azula returns and recruits two friends of hers, Mai and Ty Lee to help her in …
Adam 12 - Logs 102 and 72
I’m combining reviews here on “Adam-12″ because as respects “Log 102″, I just have nothing to say. It’s heavy on the drug scene of the day, and I’ve just seen so much of that I’m sort of numb about it now. It’s just another Narco-related show. …
The Jetsons
The Jetsons was an animated television series that I used to watch when I was little. It used to come sometimes in the evenings before I had access to cable television on a local television channel. I can rememebr having some amount of interest in it because it was …
The Tribe Season 1 Episode 3
In this episode, Lex wakes up to eat breakfast when he notices the food is gone and immediately points the finger at Bray and Amber for letting him stay in the mall. Shortly after, Bray returns with Trudy and asks if she can stay because she is pregnant. Lex …
Diego: Animal Rescuer
When Nick Jr. first came out with Diego: Animal Rescuer, my first thought was; well, they have Dora and obviously need something for the boys to watch.
But, as I found out, the show isn’t just meant for young boys. My daughter loves it as well.
Diego is a young child …
The X-Files Fire Episode
The first thought which came to my mind when I watched this episode of “The X-Files” was “Weird “. I thought it was a lot stranger for some reason than many of the episodes of the popular 1990s American television series which I had watched as this episode involved …
MacGyver: The Coltons
Finally, the entire Colton clan is together in the same episode of MacGyver. Over the last couple of years, all four Coltons have been introduced, but no two have ever been in the same episode. In fact, the only repeat was Frog, their bulldog. The reason …
The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie Comes to Town TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie Comes to Town is the show where widower Andy Taylor gets himself a girlfriend in the form of new druggist, Ellie Walker. Elinor Donahue, who viewers watched grow up on Father Knows Best, plays the lady pharmacist, who has come to Mayberry to …
Daisy Daisy
British comedienne Daisy Donovan brings us a sometimes insightful, often bizarre, but always charming insight into numerous sub-cultures and conclaves of society.
If you’ve seen her on the 11 O’Clock Show or anything of the kind, you’ll be familiar with her comedic ways. She’s as sweet as pie on the …
The Twilight Zone: Mr. Bevis TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Mr. Bevis is one of those shows that teaches us all to be happy with who we are and what we have. Actually, this premise is used again in a later episode that starred Carol Burnett. I actually like the Burnett one better, but …
Baywatch
Baywatch was a cool show in it’s time and I loved to watch it. I think Baywatch does not get the credit it deserves as all it is really known for is pretty girls running on the beach and when the show first came out it was a …
Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees
Well, I didn’t know for sure if I would like the Monk episode Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees when I saw it this past weekend. But, I have to admit, it was much better than expected.
The case itself was somewhat interesting. There is a murder and …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Conspiracy
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Conspiracy is an episode that came late in season one and, while enjoyable and certainly commendable for doing something quite different from standard Star Trek fare, has a few glaring plot holes here and there that make the story a little less enjoyable …
The Simpsons: I am Furious Yellow
Last night was the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “I am Furious Yellow” in its entirety. And, I have to admit, it was very entertaining.
You have Bart being inspired (like all the kids in his class) to create a new comic book hero. And, after witnessing Homer …
Merlin’s Apprentice (Hallmark Entertainment) 2006
Merlin’s Apprentice is not a sequel to the original 1998 Hallmark production,Merlin,which also starred Sam Neil in the title role and Miranda Richardson in the supporting cast. The 1998 Merlin is one of the few film interpretations of the Authurian legend that I like,and I also have always …
M*A*S*H: Good-Bye Radar: Part 2
In contrast to Part 1 where I had qualms and concerns about how the story progressed, M*A*S*H: Good-Bye Radar: Part 2 is stellar as can be. After learning that his Uncle Ed has died, Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) prepares to go home on a hardship leave. Only …
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part Two
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part Two is an episode that suffers from the same problems that the first part did and quite unfortunately the problems are actually worse this time around. Visually, this episode is also not as impressive as the first part mainly occurred during a thunderstorm …
Paris Hilton’s My New BFF - Our Friendship Is Over
So we all know Paris is out to find herself a new bff……oh yes. The last episode on Mtv Wednesday night was entilted Our Friendship is Over. Paris had Ryan Seacrest interview the girls, asking them a few candid questions like “which of the girls in the …
Remington Steele: Steele Trap TV Show
It seems incredible that a new program on TV like Remington Steele would have two very similar concepts done back to back, but that’s the case with this outing from season one called Steele Trap. Just before this show, there was another where Steele and Laura Holt were …
Space Balls the Animated Series
The other day, I was looking for movies on Netflix Instant Watch and came across Space Balls the animated series. Since I loved that movie, I figured I would take the time to watch the cartoon.
The cartoon wasn’t very good.
I don’t know what they did in other seasons (if …
House TV Episode: Massage Therapy
Synopsis: House and his team have to diagnose a woman who is brought in with severe vomiting; something that is more difficult than expected because the patient has a tendency to lie about her past.
What I liked about this episode: The case itself was actually pretty interesting. The woman …
Dogs 101
“Dog’s 101″ is a television show on the channel Animal Planet.
This is a series of shows where people talk about 5 different breeds of dogs. They tell stories and the histories of each breed. They also explain the temperament of each dog and health risks.
Each show features …
That Girl: Gone A-Courtin’
That Girl: Gone A-Courtin’ once again has Seymour as Ann Marie’s agent. This is probably my number one pet peeve about That Girl, the rotating agent that flip flops from being the mostly unseen Seymour and then a guest starring agent that serves some comedic purpose in the …
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Proof of Love TV Show
The fifth show of the fifth season of Have Gun - Will Travel, A Proof of Love, has Charles Bronson in a nice guy role. In fact, he’s a mama’s boy. Bronson has been in several outings of this western series, and some I’ve liked better than …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 20 (Animated)
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 20 begins with the Fire Nation continuing their attack on the Water Tribe and Aang has been captured by Zuko. Sokka and Katara are searching for Aang, hoping to rescue him before it’s too late.
This episode was really intense and exciting and was …
Queen Bee
Queen Bee is a new show which recently premiered on the-n. You all have seen them, the overly self-confident stuck up girls. Well what would happen if you put seven of them in the same room? Brittany, Camille, Gisbelle, Kiana, Michelle, Shavon and Stassi were put on this show …
That Girl: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Nervous
That Girl: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Nervous is the first of a two-part story where Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) gets her first Broadway role. She’s very excited about it, and her boyfriend Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) is very supportive, even though it means that Ann will be …
Surviving Sharks: Shark Week
Surviving Sharks is a show on the Discovery Channel in which a host does tests with sharks to determine how best to avoid being attacked or eaten by a shark when swimming or surfing. It started with tests to determine whether different types of sharks were more active feeders …
X-Factor - ITV1 - First Live Show
The X-Factor live shows are back. This used to be considered prime time viewing for me on a Saturday night, but I do feel as though the format is dragging a bit. The fact that Simon Cowell decided to allow a wild card selection for each judge shows that …
Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 3
Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 3 is another thought-provoking show in what has turned out to be a big surprise for me. I’m not fans of any of these one-time teen idols, but they are making for interesting television.
One of the classic battles — at what …
Criminal Minds TV series
The Criminal Minds TV series fits well with all of the other crime investigation drama out there because it is different but still comfortable. The crimes are more graphic - if I wasn’t already desensitized by other shows I would say too graphic, and they probably are too graphic. …
Torchwood
My husband began watching Torchwood reruns on the internet awhile back. I am not really into sci-fi television, but I do like this show. It is about a special ops team that deals with aliens and alien artifacts. They also deal with a rift that allows things from the …
Seven days season 3 episode 20 Sugar Mountain
Except the fact that the Russians were again bad guys who wanted to use a small boy to kill American politicians I generally liked this episode.
An airplane blew up in the airport and some very important person got killed in the way so Parker is sent 7 days back …
Stargate SG-1: One False Step
Stargate SG-1: One False Step is one of my very favorite episodes of the series, mainly because there is such wonderful interplay between the characters of Jack (Richard Dean Anderson) and Daniel (Michael Shanks). These two performers have such awesome comedic timing. They can speak in unison, …
Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 2
Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 2 makes the big transition official, but not until Jack has been unfrozen and the System Lords sent on their way.
The fun part of this episode is when Thor beams Daniel up to his ship, The Daniel Jackson. I adore that! Daniel …
Cold Case show
I don’t get to watch the show Cold Case too often. But, when I do get to watch it, I re-confirm it is actually one of my favorite shows.
I like most crime dramas. However, the thing I like about Cold Case is the fact the detectives are dealing with …
Stargate SG-1: Jolinar’s Memories
Stargate SG-1: Jolinar’s Memories was an episode from the third season and is actually the first of a two-parter in which SG-1 go to hell, well, in the show, it’s call Netu. The basis for the trip are memories that Sam has from the time when she’d been …
Bonaza
When I was a child we would stay at home and watch television. It was something that you did all the time. One of the first television series that I remember watching in color was the series Bonaza.
There was Brn Cartwright and his sons, Hoss, Little Joe …
Samsung PN50C430 50 inch 720p Plasma HDTV
In the company that I work for right now, there was a recent drawing for all the employees in a celebration-ceremony. Expecting that my luck, like always, wouldn’t get me drawn; I went for the free food and drinks. So when I heard my name that I had selected …
Night Gallery: Finnegan’s Flight TV Show
Rod Serling introduced this episode of Night Gallery by saying that he was considered to be the Howard Cosell of the crypt. That was an odd start, but it makes sense, in an odd way. Then we get to the evening’s entertainment, a half hour vehicle written …
Everybody Loves Raymond
This show is, in my opinion, not as hilarious as many people seem to think. It is no longer airing new episodes, but you can often catch Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, and the dvds are available for purchase, so it’s easy to watch this show even though it ended …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mummy TV Show
A season three outing, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mummy aired in February 1967 and was the 20th show of the year. It begins with a little eye candy for the gals and then brings a bit of Egyptian folklore into the mix. As …
