Dollhouse
Dollhouse is a television show that aired on Fox. At first I wasn’t too interested in the show, it seemed too scientific and filled with jargon. The basic premise being people sign their lives over to a corporation for five years and in that five years their …
Futurama TV Episode: The Duh-Vinci Code
I rarely get a chance to watch the newer episodes of the show Futurama. But, the kids were in bed last night and my wife was busy on the computer so I ended up finally watching a couple of them; including the one entitled The Duh-Vinci Code.
This episode was …
Roseanne Season Four
The fourth season of Roseanne had its high points, but it also had quite a few low points. This was the season where they introduced Mark’s brother David, which was one of the high points. I really liked this character because he added a nice little twist to the …
Futurama TV Episode: When Aliens Attack
I decided to take off from work a bit early today so I could work in the garden. Realizing I was hungry, I sat down for a bite to eat before going outside and watched a Futurama episode; When Aliens Attack.
This one was actually kind of a clever episode …
Being human - TV series shown on BBC 3 in the UK
Have you watched Being Human because if you haven’t you really should catch the next series! It’s fabulous.
Being Human is one of the best BBC dramas to be released in a long while. The storylines are compelling and the characters, despite some of their rather off-putting traits, …
SuperNatural
I think the show Supernatural is the best and spookiest TV show. So far nothing has even come close to the greatness of Supernatural. I think the show has great story lines and plots. The story always flows in the show and it keeps you on the edge of …
Would I Lie to You? (BBC)
‘Would I Lie to You?’ is a funny game show on BBC1, with television personalities, but mainly comedians, as contestants. This show has been around since 2007 but I only discovered it recently, since the the role of the host was taken over by one of my favourite …

The Virginian: The Land Dreamer TV Show
From season seven, The Virginian: The Land Dreamer has a really bad continuity goof to start off the show. It was so bad. We have Sheriff Abbott (Ross Elliott) in the middle of a confrontation between Hosea McKinley (James Olson) and Caleb Welles (Don Francks) when shots …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Corpse Sniffing Dog
The new restaurant Larry has invested in is fast approaching its grand opening, but a apparently grim discovery from Oscar, Jeff’s corpse sniffing dog means the kitchen is excavated as the police move in.
Elsewhere, Larry and the Browdy’s have made their peace and things seem even rosier for …
Futurama TV Episode: Lethal Inspection
As I mentioned before, I finally got a chance to watch some newer episodes of the show Futurama last night and, while I was impressed with the first one I watched (The Duh-Vinci Code), the one I enjoyed even more was the one entitled Lethal Inspection.
The thing I liked …
CSI Season 5 Episode 19 4×4
This might have been the absolutely worst episode on the show. Not only was it boring, but it was also stupid. In this episode they creators of the show are trying to show the normal everyday flow of thing as they happen in the lab and in the field. …
Star Trek: The Slaver Weapon TV Show
Star Trek: The Slaver Weapon is a December 1973 episode of the animated Star Trek series which featured the wonderful voices of just about the entire live action cast. This is one of the more serious shows in term of topic and tone. It all surrounds a …
Sponge Bob
Sponge Bob is a great show. I think this show is very funny and creative. But I also think that who ever writes the show is on some serious drugs. I mean the stuff they come up with on this show is really crazy, and very funny. It really out …
Murder by the Book
Have you ever wondered where mystery writers get the inspiration for their stories? In many cases, it comes from a personal experience and in this Court TV series some of the most famous of the modern day mystery writers tell about their personal experiences with crime that gave …

M*A*S*H: Big Mac is from season three and deals with the impending visit of General Douglas McArthur. Is the 4077th ready for a visit from the esteemed general? Well, maybe, especially if Corporal Klinger isn’t standing guard in one of his dresses.
Graham Jarvis appears as Colonel Whiteman, …
Aeon Flux
I can remember watching the show Aeon Flux on late night MTV. It was an intriguing show at the time about an undercover agent on various missions. I was so pleased when I saw that a movie was going to made and Charlize Theron was the star. I think …
The Twilight Zone: Mr. Denton on Doomsday TV Show
Episode three of The Twilight Zone isn’t a particular favorite of mine. It’s called Mr. Denton on Doomsday and features Dan Duryea. Certainly, Duryea was one very talented man. He’s been in numerous shows that I have enjoyed greatly, but this wasn’t one of them. …
John Doe: Tone Dead TV show
Gabrielle Anwar returns in John Doe: Tone Dead. After surviving their murderous plane flight to London, she decides to pay John Doe a visit, and things do heat up. However, it’s not just fun and games. Rachel ends up helping out on a case. It’s …
Grey’s Anatomy Television show
Talk about great surprises! I was reluctant to watch this show; there are so many medical shows out there. However, I was greatly surprised when I watched Grey’s Anatomy. The show has fantastic character development on top of the appealing storylines. Grey’s Anatomy sets a …

Laramie: Bare Knuckles
Laramie: Bare Knuckles focuses a bit more on Hoagy Carmichael and his character of Jonesy, the family friend who is essentially the cook and housekeeper, as well as doing ranch hand chores. Jonesy was mild mannered and laid back, but he had a lot of gumption and was …
Beast Wars - Other Visits, Part 2
Beast Wars - Other Visits, Part 2 is superior to the first part, but I have to say, this episode does not offer any answers to the questions set up in the first half. For example, why did the aliens return? Why is the alien structure not manned? How …
M*A*S*H: Mulcahy’s War
There aren’t that many episodes of this wartime series that give focus to William Christopher’s Father Mulcahy role, but in season five, M*A*S*H: Mulcahy’s War does just that. The good father feels like he’s not doing enough, like he needs to be at the front to really do …
Chase: Pilot TV Show
The pilot for the new dramatic series, Chase, told me one huge thing. This is a show that wants to be a cross of In Plain Sight and Criminal Minds. Both of those are excellent series, but can a combination series be unique enough to draw an …
“All On The Line” reality show
“All On The Line” is a reality show starring Joe Zee who is the creative director at Elle magazine. In “All On The line’ Joe Zee helps struggling fashion designers turn their businesses around with his knowledge of fashion and his contacts from various buyers for clothing boutiques or …

Hawaii Five-0: Ohana TV Show
Hawaii Five-0: Ohana is the second episode of this reincarnation of the 1960’s classic police drama. Hipper and with more of an edge, this new version stars Alex O’Loughlin as Det. Steve McGarrett, Scott Caan as Det. Danny Williams, Daniel Dae Kim as Det. Chin Ho Kelly, and …
Highway Patrol: Hostage TV Show
Highway Patrol’s fourth season aired Hostage as its second episode of the year. In ways, this show is about the human condition and how people respond differently to a crisis. At the heart of the half hour episode is a wounded fugitive who takes a woman and …
Fear the Walking Dead (Horror Drama Television Series)
AMC’s The Walking Dead has been one of my favourite television drama series for a few years now. However, while I do find the entire experience of Rick Grimes and his companions braving a zombie apocalypse riveting, that doesn’t mean the question of what happened before isn’t continuously hammering at …

Denise was in the mall together with her housekeeper. Denise was there to buy her a bedroom showcase, while checking some stuff, Tito, the son of the housekeeper was missing. Tito was being kidnapped by somebody. Denise and the housekeeper was shown the video footage in the mall. …
Family Guy
The television series known as Family Guy has proven itself to be one of the best cartoon series that is around today. Not taking anything away from the other cartoon series, but this one is more additive than so many others it is ridiculous. The characters of the Family …

Desperate Housewives
I am a big fan of the series Desperate Housewives. I am so glad it is on back to back episodes on Lifetime now. I am able to dvr two if not three different episodes every day. Desperate Housewives is on ABC normally, and the show made its debut back …
The Simpsons: Natural Born Kisser
I saw one of my favorite episodes of the Simpsons yesterday, “Natural Born Kisser.” I love this episode because it really puts what a lot of married couples (my wife and I included) do to keep the spark in their marriage into a whole new perspective.
Marge and Homer find …
The Langoliers TV miniseries
I have to admit, although Stephen King is a favorite writer of mine, I have not read every single one of his books. One that I somehow missed was “The Langoliers.” I think I read the synopsis and for some reason couldn’t get sold on the idea.
I …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Legacy of Charlie O’Rourke
Alias Smith and Jones: The Legacy of Charlie O’Rourke is the final episode of season one, and it features a superb actress in Joan Hackett. Also in the cast are Billy Green Bush in the title role of Charlie O’Rourke and J.D. Cannon, who makes his second appearance …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 10
When I watch these old shows I really like to see some actors that I have seen somewhere else, in past or in present. In this episode Roxann Dawson appears, she had roles n different shows back in 90’s but I think that most of us remembers her as …
Star Trek: Day of the Dove TV Show
I’m not a huge fan of Star Trek: Day of the Dove, which essentially pits two crews against each other, and all because of some third entity. Essentially, it’s the Enterprise crew verses the survivors of a Klingon one. Here are some of my thoughts on this …
M*A*S*H: The Gun
In M*A*S*H: The Gun, Warren Stevens guest stars as Colonel Chaffey, an injured man who checks in a valuable Colt .45 gun that he carries around with him. When the gun disappears, Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) gets blamed for the loss. The truth is that Frank Burns …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 10: Forest of the Dead
After a fantastic first parter, this conclusion feels like a step down. It’s not bad, far from it, but it just pales in comparison to the utter awesomeness that came before it.
While there are some elements of creepy in this plot, it puts more of a focus …
Bell Xpress Vu Dual Tuner PVR
I love this device. I waited for Canada to have an equivalent to TIVo and now that we do, I would never go back to normal television.
I love pausing and rewinding, recording my favourite shows and having both televisions hooked up to only one receiver (via UHF remote) is …
Doctor Who: School Reunion
The Doctor comes face to face with an old ally in this adventure. When he and Rose go undercover at a comprehensive school at the advice of friend Mickey; it’s not just a dastardly alien plot they come face to face with, when old companion Sarah Jane Smith bumps …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Narcotics TV Show
Sea Hunt: Underwater Narcotics, the 34th show to air in season three back in August 1960, surprised me a little in that it was almost a lesson on drugs. It dealt with marijuana, or rather, a hybrid form of the drug which Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) discovers underwater.
The …
Justice League Unlimited: the Doomsday Sanction
Typically “Justice League Unlimited” focused on the less famous members of the Justice league and that is good. It adds depth to the D.C. universe which isn’t in most cartoons because they need to focus on a few characters.
The second thing it does is serve as a contrast to …
“The Descent” (Season 12 Episode 2 of The Vampire Diaries)
The 12th episode of season 2 of The Vampire Diaries called “The Descent” was very moving and one of the most emotionally memorable episodes of the entire show. Not only does a myth about werewolves and vampires come to light, but the characters of Mystic Falls are in for …
The Bold and the Beautiful
The Bold and the Beautiful has been around forever and to be honest it’s a show I have been watching since I was a kid. In school holiday’s there wasn’t a lot of daytime tv on so I tuned in.
I have to say that while I liked the …
Shrek the Halls
This is the second year ABC has had the Christmas special Shrek the Halls on and the first year I got a chance to sit down and watch the entire thing.
It’s a cute special but not really anything overly impressive when compared to some of the other Christmas specials …
