This past weekend, my wife was away for the weekend so I hade a chance to watch television unencumbered by the thought process. When such opportunities occur, I often find myself watching either old TV shows, or westerns. This week I got to do both.
I find episode number four …

I was looking forward to the season premiere of Monk this time around because I know it is the final season and I was excited about where they might take the show.

It starts out with Monk and Natalie standing in line …

Ba Sing Se is under siege and it’s up to the newly named Team Avatar (that is much easier to type out than “Aang and crew”) to stop it. The King thinks he has the situation under control, sending out a platoon of his best troops, but Ty …

My daughter made me sit down and watch another episode of The Emperor’s New School with her at lunch today. But, I didn’t mind because it was actually a bit funny.
The Emperor’s New Tuber was a cute episode because it shows the pressures Malina is under to win all …

The episode starts with an intro by documentary filmmaker Desmond who every 8 years interviewed a group of Springfield children. These children were most of the Springfield people. The episode shows how the people have been dumb all along. It shows right from the time they were in kindergarten. …

Come on now, did we honestly think Cameron would step into Cuddy’s job and be an instant success at it? The second that was even suggested last week I had to laugh. Since when can any woman on the show House say no to him? Especially one that owes …

I am sure, its not because I am a nurse by profession that’s why I enjoy this TV series a lot! I mean, yes, there are a lot of medical
jargons used in their scripts, but it’s not the medical terms which would entice the watchers to anticipate the …

I think one of the best television shows of all time is “Three and a Half Men”. In fact I am watching it right now, and it is a rerun I’ve seen before, but I can’t help but laugh out loud. They have absolutely the best writers, and …

Venture Bros is quite possibly the best Adult Swim original show. It follows the adventures of a super-scientist, his two teenage sons and his bodyguard as they face assorted villains, including Dr. Venture’s nemesis, the Monarch. But while this may sound like a standard action-adventure series, it’s far …

The fifth show of season three, Highway Patrol: Mistaken Identity which stars Broderick Crawford, was a watchable entry that pretty much held my interest. Sometimes I almost was distracted, but the story kept me enticed for the most part, even though there were holes here and there in …

Most MASH episodes stick with one theme throughout; which keeps them entertaining. Some episodes; like “Baby it’s Cold Outside” try to do too much at once and that takes away from everything.
I think the main theme behind this one, as you can gather from the title, is how the …

Have you seen the new TV show “Lie to Me”? It is the new Fox hit on Wednesday nights. My husband and I really like it so far. We needed a new show for Wednesday nights and “Lie to Me” is the lucky winner. It has a great new …

“Blood Drive” is the episode of “The Office” that originally aired on NBC on March 5, 2009. This was an average episode that suffered from a lack of Andy Bernard and a very subdued Dwight Schrute.
Pros: Jim and Pam going to lunch with Phyllis and Bob Vance …

Every year, Project Runway tries to find challenges to trip up even its best designers. And, having the contestants design ring attire for the Divas of Monday Night Raw was definitely an interesting twist.
My wife does some sewing and I’ve seen her struggle with simple spandex outfits. So, trying …

I did it deliberately..what did I do deliberately? I deliberately watched Rosie’s new variety show lastnight. Why? So I could confirm for myself that there is no hope for Tv, and that Rosie should retire and go take care of her kids. It has been a long time since …

I’m still watching Scooby Doo Where Are You episodes with my daughter and got to see one I honestly haven’t ever seen before “Mine Your Own Business.”
This one turned out to be halfway decent. The gang is driving someplace (I didn’t catch where when they said it) and, because …

Stargate SG-1: Prometheus is one of the wildcards I’ve mentioned. I kind of like this one, even with the annoying constant smiling of Jonas Quinn.
Earth’s brand new spaceship, the Prometheus, is about ready for its trial run. That’s when four hijackers make their move, successfully gaining control …

There are several references to angels in this episode. Not the real angels in white with wings but angels in reference to special people such as Ginger and her acting career and Mr. Howell. Mr. Howell refers himself to an angel with his wings clipped, in other words …

Law and Order Special Victims Unit is a series that is part of the Law and Order franchise.
I myself love this show and think it has many great things to offer an audience.
The show itself focuses on sex crimes and the detectives that solve them. The show …

Sable: Copycat has a basic plot that we’ve seen a hundred times in all kinds of dramas in all genres. There’s a street-wise young girl who can talk fast and make excuse after excuse who naturally latches on to Sable. Actually, it’s Sable’s alter ego of Nicholas …

I’m not a big Bruce Weitz fan, but I have to admit up at the top that his appearance as Albert Brock in The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Murderer was outstanding. There was an energetic restraint to his performance, and while that may sound like a contradiction, it’s …

Walt Disney Presents: I Captured the King of the Leprechauns was used to promote the movie, Darby O’Gill and the Little People. It’s a black and white program that has Walt Disney introducing the audience to the film in a unique way. What he does is go …

Just when we thought the evil John Bly was gone, he’s back in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Bye Bly. Big time groan. As played by Billy Drago, he just is one weird looking bad guy. However, this is the show that gives us a …

Last night was the first time I got a chance to watch the entire Family Guy episode “Road to Germany” and, unlike other travel stories involving Brian and Stewie, this one was actually pretty good.
Of course, there wasn’t a whole lot with the rest of the family but it …

Finally, just when you didn’t think it would actually be possible, the first season improves with “Destroy Malevolence”, the third and final part to the ‘Malevolence’ plot-related episodes (preceded by “Rising Malevolence” and “Shadow of Malevolence”). In this episode, General Grevious kidnaps Padme Amidala and C-3PO, leaving it up …

First off, let me tell you all that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Usually I don’t like dramas too much, but this one is exceptional. It stars Hugh Laurie, Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Robert Sean Leonard, Jennifer Morrison, and Jesse Spencer.
The Show is all about a doctor named …

The tenth season of The Apprentice began with a focus on America’s poor economy and recession. In essence, the theme is: ‘what if you had a second chance?’ This weeks-long interview by Donald Trump is that second chance for all of the candidates. This is also …

This is one of the highlights of the series. It has that perfect blend of light hearted humor, silver age wackiness, and serious superheroism that makes any hero story worthwhile.

I happened to turn on a re-run of That 70s Show this afternoon; Fez Dates Donna and found it was absolutely hillarious.

If you’ve read my reviews before, you know that one of the themes of TV shows that I don’t like are ones that focus on any kind of hand to hand fighting, such as boxing. These stories do not appeal to me. I tune out early and …

The shows in the second season of Columbo have the teaser with clips from the show about to be seen. That wasn’t done with the first season.

Dead-Eye Dick was a fairly entertaining fifth season episode of The Virginan, and I honestly believe that one of the reasons I liked it as much as I did was that it didn’t really involve any of the new owners, the Graingers. Charles Bickford had just one scene, …
