A Very Supernatural Christmas is a third season episode of the CW series “Supernatural”, and the first time that the show had a holiday themed episode. Previously they attempted to do a few different holiday episodes, but this time they went with Christmas. I have to admit that I …

Jeremiah: City of Roses
“I am alone. Somebody come get me.” This is the phrase that defines this show, and it’s a powerful one.
In my opinion, Jeremiah: City of Roses has been the best show of the series thus far, and in it, Malcolm-Jamal Warner really shines. When we first …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Telly Savalas TV Show
Kojak himself, Telly Savalas, was roasted by a dais of entertainers on this outing of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was filmed in Las Vegas. The Man of the Hour took his seat while being honored, zinger style, by those on the dais. Now those on …
Stargate: Infinity: The Long Haul TV Show
I love the very first image we see in Stargate: Infinity: The Long Haul. It’s just a lovely mix of colors and is beautiful to look at. Too quickly, we’re drawn into the latest effort to escape their attackers. This half hour entry is the last …
Stargate SG-1: Moebius Part 1
Stargate SG-1: Moebius Part 1 continues the arc that I’m not fond of, even though, as I’ve said, there are some good moments. Basically, SG-1 goes back in time to get a ZPM and messes things up.
Here’s the good and bad of this particular show:
–Another recurring character is …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: No Way Back TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea ended its network run with this 26th episode of this final fourth season with a show called No Way Back. This would be the final time that viewers would see Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and my show favorite, David …
Star Trek: This Side of Paradise TV Show
Star Trek: This Side of Paradise is one of the most well known episodes in which we see another side of the rational and logical Mr. Spock, played so aptly by Leonard Nimoy. It’s safe to say that this Spock is not like the normal Vulcan we see. …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Amphibians, episode 26 from March 1965, guest stars Skip Homeier as Dr. Jenkins, Curt Conway as Dr. Winslow, and Zale Parry as Angie. Now the only reason I know Zale is from watching Sea Hunt, which is currently airing on ThisTV. …
Cobra 11 TV show
I don’t usually watch tv shows and specially not those about the police.I saw a few episodes of Cobra 11, a german police movie and the only thing I remember is that there are 2 protagonists, one of them is really cute and they have to make sure that …
Jenny Craig/ Kierstie Alley Commercials (tv)
So, she’s done it. Alley’s finally shed those excess pounds, and attributes her new body and overall look to Jenny Craig, huh? The new Jenny commercials, which use Alley to be their spokes person really drive me nuts. Not only do I personally, find them rather …
The Phone show
I’m almost afraid to admit that I’ve been watching The Phone. After all, it’s on MTV and it’s from the mind of Justin Timberlake. Now that’s scary!
The Phone is an overly dramatic program that has made stunt people very happy. The stunt bill must be enormous for …
X-Files season one Episode: Squeeze TV show
The X-Files was a well-known TV show that ran in the 1990s. It featured actors David Coveney and Gillian Anderson as special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. These two agents were assigned to the X-Files — cases that the FBI was investigating that concerned paranormal phenomena …
A Miser’s Brothers’ Christmas
A Miser’s Brothers’ Christmas is a 2008 sequel to 1974’s awesome, “The Year Without a Santa Claus”. Unfortunately, I’m nowhere near as taken with it as I was with the 1974 entry.
While Mickey Rooney returns as the voice of Santa and pulls it off beautifully, I found most …

Bones: The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
I came home at lunch today and my wife was watching the Bones episode I taped for her last week. I didn’t get a chance to watch it then so I sat down to watch it with her.
It was a halfway decent episode.
Basically, you have a neighborhood throwing a …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 20
So for the episode 19 I wrote that is was really a ridiculous one, but this one is not far behind.
There’s this girl in Boston who can’t find a prom date so she invites the cutes guy in the school. She is a nerd so the boy refuses her …
The Simpsons
The Simpsons is an animated comedy about the life of a family. I find the show to be funny, witty and hugely entertaining.
The main characters on The Simpsons are Marge, Homer, Bart and Lisa and every half hour episode focuses on something happening in their lives which often …
The Simpsons: That 90s Show
Of all the things I’ve seen Marge and Homer’s marriage have to survive in the almost two decades worth of Simpsons episodes, I never realized he almost lost her to a college professor; something that is revealed in the episode entitled “That 90s Show.”
The great thing about this episode …
Everybody Loves Raymond TV show
Everybody Loves Raymond is based on the comedy of stand-up comedian Ray Romano. I got hooked on this show when a friend of mine who hardly ever watches this TV starting telling me about it. I figure if he likes it, there’s got to be something worth watching here. …

“Identity” is the seventh episode of the eighth season of Smallville on the CW. This is a great episode because addresses how reckless Clark is zipping around Metropolis without taking any steps to guard his identity.
Jimmy Olson steps up to the plate and figures out what almost everyone …
The Bachelor Pad: Episode One TV Show
What on earth possessed me to watch the opening episode of The Bachelor Pad? I can’t believe I did it. It was an enormous waste of time. The thing is, I don’t even watch The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. I have seen maybe 3 full …
Spongebob Squarepants: Truth or Square
I have to admit, that episode of Spongebob Squarepants “Truth or Square” was pretty decent.
Basically, the Krusty Krab was celebrating an anniversary and Spongebob and friends end up trapped inside the freezer and ultimately the pipes of the restaurant trying to find a way to escape. Along the way, …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney’s Replacement TV Show
It’s amazing how many of the opening scenes to The Andy Griffith Show are classic moments, vintage scenes that are among the show’s very best. In fact, I’ll take it to a broader scope and say they are among the finest comedy that TV has to offer. …

Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Ties That Bind
“The Ties That Bind” is a pretty bland episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. The episode features Miracle Man, Big Barda and the Flash. Mister Miracle struck me as uninteresting, and Big Barda just seems to be a rip-off of Wonder Woman. Plus, the main villians …
Here Come the Brides: Loggerheads
Here Come the Brides: Loggerheads gives us some tension between the show’s three heroes. I’m referring to Jason, Joshua, and Jeremy Bolt, played respectively by Robert Brown, David Soul, and Bobby Sherman. We learn early on that Joshua has a new idea about profit sharing that he …
American Idol with Ellen Degeneres
Ellen Degeneres has taken Paula Abdul’s place on American Idol as a judge for season 9, and the world finally got to see her debut on February 9th. I was really looking forward to seeing her as the new judge, and she definitely didn’t disappoint. She brought …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Curtain TV Show
The show, Sea Hunt: Underwater Curtain from May 1959, began harmlessly enough with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) in the ocean with a married couple, Ken and Joan, who were friends of his. The fun is cut short when a sort of alarm goes off, and shortly, …
Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman
This show revealed a different Superman which I rather liked. The show starts with Clark Kent moving to Metropolis, starting work at the Daily Planet, meeting Lois Lane, and creating Superman. Throughout the show, Clark goes through villain after villain and at the same time you see …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Krab Borg
My kids spent a great deal of time watching Spongebob Squarepants over the course of the weekend because a couple of stations had marathons on and it was too cold to send them outside.
As is usually the case, the same few episodes aired at least three different times over …
Columbo Season 1 DVD Collection
As a child, it was a family ritual to watch the Columbo on TV together. So when Season 1 of Columbo was available on DVD, I bought and fell in love with Columbo all over again. It’s a five disc collection and has 8 episodes, each about …

Columbo: A Stitch in Crime TV Show
Columbo’s A Stitch in Crime from season two has been a show I’ve always remembered. Leonard Nimoy guest starred as a surgeon who attempts to kill his mentor via certain actions on the operating table, and the only one who believes that is Sharon Martin, a surgical nurse. …
Survivor Grasps At Straws (tv show)
I find Survivor’s latest ploy to get ratings rather stuid. They would have been better off removing the show from Prime Time about a year after it began, and gone out with dignity and grace. Now, this season, they are attempting to have people from different cultural …
Simpsons: Double Double Boy in Trouble
It was only a matter of time before The Simpsons crossed the threshold and do the whole “we discovered a twin for one of the characters so let’s have them switch places.”
Yep, it’s been done dozens of times before so why not do it on a show that once …
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
Most of us “Baby Boomers” grew up watching “The Tonight Show” when it was hosted by the inimitable Johnny Carson. Johnny was classy, witty and talented enough to make even the dullest guest look fascinating. Whenever you heard the show’s theme song start, you’d feel so excited, …
Fame: A Special Place
Fame: A Special Place is the sixteenth and final episode of Fame’s first season on television and it has some interesting moments, or not, that need to be addressed.

CSI: New York: Point of View TV Show
I’ve always wanted to like CSI: New York because Gary Sinese is such a talented, dynamic actor. I actually do like, but I’ve never been hooked into it. I watched it more the first season when Sinese’s character was more in mourning over his wife, who had …
Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 7
Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 7 doesn’t disappoint. It continues the shrewd progression of former teen stars on their quest for a comeback. Some are still fighting the ‘new’ Hollywood, but others are truly embracing what they need to do to succeed.
Billy Hufsey, of Fame …
Friends Episode: Phoebe and her Bike
Friends Episode: Phoebe and her Bike is awesome because of the fact that Phoebe is such a ’sore loser’ when Ross tries to teach her how to ride a bicycle. She falls down the bicycle and that scene was truly funny! Ross feels so bad that she falls …
Sea Hunt: Hard Hat TV Show
Sea Hunt: Hard Hat is an episode I liked overall. In the episode, Gene Roth portrays Prof. Roland Cathcart, an archaeologist. He hires Nelson to retrieve secret documents aboard a submarine. The sub is German and was used in World War II. The curiosity was what …

Beast Wars - Before the Storm is an episode that serves as a lead-up to the two part season finale. The last three episodes are essentially all connected, and actually, the events that are set into motion in this episode will not be resolved until the end of the …
