The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street TV Show
I don’t like watching The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, not because the show is bad, but because it’s so accurate. The show is very well done and has some very believable acting within it. I just hate seeing the harshness of man …
A Taste for Death - Part 4
Sadly, A Taste for Death - Part 4 is too slow and uninteresting to float my entertainment boat. The pace is one of a crawl, even with the discovery that Inspector Adam Dagliesh (Roy Marsden) makes. Murder mysteries can be long in the tooth, but this tale …
Bones TV Epiosode: The Mastodon in the Room
Well, I didn’t know what to expect from last night’s season premiere of Bones last night; mostly because, how last season ended really made me think the show would start going downhill in a hurry.
I’m still not convinced that isn’t the case. But, I will say the episode “The …
House M.D. Season 8 Episode 1
The first episode of season 8 of House is a prime example of why I love the show so much. House is unlike any other show I have seen on TV- it is daring, unconventional, witty, sarcastic and completely unpredictable. Predictability is a core element in creating a successful …
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 15 Unfinished Business
I thought it was a pretty decent episode. I enjoyed it, although I felt it was a little bit slow. And despite the fact that Reid is supposed to have these special mental skill and photographic memory, I thought it was just a little bit too much how he …
Gilligan’s Island - Hi Fi Gilligan TV Show
This episode is great! You know there is not even one dull moment in the whole show, full of surprising events that keeps you guessing what will happen next. It plays as more an outrageous show and yes is unrealistic, but still good. Gilligan of course gets into trouble, …
Home Improvement: Young at Heart
It’s good working half days for a week because I get to see some shows I might not get a chance to see when I’m working all day (too bad that starts next week). One of the shows, Home Improvement, is one I’ve missed a bit.
The episode that showed …

Bones TV Episode: The Woman in the Sand

The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Remember the Alimony (Episode)

The Two Coreys: Episode 1.4 - Surprise Party
Is it me or is it more than a coincidence that Corey Feldman receives the poster for his new movie, “The Birthday”, on Corey Haim’s 35th birthday? Hmm… Oh wait, this is reality television, everything is like 50% planned or something, right? So yeah, in that case, it does …

The X-Files Jersey Devil Episode

Gilmore Girls TV Series

Written by Karen Hall, M*A*S*H: Picture This is just about pure comedy. There’s not really any drama to it, which is unusual since the show loves to examine more serious issues along with giving up its humor.

The Office: Branch Wars
The Office is one of the more hit or miss shows on television in my opinion. It’s not even just from episode to episode. There will be four or five jokes in a single scene and only one or two will be funny, but those jokes can make me …
Stargate SG1: The Other Side
“The Other Side” is definitely one of the Stargate SG1 episodes that really makes you think. It is also one that shows the big difference between Daniel’s priorities and those of the rest of the team.

Dirty Jobs (Discovery Channel TV show)
I happened to catch an episode of this show when the host teamed up with a group of pestilence control workers. These guys wore daunting looking black T-shirts and tackled the worst jobs you could think of. The episode I caught featured a home that was …

This was a definite improvement over the pilot. In this episode, they introduced all the writers, and while many of them feel like stereotypes that is the nature of new characters on TV it seems. You have to give people something to hang onto immediately and they all tend …

Mr. Monk and the Leper
I am a huge fan of the television series Monk. However, Friday’s episode, Mr. Monk and the Leper was a bit of a disappointment.

Back to the action, or so it seems, episode fifteen opens with Kakashi and Zabuza starting their fight. Kakashi tries to end it quickly with his sharingan but Zabuza moves in for the attack, and stereotypically the fight is a single move over-exaggerated to seem dramatic and exciting, and, …
