Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 2: Partners in Crime
The still companionless Doctor finds himself investigating a new diet pill. As it happens, Donna Noble, the runaway bride, is investigating the same matter. You’d think that they would bump into each other right away so that the plot could get moving, but they don’t realize the …
Highway Patrol: Witness Wife TV Show
From December 1957, the 9th episode of Highway Patrol’s third season was called Witness Wife. Basically, the title comes from a woman who ends up giving potentially harmful information to the killer, unaware of who he is. In fact, she pretty much points him towards her husband’s …
Bones Season 5: Harbingers in the Fountain
I waited excitedly for the first episode of Bones Season 5. The blogs were buzzing that Cyndi Lauper was going to be the episode’s guest as a psychic and this added to my excitement. I have not seen her seen the 80s when Girls Just Wanna have Fun days …
Stargate Atlantis: Remnants
Stargate Atlantis: Remnants continues the exploits of the Atlantis team in the Pegasus Galaxy. In this 15th show of the farewell season, the opening scenes have my head spinning. There’s just way too much going on, all presented in very short segments. More time needed to …
Project Runway: What a Woman Wants
Well, that was a somewhat interesting Project Runway episode last night; What a Woman Wants.
The designers are always asked to make outfits for celebrities and various other people and rely on their models to sell their designs. So, it was an interesting twist last night when their models suddenly …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Black Sheep TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Black Sheep was of interest to me, primarily for guest star Patrick Wayne, who is one of the sons of the great John Wayne. I met Patrick a couple of times at functions, so I get a kick out of seeing him on …
Seven days Season 3 Episode 15 Crystal Blue Persuasion
Seven days is a Sci-Fi show about a secret government organisation that with help of alien technology sends Frank Parker back in time when the national security is in jeopardy
This episode was very ridiculous but also very interesting in the same time. The general idea was taken from the …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Flashpoint
“Flashpoint” is the 23rd episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. This is easily one of the best episodes of the season, even without a big knockdown dragout fight between the heroes and any supervillian. The episode is so great because it starts the beginning of …
Battlestar Galactica: Sometimes a Great Notion
I was as excited as any fan for the return of Battlestar Galactica, but I also knew that this first episode wasn’t likely to be a fun episode. That isn’t to say that it isn’t good, it was an excellent episode, but I can’t say that I enjoyed it.
This …

Hustle Season 2
I am writing this review on great BBC series Hustle Season 2. The main reason for writing this review is that this is unmatchable TV series and most of the people don’t know about it. The theme of the show is great and it’s about 5 people who find …

From season two, M*A*S*H: Radar’s Report is a variation of Hawkeye Pierce’s letters home to his father. This time, it’s Company Clerk Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) typing up a regular activity report on behalf of Colonel Blake (McLean Stevenson) to send in.

Grey’s Anatomy
I know that this is one of the most popular shows on TV but I really don’t like it. Just yesterday I saw that there were some reruns of this show and I started thinking to myself: ‘Why don’t I like this show?’ So I started watching the episode …
Joey Tribbiani
As much as you would like to knock Joey Tribbiani on the head most of the time, you can’t help feeling a bit of love for him. He is the struggling actor in the hit series sitcom Friends, which is not in the making anymore. Such a pity, …

In CHiPs: Ride the Whirlwind, which is technically the last episode of season two, we get another new concept, that of riding trail bikes to try and capture the bad guys who using off road areas for their crimes. The program is initiated by Jon Baker (Larry Wilcox). …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 7 - Murder Sings the Blues
That was a strange episode and I really liked it. I wonder if those things are based on real things that happen in New York City or is it just a pure imagination. I guess to come up with something believable you have to base it on something real, …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Pokemon Emergency! (Episode)
“Pokemon Emergency!” is the second episode of the Pokemon television series and it picks up pretty much right where the previous episode, “Pokemon, I Choose You!” left off. This episode covers almost as much ground as the first episode does, and it really is an half-hour that goes by …
The Twilight Zone: Twenty Two TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Twenty Two should have been done in October. It would have made a wonderful Halloween edition for this science fiction series. It’s done a super job of scaring me from the moment it first aired. It has that freaky, spooky feeling to it, …
Bones: The Dwarf in the Park
Well, last night’s episode of Bones, The Dwarf in the Park, wasn’t too bad. Basically, they found the bones of a midget wrestler under a city street (after a sink hole formed, scary) and, while investigating, found a list of possible suspects in his murder; ranging from his replacement …
On the Run- Globetrotter
On the Run- Globetrotter
This is yet another great episode of the show On the Run- the show that tells the stories of real life sophisticated and unusual criminals, most of which love to live the high life on someone else’s money.
In this episode we get to hear the story …
Washington Journal TV show (C-Span)
The ‘Washington Journal’ is very informative and insightful! I try to watch it as often as I can and it’s definitely one of my favorite programs. I like it because unlike many other cable news programs it’s fact-oriented. I’ve noticed …

Ghost Hunters International
Last night was the first time I actually took some time to watch the show Ghost Hunters International with my wife. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible program. But, I’m not sure if it was as good as I expected it to be.
I’ve watched the American version of the show …
Gilligan’s Island - Lovey’s Secret Admirer TV Show
This time Gilligan is not the main character but instead Mrs. Howell. And she is enchanted for the first part of the episode and then learns a life lesson by the end. I do get to see Mrs. Howell’s sweet side and her compassion and attraction to love and …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Two: Frankendoodle
I would have to say that this is one of the worst Spongebob Squarepants episodes I have ever seen. I am a huge fan of Spongebob, but I truly feel like this one was a disappointment big time. In this episode, a pencil falls from the sky in lands …
Wagon Train: The Bleeker Story
This is a non-Robert Fuller episode of Wagon Train, except for a piece of stock footage inserted at the tail end of the show for comedic effect. The man had a great contract, that’s for sure. The Bleeker Story is the story of a family that Duke …
Last Exile TV Show
This anime is absolutely beautiful in every way. Typically I do not like the ‘techie’ type animes, and I thought Last Exile was one of them, so it took me a while to come around to watching it. However promos can be deceiving and this is a …
Centennial: For as Long as the Waters Flow
The worst thing about Centennial: For as Long as the Waters Flow is that we’ve lost the wonderful character of Elly Zendt, played so nicely by Stephanie Zimbalist. In reality, she was only around for one episode and for such a great character, it was a shame to …
General Hospital tv show
One of the best dramas on television is absolutely General Hospital. I think that that soap oprah does a fantastic job of mixing enough soap action with intense action scenes to fascinate and captivate both men and women alike. The show has a great group of actors and …
Lost - First Season
I could tell by the way the first episode began that Lost was going to be a great hit for the producers at ABC.
The story begins as a plane crashes into a lost island, several hours off the original course, making it difficult to envision a rescue. We are …
Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods - final cut
In 2009, Brad Wright decided that the original movie pilot for Stargate SG-1, called Children of the Gods, wasn’t good enough. There were a lot of things he didn’t like about it, so MGM gave him the green light to re-edit the film, giving us this final cut …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Becoming, parts one and two
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Becoming,” which is the season 2 finale of the series, is a two part episode. Today I’m going to tackle it as one whole episode instead. And, I have to say, while a bit weak in some aspects, it really does set the …

Til Debt Do Us Part
This is a fun show that I think I learn a lot from. While a lot of the advice is not necessarily applicable to my life, it’s interesting to see what other people have done and what the solution is.
There is of course a certain sense of humour …
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 …
Legends of the Wild Wild West
I am always up for a good western (leftover from a father who loved a decent cowboy movie). Being a woman, not only do I appreciate a good western, I appreciate a good cowboy with bad boy appeal, you know the kind that romance novels are written around.
“Legends …

I love to watch cartoon shows, as a grownup it seems little childish, but I love to watch cartoon shows, and I can’t control it. In these days I am watching a really funny cartoon show called “Shinchan”.It is a story of a little boy named “Shinchan”, who is …
The Virginian: The Devil’s Children
When I first watched The Virginian: The Devil’s Children, I kept thinking this wicked stepchild, aka: the villainous of the piece, looked darn familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out. Then I looked up the credits and realized it was Joan Freeman, guest starring as a bratty girl …

Stargate SG-1 followed the adventures of a U.S. Air Force team, titled SG-1, that was assembled to fight evil alien parasites, named Goa’uld, who use humans as hosts and for slave labor. The stargate, an interplanetary portal that was unearthed in the movie, was the team’s sole method …
