It was a Woman of the Year (and there weren’t many of those during the years of the roast) for The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, and that woman was Joan Collins. For one of the few times in the history of the roasts, the dais was predominantly female, …

I think that this is the best soap opera to ever come out of the UK. I watched the very first episode in Feb 1985 when I was living in England, then I missed a number of years until I discovered UKTV on Foxtel Australia which has …

This episode really impresses the fact the castaways are alone and isolated. There is the world and then the castaways. The world has no idea where they are or even know about their island, uncharted. So I also feel a bit alone while watching it. The representation of the …

That Girl: The Other Woman is another good episode from the second season of this hit ABC comedy. Ethel Merman makes her second appearance of the season. Though the first one was the best of the two, this one has its own character and flavor to it.
One …

Season ten of Stargate SG-1 plods forward with an episode called Company of Thieves. About the best moment here is when Daniel is in control of the Odyssey. Of course, he’s flown the Prometheus and various Goa’uld vessels, so commanding the Odyssey should be a piece of …

America’s Next Top Model: Matthew Rolston proved to be an interesting episode for this reality series focusing on high fashion. Below are some moments and events that stood out to me as I watched the hour long series progress.

The so-so sixth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm ended on a rather strange note. For a start, Larry’s long suffering but forever faithful spouse Cheryl had finally called quits on her husband and all his hang-ups. Stranger still, Larry quickly found love again with Loretta Black and her misplaced …

I am a horror buff. And around Halloween, I will watch just about anything that has to do with ghosts, goblins, and the supernatural. Having watched Ghost Hunters for a few seasons, I have been spoiled. I love Jay and Grant’s approach to seeking out paranormal …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Fogg Bound from December 1960 is more of a humorous outing for this western series which starred Richard Boone as Paladin, the gunfighter for hire. The show is based on the Jules Verne creation, “Around the World in 80 days.”
The show opens with …

I’ve seen several Christmas episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer before. But, the episode “Pangs” is the first one I’ve seen that takes place at Thanksgiving. And, for the most part, it wasn’t too bad.
Of course, while I’m all for the spirit of political correctness, watching an episode about …

This is an amazing show that first aired in Australia, then its popularity caused it to expand to the UK and the US in mid 2007. The show is about three normal teenage girls in Australia who, through a miraculous event during the full moon in a water …

We go from a disaster occurring to 23 minutes earlier and a plane taking off. Then it’s 11 days …

This was the second serial in season eight of Doctor Who and the first to employ the 7-part format, a decision that would eventually prove to be a mistake.
When a contruction worker is killed by what appears to be a dinosaur, The doctor heads deep down into a cave …

Why did they give this woman a show? Never mind, I understand. She is one of the most hated people in urban entertainment. This is because she has unearthed some shocking and embarrassing things about the hip-hop community. It’s also because she tends …

“Yankee White” was the first real premiere of the show NCIS. While NCIS was introduced in two spin off episodes of “Jag” entitled “Ice Queen” and “Meltdown,” this was the first time viewers got to see the actors and the show flying solo.
When this episode began, there were …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Time Bomb is the second episode of the second year that this wonderful Irwin Allen science fiction series was on the air. Following are some observations about this 1965 episode:
–The opening shot in the theme is a bit different in what …

An overhanging wire in the backyard of the David household is spoiling the view, and driving Cheryl nuts. All it’ll take to get rid of it is a final signature from an adjacent neighbour; simple, if not for the fact this is Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Larry is on top …

Burgess Meredith takes center stage as the timid and often laughed at Luther Dingle in The Twilight Zone: Mr. Dingle, the Strong. This puts forth the idea that Martians show up on Earth to conduct an experiment, and they pick Dingle, giving him enormous strength which allows the …

I loved The Office from the first time I watched it on television. When Season one became available on dvd, I bought it immediately. I did not mind paying twenty dollars for eight episodes. Steve Carrell is hilarious, he is the worlds funniest boss without a doubt.
In season one …

This episode was ok to watch. It delves yet again into the history in the Gilligan’s Island world with the arrival of a lost Japanese sailor. So we get a glimpse of yet again more history which in turn broadens our view a little more. I was not impressed …

Burn Notice: Comrades brings us Michael Westen’s brother, Nate, who is far less interesting than Michael is. In fact, I don’t really care much about him. The two have a strained relationship that leaves you guessing about Nate’s true intentions the entire time.
I do like some of …

From 1992, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Some Live Like Lazarus opened in a very intriguing way. We, the viewers, walk up to a house where a woman is seated on her porch. She greets us and says she’s been expecting us. Naturaly, we want to know …

This show has now had many series. Once a year a group of so called celebrities leave Britain for Australia and the jungle for phenomenal amounts of money. How has Im A Celebrity remained so popular.
For me, this is simple. The two most famous people on the show are …

I really enjoy watching the History Channel’s Ice Road Truckers series, especially this season. I think one of the reasons is that there is a little less emphasis on Hugh Rowland, known as the polar bear. His ridiculous and near constant use of profanity just turns me …

For the third episode in a row there is absolutely no action or anything interesting in this episode. The first five minutes is used to establish that Haku is a boy despite looking and acting like a girl. The next fourteen minutes is spent explaining what should have been …

Formerly called the Sci-fi channel, this TV channel really has gone down hill. They show a few good programs, but they repeat them over and over and over…..and over. Their new programs are not as good as the old ones, either. One of the shows, a BSG …

Diagnosis Murder: Murder with Mirrors is one of my favorite episodes of this series, and the reason is due to the special guest star, Emma Samms. I adore Emma. She’s a wonderful person and a nifty actress, so when she shows up on a show, I usually …

Hello, I just finished watching this anime. It was Japanese but I had English subtitles on to understand what they were saying. I’m not actively learning Japanese, but by doing this I found that I know a lot of Japanese already and can also understand a lot of it, …

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 …

Mythbusters is an entertaining educational program airing on the Discovery Channel. In each episode, a team of “mythbusters” tests the feasibility of various myths and urban legends. For example, past episodes have tested whether a tissue box in the back window of a car can injure the …

I remember watching David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet and it was during those glamor days surrounding the hype of the movie Titanic. It was such a very good episode and Kate is such a good talker.
I love watching her on talk shows and interviews …

The Great British Bake Off continues with its fifth episode. Each outing has been hosted by two women, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, who do the background segments that give viewers some history of the area and the food being focused on in the current round, such as …

From season 4, episode 34 of the half hour police drama Highway Patrol was called Express Delivery. It was another outing that focused on a gem courier. I’d say this series did at least one of those per season, so they had to rely on presentation in …

The Dean Martin Comedy Hour put game show host Monty Hall on the hot seat for this edition of the series that dealt with roasting noted celebrities. Hall is best known for Let’s Make a Deal, though he’s done some acting and a few other game shows in …

This has got to be the stupidest of all the prime-time quiz shows. I’ve got to admit that I’m not a big fan of the all these new quiz shows, and I don’t really understand their appeal. The title actually gives you an elevated idea of the content — …

Highway Patrol: Taxi has comedian Joe Flynn playing a vicious robber and killer. I’m so used to seeing Flynn as a funny man that this is almost shocking to me. I don’t believe in all these decades that I have seen him play this kind of character. …

I�m not a huge fan of Family Guy. The jokes in it can be funny but they are a bit too crude for my taste. However, when the 100th episode was on the other day, I did decide to give it a chance. And, again, I was disappointed.
The idea …

Sometimes I wonder just how ridiculous television can become, and one of those times was when watching the first episode of Marriage Ref. Perhaps it’s better referred to as a preview episode, a special 30 minute edition that aired after the closing ceremonies of the 2010 Vancouver Winter …

One of my favorite comedy series at this point is “Mad TV” which I have noticed is broadcast on the channels Comedy Central and Fox. I do not watch it on Fox though, since I’ve noticed that it seems to be broadcast there when I am in the middle …

I have been a game show fan since the days of Queen for a Day, and that was a long time ago. to be honest,when I read the previews for Deal or no Deal I did not think I would like it, but it has become one of my …

Log 85: Sign of the Twins is the twelfth episode of Adam-12’s third season, and it’s an average one in my book. I think that might be because there’s another drug story in it, and I’m really burned out of drug stories. I’m not sure why that …

Recap: Earth-2 Wells with Barry and Cisco journey to Earth-2 and encounter their respective counterparts.

When Earth-2 Wells confessed he was responsible for Barry’s decreased speed from “Fast Lane” episode, I was very excited for this two-parter epic finally rolling in because I’ve been waiting to see more of Earth-2 …

FBI versus CIA. There is something going on in the CIA and its up to the FBI to solve the mystery. There is an informant whose life is in danger. I found a lot of this episode hard to understand. So it’s not one of my favorites. But I …

Tonight was the grand finale of the first season of Top Shot. Unfortunately, my favorite, Kelly, was already gone so I wasn’t as invested in the event as I had been in the prior episodes. There were four remaining when the show began.
They had the first elimination …

Those of you guys out there whom are fans of Friends the TV sitcom, would totally be missing so much should you guys missed watching the one on Chandler and Monica’s Wedding. The prelude to the wedding, Chandler freaking out and going missing while all the other friends try …

I finally got a chance to watch the entire Simpsons Episode The Frying Game. And, I have to say it was funny in the beginning but pretty lame by the end.
The first part of this episode was pretty cute. Homer builds Marge a pond in the back yard to …
