Ghost Hunters: Houses of the Holy
This episode of Ghost Hunters “Houses of the Holy” was somewhat interesting but not because they found anything overly impressive.
I think the best part of this episode, which involves the TAPS team investigating the home of a religious leader, is the discussion of how religious beliefs and the paranormal …
Barefoot Contessa (Food Network TV show)
I absolutely love cooking shows. But I have to admit that this one is a favorite because the Barefoot Contessa cooks with such love and commitment. IN fact, I like the show because she often cooks meals and serves her husband and friends. He always …
Moment of Truth TV show

The Office Seasons 1 & 2
This is a great television show that I was turned on to by my sister who also likes the show. If you haven’t already heard about The Office, it’s a hysterical view of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. The head boss Michael Scott bases his work ethics on fun …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Hush
Got to admit, after a disappointing episode before hand (Something Blue), we finally got an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that is very memorable; “Hush.”
I mean, how many other series have attempted to do an entire episode where none of the actors could speak a word (in this …

“Primeape Goes Bananas” is an episode of the “Pokemon” series. It’s primarily a comedy episode and it focuses on Ash’s attempts to get his hat back after the fight Pokemon Mankey steals it and refuses to give it back. Ash spends practically the entire episode attempting to attack Mankey, …
The Simpson’s: Great Wife Hope
I haven’t watched too many new episodes of the Simpson’s lately so I didn’t realize last night’s episode Great Wife Hope, was a repeat rather than a new episode (I looked it up this morning).
In any case, it really wasn’t as good of an episode as I thought it …

Stargate SG-1: Origin
Stargate SG-1: Origin is really the third part of the Avalon 1 and 2 opening episodes of the ninth season, but for some reason they used a different name.
I’ll say upfront that the only thing I really like about this show is at the end because Richard Dean Anderson …

Stargate SG1: Watergate Season 4, Episode 7
The first thing that came to mind when I watched this episode was, “That was really weird, even for sci-fi.” Not really a good weird, either. The one good thing? Mayborne is baaaack.
When SG1 tries to depart on a mission, the Stargate shuts down during the …

Columbo: The Most Dangerous Match TV Show
Not every show, even that of a series you love a lot, not be of interest to everyone all the time. Sometimes, there are those that bore or for whatever reason just don’t lure a person in. Such is the case for me with Columbo: The Most …
Car 54 Where Are You TV Episode: Get Well Officer Schnauser
Synopsis: While collecting money from the police department’s get well fund (for an injured officer Schnauser) Muldoon is mistaken for a famous bank robber and winds up with $37,000.

Burn Notice - Sins of Omission
Burn Notice has been on the USA Channel for a couple of years now, but I’d never really given it a big chance until Michael Shanks guest starred on a show last year. This season, Michael returned for three appearances. The first was just a small bit …

Everybody Loves Raymond
Everybody Loves Raymond stars Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, Doris Roberts, and Peter Boyle. Though I enjoy this series, I do not see why it has won so many awards.
It is a nice inoffensive show, but definitely not cutting edge humor. I firmly …

Law & Order SVU: Streetwise
I was watching some repeats of Law & Order SVU last night and saw one I’ve seen before but have never seen the entire episode before “Streetwise.”
This is a halfway interesting episode because it starts out with an apparent rape and murder at a park that turns out to …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 4: School Reunion
As the episode opens, we see that the Doctor is posing as a physics teacher. The role seems to suit him well, though it’s clear that something’s amiss as there are children who know far more than any child, or human for that matter, should.
It turns …
Roseanne Season Four
The fourth season of Roseanne had its high points, but it also had quite a few low points. This was the season where they introduced Mark’s brother David, which was one of the high points. I really liked this character because he added a nice little twist to the …
Harper’s Island Season Finale
Harper’s Island season finale was very good. It made me jump in a lot of scenes, fearing for the different safety of the victims and the remaining ones in the episode. It was a really close call for Abby and Jimmy and besides them, Shea and Madison survive as well.
Wakefield …

Diagnosis Murder: The Last Laugh: Part 1 TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: The Last Laugh: Part 1 is a very memorable episode, or rather both hours are. I’ve always recalled this one. One of the reasons is that it guest stars Dyan Cannon, and she is fabulous in this murder mystery. Her Bonnie Valin character is …
Project Runway (Even Designers Get the Blues)
This episode of Project Runway was definitely worth watching this week. Rather than getting to work with their choice of fabric, the designers were forced to use denim; more specifically, Levi denim taken from blue jeans and other denim outfits.
Of course, you have the usual trash talking throughout the …
Super Nanny show
Super Nanny (with child-care expert and author, Jo Frost) is a reality show that offers more than its share of redeeming value.
Imported from the UK, this program features a different family each week, each having its own set of child behavior problems. Jo spends some time observing the …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 2: KillerWatt
Now this is how you make a Ghostbusters episode! No ridiculous comic relief that doesn’t work, but a crisis that tests the Ghostbusters’ abilities and an opponent who forces them to think outside the box.
The opening scene establishes the threat as a city worker is seemingly attacked …
Family Guy: Chitty Chitty Death Bang
I hadn’t seen the Family Guy episode Chitty Chitty Death Bang until last night and have to say I missed out on a great one.

Friends
When I first started watching Friends I was thirteen and I loved the show. I watched it for ten eyars and I still love the show to this day. Even the reruns make me laugh.
What’s great about it is that they talk about situations that happen in …
Stargate SG-1: Camelot
Season nine of Stargate SG-1 comes to a dramatic close with an episode entitled Camelot. Naturally, it’s a cliffhanger with the conclusion being the opener of the tenth season.
The worst thing about the episode is Claudia Black’s return as Vala, standing very pregnant as she watches destruction unfold. …
Burn Notice: Seek and Destroy
Perhaps it was me but I didn’t care all that much for Burn Notice this week. It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with the story, it just didn’t catch me right. They are still looking for t he man who tried to blow up Michal at the end …

The Event: Protect Them from the Truth TV Show
My problem with The Event: Protect Them from the Truth, which is the third episode of the series, is that we open with another big crash, probably intentional, but the point is that Jason Ritter’s Sean Walker survives, again, when everyone else dies. How many lives that he …

In Six Kilos, McGarrett …
Star Trek: The Trouble with Tribbles TV Show
Star Trek: The Trouble with Tribbles is arguably the most popular episode in the history of Star Trek. The show is so entertaining and has a lot of humor within its hour. Tribbles, cute little white fur balls, are adorable. I own a couple myself.

From its fifth season, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trap was the 24th episode, airing in March 1962.

Project Runway: There’s a Pattern Here TV Show

Fox News Channel
Fox News Channel is an interesting phenomenon to watch, if anything. Famous for their slogan “Fair and Balanced,” they are anything but. Bias resonates through almost every word iterated by one of the Channel’s many columnists. The half-hour news reports are fairly standard fare, but the …

From January 1961, The Andy Griffith Show: The Horse Trader is another show where Sheriff Andy Taylor learns a lesson from his young son, Opie, who is brilliantly portrayed by Ronnie Howard, as he was known back then. It’s more or less a tale of backing up your …
The Price is Right
I used to love this show! Back when Bob Barker hosted it it was a lot more fun and I loved the banter between Bob and the contestants while they played their games.
Now, however, I can hardly stand to watch the show. I catch it every now and then …

MTV has gone reality TV crazy and now they have given Paris another reality show where contestants are now vying for the spot to become Paris’ new BFF. What exactly is BFF really? As far as I know, the acronym BFF is Best Friend Forever, so that would mean, …
