The hills show
I don’t know what all the hype is all about with this show. I generally don’t really care for it. I watched a half of an episode tonight and I didn’t even watch the whole episode. I have seen it before but I am generally not interested in the …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Homecoming
Have Gun - Will Travel: Homecoming was a little different in some ways. As always, Richard Boone stars as the gunfighter named Paladin in this half-hour western series. Paladin hires out his gun, usually for a some of money that is quite large for the day. …

On Cowboy Bebop, there seems never to be a day go by that we do not learn something about the characters. Today’s focus is on Miss Faye Valentine, whom has an mysterious debt that seems to always need to be paid. We get to see an funny, yet charming …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Time Lock TV Show
From 1967, the eighth episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s fourth season is called Time Lock. It’s an okay episode that has some entertainment value going for it. The crux of the hour long science fiction show is that Admiral Harriman Nelson, as played …
Hair Battle Spectacular: Episode 4 TV Show
I’ve come a long way with my tolerance level for Hair Battle Spectacular. While it is still an outlandish show, full of arrogant contestants, it’s not that off par from any other reality show. It just takes a bit of watching to get into the speciality of …
House TV Episode: Carrot or Stick
Synopsis: House and his team must figure out what is causing a great deal of pain for a drill sergeant and later one of his cadets. In the mean time, House is working with Cuddy’s adopted daughter in an effort to help her prepare for a pre-school exam.

Teletubbies for kids
Teletubbies usually runs on the local stations. Its a very good program for babies and very young toddlers. Babies are fastinated by the teletubbies movement, singing, and dancing. They love “Nunu” which is the teletubbies little vaacum cleaner. Teletubbies love to hug and dance and play. Each episode features …
Lost Blanket (In the Night Garden series)
My 19-month old daughter is a fan of the popular children’s TV series, In the Night Garden. We even bought some DVDs for her the other day. Then we saw the book version of the show and she instantly recognised the characters and smiled when she saw it. So …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 5
During the first season the show struggled a little bit and that becomes clear in this episode. The episode itself features a storyline surrounding a con artist from France. We first see a rich woman heading off to meet up with her lover for the night. When she arrives …
Steve Wilko Show
I know that a lot of people used to watch the Jerry Springer Show, well on that show was a gentlement, and I used the word acordingly a gentleman named Steve Wilko. He was a former police officer and a former marine.
when he took over the show …
The Twilight Zone: The Mighty Casey TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Mighty Casey is an okay episode, but not a huge favorite of mine. It revolves around a new player for a baseball team who is an incredibly powerful pitcher. This brings the team up in ability and allows them to start winning.
The new …
High School Musical 3 ( Senior Year )
I was amazed with the first High School musical when I saw it on the disney channel. I grooved with the song “We’re all in this together”. There I was interested. I was also entertained with Ashley Tisdale’s snob attitude. Her bitchy styles was totally hilarious. So, when the …
Modern Family TV Show
I am a firm believer that television has gone down in quality, especially where comedy is concerned. More often than not, ratings show that the most popular shows in America are the reality shows that ridicule one celebrity or another and sitcoms are nothing more than a combination of …
Legend: Birth of a Legend
Legend only ran for one season, but it was certainly a different season. This show stars Richard Dean Anderson as Ernest Pratt, a writer with a writing block. Now Anderson here is a far cry from MacGyver, whom he’d just left behind him. He has a …
High School of the Dead Anime Series
I have never been a fan of anything that features zombie. But I happened to watch High School of the Dead because I want to watch something new in the world of anime and zombies in anime are not as scary as the “real” zombies in movies or TV …
Grey’s Anatomy Season 6 Episode 16
After watching a bunch of not so great episodes of Grey’s it was nice to see one that had a good vibe to it. Funny, light hearted and warm and this was that episode, well up until the end anyway where it got sad.
What was cool about this …
Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind
Over the past couple of years, episodes of the Simpsons seemed to be weak at best. It seems that, after all the years the show has been on the air, the writers are starting to run out of stories to tell.
The last episode I saw of this, Eternal Moonshine …
“Winx”, the cartoon
“Winx” or Winxclub is a group of fairies living in Magix, a land of magic. In Magix, they are living in a boarding school and that is Alfea. The Winxclub is made up of five girls: Bloom, Flora, Musa, Stella, and Tecna. They are five fairies who are real …
The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man
The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man has an interesting premise. Patrick McGoohan’s Number Six character wakes up to discover he is now Number Twelve, complete with a mustache (which doesn’t suit him at all, I might add). This is followed by the news that he’s supposed to switch …
The Forgotten - Football John
While the second and third issues of this new ABC crime drama haven’t been as good as the pilot, they’ve still been entertaining and have held my interest. This third entry, Football John, was quite interesting.
For me, the main thrust of The Forgotten - Football John was to …
New York Goes to Hollywood (VH1 TV program)
Just when I thought television couldn’t get any worse, I saw this show. First of all, I cannot believe that New York was even allowed to have her own reality show. But I guess the more despicable a person is, the more America wants to see her/him. …
Project Runway Season Five Episode 7
Season Five Episode 7

Rachael Zoe Guest Judge
In this episode, the designers take a trip to a secret location.
After the usual model elimination, instead of Heidi telling the designers what their next challenge is going to be, she gives them directions to follow. The directions lead the …
Ghost Hunters: The Red Room
OK, the Ghost Hunters episode “The Red Room” turned out to be a big disappointment. I don’t mind watching the show and seeing them debunk various ghosts but it is pretty sad when they don’t even have anything they can debunk.
This one involved them making a trip to Louisiana …
Outrageous Fortune
I had heard good things about Outrageous Fortune form my friends but I had never bothered to check it out as I didn’t really expect a lot from New Zealand televison.
However one day the mood struck me to get out the DVD and see what all the hype was …
Tales from the Darkside: A Case of the Stubborns
Tales from the Darkside was a horror anthology show that ran in the early 1980s to the 1990s. It was kind of corny and hokey, but it was still a lot of fun. Set up like the twilight zone, it had a different story every week. A case of …
Married with Children TV Episode: Peggy Sue got Work
Synopsis: When Marcy finds out Peggy wants a VCR and has to beg Al for it because he’s the one that makes the money, she ends up forcing her neighbor to get a job so she can pay for it herself.

Inception 4Movie Premier Special TV Show
The Inception 4Movie Premier Special is a British show that featured interviews with the cast of the new movie, Inception, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio. The movie was released in mid-July 2010.

The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses
The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses was a very good episode. While Benjamin Bratt owns this show and is hard to ignore, guest star Annabeth Gish stole this episode. She was so strong and effective in her role as the perfect wife and mother, who not so perfectly …
NCIS: A Weak Link
While on a training mission, one of the men falls from a cliff because his D-link is bad…or is it? It is up to NCIS to find out.
I guess I will give something away on this review. This is the first time that the case …
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part One
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part One is an episode that has some strengths, but unfortunately, some weaknesses as well. Let me first start with what I did not like because these are problems that bother me each and every time I watch the episode. First of all, the …
Las Vegas
I was home at lunch today and my wife, who was waiting for another show to come on, had the television show Las Vegas on TV. I have never seen this show before so I took a few minutes to watch it and see if it would be something …
What’s New Scooby Doo: Big Appetite in Little Tokyo
My daughter likes the series “What’s New Scooby Doo” so I ended up renting her the first season to watch; starting with the episode “Big Appetite in Little Tokyo”
This one turned out to be a halfway decent episode. Velma wins a robotics contest and gets to go to Japan …
The Twilight Zone: The Last Night of a Jockey TV Show
The fact that it’s the fifth season really shows for The Twilight Zone. There are several shows in a row that I just don’t like, and The Last Night of a Jockey from October 1963 is another one of them. The stories had some good actors, but …
Doreman
The Hungama is a kid’s channel where they telecast the cartoon show or serial called Doreman. The Doreman is a very interesting, entertaining and funny cartoon serial which my children love to watch. In this cartoon serial there is a robot future cat, and his friend Nobitha …
Psych: Tuesday the 17th
There aren’t many shows that do a Friday the 13th episode. But, watching Psych last Friday and seeing them do a spoof of the movie was kind of cool.
Ok, it wasn’t really true to the film. But, seeing Shawn and Gus investigating a disappearance at their old youth campground …
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 2
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 2 continues some six weeks later in the month of August. Sadly, Jean Dalgliesh and her baby both died. We don’t see any of this. What we do get is a scene between Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh and a …
House: Broken
I had some concerns about the show House when I found the first episode “Broken” was going to focus solely on Hugh Laurie’s character while checked into a mental institution. But, after watching the 2-hour season premiere last night, I will say I was impressed by it.
The episode does …
Lost
From day one the TV show Lost has become one of the most successful series ever. It had managed to captive the attention of many audiences worldwide, of different ages and different cultures. And I am a big fan myself. Part of the appeal of the show is the …
The Tribe Season 1 Episode 3
In this episode, Lex wakes up to eat breakfast when he notices the food is gone and immediately points the finger at Bray and Amber for letting him stay in the mall. Shortly after, Bray returns with Trudy and asks if she can stay because she is pregnant. Lex …
Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding
I love Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding very much. Every wedding has their own religion and tradition, and I’m not caring about that in this episode. In fact, I am so in awe of Phoebe’s dress, she looks so gorgeous and the ideology that she just wants a nice …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 7
This is one of the confusing episodes in Criminal Intent history because the story tends to jump around quite a bit and involves a number of different characters, some of whom only appear for a few minutes. The episode opens on a reporter who is being yelled at over …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 6
Now as we race against the clock to prepare a defense for mankind, the angel Ramiel is bearing down towards Nerv HQ using an shield of some kind. Now, I would like to argue that it appears to be drill with an extended reach, but for now, I will …
Due South: Easy Money
The allure of Due South: Easy Money is the flashbacks they show of Constable Fraser as a 12-year-old boy in Canada. He had run away from home because he wasn’t allowed to hunt. His friends were all hunting by that point, and he felt he had a …

CSI Season 1 Episode 16 Too Tough to Die
I really loved this episode. I did not care much for the first case, not because it wasn’t interesting and not because it was not important, but because of all the emotional story behind in. I don’t like it when the writers write some extra sentimental or righteous scenes …
Two And A Half Men: Pinocchio’s Mouth
“Pinocchio’s Mouth” is the episode of Two And A Half Men on CBS originally airing on November 17, 2008. This was just an average episode with no really big laughs.
The overall premise was not all that funny. Basically, we know that Charlie is set in his ways. …
Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk
Today was the first time I had a chance to watch the entire Monk episode “Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk” and it turned out to be very interesting.
This episode gives us a better glimpse of his deceased wife Trudy; or at least a little more information about her considering …
