Legend: The Gospel According to Legend
The Gospel According to Legend is the seventh episode of this Richard Dean Anderson futuristic western. I like this one quite a bit. A man Ernest Pratt (Anderson) knew before as a low life called Weasel Willy comes to town as Mordechai and claiming to be reformed …
Undercover Boss: Chris McKann TV Show
Chris McKann, president of 1-800-Flowers, was the center of the season finale of Undercover Boss. It was interesting to watch for a couple of reasons, one of which was the particular history of this flower company. Chris is the younger brother of the founder and CEO, Jim …
New Girl ‘Road Trip’, TV Show
New week and a new episode of New Girl, this one is entitled Road Trip. I am really excited about it. The creators of this show always find a way to make trivial things sound hilarious. For those who do not watch this show, New girl is a sit-com …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 9: The Doctor Dances
Now this is more like it. With all of the plot setup out of the way, this episode manages to deliver everything you’d want in an episode of Doctor Who. All the things that were missing have come back here to deliver a very enjoyable conclusion to …
Cowboy Bebop episode 13
As the dark yet mellow tunes of an sax playing its cold yet truthful notes to an cursed city covered in the eternal darkness of an bitter cruel winter that devourers at the minds of those who survived battles of the past and present. On Cowboy Bebop, even the …
TV Episode for House: Black Hole
I got a chance to watch bits and pieces of last night’s House episode. From what I saw of it, it was a pretty interesting show.
This time around, House and his team have to figure out what is killing a high school girl before all her organs start failing. …
Scrubs: Our Role Model
This was the best episode of the new season. I haven’t really been digging this new setup, but the show seems to be finding it’s footing. I was relieved to see Faison, Braff and McGinley added to the main credits but then it’s ruined by J.D talking …
The Twilight Zone: One for the Angels TV Show
The Twilight Zone: One for the Angels, the second episode of the series, is one my favorites. It is very well acted and it’s one that touches the heart.
The episode stars Ed Wynn as Lou Bookman, who is what they used to call a pitchman. That just …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Johnny Carson
Johnny Carson is the Man of the Week on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour, a special version of Dean’s variety show. It begins with a terrific zinger by Dean about Johnny’s marriages. What a great way to start out.
Doc Severinsen had a super bit …
House: House Training
If House were a medical drama I wouldn’t be interested in watching it, and if it were a typical soap opera type show I wouldn’t care either. I have never been interested in formulaic television. House has a formula in some shows, but the formula isn’t the show it …
Chief Engineer’s Log featurette
One of the DVD extras for the Star Trek series is the Chief Engineer’s Log. It’s actually a little hard to watch for me. James Doohan was such a force. He died in July 2005, and this was an interview taped a year and a half …
Chuck season 2 episode 5 Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer
In 1983 Jeff was a very popular guy who won a competition in a Missile Command game playing. The host at the competition asked him what was next for Jeff and he replied that he couldn’t decide because there were so many tasty options. In 2008 after obviously have …
Stargate SG-1 The Nox
“The Nox” is arguably the single, best episode of Stargate SG-1. This team episode captured the magic and essence of SG-1’s exploration of the universe. It showed the fallacy and limitations of our assumptions, while entertaining us at the same time.
The Nox are a simple, yet complex …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Curtain TV Show
The show, Sea Hunt: Underwater Curtain from May 1959, began harmlessly enough with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) in the ocean with a married couple, Ken and Joan, who were friends of his. The fun is cut short when a sort of alarm goes off, and shortly, …
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - 5/29/09
May 29, 2009 marked the end of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after 17 years. I was never a fan of Leno, and I felt NBC shenanigans resulted in him getting the job over David Letterman. The thing is, I’m not a fan of Letterman, either, …
Dead Zone Season 3, Episode 4
This was one of the darker episodes of the series and considering that the show is based on a Stephen King novel, I think that’s saying a lot. The episode starts with Johnny and Bruce driving down the road and listening to the radio. A local shock jock is …
Sea Hunt: Base of Operations TV Show
One of the things I’ve learned to like about the Sea Hunt TV series is that they oftentimes do a nice job of educating their viewers on the dangers of diving without proper training. Several subjects come up not just once, but several times over the course of …
Gilligan’s Island - Sound of Quacking TV show
After watching this episode, I found it to be rather depressing and sad. I did not enjoy watching most of this show except for the dream sequence near the end which was kind of funny. But still the suffering the castaways have endured and the uncertainty of their fate …
Grandmaster TV Programme
I would like to discuss about a TV Programme which is shown in the private channel Vijay TV (Group of Starplus). The name of the program is Grandmaster. It is a Tamil program. The program goes like this. The contestant should think of a famous personality and should give …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-16-10 TV Show
Well, Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 16, 2010 began with yet another attempt by Alexis to be a fashion plate. How is she supposed to be relatable if she is trying to look like a Fashion Week model? This is especially hard when her hairdos …
The today show
For years I have been an avid fan of the Today Show, with Matt Lauer, An Curry, Kathy Courice and Al Roker. I was saddened to see Kathy Couric leave to anchor channel 2 news. However with the new edition of Meredith Viera who I never like on the …
The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man
This is an episode of “The Twilight Zone” which both my boyfriend and I enjoy more than many other episodes. I think it has also been seen as one of the more popular episodes of the television series which aired from 1959 to 1964. This might be because this …
The Whole Truth: Thicker Than Water TV Show
Thicker Than Water is the second episode of the new series, The Whole Truth, that is produced in an intriguing two-part style where we see action happening on the prosecution side and then back up in time and see what the defense has been doing at the same …

Celebrity Big Brother 2010 (UK)
I am engrossed in the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother 2010 which, as I write, has been running for just over a week on Channel 4, with a couple more weeks to go. This is the very last one so I am trying to appreciate it before …

Season four of Have Gun - Will Travel brought this Richard Boone directed episode, The Shooting of Jessie May. Jessie May Turnbow is the subject of a newspaper article that Paladin (Boone) is reading while in his San Francisco hotel where he resides. Turnbow has built a …
Phineas and Ferb cartoon show on Disney Channel
I love anime and cartoons, as long as they are entertaining and fun to watch. I’m already 24 years old but still I happen to love watching the Phineas and Ferb cartoon show with my youngest sister (age 7) on Disney Channel. At first, I was even commenting that …
Due South: Heaven and Earth
Due South: Heaven and Earth brings the psychic realm into focus after a man has a confusing dream about a medallion, a young woman, and a Canadian Mountie.
There’s more in this episode about Ray Vecchio’s sister, Francesca. In fact, I must apologize because I believe I accidentally wrote …

Boy Meets World
Boy Meets World was a cool show. I watched it religiously when I was a kid and I loved it. It was about a boy named Cory, his best friend Shawn and his friend who later became his girlfriend Topanga.
I think Boy Meets World is the kind …
M*A*S*H: Old Soldiers
M*A*S*H: Old Soldiers is another episode where Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Potter) suddenly becomes grumpy and gets cranky with everyone. Naturally, there’s a reason for it, but what doesn’t go over well with me is that we’ve seen this a few times before with Potter. Without warning, …
Fame: A Big Finish
Fame: A Big Finish is really a nice tribute show to two talented performers, Art Carney and Ray Walston. Carney plays the school’s janitor, and Walston is a friend of his. In actuality, the two used to be rivals on Broadway, but now they are friends, and …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 13: The Stolen Earth
Wow, just wow. That’s all that can be said after watching this episode. Doctor Who finales tend to be larger in scale, but this completely blew everything else out of the water by a long shot, a looong shot. Just when you think that the show …
The Carol Burnett Show: Roddy McDowall TV Show
This episode of The Carol Burnett Show from its tenth season guest starred the versatile Roddy McDowall. There were also regulars Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Tim Conway. The monologue included Burnett’s view of vitamins and the fact that Eunice is currently her favorite character.
I wasn’t that …
The Virginian: The Mountain of the Sun
The Virginian: The Mountain of the Sun combines incredible courage and a love story. It combines for an average tale for this western TV series. I’m really not that crazy about this episode. This is a 90-minute show and this story is an hour one, so …
Band of Brothers Episode 7 The Breaking Point”
Band of Brothers Episode 7 The Breaking Point begins outside the town of Foy, constantly under fire from artillery from Germans in the town. This shows just how gruesome war is and how these brave men sacrificed their lives for this country by fighting over there in Germany.

From year three in October 1962, The Andy Griffith Show: The Cow Thief has Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) and his deputy, Barney Fife (Don Knotts), trying to solve, of all things, the theft of cows. Things are complicated, however, when Mayor Stoner (Parley Baer) calls in the …
The Tyra Banks Show
I used to like watching The Tyra Banks Show, but it seems to be getting progressively unoriginal. There are a lot of things you can talk about on a talk show, but Tyra is starting to bore me, because lately her topics have been on dating, relationship problems, …
John Doe season 1 episode 6 Low art
I am not a big fan of alternative art so I don’t even understand that way of living. This epsiode of John Doe is concentrated on John’s assistent Karen. She is an 18 year old girl who has been adopted and passing from foster parent to foster parent. In …
Sea Hunt: Sixty Feet Below TV Show
Sea Hunt: Sixty Feet Below debuted on January 4, 1958, and it was a good outing to start off with for this adventure series. I wasn’t even born when this show took to the air, so this is the first time I’m seeing the underwater themed program which …
The Simpsons: Apocalypse Cow
Yet another Simpsons episode I haven’t seen before; where have I been. If I had known about the episode “Apocalypse Cow” I wouldn’t have been so quick to write off the later seasons of the show.
This one was actually quite interesting. You have a bored Bart joining the 4-H …
Ancient Mysteries: The Quest for the Fountain of Youth: TV Show
Ancient Mysteries is a show on the History Channel. Each episode is about another event in history about which there is some controversy. The episode entitled The Quest for the Fountain of Youth tells the story of Juan Ponce de León y Figueroa, a Spanish conquistador who “discovered” …
Rock of Love
It’s hard to believe that a gaggle of beautiful women are so desperate to attract the attentions of an aging rock-and-roller that they would put themselves through all types of humiliation. Apparently, though, it is true, as evidenced by VH-1’s reality show “Rock of Love.” In each episode, …
Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar TV Show
Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) falls in love in Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar. He’s completely smitten with Lt. Mira Romaine (Jan Shutan). We know it’s a doomed romance. They never do well, not even if you get married. After all, Spock got divorced, Kirk’s …

Outlander (romance drama television series)
With all the hype surrounding the premiere of the television series Outlander, I honestly thought that it would have been something that I might enjoy. This was especially after I discovered that it would be set between post World War II and that the plot would contain elements of time …
Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC program)
My mother told me about this show and suggested that I watch it. The concept of a woman giving birth to sextuplets is fascinating in and of itself. Giving birth to more than four babies at once is fascinating. But this show takes things …
