Sony Bravia HDTV
Ever since our old TV started to show signs of breaking down I had been thinking for a replacement. I finally decided to buy a new one last month, a Sony Bravia HDTV. It was a 22 inch flat LCD, model KLV BX300. The original price was 1000 Saudi …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Outcast
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Outcast is a very disappointing episode of the series that was supposed to be an episode that explored homosexuality and an alien culture’s desire to “change” those members of the population that exhibit such “unnatural” feelings, however the means in which this …
Supergirl episode 4: Livewire, TV show
From the first 6 episodes aired so far, “Livewire” was my highlight episode because a) Helen Slater as Eliza Danvers (Kara’s adopted mom) makes for a longer appearance b) Dean Cain (seen in flashbacks) c) we finally get more glimpses into Cat Grant’s (Kara’s boss) personality, and d)Eliza and …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Puppeteer TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Puppeteer was a bit of a strange outing for this western. Then again, it’s not the first time that Have Gun - Will Travel has done strange.
There is actually something weird about a show that continues to do some odd parodies. …
Sea Hunt: Marvelous Treasure Machine TV Show
The Marvelous Treasure Machine is an episode of Sea Hunt that has also been referred to as Continental Rift. Unfortunately, shows don’t always show their name titles when they air, and Sea Hunt is one of those. Therefore, I can’t say for sure which episode title is …
Bones: The Skull in the Sculpture
As far as episodes of Bones go, “The Skull in the Sculpture” was one of the most predictable episodes I’ve seen. I took a wild guess just minutes into the show about who the killer was and was surprisingly right; though I didn’t know the motive.
In fact, everything about …
A-Team TV Episode: The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas
Hmm—¦.I was enjoying the A-Team re-runs I had an opportunity to watch this past weekend. But, I have to admit, the one entitled The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas was a bit much for me.
Basically, in this episode, Hannibal and the gang take on a group of mafia guys …
Trigun Episode 18
Triggun Episode 18 begins with a flashback over 100 years before the first episode, Vash confronts his twin brother Knives after he murdered Rem’s last relative in July City. They fight and Knives activates Vash’s Angel Arm, which destroys July and puts the $$60,000,000,000 reward on his head. …
Dexter Tv Series: Season 1
I was never a fan of any Tv series but Smallville until this show came about. My ex girlfriend told me about this show a year ago and lent me the DVD of the first season of it. The show is named Dexter and I thought it was funny …
That Girl: All’s Well That Ends
That Girl: All’s Well That Ends is the final show of the fourth season, and it’s all about Ann Marie’s (Marlo Thomas) birthday. It’s fun to watch this show because it’s the end of ‘we have an understanding’ shows for Ann Marie and Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell). …
Sea Hunt: Air Pockets TV Show
Air Pockets was the 11th episode of Sea Hunt’s second season on the air. The show starred Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson, an expert at skin diving, which had him in high demand for any business having any type of under water business. In this case, two …
The Suit Life of Zack and Cody

Outlaw: In Re: Tyler Banks TV Show
Outlaw: In Re: Tyler Banks was another good episode for this sadly now-canceled TV series that stars Jimmy Smits as ex Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza. Garza grew tired of looking at the big picture at the expense of the individual, so he resigned from the Court and …
Bones TV Episode: The Bikini in the Soup
Synopsis: The Jeffersonian team must solve the murder of a wedding planner found melted in her tanning bed in time for them to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
What I liked about this episode: I have to say that body in the tanning bed was actually pretty gross looking, especially when that …
Black Gold: New Management TV Show
Black Gold: New Management was the season 3 opener of this reality series, and things are a little different this year. Now first I have to warn that sometimes I wonder why I turn on this thing. Initially, I wanted to see some of that life of …

Local Flavor TV Show
Local Flavor with Joan Cusack is a new show on the Travel Channel that comes on after Passport to Europe on Thursday nights. I love this show. Joan Cusack is hilarious and a great host! In this show, Joan Cusack goes to various countries and then to different cities …
Due South: Mask
One of the things I really like about Due South: Mask is the Indian culture and lore that comprises a big part of the story. I’m always taken with the legends and such that are part of the very rich Indian heritage. This show is full of …
Family Guy TV Episode: Family Goy
As I mentioned in another review, I had an opportunity to watch some re-runs on TV last night. The first re-run was for the Simpsons but the other one was a re-run of Family Guy that I had not seen before yesterday called Family Goy.
This episode meant well, but …
Spongebob Squarepants: Chimps Ahoy
If you ever wonder exactly why Sandy the squirrel has made her home underwater in Bikini Bottom on the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants, you get an interesting explanation of it in the episode “Chimps Ahoy” which happens to be one of my favorites on this series.
Sandy gets a visit from …
Law & Order SVU: Sugar
Well, I obviously have watched the show Law & Order SVU a bit too much in my lifetime because the cases are becoming a bit too easy to solve.
Last night’s episode, Sugar, was a good example of this.
I didn’t even get to see the first few minutes of the …
That Girl: You Have to Know Someone to Be an Unknown
That Girl: You Have to Know Someone to Be an Unknown was a nice edition of this freshman comedy series. Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) hears about a producer casting a show and wanting to hire an unknown. She’s absolutely positive that this role is for her and …

The Apprentice: Broadway Boardroom TV Show
Donald Trump’s prolonged job interview for the recession’s apprentice continued with The Apprentice: Broadway Boardroom. Like the title might seem to indicate, this challenge involved Broadway musicals.

The Carol Burnett Show: Steve Lawrence and Paul Sand TV Show
From its seventh season on the air, The Carol Burnett Show featured Steve Lawrence and Paul Sand, along with Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Lyle Waggoner. I’ve always liked Lawrence and his wife, Eydie Gorme. I remember watching this variety series when it aired and wishing the …
NCIS Los Angeles season 3 episode 2
Wow, what a great episode. This should have really been the first episode of the season, instead of the Romanian story they actually used in the first episode. It had all the ingredients to make an electrifying show.
In this episode, a wealthy software developer is kidnapped while exiting a …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney’s Sidecar TV Show
Don Knotts once again gets to have some great moments in this fourth season episode of the comedy classic, The Andy Griffith Show. In Barney’s Sidecar, which was shown on TV initially in January 1964, Knotts’ Deputy Barney Fife character gets all riled up about the speeders on …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Lady of the Fifth Moon TV Show
For its 29th episode of season 6, Have Gun - Will Travel presents a very poetic show called The Lady of the Fifth Moon. I have a few thoughts about this episode, and they follow.
–This episode is just strewn with words of whimsy and love’s poems. It …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 3: Victory of the Daleks
This episode picks up where the last left off, with the Doctor and Amy heading back to WW2 after getting a call for help from Winston Churchill. Despite arriving a month late, things aren’t looking too bad. Well, all things considered, of course, there is still a …
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, …
CS.311 tv series
Some years ago when I was much younger, there used to be a television series that would come on local TV in the nights called “Crime Stop”. It was a show brought about by the Private Sector of Jamaica whereas brutal unsolved crimes, which were usually murders, were dramatized …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 20
So for the episode 19 I wrote that is was really a ridiculous one, but this one is not far behind.
There’s this girl in Boston who can’t find a prom date so she invites the cutes guy in the school. She is a nerd so the boy refuses her …
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Never before have I been so entertained when nothing was happening on screen. That’s what it’s like with Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the most popular show in production from William’s Street, the same company that gave us Sea Lab 2021 and
Harvey Birdman: Attorny at Law.
The show revolves around, oddly …

How I Met Your Mother - Front Porch
“Front Porch” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on CBS on March 16, 2009. This was a very funny episode with a lot of great physical comedy and a few powerful scenes. This is probably the best comedy on American television.
Pros: …
Friends season 1 episode 3
The episode 3 called “The Thumb” started very hilariously, where Phoebe got dumped by a guy in subway, and all of the friends were discussing about the nature of the guys while dating. Then we get to see that Rachel is trying to do well as a waitress, and …
The Veil: Destination Nightmare TV Show
The Veil: Destination Nightmare, the seventh episode of this 1958 anthology series was the first one where host Boris Karloff didn’t do the introduction in front of that wonderful giant fireplace. Instead, he’s in a study, walking in front of a map. I was a little disappointed …
Beast Wars - The Agenda, Part 1
Beast Wars - The Agenda, Part 1 is part one in a four part story. This episode features a former Decepticon turned Predicon, Ravage, being sent to capture Megatron and bring him back to Cybertron to be held accountable for his criminal actions. The Maximals had been expecting a …
Bones TV Episode: The Parts in the Sum of the Whole
When I found out a couple weeks ago there would be an episode detailing the first case Booth and Bones had together, I was ready to watch it. It finally aired last night and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed.
There were a couple things I liked about this …
House: The Greater Good
More and more each week, I find myself not liking the House character Cuddy. Well, to be honest, I think the entire show might be going downhill a bit since it focuses on character interaction and relationships rather than actually trying to solve some sort of medical problem.
Once again, …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - Best Day Ever
Spongebob is really down on himself, and his friends decide that they are going to give him a day for him, and make it his best day ever. This is one of my daughter’s absolute favorite episode, but I think she likes it so much for the song. I …
Beat the Bailiff (BBC)
I got into financial difficulties many years when I was a mature student with a mortgage to cope with as well. I am still suffering the repercussions now and it is true what they say, that debt can become a vicious cycle. Therefore, I really enjoy programmes …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest TV Show
While the concept of The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest has its humorous elements, at the same time it’s a bit strange. The strangeness is not because of the contest happening, but the makeup of the contestants. There’s no guideline. Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) ends …
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot deals with the latest heat wave to hit the 4077th as the Korean War rages on. It seems odd that this show precedes one that talks about a wind storm. Korea must have a lot of quick changing weather.
The thrust of None …
The X-files The Amazing Maleeni Episode
This episode of the popular 90s American television show “The X-Files” was one of the most memorable episodes. I watched it many years ago and still cannot forget it because a particular part of the introduction make me cringe. It takes a lot to make me cringe too, as …
Stargate SG-1: Crossroads
The male ogling continues in the world of science fiction with Stargate SG-1: Crossroads. Once again, the producers tried to make this soap opera a male gaping event. This time it’s not only Tok’ra Spice who was responsible, but a Jaffa priestess as well, one who has …
