Scare Tactics
A TV series that tries to bring the fear to viewers by showing a host of little skits where they put people in compromising situations just see what they would do in order to preserve their own sanity and lives together. Usually the situations that they encounter are very …
Legend: Mr. Pratt Goes to Sheridan
One of the things that worked against Legend is that it was on the new UPN network. They didn’t have the stamina to let the series grow and really find its strength. Still, what we do have are a collection of tales in which actors Richard Dean …
Celebrity Fit Club
Celebrity Fit Club is another reality show that is featured on the music channel VH1. The show features 8 movies stars or singers who are overweight and who want to lose weight the right way. So for 90 days they decide to take on a boot camp …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Nineteen —“ Machismo
This episode was set in Mexico. It wasn’t one of my favorites, but I will take two bad episodes out of twenty two. The unsub was killing elderly women. Who kills grandmas? That’s just plain wrong! But I guess that was the point. While it was fun to …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 60 (Anime)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 60 has Ed and Al facing off with Pride while May tries to take on Father. Meanwhile the Ishvalans are preparing a transmutation circle to help Scar.
This episode was incredible. The twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat and …
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Lucent Dossier TV Show
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Lucent Dossier was probably the most unique of all the Top Chef shows from all seasons, and that wasn’t necessarily a good thing. In fact, it brought up a lot of questions. These pastry chefs have more emotional issues than the regular top …
The Twilight Zone: Still Valley TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Still Valley is another one of the shows that I’ve never been all that crazy about. It’s a little spooky and weird, not in a scary way but just in its telling. It involves some black magic, and that’s not my thing either.
This is …
Life on Mars season 1 episode 15 All the Young Dudes
An Irish gang is hijacking VCRs although they don’t actually call those things VCRs back in 1973, they call them gizmos. The detectives from 125th squad arrest some of them but they want to put a stop to it so Sam went under cover with the gang to investigate. …
Stargate SG-1: The Scourge
Stargate SG-1: The Scourge is one of the better and more intriguing shows in the ninth season of SG-1. In it, SG-1 is ordered to escort members of the IOA Committee off-world where things naturally go wrong. The fun starts in the gate room when Daniel and …
NCIS: Chained
“Chained” was a Tony-centric NCIS episode, so naturally I loved it. But that is not the only reason that I enjoyed this episode.
“Chained” revolved around the storyline that Tony was undercover as a felon. One man involved in taking things from the Navy was arrested on another …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: And So Died Riabouchinska TV Show
Oh no. It’s another story about a ventriloquist and his wooden doll, this one a female. I really don’t like these stories. I recently watched all of The Twilight Zone and there were several shows of this theme there. Then there was one on Mrs. …
Stargate SG-1: The Quest Part 2
Stargate SG-1: The Quest Part 2 was the beginning of the final ten episodes of SG-1 and the conclusion to the mid-season two-parter.
Here is the good and the bad:
–Daniel with Merlin is great. This is a reminder of who Daniel really is and why we love him. …
Sea Hunt: The Lost Ones TV Show
In 2010, Jeff Bridges finally won an Academy Award. Decades earlier, he was playing a young boy in his father’s TV series. The series was an underwater adventure show called Sea Hunt, and the star was Lloyd Bridges. Both of Lloyd’s sons, Jeff and Beau, had …
Devious Maids (tv series)
I discovered a lot of television series last year, but one of them that remains my favourite is “Devious Maids”. This is despite its very close resemblance to one of those daytime soap operas.
I would watch “Devious Maids” every Sunday night when it would air on Lifetime, and I …
The Fall Guy: The Human Torch TV Show
One thing about The Fall Guy, it has an old school opening that you just don’t see much anymore. The full theme plus standard intro in this first season lasts almost three minutes. In this era of 10 second, title only spots, this feels like forever. …
MASH -Season 1
Season one of MASH was and OK season by the standards of the show. The first episodes, starting with the Pilot attempted to keep the characters similar to what was in the movie but, by the end of the first season, many of the extra characters (like Ugly John) …
Merry Christmas Drake & Josh
I’ll admit it, I’m getting a bit worn out with all the Christmas specials lately; most likely because I’m already getting tired of all the snow. But, I have to say I liked the Merry Christmas Jake & Josh special that was on TV last night.
My daughter used to …
Stargate SG-1: Icon
This unusual episode shows what can happen when Earth sticks their collective noses into another world’s business, something Jack points out to Daniel at one point. Every time they go through the Gate, they impact the world they’re traveling to. This show, Icon, is really the first …
Kim Possible TV show
This kids’ show is great for kids. WHile the heroine, Kim, is a cheerleader, she also gets good grades, is a good friend to her friends, and saves the world through her website.
The best part of the show might be her best friend and sidekick Ron’s pet naked mole …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Eleven —“ Blood Hungry
I almost thought this episode was about someone who thought he was a vampire. But someone was breaking into places and hacking people up with tools and then taking internal organs from the victims. Later, the team discovered that whoever was doing it, was actually drinking the blood as …
Fireball XL5
The series Fireball XL5 is just awesome. What is odd about my affection for this puppet series is that I’m not really into puppeteering at all, neither did I watch this series when it was first on back in 1962-1963. At least, I don’t recall watching it, …
Family Guy: Road to Germany
Last night was the first time I got a chance to watch the entire Family Guy episode “Road to Germany” and, unlike other travel stories involving Brian and Stewie, this one was actually pretty good.
Of course, there wasn’t a whole lot with the rest of the family but it …
M*A*S*H: The Longjohn Flap
In M*A*S*H: The Longjohn Flap, the 4077th is going through a cold spell, and everyone is cold as can be, with the exception of Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), who is warm as can be, thanks to a pair of longjohns that his father sent him. Right away, Trapper …
Blacke’s Magic: Prisioner of Paradise
Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) and his father, Leonard (Harry Morgan), take off for the island of San Marcos in Blacke’s Magic: Prisioner of Paradise. The reason for the visit is the arrest of long sought criminal. Michael Constantine played the small role well. He didn’t have …

Highway Patrol: Motorcycle A TV Show
Highway Patrol: Motorcycle A was one of the more interesting first season outings for this half-hour crime show that centers on the California Highway Patrol. However, while it’s interesting, I cringed at many elements of it.
First of all, the owner of the care, Bernie Sills (played by Jack …
That Girl: I Am Curious Lemon
In That Girl: I Am Curious Lemon, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) takes care of her cousin’s daughter for a week. The young girl’s name is Caroline, and she’s played by Cindy Eilbacher. I first remember seeing Eilbacher with her sister, Lisa, in an episode of Alias Smith …
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Predator/Red Sky at Night TV Show
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Predator/Red Sky at Night was the fourth show in this new series that airs on Syfy. Now this show is a little like the History Channel’s “Chasing Mummies” in that it’s questionable just how accurate of a show it is.
When I watched the …
Jetsons TV Episode: Jane’s Driving Lesson
My daughter had on cartoons this past Saturday and was watching several re-runs of the show The Jetsons. I really wasn’t paying too much attention to what she was watching until one episode came on TV; Jane’s Driving Lesson.
OK, I know the episode is pretty sexist and relies on …
Bridezillas (Five TV)
According to Wikipedia, ‘Bridezilla’ “is a generic term used to describe a difficult, unpleasant perfectionist bride who leaves aggravated family, friends and bridal vendors in her wake”, so we can expect a reality show called ‘Bridezillas’ to pick some pretty extreme personalities in order to make a good show, …

Mission: Impossible: Banshee TV Show
The ninth episode of the second season of the new Mission: Impossible was called Banshee. I loved the reincarnation of this series. With Peter Graves on board once again as Jim Phelps, it had quality. I also loved the original series star Greg Morris had his …

Gilligan’s Island - St. Gilligan and The Dragon TV Show
Here we have chaos again. Chaos everywhere. The Castaways split apart into two groups, women and men. The men think the women will learn a lesson of humility and that women should be subservient to men. This kind of made me a little upset the kind of mental thought …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Incident at Borrasca Bend
The 27th episode from the second season of Have Gun - Will Travel is called Incident at Borrasca Bend, and it’s a pretty offbeat one at that. I’d call it a bumbling comedy outing that has limited appeal. A bearded Paladin ends up in the wrong …
Full House Season 8
According to what I have read, season 8 of Full House was not meant to be the last season. The producers planned on doing one more season before ABC cancelled the show. It was then going to move to another network, but plans fell through. Die hard fans who …
Thriller: Cousin Tundifer TV Show
From the second season of Thriller comes a little episode called Cousin Tundifer with Edward Andrews playing Miles Tundifer. This is somewhat of an eerie comedy, murder with a humorous twist. It’s a tale that brings the past to the present, from time to time, that is.
Here …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Splinter
Synopsis: Spongebob gets a splinter in his finger and tries to hide it rather than remove it because of the pain. However, when he is sent home, he needs to find a way to get it out of his finger so he can return to work.
What I liked about …
M*A*S*H: Heroes
M*A*S*H: Heroes is unusually intriguing. I didn’t remember seeing this one originally, though I know I did, but my reason for mentioning that is that I had assumed the story was going to have a certain plot that never came to fruition. Instead, I was surprised by …
Stargate SG1: The First Ones
There were quite a few Stargate SG1 fans who were disappointed in this episode, or who ridiculed it. Episode 8 of season 4 - The First Ones - was one of my favorite episodes. Sure, people could accuse me of loving this episode because it was Daniel-centric …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: House of Hoarders TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: House of Hoarders took a look at something that is getting a lot of attention in today’s world, and that is the topic of hoarders. Hoarders are essentially those who cannot throw anything away. As much as some of us consider ourselves to …

My So Called Life
My So-Called Life was a television show in the nineties. When I first saw the show I was about twelve years old and so this show was about the right age range for me.
When I watched My So-Called Life as a little girl I was enthralled. It …

Log In For Love is a new show on TBS. It follows the dating lives of tweleve different women in New York City. The show is done in a documentary like style. Overall its a pretty interesting show to watch, just to see see how other people go about …
The Twilight Zone: The Chaser TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Chaser is an okay outing for this science fiction series. I don’t particularly love it, but I don’t dislike it, either. It’s one of the few roles I can somewhat tolerate John McIntire in. He plays a mysterious professor who sales …
