Wagon Train: The Myra Marshall Story
This show, Wagon Train: The Myra Marshall Story, isn’t a huge favorite, but it’s still a good one. One of the neat things about the episode is that it sets up the viewer to think one thing, when it’s really something else. Back when this show aired …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Lady on the Wall TV Show
This third season episode of Have Gun - Will Travel revolves around a painting of a woman that hangs in the saloon/hotel of a town named Bonanza. Our hero, Paladin (Richard Boone), arrives in the town and while enjoying a drink admires the painting of a woman. …
Super Mario World - The Night Before Cave Christmas
Super Mario World - “The Night Before Cave Christmas” is not quite as memorable or entertaining as the other “holiday themed” episode, namely “Ghosts ‘R’ Us”, but I do like this episode because it is one of the few times in this episode that we actually get to see …
My Name Is Earl
The show which is called My Name Is Earl is one that NBC shows frequently and this means that I have been forced to watch this show. I watched about four episodes and I do not really understand why this show is on television and other great shows have …
Friday Night SmackDown
If you like fights and wrestling then you will love Friday Night Smackdown. In fact I am watching it right now as I type up this review. I have always loved SmackDown and I remember when it used to be on Thursday nights. Now it is on Friday nights but …

House: Unfaithful
OK, for the most part, last night’s House episode “Unfaithful” was a bit better than some of the more recent episodes in the series. At least we actually had a case that was baffling and the central theme of the whole episode rather than something that takes place on …
M*A*S*H: Henry in Love
M*A*S*H: Henry in Love is an awkward show because I just don’t understand the mentality behind all the marital cheater that goes on. It makes no sense to me, but that’s because I’m pretty traditional. What occurs in M*A*S*H: Henry in Love, is that Henry Blake (McLean …
Star Trek: Patterns of Force TV Show
Star Trek: Patterns of Force is a solid episode that once again has the Enterprise tracking down missing personnel, in this case, John Gill (David Brian), who had been assigned to a planet as an observer. When the landing party beams down, they quickly realize that the 1930’s …
The Office TV show
Some sitcoms get their humor from doing the unexpected. Some get their humor because they’re so true to life. The Office is actually both.
I absolutely love The Office, partly because it’s so realistic. I mean, I’ve really worked with people like this — well, almost like this, anyway. The …
House: Instant Karma
Well, last night’s episode wasn’t as good as expected but it was still an OK episode.
House is still back but without a license. But, that doesn’t stop a billionaire from insisting he treat his dying son; who he believes is sick because he was rewarded with the ability to …
Dirty Jobs (Discovery Channel TV show)
I happened to catch an episode of this show when the host teamed up with a group of pestilence control workers. These guys wore daunting looking black T-shirts and tackled the worst jobs you could think of. The episode I caught featured a home that was …
Ghost Hunters: Spirits on the Water
I had to get ready for bed so I missed part of the Ghost Hunters episode “Spirits on the Water” last night. But, from what I saw, it was somewhat interesting.
The TAPS team was asked to investigate two separate ships that were supposedly haunted. The first one turned out …
Law and Order Special VIcitims Unit “Limitations” Episode
Before this episode, I used to wonder if rape victims truly ever forgive their rapists and found it hard to believe that some of them actually do. However, the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Limitations” shed new light on it and one of the possible negativities of …
The Jetsons
The Jetsons is a cartoon about a family living in the space age. George is the father, Jane is the mother, Judy is the daughter and Elroy is the boy. The Jetsons are a total hoot and a must see for children and adults alike. I like thinking that …

Supreme court of comedy
I watched a little bit of this show last night. I was just flipping through the channels on television because I couldn’t sleep. I found this show and it was one of the funniest shows I have seen in a long time. Usually I don’t like this type of …
MTV
MTV may be the worst channel on TV. Well not quite, I believe BET holds that title.
Anyways, if you want mind numbingly stupid and irritating programs to watch, MTV is your channel. From shows such as My Sweet 16 to Flavor of Love, the madness just does not …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Road to Wickenberg
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Road to Wickenberg, from season two of the western, has drama, romance, and a few chuckles along the way. There’s also a really good supporting group of guest stars in this episode, and they all play relatives. Harry Carey Jr. …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Battle Aboard the St. Anne (Episode)
“Battle Aboard the St. Anne” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series and it is the first part of a three episode story arc. This episode is an entertaining one for a number of reasons. First of all, this is the first time that the Team Rocket organization …
The New Adventures of Old Christine Season 1
The first season of the New Adventures of Old Christine was a really funny one though not as funny as I remembered. It took me quite awhile to buy the season on DVD because it’s fairly expensive for 15 episodes that are less than 30 minutes long. When I …

Spongebob Squarepants TV
Hands down, Spongebob Squarepants is for me the funniest cartoon for kids and kids at heart. Its unique humor is something that not everybody appreciates, knowing a lot of articles written about it all over the web which are not favorable, but it is MY type of humor, so …
Seven days season 3 episode 18 The Final Countdown
This episode was supposed to be very tense and very unpredictable but it wasn’t.

This episode resolves the case Artie was dealing with in the last 3 episodes. Artie works in the Warehouse 13, he is some kind a housekeeper if I can call him that way, of the Warehouse where artefact that affect people’s behaviour are held.
In last few episodes he was …
CSI Season 6 Episode 2 Room Service
I didn’t like this episode at all because of the way that it was filmed and edited. The writing was actually not bad. In this episode the team investigates two murders. One of a hot male celebrity and another of a poor Thai immigrant. From the very beginning of …
House TV Episode: Small Sacrifices
Even though I really thought I would stop watching the show House, I have nothing better to do Monday nights and have been catching some of the newer episodes.

That 70s Show TV Episode: Street Fighting Man
I got home about 5:30 yesterday evening and decided to put on a re-run of That 70s Show while waiting for the Simpsons to come on. It turned out that re-run was one of the funniest episodes from any series that I have ever seen.
The episode, called Street Fighting …
Rock Docs (”NWA”)
When I saw the title of this show on VH1, I was really surprised because I thought it was about something completely different. But nevertheless, it was a special completely dedicated to gangster rap in Los Angeles. The feature was about NWA and their impact on America …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Nightmares
Nobody likes nightmares so the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Nightmares is a great episode to watch if you like being creeped out a bit.
This one, again, doesn’t involve vampires. But, it does involve a kid in a coma who has an out of body experience and brings his …
Highway Patrol: Phony Insurance TV Show
From December 1955, Highway Patrol: Phony Insurance is as relevant today as it was back then because it’s all about fraud, specifically insurance fraud, and that is still running rampant. In this case, a man named Masterson (Roy Engel) is trying to sell what he calls a “transportation …

Stargate SG-1: Endgame
Stargate SG-1: Endgame has some fun moments in it for me and makes for a nice season eight episode of this long-running TV series. Among my favorite scenes:
–the opening, where the two technicians working the graveyard shift talk; it’s just so normal and weird at the same time; …
Stargate SG-1: Abyss
Finally, a season six show worth watching. It’s one of three. Stargate SG-1: Abyss is the return of Daniel Jackson, sort of. Now Ascended, Daniel shows up to help Jack, who has been implanted with a Tok’ra symbiote. The symbiote took Jack by force to attempt …
Diagnosis Murder: You Can Call Me Johnson TV Show
I must admit that I’m not that crazy about the main murder investigation in Diagnosis Murder: You Can Call Me Johnson, but I do love the side story that involves Dr. Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke).
