Home Improvement TV Episode: Future Shock
I couldn’t find much on TV at lunch today and ended up watching a re-run of Home Improvement called “Future Shock.” I normally like this television series (which I have only seen in re-runs because it was on at a bad time when it was still on the air). …
America’s got talent
America’s got talent is a great TV show and I love that the show is very entertaining but one of the best things about this show would have to be the judges. I like the attitude of Howie Mandel because he has a friendly but sarcastic attitude at times …
Futurama TV Episode: Lethal Inspection
As I mentioned before, I finally got a chance to watch some newer episodes of the show Futurama last night and, while I was impressed with the first one I watched (The Duh-Vinci Code), the one I enjoyed even more was the one entitled Lethal Inspection.
The thing I liked …
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.

Goin Bulilit
I have always loved watching funny shows; I think it is a good stress buster. In the Philippines, gag shows and funny shows, and even sitcoms have become really few these days; mostly people have concentrated on getting Korean novellas, and foreign shows. If not, locally produced shows are …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 5 (Anime)
Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 5 has Section 9 continuing their investigation into the identity of the Laughing Man and they tail a anti-corporate suspect.
This episode is pretty good and it was very interesting to watch and the mystery keeps getting better and better. I …
Emergency!: Nurses’ Wild
Emergency!: Nurses’ Wild has some really wonderful moments in it, both on the humor front and the dramatic stage. This first season show confronts prejudice, of different styles. One story has Dr. Morgan (Ron Pinkard), who is an African-American, making a judgement on a hippie having a …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: By the Numbers TV Show
From September 1992, the cable television series The Ray Bradbury Theater presented a show called By the Numbers which starred Ray Sharkey. The action begins with a lot of military like shouting, but then transports us to a train. It’s weird right off the bat as one …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Quiet Night in Town Part 2 II TV Show
From season four, a rare two part episode of Have Gun - Will Travel concluded with this show, Quiet Night in Town Part II. The show didn’t have any kind of ’scenes from last week’, so hopefully, viewers remember the plot. It opens with Paladin lying on …

To choose the cable service is a no brainier in east coast of USA. As there are only two service providers Verizon and Cablevision. But what to choose from is the difficult part. Well we had cablevision- optimum service since 4 years. If you are a new member then …

For all of you who still live in a cave and …
Luke’s Parental Advisory (VH1 network TV show)
Who in the world gave Luther Campbell permission to have his own reality show? I will admit that I have never liked Luke’s music, even when it was popular. And not just because all he talked about were hoes and shaking booties. …

Gilligan’s Island - The Return of Wrongway Feldman TV Show
I really liked this episode even better than the first Wrongway Feldman episode. This second show gives an explanation why Wrongway is the way he is. His name Wrongway suggests he instinctively takes the opposite direction so there really is not too much surprise he does not like the …
Those who Hunt Elves
Every once in a while, a show comes along that just makes you tilt your head, scratch it, and go, “What the heck am I watching?” more than once. While ‘Those who Hunt Elves’ certainly fits into this category, but it’s also the kind of show that you can’t …

Flipping out
This is a show on the Bravo channel. It’s not of my favorite shows but it is a show that I watch from time to time. It’s a interesting show. It’s about a guy who flips houses. I enjoy watching the show because it’s interesting to watch. I think …

The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set
Earlier this year, I was gifted with The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set, which contains all 65 episodes of the science fiction series on 5 DVDs. I’ve just finished reviewing the episodes, so now it’s time to take a look at the DVD set itself.
There are plenty of highs …
Sleepy Hollow TV show, Season 1 Recall
When I read about a new supernatural procedural show through the writers mailinglist, my initial thought was, it was probably something along the vein of the TV show “Dresden” but broader in scope since Dresden was a wizard interacting with the police department. I thought maybe a private investigator with …
The 64th Annual Tony Awards TV Show
For me, The 64th Annual Tony Awards were not as wonderful as some reviewers I’ve read have made them out to be. I wasn’t enamored by Sean Hayes as they were. Perhaps it’s my tradition. It’s nothing against Hayes, but I wasn’t a fan of Will …
Warehouse 13 season 1 episode 6 Burnout
Warehouse 13 is a show about two secret service agents who look for artefacts that can affect human behaviour. In each episode they solve a different case but the warehouse itself holds a mystery that will probably be solved by the end of the season, at least I hope …
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 …
Star Trek: Journey to Babel TV Show
Star Trek: Journey to Babel is one of the legendary shows because it introduces us to Spock’s parents, Sarek and Amanda. Mark Lenard plays Sarek, a role he’d continue to play in the Star Trek movies as well as the spin off series, Star Trek: The Next Generation. …
Star Trek: Shore Leave TV Show
Star Trek: Shore Leave is an absolute classic. There are many great elements of the story, and in actuality, from the first time I saw this as a child back in 1966, I have kept one line of this show with me. It’s a line that struck …
Smallville: Lazarus TV Show
The season ten premier of Smallville was called Lazarus, and it was a good one.
I don’t watch this show regularly, but since I watched the season 9 finale and since I’ll be watching the second episode of season 10 (both because the shows guest star Michael Shanks as Hawkman), …
Bones television show
The television show Bones has a new take on crime drama.
At first I wasn’t too interested in the show. I had thought there were already many crime drama series around and Bones was just another one. Also the premise of discovering who committed a crime by examining …
Max Headroom: Academy TV show
The second season of Max Headroom began with a show called Academy. It begins with William Morgan Sheppard’s Blank Reg character being arrested and ultimately put on trial for broadcasting his signal which interferes with Network 23’s signal. That’s a big no no, but the kicker is …
Dexter’s Laboratory
In the late 1990s and the early 2000s, there were three cartoons on Cartoon Network which I remember were quite popular amongst children and a few teenagers I knew. These were “Johnny Bravo”, “Cow and Chicken” and “Dexter’s Laboratory”. Even now I think that “Dexter’s Laboratory” or “Dexter’s Lab”, …
South Park
I have always enjoyed the cartoon called South Park. This show is just funny. I really like all the characters. I like the funny music in the show as well as the sound effects. I think the story lines in south park are really dumb. But I also think that …
Smallville Season 8 Episode 5
At first i thought this episode was a little bit off. A jeweler kidnaps Chloe and Jimmy, hooks them up to a lie detector test and asks them questions to determine if their love is true. If the lie they get an electric shock.
Weird huh?
I didn’t really …
Time Warner Cable
Time Warner Cable is for New Yorkers what Comcast is for people in the DC area. They seem to have a monopoly despite what other companies have to offer. I happen to like Time Warner more than some of their competitors, mostly because they have some of the best …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Jinx TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Jinx, from January 1962 which was part of this comedy show’s second season on the air, was a solid half hour of entertainment, though to be honest, it’s not one I really like all that much. I’ve watched it numerous times. I …

A Taste for Death - Part 3
There were a few good moments in A Taste for Death - Part 3 as Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) continued to try and solve the circumstances surrounding the death of Sir Paul Berowne, who had died in a church.
The most fun portion was a scene in Dalgliesh’s office …
Due South: Call of the Wild: Part 2
The bad thing about Due South: Call of the Wild: Part 2 is that it separated real Ray Vecchio from Constable Benton Fraser. With Vecchio recovering from being shot, that left Fraser and fake Ray to go after the villain of the piece, and that’s not really what …
Top of the Hill: Accurate But Not True TV Show
William Katt burst onto the TV scene as The Greatest American Hero. Surviving that, he signed on to play Paul Drake Jr. in new Perry Mason movies, working with his mother, Barbara Hale. He left that gig to star in this political drama called Top of the …
Highway Patrol: Train Robbery TV Show
From November 1958, Highway Patrol: Train Robbery was the 8th outing of the fourth TV season, and it really was different. I love fresh shows, things that weren’t done before. Granted, that isn’t always easy, but it can be done. The premise of this half hour …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Telly Savalas TV Show
Kojak himself, Telly Savalas, was roasted by a dais of entertainers on this outing of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was filmed in Las Vegas. The Man of the Hour took his seat while being honored, zinger style, by those on the dais. Now those on …
