Masquerade: The French Correction
Masquerade: The French Correction is a pretty decent entry for this hour-long spy that hit the TV screen back in March 1984. However, one of the bad things is that they failed to create new ways of explaining the story. In the beginning, Lavender (Rod Taylor) always …
Family Feud
I haven’t seen the game show Family Feud in ages so, when I watched it last night, I wasn’t sure if I was watching a brand new episode or a repeat.
In any case, it turned out to be an entertaining way to spend a half hour.
The game itself was …
Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light
Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light is another good entry for this puppeteering TV show. There’s some action going on here, especially with Fireball XL5 having engine problems. There’s a bit where the ship goes incredibly fast, actually going faster than light speed. Seeing this on screen is …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Lazarus TV Show
One of the shows presented during Have Gun - Will Travel’s fifth season on the air was entitled simply, Lazarus. It’s actually an appropriate title, based on what happens to the main guest character, Boise Peabody. Boise is a colorful character, played by Strother Martin.

Cowboy Bebop episode 16
Nothing happens the way we plan it to, for if it did, it would be an extension of blasphemy as there would be no human element. As it is said, To error is to be Human, To Forgive divine. In the case of Jet Black, sometimes you will see …

California Dreams
I used to watch California Dreams as a kid and I loved it then. Now however I’ve seen it again and of course I don’t like it as much as I’m older and the show seems very dated.
Basically it started off being about a family and their two …

Simpsons - Fool Monty
As in the way of the Simpsons current episodes, this one is one of those that is primarily hit and miss when it came to humor and laughs. It did provide some humor into Mr. Burns losing his memory and everyone in town uses him as he has been …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 4: Slimer, Come Home
There’s a general rule of thumb when it comes to “The Real Ghostbusters”, if the episode is written by J. Michael Stracynski, it will be good. After the awesomeness that was “Mrs. Rogers’ Neighborhood”, this episode had a high bar to jump, and the fact that it centered …
Hotel Erotica Cabo
Normally, I don’t watch late-night adult programming on HBO or the other premium movie channels we have. Maybe when I was in college or even when I was single. But, now that I’m married and have a child, it just seems immature. Besides, if I’m watching it alone instead …
Collectible Trek featurette
Collectible Trek is a very information look at the world of Star Trek collectibles. This isn’t just a show and tell feature. It does much more than show an action figure and say how much it’s worth at the time this was filmed. It really hones …
Laramie: The Fatal Step TV Show
In Laramie: The Fatal Step, there is another strong guest cast to go along with the excellent partnership of John Smith and Robert Fuller as friends and co-workers, Slim Sherman and Jess Harper, respectively. I am just always amazed at the strong acting that was scene in this …

GameStop.com commercial

The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 23: Soft Light
While this isn’t exactly what people mean when someone says that a person is afraid of their own shadow, the phrase still remains apt here when talking about Dr. Barton (a scientist who got bombarded with dark matter in an accident), and with good reason. This episode is …
Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 2
I have finished watching Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 2 yesterday on my local TV channel and it was another fun and dazzle episode once more with lots of colorful characters filling through. For a start, you get to see Gabrielle trying so hard to get back inside the …
The Office: The Convention
The plot of this season The Office has been moving quickly; stretching away from the basic formula, which succeeded in the seasons before but had began to get old. It is still the same show, but with many new elements.
In The Convention we see little of Jim’s new office …
Stargate SG-1: Evolution Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Evolution Part 2 didn’t give Jack and Daniel fans what they wanted at the beginning. In reality, it gave us a nauseating soap opera scene that was completely out of character for Jack O’Neill. In the history of the show, when someone has needed help, …
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 …
Warehouse 13 Season 1 Episode 8 Duped
This episode had to do with Alice, the magical mirror and Lewis Carroll, I really like similar stories because they aren’t only interesting but also educational. What happened is that the secret agent Myka got stuck in the mirror while Alice gets into Myka’s body. Nobody realises what happened …
Our New Girl Bro
JD’s gone for good. Interestingly enough, Elliot decides to come in and make an appearance. I’ve noticed that the writing for the returning cast is still pretty spot on, but it’s the new characters who kind of drag it down.
Ok, Lucy is pretty amicable and Cole is pretty …
Little Britain show
A smash hit that spawned a wealth of catchphrases, Little Britain has certainly been one of the big hits of British television of the past ten years. The product of Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Little Britain first arrived on British television screens back in 2003 when it launched …
Hunter: No Good Deed Ever Goes Unpunished TV show

M*A*S*H: As You Were
M*A*S*H: As You Were was another one of the second season entries for this wonderful series that just didn’t really hit my funny bone very much. There’s one central bit that I like a lot and enjoy, but a lot of the little subplots don’t really do much, …
Life After Tomorrow TV Show
Life After Tomorrow was a television special done recently to look back and honor the hit Broadway stage play, Annie. Who doesn’t know this little iconic redheaded orphan and her dog, Sandy? She’s been a comic book, a movie, and a comic strip at one point or …

The result …
Full House TV Show
Who doesn’t love Full House? Sure, Danny sometimes gets so cheesy that you almost have to turn the channel, but seriously I could sit for hours watching it and get a fuzzy feeling inside. Cheesy but true.
It’s about a guy, Danny, trying to raise his three girls on his …
Piers Morgan Life Stories: Cheryl Cole
Piers Morgans Life Stories. I had heard a lot about his chat with Cheryl Cole and as she had been through a fair bit in the last 12 months I was keen to watch as most people he interviews seem to cry, so they tend to be quite heartfelt.
Whatever …
Laramie: The Betrayers TV show
From season four of the terrific western series called Laramie is this episode called The Betrayers. Robert Fuller gets the primary focus of the hour in his starring role of Jess Harper. In the early years, most of the shows were buddy types, the stories revolving around both …

Before the Dinosaurs: Walking with Monsters (DVD)
The special affects in this series are truly amazing and you’d swear the extinct creatures racing across your TV screen are real. They look that genuine. This is also the third in the BBC “Walking With” series, the series that started with “Walking with Dinosaurs”. The creatures in this …
Masquerade: Sleeper

Miami Medical: Pilot TV Show
Here’s my issue for CBS. Why not give a show a decent chance? Last season, they had a great show called Three Rivers. It had top notch acting, interesting drama, and a couple of performers on the rise who could have brought in viewers. After …
The Office: Crime Aid
“Crime Aid” is the forth episode of this season of The Office on NBC. This was a very funny episode and I enjoyed it a lot! All the characers were ‘on’ in this episode and Michael was even crazier than normal.
I liked the growing relationship between Holly …
Medium: Talk to the Hand TV Show
Medium: Talk to the Hand had a very different beginning. The opening teaser has Alison with Mr. Bill about safety. Mr. Bill was such a contemporary figure a couple of decades back. I was never that amused with him, but once you see him, it’s hard …
America’s Next Top Model cycle 14, courtesy of Tyra Banks
America’s Next Top Model is one of those shows I’m pretty ashamed to admit I find myself watching, and I can’t explain why I continue to watch it, other than the fact that it’s mindless drama. Even though it’s supposed to be a reality show, watching it for …
Law and Order SVU: “Uncivilized” Episode
I think this was one of my favourite episodes of Law and Order SVU for season one because it had a twist that I did not see coming at all. A part from that, I thought everything else was good. The acting as usual was great, the dialogue was …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Force of Habit TV Show
David Carradine and Chris Potter starred in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Force of Habit. This first season episode is a bit intense and tackles the subject of abuse. It begins with Detective Marty Stramm (Kim Coatest) who is upset that his son won’t fight back against …
Stargate SG-1: Collateral Damage
Stargate SG-1: Collateral Damage is another of the season nine shows that I tolerate Ben Browder’s Cameron Mitchell character a bid more than in other shows. It’s probably for the same reason as the last time — he’s somewhat away from the team and able to be himself …
Naruto Anime Series
Naruto is an anime series which revolves around the main character named Uzumaki Naruto and a world wherein ninjas rule and power is everywhere.
The first time I saw this anime, I was really enthralled by it. Shounen anime series such as Naruto really do interest me and the fact …
Family Matters the TV show
The show family matters was a good show and I use to love watching it all the time when it was on the air. I love how the characters on the show were just average people; working average jobs but quite often dealt with major problems and this show …
Due South: Mojo Rising
Due South: Mojo Rising was big on voodoo, and those shows aren’t my favorites to watch, regardless of the show. I’m not sure what the fascination is with this type of show, but sooner or later, it seems like every dramatic show on the air does some show …
