What Not to Wear (tv show)
I generally do not watch makeover shows like “What Not to Wear” unless I am very bored and there is not much else going on on cable television. However, I must admit that even though I don’t go out of my way most times to watch it, they do …
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 …
Reno 911
Reno 911 is like the funniest and stupidest television show ever. Each time I tune in I laugh so hard. This show must be made on a small budget, but it is great! I thought the movie was ok, no where near as great as the television show!
I watch …
Highway Patrol: : Christmas Story TV Show
Highway Patrol: : Christmas Story was the last show of the first season, airing in June, which seems odd, but that’s okay. Maybe the records are wrong about that, or maybe that is how early television was and I’m just too into what I consider to be normal.
In …
Katekyo Hitman Reborn Season 2 Varia Arc
The third story arc of the anime series Katekyo Hitman Reborn is the Varia Arc. This arc is Season 2, which runs from episode 34 to episode 65, and it introduces Varia and its members, the Vongola rings, and the guardians that will protect the boss of the Vongola …
Kenja no Ai (aka A Saga Love, 4-episode Japanese TV Series)
When I saw the trailer on the movie channel, I was immediately captured by its dark and mesmerizing plot. So I didn’t wait till the weekends for it to be aired on the movie channel but when online to watch it instead.
This is one of the most interesting and captivating …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 56: Masquerade
The synopsis for this episode filled me with dread. If there’s one concept in this show more loathed than Slimer, it’s the Junior Ghostbusters and this is the episode that plants the seed for that concept. I was all ready to hate this episode and bash on …
Wife Swap
I have watched this show a couple of times on lifetime movie network. It is somewhat interesting and entertaining to watch. Some episodes are a lot better than others. I think it gives people a learning experience who do the wife swap. My favorite part of the show is …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 4: Conduit
After a one episode respite, the show returns to its UFO hunting roots and presents another case that involves the possible involvement of extra-terrestrial life. Like the pilot, this involves abduction, but even so, the story plays out far differently than the pilot, preventing the potential rehash this …
Law and Order: SVU
OK, two questions. First of all, I thought Law & Order SVU was supposed to be about sex crimes and, secondly, is this the month we feature each of Stabler’s kids?
The episode “Lunacy” was actually one of the worst episodes of this series I’ve seen. OK, you have a …
Due South: Some Like It Red
Due South: Some Like It Red has a site that really astounds me — Constable Benton Fraser in women’s clothing. He goes undercover in a girls’ school run by nuns in order to try and get some information about a missing girl.
Michele Scarabelli guest stars as Sister Anne, …
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 …
Sea Hunt: Bionics TV Show
Sea Hunt: Bionics, from April 1961, is from the fourth season of this adventure program. What I liked is that I finally figured out something. I never saw this show until ThisTV started airing it this year, but sometimes they air Sea Hunt at another time and …
Bones: The Man in the Outhouse
I haven’t seen the show Bones since Zack turned out to be a killer and no longer appears on the series. So, last night, while watching the newest episode “The Man in the Outhouse” I had to do some catching up.
Overall, this wasn’t a bad episode; though I have …
Adam-12: Log 66: The Vandals
There’s a dramatic opening to Adam-12: Log 66: The Vandals when Officers Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Jim Reed (Kent McCord) pull over two men and one of them pulls a gun. That gets your heart pumping. What I notice most, though, is that the character of …
Trinity Blood episode 2
A witch hunt has been declared and for one child, a witch hunt marks the line in between life or death. This is the second episode of Trinity blood and is titled “Witch Hunt” for the record. Father Abel Nightroad and Father Tres “gunslinger” Iqus are under orders …
Dora’s Christmas Carol
I’ve heard about Dora the Explorer for quite a while, and I’ve seen the character’s image here and there, but I’ve never actually seen an episode of the animated show; that is, until I flicked on Dora’s Christmas Carol over the holidays. I just really wanted to watch …
Laramie: Wolf Cub TV Show
This show, Wolf Cub from Laramie’s third season, features Robert Blake as the title character, who in the opening teaser is saved from being hunted by Earl Droody. Droody is played by the artful Arthur Hunnicutt. This character actor was always entertaining.
There is a beautiful scene between …
Pysch Pilot
One of my Christmas presents this year was the first season of the show Psych (my wife bought it for me but I picked it out). Because of that, I was finally able to watch the series pilot again; something I saw a long time ago but it hasn’t …
Charm School Season Three (VH1)
I never thought I would be a fan of Charm School. Still, I can’t say that I am a fan. But I’ve caught a few episodes and have found them to be somewhat charming actually. The ladies are all from other shows. And …
The Virginian: Hideout TV Show
The Virginian: Hideout puts Roberta Shore and her Betsy Garth character in the center of the action by having Betsy happen upon a father and his adult son living in a canyon. There’s more to their presence than is originally thought.
I actually enjoy this episode quite a bit. …

The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and the Choir TV Show
From season two, The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and the Choir is a hoot. It has story problems in terms of continuity, but you just can’t beat this for entertainment.
This is a theme that was repeated multiple times over the course of this series while Don Knotts was …
Clean House, Messiest Home in America Contest 2
OK, I watch Clean House on a regular basis only because my wife makes me. But, I will admit, watching other people and their messes really makes me feel a bit better about my slightly messy home.
I have to say though the house on their Messiest House Contest 2 …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Colonel and the Lady
I’m not really sure how to describe Have Gun - Will Travel: The Colonel and the Lady. It’s almost like a fairytale in a sense. It’s about secrets and double lives. I had it figured out about halfway through; others might get it from the beginning.
Robert …

Fringe show
I decided to write a review on one of my favorite television shows called “Fringe.” “Fringe” is a must see television show. Peter Bishop and tough FBI agent Olivia Dunham are always faced with unexplained phenomenon. Their lives are always being threatened. Peter’s father, …

Probe: Computer Logic
I’d actually forgotten about the Probe TV series until a friend sent me a DVD or two with the episodes on it. I did watch it and enjoy the show, brief as it was, when it aired originally. In the first episode, Computer Logic, we are introduced …
Adam-12: The Radical
Adam-12: The Radical was a crossover episode with another NBC series called The D.A. That series starred the talented Robert Conrad as Deputy D.A. Paul Ryan. He’s part isn’t that big. As often happens with crossovers, part 1 is on one show and then those stars …
Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman
This show revealed a different Superman which I rather liked. The show starts with Clark Kent moving to Metropolis, starting work at the Daily Planet, meeting Lois Lane, and creating Superman. Throughout the show, Clark goes through villain after villain and at the same time you see …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Cream of the Jest TV Show

Midsomer Murders: A British TV Series
Once in a while I would sit down to a British TV show and enjoy myself for a few hours. I find British shows to be interesting, even though it starts a little bit slow, but slowly becomes very riveting as the story unfolds. I like them for the …

The Prisoner: The General
The Prisoner: The General takes the theory of speed reading and turns it into speed learning, something the villainous Number Two (Colin Gordon for the second time) wants to use to try and brainwash the citizens of The Village. It’s an odd method that works to an extent.

Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1
Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1 was an okay show. The show is getting a reputation now for star injuries, and this season two contestants didn’t even make it to the first show. Both Jewel and Nancy O’Dell had to withdraw for injuries.
Jewel was replaced by …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Moor’s Revenge
From season two, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Moor’s Revenge is half comedy, half drama, though it’s more laughter than gunfight. This is the first time I can recall that the guest stars had their names in the opening title and not just at the end. …
