TV Reviews
The Mentalist - TV show
The first few times I saw this show, I didn’t really grasp the concept and couldn’t figure out why a police investigative team would have some random guy (who used to be a con artist) on their team. It just seemed like a stretch. Of course, I have been …
The Good Wife: VIP Treatment TV Show
This hour of The Good Wife, titled VIP Treatment, was interesting because it was self contained in many ways, which honestly surprised me. There was actually not all that much of Julianna Margulies in my opinion. I felt like the concentration of the camera was more on …
Bones: The He in the She
As far as the Bones episode The He in the She is concerned, it was a slight improvement over other episodes this season but not by much.
I liked the story line about a female minister who used to be a man and had a sex change; especially when it’s …
CSI Las Vegas Season 9 Episode 2
The second episode of the CSI Las Vegas season 9 was a bit of disappointing for me because just after the episode 1 where Warrick was confirmed dead, they no longer have shown anything relating to his death. I was hoping they would somehow be able to show some …
I Love Lucy (TV series) - Lucy and the Dummy (Episode)
“Lucy and the Dummy” is an episode of the “I Love Lucy” television show. In this episode, Ricky declines an offer to entertain at a party hosted by the studio that he made his first movie at, instead opting to go ahead with plans that he already made to …

The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 9: Look Homeward, Ray
After two rather strong, plot driven, Straczynski scripted episodes, we take a break and get a more character driven episode. Ray gets invited back to his hometown to be the grand marshal at a parade in honor of his work.
Things seem to start off on a …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - Best Day Ever
Spongebob is really down on himself, and his friends decide that they are going to give him a day for him, and make it his best day ever. This is one of my daughter’s absolute favorite episode, but I think she likes it so much for the song. I …

Monster Episode 18 has Anna Libert being questioned by police and they ask her if she knows anything about Dr. Tenma, she says she doesn’t and leaves. She sees her former boss Mister Rosso and they have dinner together, where she learns the truth about his past.

Psych TV Episode: Psy versus Psy
My daughter celebrated her 6th birthday this past weekend and, since we were throwing her a party that afternoon, I had to do quite a bit of cleaning in the morning.
While cleaning, I had our TV on and was able to watch a marathon of old episodes of the …
The Following TV show
The Following is a powerful drama/thriller/mystery television series written by Kevin Williamson.The series is about a FBI agent, Ryan hardy (Kevin Bacon) who is called out of retirement to catch the diabolical serial killer, Joe Caroll (Joe Purefoy.)I learned the show was more about a cult type of serial …
Stargate SG-1: Enemy Mine
Stargate SG-1: Enemy Mine is another super entry from season seven. I do have a couple of quibbles, though, one of which is that all of Richard Dean Anderson’s scenes are in the first twenty minutes. They really needed one more at the end and that stands …
M*A*S*H: Der Tag
Most of M*A*S*H: Der Tag is focused on Frank Burns (Larry Linville) flipping out because his lover, Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) is in Tokyo. Even worse, she’s talking about some male physical therapist’s with some lust in her voice. It’s enough to send Frank over the edge, …
Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum
The interesting thing about Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum, is the fact it is the perfect place for our detective. Of course, by perfect, I mean it’s a great way for him to once again solve yet another murder mystery; this time it seems to center around the …
Doctor Who season 1 episode 4 Aliens of London
This was a rather funny but still very serious episode, it still didn’t convince me this wasn’t a children’s show but I guess I am considering of promoting it to adult show.
Rose and The Doctor arrived back to London, although The Doctor wanted to take them back to the …
Stargate SG-1: The Serpent’s Venom
Stargate SG-1: The Serpent’s Venom has one of the best Jack and Daniel moments ever. It’s a silly little bit, but it’s priceless.
With Teal’c away on a mission, Jacob arrives and solicits the team’s help to stop the successful negotiation of a treaty between two of the System …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Day It Rained Forever TV Show
I wasn’t real impressed with The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Day It Rained Forever, a story of this science fiction anthology series that originally was seen on television in November 1990. The acting was okay, but I wasn’t taken by the story. It was slow, lacked much …
Wanda At Large: Wanda Sykes Show (TV One)
I don’t know exactly when the Wanda Sykes show went off the air. I think it was actually some time in 2003. But I have caught a few episodes on TV One. I knew that Wanda had quite the sense of humor. …

Hoarders tv show
On the channel TLC, I watched one of their shows that come on called Hoarders. It’s a quite interesting show about people who collect just about any thing and everything in their house. There homes get very cluttered and make for unlivable housing conditions. In the episode they …
House: Poison
Ironically, my interest in the show House didn’t come during the first few episodes of the series; it was a show later in the series entitled “Poison.”
The interesting thing about this episode is they don’t have to solve one case, they have to solve two; even though both the …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Socrates’ Sister
The episode title makes it pretty obvious what the conflict of this story will be. In The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Socrates’ Sister, Iphigenia, the sister of Socrates Poole (Christian Clemenson) arrives in town to defend one of the men accused of murdering Brisco’s father, along with …
Fame: Metamorphosis
Fame: Metamorphosis is the premier of the musical dancing television series which was based on a hit movie. I recall at the time being a little put off by star Debbie Allen’s comments on The Tonight Show that they’d found an even better Coco Hernandez than Irene Cara …
Boston Legal Season 1 Episode 4
During this episode Edwin Poole defended a man who was charged for murder. Several associates of the firm were worried because Edwin Poole obviously is not mentally well.Earlier that day, he barged in the office wearing only his tops without anything covering his bottom.
In another case, Alan Shore …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Killed by Death
If you’re looking for something creepy to watch and don’t necessarily want to watch a movie, I would really recommend seeing the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Killed by Death.”
Hospitals, in my opinion, are creepy enough. But, what if you had some sort of invisible demon walking the halls …
Vizio M260VA 26″ RAZOR LED LCD HDTV
The Visio M260VA is our first flat-screen TV. We got the 26 inch so it will fit inside our TV stand (the stand is solid wood, looks beautiful, and holds many movies along with several glass figurines which is why we wanted to keep the old TV stand with …
Cowboy Beboop Episode 14 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 14 has the crew going after a man known as Chessmaster Hex after a series of Hyperspace Gate Tollbooth robberies that are connected to him.
This episode was really good, it was quirky and fun and interesting. It wasn’t really about the action as much as …
Akame ga Kill (animated series)
“Akame ga Kill” has become one of my new favourite Japanese animated series. Right now, it’s still in its early stages and has eighteen episodes, each lasting roughly 20 minutes. However, I believe that the action and suspense that surrounds each episode is enough to have many anime lovers get …
The Twilight Zone: The Passersby TV Show
This 1961 outing, The Twilight Zone: The Passersby, isn’t a big favorite of mine, but it is a good show. I think the reason I’m not fond of it is because it’s somewhat dark. There isn’t really anything happy about it, and I prefer happy stories.
It’s the …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 10
As the world spins its unprecedented course, our valiant heros find that unlike their classmates, that they are on a scheduled standby as long as the angel threat exist and are not allowed to join their class trip to Okinawa. This is Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 10 “Magma Diver”, …
CSI Season 1 Episode 20 Sounds of Silence
Just as expected of this great show, it was a really fun and interesting episode. Aside from the investigation, there was some social message as well, but I felt like it didn’t really work well. I think it was a just a little bit over the top as the …
ER tv show
I know, I know. ER is probably one of the most unrealistic shows out there, but after all of these seasons, I still can’t help but to watch it on Thursday nights. The characters are so intriguing, the themes are always original and unique, and it is …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 16: Appa’s Lost Days
This episode shows us what Appa’s been up to since he was kidnapped back in “The Library”. Things didn’t really go so well for him.
He was kidnapped, traded, sold to a circus where the ringmaster was abusive, he managed to escape that only to find that his friends …
That Girl: Help Wanted
Help Wanted is one episode of That Girl that I have always remembered. It reminds me of one of my favorite episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show when Laura fills in for Sally to help Rob, but Rob gets all out of sorts about the situation. …
Sea Hunt: Storm Drain TV Show
Sea Hunt: Storm Drain, the 29th program to air in this underwater adventure series’ third season on television, included an appearance by young Beau Bridges in the role of Warren Tucker. Beau, who grew up to be a terrific actor himself, was the young son of series star …
Gene Simmons’ Family Jewels
I don’t like KISS, and for the most part have not been impressed by Gene Simmons in any way. He generally comes off (as he wishes to come off) as a lewd, crude, horrible little man, and as for the band I think they have practically zero talent …
Smallville Episode 8.10: Bride
I, like most people, was somewhat skeptical when it was announced that Doomsday, the infamous monster who killed Superman, would be coming to Smallville. It seemed odd when they announced that Doomsday was going to be played by Sam Witwer as a paramedic with a dark side. …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 3, Episode 4: Sokka’s Master
A meteor lands near the group and starts a fire. Toph, Aang and Katara leap into action, bending elements to keep the fire at bay so that they can put it out. Sokka is left sitting on the sidelines guarding Momo.
It dawns on him that he’s just …
Sliders - The Good, the Bad and the Wealthy
All right, this is a pretty silly episode. The idea of a world where Texas runs America and lawyers decide who wins a case through the barrel of a gun isn’t exactly the most realistic of scenarios. However it is a bit of good fun and when …
Models of the Runway: It’s a Sticky Situation
Wow, I have to tell you, models can be really, really catty sometimes over some extremely stupid things.
This week’s elimination saw one of the models accuse another one of cheating because she saw her use sticky tape on her outfit; which is apparently against the rules because it’s considered …
Sea Hunt: P.T. Boat TV Show
The 34th episode of Sea Hunt’s 4th season on TV was called P.T. Boat and aired in August 1961. The show starred Lloyd Bridges as deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson with guest stars Kelton Garwood as Kendrick Calway and Lisabeth Hush as Linda Calway. Also appearing …
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
I watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, yesterday on NBC.
I thought yesterdays parade was put together rather nicely. The two previous years I didn’t think it was that good, but this years was vastly improved.
As a rule my family watches this traditional parade every year.
I liked the Rockettes. …
Married with Children TV Episode: The Poker Game
Synopsis: Al’s neighbor Steve joins in on a friendly poker game and ends up losing his paycheck; only to later try to convince Al to give him the money back before his wife finds out.
What I liked about this episode: When I saw the title and the description of …
ULTRAMAN
ULTRAMAN! ULTRAMAN! ULTRAMAN! WOW! ULTRAMAN! IT’S ULTRAMAN! WOW! Yes, it is ULTRAMAN! That cool Japanese superhero who could grow up to superhuman size and battle big dinosaur monsters from outer space. Luckily, he was the Science Patrol helping him, although they never seem to be very successful. This is …
Naruto Episode 29 Subbed
At long last we are getting into the real juice of this series with edge-of-your-seat action and exciting thrills that make you beg for more as soon as you can get it. Sasuke is still paralyzed by fear, which is a nice change to see, but this episode won’t …
Stargate Atlantis: Vegas
Life gets crazy in science fiction, and that’s certainly true for Stargate Atlantis: Vegas which is a sort of homage to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. There was a lot of buzz about this episode when it was done, so I was curious to see how it played out …
That 70s Show: The First Time
Once again, I came across another That 70s Show re-run I haven’t seen before, the episode called “The First Time.”
Of course, by the title, you really have no idea what is going on. As it turns out, it’s about Bob and Midge deciding to renew their wedding vows after …
M*A*S*H: Rumor at the Top
Nicholas Pryor guest stars as Major Nathaniel Burnham in M*A*S*H: Rumor at the Top from season ten. This is one of those shows that proves the old adage that assumptions are dangerous. They call it a rumor, but it begins with an assumption.
It comes down the line …
Diagnosis Murder: All American Murder TV Show
Episode three of season three is Diagnosis Murder: All American Murder. We continue to learn tiny tidbits of Amanda’s marriage to Colin Livingston, who she married in the off-season. They have to remind the audience because she’s very pregnant. They even did another Jack reference, talking …
