Rising Stars tv series
I think of “Rising Stars” as the Jamaican version to the American reality television series “American Idol”. I never did like watching the television show a lot since it focuses on mainly the mainstream music, and I have never seen a contestant who I found was worth my time …
Clean Sweep TV show
This television show is great. It is all about decluttering and rearranging, in order to make your house more useable.
In each episode, a couple or family is featured. They have a room or possibly two rroms that are completely useless, mostly because of clutter. In Clean Seep, the Clean …
Stargate SG-1: Inaugeration
Stargate SG-1: Inaugeration is the annual clip show, but this time, there isn’t a single regular character in it, aside from archival footage. Instead, the entire story takes place at the White House, with the new President’s first day in office. As such, he’s being briefed, and …
The Beast Wars - Part One
The Beast Wars - Part One is the first part of the season premier. As a part of the season one premier, it does do what it is supposed to do and it does it well: it introduces the characters and lays out the plot of the series. I …
That Girl: Eleven Angry Men and That Girl
The first thing I noticed about That Girl: Eleven Angry Men and That Girl is that Don says that his parents are in St. Louis. He and Ann are planning on visiting them. I could be wrong, but I thought there was a mention of them …
The X-Files Humbug Episode
This is the 44th episode of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files”. It is also the 20th episode in season 2. It is quite memorable for me as this is also one of the first full episodes I remember watching in the 90s when I was a …
Law and Order SVU: “A Single Life” Episode
I just watched this particular Law and Order Special Victims Unit episode and was surprised to know that it was the second episode in season one and I had never seen it before that. A part from that what I found most interesting was the plot. At first, after …
Columbo: The Complete Second Season DVD set
Columbo fans everywhere were delighted when Universal released the Columbo: The Complete Second Season DVD set. This set is put together differently from the first season one, which is a bit nicer in my estimation.
There are just four DVDs required for the set, since there were fewer episodes …
Dead Like Me: Pilot
Dead Like Me is a very different series. It aired for two seasons on Showtime, so it’s definitely adult in nature. This is why it won’t be as well liked by me as it might be otherwise. In the pilot, which is the subject of this …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 15: The Next Doctor
As fans were well aware of Tennant’s upcoming departure from his role as the Doctor, Davies decided to have some fun with the idea. We first saw this with the fake out regeneration in “The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End” and the idea continues here. The title is misleading …
That Girl: Dark on Top of Everything Else
That Girl: Dark on Top of Everything Else begins with a lot of miscommunication between boyfriend and girlfriend. It starts innocently enough with a fun welcome when Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) arrives at Ann Marie’s (Marlo Thomas) apartment while she’s working on a puzzle. Their big decision …
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the French Interpreter TV Show
I have so very much enjoyed the handful of 1954-1955 episodes of Sherlock Holmes that I’ve seen. This TV series starred Ronald Howard as the famous detective. I really like his smooth portrayal of Holmes. This specific entry is the 14th episode of the series and …
Gilligan’s Island - Good-Bye Island TV show
Now this episode is more of the good reputation I have come to know and love in the Gilligan’s Island series. The castaways are working together nicely as a team, they have great problem solving solutions and treat each other with respect. These are the excellent morals you would …
Sea Hunt: Port Security TV Show
The 30th episode of season two of Sea Hunt was called Port Security and aired in July 1959.
John Zaremba, no newcomer to this adventure series, guest starred as Charlie Keller. He hires Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) to assist in various attempts to get some drug smugglers. This …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Naked Now
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Naked Now is just bad. Just plain bad. The first episode to air after the series premier is a comedy show that has very few actually humorous parts and is riddled with nonsensical lines of dialogue tied in with awkward performances. Boy …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Initiative
Well, I guess that explains the commandos running around Sunnydale. Apparently there’s some sort of government run group known as the Initiative and they are interested in capturing and experimenting on vampires; including Spike (who was captured the episode before).
I couldn’t figure out a whole lot about this group …
The Craig Ferguson Show - 2/19/09
I’ve only watched The Craig Ferguson Show a couple of times and tonight’s episode was a good reason why. I didn’t laugh at the so-called monologue, which included a lot of references to something that happened the night before, so anyone tuning in who hadn’t seen the show …
Dirty Sexy Money TV show
Dirty Sexy Money is a show about a guy called Nick. Nick’s dad was a lawyer who worked for a family called the Darlings. When Nick’s dad dies in a plane crash Nick takes on the Darlings as clients and in the meanwhile tries to figure out …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 14
Every so often there’s an episode from the Law and Order franchise that disturbs you and makes you feel uncomfortable. For me that was this episode of Criminal Intent. The episode starts out calmly enough, with a man trying to raise money, though he doesn’t say what. He tries …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Chase TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Chase opens with an Arizona wife venturing to San Francisco to hire Paladin (Richard Boone). She believes her husband is innocent of the crime he’s accused of. The situation is dire, though, because the sheriff and his posse are out for …
The Lazarus Man: The Palace of Dreams
I like the voiceovers which begin these The Lazarus Man episodes. They let us know Lazarus’ state of mind and what he’s thinking at the moment. It’s a bit more than a basic who and what monologue.
This episode is called The Palace of Dreams and it is an …
Voyagers!: The Trial of Phineas Bogg
Voyagers!: The Trial of Phineas Bogg is probably the one episode I’ve remember for decades, other than the pilot. It’s basically a clips show, a budget costing maneuver by networks and producers to keep costs down on a show because most of the action is done with clips …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - My Pretty Seahorse
One day while Spongebob was outside playing by his house he finds a lost seahorse. He really doesn’t know much about it so he decides to name the sea horse “mystery” because it is such a mystery to him. They play around all day and they are really having …

The episode begins with Homer gulping down donuts in a hurry. Lenny tells him not to eat so fast he might choke, but Homer is Homer. He continues to eat that way and then a donut gets stuck in his throat. Meanwhile Lenny spots a softball team sign up. …
The Choir: Boys Don’t Sing - Episode 2 TV Show
The second episode of The Choir: Boys Don’t Sing was quite interesting to watch. I’m still left wishing they’d not tried to cover so much ground in such a short period of airtime, though. The events cover literally months and yet we see a great deal of …

Ghost Hunters: The Stanley Hotel
Well, they didn’t find a whole lot but I have to say the Ghost Hunters investigation into the Stanley Hotel (which inspired the book/movie The Shining) turned out to be one of the better episodes.
The evidence captured on film was a bit on the short side. But, I will …
M*A*S*H: As Time Goes By
M*A*S*H: As Time Goes By is probably the best show in some ways ever done in the history of this groundbreaking show. It’s certainly memorable. This is the final regular episode of M*A*S*H. However, the movie that would follow it was actually filmed earlier in the …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Sixteen —“ The Tribe

Dead Weight is another first season installment of the Columbo series, which was actually a once a month event back in those days. The show begins with the revelation that a major general’s private company won bids unfairly, thanks to the help of a corporal. When the …
M*A*S*H: Fade Out, Fade In
Season 6 begins with the fading out of Major Frank Burns and the fading in of Major Charles Winchester in M*A*S*H: Fade Out, Fade In. There really just wasn’t any use of the Burns character anymore.
For the entire stint of the show, Frank had been a bumbling, cowardly …
Fox TV show series “Gang Related”
The new hit series airing on the Foxx network called “Gang Related” schedules every night on Thursdays in the United States. Already off to the 4th upcoming episode airing on Thursday, the show has already earned a high ranking among my choice of quality Television entertaining. Ofcourse that is …

The show is about the stories of separate and ordinary people who develop extraordinary superhuman abilities and powers which lead them into fulfilling their destined roles in saving the whole world.

The Simpson’s: The Way We Weren’t
I finally got a chance to watch the entire Simpson’s episode “The Way We Weren’t.” I have seen bits and pieces of it in the past but none of it made a whole lot of sense until last night.
Overall, it wasn’t too bad of an episode.
Basically, Homer and Marge …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Beacon TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 27th episode of its third season was called Underwater Beacon, so named mostly from a piece of equipment deep sea diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) was checking out for the United States Coast Guard.
Though not my favorite stories as a rule, I do like to see the …
Gilligan’s Island - Home Sweet Hut TV Show
This is episode two and the castaways have decided to build a hut, only one hut to live in. I love how the castaways are optimistic even at the thought of having to live on a deserted island for years and years. Gilligan always causes crazy accidents and this …
CBS.com
Let me start off by saying that I am a very happy that most of the big TV networks have sites that allow you to watch a good deal of their programing on the net. I still watch regular TV but there are a number of times that programs …
Home Improvement An Older Woman
I’m a huge fan of the show Psych so when I saw Maggie Lawson starring on a re-run of Home Improvement at lunch today, I had to take a few minutes to watch it.
Overall, the episode, entitled “An Older Woman” was pretty decent. Most of the episodes from that …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 9: Silence in the Library
After a light-hearted, comedic episode, the show dives right into nightmare fuel territory with this episode. I’m surprised this doesn’t get more regard as it was fantastic. It probably ranks as one of the creepiest episodes of the series so far. Honestly, it puts “Blink” to …
The X-Files Fire Episode
The first thought which came to my mind when I watched this episode of “The X-Files” was “Weird “. I thought it was a lot stranger for some reason than many of the episodes of the popular 1990s American television series which I had watched as this episode involved …

Reliance DTH, Big TV
BIG TV is a DTH (Direct to Home) service from Reliance, a Anil Ambani group.
