Stargate: Infinity TV Show
As often happens, when a life action TV series gains success, the networks and powers that be will often try to capitalize on the popularity by producing a children’s animated series based on the plot. While some tend to stay true to the original series, others use it …
Scrubs: Our First Day of School
I kind of lost track of Scrubs about midway through the last season. My DVR wasn’t working and there are way too many shows on to watch. I had read that they were going to renew the show for another season, even though most of the cast …
That 70s Show: Eric’s Burger Job
Well, that episode of “That 70s Show” was pretty decent; Eric’s Burger Job.
Basically, the episode has Eric getting a job at “Fatso Burger” working as a cashier and doing other crappy jobs around the restaurant. He does it to prove to Red he’s responsible and, even though he hates …
Mr. Bean TV series
I was able to watch a re-run of the show in the Disney Channel last week. It still made me laugh my heart out. But nothing compares to the first time that you’ve seen Mr. Bean do his crazy antics. I …
Life Beyond Trek: Leonard Nimoy featurette
This feature, Life Beyond Trek: Leonard Nimoy, is really fascinating. As the title indicates, it delves into Nimoy’s life beyond the famous Star Trek series. In his case, it doesn’t even involve acting. In this wonderful piece, the man shares with viewers his love of photography.
I’ve …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bird of Time TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bird of Time, an episode which aired early in the western’s sixth season on the air, went right into the action, avoiding one of the traditional San Francisco openings. I always lament the lack of the fancy Paladin beginnings. They add …

Mr. Krabs decides that he needed to take a day off because he was overworked. When Mr. Krabs is away for the day, Squidward thinks that it is a great idea if he could take the day off of work as well. He thinks that there is so many …
The Best of the Tony Awards - The Plays

Meanwhile, a young rabbi …
MacGyver: Rock the Cradle
Bruce McGill might as well have been added to the opening credits of MacGyver in the third season. He was on the show all the time, including this entry called Rock the Cradle. This time, Jack has roped Mac into helping with Dalton Air. That doesn’t …
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says “What Are Friends For?” TV Show
From 1980, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says “What Are Friends For?” was the first one not directed and written by series creator, Steven J. Cannell, and it showed. While the essence of the wonderful characters of E.L. ‘Tenspeed’ Turner, played brilliantly by Ben Vereen, and Lionel Whitney, …
Star Trek: The Gamesters of Triskelion TV Show
Halfway through its second season, Star Trek aired The Gamesters of Triskelion in which Kirk, Uhura, and Chekhov are taken from the Enterprise to Triskelion where they are enslaved as thralls, forced to fight for the amusement of their captors.
I can’t say much about the costumes in this arena …
The Parkers TV show
I think The Parkers is an OK TV show. Sometimes they show was funny, but I was annoyed by it at times. I really think this show was not written very well. The main plot of the show was Monique the fat woman trying to hook up with the professor. …
Bones: The Con Man in the Meth Lab
Well, we finally get introduced to Booth’s brother in the episode The Con Man in the Meth Lab and find out the importance of not judging someone a saint on first impressions. Sure, he seemed perfectly charming to Bones and just about everyone else meeting him for the first …
House: Wilson
Last night’s episode of House was actually quite good. It still didn’t have a case that was overly hard to diagnose but at least Wilson got more air time than a quick cameo appearance. In fact, the entire episode was really about him and his involvement with one of …
The 2009 Hollywood Christmas Parade
The annual The 2009 Hollywood Christmas Parade began poorly with some horrible camera work. The two hosts, Erik Estrada and Laura McKenzie weren’t centered in the camera frame, resulting in Estrada having a third of his body, including his face, cut off. It was just horrid.
The parade …
Hawaii Five-O - The First Season DVD set
The first season of Hawaii Five-O is offered in slim pack cases, with two disks in each jacket, except for the last one. That’s a total of seven disks. Now I have some concerns about these slim packs because there are some that can actually damage DVDs …
M*A*S*H: Cementing Relationships
I really can’t say all that much for M*A*S*H: Cementing Relationships, which to me is just an okay episode. There are two main plots going on. One deals with the 4077th’s quest to get a new floor for the operating room. Apparently, patients are getting infections …
Highway Patrol: The Search TV Show
The first story of the second season of Highway Patrol was called The Search and aired in October 1956. It’s a pretty basic story, I’m afraid. It’s all about a murderer who is trying to avoid capture. He’s a charming sort and manages to get people …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Escape from Death Island
Apparently, when you do a show like this, you have to have a Devil’s Island type of prison. For Bring ‘Em Back Alive, it was Kampoon. For Tales of the Gold Monkey, we get to see their version in Escape from Death Island. It begins with
Jake …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Complete Second Season
The second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation is not as good as the first season. In the second season, the stories did not seem to contain as much wonder and sense of excitement and exploration, like in the first season episodes “Encounter at Farpoint, Parts One and …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - Krusty Towers
Mr. Krabs has always been looking for a way to make extra money, so he decides that he is going to construct a hotel building to make more money. Squidward thinks it is a terrible idea, and he is really upset because he has to wait on the guests …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Skin of Evil
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Skin of Evil is an enjoyable episode that features a rarity on a Star Trek show: the death of a main character. Now, granted, the only reason this main character died is because the person wanted to leave the show, but the writers …
American Horror Story Pilot Episode
American Horror Story is a new TV series from the FX channel. I have read a lot of previews and things to expect with this TV series but I still could not comment until I have seen it. Earlier today I saw the pilot episode. Basically this series is …
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
I have really got into these reality series shows. Being in the UK we will be behind in the scheduling of the programmes, but I have now managed to see all series of the New York ones, as well as the Miami and some of the Jersey ones. This …
Breaking Bad: Season 1, Episode 2: Cat’s In The Bag
This episode picks up where the last left off. With the two drug dealers dead, Walt and PInkman have to find a way to dispose of the bodies. You’d think that, since they’re in a vast desert, that this would be a fairly simple matter, but Walt …
Felicity Huffman on Ellen - (2009 show)
Did you guys manage to watch Felicity Huffman on Ellen for this year 2009 interview? I did and it was a good one and funny too. Both Ellen and Felicity are very funny people and they are both witty and charming. Felicity is one of the best …
iCarly TV Episode: I have My Principals
Synopsis: After making a guest appearance on Carly’s web show, her principal is fired and she puts together an effort to get him back.
What I liked about this episode: I don’t watch this show very often (we usually only watch it while waiting for Spongebob to come on for …
M*A*S*H: C*A*V*E
M*A*S*H: C*A*V*E from season seven gives us new information about our chief surgeon. It seems Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is claustrophobic. I’m not quite sure how we’ve missed this in all of these seasons, considering the various buildings and situations Hawkeye has been in, but apparently we …
CHiPs: Supercycle
Quite honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of CHiPs: Supercycle. I’m not sure why, but the idea of this supercycle bothers me. Maybe it’s too Evil Kneivel for me.
One of the reasons the show doesn’t hit me with goodness is that there is too much time …
Stargate SG-1: 1969
1969 was indeed a very good year, at least for the team members of SG-1 when they end up walking through the Stargate and finding themselves not in their own time anymore.
Stargate SG-1: 1969 is really a super fun episode that I adore watching. The team’s reaction to their …

From November 1960, the second year of this western series, Laramie: License to Kill is one awesome hour of television entertainment. In this episode, a bounty hunter named Sam Jarrett hunts down Jess Harper (Robert Fuller), claiming that he killed a man in Willow, Colorado.
Reluctantly, Jess goes along, …
Bones TV Episode: The Man in the Cell
Well, that was an episode I have never seen before and one I wish I would have seen sooner because it made a few later episodes of Bones a little easier to understand.
The Man in the Cell had Brennan and Booth chasing serial killer Howard Epps after he escaped …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 8: The Hungry Earth
The Doctor and crew arrive in 2020, only to come across some mysterious phenomena. There are patches of blue grass seen around the area and the Earth itself seems to be pulling people in. No, it’s not the work of Gaia, but the work of a species …

Naruto Episode 3 Subbed
Following in the footsteps of the previous episode, episode 3 of Naruto is almost solely dedicated to comedic relief and character development. Also like episode 2, episode 3 is surprisingly fun, entertaining, and captivating. We finally get to meet some new major characters in the form of Naruto’s two …
Lost TV Show
Lost is a television series on every Wednesday evening at 10 pm central on CTV. It gets better and better each time I see it. The mystery involved in this story is so intriguing, it reveals a different scenario for each character every episode. Basically, the passengers of an …
M*A*S*H: For the Good of the Outfit
This episode is a bit controversial. In M*A*S*H: For the Good of the Outfit, the medical personnel realize that the victims of an incident in a nearby town were wounded by American devices. While Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) isn’t that thrilled to follow through, he tells …
Burn Notice Season 2 DVD set
The Burn Notice Season 2 DVD set is a four disk set containing all the episodes from the second season. Each disk has a nice color photo of one of the show’s four stars — Jeffrey Donovan, Gabrielle Anwar, Bruce Campbel, and Sharon Gless. This makes them …
White Collar: Threads
Well, this second episode of White Collar wasn’t too bad considering I had a few doubts after the pilot episode.
At least, in this case, which involved New York Fashion week, he actually proved why he was, at one point, a criminal mastermind and used his intelligence to help trap …
The Amazing Race
The Amazing Race is a cool show. There are so many things I like about this one. Basically the premise is a bunch of couples embark on a race around the world for a million dollars. They have challenges in every country and the couple that …
Sea Hunt: Monte Cristo TV Show
I enjoyed Sea Hunt: Monte Cristo quite a bit for several reasons. For one thing, when we saw scenes in the ocean, we saw some of the sea life. It was a little bit more than some of the shows I’ve seen lately.
For another thing, I loved …
Crystal Bowersox, front-runner on American Idol season 10
I’m almost ashamed to admit it, but I’m hooked on American Idol, and if I miss an episode, my day’s not quite complete. I’ve been watching from the very beginning, since the initial auditions, and since then, Crystal Bowersox has been my favorite contestant.
Now that they’re almost down …
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story was a hoot and one of the best non-Robert Fuller episodes of Wagon Train. Fuller actually missed several episodes due to an accident, so it’s a long stretch without seeing Cooper Smith. Still, this story had some fun in it.
Melanie …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder Most Vial TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder Most Vial from season two centers around an unhappy multi-millionaire named William Bissell who sues the hospital for malpractice. It’s a frivolous lawsuit really since the nasty tycoon admits he hasn’t been following doctor’s orders. He ultimately becomes the murder victim. By the …
