The Apprentice UK - Episode 1
On a whim, I saw this offered ‘on demand’ on cable and decided to turn it on. ‘This’ is The Apprentice UK, its first episode. This is the British version of Donald Trump’s Apprentice on NBC. Here, it’s Sir Alan Sugar running the show. He …
The New Adventures Of Old Christine
I’m always willing to give new shows a chance especially when the shows I love are in reruns or have been replaced with shows I don’t like. One of these was the case with The New Adventures of Old Christine. The ads that were run from the show took …
Fireball XL5: Space Pirates
Fireball XL5: Space Pirates tickles me pink. Anytime I see a group of puppets being used in a different plot device, it makes me smile. In this case, Gerry Anderson had the beautiful Venus, a space doctor, visiting the Jonathan Zero, Jr., the son of Commander Zero. …
Laramie: Rimrock TV Show
Laramie is my all time favorite show. The stories were fresh and intriguing, and the stories were just top notch. This episode from the third season is called Rimrock. It actually starts out very fun and carefree with a scene that really made me smile and …
The Twilight Zone: The Old Man in the Cave TV Show
From November 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Old Man in the Cave has its moments, but it’s not really a favorite episode. It’s more odd than appealing, and I’ve never found it to be all that satisfying as entertainment goes.
Apparently, some bomb has gone off, and the world …
CHARMED, a T.V. SERIES
I like to watch an excellent show, if I am going to take the time out to watch television. I have found that ‘Charmed’, is one of those kind of shows that is a series, yet, has a start and a finish to each show. I like that. …
Whose Line Is It Anyway? TV Show
First off, I would just like to say I love this show!
The comedians are really talented, the whole consept of the show is great!
How the whole thing works, is the host (Drew Carrey), will take suggestions from the audience on what scenes the comedians(Ryan Stiles, Colin Mocherie, Wayne …
Goin Bulilit
I have always loved watching funny shows; I think it is a good stress buster. In the Philippines, gag shows and funny shows, and even sitcoms have become really few these days; mostly people have concentrated on getting Korean novellas, and foreign shows. If not, locally produced shows are …
Hair Battle Spectacular: Bright Lights, Big City TV Show
Hair Battle Spectacular: Bright Lights, Big City was the latest episode of this fantasy hairdo reality competition. For the Check Up from the Neck Up event, the stylists are challenged to make a fantasy hair hat design that is inspired by the outfit the models are wearing.

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 …
Dexter - season 1 - Complete season
So how did this award-winning tv show start? Well Dexter, in my opinion, is a very distinctive tv show from all the others. It is not a simple crimishow. The whole idea of Dexter, as shown in season 1, is to portray the crime scene from Dexter´s point of …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Raw
I finally got a chance to watch the full Law & Order SVU episode entitled Raw last night. And, I have to say it was one that got my attention.
Basically, the episode starts out with a school shooting (those always disturb me a bit considering my oldest is in …
That Girl: A Tenor’s Loving Care
Carroll O’Connor guest stars in That Girl: A Tenor’s Loving Care as a blustery and arrogant tenor who Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) is supposed to interview, or at least try to interview. When Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes with him, Giuseppe Casanetti, the tenor, says he’ll only to …

Make Me a Supermodel (Bravo)
Modeling shows are fascinating to me because I like to see regular people showcasing their ability to become really fashionable. And I think that a lot of people have the potential to be great models. So in that sense, these reality shows are quite helpful. …
A Certain Justice - Part 3
The conclusion to A Certain Justice was better than Part 2, which I felt was a bit slow in this mystery crime story from P.D. James. This is the part where we get to the genius that the Commander Adam Dalgliesh is supposed to be. The puzzle …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Two - Squid on Strike
Squidward is getting mad at Mr. Krabs because they are down a little in sales and he tries to blame it on the staff not doing their job. He gets so mad that he convinces Spongebob that they should go on strike to show Mr. Krabs that he should …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Fogg Bound from December 1960 is more of a humorous outing for this western series which starred Richard Boone as Paladin, the gunfighter for hire. The show is based on the Jules Verne creation, “Around the World in 80 days.”
The show opens with …

Family Guy 10-4: Stewie Goes for A Drive
I want to walk outside and scream up at the sky. Asking what has been happening to one of the best cartoons on television. Family Guy has been sinking to new lows with their Season 10, but this episode was just a sinker. It hit the iceberg and the …
So You Think You Can Dance: Top Four Perform TV Show
So You Think You Can Dance: Top Four Perform was a wonderful evening of entertainment. I really like these top four dancers. They have talent, personality, and heart. I don’t sense anything but support and desire to do their best from any of them. All …
Top Chef: Foreign Affairs TV Show
Top Chef: Foreign Affairs began with scenes from last week that shows again how Alex stole another contestant’s pea puree and lied about it. All fingers point to him, and now he’s on my naughty list. Of course, we haven’t seen the full proof that he took …
Laramie: The Killer Legend TV Show
Jess Harper (Robert Fuller) is acting as sheriff in Laramie as the action in this hour of Laramie begins. Entitled The Killer Legend, this is a very strong hour of programming and one that I just love to watch. Before the opening teaser ends, Jess finds himself …

The X-Files Scary Monsters Episode
I thought that this was one of the most fascinating episodes from the popular 1990s television show “The X-Files”. I thought it was fascinating first because of the introduction to the show as well as the plot of the whole episode. The characters themselves were also quite interesting especially …
Friends TV show
Most of you probably remember, from 1994 to 2004, the television show, “Friends.” When the show first started off, people involved in the show were not entirely positive that it would stick around beyond the first few episodes. Lisa Kudrow even kept her role on the show …
The Simpsons: Dangerous Curves
Tonight was the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode Dangerous Curves and I have to say it was one of the more interesting episodes I’ve seen.
Basically, this episode gave us some insight into Homer and Marge’s past; both before she became pregnant and they got married and a …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chain of Command, Part Two
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chain of Command, Part Two is one of the series’ darkest episodes and also one of the show’s best. In this episode, a captured Captain Picard is interrogated, humiliated and tortured by a member of the Cardassian military while Captain Jellico works on …
Supergirl episode 4: Livewire, TV show
From the first 6 episodes aired so far, “Livewire” was my highlight episode because a) Helen Slater as Eliza Danvers (Kara’s adopted mom) makes for a longer appearance b) Dean Cain (seen in flashbacks) c) we finally get more glimpses into Cat Grant’s (Kara’s boss) personality, and d)Eliza and …
Smallville Season 8 Episode 5
At first i thought this episode was a little bit off. A jeweler kidnaps Chloe and Jimmy, hooks them up to a lie detector test and asks them questions to determine if their love is true. If the lie they get an electric shock.
Weird huh?
I didn’t really …
Laramie: General Delivery
I absolutely adore the General Delivery episode of Laramie. It’s the first show that Rod Cameron guest starred in, and each of his episodes were gems. Cameron is a dynamic actor, and he brings quality to all of his portrayals.
In Laramie: General Delivery, Ed Calder is a …
South Park: Make Love, Not Warcraft
Every now and again, the writers of South Park come up with an idea so cheesy, and so pointless, that it turns out being fantastic. The idea to write an episode that would take place primarily in the world of warcraft may be a few years late, but it …
M*A*S*H: Iron Guts Kelly
It had to happen sooner or later and as it turns out, it happened in the third season of this hit comedy series about the Korean War. In M*A*S*H: Iron Guts Kelly, a general arrives for a stopover at the 4077th. With General Kelly is his number …

Seven days Season 2 Episode 20
So for the episode 19 I wrote that is was really a ridiculous one, but this one is not far behind.
There’s this girl in Boston who can’t find a prom date so she invites the cutes guy in the school. She is a nerd so the boy refuses her …
Star Trek: And the Children Shall Lead TV Show
Star Trek: And the Children Shall Lead is truly a show I’ve always remembered. I think it’s because as a kid Melvin Belli scared me to death. The famous attorney was somehow convinced to do this role where he plays this nasty being named Gorgan who …
CSI Season 5 Episode 4
CSI Season 5 Episode 4
It wasn’t a bad episode, yet it wasn’t very good either. Very average for the show. And I think, it was trying to send some moral lesson, but it wasn’t clear enough to do that. Also, the method in both cases was similar- the writing …
M*A*S*H: Sometimes You Hear the Bullet
M*A*S*H: Sometimes You Hear the Bullet is a masterpiece edition of this show in my opinion. I clearly recall watching this show the first time it aired. In fact, I taped it on a cassette recorder when it was rerun because I thought it was just that …
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Ring TV Show
I’m still trying out No Ordinary Family but I’m not sure that I’ll be sticking with the full season. There are elements of the show that I like. It’s different in that it’s not a family gaining super powers who then all become super heroes. Rather, …
Full Metal Alchemist: Show
Full metal Alchemist is an excellent show by Funimation. I’m literally getting chills just thinking about it.
The story is about 2 boys who study an ancient science-like art called alchemy. Alchemy can deconstruct and reconstruct matter. The story is a great concept. The main phrase that they use …
The Virginian: The Mountain of the Sun
The Virginian: The Mountain of the Sun combines incredible courage and a love story. It combines for an average tale for this western TV series. I’m really not that crazy about this episode. This is a 90-minute show and this story is an hour one, so …
Spongebob Squarepants - The Algae’s Always Greener
My daughters and I love to watch Spongebob almost everyday. He is so cute and comical. I like to purchase the boxed sets on DVD versus watching him on television because then you can pick the episodes you want and do not have to worry about the …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Wish
As far as episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer go, “The Wish” was actually a bit corny and not one of my favorites.
This one takes place after Cordelia catching Xander kissing Willow and she ends up making a wish to a demon that Buffy had never come to Sunnydale. …
Acclaimed British Television Show on BBC America: “Doctor Who”
Americans, and other people groups around the world, seem to either despise or adore British humor, as seen in British television shows and movies. One television show that has won worldwide acclaim for over three decades is “Doctor Who.” A series accounting the adventures of the only Time Lord, …
Wings Season 3 DVD
I’ve been a fan of the sitcom Wings for years now, though I don’t think I ever watched the show when it was actually brand new. Instead I was one of the people who ended up watching it when it was shown on USA during its syndication years. Every …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Manicurist TV Show
From its second season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Manicurist is memorable mainly for its guest star, Barbara Eden. Best known for starring in I Dream of Jeannie, Eden was an eye popper for the men, and that is exactly what this show put in full focus when …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Earshot
A few years ago, I remember hearing about a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode that nearly got cancelled because it depicted school violence and the nation had just gone through the tragedy of the Columbine shootings.
I finally got to see that episode “Earshot” last night and have to say …
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties is not really my style. It opens with Sam and Vala returning from a shopping trip, the two all decked out and drawing attention as they walk down the corridors of the SGC. I guess they wanted to show these two are friends. …
