Laramie: The Fortune Hunter TV show
From the fourth season of Laramie, The Fortune Hunter is one of the buddy shows that I love so much. By this I mean that it features both stars, John Smith and Robert Fuller, in their roles of Slim Sherman and Jess Harper. It’s the friendship between …
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 …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Narcotics TV Show
Sea Hunt: Underwater Narcotics, the 34th show to air in season three back in August 1960, surprised me a little in that it was almost a lesson on drugs. It dealt with marijuana, or rather, a hybrid form of the drug which Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) discovers underwater.
The …
Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne: Part 2 TV Show
Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne: Part 2 continues to show the choir master’s latest challenge which is to put together a teenage choir to perform an opera on stage. He has six weeks. I haven’t seen part 1 yet, but apparently, he screened 450 students and brought …

White Horse Village (BBC Documentary)
There’s nothing to return to for the residents of White Horse village who are now practically aliens to their own hometown. Wuxi might still be located on the same coordinates on the globe but it’s now an entirely new place: a home to nobody except buildings and infrastructures and …
Parking Wars: S4, Ep 4 TV Show
Parking Wars continued its fourth TV season with this episode that focused on events in Detroit as well as Philadelphia.
The lure of this series is just seeing how dumb people can be. It’s actually a sad sign of our culture, that people don’t take responsibility for themselves and …
The Wendy Williams Show
I love to watch talk shows during the day because it is entertaining and I love the gossip part of it and that is exactly what the Wendy Williams show is all about. Her show is quite different from other shows and she doesn’t have just ordinary people on …
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Overall, I am not a Reality TV fan, but there is one program that I like. It is Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I enjoy watching the makeover team build a whole new house in just a week, it is simply amazing. But what I like the most about this …
Simpsons - That Birdie In the Window
This was one of those Simpsons episodes that I just say, were they really so out of ideas that they must have just looked out a window and saw a bird and that’s where the idea of the episode came from. Even if the whole idea of using a …
The Twilight Zone: The Masks TV Show
From March 1964, The Twilight Zone: The Masks is another show that I’m not that fond of. This last season of The Twilight Zone was full of sub par outings that had no real joy in watching them. This one actually isn’t as bad as the shows …
Models of the Runway: Bryant Park Bound
Well, at least the models in Models of the Runway have something to do this time around besides sit around and wait to be eliminated.
Since the designers in Project Runway are forced to create one additional, last second outfit for their fashion show, they need to find an additional …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 7: Zuko Alone
As the title would suggest, this episode features only Zuko. Aang and his crew don’t appear at all, even Uncle Iroh only appears in the “previously on” segment.
Zuko wanders the country side, essentially minding his own business. While stopping for supplies he witnesses a young boy throwing …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Samaritan Snare
The second season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, titled “Samaritan Snare” has a few comical moments to it, but ultimately, the episode is a real mess. By mess, I mean the story is pretty weak and implausible and even boring. In this episode, the Enterprise answers a …
CSI Season 10 Episode 2
I’m just glad that CSI is back on track. To me, it lost its footing in the previous season, which coincided with Grissom’s sabbatical. No matter how of course the producers bandaged the situation, the crack evidently showed.
To me this was understandable, for how do you cope …
Dawsons Creek
Was a television show that lasted for 5 Seasons. It was a late 90’s show, that contained 4 teenagers called Dawson, (James Vender beek.), Joey (Katie Holmes), Pacey (Joshua Jackson) and Jen (Michelle Williams).

Chase: Pilot TV Show
The pilot for the new dramatic series, Chase, told me one huge thing. This is a show that wants to be a cross of In Plain Sight and Criminal Minds. Both of those are excellent series, but can a combination series be unique enough to draw an …

Stargate SG1: Inauguration Season 7, Episode 20
As usual, at the end of each season, Stargate SG1 writers fudge and take the easy way out for an episode, choosing to show us clips from previous episodes. While these clip shows are good for those who are just coming into the Stargate Universe, they are a …
How Clean is your House?
I enjoy ‘How Clean is your House?’ mainly because I find it very motivating when it comes to cleaning my own house. In each episodes, the team visits what the voice-over man calls a ‘filth offender’, someone living in a revoltingly dirty house. Although you or I …
Bones: The Salt in the Wounds
I’m not sure if last night’s episode of Bones “The Salt in the Wounds” was really all that great of an episode. I’m not sure why but I watched it and I was left wanting so much more than I thought.
The case itself was somewhat interesting, you have a …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Phases
OK, normally I object when the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer decides to have our hero fighting something other than a vampire. But, I’m able to forgive the episode Phases because it at least has her fighting a classic enemy; the werewolf.
Of course, the werewolf has a bit more …

M*A*S*H: To Market, to Market
I’ve always remembered this episode because it’s just so dang funny. M*A*S*H: To Market, to Market has Hawkeye and Trapper trying to make a deal on the black market to get some much needed medical supplies. Much of the supplies ordered by the 4077th had been stolen. …
Saved by the Bell
Saved by the Bell was a really cool show that I remember. It was show that brings back to many memories and really made me laugh. The show is about a bunch of kids in high school. It’s very funny and also very entertaining. I think the way the kids …

Much like most other …
Destination Truth: Haunted Forest/Alux

In this episode, the Destination Truth team …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 10
When I watch these old shows I really like to see some actors that I have seen somewhere else, in past or in present. In this episode Roxann Dawson appears, she had roles n different shows back in 90’s but I think that most of us remembers her as …

Tales of the Gold Monkey: Tales of the Gold Monkey: Part 2
Tales of the Gold Monkey, the pilot, Part 2 concludes the pilot, which surprised me by holding my interest.

The lead-in to the election …
Stargate SG-1: Prototype
Stargate SG-1: Prototype is, on the surface, a fairly decent show for the ninth season of this series. It has drama and surprise. My problem is more with characterization and the direction it takes one character.
First things first, in Stargate SG-1: Prototype, the team discovers what turns …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Attack! TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Attack! featured guest stars Skip Homeier as Robek and Kevin Hagen as Komal. This 1968 episode, the 23rd of this science fiction program’s fourth and last season on television, starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison as Captain …
The Defenders: Nevada v. Carter TV Show
The Defenders: Nevada v. Carter had its moments, of good and bad. It’s actually disappointing to me because of how I feel this show could be. In fact, if this show would just be court scenes, it would be great. However, it’s not, and I really …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Discovers America TV Show
Someone finally fit the bill that the producers of The Andy Griffith Show were looking for. I think Aneta Corsaut was super as Helen Crump, Opie’s teacher, but I’m really not sure why she was better than Joanna Moore. Whatever the reason, we meet Miss Crump for …
The Virginian: Rope of Lies TV show
The Virginian: Rope of Lies is aptly named. Of course, it could just as easily be chain of fools. The short of the matter is that everything is manipulated by a beautiful lady, who manages to convince just about all the men in her life to do …
Man vs. Wild show
This show named “Man vs. Wild” is one of my favourite shows on Discovery channel. It is the most important show, which we should follow. This show is starring by Bear Grylls. In this show they show us some wild destinations, and they teach us that if we get …
