The X-Files Sleepless Episode
Like many other episodes of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files” I thought this one was also quite interesting. In fact, I can remember a familiar face of an actor in there who seems to star in many B-Movies such as “The Candyman” and “The Strange Case …
Sea Hunt: The Catalyst TV Show
The Catalyst is the 32nd episode of Sea Hunt’s third season on the air, and it revolves around a man’s murder and his daughter’s quest to complete his latest project.
The show opened with the strange death of an inventor named Calvin. While under water, he was essentially put …
The Apprentice UK - Episode 3
Sir Alan Sugar, the UK’s Donald Trump only more to the point, mixed up the teams in this third episode of The Apprentice UK. Now, the men and the women had to work together. He also appointed the team leaders himself, choosing Matthew and Adele. Adele …
Stargate SG-1: Desperate Measures
Stargate SG-1: Desperate Measures has its moments, but it’s another story that is Earth-based and not really a big favorite.
Among the pluses is another appearance by Tom McBeath as Harry Maybourne, and that means some good Jack and Harry craziness. The two characters have a crazy connection and …
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Ambush (Episode 1)
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Ambush (Episode 1)
This is the first episode of “The Clone Wars” TV series. So far it is also my favorite episode, even though it’s mainly about Master Yoda. This picture shows us why he’s a Master Jedi, how clever and wise he really is. …
On the Road with Austin and Santino: Season 1 Premier TV Show
Austin Scarlett and Santino Rice, one time contestants on Project Runway, have their own show now called On the Road with Austin and Santino. Some folks might consider it a condensed version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy as the two designers go on the road all …
Dancing with the Stars: S11, Wk 2 Performance TV Show
For the second week of the current season of Dancing with the Stars, the stars danced either the quick step or the jive. Note, I don’t always agree with the judges, especially these three who I feel now pick favorites early and comment and score appropriately. Following …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 17: Sea Fright
This episode was a blast to watch. Oddly enough, the Ghostbusters themselves take a backseat. They’re pretty much along for the ride as a crew of ghost pirates, or were they pirate ghosts? What was the difference again? Whatever, the ghost crew arrives in New York …
Hammertime (Reality Show)
I was a little leery of watching MC Hammer’s new reality show. It seems that every rapper or washed up celebrity is trying to keep their career going by inviting cameras into their personal lives. I will admit that I enjoyed one or two of his …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 42: Bustman’s Holiday
After the heavy, serious tone of the Cthulu episode, we get a more lighthearted adventure. It may not be as epic as the last episode, but it is certainly enjoyable in its own right. In fact, the humor is actually quite welcome.
This episode takes the team to …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The I in team
Well, I’m still not fully aware of what exactly the Initiative is or what they are trying to accomplish. But, at least in the episode “The I in Team” we now know that they are not going to be on friendly terms with Buffy.
At first, I thought she was …
Stargate SG-1: The Serpent’s Lair
Season 2 of Stargate SG-1 opens with an emotional conclusion to the season-ending arc of the prior year. It’s a gripping tale that will bring tears to many, smiles to even more, and an absolutely wonderful ending that spawned the legendary Space Monkey.
Stargate SG-1: The Serpent’s Lair has …
The League of Gentlemen - Series One
The League of Gentlemen is a strange show. Set in the fictional, northern town of Royston Vasey populated by a rabble of bizarre individuals; the show, superficially, appears a traditional enough sitcom. But it’s not.
Rather than jump between sketches, putting the same old faces through the same old …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: 9-14-10 TV Show
I like the laid back manner in which Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn is produced. Even though instructional cooking shows aren’t my thing, I find myself more curious than I would be normally because Lucuinda looks and sounds approachable. In this September 14, 2010 show, she …
Dr. Phil
I don’t usually watch Dr. Phil because it comes on during the evening (at 7pm) when I’m usually out hanging with my friends at school or watching one of my favorite shows. However, whenever I do get the chance to watch it I find it interesting to see the …
The Andy Griffith Show: High Noon in Mayberry TV Show
Leo Gordon returns to The Andy Griffith Show playing an ex-con named Luke Comstock in this 1963 episode entitled High Noon in Mayberry. The main comedy thrust comes from the wrong analysis of Barney Fife (Don Knotts) when reading a letter that his friend, Sheriff Andy Taylor (Griffith) …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man of Many Faces TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man of Many Faces, episode 6 of season 4, and begins with a shocker. Well, for those who fall for these sort of things, anyway. We’re at a press conference where Dr. Randolph Mason claims that Admiral Nelson is opposed …
Star Trek the Next Generation TV Episode: Hollow Pursuits
Last night, I was flipping through channels on TV and came across a Star Trek the Next Generation episode that is among my favorites from the series (at least of the ones I have actually watched); Hollow Pursuits.
I like this episode for a couple of reasons. First, it has …
Survivor Season 20 Episode 1 Surviving Survivor
This episode of Survivor was really fun to watch. It was a special show remembering those who had competed in Survivor in the past 19 seasons and how they were doing after the show.
The parts I really enjoyed was watching new clips of Russell Hantz who is my …
Out of This World: Evie’s Thirteenth Birthday TV Show
Evie’s Thirteenth Birthday is the very first episode of 1987’s Out of This World, a half-hour weekly show that I just loved. It’s science fiction mixed with comedy, and it has a super cast.
It’s Evie Garland’s 13th birthday, and she gets an unexpected surprise. As it turns …
The Twilight Zone: Back There TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Back There features Russell Johnson as Pete Corrigan, a gentlemen of some stature who finds himself going from April 14, 1961 to that same date in 1865. He’s just finished having a theoretical discussion about going back in time and being able to change things …
Highway Patrol: Killer on the Run TV Show
Highway Patrol aired for four seasons back in the early days of television. It’s a rather iconic series for those who love police shows. This episode was the 29th one to air in 1959 and is called Killer on the Run.
The plot follows a man named Les …
The Andy Griffith Show: Bailey’s Bad Boy TV Show
From January 1962, Bill Bixby shines as the main guest star in The Andy Griffith Show: Bailey’s Bad Boy, a show from season two. Bixby plays Ronald Bailey, the son of a wealthy and powerful man. He’s spoiled and used to getting his way. He has …
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 …
Sliders Double Cross
This could have really been a quite good episode of Sliders. It has a somewhat interesting take on some of the problems that face our own world (the idea of diminishing resources), a chance for our four homesick Sliders to finally make their way home as well as …
Grampa’s Silly Scaries
I watched a movie with my daughter yesterday afternoon called Grampa’s Silly Scaries. This was basically a bunch of old black and white cartoons being shown with Grampa Munster (Al Lewis) being cast as the host.
I wasn’t impressed with the movie.
First of all, how many young kids really know …
The Twilight Zone: The Last Flight TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Last Flight is an intriguing time travel type of episode which aired in the first season of this premium science fiction series from the mind of Rod Serling. Serling narrates the story, as always.
The Last Flight hones in on a World War I British …
CSI Season 5 Episode 13- Nesting Dolls
I thought this episode was really interesting, just from the point of view of the human drama of it. I don’t know if the investigation was really that interesting or exciting. I do know for sure that the acting like a Russian part did not go well. It was …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Zero Hour TV Show
This futuristic story that aired originally in January 1992 was called The Ray Bradbury Theater: Zero Hour. Overall, I thought it was a story that began with a lot of potential but then took a wrong turn and ended up a bit sour, at least for me. …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Choices
While I normally like Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes, the episode entitled “Choices” was a bit weak compared to other season 3 episodes.
This one had some drama. You have Buffy wanting to go on to college and leave Sunnydale but, at the same time, knows she really doesn’t have …
CAREFUL WHEN YOU BUY ON JEWELRY TV
Jewelry T.V. or ACNtv.com has been on the air for about twelve years, and I have used their station to buy far too much jewelry, but, I love everything I get! What I want to give my review on, is WHEN to buy on this station.
Jewelry t.v. has two …
The Fall Guy: The Human Torch TV Show
One thing about The Fall Guy, it has an old school opening that you just don’t see much anymore. The full theme plus standard intro in this first season lasts almost three minutes. In this era of 10 second, title only spots, this feels like forever. …
The Jeffersons - Florence’s Problem
The Jeffersons didn’t touch on serious subjects too often like the series it was spin-off from, namely All in the Family, but in the case of this episode, “Florence’s Problem”, it did try to explore a situation that wasn’t entirely comedy-themed, although the writers still manage to give characters …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Judge Judy Sheindlin TV Show
For the past couple of years, actor William Shatner has had a very interesting half hour series called Shatner’s Raw Nerve. It’s a great concept, and it’s not a normal talk show. It really is a one on one chat between Shatner and his guest, which in …
The Twilight Zone: The Silence TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Silence, a second season outing for this classic TV series, is one that I don’t like to watch too often because it bothers me. I have a hard time just looking at it as entertainment. It’s primarily about a very bad joke that …
Simpsons TV Episode: Papa Don’t Leech
Synopsis: While reluctantly helping country music star Lurleen Lumpkin get back on her feet, Marge discovers Lurleen’s dad abandoned her and seeks to reunite her with her father. Unfortunately, the dad turns out to be even more of a deadbeat than they imagined and he steals one of her …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Revelations
I have to say season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer really isn’t as light hearted as the first two seasons. In fact, you have so much going on at once, it’s actually starting to get confusing. The episode “Revelations” is a good example.
The episode itself focuses on a …
Everybody Loves Raymond TV show
Everybody Loves Raymond is based on the comedy of stand-up comedian Ray Romano. I got hooked on this show when a friend of mine who hardly ever watches this TV starting telling me about it. I figure if he likes it, there’s got to be something worth watching here. …
That Girl: My Sister’s Keeper
One of the best shows of the entire That Girl series was this third season show called My Sister’s Keeper. I’ve remembered this episode from the very first time I saw it, and in fact, I remember some of the publicity from it when it originally aired.
The co-producer …
Sliders Complete First and Second Seasons
There was a time when Sliders was one of my favorite shows on television. A unique science fiction television series, it highlighted the adventures of four travelers as they “slid” between parallel dimensions, trying desperately to find their way home.
These first two seasons are the highpoint of the …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Death Race to Oblivion
The cold open has the villain, Blockbuster appear at a museum. Batman confronts the boy, named Desmond before he drinks a vial of a chemical that transforms him into a hulking monster. Blockbuster’s voice sounds quite a bit like Solomon Grundy from the DCAU and had …
The Twilight Zone: The Dummy TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Dummy is another episode of this science fiction series that doesn’t appeal to me. I tend to turn it off if it comes on TV. All of these shows with ventriloquist dummies all tend to be a little too out there because …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Flaming Ice TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Flaming Ice, the 22nd show from season four, guest starred Michael Pate as Gelid, along with regulars Richard Basehart and David Hedison as Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane respectively. The Seaview is under the arctic cap and yet the temperature outside …
Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV Episode: Don’t Come Back Alive
I’ve had the Alfred Hitchcock song stuck in my head for the past couple of days for no apparent reason. So, I decided it must be a sign that I should start watching Alfred Hitchcock presents again and loaded it back into my Netflix Instant Watch Queue.
The baby had …
Daily Show with John Stewart
Many years ago the Daily Show gained a cult following under the leadership of its original host, Craig Kilborn. With success came better offers for Mr. Kilborn, however, and he eventually made the switch to network television. John Stewart took his place.
Initially lacking, he soon came to …
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 …
Christmas Night (The Little King) cartoon
The Little King - Christmas Night is a vintage cartoon presented by SoGlow. I actually watched several holiday comics from the golden age today, and this was probably not only the most simplistic of the bunch but my least favorite.
The story revolves around a king who seems a …
The Biggest Loser
I love The Biggest Loser. My mom and I watch it every Tuesday together. I find it motivational. It does get frustrating, however, if you’re trying to lose weight with the show because they lose so much because all they do is exercise every day. I have learned, however, …
