The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Screaming Woman TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Screaming Woman opens for the second time with a introductory scene that is actually a bit of an adventure with Bradbury in the mountains holding a divining rod. Another man comes up to him, recognizing him as a sci fi writer. In …
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 Virginian: Silver Image TV Show
The second episode of The Virginian’s seventh season on the air from September 1968 was called Silver Image, and it was far better than I thought it was going to be. The show surrounded a widow of a rancher in Medicine Bow who was in the middle of …
SpongeBob SquarePants
SpongeBob SquarePants is a sponge with a shape of square living in a pineapple in Bikini Bottom. His neighbors and friends are Squidward and his best friend Patrick. Squidward is like always annoyed by Spongebob’s presence. SpongeBob and Patrick loves jellyfishing and always having fun. SpongeBob works as a …
Stargate: Infinity: The Long Haul TV Show
I love the very first image we see in Stargate: Infinity: The Long Haul. It’s just a lovely mix of colors and is beautiful to look at. Too quickly, we’re drawn into the latest effort to escape their attackers. This half hour entry is the last …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 13 - Hide and Seek
A couple of things stand out for me in Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 13 - Hide and Seek. First, I’m feeling a little bad for Rear Admiral Thomas Mallory, the widower with three adult daughters, all of whom are in the middle of some crisis or another. …
Death Note Episode 30 (Anime)
Death Note Episode 30 begins with Near suspecting that Kira is on the Japanese task force and that he’s the new L. Meanwhile, Mello talks to Near about getting his photograph back and Near learns more about the Death Note.
This episode is pretty interesting because it shows …
The Cleaner: Lie With Me
The Cleaner: Lie With Me is the season ender for year one, and frankly, I just don’t get it. I was ultra disappointed in this show. It’s all about the Banks family and how it suddenly spirals downward. All season long, the story has been about …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Dead Men’s Doubloons TV Show
The second season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea rolled on with this 21st episode entitled Dead Men’s Doubloons. Albert Salmi was the main guest star, portraying Brent, the captain of a pirate ship in one era and a modern day captain in search of the …
Scrubs Season One
I never knew that this show was going to be so addicting. I was off of work on vacation for a couple of weeks and watched a couple of late night reruns and I was totally hooked. I started to collect the boxed sets in order so …
Numb3rs: And the Winner Is…
Numb3rs: And the Winner Is… aired on February 5, 2010, and it was probably the most enjoyable episode of the season for me. I’ve really missed not having Peter MacNicol on the show. ABC has taken some cost cutting measures for this series, including reducing the number …
Street Hawk: Dog Eat Dog
Street Hawk: Dog Eat Dog was the fifth episode of the series about Jesse Mach, ex-street cop who now rides a desk while secretly working for the government and fighting crime on his suped-up all terrain motorcycle. Good looking Rex Smith stars as Mach, with average joe Joe …
The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences TV Show
For me, The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences is simply a grating and annoying experience, much like the main character the story surrounds. John McGiver does a nice job as Roswell G. Flemington, a man who loves noise and doesn’t care that he’s perceived as being obnoxious by …
America’s Got Talent: Finale 2010 TV Show
The 2010 America’s Got Talent finale was fairly entertaining. The final four were pretty good. There was the colorful Prince Poppycock, the everyday singer Michael Grimm, the variety act Fighting Gravity, and the young operatic star Jackie Evancho. In my mind, it was down to Grimm and …
Double Divas Reality Show
Double Divas is a reality show that runs on Lifetime about two business women, Cynthia Richards and Molly Hopkins, who run a lingerie store catering to women with larger breast cups.
When I first saw the previews for this show I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but there was …
Masquerade: Diamonds
The opening of this all-too-brief TV drama is a song called, appropriately, Masquerade and is sung by Crystal Gayle, who was one of the hottest country western music singers of the era. I love listening to it. I also love the beginning before the sung starts when …
The Twilight Zone: Death Ship TV Show
I like watching The Twilight Zone: Death Ship, though it’s not a favorite. Still, with Jack Klugman and Ross Martin in the leads, it’s good stuff. It’s also another intriguing plot surrounding death that is thought provoking, though not in terms of relaying a message, but rather, …
Outlaw: Pilot TV Show
The dramatic pilot to Jimmy Smits’ new TV series was somewhat interesting. For me, one of the reasons that Smits’ character of Cyrus Garza works is because he lets himself be a bit older here. I haven’t really liked the younger swag characters that he’s played since …
www.backstage.com
Backstage has for many, many years been an invaluable resources for actors. It began as a print publication, but not, as the technology advances, it has too found its way to the internet. I have started using it only recently, but I can already see what a great resource …
How I Met Your Mother TV show
This is without shadow of a doubt one of the better TV shows out there. It is he story of this man, Ted that in the year ~2029 tells his children how he met their mother. Fact is he always tells stories of different relationships which all ended (sooner …
Ace of Cakes
After a few episodes of Ace of Cakes, a Food Network show, you will never look at a cake the same way again. The things this group of friends can turn out using things like a blow torch and electric saws are more than cakes, they are works of …
South Park: Whale Whores
Playing into what is popular at the time is what South Park seems to aim for these days, and this episode, entitled “Whale Whores”, is a prime example of this. The Japanese travel around killing dolphins and whales, and it is up to Stan, who takes over an anti …
Eastwick
Eastwick is a new show that airs on ABC in the evening. It started this fall 09. The premiere episode focused on 3 separate women. These women all grew up and live in the same time but had not been friends until one fateful day.
All three, feeling unfulfilled …
Metalocalypse TV show
Metalocalypse is a new 15-minute cartoon on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim lineup, and I just finished watching the premiere episode of this show. Overall, I’m left with mixed feelings.
The show focuses on a death metal band named Dethklok. In the first episode, they first throw a concert in …
M*A*S*H: Smilin’ Jack
M*A*S*H: Smilin’ Jack is a symbol of the insanity of war in my opinion. It’s also an example of the human condition where we all need to be remembered for something, even if it’s something as ridiculous as a war record. Smilin’ Jack is a helicopter pilot …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 1, Episode 16: The Deserter
The group comes across a sign advertising a fire festival. Sokka is skeptical, but Aang sees it as a rare opportunity to learn some firebending. Katara agrees, though she thinks that they should wear disguises. I was hoping this would result in the return of Aang’s …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Manhunt

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Riverboat
This show is so good when it makes fun of itself and classic western moments. This opens up with Brisco County (Bruce Campbell) ready to showdown with some bad guys. Right in the middle of the face off, a boy rides up on a bike to deliver …
Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story
I was a little surprised by Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story because I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. This season six episode reminds me a lot of Boys Town and Father Flanigan, though there isn’t any connection. It’s just the idea that makes …
Destination Truth: Bhutan Yeti
When I saw this week’s episode of Destination Truth had Josh Gates hunting for the Yeti, I wasn’t expecting a whole lot. After all, if he would have found something, you know it would have made the news by now.
But, it turned out to be a good investigation that …
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 …
Diagnosis Murder: Mind Over Murder TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Mind Over Murder opens with a psychic television show that has one of them suddenly bursting out of her seat and landing in the hospital. Meanwhile at the hospital, Norman (Michael Tucci) is back, showing off pictures of his trip. The pictures aren’t the things …
MacGyver: The Spoilers
Season three was not the year for me to be watching MacGyver. Right now I’m not sure if I watched all of these or not because I’m just way too animal sensitive to watch shows where animals are killed. I cry and get too depressed. Kill …
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 …
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
I cry every time, every single time I watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and I’ve watched it hundreds of times over the decades. I own the video and I rarely miss it when it airs on TV. What a classic, and one that pulls at your heart …
Whoopi: Don’t Hide Your Bag TV Show
In a post 9/11 world, things were a bit crazy with the color alert system and concern about unknown packages of any kind. This episode of the new sitcom, Whoopi, which was called Don’t Hide Your Bag, took advantage of American’s fear of terrorism. It puts what …
The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest (tv series)
When I was much younger and still a child, I would look forward to watching certain cartoons after coming from school in the afternoons. One of them in particular was the television series “The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest”, which I later learned was actually a spin-off of another …
Three and a Half Men
I think one of the best television shows of all time is “Three and a Half Men”. In fact I am watching it right now, and it is a rerun I’ve seen before, but I can’t help but laugh out loud. They have absolutely the best writers, and …
Ghost Hunters: Mishler Theatre
As I mentioned before, my wife and I are watching the first season of the show Ghost Hunters on DVD and watched the second episode, Mishler Theatre, last night.
This episode really wasn’t the most interesting when it comes to paranormal phenomena. They didn’t find any evidence of anything at …
The Golden Girls: Season 1
I laughed my butt off when I watched the first season of Golden Girls. All of the characters seemed so undeveloped at the time. I don’t mean the acting skills, but in how the actresses came to “know” their characters.
The pilot always cracks me up. Blanche, played by Rue …
Stargate SG-1: Bad Guys
Okay, I admit it. For some odd reason, I actually do like this tenth season entry for Stargate SG-1, even with Vala there. “Bad Guys” is really the only one I can think of that I can make that statement with. Of course, Vala is with …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: New Fish in Town
Synopsis: A new neighbor moves by Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward and, realizing the neighbor is as stuffy as he is, Squidward attempts to keep the new neighbor to himself and convince him to remain in the neighborhood.
What I liked about this episode: Spongebob and Patrick really don’t have a …
Hits 1 TV Show
Hits 1 TV Show is something like the local TV show, ‘Vidz’, which is non-existent no more. Hits 1 TV show program is still around and the host is one guy which I don’t know the name and the lady host is Amy Search’s daughter, Nabila. I think …
M*A*S*H: Tell It to the Marines
When Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) heads away for a few days in M*A*S*H: Tell It to the Marines, he leaves Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) in charge. Winchester ultimately takes advantage of the situation, convincing Corporal Max Klinger (Jamie Farr) to help him make life …
Due South: Good for the Soul
A holiday show, Due South: Good for the Soul is pretty good. It has humor, drama, and poignancy. While shopping in the mall for Christmas presents, Constable Benton Fraser arrests a mob boss for slapping a bus boy in one of the mall restaurants. He really …
Storage Wars
I watched the new show on A&E called Storage Wars the other day. I was just flipping though the channels and happened to stop on this show for no particular reason. The show follows around 4 professional buyers as they bid on storage lockers. According to …
American Idol
I was wondering, as many others do, about how can Simon, Randy and Paula audition all of those huge crowds gathering up in every city the popular show is auditioning. It is just not possible for that to actually happen. Simple math says 10000 people auditioning in one city …
Teach - Tony Danza: Homesick TV Show
Teach - Tony Danza: Homesick is the fourth effort into telling the story about this well known performer teaching for a year at a high school in Philadelphia. Danza had a lot of guts to take on this project, and I’m hoping that by the end of the …
