Well, the Simpsons repeat that was on last night wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t what I was expecting it to be.
Weekend at Burnsie’s had so much potential. Homer injures his eye after befriending a bunch of crows only to make them mad at him later (I wonder what …

East Bound and Down was a short lived HBO series starring Danny McBride from such movies as Pineapple express and Land of the Lost. He is a favored actor of mine so this was a series i was really looking forward to watching. Even though I found out …

SG1 is once again teamed with the Russians when they discover the remains of Russian cigarettes outside a temple on P2X-338. When they return to the SGC, General Hammond tells them that the Russians are coming to help them, although Jack would rather take his team and go …

Considering prior storylines, this third season entry for ABC’s That Girl opens a little oddly for me. The title is 7 1/4, which is also odd, so I suppose it all makes sense in some strange way. As the story begins, Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) is about …

From 1989, The Hillside Stranglers is almost as frightening as the actual events that this movie is based on. I lived through these events, watching them unfold on television, and it was a scary time. I would have been terrified had I lived in that area where …

Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada once again head up the action in CHiPs: Return of the Turks, a season two episode that includes guest appearances from Loyita Chapel, though her role is pretty minor, and Kaz Garas. Garas has some layers to his role. He’s Sid, an …

I just finished watching an episode of “Good Eats.” The episode was about making homemade bacon. The plot of this show was “Scrap Iron Chef” and the secret ingredient was Pork belly. Alton Brown competed against a midwest native to see who could make the best …

If there is a great newsbreaking story that catches everyones curiosity such as the OJ latest arrest you can be certain that no matter what happens Larry King will have an influential guest to the news story that very same night. For some reason perhaps its Larry’s King …

This episode of the X-Files was also one of my most memorable episodes. I found it to be a little confusing at one point and I didn’t think it was a work of genius either, but I believe that it was still quite enjoyable. In fact, I think …

Before I went into high school, my brother and I were tired of watching local television and wanted cable television. Many of our friends had it, as well as many of our relatives. However, our parents chose not to get it as they felt that it would interfere with …

As another year of viewing pleasure draws to end, a sizable heap of shows lie cancelled, victims of the dreaded, unforgiving axe.
Amongst them, ABC’s sci-fi drama Defying Gravity: an ambitious tale of eight astronauts on a six year long exploration of the solar system. This show seemed to …

Due South: Chicago Holiday: Part 1 was the first of three somewhat strange episodes of this series in my opinion. This two-parter probably has enough dialog for a solid thirty-minute show. What is included instead is a lot of music, and odd music at that, while the …

I had delayed watching this animated series for some time despite what some of my friends had said about it because I just didn’t think that I would understand or enjoy it. Part of that stemmed from bad experiences watching some fantasy animation over the years, where I would …

I just love watching Seinfeld reruns. I really wish that I had watched the show when it was airing, because I have become such a huge fan. Jerry Seinfeld is hilarious, and I love his interactions with his good friends, Kramer, Elaine and George. How funny can this show …

Jacqueline Samuda returns as Nirrti in Stargate SG-1: Metamorphosis, which is based on a story idea that she submitted to the show. It seems Nirrti is experimenting with the DNA of the inhabitants of a planet. Her goal is to make the perfect, or advanced, host body, …

Season three of Highway Patrol featured a show titled simply Policewoman. This 27th program of the year had a new twist that I really enjoyed quite a bit. The action in the first portion of the show is featured away from the normal cast that includes Broderick …

Stargate SG-1: Prisoners is a huge favorite of mine. I can watch this episode over and over again, and I have, many times.
In this show, the team end up being transported to a prison colony for what Jack terms, jaywalking. Now, they have to figure out how …

Once a year, Speed TV brings us the Bud Shootout Selection Show. This year the show was a whopping 90-minutes long, the extended coverage necessitated by the increased number of drivers in this year’s Bud Shootout.
The show was hosted by Steve Byrnes and Kenny Wallace. Byrnes is …

I’m starting to get a feel for 30 Rock, but I’m not sure I like it. It feels more like a skit from “Saturday Night Live” than a TV series. The things that happen are generally absurd, the comedy just a little too far and the character surreal.
That isn’t …

Junior Apprentice Episode 4 had Lord Alan Sugar sending his apprentice hopefuls on a mission to find and sell art. I’ve seen this type of challenge before, and it’s always an interesting one. Basically, the teams visit several artists and then pick two they want to have …

I’ve been watching re-runs of Seinfeld late at night (while waiting for my wife to get home from work) and have seen some classic episodes; including “The Boyfriend.”
This is one of the funnier episodes of the series because they manage to get baseball player Keith Hernandez to guest star …

Although the episode was well written and well executed I was still left with the feeling that it was a bit stupid. The reason why I feel that way, were the crimes themselves, just a sense of human pettiness and stupidity. But then again, it might have been just …

I was looking forward to finally seeing a new episode of House last night. But, after seeing the episode, Lockdown (or, at least parts of it in between putting the kids to bed), I have to say I was very disappointed.
The premise was OK, the hospital is locked down …

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, …

Im not much of a tv person but one of the shows I do watch when I watch tv is the show that Metal Show on vh1 classic. It’s a show that features comedians Don Jameson,Jim Florentine and Radio DJ Eddie Trunk. I really like how this show combines …

It’s the end of the..semester I guess. JD says it’s his last day and all of the students are filling in teacher evaluations.
JD ends up being number one, although he ends up doing some butt kissing to get it. The fact that JD keeps leaving …

Daniel wants to go to a planet because he believes that the planet contains information about the meaning of life stuff he saw on Ernest’s planet. When the team arrives, they search and find nothing. Jack insists they leave and walks across something on the floor. …

M*A*S*H: Give and Take has some intriguing story elements to it that hold the viewer interest and make this eleventh season episode worth watching. This is actually the second to the last episode, and I don’t think it’s an accident that they aired this show when they did.
The …

Frankie Boyle is without question one of the best comedians on t.v at the moment, but he is so close to the line when it comes to testing new barriers to comedy that I always expected him to stick to panel shows and his stand up tour, so seeing …

Dead Like Me: Reaper Madness was the first episode of this series that I just sort of watched and enjoyed calmly. One of the reasons is that I do love happy endings. I like positiveness. I’m just not into doom and gloom and offbeat stuff that …

As much as I like the show Psych, I was commenting to my wife the other day that the characters don’t seem to spend as much time trying to pretend he’s psychic than they did in the past. So, this episode, There’s Some thing about Mira, was really refreshing.
First, …

Here Come the Brides: Democracy in Action is a fun show and one I enjoy watching. One of the things I like about it is that the theme of the show changes two or three times, meaning that just when you think the story is about ‘this’, it turns. …

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 season three premier episode of The Andy Griffith Show is a classic show called Mr. McBeevee. This particular program is definitely in my top 10 of the best of this comedy series. There’s humor in abundance and warmth that makes your heart both ache and smile.
The …

Allison has another dream (she has them a lot, well I guess that’s the whole point of the show, isn’t it). In this dream she hears and sees the song “I Will Survive” playing loudly and she is dancing to it as if she was in a video clip. …

“Moroccan Christmas” is the episode of The Office airing on NBC on December 11, 2008. This episode was not nearly as entertaining as past Christmas episodes and was actually depressing as it focused on alcoholism and affairs.
The start of the show was the best part, with …

The final show of That Girl has always been a disappointment to me. Series star Marlo Thomas refused to do a wedding show. She’s always been a feminist and she felt it was wrong to give the impression that her character of Ann Marie gets married and …

Sci Fi re-made the television show Dr. Who some time ago but I’ve never had time to watch the first episodes of it and, because I had no idea what was going on, never watched the later ones either.
Tonight I had a chance to watch the very first Dr. …

This episode revolves around the promise that Daniel made to the people of Abydos in the first episode. He promised to return to Abydos with Sha’re. He told them if he did not return to bury the gate forever.
When he sends a MALP through to Abydos he …

The Jetsons is a great TV show that started in the 60s. But later there were more shows made in the 80s and the re runs were shown for decades. This is a great show, and I really love how they thought the 21th Century was going to be. The …

It’s a common piece of advice, a cliche even, that things aren’t always what they seem. That’s the first lesson of Stargate: Infinity: Who Are You? which is the children’s animated version of the hit science fiction series, Stargate SG-1, only there’s very little that really resembles that …

The television show called Lockup appears on MSNBC and is a great show to watch. Weekly tapings in different prisons throughout the states are featured. Interviews with prisoners of how life is behind bars in maximum security prisons, as well as low threshhold prisons. It is …

This is a relatively new show and although it has a plot i feel i have seen many times, it is actually still interesting. The story line is about a boy who is adopted into this family but he does not know his roots. Everything around him is …

I’m a huge Elisha Dushku fan, so it was great to see her character Faith finally make an appearance in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Faith, Hope & Trick.”
This one is an OK episode because I absolutely love the villain in this one and see potential in the …

John Doe: Remote Control has John (Dominic Purcell) helping Digger (William Forsythe) find out what happened to his blood brother, who supposedly died in an auto accident. There would seem to be more to it since John temporarily sees the brother in color, not to mention a Special Forces …

Enter the stage another grumpy middle-aged businessman: George Jefferson. Sherman Hemsley perfected the role that made him famous. His business tycoon mentality and “buck the system” attitude made him a success. This success is described in the song accompanying the opening credits. …

We’re still in 1980, October 3rd to be specific, when Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Death from the Past rolls around. The show began with a teaser that included World War II action in 1945 and an underwater lab of sorts which is being attacked. …

That Girl: The Apartment has some great scenes in it. Basically, Don Hollinger is going out of town so he lets his girlfriend, Ann Marie, use his apartment since hers is being sprayed for pests. It’s the perfect setup for merriment, and we get a lot of …
