The X-Files The Calusari Episode
I remember watching this episode of the popular nineteen nineties American television series a couple years ago but being unable to finish watching the episode because I was too busy. However, I watched it again recently and remembered that one of the things I liked about the episode was …
The Twilight Zone: One More Pallbearer TV Show
The Twilight Zone: One More Pallbearer was an interesting show that wasn’t all that unique in presentation but which had a bit of a twist at the end. However, when you really think about it, the twist has been done a few times throughout the series. So, …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 5: The Jersey Devil
This was an episode that I had never seen before, so I was rather excited to tune into see how this played out. Once again, it veers from the extra-terrestrial conspiracy plot line to give us a “monster of the week”. This time it’s the Jersey Devil. …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: George Washington TV Show
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour took an odd turn this time around for its celebrity roast, going from the living to the dead, literally. The Man of the Week was President George Washington, played by Jim Leighton wearing revolutionary war attire. It was an intriguing idea that …
The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can is definitely one of my favorite episodes of this series. I consider it to be one of the classics, in the top 15 of all the shows. What I really love about this show is the spirit, the message of …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 19 (Anime)

ESPN First Take TV show
I recently began watching ESPN First Take, and I must say it is quickly becoming one of my favorite television programs to watch. Steven A. Smith and Skip Bayless make the show tick. They both provide unique commentary about the day’s most popular sports topics, and on occasion …
The Bachelor Pad: Episode One TV Show
What on earth possessed me to watch the opening episode of The Bachelor Pad? I can’t believe I did it. It was an enormous waste of time. The thing is, I don’t even watch The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. I have seen maybe 3 full …
Highway Patrol: Reckless Driving TV Show
This first season episode of Highway Patrol, Reckless Driving, is all about being in a hurry and ignoring the speed limit. All things considered, it’s as relevant today as it was back in 1955. People can still be careless idiots on the road. They were then, …
The Twilight Zone: The Purple Testament TV Show
I have to admit from the top that even though the acting is very good in The Twilight Zone: The Purple Testament, it’s just not a show I enjoy. I’m not sure why, but I think it’s the story and its disturbing qualities that get to me. …

Downunder Horsemanship
Downunder Horsemanship by Clinton Anderson is a great TV show. Clinton Anderson is an internationally recognized horse trainer and competitor. He is a native Australian and I just love his accent. Clinton’s program, Downunder Horsemanship, most often focuses on working with problem horses and training young horses. What I …
Here Come the Brides: Mr. & Mrs. J. Bolt

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Zeppo
One of the great things about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series is the other characters who help her in her battles. So, it’s refreshing to see an episode dedicated specifically to one of those characters, like the one entitled “The Zeppo.”
This one focuses on Xander and how he …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - Plankton

Come Dine With Me TV show
Come Dine With Me is one of those TV shows that I originally would have run a mile to get away from, but which I am slowly finding myself being drawn into. The setup is really pretty simple, in that a small group of chefs (amateur ones rather than …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 - The Wedding
The show is over. Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 — The Wedding is the final episode of this navy drama. The sad part is that no one knew that at the time of the taping. Therefore, it has that typical cliffhanger ending that would never be …
MacGyver: To Be a Man
There’s some beautiful scenery in the To Be a Man episode of MacGyver from the first season. It actually reminds me a bit of a western. I can see John Wayne riding along the places where Mac is trying to escape from the bad guys.
In MacGyver: To …
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Sense of Justice
About the first thing I noticed about Have Gun - Will Travel: A Sense of Justice is that once again Karl Swenson is guest starring. He really did a bunch of these shows. I feel like he’s in every third episode. I’m sure that’s an exaggeration, …
Sports Unlimited
Being a sports lover and being active in different sports, I must say that, for me, Sports Unlimited is a gem of a TV program here in the Philippines.
It’s basically a TV show in ABS-CBN Channel 2 (a local broadcasting network) every Saturday, 12 am, which essentially covers different …
Stargate SG-1: Grace
Stargate SG-1: Grace could have been the show that changed Sam Carter for the better, bringing her out of her school girl crush days and returning her to the strength and glory she had in the vintage years. Instead, it’s just a show that was pivotal for a …
Goodnight Sweetheart
My husband and I used to watch a television series called Goodnight Sweetheart, and one day whilst I was looking on EBAY I came across the whole series on DVD. I couldn’t resist a bid on it eventually after a few bids were exchanged I won the auction.
A …
Dirty Jobs (Discovery Channel TV show)
I happened to catch an episode of this show when the host teamed up with a group of pestilence control workers. These guys wore daunting looking black T-shirts and tackled the worst jobs you could think of. The episode I caught featured a home that was …
Friends Episode: The One Where Joey Is Turning Into a Woman
Friends Episode: The One Where Joey Is Turning Into a Woman is totally hilarious and really awesome. I laugh so hard whenever I watch this. Seems that Joey is picking up a fuss over little things when this tall and blonde, beautiful lady becomes his room-mate and he …

Diagnosis Murder: The Busy Body TV Show

Stargate SG-1: Inaugeration
Stargate SG-1: Inaugeration is the annual clip show, but this time, there isn’t a single regular character in it, aside from archival footage. Instead, the entire story takes place at the White House, with the new President’s first day in office. As such, he’s being briefed, and …
The Twilight Zone: On Thursday We Leave for Home TV Show
Another memorable episode, The Twilight Zone: On Thursday We Leave for Home is one that I enjoy watching greatly. It’s full of drama and some nice acting. The story is good, and it makes for great viewing.
It starts by introducing the viewers to a planet of survivors. …
M*A*S*H: Showtime
During a performance by a visiting troupe in M*A*S*H: Showtime, little tidbits of story are shown. There’s really no sense to it that I could figure out, but the story segues from a few seconds of a performance to a scene of something that’s happened in the compound. …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Data’s Day
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Data’s Day” is a fun episode to watch. Unlike every other episode of the series, this episode’s story is told from Data’s perspective. The story follows Data as he goes about his “typical day” while the character speaks in the background. Data is …

The Virginian: The Decision TV Show
This sixth season episode of The Virginian which was called The Decision was one I enjoyed a lot. One of the reasons the March 1968 went over so well with me is that three of the guest stars are people who I feel a connection to in one …
Jericho TV show
Jericho is one of the great tv shows out this past season. It was on hiatus and is starting again this Monday.
Jericho is about that futuristic time that we all dread - attack of another country (or countries). At the beginning there is are bombs set off …
High School of the Dead Anime Series
I have never been a fan of anything that features zombie. But I happened to watch High School of the Dead because I want to watch something new in the world of anime and zombies in anime are not as scary as the “real” zombies in movies or TV …
M*A*S*H: Give and Take
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 …
The Simpsons: Bonfire of the Manatees
I was watching a season 17 episode of the Simpsons yesterday, Bonfire of the Manatees. And, while it was somewhat funny, I thought it was actually a bit low-brow for a show that is usually so much better.
The lead-in to the show was kind of cute. Homer blows a …
Whoopi: What Child Is This? TV Show
Whoopi: What Child Is This? is a combination of political and family humor. It’s better than some other recent shows and part of that might be that it is a political show and that actor Scott Bryce guest stars as a Republican hot shot who works with the …
The X-Files Gender Bender Episode
This was one of my favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties television series “The X-Files”. This was because this one explored the whole issue of gender bending which was still fairly new in terms of having operations to convert into either a male or female in nineteen ninety …

The tenth episode in the series, “Lair of Grevious”, is another fine example of a classic episode in this animated TV series, an utmost excellent and worthy follow up after the wondrous “Cloak of Darkness” which preceded it. Here, Count Dooku puts General Grevious to the test by having …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Weekend TV Show
From April 1961, Richard Boone returns as Paladin for another thirty minute western adventure in Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Weekend. I have one overwhelming thought on this show, or rather a word that I would highly associate with it, and that one word is windbag.
Roy Barcroft …
That Girl: A Limited Engagement
From season 5, That Girl: A Limited Engagement just may be the most dramatic show from the entire five years. It’s also quite probably the best episode from the entire run as well. While there are laughs, the show isn’t full of them. They’re there as …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Puppet Show
OK, wooden puppets are a bit creepy and after the movie Child’s Play, any doll that can talk makes me a bit nervous. So, I liked the concept behind the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “The Puppet Show.”
The school puts on a talent show and Buffy and her friends …
Family Guy: Bango was his Name O
The Family Guy episode that was on last night certainly was an interesting one. I had seen parts of “Bango was his Name O” but never really appreciated how complex it was until I got to see the whole thing.
Stewie thinks he sees his real father on TV (he …
The Simpsons: Homer and Lisa exchange cross words
Last night’s new episode of The Simpsons “Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words” probably wasn’t as funny as I expected it to be. However, I’m going to give it points for creativity.
The episode starts out with Homer starting a business where he helps couples break up. This storyline was …
