Star Trek: Who Mourns for Adonais? TV Show
The big thing about this second season episode, Star Trek: Who Mourns for Adonais? is that James Doohan’s Montgomery Scott has finally fallen in love. I believe this is the first time he even had a girlfriend in passing, which is unusual since even McCoy’s had a girlfriend. …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Primeval
OK, I officially can’t wait until we finish the fourth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This season has been absolutely terrible and the episode “Primeval” didn’t exactly help matters.
This episode has the final battle with Adam. Early on, we learn he wants to create more human/demon cyborgs. That …
Sea Hunt: Jade Cavern TV Show
In March 1960, Sea Hunt was in the early part of its third year on television. The episode shown on this night was the ninth one and was called Jade Cavern. It begins with expert diver Mike Nelson on his boat working on an assignment when he …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 9: Cold Blood
This episode picks up where the last one left off, with the Doctor attempting to make contact with the Silurians so that a treaty can be negotiated. Suffice it to say, it does not go well. The Silurians aren’t the most reasonable species out there, at least at …
Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story
Barbara Stanwyck returns for the second time in season seven in Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story. The story revolves around her and wagonmaster Chris Hale’s romance, something that was hinted at in the season opener, The Molly Kincaid Story.
Stanwyck is a superb actress, and she pulls off …
Masters of Horror: Jenifer by Dario Argento
The Masters of Horror was something Showtime came up with awhile back that I thought was an unbelievably cool concept. All though all the different episodes of this series vary in quality, execution and production values I found something I liked in most of them. One of …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Death from the Past TV Show
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. …
Two And A Half Men: She’ll Still Be Dead At Halftime
“She’ll Still Be Dead At Halftime” is the episode of Two And A Half Men airing on CBS on March 2, 2009. This was not one of the show’s better episodes, as Charlie came off as sleazier than normal, and even Jake acted creepy.
Pros: This episode …
Mork & Mindy: Mork’s Greatest Hit
One of the interesting things about the old Mork & Mindy series is how it managed to look at normal everyday life and turn it into satire. The episode “Mork’s Greatest Hit” is a great example of this.
In our culture, we admire those who will use violence if it …
The Catherine Tate Show - First Series
Mainstream female comics are few and far between. Certainly, there’s more than a few going strong amongst notable comedy groups and the likes of Victoria Wood, Julie Walters, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders have all brought us some downright fine entertainment over the years, but since Dawn and Jennifer …
Glee: TV Show
As many of you may know by now, Fox has a new TV show, called Glee. The first premiere was in 2009, after an American Idol episode.
I didn’t start watching Glee until a friend recommended it to me. Since we have different tastes, I was a little skeptic …
Burn Notice: Rough Seas
I’m afraid that Burn Notice: Rough Seas did nothing to hold my interest. I didn’t like the plot or the unfamiliar guest stars. Well, I did recognize one of the actors from The UNIT — Max Martini, but he doesn’t make me want to watch anything. …
Lee Nelsons Well Good Show BBC3
A couple of months ago I saw an advert for a new t.v show. It was Lee Nelsons Well Good Show. It was to be shown on BBC3 and my initial impressions, without even watching the show was that it looked like a complete waste of time. A man …
Dexter’s Laboratory
In the late 1990s and the early 2000s, there were three cartoons on Cartoon Network which I remember were quite popular amongst children and a few teenagers I knew. These were “Johnny Bravo”, “Cow and Chicken” and “Dexter’s Laboratory”. Even now I think that “Dexter’s Laboratory” or “Dexter’s Lab”, …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buffy the Vampire Slayer was an epic show, it’s one of those things that has lasted forever and has a lot fo fans and I am one of them. I’ve watched the show since it began and I have seen every episode in every season.
I have to say …
Chase: Havoc TV Show
Chase: Havoc was one of the more interesting hours of this freshman NBC series that focuses on a team of United States Marshals. The head of the team is Annie. She’s a bit of a wild cannon in my opinion and I’m not sure yet if I …
CSI
CSi is kind of a strange show for me. While teh rest of the world may love it I struggle to see what makes it special or any better than any other crime show that is littering our television stations right now.
Sure it is glamourous but so is …
Fairly Oddparents: Christmas Every Day
I was watching Christmas-related cartoons with my daughter yesterday and have to admit the Fairly Oddparents episode “Christmas Every Day” was pretty cool.
This show, which features a kid and his fairy godparents, usually has some cool wishes go bad. But, who knew having Christmas Day every day would be one …
Dexter
Dexter is a show in Showtime and is about a man who works as a forensics investigator for the Miami police department and who also murders murderers who come through the police department and are let go for some reason or another. There are two seasons of this show …

3rd Rock from the Sun
3rd Rock from the Sun is one of the funniest shows I have seen. The show is about a family of aliens who are loving here on earth. I think the fact that they took human bodies is really funny. One of my favorite characters in the show is …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 13: The Big Bang
Thus, the fifth season of Doctor Who reaches it’s end. This episode stands in a pretty stark contrast to the other finales. Where Davies kept wanting to escalate and make things more epic, this one is a bit more low key. I mean, sure, the universe …
CHiPs: Pressure Point
Jon and Ponch (Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada) end up on a special detail in CHiPs: Pressure Point from season two. The story evolves around the wealthy Arthur Forbinger, played with gusting exuberance by Rudy Vallee. Nothing Vallee does is low key, regardless of storyline. He …
M*A*S*H: Point of View
M*A*S*H: Point of View is a really unique and interesting episode of this series. The entire story, from fade in to fade out, is told from the eyes of Private Rich. Every angle and every view is from his perspective. What an ingenious idea someone came …
The Carol Burnett Show: Family Show TV Show
This particular tenth season episode of The Carol Burnett Show was called by Burnett “a family show” because there aren’t any guest stars. All of the skits and performances are by the regulars — Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Tim Conway.
The monologue is one of the longer ones …
The X-Files Bad Blood Episode
I can remember this episode quite well. This was because this was an episode about vampires and it was more humorous to me than I would have expected an X-Files episode about vampires to be. I didn’t find it top be extraordinarily scary either, or gruesome like I found …
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Sabrina the Teenage Witch was always a really cool show. This is a show about a Sabrina a teenage witch that has magical powers. She has many adventures in the show. Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a pretty good show and has some really good acting in it. I think …
Ang Dating Daan
I started watching this show last year when I was browsing on the TV channels and could not find a sensible show to watch. Ang Dating Dann caught my attention not only because it was very informative but it opened my eyes to a lot of things. I like …
Gia movie (1998)
I never really heard of the American supermodel Gia Carangi quite possibly since she had died two years before I was born. However, after learning recently about her, and seeing that her pictures looked familiar, I became especially interested when I learned that the actress Angelina Jolie had played …
Psych: Ghosts
When Psych first came on the air, I only watched it because it was the show that was on after Monk. But, I have to admit the show is growing on me enough where I’m willing to tune in to USA just to watch it.
The newest episode, Ghosts, was …
That 70s Show TV Episode: Hot Dog
I had a few minutes to watch TV yesterday afternoon while our pizza was cooking and ended up watching a re-run of That 70s show. The re-run was of the episode Hot Dog; the episode where Eric proposes to Donna.
This is actually a pretty good episode because I remember …
M*A*S*H: Officers Only
I suppose someone behind the scenes decided that it was time to add a new set to the 4077th compound. Most scenes have traditionally been in the operating room, the Swamp, Henry’s office, including the clerk’s area, Houlihan’s tent, the showers, and the mess tent. With almost …
Models of the Runway: Burlesque Babies
Last night’s episode of Models of the Runway was OK but it is starting to get a bit on the predictable side again. With so few challenges left, I doubt they will force the designers to change models and I doubt the designers will do so by choice.
That one …
The Amazing Race: S17, Ep 4 TV Show
What I loved about this fourth episode of The Amazing Race’s 17th season is that it showed the teams giving back a little by helping to renovate an elementary school. Survivor started giving back years ago, so why it’s taken The Amazing Race so long to realize that …
Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection
First of all, owning the Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a feel good, science fiction, and sentimental thing for me, so watching these shows again was really wonderful.
The five-disk set have a collector’s box that they fit …
Everest - Beyond the limit season 3
Being a huge fan of the first two seasons of Everest - Beyond the limit, I have been waiting for a long time to see this new season.
The first 3 episodes of the show aired on the 27th of december which I found a little odd. Why release …
Headline Saturday TV Show
Headline Saturday is a show put on by WRAL in Raleigh NC. The show, hosted by one of the television stations anchors David Crabtree usually deals with hot political topics that are going on in North Carolina, specifically in Wake County. Mr. Crabtree along with Melanie Sill the executive …
Masquerade: Five Days
Masquerade: Five Days gave Kirstie Alley her best chance to do some real acting in her character of Casey. She’s an intelligence agent working with Rod Taylor’s Lavender and Greg Evigan’s Danny. Up until this episode, her most challenging bits have been guiding bus tours and looking …

Richard Hatch and Patrick Macnee were the big guest stars in Blacke’s Magic: It’s a Jungle Out There, a series about semi-retired magician, Alexander Blacke. As portrayed by Hal Linden of Barney Miller fame, Blacke charmingly assists local authorities and friends in need by solving crimes and …
Friends season 1 episode 6
The episode called “The One with the Butt” starts with an opera where Joey is doing a musical, and in the theater there were hardly few people. And all the friends were chatting about Joey’s play, and his performance, then Chandler met a new girl there named Aurora, and …
Private Eye: Hollywood Confidential TV show
From January 1988, Private Eye: Hollywood Confidential was very interesting story. The series stars Michael Woods as private eye, Jack Cleary, and Josh Brolin as his assistant, Johnny Betts. The exciting part for me, though, was with the guest star, Adam-12’s Kent McCord.
In Hollywood Confidential, McCord plays …
The Equalizer: The Day of the Covenant TV show
The Equalizer: The Day of the Covenant was a fourth season episode. In fact, it was the fifth show to air that year. Edward Woodward starred as Robert McCall, a New York city detective who always looked so refined in his suit. I’m not a fan, …
CSI: las vegas
This is my favorite show of all time. I like all of the actors and actresses in it. They always make the show interesting and it always keeps my attention. I think one of the reasons I like the show is because it is so different from all of …
I Love Money
I thought the American reality television series “I Love Money” was one of VH1’s best reality television series. This was because it involved different people from previous reality television series on VH1 all competing for a quarter of a million United States dollars. All these people had to do …
Forever Television Show
This fall one of the television shows that I was determined to watch was a showed called Forever. Forever is the story of Dr. Henry Morgan who is played by Ioan Gruffudd (whom I liked since I first saw him as Mr. Fantastic in the Fantastic Four trilogy). …
The Simpsons Season 3 Episode 4 Bart The Murderer
Bart wakes up all jolly, and hopes for a wonderful day. However one after the other bad luck occurs to him. From Homer taking away his badge, to reaching late for school. Then forgetting the permission letter for his chocolate factory trip. The entire turns out to be miserable …
Dexter Season 6 Epi 2 (Once Upon a Time)
Dexter is one of my most favorite series of all time. I have been watching Dexter since it all started and have been quite fascinated with the storylines and the suspense. Dexter is on its 6th season now, and what I like about it is that it only has …
The Veil: Girl on the Road TV Show
The Veil: Girl on the Road is from the anthology series, short lived as it was, hosted by Boris Karloff. Karloff actually has a role in this episode, too. He plays the powerful Morgan Debs, and he issues a warning to the show’s protagonist, John Prescott.
The story …
The Andy Griffith Show: Cousin Virgil TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Cousin Virgil from season two just isn’t a show I’m that fond of. In fact, it’s one of a few episodes from the entire series that I will actually turn off. It just doesn’t work for me, and I simply don’t enjoy much …
The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air TV Show
From season one, The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air is a decent show, but perhaps it is the ironic and tragic fate of the story’s characters that puts me off. It’s not really one that has a happy ending, and I’m not into melancholy at …
