I love documentaries and I love real life stories. To be honest, I enjoy these shows more than life challenges like the fear factor that make you do certain things for the money. I hate those that present yucky things it just make my stomach churn. Browsing through the …

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. …

Hair Battle Spectacular: More Than Meets the Eye was a little intense as it counts its way down to the final face off. Though I still believe that these folks need real names, humility, and perhaps even a check on reality, what they do is create some incredible …

Kekkaishi Episode 6 has Yoshimori guarding Karasumori at night when the cherry blossoms bloom at an unlikely time.
This episode is nice because we learn more about Yuri, one of Yoshimori’s classmates. It was pretty good and we also learn more about the Karasumori site. It’s a very …

Season nine of Stargate SG-1 comes to a dramatic close with an episode entitled Camelot. Naturally, it’s a cliffhanger with the conclusion being the opener of the tenth season.

After a very successful TV pilot movie, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe hit the air with its first regular show. It had the very long and snazzy title of The Robin Tucker’s Roseland Roof and Ballroom Murder. One thing you can say about this private eye dramedy (half …

Out of all the medical shows featured on tv along with Marcus Welby,md, Dr. Kildare, and Ben Casey in the 70’s along came Medical Center featuring the heart throb Chad Everett. After 10 years it was finally not renewed and I was devasted. Nick at night had …

This could be considered one of the smaller episodes of “Justice League Unlimited”. No one is saving the world or even a city. Most of the characters don’t even have superpowers. This is about why people are in the league and it’s far better than the episodes where they …

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. …

“At the end of the day, all you have are experiences.”
This quote is from the end of Dead Like Me: Curious George, and it’s the end of this show that is the first time I thought I might end up having some like for the main character of Georgia …

Well now, that turned out to be a good episode of Bones. “The Bone that Blew” offered us a couple of things.
First, you have the mystery of how an ex-marine turned babysitter ended up killed and burned (resulting in parts of his body to blow away in a big …

At long last we are getting into the real juice of this series with edge-of-your-seat action and exciting thrills that make you beg for more as soon as you can get it. Sasuke is still paralyzed by fear, which is a nice change to see, but this episode won’t …

I was bored yesterday so I ended up watching a re-run of the show Monk “Mr. Monk Stays in Bed.”
Compared to some of the episodes that have been on lately, this one was actually a breath of fresh air because it turned out to be fantastic.
Monk, who we all …

Sea Hunt: Gold Below begins with some underwater shots of Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) working with his new assistant, Billy Riker. The reason why Billy is so fun to watch is that he’s played by Jack Hogan. Hogan has a long history of excellent portrayals, including a …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Who Watches the Watchers is an episode that might seem somewhat offending and close-minded to some, while others will applaud its stance and attitude on the delicate subject of religion. In this episode, Captain Picard remarks that a culture that believes in Gods …

This show just really grew on me. It started out that my boyfriend would always put it on. But now I’m the one whose always looking through the television to see if it is on. It is one of those shows where you think you can do your homework …

The point of South Park is to put ignorant children into adult situations, knowing they would have no idea what was going on. While it has strayed from this ideal a quite a bit, it is nice to see an episode that involves many of the major characters at …

The Lazarus Man: The Catamount is the tenth episode of the series which aired in 1996. Here’s what I still don’t get about the main character. Lazarus has flashbacks which we see. I assume we’re seeing what he remembers. Well, I’ve heard ‘Presidential guard’ and …

From what I’ve seen, Doctor Who episodes fall into three categories: ones that take place in the distant past, ones that take place in the distant future, and ones that take place on an alien world. Of course, there are several that take place in the present, thus …

This episode was…interesting. 21, grief stricken over the death of his buddy, decides to get revenge on those he believes are responsible, namely, Hank and Dean.

My wife and I started watching the show Iron Chef very recently. And, while the show does provide some entertainment, I do question whether the show might be a bit overrated.
First of all, watching chefs competing against each other to prepare a five course meal in 60 minutes is …

I really love this episode, not so much because the episode mystery is particularly good (It’s not, I’ll get to that in a second) but because we get to see Veronica helping Wallace out and we really get a sense of how far she would go for her friends. …

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Stagecoach would have been better with a little different mix of stagecoach passengers. Basically, Brisco is taking a prisoner to Mexico on a stagecoach on which there is a killer. The viewers learn this first, thanks to a scene with Socrates …

There are a couple of interesting points to Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 20 - Friends and Lovers that kept me viewing with anticipation.

One of my biggest guilty pleasures is watching series about people’s experiences with the supernatural, especially during Halloween time. The problem that I’ve had with many of these series though is that they’re extremely trite, hard to believe and not scary at all. I started watching Paranormal Witness because not …

Fireball XL5: The Sun Temple aired in December 1962 for the first time, bringing us another adventure for Colonel Steve Zodiac and his XL5 crew.
One of the fun things about this episode is that Zoonie gets to go on XL5 and Venus tries to teach him more words. …

OK, I have to say it. I have watched plenty of Ghost Hunters episodes in the past and have been left with doubts about what they have found. But, when I saw the Season 2 episode “Crescent Hotel & Dr. Ellis” I have to admit I was pretty creeped …

Eventually, even the most popular shows end up coming full circle and, either because they try too hard to re-invent themselves or because they run out of legitimate talent, they start showing some decline. This is especially true when it comes to reality television because you are always trying …

Played by Marlo Thomas, the daughter of Danny Thomas, Ann Marie is an …

Jerry Orbach who stars on Law & Order is why the show is such a hit. The charactor he plays Lenny Brisco is so good that you cannot help to watch the whole show. His dry wit is impeccable the way he delivers his scripts are so …

“The Return of Happy Spangler” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode of the series relies on good old fashioned slapstick comedy perhaps more than any other episode of the series. The last five minutes or so of the episode are devoted purely to slapstick …

What are the odds? Mr. Spock would say they were astronomical, I’m sure, but this isn’t Star Trek, so I suppose the odds don’t matter. In Stargate: Infinity: Mentor, Major Gus Bonner and his team go to a world where they run into Bonner’s mentor, Harley Sheppard, …

The latest edition of Shatner’s Raw Nerve featured psychic John Edward. This is the show where William Shatner has a one-on-one casual and unscripted conversation with someone, in this case Edward. I’ve found many of these shows to be pretty fascinating. This may be the first …

I love anything to do with the Batman universe. When I heard that a new tv show, Gotham, was in the works I was really excited, especially because it was to show the origins of many of the exciting characters in the Batman universe. In fact, the main character of …

As is usually the case, there was a re-run of Family Guy on last night after my re-run of the Simpsons and it happened to be one I have seen parts of before but have never watched completely; Ready, Willing and Disabled. After watching it, I don’t think it …
