TV Show: Paula-s Home Cooking
Basically, I am still a good old Southern gal at heart and part of my heritage involves the regional cooking I was brought up on.
That’s why I enjoy watching “Paula’s Home Cooking” program, as featured on The Food Network and starring one Ms.Paula Dean.
We no longer live down South, …
The Twilight Zone: The Chaser TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Chaser is an okay outing for this science fiction series. I don’t particularly love it, but I don’t dislike it, either. It’s one of the few roles I can somewhat tolerate John McIntire in. He plays a mysterious professor who sales …

The first thing I noticed about That Girl: Eleven Angry Men and That Girl is that Don says that his parents are in St. Louis. He and Ann are planning on visiting them. I could be wrong, but I thought there was a mention of them …
Top Shot - Zipline of Fire TV Show
The first episode of Top Shot fascinated me enough that I tuned in for this second episode. I love the host, Colby Donaldson of Survivor the Australian Outback fame, who is well suited to this outdoorsy show which strives to find the best shooter of the bunch. …
The next best thing
This year featured a new reality type show called the Next Best Thing. The show featured people impersonating movie stars or other famous people. While the show was slightly boring watching week to week. The semi=finals of the show was simply outstanding. The winners were …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Deadly Dolls TV Show
The second show of the fourth season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea guest starred Vincent Price and was called The Deadly Dolls. I actually loved the opening teaser where the Seaview crew was being amused by a puppet show of sorts in which Admiral Nelson, …
UKTV
This is a Foxtel channel that I love mainly for Eastenders, the poisoness Pauline, scheming Ian and gossiping Dot are fantastic. I watched this show when it first started and I was living in the UK and for the past year (thanks Foxtel) I have caught up …
Ghost Hunters: I am Not Guilty
When I saw the Ghost Hunters episode “I am Not Guilty” was going to visit Dr. Mudd’s house (the doctor who worked on John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated Lincoln), I thought I would get yet another episode that had potential based on the stories surrounding the building but …
True Blood
True Blood is the new HBO hit series based on the acclaimed fantasy vampire series by Charlaine Harris. I first saw the show after a co-worker prompted me to watch it, even though I had never read the books (there were eight books out at the time the show …

CHiPs: Disaster Squad

Wagon Train: The Stark Bluff Story
Wagon Train: The Stark Bluff Story just didn’t do anything for me at all. This is an episode from season seven of Wagon Train. It was one of the ninety minute, color episodes. Scott Miller as Duke Shannon gets the brunt of the story, and frankly, …
Models of the Runway: It’s My Party and I’ll Wear What I Want to
Well, it has happened. When Models of the Runway first came out, I thought it was a refreshing show that gave a nice behind the scenes look at the models of Project Runway. But, I also knew, at some point, the elimination at the end would start getting a …

The Simpsons TV Episode: The Old Man and Lisa

Wanda At Large: Wanda Sykes Show (TV One)
I don’t know exactly when the Wanda Sykes show went off the air. I think it was actually some time in 2003. But I have caught a few episodes on TV One. I knew that Wanda had quite the sense of humor. …
Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer
Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer is a tv show my kids and I have enjoyed for years.
My favorite character is Ernie the Elf who wants to be a dentist.
I also like Yukon Cornelius and of course, Rudolph.
I also like the misfit toys, when they are introducing themselves.
and the …
A Man Called Hawk: Choice of Chance
The first thing I noticed about A Man Called Hawk: Choice of Chance was the opening scene with a church choir singing the song, “Elijah Rock.” I absolutely adore that song. We used to sing in choir way back in junior high school. I really haven’t …
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). …
House: Acceptance
House is the perfect character to draw out the personality in others that is what makes the show House so interesting. As a medical drama it is ok, but not really any better than the others, and as a mystery show it doesn’t work because unless you’ve went to …
CSI Miami
CSI Miami is a spinoff of the very successful TV Show SCI- Crime Scene Investigation set up in the hot and sexy Miami. The different location dictates some major differences in the content. To begin with- the cast is selected to reflect the ethnic diversity much better. Unfortunately the …

The series is great in a sense that it shows just how vulnerable a person’s home is if a thief is determined that he wants to break in and steal everything that is there. Whether you are rich or poor and even if you have the most advanced state …
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Earthquake TV Show
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Earthquake deals with an earthquake that wasn’t and JJ Powell’s refusal to be honest with his parents about his powers.
This latter plot I’m sick of and have been for the last couple of shows. This character is turning me off because I just …

The Boondocks: Season 3, episode 6: Smokin with Cigarettes
My roommate is a huge fan of “The Boondocks”, while it certainly has its moments, the show is incredibly hit or miss for me. Luckily, this episode was more hit than miss.
The episode opens, introducing us to a juvenile delinquent named Lamilton Taeshawn, a young boy who has …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Doll
After Larry’s latest behaviour; “Aren’t you Evelyn?” has now been picked up by ABC. But this reassuring new development doesn’t last for long, and as usual, Larry’s at the core of it all.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: No Way Out TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: No Way Out, show number twelve, has a teaser that bores me, and that’s not a good sign. It’s another foreign intrigue affair, which oftentimes makes me yawn. However, it picked up after the theme and opening credits. Following …

Adam 12 - Log 22
This last episode of the first season of “Adam-12″, labeled as “Log 22″, was somewhat of just a standard, weird day in my opinion.
The backstory isn’t one that I particularly liked. Gary Crosby reappears as Ed Wells and opens up the show by telling Jim Reed a joke …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature TV Show
There’s danger board the teaser ends on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature, the 15th episode of its third year on the air. It’s another leafy deep sea monster, and this one makes a yucky, screeching sound, too. It’s not long before it essentially …
Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Man
Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Man is a fairly entertaining entry for the fifth season of this science fiction series.
John DeLancie returns again as Colonel Frank Simmons, a man on his own agenda. DeLancie is a wonderful actor, who can be delightfully evil and wonderfully playful. He’s very …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 12: Fire
This episode pits the two agents against a homicidal pyrokinetic. It’s pretty straight forward, a trait which acts in the episode’s favor, but also to its detriment as well. While the fact that it’s a regular monster of the week isn’t negative in and of itself, the …
Dan Abrahms
There is one news reporter who really has moved on up and rightly so. This is Dan Abrahms. At one time he was on Court TV. Many times he appears on news on NBC channel 4. However his greatest show is on MSNBC called The …
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 …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Code of Honor
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Code of Honor is an episode that puzzles me. I do not know if the writers of the episode were deliberately trying to be racist or if they were driving at something else, but the way the episode is scripted makes me wonder. …

Written by Gene Roddenberry, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hanging of Roy Carter is a dramatic entry for this western series that has Paladin putting himself in the line of fire to try to save a convicted felon from hanging. There is no blurring of right and …

Hulk Hogan Celebrity Championship Wrestling

Columbo: Candidate for Crime TV Show
Columbo: Candidate for Crime is not a favorite by any stretch of the imagination. It’s a political tale, and those tend to bore me. I’m not into the political arena all that much so a show that is all about running for office and the associated corruption …
