Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chain of Command, Part One
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chain of Command, Part One is an episode that I do not care much for. Now the second part to this two part story, I enjoy immensely, but part one does not settle well with me. What bothers me throughout this episode is …
TV Episode for House: Black Hole
I got a chance to watch bits and pieces of last night’s House episode. From what I saw of it, it was a pretty interesting show.
This time around, House and his team have to figure out what is killing a high school girl before all her organs start failing. …
CHiPs: Supercycle
Quite honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of CHiPs: Supercycle. I’m not sure why, but the idea of this supercycle bothers me. Maybe it’s too Evil Kneivel for me.
One of the reasons the show doesn’t hit me with goodness is that there is too much time …

Diagnosis Murder: The Restless Remains TV Show
I love it when Diagnosis Murder begins with a fun scene, like Mark Sloan rolling in on his skates, and then going right into rounds with the medical students. This is episode nine, The Restless Remains. Things get a bit crazy though when Mark has a visit …
Direct TV
A couple weeks ago, I decided to do away with Charter cable television and take advantage of a special offer we had from Direct TV. I was nervous about the switch. But, I wanted to cut our monthly costs and thought this would be a great way to do …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder by the Book TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder by the Book revolved around a new book that was written in part by an old friend of the Sloans. To Mark’s shock, the book isn’t about recipes but sex stories. That results in some funny moments, but the real story is about the …
Fear the Walking Dead (Horror Drama Television Series)
AMC’s The Walking Dead has been one of my favourite television drama series for a few years now. However, while I do find the entire experience of Rick Grimes and his companions braving a zombie apocalypse riveting, that doesn’t mean the question of what happened before isn’t continuously hammering at …
Hawaii Five-O: Full Fathom Five
Full Fathom Five was the first regular episode of the Hawaii Five-O dramatic series, and with it came the addition of James McArthur as Danny Williams. What I really like about this first interaction that we see between Danny and Five-O head, Steve McGarrett, is that it’s not …
Death Note Episode 11
Death Note Episode 11 has Sakura TV airing a message supposedly sent by Kira, predicting the deaths of news anchors who have spoken out against Kira. When people start to die, Soichiro Yagami, Light’s father, decides he must do something to stop Kira.
This episode was amazing; I was surprised …
The Virginian: The Brothers TV Show
The Virginian opens its fourth season with a show called, The Brothers. The cast was actually a very strong one and that helped to make it more watchable. Still, it always amazes me how this show fragments its casts so much. I would think that they …
Next Food Network Star: Cooking for Eva Longoria TV Show
Next Food Network Star: Cooking for Eva Longoria was another interesting hour of competition for those still remaining. It’s not the cooking I’m that intrigued by as seeing how the chefs develop and evolve into TV stars because that’s really what they have to do.
In the opening challenge, …
Fame: Reunions
Fame: Reunions begins with a really fun dance class segment where the group is dancing to an African beat and then the comic, Danny Amatullo (Carlo Imperato) slips and practically knocks down the entire class. I liked this opening bit quite a lot.
The title of the show relates …

The Simpsons: He Loves to Fly and He Doh’s
That was a cute episode of the Simpson’s last night. I have seen parts of He Loves to Fly and He Doh’s but last night was the first time I have seen the entire episode.
I want to start out by saying I loved the intro to this episode; which …
Family Guy: Long John Peter
Well, I have to admit, last night’s episode of Family Guy, “Long John Peter” was pretty dang funny.
The episode starts out with Peter wanting to be a pirate after getting a pet parrot and ultimately getting the parrot killed. While at the Vet, Chris falls for the assistant and, …
The Bad Girls Club
I have been watching “The Bad Girls Club” since the show originated a few seasons back, and I still can’t believe half of what I see on this show! I don’t watch every week, and usually can’t remember half of the girls’names, but for some reason, every now and …
Stargate SG-1: Ripple Effect
Stargate SG-1: Ripple Effect is hands down the best episode of the entire final two seasons of this series. While not perfect, it was fun, and it let us revisit with much-loved characters on the show.

Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 7: The Lazarus Experiment

60 Minutes tv show
There is one part of 60 Minutes that I enjoy after all of these years, and it is Andy Rooney. His ten minute blip at the end of the show is usually far beter than the entire hour that the show airs. Andy has that comical gift …
John Adams: Unnecessary War TV Show
The sixth of seventh episodes, Unnecessary War continues the mini-series, John Adams, which aired on HBO in April 2008. It’s a complex and involved story of a patriot who is iconic, but who was just a human being full of strength and fallacy. We see the weaker …

Ghost Hunters: Inhuman Entity
Well, I waited for the new Ghost Hunters episode last night and was finally rewarded. Unfortunately, I think I liked the re-runs leading up to it a bit better.
The first case was involving a family that was being terrorized by a spirit and I will admit there was some evidence …
Pokemon (TV Show) - The Ghost of Maidens Peak (Episode)
“The Ghost of Maidens Peak” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. This episode has a mysterious and eerie aire to it that I like. It almost feels like a Halloween episode as it features a ghost Pokemon and part of the episode plays out overnight, with a …

In Performance at the White House: Paul McCartney TV Show

Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.16: The Hidden Enemy
The sixteenth episode in the series, “The Hidden Enemy”, is a few steps up from the horrid “Trespass” which preceded it. This episode is actually a prequel to “The Clone Wars” film itself and explains why the forces on the planet of Christophsis (which happens to look a lot …
TV show Peep and the Big Wide World
Peep and the Big Wide World is a wonderful kids’ show on public television. The three main characers are crudely drawn birds in primary colors. There is the somewhat smart but crabby red cardinal/robin Chirp, the hilarious and egotistical blue duck Quack, and the innocent sweet little …
Stargate SG-1: The Tomb
The early season five episodes of Stargate SG-1 had so many neat episodes, including this one called The Tomb. It’s a keeper from the get-go, with Jack being his usual impatient self while Daniel tries to decipher the way into a ziggurat.
Stargate SG-1: The Tomb has SG-1 teamed …
The Sing-Off: Night Two
The second night of The Sing-Off brought us more acapella numbers from diverse groups throughout the country. I lament that the program wasn’t aired live and instead was taped. It really took away from that spontaneous feel.
Noteworthy tried to perform a song by Cold Play, but it …

Sea Hunt: Operation Greenback TV Show
Sea Hunt: Operation Greenback was an interesting show. I actually kept wondering if it was done a bit like MacGyver which always kept something back when explaining how to make something that could be dangerous. In this episode, Mike Nelson, the expert deep sea diver played by …
The Fugitive: World’s End
In The Fugitive: World’s End, Suzanne Pleschette stars as Ellie, a woman who believes in Richard Kimball’s innocence, as did her father. Her father, who had been Kimball’s lawyer, had hired a detective and Ellie places an ad in papers across America in an attempt to contact Kimball. …
M*A*S*H: A Full Rich Day
In M*A*S*H: A Full Rich Day, Hawkeye Pierce sends another letter home to his dad, only this time it’s not written, but spoken on a tape recorder. I love the opening explanation of how Hawkeye ended up with the recorder. It’s pretty funny.
One oddity about this show …
Pure Pwnage
What can I say? This is one of the funniest tv shows that I have ever seen in my entire life. I can’t believe that it has taken me until now to actually see the show, I don’t know how I’ve missed hearing about it all this …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Magnus Beam TV Show

Stargate SG-1: Past and Present
Talk about poorly placed timing, the powers that be at Stargate SG-1 made a very bad choice. My understanding is that the episode called Past and Present was supposed to be either earlier or later in the season. After being tossed around the season schedule, it had …
CSI New York
A very successful spin off the original show CSI- Crime Scene Investigation. Unlike its older brother, which follows the lives of the crime scene investigation team in Las Vegas, this one is set in New York. The setting and the context are different and adapted to a different atmosphere, …
Sea Hunt: The Invader TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Invader aired in July 1960 as the 30th outing of the underwater adventure series’ third season on the air. The show had a decent amount of under the water activity but it wasn’t as fun as others have been for a couple of reasons.
First of …
Star Trek’s Favorite Moments featurette

MacGyver: The Challenge
Cuba Gooding Jr. stands out in this fourth season episode of MacGyver called The Challenge. Of note off the top is that the show was directed by Dana Elcar, who doesn’t appear in the episode. Elcar did an outstanding job with this show. Not only did …
Sea Hunt: The Shipwreck TV Show
Towards the end of its first season, Sea Hunt aired an episode called The Shipwreck. Among its guest stars was Leonard Nimoy. Nimoy actually did several episodes of this underwater TV show. I guess he had that outdoors look they liked.
Sea Hunt stars Lloyd Bridges, and …
NCIS: Black Water Season 2, Episode 11
“Black Water” was one of my favorite episode of NCIS. After all, it was trademark NCIS - it had a little humor, a little action, an interesting case to try and solve and a lot of team interaction. The perfect mix and what made NCIS the number …
Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura
When I saw there was a show called Conspiracy Theory and it starred former wrestler/governor Jesse Ventura; I was intrigued. Unfortunately, it came on at the same time as one of my favorite shows so I didn’t get to see it when it first aired.

Star Trek the Next Generation TV Episode: Hollow Pursuits
