TV Reviews
Seinfield
This is an alright show overall. I will watch it when there is absolutely nothing else on television. I have only seen a few episodes of the show. There are a couple parts of the show that are funny but most of it is kind of stupid. Some parts …
MacGyver: Hellfire
MacGyver: Hellfire is another episode that I really enjoy. There are only four characters in it, five if you want to include the helicopter pilot who flies Mac to the remote location where his friends are. As a result, it ends up being a show that is …
Supernatural: The Curious Case of Dean Winchester
The episode follows the two brothers as they investigate the death of a 25 year old man who died of old age. They consult Bobby, who’s shown to be more irritable than usual.
It’s discovered that a warlock turned poker shark is gambling with years of people’s …
Stargate SG-1: Disclosure
Once every season as a rule, there is a clip show done on Stargate SG-1 which essentially saves on money. It’s a filler show, with little new action. Stargate SG-1: Disclosure was the season 6 clip show, and in this case, the only regular cast member to …
COPS
“COPS” airs on Fox and each episode revolves around the daily experiences of police officers, as they go out on their patrols. I’m sure that, realistically-speaking, there are moments in a cop’s day that are very routine or mundane, but “COPS” focuses on the more dramatic aspects of …
Charm School Season Three (VH1)
I never thought I would be a fan of Charm School. Still, I can’t say that I am a fan. But I’ve caught a few episodes and have found them to be somewhat charming actually. The ladies are all from other shows. And …
The Beverly Hillbillies (TV Show) - War of the Roses (Episode)
“War of the Roses” is an episode of “The Beverly Hillbillies”. In this episode, Granny, Elly May and Jethro are determined to win the feud that they think they have with a neighboring castle. At the other castle, there’s a retired military man that’s a little to fond of …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Pokemon, I Choose You! (Episode)
“Pokemon, I Choose You!” is the first episode of the animated television show, “Pokemon”. As the first episode of the series, it works on a number of levels. For one thing, the first episode of any new television show needs to establish the primary characters and provide the primary …
The Simpsons Season 3 Episode 8 Lisa’s Pony
Homer reaches late for Lisa’ talent show, and because of which he could not give her the reed which Lisa wanted, and the end result, she loses. Lisa is very mad at her father for this. She is not willing to forgive him. He tries everything and then decides …
Diagnosis Murder: My Baby Is Out of This World TV Show
Boy, do I not like this show, Diagnosis Murder: My Baby Is Out of This World. In fact, in my view, it was a horrible way to end a TV season. I think they should have reversed this one with the one that aired before it, which …
CSI Season 1 Episode 4 Pledging Mr. Johnson
Just like always the crime scene investigation team is struggling to solve the murder cases while fighting the melancholy and the pain of their personal life. It was a really great episode, only the very last few minutes of the show were a little bit over the top, or …
The Virginian: Vengeance Trail TV Show
Vengeance Trail was the 15th episode of the fifth season of The Virginian. This particular outing focuses quite a bit on newcomer, Don Quine, who plays Stacey Grainger. He’s just too wooden, and his character here is suddenly very idealistic compared to just weeks ago when he …
One Litre of Tears (Ichi Rittoru no Namida)
This japanese series used to be a big hit in japan - and when it was subbed in North America - it became even more widely known. Based on a true story of a young girl named Aya. She is an ordinary girl - except she has an incurable …
Kapwa Ko Mahal Ko GMA 7 TV Health Public Service Program
This early morning, I chanced upon “Kapwa Ko, Mahal Ko” television program on GMA 7 and was surprised to know this show is still running. I remember it was originally aired way back 1975 by the now Philippine National Red Cross Governor, Ms. Rosa Rosal. I used to love …
The Michael Jackson Memorial - July 7, 2009
The world stopped for two hours and fifteen minutes on Tuesday, July 7 to mourn the singing legend of Michael Jackson. The services started a bit late and had a bit of a false start, perhaps, when Smokey Robinson greeted people several minutes before the Jackson family had …
Daisy Daisy
British comedienne Daisy Donovan brings us a sometimes insightful, often bizarre, but always charming insight into numerous sub-cultures and conclaves of society.
If you’ve seen her on the 11 O’Clock Show or anything of the kind, you’ll be familiar with her comedic ways. She’s as sweet as pie on the …
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 …
Smallville Season 7 episode 8
This episode of Smallville was a little weird. Basically Clark takes Kara’s crystal, sticks it in the fortress of solitude and lo and behold we have Lara, Clark’s biological mother and Zor El his evil uncle. Well replicas of them anyway.
While it was cool to see Clark’s …
TV Show: Phineas & Ferb
Synopsis: Step brothers Phineas and Ferb work to enjoy every day of their summer vacation by putting together some imaginative and impossible fun things. At the same time, their sister, Candace is determined to get them in trouble for doing those same things.
What I like about this show: I …
Saved by the Bell: The College Years
Saved by the Bell the College Years was a short lived show on NBC that followed some of the characters from the original show as they went off to college. In the pilot episode there was only Zach, Slater and Screech, but Kelly turned up in the second episode …
Highway Patrol: Mountain Copter TV Show
Highway Patrol: Mountain Copter was a show that just had me pulling out my hair from the way the action went down. However, it’s not the fault of the show, but rather the changing times.
For example, never in a billion years today would you see the ranger at …
Star Trek: The Paradise Syndrome TV Show
Star Trek: The Paradise Syndrome is really a tender show. I’m not into the Kirk romances, but I do like this one because it is true of spirit. It’s real and not some sophisticated thing or past fling who returns. This is a love of the …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Uhny Uftz (Episode)
“Uhny Uftz” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. The title of the episode is strange, but it’s fitting because the episode itself is kind of strange, at least, most of it is! Episodes pertaining to UFOs weren’t uncommon on 1950s and 1960s sitcoms due to the …
Hair Battle Spectacular: Episode 4 TV Show
I’ve come a long way with my tolerance level for Hair Battle Spectacular. While it is still an outlandish show, full of arrogant contestants, it’s not that off par from any other reality show. It just takes a bit of watching to get into the speciality of …
M*A*S*H: The Most Unforgettable Characters
While the main storyline in M*A*S*H: The Most Unforgettable Characters deals with Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) and his new creative writing course, the best plot is the one concerning Frank Burn’s (Larry Linville) birthday. Frank’s having a bad day. No one cares that it’s his birthday, especially not …
The Mike Wallace Interview TV Show
This episode of The Mike Wallace Interview featured Rod Serling and it’s really intriguing in that much of the conversation surrounds the issue of censorship. Here are a few of my impressions about this classic, black and white interview.
–It was so odd to watch the camera focused on …
Cupcake Wars - episode 1 TV Show
Television will make a show about anything these days, especially if it’s cooking related. For some reasons, America is fascinated and entranced by anything that gives us food. Thus, we now have Cupcake Wars which has four individuals vying to be king, or queen, of the cupcake …
Stargate SG-1: Summit
As season five of Stargate SG-1 continues, we get the first of a two-episode story. This first part is called Summit. Though we go off-world, the team is again split up, and quite honestly, I just don’t like this show much.
Basically, Daniel is enlisted by Jacob and …
Rising Stars tv series
I think of “Rising Stars” as the Jamaican version to the American reality television series “American Idol”. I never did like watching the television show a lot since it focuses on mainly the mainstream music, and I have never seen a contestant who I found was worth my time …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 5: Flesh and Stone
We pick up where the last episode left off, with the Doctor and crew trying to venture through a crashed ship that is infested with Weeping Angels. Sadly, this episode isn’t quite as good as its predecessor, but it is a worthy conclusion all the same. Where …
Desperate Housewives
Desperate housewives is a show created by Marc Cherry. He was inspired by the women in his life.
As I viewer I find Desperate Housewives funny, endearing and engaging.
What’s great about the show is that it’s always changing and so for a series that has been around a long …
The Lazarus Man: Awakening: Part 2
This episode is a little too confusing for me. Is he a nice guy? A villain? Just who is this Lazarus man? That’s the premise of the show, I suspect. However, I missed Part 1, so the setup of this drama from the late …
The X-Files Hungry Episode
This is one of my favorite episodes from the popular 1990s television series “TheX-Files”. It is the 142nd episode of the entire X-Files show and the 3rd episode of the 7th season of “The X-Files” I liked it because the plot was a little different and odd. This time …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-15-10 TV Show
The September 15th edition of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show pretty much bored me. I just am not a fan of hers and while she was a bit more relatable with her audience, she isn’t someone I enjoy watching.
One segment of the show involved designer Tory Burch, which …
House TV Episode: Family Practice
Synopsis: Cuddy’s mom falls ill and Cuddy insists that House figure out what is killing her even though her mom refuses to let him diagnose her.
What I liked about this episode: I have gone on record before saying I hate this whole relationship thing between House and Cuddy and, …
Roots Mini Series
I am embarrassed to admit that as an African-American I am just now seeing the mini-series Roots for the first time in my late twenties. BET recently had a marathon of it for Black History Month, and I thought it would be the perfect time for me to sit …
Smile ok please
Smile ok please is the funny and interesting programme, which is telecasted on the channel called POGO. In this programme a lot of mischieves and fun is done with the unknown public and the different actions and the face expressions of the people is captured on the camera …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.10
Funny how the previous episode was titled “Complications” when in this one, things do nothing but get even more complicated, for better or worse? I’m not quite sure. Sarah’s obsession with the three dot symbol from the basement is further explored here for the most part. She comes across …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Destroy Seaview! TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Destroy Seaview! is the 26th and final outing for this successful science fiction show’s third year of televising. It begins with a surprising move when Admiral Harriman Nelson (Richard Basehart) inexplicably sets off an explosion that causes a cave in, thereby …
M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War
M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War is a very good episode. The action begins when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is sent to the front lines to help out. The kink in this armor is that it was B.J. Hunnicutt’s (Mike Farrell) turn to go, but …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire, the 18th show of the 2nd season, was a terrific episode to watch. However, just a few moments into the show, it might look very familiar to some.
This story is a variation of the movie the series …
Ice Road Truckers: The Ace Vs. the Ice TV Show
Ice Road Truckers: The Ace Vs. the Ice was the latest installment of the 2010 season. It was a good one. My highlights, and questions, are below:
–This is the second time we’ve had a segment with Lisa about her meals. I’m not sure what the producers …
Beast Wars - Spider’s Game
Beast Wars - Spider’s Game is an episode that I definitely enjoyed. It is an episode that introduces the fourth new character to the show, the Predicon Inferno. Inferno is a character that I am real fond of, and boy is his entrance ever a grand one! For me, …
The Fugitive: Detour on a Road Going Nowhere
In The Fugitive: Detour on a Road Going Nowhere, convicted wife-murderer Richard Kimball is working at a country lodge when the finger gets pointed at him for a theft. This brings the police lurking, so Kimball hightails it away, taking the bus that travels to the remote location.
This …
Dancing with the Stars - 10-19-09
On tonight’s show, the remaining celebrities all had to do two different dances, which is always a huge challenge for them.
Natalie and Alec opened with the Paso Doble to the tune of American Woman. It just didn’t quite work for some reason. Technically, she did okay, but …
Sea Hunt: Time Fuse TV Show
Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy is back for more underwater action in Sea Hunt: Time Fuse, a third season episode which aired back in July 1960. Nimoy appeared in several shows from this adventure series. They must have loved his work since they brought him back so often, …
House: Not Cancer
OK, not only was the lastest episode of House “Not Cancer,” entertaining, it had to be one of the grossest episodes I’ve seen recently; a good combination for network television.
This episode was interesting because you have a series of people dying after receiving an organ transplant from the same …
Men of a Certain Age
I heard a lot of hype about Men of a Certain Age. Ray Romano is the primary star and there was a ton of publicity about his return to television in this show. In my opinion, he should have kept the old show going.
One of the reasons …
Probe: Quit-It
Probe: Quit-It is the last episode of this scientific crime drama, and that was a shame. I really liked the relationship between the two stars, Parker Stevenson as Austin James and Ashley Crow as Michelle Castle. They were young and refreshing, and the way they solved crimes …
