Star Trek: Journey to Babel is one of the legendary shows because it introduces us to Spock’s parents, Sarek and Amanda. Mark Lenard plays Sarek, a role he’d continue to play in the Star Trek movies as well as the spin off series, Star Trek: The Next Generation. …

The Big Brother 12th season finale definitely had its moments from beginning to end. The show included the 3rd of the three competitions to see who would be the final Head of Household, Hayden or Lane. It was one of those rounds where they were asked questions …

The miniseries “Kingdom Hospital”, was possibly one of the most disappointing Stephen King films I have ever seen. It came across as tedious and of course, there was the lack of dark humor which I expected it to have, being that I heard that it was taken from a …

First things first, in regards to the theme song (which I’m still digging). The group is from Britain, they aren’t American like I said in the review for the first episode. Ok, on to the review.
This show manages to go back and forth between nonsensical and downright …

The Fugitive: Tiger Left, Tiger Right had Richard Kimble kidnapped as a case of mistaken identity. A man who had been injured and could no longer walk without crutches had intended to kidnap the man he held responsible. Instead, he got Kimball, who had been working as …

The group comes across a sign advertising a fire festival. Sokka is skeptical, but Aang sees it as a rare opportunity to learn some firebending. Katara agrees, though she thinks that they should wear disguises. I was hoping this would result in the return of Aang’s …

I’m starting to wonder why I bothered renting the second season of the show Ghost Hunters. I say this because I’m two disks into the season now and have yet to see anything convincing. The sixth (or seventh) episode of the show “The Ledge Lighthouse” once again proves to …

The last few House episodes have been kind of sucky considering Wilson has been AWOL from the show following his falling out with House. So, it was great to see an episode “Birthmarks” that finally brings him back.
In a way, this was a bit of a depressing episode because …

Privledged is a show about a girl who finished university and now can’t get a job anywheree xcept as a nanny for a couple of rich kids Rose and Sage.
Firstly I have to say Rose and Sage are awesome names for twins. Joanna Garcia is in this series …

Oh no. It’s another story about a ventriloquist and his wooden doll, this one a female. I really don’t like these stories. I recently watched all of The Twilight Zone and there were several shows of this theme there. Then there was one on Mrs. …

When Ann Marie sprains her ankle while filming a scene, boyfriend Don Hollinger comes to rescue, and it’s pretty funny, even if there are more continuity issues between this episode and prior ones. That Girl: A Friend in Need has Don tending to his girlfriend’s every need, even …

One of my very favourite television shows is Iron Chef America. It is shown on the Food Network (Channel 34 on Cogeco Cable) several times a week, generally in the evenings after 9 p.m.
The premise of the television show is that chefs who are specialists in different areas …

I really haven’t watched much of Smallville over the years. I saw a few shows in its premier season, back when Tom Welling looked more like a teenager than a grown man and when John Schneider was playing his father. I liked it, but it never hooked …

Whoopi: Sticky Fingers, from November 2003, features Whoopi Goldberg’s character of Mavis Rae being arrested for shoplifting. What led into the tale was Mavis shopping with Nasim (Omid Djalili) and talking about how she was being watched for shoplifting because of her race and that it superceded Nasim’s …

I just smile when I see the every day qualities that are so real in this show about the life of these space puppets. In Fireball XL5: A Day in the Life of a Space General, Lieutenant Ninety is a little overtired and ends up getting yelled at …

OK, just when I thought cartoons based on comic books have gone a bit too far, there is another one that pops up. Batman vs. Dracula is one of the examples of it.
The Batman character has gone through a few transformations over the years and the Cartoon Network version …

The Fall Guy: The Adventures of Ozzie and Harold is not a favorite episode of mine by any stretch of the imagination. There are a number of reasons for this. First, the opening stunt sequence I don’t find believable, not because of the action, but I just …

I recently had the chance to watch the five episodes of the Manga-like action Anime titled Afro Samurai, and must admit it was one of the best anime I have seen for a long time now.
The story evolves under a Japanese Tech setting, whilst at the same time, a …

Another interesting Ghost Hunters episode; or at least something that seemed interesting at first; Irish Ruins.
This one has the TAPS team doing some investigating in Ireland and England. The first case had them at the ruins of a building in the middle of nowhere that is now overgrown with …

Highway Patrol: Cargo Hijack, a half hour police drama from the early years of television, was a show from its fourth and final season on the air, the 26th to be exact.
This episode is a story about a robbery team that doesn’t do their homework. Sheila Nolan (Cathy …

Cowboy Bebop Episode 23 has Spike, Jet, Ed and Faye all after the leader of a strange cult after its members start committing suicide.
This was one of the weirdest episodes of the entire anime. It’s visually interesting but I got a little dizzy because the images were …

Project Runway: A Look in the Line had an element that I’ve missed since the cancellation of Models of the Runway. On that show, the designers always picked their models for the next week and much of the time, they were told they had to pick new ones. …

Love of a Bad Woman is the 28th episode of Have Gun - Will Travel’s third season and it has a fun opening with Paladin playing chess. I really like these scenes of San Francisco life more than I do the gunfighter stories much of the time. …

The West Wing was created by Aaron Sorkin, who previously had an excellent, under-rated series called Sports Night. The West Wing is a fictionalized account of the White House. Martin Sheen plays president Jeb Bartlett. While Bartlet is ever present, the focus of the show is …

Tonight’s results show for Dancing with the Stars was the most enjoyable results show of the season. They didn’t have much fluff because before they actually got to the results, they had the conclusion to the competition for the new professional dancer for next season. Mayo Alanen …

“Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow” was an epic addition to the Trinity Blood saga. This is really the only fluff episode I have ever seen on Trinity Blood and a very fitting fifth episode to boot. Father Abel Nightroad and Sister Esther Blanchet arrive in Rome to find Sister Esther …

I’ve heard nothing but good things about this series, and I finally got a chance to check it out. As is the case with most television pilots, this one is pretty basic and not all that impressive. I was impressed by the theme song, however. That …

Steve Joyce, CEO of Choice Hotels, is the executive going under cover in this first show of Undercover Boss’ second season. They’ve changed up the scenario a little bit to try to prevent people from realizing what is happening, now that this is the second year of the …

Just as the first episode of Season 3 had, the second show of the year, Log 35: Easy, Bare Rider, begins right in the middle of the action with no introductory banter between our two heroes of Pete Malloy and Jim Reed. However, this time around, the humor …

Season Five Episode 9
What’s Your Sign?
Francisco Costa Guest Judge
In this episode, the designers get a blast from the past.
After the usual model elimination, Heidi tells the remaining designers she has special guests waiting for them and when they appear from behind the silhouette screen, it is the designers who …

Fire on the Wing, episode 6 of Street Hawk, is probably my favorite of the series, and there’s a really good reason for that. One of my most enjoyed actresses appears in a main guest starring role. Kristen Meadows, who I had followed for years on One …

Ever since our old TV started to show signs of breaking down I had been thinking for a replacement. I finally decided to buy a new one last month, a Sony Bravia HDTV. It was a 22 inch flat LCD, model KLV BX300. The original price was 1000 Saudi …

In the past, I really wasn’t much of a Family Guy fan. I would watch the show and laugh at a few of the jokes but thought a lot of the stuff was a bit too crude for my tastes so I never was a huge fan.
I’m not sure …

OK, I have to say last night’s episode of Family Guy was a bit corny but still somewhat interesting.
The episode “Long John Peter” kind of stretched things a bit too far in my opinion with Peter getting a parrot and then deciding he wanted to be a pirate. This …

A new girl at school Alison begins to beat Lisa in every field. Whether it is education, extra-curricular activities, and so on. This makes Lisa very jealous of Alison. She does not get the post in the band, but Alison does. This makes her feel threatened. She decides to …

I really enjoy elements of Log 45: Bright Boy, a third season entry for the Adam-12 crime drama that aired for several seasons on NBC. There’s some nice banter at the beginning between the first crime segment, and that’s just how I like to see it happen.
My favorite …

The beginning of the Star Trek legacy was back in 1966 with a pilot produced by Gene Roddenberry called The Cage. No one could imagine that this would be the birth of a legendary show that would last well beyond Roddenberry’s lifetime. In the mid-eighties with the …

It was a very spontaneous decision to watch the first episode of Masterchef that was on the Fox network last night. I dislike Gordon Ramsey greatly. He’s a loudmouth, obnoxious man, at least that’s how he presents himself to be on television. I just can’t stomach …

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 …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Fogg Bound from December 1960 is more of a humorous outing for this western series which starred Richard Boone as Paladin, the gunfighter for hire. The show is based on the Jules Verne creation, “Around the World in 80 days.”
The show opens with …

Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) and his father, Leonard (Harry Morgan), take off for the island of San Marcos in Blacke’s Magic: Prisioner of Paradise. The reason for the visit is the arrest of long sought criminal. Michael Constantine played the small role well. He didn’t have …

A vicious serial killer flitting between alternate realities to live out his sinister fantasies without retribution is the premise of this episode.
This is a solid enough episode, and one of the first to really seal the new pairing of Doggett and Reyes as something to take notice of. Both …

I watched a New TV Program called American Dad that aired after the superbowl and it all stated in the kitchen table with Stan Family. Stan Disapporived Hayley Lifesytles and Steve told Stan that he want a date with Lisa Sliver. then Stan give his wife Francine Kisses and …

When I heard that there was going to be a broadcast of the mini-series made from Stephen King’s book “The Stand,” I was very excited. I read the book years ago and it was one of my favorites. I am sorry to say I was not …

I really hate how they keep messing with the overall format of the show “House.” It is a great medical drama that keeps losing momentum because of all the dumb little side stories you have to contend with each week.
The episode “Painless” for example, has a great case in …

Yo Gabba Gabba is, ostensibly, a children’s show, but I find myself drawn into it just as much as my children.
The basic premise is that DJ Lance Rock has friends who come to life when he removes them from his boom box and says the magic words “Yo …

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, …

Diagnosis Murder: Mind Over Murder opens with a psychic television show that has one of them suddenly bursting out of her seat and landing in the hospital. Meanwhile at the hospital, Norman (Michael Tucci) is back, showing off pictures of his trip. The pictures aren’t the things …

Tales of the Gold Monkey, the pilot, Part 2 concludes the pilot, which surprised me by holding my interest.
As Jake Cutter, Stephen Collins has the right amount of swagger, heart, and courage. I love his relationship with his dog, Jack, and the blooming emotions he’s getting with Sarah …

The Virginian: Two Men Named Laredo isn’t too bad to watch. It actually was unusual in that the 90-minute western dealt with mental illness. At the center of that was Fabian, who showed some acting chops in his portrayal of Eddie aka: Josh Laredo. He joins …
