Here Come the Brides: The Log Jam
Here Come the Brides: The Log Jam is a show that has moments that are fun, but it’s also one of the more frustrating episodes of this series for me. Basically, there haven’t been any proposals in Seattle recently when all of a sudden, Jeremy Bolt (Bobby Sherman) …
Family Guy: 8×07: Jerome is the New Black
Another good episode from Family Guy, this time focusing on the void left by recently departed Cleveland. A situation we’ve been waiting for a while to see rectified.
After some funny enough attempts to fill the gap, the gang finally settle on black guy “Jerome”, an old flame of …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Easy Chicken Menu TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Easy Chicken Menu included Quinn’s 23 year old son, Calder. He’s been on this cooking show several times before, but this is the first one to my knowledge where he’s been on it from start to finish. Frankly, it’s a good …
Halt and Catch Fire (historical drama television series)
The only reason I even knew Halt and Catch Fire even existed was when I saw it advertising one day on the cable television channel AMC. However, I only became interested in seeing it for myself when I became aware that the actor Lee Pace was playing a major role. …
American Idol
American Idol; an American TV past-time for 10 seasons. And although it was great in the beginning, I can’t help but think its become a little redundant over the years.
Finding artists like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Jordan Sparks, etc. wasn’t a waste of time, by any …
M*A*S*H: The Grim Reaper
M*A*S*H: The Grim Reaper has Captain Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), chief surgeon at the 4077th unit, so incensed at Colonel Victor Bloodworth, played by Charles Aidman, that he actually gets into a fight with him at the bar. I’m just not into the shows where Hawkeye gets violent. …
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 …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 10
Alan Shore’s assistant Melissa was caught for robbing a bank. Melissa maintained that she only smashed the window. There was an agreement that was made that if Melissa will just accomplish restitution for the broken window then the bank won’t file charges. Melissa however persisted with so much arrogance …
Law & Order SVU: Retro
Some episodes of Law & Order SVU really do get you thinking. This was the case on tonight’s episode “Retro.”
There are times I wonder how some doctors manage to get and keep their medical degrees. I can understand having a certain point of view when it comes to controversial …
Simpsons TV Episode: Skinner’s Sense of Snow
I had the Simpsons on yesterday afternoon and, for a change, the channel wasn’t showing a repeat that I had seen several dozen times before. Instead, they had a newer episode (at least for me) called Skinner’s Sense of Snow.
This episode was a bit bizarre at times and I …
Diagnosis Murder: The Busy Body TV Show
Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) celebrates a birthday in Diagnosis Murder: The Busy Body from season two. What this really does is give the show a chance for some slapstick type comedy. This occurs when a policewoman shows up and slaps handcuffs on Mark, only she’s really …
Highway Patrol: Phony Cop TV Show
This episode of Highway Patrol entitled Phony Cop is actually very reminiscent of an earlier show where a man pretended to be a member of the California Highway Patrol. In that outing, the man was working with a woman who helped to set up the various robberies. …
Family Guy: I Never Met the Dead Man
Well, that was an interesting episode of Family Guy last night, “I have Never Met the Dead Man.” It was one that was a bit funny and really got you thinking a bit too.
Basically, Peter crashes his car into the satellite that provides television services to the city and …
The Time Machine - Upright Citizens Brigade show
The Time Machine is the eight episode of the Upright Citizens Brigade’s first season, and this is an episode that really highlights some of the best aspects of the show. Unique ideas drawn to absurdity (for example the whole “hole in the sheet” thing), hilarious sketches and all …
Mr. Monk and the Panic Room
One of the first Monk episodes I ever saw was “Mr. Monk and the Panic Room.” But, until tonight, I hadn’t seen the episode in a long time and really didn’t remember much about it; including who did the murder and how. So, it was great getting a chance …
“The Descent” (Season 12 Episode 2 of The Vampire Diaries)
The 12th episode of season 2 of The Vampire Diaries called “The Descent” was very moving and one of the most emotionally memorable episodes of the entire show. Not only does a myth about werewolves and vampires come to light, but the characters of Mystic Falls are in for …
Pokemon (TV Show) - The School Of Hard Knocks (Episode)
“The School Of Hard Knocks” is an episode of the “Pokemon” series which is very similar to the previous episode, “The Path to the Pokemon League” in the respect that both episodes highlight how different trainers have different attitudes and perspectives when it comes to training Pokemon. Once again, …
The Beast: Mercy TV show
When The Beast aired originally, I reviewed most of the shows right away, but I missed a couple for one reason or another. Going back, this is now the last show to be aired. Mercy was show number 8 of this crime drama that starred Patrick Swayze …
Hellcats: Beale St. After Dark TV Show
Hellcats: Beale St. After Dark was a pretty good next episode for this television series. I’m actually surprised at how much I’m liking this show, but the acting has been surprising and the plots have been more interesting than I had anticipated.
In this hour, law student Marti, who …
Mayday documentary
Mayday is a really great documentary series examining real historical occurrences of passenger plane crashes of avoided disasters. The show usually follows the same structure at first they will other set the background to the story or take the viewer directly into the crisis of the situation. This …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Blizzard Makers TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Blizzard Makers is the 13th episode from year one of this outstanding program. It opens with a new style, using newspapers to communicate what’s been happening, which is a lot of unusual weather, like blizzards in Florida. I do …
Married With Children
Every Monday through Friday night at 9pm and Saturday’s at 7pm on the CW I get the chance to watch Married with Children. It used to come on at 10:30 and 11 pm at night which meant that if I had a long day I was likely to fall …
Gilligan’s Island - St. Gilligan and The Dragon TV Show
Here we have chaos again. Chaos everywhere. The Castaways split apart into two groups, women and men. The men think the women will learn a lesson of humility and that women should be subservient to men. This kind of made me a little upset the kind of mental thought …
John Adams: Join or Die TV Show
John Adams was a 7-part mini-series on HBO. I don’t get that channel so had to wait for a chance to see it. I love revolutionary stories when well done, so going into this first episode, entitled Join or Die, I was hopeful it would engage me. …

It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
I have seen the Halloween special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” more times than I can count considering it’s been on the air since before I was born. But, last night was the first time my oldest daughter got a chance to watch it. She loved it.
Let’s put …
Doogie Howser M.D.
I think that Doogie Howser M.D. is one of the coolest old TV shows I saw growing up as a kid. This show was alway really funny. I think it was really cool how Doogie Howser was so smart even though he was so young. I mean he used …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Sermon for Today TV Show
I always get a kick out of The Andy Griffith Show: The Sermon for Today because it shows just how crazy a simple thing can become. It’s another Sunday in the small town of Mayberry, North Carolina, and the townsfolk are taking in a sermon by a guest …

Top Chef: Just Desserts: Dessert Wars TV Show
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Dessert Wars was a fairly decent episode of this Bravo reality competition series that pits a variety of pastry chefs against one another. Hosted by Gail Simmons, it has proven to be an emotional season. Below are a few highs and lows from …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Joe Garagiola TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast celebrated one time baseball catcher Joe Garagiola as the Man of the Hour. Joe was a colorful player who really did make a name for himself in the entertainment business. He did a lot of game shows and variety appearances. He …
Psych TV Episode: There’s Something About Mira
My wife wanted to watch Project Runway at 8 but I had the TV last night until then and decided to watch a re-run of Psych I had recorded on our DVR called There’s Something about Mira.
I think I have seen this episode in the past but didn’t remember …
Family Guy: Road to Rhode Island
While I’m somewhat of a Family Guy fan, some episodes of the show are a bit too lame and lack the funniness I look for in a television sitcom.
The episode Road to Rhode Island is one of those episodes.
The episode starts out with Brian feeling a sense of abandonment …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 1

Highway Patrol: Temptation TV Show
Highway Patrol: Temptation, a third season 1957 episode that focuses on the service of the California Highway Patrol, was an okay episode with some high and low points. As always, the show starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews. In this episode, he’s on the trail of …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 1, Episode 6: Imprisoned
While looking for food, the group comes across another Earthbender. It’s funny how this chapter is called “Water” and, Katara notwithstanding, we haven’t really seen any water benders. We’ve seen more of the fire and earth benders, but I’m sure we’ll see them in time.
When they greet …
Peep Show - Channel 4 - Series 7
I hadn’t realised that it had been a year since the last Peep Show series had finished so I was extremely ready for the new series to begin. Episode one, watching Mark become a further was good, it offered some typical Peep Show moments, but there was part of …
To Boldly Go … Season Three featurette
The To Boldly Go … Season Three featurette continues the goal of giving fans a lot of insight and stories about the episodes that appeared in that season. There was, however, a bunch of conversation about the campaign that saved Star Trek from being canceled after two seasons. …
That Girl: Sue Me, Sue Me, What Can You Do Me?
The final episode of the third season of the groundbreaking comedy, That Girl, is called Sue Me, Sue Me, What Can You Do Me? and concerns something that a lot of people can easily imagine and maybe even identify with completely. It concerns a fall inside Newsview Magazine, …
Star Trek: The Man Trap TV Show
Star Trek: The Man Trap has never been one of my favorite episodes. It’s an early episode from the first season, but I think it’s the romance angle that didn’t appeal to me.
Here’s what I like and don’t like about this 1966 show.
–They mystique is gone quickly as …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - All That Glitters

Star Trek: The Conscience of the King TV Show
Quite frankly, Star Trek: The Conscience of the King isn’t a show I really like to watch that much. I won’t necessarily turn it off if it comes on, but it’s not one of those episodes that makes me excited when I realize it’s coming on, nor is …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.8 - Fly Away Haim
In the finale of the first season, Haim makes Joanne (wow, she’s back!) breakfast and screws up the kitchen in the process. What a lovely surprise this is for Susie and Feldman when they discover it that way. However, looks like the breakfast was all for nothing as Joanne …
That Girl: Stag Party
The wedding between Ann and Don is getting closer with the advent of Don’s stag party. We actually never get to see the wedding, and the shows after this just mention the upcoming nuptials. As always, Marlo Thomas and Ted Bessell are just superb in their portrayals.
In …
