TV Reviews
Oprah Winfrey
I tried to watch recently on two different occasions. I had a hard time getting through each episode. The first time, I gave her the benefit of the doubt; I thought it was just the topic that I was not very interested in. She was really …

Synopsis: Plankton, tired of always failing in his attempts to get a Krabby Patty, wishes he could spend just a day in Mr. Krab’s shoes just to see what it was like and uses an invention of his to do just that.
What I liked about this episode: This is …
Spongebob: Frankendoodle
Ok, I will admit it, while one of the stupidest Spongebob Squarepants epiosodes I’ve ever seen, the episode “Frankendoodle” is actually quite funny; in fact, it might be one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen in a while.
I’m still a bit confused about why a pencil lost by an …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jimmy Stewart TV Show
The great and awesome Jimmy Stewart is the Man of the Hour in The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was taped in Las Vegas. Right off the bat, I’ll say that the wonder of this hour is the quality of the talent there to roast Stewart. There …
That 70s Show: Love of My Life
I can’t remember if I have reviewed the That 70s Show episode Love of My Life before. If I have, I’m sorry. But, I saw it again last night and still think it is one of the funnier episodes from the series; at least the very end of the …
Roseanne Season Five
The fifth season of Roseanne was one of the last really great seasons of the show. It was before things got too wacky and the show was still grounded in reality a little bit. I thought the only unrealistic thing was when Roseanne, Jackie, and Nancy opened a restaurant …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit
Law and Order Special Victims Unit is a series that is part of the Law and Order franchise.
I myself love this show and think it has many great things to offer an audience.
The show itself focuses on sex crimes and the detectives that solve them. The show …

Sister Sister
Sister Sister is a very funny TV show that has always made me laugh. I thin the episodes are pretty well written and fun. The show is about two twin sisters. Tia and Tamara look a lot alike but they have very different personalities. I think both of the twins …
Life on Mars Season 1 Episode 1 Out Here in the Fields
The episode starts in a really interesting way, not because of the event that takes place but what’s interesting is the dialogue between the 2 protagonists. This is the first episode of this show and the producers want us to remember the names of the characters so as they …
Laramie: Deadly Is the Night TV Show
Lloyd Nolan is the primary guest star in Laramie’s 3rd season show, Deadly is the Night. Once again, he faces off with Jess Harper, as played by Robert Fuller. To me, Fuller is Jess Harper. He was born for this role, and to my knowledge, it’s …
The Prisoner: Arrival (2009) TV Show
Back in the 1960’s, Patrick McGoohan masterminded a very strange and peculiar show for British television that aired for one crazy season. It was an intellectual show that could easily stagger and boggle the mind of the average person. In 2009, AMC aired an updated version of …
Fireball XL5
The series Fireball XL5 is just awesome. What is odd about my affection for this puppet series is that I’m not really into puppeteering at all, neither did I watch this series when it was first on back in 1962-1963. At least, I don’t recall watching it, …

Venture Bros: Return to Malice
This episode was…interesting. 21, grief stricken over the death of his buddy, decides to get revenge on those he believes are responsible, namely, Hank and Dean.
It seems 21 has been pushing himself to new limits as he’s the most feared of the henchmen. …
Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is a late night show. This show usually comes on the same time Conan does, well I guess it would be the Jimmy Fallon show now. I love Craig Ferguson since the first time I caught his show. He doesn’t always have …
M*A*S*H: Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Tom Sullivan, who is blind in reality, guest stars in M*A*S*H: Out of Sight, Out of Mind, a very nice show from early in the fifth season of this quality wartime TV series. Wounded and blinded as a soldier, his character provides support temporarily to Hawkeye Pierce (Alan …
Burn Notice: Bad Blood
Burn Notice: Bad Blood was actually the first episode I’d ever seen of Burn Notice and the only reason I watched it was because of the guest star, Michael Shanks. Shanks is my #2 all time favorite actor so I definitely had to watch this show. Not …
Private Eye: Light and Shadows TV show
Private Eye: Light and Shadows begins with a black female loan officer hiring Jack Cleary (Michael Woods) to protect her. She’s being followed and claims not to know why. The woman is Helen Burke, played strongly and capably by Lisa Wilkinson. What is funny to me …
Ghosthunters Television Series
Ever since I saw the first Ghosthunters episode advertising on the cable television channel, Syfy, I have been hooked to the show ever since. Somehow I think that it seems to be a little more realistic than other shows about the paranormal on television such as “Most Haunted”, “Paranormal …
M*A*S*H: The Incubator
M*A*S*H: The Incubator has some funny bits to it, but this second season entry for the highly hysterical comedy series isn’t one that’s high up on my list. There’s nothing that bothers me about it, but it’s just not that memorable. I guess you could say that …
Trigun Episode 1
Trigun is a Japanese Anime space western that takes place on a distant planet called Gunsmoke. It involves bounty hunters trying to collect the bounty on Vash the Stampede, who has a $$60,000,000,000 bounty on his head. He’s known as the “Humanoid Typhoon” because he causes a …

Breaking Bad: Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot

Stargate SG-1: Window of Opportunity is a taste of fresh air in season four of this science fiction series. It’s a comedic retreat that occurs when Jack and Teal’c are the only two on Earth who realize they are reliving the same events, over and over again.

Blacke’s Magic: Death Goes to the Movies
Blacke’s Magic: Death Goes to the Movies is a fun entry in my opinion. I like it because the theme is the movie industry, which I’m interested in. In the beginning, magician Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) is helping a movie company to stage an important part of …

It is Halloween time, and like every “Treehouse of Horror” episode, there are 3 small episodes packed into one episode. The first is about the evil Monkey Paw. Inspite of the warning that it is evil, Homer buys it, because it can grant 3 wishes. The first wish is …

Destination Truth TV Episode: Spirits of Easter Island
Well, last night was the season finale of Destination Truth; Spirits of Easter Island. And, upon reflecting on it a bit, I have to say it was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.
Seeing Easter Island and all those giant heads was pretty cool. But, the investigation really …
The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive TV Show
While there is drama in The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive, it’s the fun element that I enjoy. This is a playful, endearing, happy ever after type of story, and that’s just my style.
J. Pat O’Malley is absolutely perfect casting for Old Ben, an elderly gentlemen who loves to …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 50 (Anime)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 50 begins with soldiers being ordered to shoot everyone except Colonel Mustang. Roy’s old squadron from Ishval arrives to help him while Olivier makes her decision in which side she’s going to take.
This episode was really exciting. The fight scenes were awesome, and …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Song Festers TV Show
From February 1964, The Andy Griffith Show: The Song Festers is a favorite episode. It’s fun and poignant, and more than either of those, it’s an entertaining half hour. That said, it’s not all new and it doesn’t necessarily make a lot of sense either.
In this episode, …
Columbo: Suitable for Framing TV Show
Ross Martin guest stars as Dale Kingston, who kills his uncle for art in Columbo: Suitable for Framing. Kingston has one of those very serious art shows on television. I’d never watch it. Kingston, though, is enamored with art, and he kills more than his …

This starts out with a funny scene where Jim and his friend are watching the Superbowl, and Jim wants chips. He asks his friend if there’s anymore and is told that they’re out, but when he stands up to get more a lot of chips fall out of his …
News 36 KXAN
I usually watch KXAN channel 36 for my news channel. I think the anchors Robert Hadlock and Leslie Rhode are very professional and yet they give us the news in a more human manner instead of simply reading the news.
Rhode has not been on the channel until recently …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 2 (Animated)

The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 15: Lazarus
After the previous episode left a bad taste in my mouth with it’s goofy, out of nowhere, plot twist; this episode washes said taste out with a rather magnificent episode that left me enthralled throughout the entire runtime of the episode.
After receiving an anonymous tip about an impending bank …

Models of the Runway: Chic Clique
As I predicted with last week’s Models of the Runway episode, the show is starting to get a bit on the predictable side. Once a designer is eliminated, it is pretty much a given his model will be too since the designers always seem to stick with their models; …
CSI Season 5 Episode 13- Nesting Dolls
I thought this episode was really interesting, just from the point of view of the human drama of it. I don’t know if the investigation was really that interesting or exciting. I do know for sure that the acting like a Russian part did not go well. It was …

M*A*S*H: Major Topper
The final episode of the sixth season, M*A*S*H: Major Topper, is pretty good. What I like about it is how it shows off the power of the mind. Most people just don’t realize how much the human mind can do. It’s capable of far more than …
