When I heard Melrose Place was going to be remade I thought it wouldn’t be very good. The thing about Melrose Place and 90210 was they were perfect in the nineties because they reflected the values of culture being pushed to the limits. Today when television has such …

Buddy shows, that is shows that focus chiefly on two friends working together, are at their best when they focus on the buddies together. Sadly, and usually due to ego and agents, shows ultimately happen that split the team up. One goes one way, and the other goes …

Come Dine With Me is one of those TV shows that I originally would have run a mile to get away from, but which I am slowly finding myself being drawn into. The setup is really pretty simple, in that a small group of chefs (amateur ones rather than …

Another week of musical performances, and I’m going to start with Adam Lambert. Now, the guy can sing, but it’s Country Week. I don’t really care that he wanted to be true to himself and who he is. It’s Country week, so sing country. It …

After a little bit more comedy at Naruto’s expense, episode 6 finally provides what all the previous episodes have been pointing towards: real, dangerous, action. And this episode did a superb job of introducing the action. There is enough explanatory dialog to keep the story going strong without confusing …

“The Simpsons” is one of the animated series first aired by the cable television channel FOX which I have and will always consider as a classic. I have seen many popular culture references to it in movies and even other cartoons such as “South Park.” However, I think what …

The September 28th edition of Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn dealt with breakfast foods for dinner. Now that’s my style. I love breakfast foods, but I do not eat breakfast. I can’t explain it, but if I do, I tend to get sick. My …

Starhub Cable Vision (SCV) is a singapore based cable tv company. I have been using their service on a regular basic for the last ten years. Generally i am quite pleased with the services as they have continue to improve the quality and quantity of programs available.
They have …

From 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Parallel is an intriguing hour of entertainment. It’s a show I enjoy quite a bit. The story dabbles in the concept of parallel universes or alternate dimensions or alternate realities. There are fine lines that separate the differences of these, …

This episode of Dog the bounty hunter has to be my absolute favorite. Why might you ask? Well it shows a lot of Leland Chapman, which happens to be my favorite bounty hunter because he is just so drop down gorgeous, and he seems so funny. The fugitive that …

I am watching “Are you smarter than a fifth grader” from the beginning of the season, and I have to say that it is a fun show to watch. It looks funny, when a grown up guy falls into the traps of very easy questions, which little children can …

This episode focuses on the triad. Orpheus discovers that the outrider, the same man who stole his wife, is able to travel between worlds and resolves to attempt to do the same.
We see the return of the master, who tries to give Orpheus some advice while …

I have seen several of the Dairy Queen commercials that are airing on television and for me they do NOT make me want to go out and purchase anything they have. Take the woman dressed up as an ice cream and the man as the waffle bowl. She shows …

Due South: Dead Men Don’t Throw Rice was a somewhat strange episode that was still oddly fascinating. In the course of working on a case and trying to find out information on the crime and wrongdoers, Canadian Constable Benton Fraser, played by Paul Gross who is also the …

The Discovery Health Channel has introduced a show called Strictly Drew that is on Thursday evenings, and offered as an On-Demand option, for those of you who obtain that service from your cable company. Anyway, I have watched the show only twice and I am now addicted. …

Gene Roddenberry tackles Eden yet again in Star Trek: The Apple. The series creator seems to love to show that books shouldn’t be judged by their covers and that living easy isn’t necessarily living. Man never quite finds paradise in Star Trek.
Another red shirt goes down before …

The other day I was watching mtv and I caught a couple of episodes of Randy Jackson Presents Americas best dance crew. I really enjoyed watching it and I watched the live auditions for season two and the first episode of season two. I enjoy watching this show because …

The Veil was a short lived anthology series from 1958. I haven’t seen any of them before now, and I find it to be an intriguing broadcast. Boris Karloff hosts the show, and it begins with him doing his introduction in front of a huge fireplace, like …

From January 1960, Sea Hunt: Hot Cargo deals with Mike Nelson leading the first underwater flotilla command for the Coast Guard, which is a bit of a twist. We’ve seen Nelson on reserve duty for the Navy, which is logical since he’s an ex-Navy frogman, but what we …

Kim Possible is a show on Disney about a cheerleader and her bumbling sidekick (and his pet naked mole rat) who repeatedly saves the world. It is a very cute cartoon aimed mainly at teens, but also enjoyable for adults- or at least this adult.
In Steal Wheels, the first …

M*A*S*H: The Nurses is a great episode, and it’s one I’ve always remembered from it’s original air date back in 1976. It’s extra hot in Korea, and tempers are short, especially between Major Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) and her nurses. Things escalate when Margaret finds her nurses …

From 1961, Sea Hunt: Mercy Ship had some interesting intrigue to it. Though the stories often include fascinating sea creatures, this episode takes a turn that puts deep sea diving expert, Mike Nelson, in the middle of a war.
Playing Nelson is Lloyd Bridges. He’s very good …

All right, this is a pretty silly episode. The idea of a world where Texas runs America and lawyers decide who wins a case through the barrel of a gun isn’t exactly the most realistic of scenarios. However it is a bit of good fun and when …

“Desert Cantos” isn’t as bad as “Alpine Fields” or “Earthlings Welcome Here” but it isn’t as good as say “The Good Wound”, it is a rather ‘tame’ follow-up to that latter episode though. Following the destruction of the covert factory in the middle of nowhere, a company funeral is …

Sometimes a clever twist at the end of a season finale is a good thing for a series. Other times, like in the case of the show Bones, it might not be such a great move.
I missed seeing the season finale, The Pain in the Heart, when it first …

Life Beyond Trek: William Shatner began with Shatner’s love of horses. I’ve known for years and years that he loved the equestrian way of life. I’ve seen him on talk shows and such discussing it and on other shows where he did some of what we saw …

Recently, I had a chance to watch some classic Felix the Cat cartoons. I used to watch these with great pleasure when growing up. Well, not these specific ones I’m reviewing. These are older ones that I’m seeing for the first time, but there was a …

The show “Johnny Bravo” was one of my favorite shows on Cartoon Network in the late 90s and early 2000s. In fact, I liked it better than the shows “Cow and Chicken” and “Dexter’s Laboratory” which were also popular shows which aired around that time on Cartoon Network. I …

On September 19, 1982, a new television show hit the airwaves, and I was there for the happy start. One of my favorites, Richard Dean Anderson, had left General Hospital and was quickly cast in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, which was based on the famous musical of …

I loved watching the Hannah Montana series ever since its first season. That was when we were really young. My favorite character is Lilly. All the characters are funny but Lilly’s humor is different. She sometimes act like she’s slow or dumb and it’s funny! I like every episode. …

Hey, look at that. I came across back-to-back Simpsons episodes tonight and they were both Christmas related.
“Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” is by far my favorite though. For those of you who don’t understand the history of the show, this is the very first Simpsons episode (after it …

This episode of Highway Patrol called Expose begins at the Maple Leaf Motel run by Mr. Walters. Two men want to collect a bill that turns out to be a part of a protection racket run by a man named Daggett. Walters refuses to pay after having …

The Mainstream Media is considered to be any news organization that delivers news. Conservatives try to portray the media as having a bias against conservatives. One of the first things that I would like to say about this is that I don’t see how you can shape …

Stargate SG-1: Tangent is a very nice entry in season four of SG-1. It again divides the team up, but they are all focused on the same goal, and it’s full of angst and drama.
Jack and Teal’c are testing the new X-301 interceptor, which combines both American and …

Bruce Campbell stars in the title role of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., a unusual western series that is part science fiction and part comedy. Julius Carry co-stars as his sometimes partner, Lord Bowler. In this episode, Hard Rock, Brisco learns a bit more about the …

Synopsis: Josh and his crew travel to Thailand in search of a half-human, half-plant creature that the locals claim to have seen in the jungle. The second investigation has them traveling in search of a sea monster.
What I liked about this episode: There are times when the show doesn’t …

The episode which featured Benjamin Bratt on Ellen Talk Show was quite alright but I was hoping for a more better looking Benjamin Bratt. His look was very messy and unkempt and how I wished he looked like in his younger days whereby he has this jet black hair, …

Star Trek: The Jihad is all about trying to avoid a religious war. An artifact has been stolen, and it’s up to a select few to retrieve it and keep the theft a secret. Otherwise, the repercussions would be huge and possibly include a galactic holy war.
There …

I watched the Family Guy episode “Running Mates” for the first time yesterday and found myself feeling unimpressed.
I’m not sure why, but this episode, which has Peter and Lois competing against each other for school board president just didn’t seem as funny as other episodes in the series. It …

The Tyra Banks Show stars ex-supermodel, Tyra Banks. Evidently Miss Tyra is taking her fame and fortune to help other people. That is what I�ve witnessed when I see episodes of this show. Tyra hosts celebrities but it seems more than anything, she features real people who have done …

Well I know when Deal or No Deal is on because the phone will ring about 5 minutes after it comes on. It is my Dad, He calls me and my brother and sisters to tell them they can win 10,000 to guess the case. So to appease him …

The eleventh episode in the series, “Dooku Captured”, takes a bit of a more lighthearted and comedic approach to it unlike the previous two episodes (”Cloak of Darkness” and “Lair of Grevious”) but does manage to remain interesting at the same time. On board a Separatist freighter, Anakin Skywalker …

In all honesty, I have never liked The Wish Child episode of MacGyver. This second season entry just doesn’t appeal to me at all, even with a decent cast that includes Tia Carrere and George Takei. Carrere is actually only in the beginning and end, but she’s …

A few shows back, Julie Adams guest starred on The Andy Griffith Show: Three’s a Crowd as County Nurse Mary Simpson. I stated in my review that she was a strong woman, and thus, the romance didn’t last. The producers apparently attempted to fluff up Mary and …

What I like about M*A*S*H: The Bus is that it’s all done away from the 4077th and is more about the character interaction than gimmicks; at least, for the most part.
Colonel Potter, Hawkeye Pierce, B.J. Huneycutt, Frank Burns, and Radar O’Reilly are returning from an event on the 4077th’s …

Help Wanted is one episode of That Girl that I have always remembered. It reminds me of one of my favorite episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show when Laura fills in for Sally to help Rob, but Rob gets all out of sorts about the situation. …

National Geographic is famed for producing very interesting, scientifically accurate television specials. In this television special, entitled Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure, computer generated animation brings the Cretaceous Period ocean to life. Millions of years ago, the state of Kansas, and in fact, the entire Midwest, was …

In the last episode we saw Sam’s mother singing Sandman song to little Sam and then Sam, the real Sam not the child one, saw a girl riding her bike and singing the same song. In this episode this girl is dead and everyone thinks that a man called …

Kekkaishi Episode 1 is an anime about a boy named Yoshimori Sumimura who is 14 years old. He, along with rival girl Tokine Yukimura defends their school called karasumori from supernatural entities at night.
This episode is pretty good, it does a very good job of explaining the story …

I really love crime stories, and this one focuses on the fact that detectives have no more than 48 hours to get the best clues in the most difficult homicide cases. I had trouble believing at first that this many crimes actually get solved. It seems …
