Adam 12 - Log 174: Loan Sharks
The third season of the great police drama Adam-12 began in September 1970 with Log 174: Loan Sharks. The first thing that’s really noticeable is the new introduction. This is the one that ends with the police car rolling into a lot right towards the viewer and …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Prophecy Girl
I finally got to see the season 1 finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Prophecy Girl” and have to admit it made up for the numerous crappy episodes of the series in that first season.
The episode has Buffy finally facing the Master; more importantly it has her doing so …
M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye
Outside of the upcoming Blood Brothers episode which I consider to be tops all the way around, M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye is the best of the ninth season. It’s a show that starts out in an unsuspecting style with Hawkeye Pierce waking up in the middle of the …
The Tyra Banks Show
I used to like watching The Tyra Banks Show, but it seems to be getting progressively unoriginal. There are a lot of things you can talk about on a talk show, but Tyra is starting to bore me, because lately her topics have been on dating, relationship problems, …
The Ellen Degeneres Show - Hugh Laurie
Recently, one of my favourite persons on tv appeared on the Ellen Degeneres Show….Hugh Laurie other know as the only doctor on television with a cure for end-of-the-weekend-itis….yes, Dr. Gregory House himself….and like i’ve said over and over again, I just looove Ellen Degeneres…and no..not the Portia kinda love …
Bones: The Hero in the Hold
I missed a good portion of the second season of Bones so when everyone started talking about the Gravedigger in last night’s episode “The Hero in the Hold” I was a bit lost about the whole thing; especially when they started talking about being buried alive.
However, the episode itself …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 10: The Satan Pit
The last episode had a lot of great build up, leading one to believe that this episode would be a let down. Luckily, that was proven incorrect as this episode is just as good as the last one.
I was glad to see that the script didn’t …
Big Brother - USA
Big Brother is a “reality” television show that centers around a group of people forced to live in a house with no television, no telephones and no contact with the outside world for three months. The final person left in the house at the end of the three months …
Nick at Nite
I grew up watching Nick at Nite. I was born in 1980.
I watched The Monkees, Get Smart, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Green Acres, and countless other shows, such as Mary Tyler Moore.
I am sorely disappointed in Nick at Nite today. Sure, Roseanne, Home Improvement and George Lopez are …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Return
The Return is the seventh episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. This is pretty good episode featuring dozens of the Justice Leaguers, including many we rarely see, uniting against a threat of unimaginable power. After six episodes focusing on smaller groups of heroes, it was nice to …
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection is actually part two of the story that began in Prometheus the week before. However, they really aren’t connected in terms of the story. Prometheus was an avenue to get the ship in space and meet up with the Asgard.
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection …
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 12- What Fresh Hell?
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 12- What Fresh Hell?
In this episode a girl named Billie disappears right from the playground during a soccer practice. She has an argument with her mother and is sent to run around the court to release some of the tension. At first everyone believes …
Law & Order: SVU
If you’re looking for a show to watch Tuesday nights, Law & Order Special Victims Unit is it. It has to be the best of the Law & Order franchise and I make sure never to miss an episode.
In addition to being a great crime drama, the storylines in …
Beast Wars - Gorilla Warfare
Beast Wars - Gorilla Warfare is an episode that offers quite a lot of action and allows a viewer to see a side of Optimus that is not seen too often in the series. Of course, the only reason Optimus comes unhinged in this episode and becomes excessively aggressive …
The Twilight Zone: The Lonely TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Lonely is one of the classic episodes of this series. I thoroughly enjoy it each and every time I see it. It’s the concept that makes it intriguing. Jack Warden is a convict, sentenced to live the rest of his life on …
Fame: The Crazies
Mr. Shorofsky calls it The Crazies, a time in the year when everyone goes a little nuts, and that is indeed what Fame: The Crazies. The catalyst for a big part of the insanity is Doris Schwartz (Valerie Landsburg) who gets on an honesty kick, something that becomes …
Two’s Company (pilot)
Two’s Company was an unsold pilot that starred Marlo Thomas and Ron Hussman as a married couple named Bob and Caroline. Hussman is a lawyer who in the pilot went in to ask for a raise, was denied it, and, feeling unappreciated, quit. A former model, Caroline …
The Office, season five: Business Ethics
“Business Ethics” is a great low key episode of season five of the Office on NBC. It features a lot of Michael and Holly, and not a lot of Pam and Jim, which is fine. There are so many great characters on this show almost any 21-minute …
The Simpsons: Season 16, Episode 19 - Thank God It’s Doomsday
It’s time for haircuts again, and the Simpson kids try to convince Marge to let them get their hair cut at the mall. When that doesn’t work, Homer rushes in to say that they’re making fresh cinnamon buns at the mall, so they’re throwing out the old ones. …
The Third Leaders’ Debate, UK general election campaign 2010
The third and final of the televised leaders’ debates in the weeks before the 2010 British general election was broadcast by the BBC and was primarily (although not entirely) to be on the subject of the economy, which was hardly surprising to me given that the polls consistently show …
Running Wilde: Pilot TV Show
I watched the pilot for Running Wilde just to say that I’m giving some of the new comedies a chance. I really don’t like today’s sitcoms. They are rude and crude and so off color that they make me cringe. I’m much more into the traditional …
The Simpsons Season 3 Episode 6
Krusty appears to be too busy with his work, that he declines to meet Bart again. This makes Bart very sad, and he writes an angry letter to Bart. However this time his secretary warns him if he does not meet Bart, she will leave his job. Krusty agrees …
Friends Season One - The one with the birth
It is time for Carol to give birth to Ross’s baby, but all Ross and Susan can seem to do is argue about who is going to help Carol with the birth more. Ross feels like he should be in a big part of it because after all it …
Home Improvement Show
I love this show, Home Improvement. It reminds me of growing up in the ’90s. I loved the banter between Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson, who played his wife, Jill. I like how they work everything out with each other and care about what the other thinks. And they …
Psychic Detectives
If you do not believe in psychic powers before watching Psychic Detectives, you will after. Even experienced and hardened detectives, who have solved some pretty tough cases, become believers after they get the help from a psychic. When a psychic goes to the scene of a crime, they can …
Our New Girl Bro
JD’s gone for good. Interestingly enough, Elliot decides to come in and make an appearance. I’ve noticed that the writing for the returning cast is still pretty spot on, but it’s the new characters who kind of drag it down.
Ok, Lucy is pretty amicable and Cole is pretty …
Everybody Loves Raymond
I’m so sorry that Everybody Loves Raymond is no longer in production, but fortunately, we can see it in reruns practically every day of the week. The show never fails to make me laugh.
I think what is unusual about this show is that its humor is not really …
Clifford the Big Red Dog: Good-bye T-Bone
I got to watch one more episode of Clifford the Big Red Dog with my daughter today; “Good-bye T-Bone” and, while I do feel I’ve seen that particular episode before (just not necessarily as part of this show) I do think it was a pretty good episode to watch.
Basically, …
The Andy Griffith Show: Those Gossipin’ Men TV Show
I love The Andy Griffith Show: Those Gossipin’ Men. It’s a story of revenge, lightheartedly delivered, and it’s a hoot to watch. It all begins when Sheriff Andy Taylor teases Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier), Clara Lindsey (Mary Treen), and the delightful Emma Brand (Cheerio Meredith) about all …
American Idol
This is a fantastic show where three judges travel around different cities choosing the best singers to go and perform in Hollywood where contestants are eliminated every show until there is only one left standing: the American Idol. The beginning of each season is always hilarious as you …
The Golden Girls TV Show
My Mother used to love this show so much, as do I.
There are four woman who live together, along with the elderly Mother of one of them.
the ladies. Her name is Sophia.
She is a cranky old soul, always wanting to be independant, beyond her means and very abrasive the …
The Simpsons: Homer the Whopper
One of the shows we ended up watching Sunday night was the Simpson’s season premiere “Homer the Whopper.”
This one wasn’t too bad of an episode even though I do think the newer episodes just don’t seem to live up to the older ones. Homer gets a chance to play …
Snoopy’s Reunion
This is another one of the great animated cartoons starring Charlie Brown, Linus and Snoopy. In this one, we learn how Charlie Brown got Snoopy: he bought him for five dollars from the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm. We also discover that Snoopy has a large family of brothers and …
American Idol with Ellen Degeneres
Ellen Degeneres has taken Paula Abdul’s place on American Idol as a judge for season 9, and the world finally got to see her debut on February 9th. I was really looking forward to seeing her as the new judge, and she definitely didn’t disappoint. She brought …
Law and Order Criminal Intent
“Law and Order: Criminal Intent” can be seen as the sibling to “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit”. This is because while “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” deals with sexually based crimes; “Law and Order: Criminal Intent” mostly deals with other crimes such as murder. I don’t …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 13: Parting of the Ways
The season, as well as Eccleston’s run as the Doctor, wraps up as the Dalek’s plan to wipe out all life on Earth. As one Dalek was a formidable threat, thousands of them are a bit beyond problematic, even Rose points this out early on.
Just as one Dalek …
Friends series
When we have dinner, we like to watch some of the old sitcoms. One of our favorits is the Friends series.
We have always likes the interaction of the characters, Joey the soap star who is dim witted but kind hearted. Ross the scientist, from a well …
Chasing Mummies: Robbed TV Show
Chasing Mummies: Robbed go right to the action with the famous archaeologist, Zahi Hawass, making a discovery of a previously unearthed sarcophagus with a mummy inside of it. I do enjoy the history that I learn from this show, and actually, I like watching to see how the …
Laramie: No Place to Run TV show
My favorite show of all time is the western, Laramie, which ran from 1959 to 1962. Robert Fuller and John Smith starred as Jess Harper and Slim Sherman, two very opposite types who become best friends and partners. In this fourth season entry, No Place to Run, …
Deep South Paranormal (tv series)
I’m always getting teased because of my like for these paranormal reality television shows that not many people I know seem to watch, especially when it’s so obvious that quite a number of them are staged. However, I still tend to watch a select few of them since I’ve …
M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky
B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) becomes one of the masses instead of a lone devoted soul when he cheats on his wife in M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky from season five. While the resolution is okay, I always thought it was a shame that they had this story. It’s just …
Summer Heights High Series 1 Episode 1
The humour in Summer Heights High is right up my street but before I actually checked it out, I thought it was just another shallow teen soap opera. This is a great comedy show actually in the style of a documentary, featuring three characters at the Australian school …
Star Trek: Spock’s Brain TV Show
Star Trek’s third and final season begins with a dramatic outing called Spock’s Brain, which begins with a beautiful young woman popping up on the Enterprise bridge, knocking everyone out, and walking away with Spock’s brain, hence the title of the episode.
I love the scene on the bridge when …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: 9-16-10 TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn from the 16th of September, 2010 focused on Breakfast Favorites, using the perspective of how easy it can be to make homemade products. The thing is, it wasn’t easy for me and this was probably my least favorite episode of the opening …
Rated K by Korina Sanchez
I like so much to watch Korina Sanchez Rated K. I am not only entertained by the stories she feature in the program but also I am most of the time inspired by the stories of people she feature. Just like for instance she featured a story of how …
Whoopi: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes TV Show
Whoopi: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes has Mavis Rae (Whoopi Goldberg) eager to get some hockey tickets for a couple of New York Rangers games. One of the early funny bits that I had to laugh at was how her handyman, Nasim (Omid Djalili), tried to get her …
