The X-Files Jersey Devil Episode
I thought this was an episode which peaked my interest a bit. I didn’t think that it was superb, and neither did I think that it was awful. However, I found that the introduction and the plot of it especially interested me. “The Jersey Devil” was the fifth episode …
Simple Life season 1
The Simple Life season 1 starring Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie is a hilarious diversion for day to day life. The fact that I love this series is beyond me. I watched it by mistake one day and laughed for about ten minutes. Then I was hooked. I immediately …
Supersize Me
Supersize Me is an interesting documentary if you can catch it on TV. It brings a lot of things to light about how McDonald’s made getting junk food easy and helped create a nation of obese people. Not sayinng everyone’s obese, but you know what I mean.
This guy ate …
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened TV Show
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened is a flight of fancy in a sense in that it’s hard to tell what the reality is. Even at the end of the show, I’m not sure we know the reality. Was it that people and property …
CHiPs: High Flyer
Sadly, the powers that be behind television series often don’t pay attention to their own show’s history. Continuity often has gone into the toilet, so to speak. In CHiPs: High Flyer, we get another example of just how bad it can get when no one cares to …
Real Hosewives of Atlanta - Reunion
Bravo had done it again. Oh yes they have. Most Reality shows i’ve seen end with my favourite part of the show…..the Reunion…oh yes oh yes…the Reunion. Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta is no less. That show just never disappoints. Would you believe, with all the drama….from Kim having …
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 …
Dora the Explorer
This children’s television series is a godsend to parents everywhere. It is a time when you can have a hot drink in peace because the children will be glued to the television. At the same time it is very educational so you do not have …
Dancing with the Stars - Elimination 3/24/09
The elimination show for Dancing with the Stars began with a recap of the night before. All the expected highlights were there, leaving me equally frustrated with the judges’ votes as I had been on Monday.
The stun of the night came with less than ten minutes into the …
Family Guy: Love, Blactually
OK, I know I shouldn’t be letting my daughter watch Family Guy at all. But, a lot of the episodes really aren’t any worse than what she would see on a show like Spongebob. However, the episode that was on yesterday afternoon, Love, Blactually, is one I definitely regret …
CHiPs: Undertow
The second episode of CHiPs about California Highway Patrol officers is called Undertow. One of the first things that happens is that Ponch is unknowingly affected by breathing in a bunch of nitrous oxide that leaks after a traffic accident. This makes him see double and become …
That 70s Show: Who Needs You
I didn’t get a chance to watch the first few minutes of the That 70s Show episode “Who Needs You.” But, from what I saw of it, I have to admit it was a pretty funny episode that I would definitely watch again.
There were three major stories going on …
Doctor Who season 1 Episode 1 Rose
I have heard quite a lot about this show so I decided to watch it when they finally started showing it on our public television. I knew it was a science fiction show but III didn’t know what to expect actually.
This episode is located in London, where a rather …
Luke’s Parental Advisory (VH1 network TV show)
Who in the world gave Luther Campbell permission to have his own reality show? I will admit that I have never liked Luke’s music, even when it was popular. And not just because all he talked about were hoes and shaking booties. …
Highway Patrol: Statute of Limitations TV Show
From February 1957, Highway Patrol: Statute of Limitations, starring Broderick Crawford as California Highway Patrol Chief Dan Mathews, is just a so so episode that did very little to capture my interest for more than a few seconds at a time.
The story begins by talking about speeding, which is …
Mork & Mindy: A Mommy for Morky
There isn’t much on TV today so I found myself watching re-runs of Mork & Mindy most of the morning. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the show but the episode “A Mommy for Morky,” reminded me of everything that I missed about the series.
I don’t remember Mindy …
Larry King Live
Even before I got television in the early 2000s I would hear references to a show called “Larry King Live”. However, since I did not have cable at the time and thus did not know what it was about I suspected that it would be sort of like a …
ASPCA (television commercial)
I am such a dog lover. So when I saw this ASPCA commercial, I was immediately struck in the heart. The music however, is what I think people will notice right away. The song comes on delicate piano and the sweetest female voice …
American Idol Show
I first loved watching this show because first, the judges are simply crazy, funny, and amazing! Second, there are really lots of talented contestants out there, plus we all get to watch crazy bonuses in which other “contestants” really think they are Mariah Carey or Celine Dion, maybe in …
Trigun Episode 26 (Anime)
Trigun Episode 26 brings an end to the series; Vash finally confronts his brother Knives in a final showdown to put an end to his plan to wipe out all the humans on Gunsmoke.
This episode was awesome, there’s no other way to describe it. The gunfight lasts for …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney’s Sidecar TV Show
Don Knotts once again gets to have some great moments in this fourth season episode of the comedy classic, The Andy Griffith Show. In Barney’s Sidecar, which was shown on TV initially in January 1964, Knotts’ Deputy Barney Fife character gets all riled up about the speeders on …
The Circuit TV Movie
The Circuit was a pretty dreadful movie that had its world premier on ABC Family. That alone should have told me that it wasn’t going to be very good, but considering that it revolved around auto racing I decided to sit back and watch it. As an auto racing …
Friends season 1 episode 2
This episode is another great addition to the Friends season 1.In this episode I laughed so much, because so much funny thing is happening on this episode. This episode was named as “The Sonogram at the End”. The episode started showing all of the characters are sitting in …
What Not To Wear (TLC network program)
I have absolutely fallen in love with this program. Makeover shows have always held my interest. But for some reason this one is such a success in my heart. Perhaps it is because Stacy London and Clinton Kelly (the hosts) are so funny. …
Air TV (Anime)
Yukito Kunisaki is a traveler who is looking for the “girl in the air” of a family legend. His journey takes him to a small coastal town where he meets Misuzu, a girl eager to be his friend. A history of thousands of years begins to unfold after her …
Penny Dreadful (2014 supernatural horror television series)
I’m someone who has always been fascinated with supernatural movies and series, so as soon as I heard about the Showtime original series Penny Dreadful, I could tell that it would be something I might be interested in watching. The clips that I’d seen of it only made me even …
The Singing Office
The Singing Office is a fun little show on The Learning Channel. The hosts are Joey Fatone and Mel B, two performers who owe a lot of their current success to Dancing with the Stars. Joey’s having a blast with his return to popularity, while the Spice …
Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror XXI
I have always loved the Treehouse of horror episodes of Simpsons, even if some of them are a little beyond my liking. There are always three stories to watch and hope that one of them is funny. The whole beginning is with Professor Frink warning people about the episode, …
That Girl: Kimono My House
While it’s cute enough, I’ve never really liked That Girl: Kimono My House all that much. I can’t really point out any special reason why it’s not a favorite, but that’s just the way I feel about it.
Apparently, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to Don Hollinger’s (Ted Bessell) …
Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Man
Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Man is a fairly entertaining entry for the fifth season of this science fiction series.
John DeLancie returns again as Colonel Frank Simmons, a man on his own agenda. DeLancie is a wonderful actor, who can be delightfully evil and wonderfully playful. He’s very …
Star Trek: Day of the Dove TV Show
I’m not a huge fan of Star Trek: Day of the Dove, which essentially pits two crews against each other, and all because of some third entity. Essentially, it’s the Enterprise crew verses the survivors of a Klingon one. Here are some of my thoughts on this …
The Tyra Banks Show
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 …
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties is not really my style. It opens with Sam and Vala returning from a shopping trip, the two all decked out and drawing attention as they walk down the corridors of the SGC. I guess they wanted to show these two are friends. …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Zero Hour TV Show
This futuristic story that aired originally in January 1992 was called The Ray Bradbury Theater: Zero Hour. Overall, I thought it was a story that began with a lot of potential but then took a wrong turn and ended up a bit sour, at least for me. …
I Eat 33,000 Calories a Day
I was really disgusted when I watched this program. I am not trying to talk badly about fat people. But these shown in this TLC show have all admitted to having food addictions. What I wonder is why no one has addressed the food addiction …
Stargate SG-1: Legacy
Stargate SG-1: Legacy was a standout show for actor Michael Shanks, who played Daniel Jackson. In it, Shanks portrayed what looked like Daniel losing his mind. He was eventually taken from Stargate Command to a padded room at the Academy hospital. It was amazing to watch …
Late Night News (LNN) Satrical Comedy Show
The characteristics and particularly the flaws and mistakes of politicians make for some great comedy material and I particularly love any comedian or comedy show that makes use of politics as material.
Late Night News, with leading local stand up comedian Loyiso Gola, is one such show and I love …
Family Guy TV Show
This is a show I thought I would never like. For a long time I wouldn’t even give it a chance. I don’t even think I realized that it wasn’t a cartoon for kids. I honestly thought that it was so I figured I wouldn’t like it. But since …
TV Show: Stolen Voices Buried Secrets
Television Show Description: The story of real-life murder victims and their investigations is told using both witness testimony and narration from the “victim.”
What I liked about this show: I have always been a huge mystery fan and I love the fact this show brings real-life drama to life by …
The X-Files Eve Episode
I watched the X-Files episode “Eve” at about three separate times. However I was unable to watch the episode fully until very recently. I wouldn’t call it my favorite episode of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files” but I think it was an interesting episode nonetheless because …
Stargate SG-1: Grace
Stargate SG-1: Grace could have been the show that changed Sam Carter for the better, bringing her out of her school girl crush days and returning her to the strength and glory she had in the vintage years. Instead, it’s just a show that was pivotal for a …
Doctor Who 2009 Easter Special: Planet of the Dead
Rather than go for another full season, Tennant and crew decided to wrap up his run with a series of specials. There was, of course, the Christmas special, which has become something of a Doctor Who tradition, but they followed it up with an Easter special. As …
Comic Book Superheroes Unasked Documentary
Comic Superheroes Unmasked is a documentary on the History Channel about this history of comic books and superheroes. It features interviews with many influential comic book authors and illustrators.
It was a very interesting documentary. Since I enjoy reading comic books, I found the documentary to be …
Supernatural Season 6, Episode 1
A show that I have come to enjoy ever since its first season started back in 2005 is the CW series of Supernatural. The series revolved around two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, whose family have been hunters for years. When I say hunters, I don’t mean the kind …
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 …
The Spongebob Christmas Special
OK, now Christmas season must be here. My daughter and I just finished watching the Spongebob Christmas Special for about the 50th time since it first came out in 2000.
The episode is actually quite funny so it is definitely worth watching. Bikini Bottom learns about Christmas for the very …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 4: Conduit
After a one episode respite, the show returns to its UFO hunting roots and presents another case that involves the possible involvement of extra-terrestrial life. Like the pilot, this involves abduction, but even so, the story plays out far differently than the pilot, preventing the potential rehash this …
Las Vegas
I was home at lunch today and my wife, who was waiting for another show to come on, had the television show Las Vegas on TV. I have never seen this show before so I took a few minutes to watch it and see if it would be something …
