Street Hawk: A Second Self
By accident, I ended up watching Street Hawk somewhat in reverse. Thus, I have actually just watched all of the other episodes and now definitely declare that A Second Self is absolutely the best of the 13. It had top notch acting, a great story (though I’ll …
The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest (tv series)
When I was much younger and still a child, I would look forward to watching certain cartoons after coming from school in the afternoons. One of them in particular was the television series “The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest”, which I later learned was actually a spin-off of another …
Star Trek the Next Generation TV Episode: Elementary, Dear Data
I had seen the Family Guy episode that was on about a dozen times so I ended up flipping channels yesterday afternoon looking for something else to watch. After a minute or so, I came across one of my favorite Star Trek the Next Generation episodes; Elementary, Dear Data.

Soul Train television show (1970s version)
One of my parents’ favourite television shows in the seventies, was a show called “Soul Train”. I heard them talking about the show from time to time over the years, but never actually got a chance to view it for myself until one Saturday years ago, when a certain …

Dancing with the Stars: S11, Wk 1 Results TV Show
Dancing with the Stars first results show began with something a bit different. We saw folks moving around backstage, some of which looked legit; still had to be staged and set up, but I liked it. I love behind the scenes things so that worked. Of …

Spongebob: Something Smells
I stayed home sick today and have spent all afternoon watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter. I got to see one episode I haven’t seen before “Something Smells” and will admit it was kind of cute; atleast compared to some of the other episodes of this show I’ve seen.
Spongebob …
Who’s Your Pappa - Real Housewives of Atlanta

TV SHOW MONK

That Girl: Beware of Actors Bearing Gifts
This story is full of intentional confusion, and it’s just a hoot to see Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) try to figure it all out.
The guest star is Bruce Hyde, and I just can’t look at Hyde without laughing and thinking about his portrayal as Kevin Riley on Star Trek. …
The Rachel Ray show
I hate the Rachel ray show. It feels like I am watching reruns of the Oprah or the Tyra Bank shows only the host is a chef who was unknown to the public just a few years ago! I think that everybody should stick to what he does best …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Initiation
The episode “Initiation” was a great way to start Season One of Justice League Unlimited, now on DVD.

Sony BRAVIA KLV-S32A10 32 in.
The Sony BRAVIA 32 inch LCD TV is a flat panel wide screen LCD HDTV. It is a thin, silver unit with a small base that swivels, oh yea and it is as cool as it sounds. The resolution of the TV is 1024×768 which is pretty basic, but …
Highway Patrol: Machine-Napping TV Show
Machine-Napping is the second episode of Highway Patrol, which starred Broderick Crawford as the commanding Chief Dan Mathews. There’s no doubt this man is the leader of the California Highway Patrol.
At issue, and it seems odd for it to be a 1955 show, but it is, is a …
Adam-12: The Parole Violator
One of the good things about Adam-12: The Parole Violator is that we get an outside look at Pete Malloy’s personal life and see how he contributes to the community in his off hours. In this case, he’s a basketball coach. I like how he approaches and …
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Television Show
This is the best show in late night, Period. For many years, up until this recent year, I have not watched a great amount of late night television. Reason being is because its all the same old stuff. Opening monologue, some sort of regular game or bit they run, …
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Shadow of Malevolence (episode 3)
This is the middle episode of the trilogy about the Separatist spaceship Malevolence. Out of the three episodes, I thought this one was the weakest and that’s why I rated it a “7″. It shows what a monster General Grievous really is when he decides to attack a Jedi …

Tales of the Gold Monkey: Naka Jima Kill
Just when I thought Sarah Stickney White (Caitlin O’Heaney) was out for the count and relegated to nothingness, she finally gets some action in Tales of the Gold Monkey: Naka Jima Kill. Trust me, it’s been several episodes since she did more than sing, which she doesn’t do …

The Twilight Zone: Twenty Two TV Show

Tom Thumb cartoon
U.B. Iwerks was very well respected as an animator of cartoons, and this story of Tom Thumb is a good example of his work. It’s from the golden days of television and is quite good.
It begins with the birth of Tom Thumb, or rather, his delivery by the …
That 70s Show: Baby Fever
We were waiting for the Simpsons to come on last night and ended up watching a re-run of That 70s Show; the one entitled Baby Fever.

Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Inn of the Dead
I don’t know why but I just can’t seem to find an episode of Ghost Hunters I like any more.
Last night’s episode, Inn of the Dead, should have been good. They visited an inn that not only had two suicides, they had two guests go insane too.
Of course, I …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Angel
From the first episode, I had a feeling the reoccurring character Angel was a vampire and the 7th episode “Angel” finally reveals what is somewhat obvious.
I do like the fact you have a vampire who is cursed with a soul and remorse for his killing and is trying to …
The X-Files Fire Episode
The first thought which came to my mind when I watched this episode of “The X-Files” was “Weird “. I thought it was a lot stranger for some reason than many of the episodes of the popular 1990s American television series which I had watched as this episode involved …

Nighty Night - Series 2
Julia Davis might have outraged, insulted and appalled with the first series of her critically acclaimed comedy “Nighty Night”, but with its second outing, she pushes the boundaries even further. Although, not always for the better.
The second series picks up sometime after the close of the first. Jill …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Blind Circle TV Show

Super Mario World - A Little Learning
Super Mario World - “A Little Learning” is not one of my favorite episodes of the series. That is actually an understatement as I really do not care for this episode. The plot simply did not quite interest me. In this episode, Princess Toadstool opens a school and the …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Beacon TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 27th episode of its third season was called Underwater Beacon, so named mostly from a piece of equipment deep sea diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) was checking out for the United States Coast Guard.

Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Pennsylvania Asylum
Synopsis: The TAPS team unveils their new van as they travel to Pennsylvania to investigate Penhurst Asylum (shut down in 1986 for abusing the inmates).

M*A*S*H: Dreams
M*A*S*H: Dreams is an intensely offbeat show which is directed by series star Alan Alda. The directing is great, with neat segue ways from dream to reality, and vice versa.
