TV Reviews
From the Earth to the Moon
From the Earth to the Moon was a marvelous and dramatic account of the United States quest to reach the moon. The early part of the quest is focused more on the race with the Russians over who would conquer the moon first, while the second part is …
Eureka, tv show
It is summer here and during the summer most shows do not air new episodes. From an embarrassment of riches just a few weeks ago when on Tuesday night there was The Flash, The Shield, two episodes of New Girl and different other shows it came down to nothing. …
Family Guy: Barely Legal
OK, I like some Family Guy episodes and don’t like others as much. That’s going to be true about most series. But, some episodes of this show like “Barely Legal” are just a bit disturbing.
If you haven’t seen this episode, it goes a bit like this. Meg convinces Brian …
The Virginian: The Devil’s Children
When I first watched The Virginian: The Devil’s Children, I kept thinking this wicked stepchild, aka: the villainous of the piece, looked darn familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out. Then I looked up the credits and realized it was Joan Freeman, guest starring as a bratty girl …
Louis and the Brothel
Louis Theroux travels to Nevada and enjoys a stay at The Wild Horse Ranch, a legal brothel. As he spends several weeks interviewing those who work and frequent the establishment, he also chips in and manages the phones, working alongside his subjects.
While his more recent efforts have been …
Battlestar Galactica: Saga of a Star World
When I was growing up, my family never missed an episode of the television series Battlestar Galactica (the original series not the remake). But, because I would have been about three when it first aired, I had no memory of the first episode “Saga of a Star World” so …
America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 Episode 8
The girls had a lesson with Paulina Porizkova on how to think on their feet when they are interviewed. Models are always on the limelight about something so this is one thing that the competition should taught the girls. The next day, the girls got a visit from Courtney …
Scrubs TV Episode: My Day at the Races
As I mentioned before, I started watching re-runs of the show Scrubs on TV whenever I get a chance (and there’s nothing better on). One of the episodes I ended up watching Sunday was entitled “My Day at the Races.”
This one was actually pretty good. JD is turning 30 …
Celebrity Apprentice - 3/22/09
I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again. What the heck is Dennis Rodman doing on Celebrity Apprentice? If I didn’t know before that the man is a self-absorbed idiot, I do now. His confrontation with Clint Black was childish; except it was also dangerous. …
Rock of Love Bus (VH1)
I never saw any of these Rock of Love with Bret Michaels episodes from the previous seasons. But it is my understanding that this will be the final Rock of Love. My question is, why wouldn’t it be the last one? If he’s planning on …
The Flintstones: Hot Lips Hannigan
As I mentioned before, I rented the first season of the Flintstones so my daughter could watch the cartoon for the first time. I loved the first episode of this. I wasn’t as big of a fan of the second episode; Hot Lips Hannigan.
For one, I’m not sure why …
The United States of Tara Season 2 Episode 10 “Open House.”
I highly recommend this show to everyone. This is a great show with clever dialog and wonderful acting. The main character, Tara, played by Toni Collette is a woman who suffers from multiple personality disorder. She has a handful of personalities we get to see …
Lost Worlds TV Show
Lost Worlds is a tv series that appears on The History Channel. They take worlds that have been lost throughout the ages and using cool technology they recreate the world as it would have been seen back in the day. It is a great show. You get to learn …
M*A*S*H: Dear Dad
Alan Alda’s Hawkeye Pierce does his first complete letter home to his father in M*A*S*H: Dear Dad. These shows are always fun ones, giving slices of life more than just one central theme that takes up the full half hour. In this case, this is the holiday …
Gilligan’s Island - You’ve Been Disconnected TV Show
If you like talking on the telephone, you will just love this episode. Even if you don’t, the absolute hilarious scenes compensate for the main telephone theme. I really enjoyed watching the Professor come up with outrageous inventions and ideas to get them all rescued.
In the beginning there …
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 1- Pilot
This is the beginning of the series, and the whole story is being introduced in a very clever way. It really made the story look appealing. But there was this feeling that it was going to be some clever spy-like story where the hero outsmarts everyone and manages to …
Dexter
I discovered Dexter the television series when I was in the United States for training when my officemate cajoled me into watching it with her. I was a bit curious when she told me that this was about a serial killer of serial killers. And so I sat down …
Green Acres - The Ex-Secretary
“The Ex-Secretary” is the final episode of “Green Acres”. At the time, the writers were not aware that the network had plans to cancel not only this show, but several other popular shows to make way for television shows that were more
attractive to advertisers and a younger demographic. Had …
The X-Files F. Emasculata Episode
I think that this is one of the grossest episodes of the popular 1990s television show “The X-Files” which I have watched. In fact, there is a huge possibility that this might actually be the nastiest I have ever watched as well, and the strangest thing about it too …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Man Who Murdered Himself
Sadly, Alias Smith and Jones: The Man Who Murdered Himself is another show were Hannibal Heyes goes one way and Kid Curry another. It’s all to earn some money, but aside from the opening and the ending, the two partners are on separate track in this first season …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney on the Rebound TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney on the Rebound, a second season episode of this hit comedy series starring Griffith as Sheriff Andy Taylor, focuses on Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) and his attraction to Melissa Stevens, a new gal in town played by Beverly Tyler.
Barney’s steady, Thelma Lou (Betty …
Sunday Supplement - Sky Sports 1 - Paper T.V Show
When I get the opportunity on a Sunday morning I love to watch a television show called Sunday Supplement. Shown usually on Sky Sports 1 at about 9:30am, it brings together 3 to 4 sports journalist from various tabloids or broadsheets to discuss the previous days results and any …
Family Guy TV Episode: Family Goy
As I mentioned in another review, I had an opportunity to watch some re-runs on TV last night. The first re-run was for the Simpsons but the other one was a re-run of Family Guy that I had not seen before yesterday called Family Goy.
This episode meant well, but …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Shootout at Hogtooth TV Show
From November 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Shootout at Hogtooth was the 9th episode of the sixth and final season of this TV western which starred Richard Boone as Paladin, a gunfighter most of the time but who lives a sophisticated and somewhat playboy like lifestyle in San …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 2: The Shakespeare Code
The Doctor takes Martha back to 1599. It isn’t long before they run into one William Shakespeare. Martha is, not surprisingly, blown away by the whole thing. The situation gets more surreal when they come across a coven of witches, who plan to use the bard …
Colin and Justin’s Home Heist
Television is saturated with home improvement and renovation shows so the only way not to become bored is to watch the ones that have some unique aspects to them or to be hosted by designers who have extraordinary skills and personalities. Justin and Colin certainly fit the description of …
House: Family
What a great House episode. It’s just too bad more recent episodes have stunk. The episode “Family” is apparently the one that starts setting things in motion for the show in terms of House getting a whole new staff. But, the case itself is definitely interesting too.
You have two …
CHiPs: Hustle
CHiPs: Hustle is a hoot of an episode when the legendary Broderick Crawford appeared as himself. It was a big deal at the time, too. For this freshman series, it’s a seal of approval in a way. Ponch is star struck, which is no surprise, while …
George Lopez, Carmin Runs Away
I watched this episode of George Lopez. There is this huge loser that works at the same place where George works, and he is interested in Carmin, George’s daughter. In front of George, Loser expresses interest in Carmin, and she shoots him down, saying she has a …
Dr.Oz Show
Dr.Oz is a new talk show that started fall season of 2009. It airs on NBC in the afternoons. I have watched the show from the first episode which started 4 days ago. I am already bored with it. The stage of the show is bland and the host …
Venture Bros TV show
Venture Bros is quite possibly the best Adult Swim original show. It follows the adventures of a super-scientist, his two teenage sons and his bodyguard as they face assorted villains, including Dr. Venture’s nemesis, the Monarch. But while this may sound like a standard action-adventure series, it’s far …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Handler TV Show
From October 1992, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Handler was a bit on the weird side, though not so odd that it turned me off. Even as I state this remark, though, I know that it’s not the kind of show that normally appeals to me. I’m …
Cosby Show
If you are looking for a great way to pass a few hours, either go to your local library or find some reruns of the cosby show. This is one of the best television shows to ever be aired on television, it had humor, romance, kids, rich people and …
VH1’s I Want to Work for Diddy
VH1 has a new reality show called ‘I Want to Work for Diddy’. Here we go again, everybody wants to have a reality show, and this one isn’t even Diddy’s first reality program, I guess her can’t get enough of showing off to the world who he is 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, …
Futurama TV Episode: The Duh-Vinci Code
I rarely get a chance to watch the newer episodes of the show Futurama. But, the kids were in bed last night and my wife was busy on the computer so I ended up finally watching a couple of them; including the one entitled The Duh-Vinci Code.
This episode was …
Married with Children TV Episode: Peggy Sue got Work
Synopsis: When Marcy finds out Peggy wants a VCR and has to beg Al for it because he’s the one that makes the money, she ends up forcing her neighbor to get a job so she can pay for it herself.
What I liked about this episode: This actually reminds …
Project Runway Finale, Part 1
Well, just one more episode of Project Runway left since they got through part 1 of the two part season finale.
This episode wasn’t much of a surprise really. Most of the stuff that happened was already revealed in previews; such as the part where Carol Hannah catches a stomach …
That Girl: Ann vs. Secretary
That Girl: Ann vs. Secretary is a great show. Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) has yet another secretary. Apparently, Newsview has a secretarial problem because they just can’t keep the same gals hired. This professional helper, though, has a mission that doesn’t just include typing and dictation. …
Here Come the Brides: One Good Lie Deserves Another
Here Come the Brides: One Good Lie Deserves Another revolves around an old flame of Lottie Hatfield’s who wanders into Seattle and creates havoc under the guise of wanting Lottie back. The show is good and allows two excellent actors to shine and standout more than they usually …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Something Blue
Ok, I’m actually a bit confused about what was happening in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Something Blue.”
I get Willow is trying to cast a spell to make her get over the pain of Oz cheating on her then leaving town. And, because she has a bit too …
The New Adventures of Old Christine Season 1
The first season of the New Adventures of Old Christine was a really funny one though not as funny as I remembered. It took me quite awhile to buy the season on DVD because it’s fairly expensive for 15 episodes that are less than 30 minutes long. When I …
Undercover Boss - Hooters
Undercover Boss - Hooters featured CEO Cody Brooks going undercover at various Hooters locations across the country to try and get a handle on where things have gone wrong for his company. From the reaction of some of his executive staff, he needs to have some of them …
The 82nd Academy Awards: In Memoriam segment - 2010
I was very disappointed in the The 82nd Academy Awards, especially in the In Memoriam segment. I’m condemning this portion of the broadcast as it outraged me more than anything else on the program. The memoriam section, those few minutes when the Academy acknowledges those who …
Highway Patrol: The Judge TV Show
From May 1958, Highway Patrol: The Judge had some good elements to it, along with some really dumb bits. In short, we have an escapee from prison named Baker (Robert Courtleigh), who wants nothing more than revenge against the judge who put him behind bars.
Paul Cavanagh guest stars …
Gilligan’s Island - Sound of Quacking TV show
After watching this episode, I found it to be rather depressing and sad. I did not enjoy watching most of this show except for the dream sequence near the end which was kind of funny. But still the suffering the castaways have endured and the uncertainty of their fate …
That Girl: That Shoplifter
You just have to feel for Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) in That Girl: That Shoplifter. She’s so innocent and naive sometimes. Of course, back in 1971 when this ABC hit comedy aired, things weren’t as jaded as they are today.
While working as a specials announcer at a …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 3
As the world slowly revolves on an dying axis, we can see the ultimate result of our actions take place and seed in the minds of our children who will become the root of tomorrow. As we pray our lonesome prayers to God above, we are forced to wonder …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Penelope TV Show
From December 1962, the 13th show of the sixth season, Have Gun - Will Travel: Penelope was an average episode in my opinion.
This particular program opened in San Francisco with Col. Oliver Lacey as played by Lawrence Dobkin studying Paladin who is engaged in a solo game of chess.
Lacey …
America’s Next Top Model
For me America’s Next Top Model is very entertaining and informative to watch. Aspiring models can learn a lot from the show, everything a person needs to know to get hired for a modelling job is being thought in the show. I think that’s the best modelling show so …
