M*A*S*H: House Arrest
The wonderful character actress Mary Wickes guest stars in M*A*S*H: House Arrest from season three. Wickes is just amazing. She has a long history of comedic performances that are delightful, from The Trouble with Angels to Sister Act. I always know when I see her name …
Lost (TV series)
This is show is so great. I only caught it during the second season but instantly fell in love with it. The characters are very well developed and you learn something new about them every episode as well as clues to their past and how it relates …

The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can is definitely one of my favorite episodes of this series. I consider it to be one of the classics, in the top 15 of all the shows. What I really love about this show is the spirit, the message of …
Murder by the Book
Have you ever wondered where mystery writers get the inspiration for their stories? In many cases, it comes from a personal experience and in this Court TV series some of the most famous of the modern day mystery writers tell about their personal experiences with crime that gave …
Bad Girls Club (Oxygen network show)
I tuned in “by accident” and started watching this show. I must say that it really is a guilty pleasure. I was happy to see that the women were somewhat “real” instead of a host of model looking women who we’re supposed to believe have …
Hooked: Monster Fish SSN 1 Episode 1
Hooked: Monster Fish is a National Geographic fishing show that manages to be fairly interesting. In the first episode of Season One, the show focuses on those who wrangle and catch huge fish, both freshwater and saltwater. I was never a fan of fishing- I find it boring, …
Orange is The New Black, TV Show
Netflix is the best thing that could’ve happen to TV shows… and to us! Its plan of just giving us all the episodes at once is genius and with these project I think they’ve gotten even more popularity. This time, the creator of Weeds was the one chosen to bring …
Loving the CSI shows
Watching the TV all the time, there could be hundreds of shows combined all channels and TV networks which makes it really hard to be able to decide for which one is actually the best of them all. Afterall, we all have different tastes; as for me, I would …
Mickey mouse club house
The Mickey Mouse clubhouse is the name of the programme telecasted in the Disney channel. Actually this programme is telecasted at the time of around 2:30 to 3:30 pm. This is the favourite programme for my kids. While having the dinner they watch this programme. …
Discovery Health (tv station)
Lately, I have been highly intrigued by the Discovery Health Channel on television. Not only does the channel obtain a nice mix of show topics to improve your overall health, but it also aires a great deal of shows about medical miracles and various illnesses and traumatic health …
True Blood Episode 1: Strange Love
The first scene of the episode was great as far as letting the watcher know what the premise of the story is and gives a great pipe in for the turning plot. Two curious kids, a gas station, and monsters are a great way to start a scary …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 19: The Guru
Aang begins his training, playing Luke Skywalker to the guru’s Yoda. This show is known for incorporating Eastern mythology and that really comes into play here as Aang masters each of his chakras. I know, the show’s short on time, but it seems like he masters them …
Mr. Monk Buys a House
I still like the television series Monk. But, either I’m becoming a better detective myself or the show is becoming extremely predictable with easy-to-solve cases.
Mr. Monk Buys a House, the newest episode, is a good example of this.
From the first minutes of the show, we know who is killed …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Knight TV Show
From June 1962, the fifth season of this successful western series, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Knight was a somewhat odd show to me in the way that it played out. It opens with some fun in San Francisco, at the Hotel Carlton where Paladin (Richard Boone) …
Star Trek: All Our Yesterdays TV Show
Didn’t Spock just have a romance a couple of weeks back? Well, here we go again with Star Trek: All Our Yesterdays from March 1969. I actually like the majority of this show and with the way that the plot goes, the romance isn’t ridiculous. The …
IRT Deadliest Roads: Freefall Freeway TV Show
With the success of Ice Road Truckers, it makes sense that there would be a spin off of some sort sooner or later. Apparently, now is the time. Debuting right after the season finale of Ice Road Truckers, IRT Deadliest Roads: Freefall Freeway includes my favorite, Lisa …
Bones TV Episode: The Man in the SUV
As I mentioned in an earlier review, I recently started re-watching the first season of the show Bones; at least the episodes I haven’t seen before.

This is one of the first …

I am …
Project Runway (Even Designers Get the Blues)
This episode of Project Runway was definitely worth watching this week. Rather than getting to work with their choice of fabric, the designers were forced to use denim; more specifically, Levi denim taken from blue jeans and other denim outfits.
Of course, you have the usual trash talking throughout the …
CSI Season 6 Episode 2 Room Service
I didn’t like this episode at all because of the way that it was filmed and edited. The writing was actually not bad. In this episode the team investigates two murders. One of a hot male celebrity and another of a poor Thai immigrant. From the very beginning of …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Blizzard Makers TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Blizzard Makers is the 13th episode from year one of this outstanding program. It opens with a new style, using newspapers to communicate what’s been happening, which is a lot of unusual weather, like blizzards in Florida. I do …
MacGyver: Trumbo’s World
This episode opens up with a shirtless Richard Dean Anderson. Woman everywhere swooned. He immediately gets a hug from the woman he’s rescuing. That’s standard fare for this TV series.
The opening gambit was fun, with MacGyver and the woman geologist shooting the rapids, but it was …

In The Fugitive: World’s End, Suzanne Pleschette stars as Ellie, a woman who believes in Richard Kimball’s innocence, as did her father. Her father, who had been Kimball’s lawyer, had hired a detective and Ellie places an ad in papers across America in an attempt to contact Kimball. …

Stargate SG-1: Morpheus

Centennial: For as Long as the Waters Flow
The worst thing about Centennial: For as Long as the Waters Flow is that we’ve lost the wonderful character of Elly Zendt, played so nicely by Stephanie Zimbalist. In reality, she was only around for one episode and for such a great character, it was a shame to …
A Man Called Hawk: The Master’s Mirror
From 1989, A Man Called Hawk starring Avery Brooks debuted on ABC. Brooks was recreating his colorful character of Hawk from the hit series, Spenser for Hire. For some reason, Hawk has returned to his Washington D.C. and that’s where the action takes place.

Pretty Little Liars TV Show
I first got hooked on Pretty Little Liars when my cousin handed me the box set of Season 1. Since that day I have been unable to turn it off. The show is amazing! Every episode is packed with action.
The show is about four …
Banana Split sitcom
What separates Banana Split from other sitcoms in the Philippines is the number of girls (and how fresh they are) in the casting. Actually, Banana Split boasts of an all-girls cast which would keep your eyes glued to the television.
Girls seem to be a staple in every sitcom. …
Sea Hunt: Storm Drain TV Show
Sea Hunt: Storm Drain, the 29th program to air in this underwater adventure series’ third season on television, included an appearance by young Beau Bridges in the role of Warren Tucker. Beau, who grew up to be a terrific actor himself, was the young son of series star …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Chase
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Chase is an episode from the sixth season that is really very fast-paced. It does not slow down for much, as the title suggests! In this episode, Picard’s archaeology professor comes on board and invites him along on an exciting journey, but …
Stargate SG-1: Endgame
Stargate SG-1: Endgame has some fun moments in it for me and makes for a nice season eight episode of this long-running TV series. Among my favorite scenes:
–the opening, where the two technicians working the graveyard shift talk; it’s just so normal and weird at the same time; …

Dancing with the Stars - elimination 3/31/09
This was another good week on Dancing with the Stars. It’s a fairly competent cast and for the first time there isn’t just one runaway couple, but a few teams that are truly in contention to win the big ball.
This week the stars danced either the Argentine Tango …
South Park
South Park is a fun TV show, a very button-pushing parody comedy show, with lots of profanity and stuff designed to shock. I like it, though I can see why many don’t. It’s original, and very intelligent. The humour is a bit cruel for its targets, yet South Park …
The Twilight Zone: Steel TV Show
What to say about The Twilight Zone: Steel. This episode aired on October 4, 1963 is one of the half-hour shows from the final season of this superb science fiction series. The problem for me is that the show in its last two years had a lot …

Family Guy: Not All Dogs Go to Heaven

You have the main plot, where Meg …

TMZ
TMZ is a show that tells you updated news about celebrities and famous people. The people that talk on it just stand around and show you videos and pictures and talk about the updated news with celebrities or famous people. It’s an alright show overall, I think that they …
Make Me a Supermodel (Bravo)
Modeling shows are fascinating to me because I like to see regular people showcasing their ability to become really fashionable. And I think that a lot of people have the potential to be great models. So in that sense, these reality shows are quite helpful. …
Dexter TV show
When I first considered watching this TV series I was pretty much reluctant since I don’t care for criminal TV shows involving police stories catching serial killers and all the other criteria.
Imagine my shock when I became addicted to a new kind of criminal, a funny and gothic like …
