King of the Lost World
I have no idea why I decided to watch King of the Lost World on the Science Fiction channel last night, probably because there wasn’t much on. However, I have to say it was one of the stupidest movies I’ve ever seen.
When I watched King of the Lost World, …
Highway Patrol: Prison Break TV Show
I have a couple of episodes of Highway Patrol in my personal video collection, but I haven’t seen the series in years. Now one of the cable networks is rerunning it, and it’s a great opportunity to watch this groundbreaking series again. As many of the so-called …
Ace of Cakes
After a few episodes of Ace of Cakes, a Food Network show, you will never look at a cake the same way again. The things this group of friends can turn out using things like a blow torch and electric saws are more than cakes, they are works of …
The West Wing
The West Wing was created by Aaron Sorkin, who previously had an excellent, under-rated series called Sports Night. The West Wing is a fictionalized account of the White House. Martin Sheen plays president Jeb Bartlett. While Bartlet is ever present, the focus of the show is …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 2: Partners in Crime
The still companionless Doctor finds himself investigating a new diet pill. As it happens, Donna Noble, the runaway bride, is investigating the same matter. You’d think that they would bump into each other right away so that the plot could get moving, but they don’t realize the …
Disney’s Recess
I was lazing around at home the other night, with nothing to do. Everyone in the house was working, and so was my boyfriend. I was really out of my mind, and did not know what to do at all. I looked at all my DVD …

I enjoyed …
The Good Wife: Mock TV Show
The Good Wife is a show I watch every week, but even as I watch it, it often bothers me. In fact, the more the show goes along, the more I wonder if I might stop watching. This episode called Mock is a perfect example of why …
Gisele Bundchen on Ellen Talk Show
I like Gisele Bundchen’s accent so much. If you have the chance to catch the episode on Ellen Talk Show, featuring Gisele Bundchen, you have to not give this a miss.
Although I have read somewhere that she is a strict person and all that, I do think that she …
The Prisoner: The General
The Prisoner: The General takes the theory of speed reading and turns it into speed learning, something the villainous Number Two (Colin Gordon for the second time) wants to use to try and brainwash the citizens of The Village. It’s an odd method that works to an extent.
The …
The Shining (Mini-Series)
Any fan of the original Shining movie will know Stephen King wasn’t best pleased with Kubrick’s adaptation, and in this mini-series, King has the chance to rectify those issues and bring in ignored elements of the book.
The story is the same, the Torrence family spend the winter in …
The Jeffersons (TV Show) - Jenny’s Thesis (Episode)
“Jenny’s Thesis” serves as the fourth season finale of “The Jeffersons” and it’s easily one of the television show’s strongest episodes yet, and perhaps one of the series’ most outstanding episodes. Just as “All in the Family” was usually at its best when it tackled a very real issue, …
Dawson’s Creek Season One
I have watched Season One of Dawson’s Creek and am on the second epi of Season Two. I don’t know why I’m writing this review because I almost have no opinion; I’m not sucked into the show yet like I feel I should be. The writing is good, the …
Ayashi No Ceres Anime
Ayashi No Ceres is one of those Japanese Anime/Manga stories that stuck with me whenever I think about Japanese cartoons or animes as they are called. Ayashi No Ceres started out as a manga and then began an anime. Which is what most animes evolve from. After reading the …
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother
When I saw the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother on cable the other night, I had to watch it. Gene Wilder in his directorial debut is always something that’s going to attract my attention. However, I found I was very disappointed in the movie.
Wilder made a good effort …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Ten —“ The Popular Kids
Sometimes the scariest unsubs are kids! This episode is about high school. Where a jock and his cheer leader girl friend are murdered. The unsub tries to turn the investigation towards Satanists. But I was interested to find out that there are not a lot of cases that end …

One day Patrick goes to visit Spongebob at the Krusty Krab and he is trying to close down the shop. He asks Patrick to help him take out the garbage because there is so much. While they were throwing out trash into the dumpster, they are reading …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Nineteen —“ Machismo
This episode was set in Mexico. It wasn’t one of my favorites, but I will take two bad episodes out of twenty two. The unsub was killing elderly women. Who kills grandmas? That’s just plain wrong! But I guess that was the point. While it was fun to …
The Twilight Zone: Young Man’s Fancy TV Show
Now The Twilight Zone: Young Man’s Fancy is quandary. What can you say about a mommy’s boy who never grows up? It’s bad enough when he stays attached to her apron when she’s alive, but to cling on when she’s dead, is an entirely other story.
From May …
Stylista TV series
The CW network’s - together with Tyra Banks - indirect answer to the popular Project Runway is Stylista, a TV series that enlists several fashion-oriented individuals to vie for the prize of a much-coveted fashion career at Elle magazine.
Unlike Project Runway, which focuses on creativity and talent easily appreciated …
Lindsay Lohan on Ellen
One thing is for sure after I watched Lindsay Lohan on Ellen. She can’t sing. But she tried her best and I give her full marks for that. Her voice is kind of alright, and more suited for school dances and entertaining school proms. But I …
The Andy Griffith Show: Class Reunion TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Class Reunion, which aired in February 1963, was a rather nostalgic, almost melodramatic episode. It clearly set the end to any notion of Andy and Nurse Peggy, who is now a non-factor.
The show began with Barney Fife (Don Knotts) bringing some things over to …
Mr. Monk & the Candidate
I got the first season of the show Monk for Christmas and finally got a chance to watch the very first episode again; Mr. Monk and the Candidate. This is a fantastic episode.
Even though I do wish they would have spent a bit more time talking about the death …

LG 32″ 720P Television
I absolutely love my LG 720P LCD television set. Given to me as a surprise from a very special friend, I have faithfully been watching television magic on the 32 inch screen. The image quality of the screen is absolutely fantastic and very clear, conveying colors vividly and crisply …
Scrubs TV Show
Scrubs is a TV comedy about a group of hospital employee’s that is shown on NBC Thursday nights at 9 eastern time. It’s quite different than most shows about hospitals, in that it shows you the perspective of how each person sees the events of the day, as if …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Code of Honor
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Code of Honor is an episode that puzzles me. I do not know if the writers of the episode were deliberately trying to be racist or if they were driving at something else, but the way the episode is scripted makes me wonder. …
Law & Order CI: Major Case
I was watching Law & Order Criminal Intent last night and have to say, even though I’m still not a huge fan of the Jeff Goldblum addition to the cast, I did like the episode “Major Case.”
The pairing of Nichols and Eames was definitely interesting though I think Goren …
Have Gun - Will Travel: First, Catch a Tiger TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: First, Catch a Tiger was the first show of the season for year number three. I love how it starts, with Paladin playing chess against himself. He tells Hey Boy that he doesn’t like doing that because “I always know what I’m …
The Great British Bake Off: S1, Ep1 TV Show
The Great British Bake Off was a 6 week challenge with 10 top bakers cooking around Britain, with two eliminated each week. I’ve seen five of these shows and hope to catch the sixth. Since I’m in America, sometimes I’m not able to see all of these …

It’s a futuristic yarn where the extremely wealthy Stendahl exacts revenge against those who were responsible for the banning and burning of books; more specifically, his library …
Once Upon A Time TV Series
Every Sunday I have to be front and center at eight o’ clock on ABC. Why? Because the television series Once Upon A Time airs during that time.
I think I was like everyone else who loved the promo for the new series, but was not sure how to …
The Simpsons: King of the Hill
I’ve seen the Simpsons episode King of the Hill several times and it never fails to entertain me.
This is a very funny episode from beginning to end.
It starts out with the family at a church picnic and Homer embarrassing himself and Bart during a game of capture the flag …
Laramie: The Fatal Step TV Show
In Laramie: The Fatal Step, there is another strong guest cast to go along with the excellent partnership of John Smith and Robert Fuller as friends and co-workers, Slim Sherman and Jess Harper, respectively. I am just always amazed at the strong acting that was scene in this …
The Cleaner: Pilot
Out of boredom recently, I noticed that the entire first season of The Cleaner was available ‘on demand’ of my cable company. I’ve never watched the show,nor had any real inclination to turn it on, but I have seen the advertising about the start of its upcoming second …
Sea Hunt: Starting Signal TV Show
From September 1961, Starting Signal is the 35th episode of Sea Hunt’s fourth and last year on television. This under water adventure is another one that is related to a special United States Coast Guard mission.
While working on a project, things go wrong. It has to do …
The Fugitive: Tug of War
The Fugitive: Tug of War from season two is an interesting show that pits two law enforcement types against each other. Both want to bring Kimball in, and it’s quite the guessing game as to who will be the victor as the show progresses.
Don Gordon guest stars as …
Angel Episode 1.2: Lonely Hearts
Being only the second episode of the series. It stands to reason that this episode is more straight forward. A serial killer (demonic of course) is killing people using a local singles bar as a buffet table.
I think they overdid the whole “we’re not in …
Prison Wives
The show ‘Prison Wives’ is a new show about women who have married men who, for the most part, will be spending the rest of their lives in prison. What is wrong with this picture? I can understand if your man will get out and you’ll be able to …
Beast Wars - Go With the Flow
Beast Wars - Go With the Flow is a third season episode that feels very much like a season one episode. By that, I mean, there is more focus on comedy and humor than there is on the story or the characters. It is most definitely the most lighthearted …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 17: Sea Fright
This episode was a blast to watch. Oddly enough, the Ghostbusters themselves take a backseat. They’re pretty much along for the ride as a crew of ghost pirates, or were they pirate ghosts? What was the difference again? Whatever, the ghost crew arrives in New York …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Creature Below! TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Creature Below! was the 16th show to air during the 1965-1966 TV season, which was the second year of this sci fi series about the nuclear submarine, Seaview. The Seaview should have billing: it’s a vital part of what makes …
Mercy
Mercy is a new hospital drama on NBC on Wednesday nights at 8. I started watching it from the pilot, expecting a half decent medical show. I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are very appealing, the medicine is realistic, and the plotline is dynamic enough to …
Star Trek: The Empath TV Show
Kathryn Hays was awesome in Star Trek: The Empath where she plays Gem. Hays has those big eyes; they were perfect for this role. She’s been on many shows over the years, but is best know probably for being on As The World Turns for the last …
The Office US
The Office US is obviously the US version of the hit UK series The Office. I’m not really a fan of English tv so I watched the American version and I haven’t seen the english model so I can’t compare the two.
I have to say it was a …
