Always Sunny In Phil Season 1+2 DVD
Always Sunny is probably one of the best shows I have ever seen and if you love comedy then you should look into season 1 on DVD because it is just $40 and it comes along with season 2 in the set. This may sound like a great deal …
Family Guy: Baby not on Board
I’m glad they are airing newer episodes of the show Family Guy on Sunday nights since our local stations only show the same half dozen episodes over and over again each day. The one last night “Baby not on Board” was definitely one of the better ones I’ve seen …
Sea Hunt: The Raft TV Show
The 39th show of Sea Hunt’s second year was also the last of the season. It was entitled The Raft. The premise was the deep sea diver Mike Nelson as played by Lloyd Bridges went to a location off the coast of the Channel Islands to find …
Fireball XL5: Space Immigrants
From 1962, Gerry Anderson’s Fireball XL5: Space Immigrants is a mixture of ‘rah, women’s lib’ and ‘oops, she can’t do it without her man’. Okay, that’s not the plot, but it’s how the plot made me feel. The adorable, sexy space doctor of medicine, Doctor Venus, is …
Kaleidoscope on Ice
Presented on Thanksgiving Day in the United States, Kaleidoscope on Ice was the best ice skating show I’ve watched in years. Now that may be because one of my favorite favorites, Scott Hamilton, skated for the first time in six years. Scott has survived two different cancers …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Thirteen—“ Poison
Poisoning is probably the worst way to go. Because you don’t know what it is that killed you. All you know is that you are sick. So this episode really freaked me out. It showed what happens when the media gets a hold of something and doesn’t report it …
Parking Wars: S4, Ep 2 TV Show
The second episode of Parking Wars’ fourth season began by following a ticketing agent in Detroit. That’s something the show added a while back, expanding their focus from just Philadelphia.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Out of Mind, Out of Sight
So far, watching re-runs of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer every night has revealed two things about the show. First, Sarah Michelle Gellar is hot. Second, for every good episode of the series, there is at least two bad episodes.
The episode out of mind, out of sight was one …
M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye
Outside of the upcoming Blood Brothers episode which I consider to be tops all the way around, M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye is the best of the ninth season. It’s a show that starts out in an unsuspecting style with Hawkeye Pierce waking up in the middle of the …
Fringe Season 4 Episode 1 TV show
Episode 1 of Season 4 of Fringe has been a bit strange. While the story of Fringe is strange and complicated in general, this one was even more strange, complicated and confusing than usual. I would not say that is was a particularly good episode of Fringe. I am …
The Virginian: Sue Ann TV Show
From The Virginian’s fifth season came a nice episode called Sue Ann. It’s notable for a couple of reasons, one of which is that it starred the terrific Patty Duke and second is that it was the return of Clu Gulager as Deputy Sheriff Emmett Ryker.
This is the …

The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air TV Show
From season one, The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air is a decent show, but perhaps it is the ironic and tragic fate of the story’s characters that puts me off. It’s not really one that has a happy ending, and I’m not into melancholy at …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Like a Sister (Episode)
“Like a Sister” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. In this episode, Vic Damone guest stars and plays the role of a guest star on The Alan Brady Show. Sally becomes positively smitten with him and he spends a lot of time with her. She thinks …
Warehouse 13 season 1 episode 1 Pilot 6
This pilot episode lasts for hour and a half and in my opinion it wasn’t the best way to launch a show. I think that pilot episode of a show has to be as interesting as possible because it has to make people interested in the show and make …

CSI
CSi is kind of a strange show for me. While teh rest of the world may love it I struggle to see what makes it special or any better than any other crime show that is littering our television stations right now.
Sure it is glamourous but so is …
Mirai Nikki (Future Diary) Anime/Animated Series
First and foremost, it should be noted that this anime series can easily unnerve some people. There is a plethora of psychotic moments and gore, injuries and deaths littering the series. The plot itself can seem wicked, especially the main characters.
It is a tale of a game of survival …

We get one for Katara and Toph that has them bonding after Katara invites her for a girls day out. The …
True Beauty: The Stealing Challenge TV Show
I can’t believe ABC renewed the True Beauty series. I watched it in total disbelief last season. The concept is that models compete in various challenges for what they think are events to find the most beautiful person. Well, they’re right, except that the models assume …
Undercovers: Devices TV Show
Undercovers: Devices had a violent opening which I think is ironically tragic because of the victim. I had been a third party, enjoying the cartoons that the victim, a nurse, was watching on TV. It just felt wrong to have her shot to pieces while watching an …
