The latest episode of Cupcake Wars, Film Festival Faceoff, was focused on the Los Angeles Film Festival opening night. I do like how this competition series ties in to some event opening that day or the next. It’s fun to see the realm of the cupcake put …

From February 1989, A Man Called Hawk: The Divided Child isn’t a show that I enjoyed very much. In fact, I had a difficult time keeping focused on it during the first half. There was a lot of action and shoot ‘em up, and it just didn’t …

When a couple of teenagers go into the bedroom of a sorority house to make out, they have their moment ruined by discovering a decapitated body of a young woman hanging from the ceiling. The next day the head is discovered by a dog in the park. Some time …

For years an years we have watched the Simpsons on television. We have watched Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie go through life.
This cartoon series has been a staple in our lives as well as with many other people. We see Homer this average person, who …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Deadliest Game, the seventh episode of year two for this science fiction program, includes the second guest appearance by Lloyd Bochner. This time he plays General Hobson, and they tried to age him by making him look like he was …

We were watching a Family Guy re-run last night, The Story on Page 1 and I have to say it, it is easily the funniest episode I have seen both of this series and quite a few others I can think of.
To be honest, I’m not even really sure …

Comediennes Jo Brand, and the lesser known Jo Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine bring us a satirical look at the day to day workings of a modern NHS hospital.
It’s a strange show to first get into, using mainly ad-libbed dialogue and some camera work you’d expect from the likes …

Well, I got to see a later Simpsons episode that wasn’t too badly written; “Dial N for Nerder” and I have to say it had a pretty good plot.
You have two basic storylines going on. First, you have Bart playing a prank on Martin that causes him to fall …

A reality show from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs which airs on MTV is about individuals or a group of people who are vying for the opportunity to be one of the new rising stars or a part of a group whether buy group or girl group of five individuals. Many …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Amphibians, episode 26 from March 1965, guest stars Skip Homeier as Dr. Jenkins, Curt Conway as Dr. Winslow, and Zale Parry as Angie. Now the only reason I know Zale is from watching Sea Hunt, which is currently airing on ThisTV. …

Here we go again. You know, I love this series, but they did have the tendency to get very repetitive in their choices. In the case of Star Trek: Bread and Circuses, the Enterprise is tracking down yet another missing spaceship and, yes, the missing captain is …

Highway Patrol: Motorcycle A was one of the more interesting first season outings for this half-hour crime show that centers on the California Highway Patrol. However, while it’s interesting, I cringed at many elements of it.
First of all, the owner of the care, Bernie Sills (played by Jack …

The Girl Who Came Gift-Wrapped is a delightful 1974 made-for-TV movie which stars Richard Long as Michael Green, a wealthy publisher of a bachelor magazine. For his birthday, some friends send him a present — a gift-wrapped girl, better known as Sandy. Karen Valentine plays the bubbly, …

Since I saw the trailer of The Walking Dead on cable, I just knew I had to watch it. Honestly I am not really a huge fan of zombies. I’m a bit terrified of them but I do watch them, which is probably the influence of my boyfriend since …

The fifth and final season of Stargate Atlantis begins with an episode called Search and Rescue. Now this concludes a story that was done as a cliffhanger in season 4, and I didn’t see that. Actually, the only reason I’m reviewing the fifth season is because an …

Blue’s Clues is a tv show on Nick Jr. It is very engaging for young minds, and teaches many things. The characters are all brought to life in a way that reaches out to the minds of young children and captures their attention and developes their imagination. …

Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 2 continues the P.D. James story that takes place at Nightingale Hospital. This confines the story to taking place mostly in the hospital, and thus, it’s a story I like better than several of the other city location stories. For whatever …

I love it when I can watch a sitcom, and even when it’s been on TV for so many years, it’s still enjoyable to watch, and I can still relate to it. This is the case with Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. This show came out in the 90s, and …

IRT Deadliest Roads: Death is a Blind Corner Away was certainly a hold your breath hour. The thing is that we know nothing fatal is ever going to happen. I just don’t see this series or any version of Ice Road Truckers showing a catastrophe that involved …

Alyson Michalka stars as Marti Perkins in Hellcats: The Prisoner’s Song. This hour was full of drama and excitement, especially when Marti votes against her teammate and roommate, Savannah, when Savannah ends up in a face off with Alice over the video presentation style. Marti also has …

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 …

I have seen advertisements for the show Burn Notice before but, for some reason, just never got around to watching it. I think it’s because it didn’t look like it would be anything overly special.
However, Friday night, my wife and I were watching TV and, just as we were …

From 1958, Sea Hunt: Girl in the Trunk is a bit of a different story, and that’s partly what makes it interesting; that is, interesting to a point. What was a potentially good and different show turned into a murderous soap opera, and that was sad and disappointing.
The …

For me, The 64th Annual Tony Awards were not as wonderful as some reviewers I’ve read have made them out to be. I wasn’t enamored by Sean Hayes as they were. Perhaps it’s my tradition. It’s nothing against Hayes, but I wasn’t a fan of Will …

In my last review for the prior episode of Columbo, which was called The Most Dangerous Match, I stated that sometimes even good actors can’t draw a person into a story. Unfortunately, for me, that is again the case with the Double Shock episode, which ended the detective …

Dirty Sexy Money is all about money. Yes, there are so many TV shows and movies about money because I think people are just obsessed with money and power in general.
I must say that I cannot find a rapport with this TV drama, I’m not sure why. Sure …

In The Eye of the Beholder episode from the third season of That Girl, there are actually some very funny moments, beginning with the opening scene. I have to say first, though, that I loved the red, white, and blue dress that Marlo Thomas wore in this opening …

Ghost in The Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 6 has Kusanagi having to deal with civilians who are infected by a virus from the laughing man as they try to assassinate the superintendent.
This episode was excellent and showed off Kusanagi’s fighting skills, along with furthering the mystery of the …

Masters of Horror was a series of one-hour long independent horror movies, each one directed by a different person. The episode Sounds Like seems to be a modern retelling of Edgar Allan Poe’s famous story The Telltale Heart. Larry is a married man who recently lost his …

There are a couple of interesting points to Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 20 - Friends and Lovers that kept me viewing with anticipation.
First, there was another face off between Simon (Richard Dean Anderson) and Jack (Charles Frank) over Celia (Susan Dey). It’s such a twisted triangle that isn’t …

I had fallen out of love with Heroes. The first season was quite good. The second season was slow for the first half, and while it started to pick up near the end, the writer’s strike broke the momentum and cut the season short. The third …

After Larry’s latest behaviour; “Aren’t you Evelyn?” has now been picked up by ABC. But this reassuring new development doesn’t last for long, and as usual, Larry’s at the core of it all.
At a party hosted by an ABC bigwig; a broken bathroom lock serves as the catalyst …

Highway Patrol: Temptation, a third season 1957 episode that focuses on the service of the California Highway Patrol, was an okay episode with some high and low points. As always, the show starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews. In this episode, he’s on the trail of …

Spongebob decides to purchase a television, but not so that he can watch television, he just wants to be able to use the box for his game of imagination. When the television arrives, Squidward is just baffled as to what Spongebob is actually doing, and he ends up getting …

Overall, I enjoyed That Girl: Stocks and the Single Girl from season four of this hit ABC series. It had some great laughs in it, and it entertained me fully for the full half-hour or so. That said, while this is a different take on the rich …

Highway Patrol: Nitro is in my mind one of the worst outings for this series, but let me start with a humorous part of it.
The funniest thing about this show was a couple of lines between two men who are transporting nitroglycerin. The one man tells the other …

Well, we finally get introduced to Booth’s brother in the episode The Con Man in the Meth Lab and find out the importance of not judging someone a saint on first impressions. Sure, he seemed perfectly charming to Bones and just about everyone else meeting him for the first …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Downwind from Gettysburg starts out reminding me of the living Mr. Lincoln exhibit from Disneyland. I’ve seen that marvelous show numerous times over the years, and it’s marvelous the way Disney created a Lincoln who could stand and talk to the visitors.
In Downwind from …

The 15th cycle of America’s Next Top Model began this week with some changes, especially with the prizes. Cover Girl is still part of the big picture, but the prize are two layouts in Italian Vogue Magazine. Another change is that the goal for the year is …

“The Path to the Pokemon League” is an episode of the “Pokemon” series and it’s the first episode of several that would be made every now and then with the intent of knocking Ash’s confidence down a bit. Such episodes always show Ash getting cocky after winning a number …

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 Veil: The Return of Madame Vernoy was a very compelling story that had me fascinated from the beginning. It’s a story that takes place in India. In 1927, a young Indian woman, whose husband was a Frenchman, gave birth and died a week later. A …

At first I was really irritated with this episode because it once again centered on Sarah. Once I realized that it was her last episode and kind of her swan song, I felt a lot better. The episode focuses on Sarah as she’s drawn back into a case that’s …

Full Fathom Five was the first regular episode of the Hawaii Five-O dramatic series, and with it came the addition of James McArthur as Danny Williams. What I really like about this first interaction that we see between Danny and Five-O head, Steve McGarrett, is that it’s not …

Death Note Episode 1 begins in the world of the Shinigami, where they’re all bored with nothing to do except gamble and write names in their “death notes”, notebooks they use to write down the names of people in the human world and kill them. One Shinigami named …

Jekyll was a three part mini-series on BBC and shown on BBC America.
It is considered a “sequel” to the famous story and bring the idea to the current times.
James Nesbitt stars as Tom Jackman. He has already begun transforming into a leerying and menacing Jekyll from the beginning …

One of my favourite anime to watch these days is one called “Shingeki no Kyojin”, which apparently translates to the English “Attack on Titan”. I first heard about it when someone I know who was also interested in Japanese animation, especially those in the action genre, recommended it …

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 …

Defying Gravity is a new show that airs on ABC. It premiered in summer season of 09. It is a show about a group of space explorers. It is a split type show in which half the show is shown in present time and the other half flashbacks to …

Sea Hunt: The Alcatraz Story aired in January 1959 and was the first story of the second season which continued the adventures of deep sea diver, Mike Nelson, as portrayed by Lloyd Bridges. This particular tale has a bunch of vocal narration because so much of it does …
