Family Guy: The Courtship of Stewie’s Father
Well, I got a chance to watch the Family Guy episode “The Courtship of Stewie’s Father” again last night and have to say it is one of the funnier episodes I have seen from this series.
Basically, Peter is trying to spend more time with Stewie. Of course, the only …
The Lazarus Man: The Catamount
The Lazarus Man: The Catamount is the tenth episode of the series which aired in 1996. Here’s what I still don’t get about the main character. Lazarus has flashbacks which we see. I assume we’re seeing what he remembers. Well, I’ve heard ‘Presidential guard’ and …
Fame: Metamorphosis
Fame: Metamorphosis is the premier of the musical dancing television series which was based on a hit movie. I recall at the time being a little put off by star Debbie Allen’s comments on The Tonight Show that they’d found an even better Coco Hernandez than Irene Cara …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 3: The Fires of Pompeii
The Doctor and Donna arrive in what they think is ancient Rome, only to realize that they’re in Pompeii. Even worse, they’re on the verge of Volcano Day.
This is one of those episodes where the sum of its parts turned out to be greater than the …
Lawrence Welk TV Treasures
It’s funny how we change as we age. As a young girl, I wanted nothing to do with The Lawrence Welk Show. I recall giving my mother and grandmother such grief over watching it. As I’ve aged, though, I like it more and more. …

It all begins when Father Mulcahy pays a visit to the incoming …
Diagnosis Murder: How to Murder Your Lawyer TV Show
Quite honestly, I wasn’t as thrilled with Diagnosis Murder: How to Murder Your Lawyer as others might have been. Something about it just didn’t connect with me. I actually wonder if this might have been a pilot for another series. From the start, it felt more …
MacGyver: The Odd Triple
Jack Dalton strikes again in The Odd Triple episode of the third season of MacGyver. Bruce McGill has this part down cold and plays him well, but he still drives me nuts and I don’t enjoy these episodes as much as I do the others. Jack continues …
America’s Best Dance Crew
I love this dancing show from the first time that I watched Mario Lopez flash his dimples. I have to give it to the producers of this show. Their choice of dance crews is really good. I enjoy the fast paced dancing that every crew dishes out. As Shane …
The Simpsons Season 6 Episode 6 Treehouse of Horror V
Halloween episodes are always one of the best episodes of The Simpsons episodes. Again here there are 3 mini episodes packed into one episode. The first episode is a spoof of The Shining. The Simpsons head to MrBurns mansion to take care of it. MrBurns is aware of the …

Code Geass is a Japanese anime that aired on Adult Swim last year. Episode 2 begins as Lelouch uses his newfound powers to steal a Knightmare Frame from Villetta. He then contacts the “terrorist” Japanese resistance and uses his tactical genius to turn the tide of battle. …
Stargate SG-1: Descent
The weirdest thing about Stargate SG-1: Descent is that I don’t understand why Major Davis (well played recurringly by Colin Cunningham) is on the mission with SG-1 and Jacob. Apparently, he’s got some scientific reason for being on board, but the man is supposed to be the Pentagon …
Big Brother All-Stars TV Show
I have recently started getting back into watching the television show Big Brother. The show is currently on season seven. For this season they have brought back players from the past six seasons to form an all-stars group. In the show a group of people live together in a …
House: The Greater Good
More and more each week, I find myself not liking the House character Cuddy. Well, to be honest, I think the entire show might be going downhill a bit since it focuses on character interaction and relationships rather than actually trying to solve some sort of medical problem.
Once again, …
The magic roundabout
Like all children my son loves to watch television and there are some great television programmes out there for them to watch, but are also educational as well. There is a programme out there that I will not to let my son watch as I think that it is …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 21: Night Game
The first few minutes of this episode were definitely the weak point. Oh, the setup is simple enough, Winston is trying to convince someone to join him in going to a minor league baseball game. Ray and Peter are all for going to a ball game, but …
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened TV Show
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened is a flight of fancy in a sense in that it’s hard to tell what the reality is. Even at the end of the show, I’m not sure we know the reality. Was it that people and property …
Survivor television show
Survivor is a television show where contestants get dropped off in the middle of nowhere. They get divided in two tribes and compete for rewards and immunity from elimination. They then eliminate each other so that there is only two left. The previously eliminated contestants then …
John Doe: Shock to the System TV show
I do like the opening scene from John Doe: Shock to the System because it keeps the continuity alive of John wanting to be challenged. He doesn’t want to know everything, and like an earlier outing where he multi-tasked in a chaotic frenzy until there was something he …
Absolutely Fabulous
This is a weird show for me. On the one hand I like it but on the other there are so many things wrong with it I feel a little silly for liking it. Absolutely Fabulous is an English show and that means all it’s humor is …
Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 2
The second episode of the first season of Veronica Mars is a crucial one is setting up the relationship between Veronica Mars and Weevil, the leader of the PCH motorcycle gang. This relationship establishes one of the the essential themes of the show: class. Weevil and Veronica areoutsiders because …
Eli Stone series
I really enjoy this series because it is a well thought out manner of basing a show on the act of doing good deeds for others without seeking a reward. The lead actor playing Eli Stone is very capable of carrying a series. I can believe that …
Mr. Monk and the Badge
Wow, talk about a seriously predictable episode of Monk. Mr. Monk and the Badge could have been one of the better ones but it was one of those episodes that really is meant to provide closure to something without putting a whole lot of effort into it.
Basically, Monk finally …
Star Trek: Turnabout Intruder TV Show
What a horrible way to go out. The legendary Star Trek series ended its three year run on NBC on June 3, 1969 with a show called Turnabout Intruder. In this show, one of Kirk’s old flames wants revenge for him leaving her, so she actually uses …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 5

Life on Mars season 1 Episode 11 Home is Where You Hang Your Holster
This episode starts with really great music; the beginning is really strong and dynamic.
While arresting members of a prostitution chain the detectives from 125 find a council man in one of the rooms with a prostitute. Annie and Ray are left at the crime scene to take the statements …
Spacelift: Transporting Trek into the 21st Century featurette
Spacelift: Transporting Trek into the 21st Century is a really interesting and intriguing featurette about how Paramount Studios created the remastered Star Trek series for DVD release. The digitally enhanced three seasons of this legendary series was released circa 2004. I was totally enthralled in how this …
The Office - Blood Drive
“Blood Drive” is the episode of “The Office” that originally aired on NBC on March 5, 2009. This was an average episode that suffered from a lack of Andy Bernard and a very subdued Dwight Schrute.
Pros: Jim and Pam going to lunch with Phyllis and Bob Vance …
Laguna Beach Season Three
The Season premier of Laguna Beach, Season Three, was an absolute disappointment. I am not ashamed to say I fell in love with the first two seasons, being swept each season premier. Season three, however, does not show much promise of conflict, or developing relationships that the viewer can …
Fringe : Bound
It’s hard for me to decide if I like “Fringe” or not. On one hand I enjoy parts of the show. I’m a big science fiction fan and this reminds me more of the “X-files” than anything that has been on since. I’m certainly not the first person to compare …
Star Trek: Court Martial TV Show
Captain Kirk (William Shatner) has his hands full when he has to defend himself in Star Trek: Court Martial. He’s accused in the negligent death of one time friend, Lt. Cmdr. Ben Finney. The friendship ended when Kirk wrote up a negative report on the man. …
Fringe: The Bishop Revival
I finally got a chance to watch a full episode of Fringe last night (I love DVR because it allows me to pause the show until I get my daughter to bed). The episode, The Bishop Revival, was interesting and a bit creepy.
Basically, they had a Nazi scientist using …
M*A*S*H: Officers Only
I suppose someone behind the scenes decided that it was time to add a new set to the 4077th compound. Most scenes have traditionally been in the operating room, the Swamp, Henry’s office, including the clerk’s area, Houlihan’s tent, the showers, and the mess tent. With almost …
Highway Patrol: Reformation TV Show
Highway Patrol: Reformation aired towards the back end of this police drama’s second season. I like the concept of this episode, though I think that some of the drama could have been enhanced to give more intrigue for the viewers.
Broderick Crawford plays the confident Chief Dan Mathews, head …
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 …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Restless
The hit and miss forth season concludes with an unusual finale, both in subject matter and its change in pace. As opposed to the all out action we’ve had in previous seasons, here we’ve been treated to our kicks and punches in the previous episode, wrapping up the so-so …
Remington Steele: Steele Belted TV Show
From season one in November 1982, Remington Steele: Steele Belted was fairly interesting. It began with Steele’s condo being ransacked, though Laura Holt doesn’t seem to care. It’s not until he ends up in the middle of things himself, that Holt lets Steele in on the current …
CSI Season 3 Episode 7- Fight Night
CSI Season 3 Episode 7- Fight Night
It was a good episode, although I felt like the over complicated it a bit. There were just so many cases. The main case, although interesting when they find the variety of evidence that links several people to the defeat of the boxer, …
Seven days Season 1 episode 19
I admit that I don’t think that one has to be very intelligent to watch this show and understand it because it is very simple, but some episodes are really ridiculous.
It starts when Olga and Ramsey catch Frank performing an operation on a rat. Frank invites Olga for a …
The X-files The Amazing Maleeni Episode
This episode of the popular 90s American television show “The X-Files” was one of the most memorable episodes. I watched it many years ago and still cannot forget it because a particular part of the introduction make me cringe. It takes a lot to make me cringe too, as …
Til death
When I first saw Til Death I was quite excited. I saw that Brad garrett form Everybody loves Raymond was the star and was itching to see what he was up to.
The premise was simple, a married couple who are used to each others way are unsettled when …
American Idol Season 8 Auditions
I am really psyched by American Idol Season 8 Auditions. In Singapore, we have the same day telecast as the US and that is super awesome. These past 3 nights in a row from Wednesday right up to Friday, I have been watching the auditions non-stop; meaning? …
Stargate SG-1: Demons
Stargate SG-1: Demons is a sort of odd entry in the minds of some for the third season of the sci-fi series. In this episode, SG-1 find themselves on a planet that is reminiscent of Medieval Europe in their way of living and beliefs.
At issue in part is …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 2: Apollo One
The tragic disaster of Apollo One while performing the standard plugs-out test begins this second episode of From the Earth to the Moon called simply enough, Apollo One. Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee were all killed. This leads to a government investigation as well as …
Smallville Season 8 Episode 6
This episode was a little boring in my opinion. It was all to do with developing the story line for the entrance of Doomsday. A killer is going nuts all over Metropolis and Clark and Chloe are trying to find it. They go looking for the …
Highway Patrol: : Prospector TV Show
Overall, I rather liked Highway Patrol: : Prospector. In this half hour police drama, a prospector thinks he has struck it rich when he ends up with a lot of money, only he didn’t come upon it properly. No, he didn’t steal it, but he finds it …
M*A*S*H: A Holy Mess
M*A*S*H: A Holy Mess revolves around two basic plots. One concerns eggs that a Korean farmer donates for work that the 4077th has done. Since having eggs is a rarity, the camp goes wild with eager anticipation. Many want their eggs (each will get 2 eggs …
