Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 2
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 2 is the strangest episode in the entire Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime, in both seasons, because it does not follow any of the main characters, it is not about any of them and doesn’t enhance the plot …
The Twilight Zone: I Sing the Body Electric TV Show
I Sing the Body Electric is one of my very favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone. Actually, this work has been done as a movie and TV show, and I haven’t seen a version I don’t like. This story goes from when the grandmother is conceived of …

Vikings (TV series)
One of my favourite television series as of late is “Vikings”. It’a almost completely unexpected too, since while I’ve been hearing about how good it was since 2013, I just never thought that I would enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy Game of Thrones. As it turns out …
True Blood 3.5 “Trouble”
The fifth episode of True Blood’s third season, “Trouble”, unfortunately proved to me once again that this season lacks the steam of the previous season. This might be due to the large number of subplots; despite the recent merging of some of them, namely the overly creepy Franklin being …
Psych: Tuesday the 17th
There aren’t many shows that do a Friday the 13th episode. But, watching Psych last Friday and seeing them do a spoof of the movie was kind of cool.
Ok, it wasn’t really true to the film. But, seeing Shawn and Gus investigating a disappearance at their old youth campground …

Gotham (2014) - TV Show
I love anything to do with the Batman universe. When I heard that a new tv show, Gotham, was in the works I was really excited, especially because it was to show the origins of many of the exciting characters in the Batman universe. In fact, the main character of …

Lost Season 6 Episode 4
As with every episode of Lost this one was a little weird. There was so much going on I won’t recap what happened. This episode was mainly about Sawyer/Locke and a little bit of Hurley.
It’s really nice to see the Locke character alive and well especially when …
Naruto Episode 3 Subbed
Following in the footsteps of the previous episode, episode 3 of Naruto is almost solely dedicated to comedic relief and character development. Also like episode 2, episode 3 is surprisingly fun, entertaining, and captivating. We finally get to meet some new major characters in the form of Naruto’s two …
That Girl: There Sure Are a Bunch of Cards in St. Louis Part 1
Now that they are engaged, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) and Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) head to St. Louis for Ann to formally meet the rest of Don’s family. Missing is his sister, Sandy, and that is unexplained and a glaring oversight in my opinion. On the good side, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Man Who Lost TV Show
From season two, The Man Who Lost was the 31st episode of the year. Can you imagine that? The 31st, and it wasn’t the last one! The series was Have Gun - Will Travel, starring Richard Boone as the intellectual gunfighter for hire, Paladin. Whatever …
Stargate SG-1: The Road Not Taken
This episode of Stargate SG-1 called The Road Not Taken is Sam-intensive as it takes her to an alternate reality. This is the final episode without Michael Shanks. Ben Browder is a minor player here as Mitchell, as is Claudia Black as Vala. David Hewlett guest …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Cold Blooded TV Show
Cold Blooded, the latest episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, didn’t impress me as much as last week’s show about hoarding did, but it was close. This was more of a Halloween themed show, not that many shows could be called that from this current year of episodes. …
Are you Smarter than a 5th grader?
I think that Are you Smarter than a 5th grader is a pretty cool TV show. The idea is original and has never been done before. So this makes the show really cool in my eyes. I mean it’s funny to see 5th grader’s be able ot answer questions that …
CSI Season 6 Episode 17-I Like To Watch
I don’t know how I’ll feel about this episode. On one hand I thought the idea was very interesting. I did not find the criminal himself to be interesting, more did I find his sessions very unique, but I think that the methods he used to commit …
The Good Wife: VIP Treatment TV Show
This hour of The Good Wife, titled VIP Treatment, was interesting because it was self contained in many ways, which honestly surprised me. There was actually not all that much of Julianna Margulies in my opinion. I felt like the concentration of the camera was more on …
Chris Farley E! True Hollywood Story (E! network TV show)
Chris Farley was one of the most lovable Saturday Night Live characters of all time. I didn’t realize just how lonely and sad he actually was. This E! True Hollywood story really depicted the life behind the actor who was known for his crazy antics. …
Fresh Prince TV Show
This television show is a comedy from the early 90s featuring will smith. I really loved watching this show back in the day, and now I watch it on nick at night. The show was one of the first that featured a black family on television. I just to …
The X-Files: Season 3, Episode 4: Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose
Much like with “Humbug” we get a stand alone episode that puts a larger emphasis on humor than on eeriness or creepy atmosphere. Also like the aforementioned episode, this one works really well. This is in no small part, due to Peter Boyle’s portrayal of the titular …
Stargate Atlantis: The Shrine
Stargate Atlantis: The Shrine is another fifth season program from this series’ final season on television. It’s the sixth show and in it, David Hewlett gets to stand out with his acting skills, such as they are, by playing a Rodney McKay who has gone from genius to …
The Simpson’s: Little Orphan Millie
Well, that was an interesting episode of the Simpson’s last night “Little Orphan Millie” but it really wasn’t quite as funny as I would expect from this show.
Milhouse’s parents finally get back together after being divorced for a couple seasons. But, on their honeymoon, they fall overboard on a …
Gilligan’s Island - All About Eva Episode
Season three episode 82 is interesting since Ginger actually plays two roles, herself as Ginger and also Eva Grubb. Eva travels to the island by boat to leave men and society behind due to her depression from men rejecting her. Her emotional state leads her through this whole show. I …

CSI Season 1 Episode 23 Strip Strangler
I did not like this episode very much. I don’t know if this episode was funny or annoying really. It was just so immature, sort of a childish behaviour in a script. It made absolutely no sense to me.
In this episode, without considering Grissom’s wishes, the police contact the …
Friends - The TV Serial
Friends TV series started in 1994 and finally ended in 2004. It is one of the most popular TV shows of it’s time and many like me were sorry to see it end. There have been many reviews but I wanted to write this review as a tribute to …
The Sopranos
The Sopranos is a “compelling” TV Show. I think compelling is the best word. Even though some scenes are controversial or you see the evil side of many of the main characters, for some reason the show compels you to keep watching. HBO has less strict regulations than cable …
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man is a powerful episode of this series. It’s a strong show take takes place in a futuristic society where there is no deity and the definition of being useful is totally up to the totalitarian society. The use of this kind …
Highway Patrol: Portrait of Death TV Show
Highway Patrol: Portrait of Death is the 7th episode of the fourth year, airing back in November 1958. Police dramas were different then. This show which has been considered a leader from early television is rather tame and has some real staging and directing problems. However, …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Hugh Hefner TV Show
Well, even Hugh Hefner got into being The Man of the Week for this The Dean Martin Comedy Hour edition. A lot of these original roasts have been repackaged under the moniker of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, the evolution of the roasting a bit murky for many. …
Monk (tv series)
The television series “Monk” was one of those that I began watching from the time the pilot episode premiered years ago. While I don’t remember thinking it was very interesting, especially since I was much younger and my interests differed somewhat, when I got older and my sense of …
MacGyver: Unfinished Business
The fourth season of MacGyver came to a close with an episode called Unfinished Business. Oddly, this is a bit of a clips show. Clip shows are done to help keep back cost, with most of the action related to the clips somewhat sedate and with the …
The Twilight Zone: The Man in the Bottle TV Show
On the surface, The Twilight Zone: The Man in the Bottle is like a wish come true. Haven’t we all secretly wished for a magic bottle with a genie inside who could make all of our dreams come true? That’s what happens in this episode, to Arthur …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 19: Dod Kalm
This episode had promise, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to it. It had all the makings of a solid stand alone, isolating the agents, giving them a ticking clock against an unnatural enemy, and even allowing for some character conflict, but the execution wasn’t as good as …
NCIS
NCIS is a crime drama. It stands for Naval Crime Investigation and that’s what it is. They deal with crimes that involve the navy. While on the surface that may sound boring it’s actually not. NCIS is a very well done show and is …
Star Trek: Let That Be Your Last Battlefield TV Show
I must admit that Star Trek: Let That Be Your Last Battlefield is one show I’m rarely eager to watch. It’s a show that has prejudice as its theme, thanks to two warring aliens who hate each other because of their physical differences. This is an interesting …
Rizzoli & Isles season finale 1.10 “When the Gun Goes Bang, Bang, Bang”
Rizzoli and Isles has been TNT’s new summer series, paired up in its short, ten episode first season with The Closer, networks old and steady earner and viewership-provider. With such a demanding partner, an established procedural, the new show was almost bound to fall short: Kyra Sedgewick won an …
Naruto Episode 6 Subbed
After a little bit more comedy at Naruto’s expense, episode 6 finally provides what all the previous episodes have been pointing towards: real, dangerous, action. And this episode did a superb job of introducing the action. There is enough explanatory dialog to keep the story going strong without confusing …
Rescue Me series
Rescue Me is a phenomenal television program, expertly melding the genres of comedy, drama, and brief snippets of action into a seething, emotionally driven and, at times, flat out hilarious portrayal of life for New York City firefighters, especially in the midst of the tragedies of 9/11. Actor/ Comedian …
Eerie India television show
When i was a young teenager I liked a television show called Eerie Indiana and I would watch it every week without fail. It must have been good because ten years later I can still remember a lot of the episodes, and was compelled to order it on a …
Wagon Train: The Bleeker Story
This is a non-Robert Fuller episode of Wagon Train, except for a piece of stock footage inserted at the tail end of the show for comedic effect. The man had a great contract, that’s for sure. The Bleeker Story is the story of a family that Duke …
Unorthodox : Law & Order SVU
OK, I’ll admit, this was an interesting episode for the most part, but I do have to question exactly why the producers of this show went out of their way to attack the culture of orthodox Jews when the rapist turned out to be a child; not one of …
Mr. Monk and the Other Woman
This morning was the first time I’ve seen the Monk episode “Mr. Monk and the Other Woman.” I’m not sure when it was made, but I’m guessing it was sometime in the first season because the police seem like they don’t want his help yet.
Overall, it was a pretty …
Centennial: The Scream of Eagles
Skipping ahead to modern day, the majestic and inspiring mini-series, Centennial, concludes with this episode called The Scream of Eagles. It’s a wonderful wrap up that reviews how the land was loved and nurtured by the Native American Indians and just how the white man has done just …
