True Blood 3.02 “Beautifully Broken”
The second episode of True Blood’s third season delivers on almost all the promises of the premiere, and is definitely worth watching —“ especially since the action, rather than unravelling slowly, as most series would have it in their second episode, starts off at a break-neck pace, with barely …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Mutiny, episode 18 of season one, gives us something a little different at the beginning. Admiral Nelson, played by series star Richard Basehart, is checking out a new submarine, the Neptune. Naturally, things go mysteriously awry on the vessel.
Following are …
The Twilight Zone: The Lateness of the Hour TV Show
There’s so much that is so weird about The Twilight Zone: The Lateness of the Hour that I barely know where to start. The opening is just disturbingly odd. The massage on the mother is really over the top. In fact, I don’t even want to …
Good Morning Kuya TV Show
This is to give comment/review on the tv program i just saw today at around 8:30 a.m. It is entitled: “Good Morning Kuya” of UNTV 37 in the Philippines. I saw it on Channel 99 of Destiny Cable, a Philippine cable provider. The reception was somehow unclear, oh …

Star Trek: The Lorelei Signal TV Show
Now here is a fun story, and I would guess that Gene Roddenberry would have loved to have produced something like this for live television. Star Trek: The Lorelei Signal, the fourth episode of the 1973 animated series, has a landing party from the Enterprise beaming down to …
America’s Got Talent
I usually don’t sit down and watch America’s Got Talent because I had gotten so used to watching other talent search shows like American Idol or So You Think You Can Dance. However, sometimes there’s just not anything else on entertaining. The judges are really fun to watch too …
The Biggest Loser
I have been watching The Biggest Loser for a couple of years now and I am always amazed at the amount of hard work that people will put into losing weight once they are in the public eye. I have never understood why, when there is no money involved, …
Who Do You Think You Are? (NBC Television Series)
History and genealogy have been interests of mine for years. I also have curiosity about celebrities. So, I was happy when NBC did its series “Who Do You Think You Are?” It was seven episodes of celebrities researching their family history. I also saw some …
Fireball XL5: The Triads
One of 39 episodes, this Fireball XL5 program is called The Triads, and I have to say, it has a heck of a funny moment when Professor Matt Matic goes running across a planet while being chased by a giant lion. What is terrific is that this is …
Stargate SG-1 The Nox
“The Nox” is arguably the single, best episode of Stargate SG-1. This team episode captured the magic and essence of SG-1’s exploration of the universe. It showed the fallacy and limitations of our assumptions, while entertaining us at the same time.
The Nox are a simple, yet complex …
Due South: North
The second season of Due South begins with an episode entitled North. The name is appropriate since the main characters of Benton Fraser and Ray Vecchio are headed north to Canada where they are going to rebuild Fraser’s father’s cabin that burned down at the end of season …

The 82nd Academy Awards: In Memoriam segment - 2010
I was very disappointed in the The 82nd Academy Awards, especially in the In Memoriam segment. I’m condemning this portion of the broadcast as it outraged me more than anything else on the program. The memoriam section, those few minutes when the Academy acknowledges those who …
That 70s Show: Sparks
Oh My God, that was one funny episode of the series That 70s Show. I thought I would have a hard time breathing as hard as I was laughing.
Basically, this is one of the episodes that took place when Eric and Donna were going to get married. She gets …
Futurama Episode 7: My Three Suns
Series Name: Futurama
Episode Title: Episode 7: My Three Suns
My personal rating: 8/10
Episode seven of the first series of Futurama is certainly one of my all-time favorites. This episode has laugh after laugh, and especially if you are like me and are easily amused and laugh at absolutely anything. The …

NCIS Los Angeles Season 3 Episode 3

Grey’s Anatomy Television show
Talk about great surprises! I was reluctant to watch this show; there are so many medical shows out there. However, I was greatly surprised when I watched Grey’s Anatomy. The show has fantastic character development on top of the appealing storylines. Grey’s Anatomy sets a …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 11- Raising Shane
This episode is connected to a previous one called “Hung Out to Dry.” I really didn’t like that previous episode and I found it really difficult and boring to understand and to follow. Maybe the writers have decided to redeem themselves and brought an ending to that story- and …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Death Watch TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Death Watch, episode 9 from season 3, stars Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. Crane was always my favorite as I just adored Hedison. He certainly had the look, voice, and demeanor to …
Merlin Season 2, Episode 11
I am a huge fan of this TV series. Mind you, it is a British production, and I think that BBC airs it in Britain, although cable providers here in Canada do have access and rights to the program.
Merlin starts on a simple premise. If you love …

The Dangerous People
My wife has never seen the show “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” so, since there was nothing else on TV last night I decided to put on a re-run of the classic series. Fortunately, there was a great episode on at the time “The Dangerous People.”
This is one of those episodes …
Fireball XL5: Drama at Space City
I definitely have a few thoughts related to Fireball XL5: Drama at Space City. This episode has Steve and Venus going off on vacation, leaving Zoonie to stay with Jonathan Zero, the son of Commander Zero. Meanwhile, Professor Matt Matic takes the relaxation pills that Venus prescribed …
South Park: WTF
The point of South Park is to put ignorant children into adult situations, knowing they would have no idea what was going on. While it has strayed from this ideal a quite a bit, it is nice to see an episode that involves many of the major characters at …
Sex Revolution on VH-1
Sex: Revolution was a five part series airing on VH-1 that detailed the history of the sexual revolution in the United States starting in the 1950’s. I’m not exactly sure when the series first aired because I never heard of it before, but when they showed all five episodes …

Halt and Catch Fire (historical drama television series)
The only reason I even knew Halt and Catch Fire even existed was when I saw it advertising one day on the cable television channel AMC. However, I only became interested in seeing it for myself when I became aware that the actor Lee Pace was playing a major role. …
The Virginian: Eileen TV Show
From March 1969, Eileen was a seventh season episode of The Virginian. The story involved a young woman named Eileen who visits Shiloh. The trip was arranged by her father, a friend of Clay Grainger. At the heart of the trip is the fact that Eileen …
South Park: Guitar Queero
Being one of the newer episodes of South Park, Guitar Queero plays into the same self enhanced stereotypes the writers of the show have been playing into for a while. While the plot is clear enough, it relies too heavily on the subject matter to make it interesting and …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Dead Run
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Dead Run is another standard; no, make that, below average outing of an adventure series that just has never found its core. With Bruce Boxleitner starring as Frank Buck, big game hunter and adventure seeker, the show just doesn’t know what it wants to …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 5
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig episode 5 has Section 9 going after an assassin who is trying to kill the Prime Minister for ignoring the refugees.
This episode is very well done because we finally see the person behind the Individual 11 group that we …
Stargate SG-1: Tin Man
I really enjoy this season one entry. Stargate SG-1: Tin Man is a bit of fun for me. Our team is cloned, well, actually, they become synthetic copies of themselves, and the process of them finding that out and dealing with their emotions is just awesome.
Richard Dean …

Baywatch
Baywatch was a cool show in it’s time and I loved to watch it. I think Baywatch does not get the credit it deserves as all it is really known for is pretty girls running on the beach and when the show first came out it was a …
The League of Gentlemen - Series Three
The League of Gentlemen may have quickly established itself as a sketch show with a difference, but with the third series comes an even more original, ingenious approach.
While the first two series’ may have impressed with its over reaching story arcs and ever developing characters, this third and …
Bones: Intern in the Incinerator
I got home from work yesterday and was watching a repeat of the show Bones on television “Intern in the Incinerator” and have to say this is a pretty impressive episode.
Basically, they find a dead body in the incinerator at the Jeffersonian (which was really gross by the way; …
Tru TV
Once upon a time, a cable channel took the world by storm. Court TV became a sensation, thanks to the OJ Simpson trial. Every day, Court TV was there with the proceedings. This was this banner — live action in courts all across America, with experienced …
House: Painless
I really hate how they keep messing with the overall format of the show “House.” It is a great medical drama that keeps losing momentum because of all the dumb little side stories you have to contend with each week.
The episode “Painless” for example, has a great case in …
Beast Wars - Code of Hero
Beast Wars - Code of Hero is, quite easily, my favorite episode of the series and one of my favorite episodes of any show period. This episode is amazingly powerful and sends a powerful message to, admittedly a relatively young audience, although the show can really be appreciated and …
Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 2
I’m not as fond of Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 2 as I am of part 1 for several reasons.
First, I don’t like what happens in part 2. There’s a major character death, and it’s one that was ordered by the Sci-Fi Network. They wanted the audience to …
