The World Strictest Parents - TV Show - BBC 3
The Worlds Strictest Parents is a show on BBC 3. The title is not quite as harsh as it might seem. There has not been a competition to find the strictest parents, or anything like that, but the purpose of the show is to take teenagers from the U.K …
Monk Season 3
The third season of Monk was a transitional period, and that’s why I had to rate it so low. Sharona was one of my favorite characters and in this season she ended up leaving the show. I heard that it was a contract dispute and some money problems, but …
The Andy Griffith Show: Guest of Honor TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Guest of Honor isn’t one of my favorites. I love this series greatly, but even when funny, not every show is one that I adore. This second season entry has Mayberry celebrating Founders’ Day by randomly selecting a passerby to be their Guest …
Laramie: Street of Hate TV Show
Laramie: Street of Hate, a first year episode of this awesome western series, featured an interesting guest star performance by Charles Bronson, who actually did a lot of television in the late 50’s and early 60’s.
In this hour, Bronson plays Frank Buckley, an outcast from Laramie who has been …
Apollo Wives
Apollo Wives aired on the BBC surprisingly and covered a reunion of Apollo astronaut wives in Arizona. I’ve watched a bunch of astronaut related programs over the years and this one was very different.
My chief criticism off the bat is that they didn’t identify who was talking as …
San Francisco International
San Francisco International was the pilot for a TV series which did sale. While a lot of folks have criticized this made-for-TV film, I don’t really have a problem with it, mainly because I accept it for what it is — a pilot done as a movie. …
Sabrina the Teenage Witch TV show
During the 90’s, there was a show on ABC called Sabrina the Teenage Witch. It is now on the ABC Family channel. Back when the show was on, it was one of my favorite shows. It is about a girl who finds out at the age …

Gilligan’s Island - Take a Dare TV Show
Here we have George Barkley rolled by Strother Martin introduced to the island. He actually plays a strong willed but passionate character. But he has downfalls of his own. Ginger actually picked up on one and another is greed. If Barkley would have worked with the Castaways instead of …
Monsters Inside Me show
Monsters Inside me is a show on Animal Planet. It is about parasites that infect people and cause terrible symptoms. It is often graphic and hard to watch, as it shows worms and other things inside people’s bodies. Every episode has a different theme. Notably, the focus of the …
Dexter’s Laboratory
In the late 1990s and the early 2000s, there were three cartoons on Cartoon Network which I remember were quite popular amongst children and a few teenagers I knew. These were “Johnny Bravo”, “Cow and Chicken” and “Dexter’s Laboratory”. Even now I think that “Dexter’s Laboratory” or “Dexter’s Lab”, …
Kap’s Amazing Video
It is Sunday today, and as expected there are few tv shows that I am looking forward to watch. More often, I feel there is even nothing worth watching at all. My mom was browsing through the channels and well, she chanced upon the show in Channel 7, Kap’s …
Dora the Explorer TV Episode: Dora Saves Three Kings Day
I came home for lunch today and my youngest daughter was watching Dora the Explorer on TV. Since it had been a while since I watched this show (my oldest daughter used to watch it religiously until she outgrew it), I decided to take some time and watch it …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Indestructible Man TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Indestructible Man, show twenty-one of this first year, was directed by Felix Feist. I mention him because his shows always seem to have an extra zest about them. I’m not sure I can even describe it, but the shows …

Undercover Boss: Chris McKann TV Show
Chris McKann, president of 1-800-Flowers, was the center of the season finale of Undercover Boss. It was interesting to watch for a couple of reasons, one of which was the particular history of this flower company. Chris is the younger brother of the founder and CEO, Jim …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Guitar Player Returns TV Show
Guitarist Jim Lindsey returns to Mayberry in this May 1961 outing, The Andy Griffith Show: The Guitar Player Returns. Just like the first show earlier in the year that centered on this character, I’m not a big fan of this episode. It’s okay, and it’s ten times …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Seven Keys to Singapore: Part 1
Bring ‘Em Back Alive was a story based very loosely on big game hunter, Frank Buck. The goal was not to kill the prey, but to bring ‘em back alive, to zoos and such. The show starred Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan, Clyde Kusatsu, and Ron Neal.
My impressions …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.2 - Lost Boys
While Corey Haim is busy promoting the 20th anniversary of the film that launched them to stardom, “The Lost Boys”, Feldman would rather concentrate on his wife’s photo shoot with Stuff Magazine. It’s a very messed up and embarrassing situation where Haim shows up alone at a radio interview …
A Taste for Death - Part 3
There were a few good moments in A Taste for Death - Part 3 as Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) continued to try and solve the circumstances surrounding the death of Sir Paul Berowne, who had died in a church.
The most fun portion was a scene in Dalgliesh’s office …
Adam 12 - Log 112
“Adam-12″, Log 112, is a satisfying episode with some humor and some drama, making it a well rounded show.
The humor aspect comes in with the set up early on, when Officer Pete Malloy gets hit inside a bar during a disturbance call. The key is that he never …
Black Gold: S3, Ep 4 TV Show
The biggest part of Black Gold’s 4th episode from season three was on new driller Ben’s first day on the job. The question was rather or not he could control the unruly bunch of crew and get them to do their jobs.
What is funny about that to me …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Station TV Show
Sea Hunt: Underwater Station was a decent episode. I’m not a big Lloyd Bridges fan and Sea Hunt isn’t really a favorite show or anything, but it tends to come on TV at a moment when nothing else is on, so I’ve been watching it from time to …
Married with Children TV Episode: Where’s the Boss
Synopsis: Al grows frustrated over the fact his boss has never visited him at work and doesn’t know he even exists so he threatens to quit if the store’s owner doesn’t show up to shake his hand within 30 days.
What I liked about this episode: I caught the very …
The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: Death at the Opera
The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: Death at the Opera features the very hip Diana Rigg as an unconventional sleuth named Adela Bradley. Rigg made several of these shows over a period of a few years. Bradley is very edgy and trendy for the era in which this is …
David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet
I remember watching David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet and it was during those glamor days surrounding the hype of the movie Titanic. It was such a very good episode and Kate is such a good talker.
I love watching her on talk shows and interviews …
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas was this American Idol alum’s first TV special. I liked it, somewhat, but was also disappointed. Hudson has one dynamo voice. It’s full of power, but I felt like she tried to jazz everything up too much, or to put that whole black …
Mork & Mindy: Mork’s Greatest Hit
One of the interesting things about the old Mork & Mindy series is how it managed to look at normal everyday life and turn it into satire. The episode “Mork’s Greatest Hit” is a great example of this.
In our culture, we admire those who will use violence if it …
Star Trek: Once Upon a Planet TV Show
One of the classic Star Treks was called Shore Leave and had Doctor McCoy having a run in with Alice in Wonderland and the very late white rabbit. This animated 1973 outing, Star Trek: Once Upon a Planet, has the Enterprise returning to the planet for another period …
Fireball XL5: Planet 46
Fireball XL5: Planet 46 premiered on October 28,1962 and introduced the United States audience to this British import from the mind of Gerry Anderson. It’s a science fiction series done not with actors, but with supermarionation. In other words, these are advanced puppets, and who knew they’d …
“Charmed” Season 1 Episode 2: I’ve Got You Under My Skin
The second episode of the TNT series “Charmed” of their first season entitled “I’ve got you under my skin” was not only suspenseful but very entertaining. I really enjoyed getting to know the three Hallowell sister’s even better and see how their powers are causing not only strength between …
Star Trek: Arena TV Show
Star Trek: Arena is another solid show that is so enjoyable to watch. I’ve always remembered this show. Okay, well, as a Trekker, I remember them all as I’ve seen them all more times than I can count. However, this one sticks in the mind more …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Abra and the Psychic Pokemon (Episode)
“Abra and the Psychic Pokemon” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. This is the first episode of a three episode story arc that focuses on Ash’s attempts to win his third badge. The story arc is handled pretty well and is entertaining thanks to the Sabrina character …
Sable: Evangelist
Sable: Evangelist is the third of seven episodes of this series spawned by a comic book character. It’s all about Nicholas Flemming aka Jon Sable who has a soft spot for children, largely due to his own family tragedy. Lewis Van Bergen is incredibly boring in this …
The Simpsons: Tree House of Horror XX
I have watched pretty much every Simpsons Tree House of Horrors episode since the first one and have been very disappointed with some of the more recent episodes. My biggest complaint is they often use some sort of movie spoof of a film that isn’t even a horror movie …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: The Card
I don’t normally pay much attention to Spongebob Squarepants when my daughter has it on and usually just find something else to do instead. However, she had an episode on the other day, The Card, that was pretty funny.
Basically, Spongebob wants a rare card that Patrick has found and, …
M*A*S*H: Period of Adjustment
Early on in M*A*S*H: Period of Adjustment from the eighth season of this masterful dramedy, B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) gets a letter from his wife, telling him about how they met Radar O’Reilly at the airport as planned. At first, B.J. is happy, until he reads the part …
Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer: Dead on a Dime TV show
Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer: Dead on a Dime was an episode from the first season of this private eye detective drama. It guest starred Barbara Horan and Allan Miller. I’ve always enjoyed seeing Miller, dating back to the late 60’s when he was one of the main …

Seinfeld
Seinfeld is a show that my husband and I enjoy watching, even though it has been over for years and you can only catch reruns. It is always good for a laugh.
The show centers around a comedian, Jerry, and his life in New York City, surrounded by his friends, …
Beast Wars - The Agenda, Part 1
Beast Wars - The Agenda, Part 1 is part one in a four part story. This episode features a former Decepticon turned Predicon, Ravage, being sent to capture Megatron and bring him back to Cybertron to be held accountable for his criminal actions. The Maximals had been expecting a …
Asia Bagus
A few years back, there was this particular singing talent show, quite like American Idol and it’s on my local TV channel called Asia Bagus. Well, during those times, it was super fun to watch shows like this, and it was quite hard to get a singing talent show …

Law & Order SVU
Finally. After almost a full season, Law & Order: SVU seems to be getting back to solving cases and eliminating a lot of the side-stories.
Last night’s episode Choreographed was fantastic. It involved the return of Olivia Benson as Elliott Stabler’s partner and focused on solving a crime, not the …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Exile TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Exile is the 27th entry of this intriguing series which stars Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Lee Crane who serve aboard the Seaview, a nuclear submarine. After two mad scientist shows, we’re back …
