The Andy Griffith Show: Sheriff Barney TV Show
From its second season of many years on the air, The Andy Griffith Show: Sheriff Barney is a good outing. It’s not one of my huge favorites, but it’s a solid show that has plenty of laughs to it, and that’s what successful comedy is all about. …
Laramie: Trail Drive
Jim Davis, perhaps best known as the patriarch on the nighttime soap opera Dallas, guest starred in the Trail Drive episode of the western Laramie. This first season episode has always been a favorite. The show opens with an impressive gun duel between Davis’ character of Hake …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Shoplifters TV Show
In March 1964, The Andy Griffith Show: The Shoplifters aired, and it’s a pretty hysterical half hour of entertainment. It certainly has its moments anyway.
It begins with more of Andy and Barney gossiping in their patrol car as they sit and watch the townsfolk walking by. It’s …
Samurai Jack show
I love to watch cartoon shows, and I just enjoy it very much. Few years back a new show came on “Cartoon Network” channel called “Samurai Jack”. When I first watch this show I felt love with this cartoon. It is different from all kind of “traditional” carton show …
Stargate SG1: The First Commandment
This episode dealt with a Colonel from Stargate Command who actually fell for the, “You’re a God,” rhetoric that primitive people always spouted when teams came through the Stargate.
Seems another Stargate team was sent to a planet and never returned. When SG1 arrives, they find out from one …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Q Who?
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Q Who? is a season two episode and is, I feel, one of the series’ best episodes and one of the greatest Star Trek episodes ever made. What makes this episode so enjoyable? Well, for one, it conveys the dangers of the unknown …
Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Race
Close to perfection: that’s what Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Race is. This second season episode is pivotal to the Stargate SG-1 lore, and it’s extremely well done.
In this show, Jack O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) accidentally downloads the knowledge of the Ancients. Unfortunately, he can’t process it. …
Sable: Toy Gun
Nicholas Flemming is an author and comic strip creator who doubles as a mercenary/vigilante named Jon Sable, hence the name of the series — Sable. He’s supposed to be some kind of superhero, apparently all begun due to some real life event that was laced in tragedy. …

Then …
Bold and the Beautiful
Bold and the Beautiful is my favourite soapie. I first started watching it when I was just 16 years old and I have been watching it ever since, I am now 29 years old.
The best thing about this show is that is the 13 years that I have watched …
South Park: Pinewood Derby
As South Park gets older, you can really start to see the wrinkles forming. The episode “Pinewood Derby” is a prime example of how far the writers now have to go to do something the show has not done before. As with the majority of the newer episodes, I …
Best Dance Crew
The other day I was watching mtv and I caught a couple of episodes of Randy Jackson Presents Americas best dance crew. I really enjoyed watching it and I watched the live auditions for season two and the first episode of season two. I enjoy watching this show because …
Aeon Flux
I can remember watching the show Aeon Flux on late night MTV. It was an intriguing show at the time about an undercover agent on various missions. I was so pleased when I saw that a movie was going to made and Charlize Theron was the star. I think …
That Girl: There’s Nothing to Be Afreud of But Freud Himself
That Girl: There’s Nothing to Be Afreud of But Freud Himself is one of those shows that I’m not so crazy about. Not every episode can be a winner, and while there is plenty to laugh about, this ink blot joke just doesn’t quite capture my funny bone …
Supernatural: Season One
Supernatural is a television series about two brothers who travel around the US killing supernatural entities who attack humans who have no idea of what is really going in the world. That’s the basic idea of Supernatural, but the series itself is so much more.
I wasn’t really grabbed by …
Stargate SG-1: A Matter of Time
Stargate SG-1: A Matter of Time isn’t one of my favorite episodes of the series, probably because Michael Shanks is only in one scene, the last one. This is because his girlfriend had given birth to his child, and he took some time off. For me, Daniel …
Outlaw: In Re: Curtis Farwell TV Show
In Re: Curtis Farwell was the fourth episode of Outlaw, a show that has sadly been halted in production after three airings. It hasn’t been canceled as yet, NBC opting to air the five other shows, of which In Re: Curtis Farwell is one, that have already been …

Daisy of Love (VH1) show
I told myself that I wouldn’t get caught up in another one of those reality shows featuring a single pseudo-celebrity looking for love. But alas, I found myself watching “Daisy of Love.” I wasn’t familiar with who she was exactly, only that she came yet …
The Drew Carey Show TV show
The Drew Carey show is a situational half hour comedy series. I watched this show on and off for a couple of years and I neevr really got why it was so popular.
Drew Carey might be a good comedian but he is not cut out to be a …
The Simpson’s TV Episode: The Day the Violence Died
I ended up watching a re-run of the show The Simpson’s last night, The Day the Violence Died. I have seen this one before, but this was the first time in a long time and it was actually kind of nice seeing it again.
Basically, in this episode, Bart and …
House: Here Kitty
Well, the television series House seems to finally be getting back to interesting plots. I still wouldn’t put the more recent episodes in the same class as earlier ones but tonight’s episode “Here Kitty” managed to be kind of cute while making you think.
House has a patient come into …
Lipstick and Dynamite
I’m not sure what I think of the women of Lipstick and Dynamite. Their story is one of the first women who were professional wrestlers. If you want to see a story about truly strong women, in many ways then this is the perfect story.
Wrestling, while staged, is certainly not …
True Blood
True Blood is the new HBO hit series based on the acclaimed fantasy vampire series by Charlaine Harris. I first saw the show after a co-worker prompted me to watch it, even though I had never read the books (there were eight books out at the time the show …
The Game Season 4 TV show
The Game Season 4 aired on the BET network in January 2011. This is the fourth season in production of this show and I for one am glad that BET brought it back for another season. The Game is a sitcom about football wives and husbands. It follows a …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Maggie O’Bannion
Have Gun - Will Travel: Maggie O’Bannion was another one of those episodes where Paladin just happens into a drama that isn’t really of his own making. In this case, he’s just riding along when he’s set up and ultimately knocked off his horse. His clothes and …

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives
Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives has become a popular travel show on Food Network, which is hosted by Guy Fieri. Guy travels around state to state (on recommendation of food places) in his candy apple red, 1967 SS Camaro convertible. I hate to see it, but sometimes the car is …
Buzz Aldrin’s debut on Dancing With The Stars season 10
I think watching Buzz Aldrin’s first dance on Dancing With The Stars season 10 was a surprising treat. I’ve followed a lot of the hype leading up to the show, and I didn’t have any high expectations of his dancing skills, but I was surprised, because I think …
Ghost Hunters: Inhuman Entity
Well, I waited for the new Ghost Hunters episode last night and was finally rewarded. Unfortunately, I think I liked the re-runs leading up to it a bit better.
The first case was involving a family that was being terrorized by a spirit and I will admit there was some evidence …
Diagnosis Murder: Left-Handed Murder TV Show
In my first review for season three of Diagnosis Murder, I included the good and the bad of the season three changes. There were a couple of things I didn’t mention then that I saved for now, as I review the season three ender, Left-Handed Murder.
First, there were …
Third Rock from the Sun TV Episode: I am Dick Pentameter!
Well, that was a fun way to spend lunch; watching an old episode of the show Third Rock From the Sun; I am Dick Pentameter!
I never really watched this show when it was on the air but this episode is one I kind of regretted not seeing before. Basically, …
Adam-12: Log 16: A Child in Danger
What I like about Adam-12: Log 16: A Child in Danger is the cute little banter that occurs throughout the episode about Jim Reed’s baby boy. Little Jimmy has a fever, and his godfather, Pete Malloy, is overly worried. He keeps trying to get Reed to get …
Smallville: Identity
“Identity” is the seventh episode of the eighth season of Smallville on the CW. This is a great episode because addresses how reckless Clark is zipping around Metropolis without taking any steps to guard his identity.
Jimmy Olson steps up to the plate and figures out what almost everyone …
Only Fools and Horses —“ Stage Fright
Stage Fright is episode 3 of the 7th and final series of Only Fools and Horses. A local club owner gets in touch with Del boy as he is stuck for an act to perform on his dear old mum’s birthday the following evening. Without Raquel’s knowledge, …
Legend: Custer’s Next to Last Stand
Custer’s Next to Last Stand is the fourth episode of this Richard Dean Anderson futuristic western from May 1995. As many of the shows do, this one combines some realism with their fiction. As you can tell from the title, it’s George Custer who gets the honor …
Stargate SG-1: Lifeboat
It took seven years for Producer Robert C. Cooper to admit Michael Shanks could act (duh), and the admission came with Stargate SG-1: Lifeboat, a season seven entry that was a showcase for Shanks’ enormous acting talent.
In this show, Daniel becomes a lifeboat of sorts to several other consciousness’, …
Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete Second Season
Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete Second Season holds all thirteen episodes from the second season. Every episode looks crisp and clear, and the audio quality is impressive. There’s no grain or static or background noise to interfere with your enjoyment of these episodes. Unfortunately, what may interfere with …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 4: Daleks in Manhattan
The Doctor and Martha arrive in the TARDIS in New York circa November 1930. Considering the Doctor’s been steadfast about taking Martha home, I’m not sure why they came here. One could argue that the TARDIS just took them there as they seem to have no knowledge …
Smallville Season 8 Episode 3
To me this episode of Smallville was a bit bizarre. The story was that Oliver Queen had been poisoned and only had twelve hours to live so Clark and all his buddies had to find out what was wrong with him and find an antidote.
It brought up …
Stargate SG-1: Politics
Stargate SG-1: Politics continues the season 1 ending arc with the first of the annual ‘clips’ shows. Essentially, for budget purposes, one episode of SG-1 per season is some kind of show where the bulk of the story is shown using clips of past episodes. The new …
Kiteretsu
“Kiteretsu” is one of the very old Japanese cartoon show, and it is running for over 35 years now, and it is very popular among children. When I was child I used to love this show, because it was full of fun, and full of scientific wonders. “Kiteretsu” is …
The 100, TV Show
I was recommended this show by a great friend of mine who is obsessed with it. I’ve being ignoring her for a while now, but I finally decided to watch it after she told me a little bit of what happened in an episode. This show is from CW, and …
MacGyver: Deadly Dreams
Soap opera diva Kim Zimmer of the Guiding Light guest stars in this season four episode of MacGyver entitled Deadly Dreams. She plays Kate Murphy, a tough cop who has recently solved a series murder that involved a very strong-minded psychopathic serial killer named Dr. Zito. After …
TV land awards
Nick at night TV land awards is one show they certainly could do without. Not really without but rewritten instead of having the most stupid categories for classic television. Categories such as Best Braces or Best superhero are so ridiculous. These categories do not uphold the integrity of …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Family
Willow’s girlfriend Tara has been around for some time now but has always been a bit vague in terms of her past. That’s why I actually liked the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Family.
We learn a bit more about Tara’s family, a group of witches who seem to treat women …
That 70s Show: Series Finale
I pretty much stopped watching the series That 70s Show after Eric and Kelso left. But, I have been managing to catch some of the later episodes after work and finally got to see the series finale. I have to say it was pretty impressive.
Since the show takes place …
TV Series: CSI
I began watching the tv series “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” in it’s first season. I loved the show immediately, and have become an avid follower of the series.
My favorite thing about the series is the creativity. The cases all have such different circumstances, the writers tell the story beautifully. …
The Golden Girls: Season 1
I laughed my butt off when I watched the first season of Golden Girls. All of the characters seemed so undeveloped at the time. I don’t mean the acting skills, but in how the actresses came to “know” their characters.
The pilot always cracks me up. Blanche, played by Rue …
