City Homicide (Australian TV Series)
I follow this Australian police drama which deals with the homicides that an Australian police team of investigators try to solve. The homicides are complex, and most are not set in black in white. I struggled with the accent for several episodes, but now I find their accents interesting, …
Shrek the Halls
This is the second year ABC has had the Christmas special Shrek the Halls on and the first year I got a chance to sit down and watch the entire thing.
It’s a cute special but not really anything overly impressive when compared to some of the other Christmas specials …
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 16- Brother’s Keeper
This episode is a bit different from the rest. There are no new points to the story. Instead the entire episode is used as a flashback on the events that had lead to the beginning of the series. It tells the stories of the dominant characters in the story …
Wagon Train: The Stark Bluff Story
Wagon Train: The Stark Bluff Story just didn’t do anything for me at all. This is an episode from season seven of Wagon Train. It was one of the ninety minute, color episodes. Scott Miller as Duke Shannon gets the brunt of the story, and frankly, …
Bam’s Unholy Union
Last night I watched Bam’s Unholy Union on MTV, they were running a marathon of this show starring Bam Margera and his fiance( then) now Wife Melissa Rothchild, I think thats her name anyhow.
I have been a fan of Bam for quite sometime now. I have every season of …
Frasier: And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon
Again, I haven’t watched Frasier in a while until tonight. But, they had back-to-back episodes on tonight so I thought I would take the time to watch the re-run “And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon.”
I had to piece somethings together on this one because it is part …
DC Cupcakes: Greek Festival TV Show
DC Cupcakes: Greek Festival is the third episode of a new series on The Learning Channel, a channel I’d pretty much stopped watching considering their insistence on stuffing the Gosselins down America’s throat. However, I’m liking this show. Here are some highlights from my point of view.
–Sophie …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Thirteen—“ Poison
Poisoning is probably the worst way to go. Because you don’t know what it is that killed you. All you know is that you are sick. So this episode really freaked me out. It showed what happens when the media gets a hold of something and doesn’t report it …
Voyagers!: The Day the Rebs Took Lincoln
Voyagers!: The Day the Rebs Took Lincoln is a fun outing for this freshman series that treats viewers to a look at American history. The concept is that two voyagers go through time to fix things that go wrong and make sure that history remains on track. …
Birds of Prey episode 4: Three Birds and a Baby
At first, this episode seems like it’s going to be a piece of light-hearted filler as the plot involves the trio of super-heroines suddenly find themselves taking care of a child who was saved by Helena during her patrol.
Criminals may be no match for these women, but they find …
October Road Show
When ABC launched October Road as a mid-season replacement series last year, I was hooked from the very first episode. It starts out approximately ten years ago with two of the main characters in bed saying “goodbye - for now”. It seems young Nick Garrett is heading to …
Times Now News Channel
Times Now is an English News Channel of India. I am a regular audience of Times Now. It is the best news channel of India because of the depth of issues that it covers and sheer impartiality in its news selection.
Times Now has helped me enormously in enhancing my …
Masters of Horror Series
Masters of Horror was a television series that aired on Showtime for two seasons. Since Showtime is a pay channel (and fairly expensive in my area), I didn’t see the episodes when they first aired. Instead I purchased the episodes as they were released on DVD, which happened at …
Birds of Prey episode 8: Lady Shiva
This episode puts focus on Barbara as an old enemy from her past life as Batgirl seemingly returns from the grave. Even if it was just a flashback to showcase the backstory, it was still nice to see Barbara as Batgirl again.
Said enemy is Lady Shiva, …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: Affirmative Action
Larry’s on form here in this first season episode as he yet again quarrels with Lewis, insults a black doctor in an attempt to be “affable” and is labelled a bon-a-fide racist by a would be employee.
After losing Cheryl’s prescription for a much needed dermatological remedy; Larry is …
American Idol Season 7: Dallas
American Idol is staring a brand new season and this season is starting out with a splash. The Dallas audition had some great talents and some that are just plain weird. My favorite out of the two hour show is the guy that auditioned last. He wore a white …
Due South: Say Amen
Due South: Say Amen is a story that has been done before, in western genres and all other types of dramas. That said, it’s still fairly well done and is entertaining.
The one thing that really makes no sense, though, concerns the character of Inspector Meg Thatcher. We …
Star Trek: Operation - Annihilate! TV Show
From April 1967, Star Trek: Operation - Annihilate! is the final show of the first season of this science fiction classic from the mind of Gene Roddenberry. It finally gives us a relative of one of the regulars, even though he dies before we meet him. What …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Regis Philbin
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Regis Philbin proved to be much more interesting than I thought it was going to be. I loved the opening remark when Shatner said something to the effect of, “We’ve known each other 40 years, but we really don’t know each other.”
Regis talked a bit …
The Cleaner: Five Little Words
The Cleaner: Five Little Words is an intriguing episode from the show’s first season. It’s one that is full of flashbacks where we see some of what William Banks (Benjamin Bratt) has gone through as he battled drugs in the past. We get to see how he …
That 70s Show: Won’t be Fooled Again
Well, that was a cute episode of That 70s Show; Won’t be Fooled Again.
There are two story lines that were worth following in this one. First, Donna forgets to take one of her birth control pills and, before too long, everyone learns there’s a chance she might be pregnant, …

The Soup
The E! television production The Soup, starring Joel McHale, is an incredibly fun and hilarious half hour of television. It is essentially a venue for McHale and his team of interns (the staff of this show is impressively small) to take a look at the past week in …
Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV Episode: Don’t Come Back Alive
I’ve had the Alfred Hitchcock song stuck in my head for the past couple of days for no apparent reason. So, I decided it must be a sign that I should start watching Alfred Hitchcock presents again and loaded it back into my Netflix Instant Watch Queue.
The baby had …
The Virginian: Bitter Autumn TV Show
The 8th outing of The Virginian’s sixth season on the air was one of transition, although that fact wasn’t really communicated as part of the 90 minute episode. Entitled Bitter Autumn, the story did deal with loss, but that loss had nothing to do with the real life …
Street Hawk: A Second Self
By accident, I ended up watching Street Hawk somewhat in reverse. Thus, I have actually just watched all of the other episodes and now definitely declare that A Second Self is absolutely the best of the 13. It had top notch acting, a great story (though I’ll …
Person of Interest (crime drama television series)

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
I watched this series a year or two ago. I bought the DVD a few days ago as it was on offer. This is the kind of show, which I feel, no matter how many times you watch it, it’ll still tickle your funny bone.
The story is a …

Harper’s Island Episode 9 is more exciting than the previous one. This one is more dark and mysterious for me. The fact that the killer is lurking out there and anytime is trying to kill and get more victims make this a more exciting watch than the previous …
Psych: Let’s Get Hairy

Extreme Couponing (tv series)
Extreme Couponing is one of those television series that I don’t necessarily love enough to go out of my way to see, but I might watch if a few episodes if nothing else is on. I can imagine that just watching a reality television series about people who dedicate …

TIVO
If you have never owned a TIVO system that believe me this is one thing that I love more then anything in the world. The Tivo system attaches to your TV and works much like a VCR which stays at the top of your TV. Essentially, the TIVO will …
That 70s Show: Fez dates Donna
I happened to turn on a re-run of That 70s Show this afternoon; Fez Dates Donna and found it was absolutely hillarious.
This episode had Fez pretending to be Donna’s girlfriend to avoid some former girlfriend who is stalking him. During that time, you have Eric feeling jealous and going …

Sea Hunt: Beyond Limits TV Show
Sea Hunt: Beyond Limits aired toward the end of the third season, back in September 1960. I am amazed that I tend to enjoy this show as much as I do in reruns because up until it started airing on ThisTV, the whole concept bored me. While …
12 Corazones
There is a new tv show that has gotten my attention, the show is called twelve hearts, and its sort of a dating show. The way it works its kind weird, there are male contestants, and female contestants, there are 4 male contestants they all line up, and …
That Girl: There Was a Time Ann Met a Pie Man
That Girl: There Was a Time Ann Met a Pie Man is an episode I’ve always remembered, mainly because of the central theme of the show and the publicity that it received when it first aired on ABC. While actress Ann Marie has made progress in her career, …
Will and Grace
Will and Grace is a sitcom on TV. It is about a couple of gay guys and their friends. I personally dislike this show and feel that it demonstrates a lack of writing ability for the TV writers today. They seem to have run out of ideas for decent …
Avatar: The Last Airbender (cartoon)
I’m the kind of person who is all about meditation and the benefits we can all reap from it, so when I discovered that the kid show: the Avatar is about a monk I thought it was one of the coolest things on TV. That’s one cool thing that …

Whoopi: Sins of the Sister TV Show
The Whoopi show’s last episode was Sins of the Sister, which aired on April 20, 2004. The show started out strong, but it had some mistakes in its makeup that made it more of an average comedy, and it just didn’t work in the long run. I …
Blacke’s Magic: A Friendly Game of Showdown
I enjoyed watching Blacke’s Magic: A Friendly Game of Showdown, in part because of the wonderful guest cast. In this episode, a man’s invention, a voice activated toy called Dynamite Danny, is believed to have gone up in flames. In reality, it’s been stolen by a rival …
