Make Me a Super Model
Ever since the success of America’s Next Top Model, several shows have gone out of their way of duplicating the show while trying to add a twist that makes it different.
Other than having male models and letting America decide who is voted off, there really isn’t much difference between …
The Simpsons Season 4 Episode 10 Lisa’s First word
Marge begins to tell the story of Lisa’s First word. So the story dates back to when Marge is pregnant and expecting Lisa. Initially Bart likes the idea of having a another sibling, since he thought he could blame the baby for everything. Meanwhile Homer and Marge are hunting …
The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses
The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses was a very good episode. While Benjamin Bratt owns this show and is hard to ignore, guest star Annabeth Gish stole this episode. She was so strong and effective in her role as the perfect wife and mother, who not so perfectly …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Dark Heart
“Dark Heart” is the 10th episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. The episode stars the Atom and gives him a chance to shine out of the shadows of the better known Justice Leaguers. When faced with an alien invasion, the Justice League makes a special call …
The Simpsons Show
I remember when the Simpsons used to be one of the freshest and funniest shows on television. I would watch it every week and just laugh and laugh because it was funny.
And then it got older, and stopped getting quite as fresh and funny. And now I …
The X-Files Pilot Episode
This was the very first episode of the popular 1990s television series “The X-Files”. I had not gotten to watch this particular episode for years though, however, I managed to be able to watch it recently on a website online. It was the beginning of a very promising show …
Zoobilee Zoo
Even though I was born in the late nineteen eighties, the television show Zoobilee Zoo would still air on a local television channel when I was little in the early nineties. Thus, I would watch it when I was still in kindergarten or possibly when I was a little …
Project Runway Finale, Part 1
Well, just one more episode of Project Runway left since they got through part 1 of the two part season finale.
This episode wasn’t much of a surprise really. Most of the stuff that happened was already revealed in previews; such as the part where Carol Hannah catches a stomach …
Oprah Winfrie Show
Two years ago, when Metro TV broadcasted “Oprah Winfrie Show” for the first time, I didn`t have any idea why people like this program so much. Then, I tried to prove it by sitting nicely in front …
Melrose Place
When I heard Melrose Place was going to be remade I thought it wouldn’t be very good. The thing about Melrose Place and 90210 was they were perfect in the nineties because they reflected the values of culture being pushed to the limits. Today when television has such …
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, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Snare for Murder TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Snare for Murder starts out with the action right away, so there’s no San Francisco scene, which is disappointing. However, what happens is pretty good entertainment. Right from the start, Paladin (Richard Boone) ends up in a mess. He helps …
Voyagers!: Destiny’s Choice
Jon-Erik Hexum and Meeno Peluce star in Voyagers!: Destiny’s Choice wherein their characters of Phineas Bogg and Jeffrey Jones have to convince Franklin Delano Roosevelt to continue with his political dreams.
Much of the story in Destiny’s Choice was, of course, strength of character in the face of adversity. …
The Choir - Episode 1 TV Show
The Choir is a British import in a way as it airs on BBC America. This is a reality program that has a man named Gareth Malone putting together a choir that he hopes will be good enough to perform at the World Choir Games in Japan in …
Weeds
I am a major fan of the showtime series weeds. If you have never watched any of this fantastic show, you really don’t know what you are missing. Asides from being insanely entertaining, it is also emotional and funny!
Nancy Botwin has to start selling marijuana to support her family …
The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid TV Show
The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid is the second show of this new law series that is as much comedy as it is drama. For example, in the opening tease, the first bit has the series leads, Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell, standing below the big, bold billboard …
Breaking Bad (tv series)
One of the television series that I had begun watching very recently was “Breaking Bad”. While I had heard about it a few times, I had never really considered checking it out until one of my family members who has the same taste in television series like me managed …
Exercise TV ( Time Warner Cable )
Exercise TV is hosted by Jake, who is a guru of the fitness world. He has a lot of fitness equiptment with his name on it. He also used to have his own exercise show some years back, and as I said he is the host of Exercise TV. …
Felix in Hollywood cartoon
Recently, I had a chance to watch some classic Felix the Cat cartoons. I used to watch these with great pleasure when growing up. Well, not these specific ones I’m reviewing. These are older ones that I’m seeing for the first time, but there was a …
Gilmore Girls TV Show
Gilmore Girls is a quirky TV show about a single mother and her daughter, the mother being Lorelai (played by Lauren Graham), and the daughter being Rory (played by Alexis Bledel). I absolutely love this show! I enjoy the clever jokes and the drama in the show. Everything that …
South Park: Cartman Gets an Anal Probe
Ahh, the first episode of South Park. For some reason it is so hilarious to watch cut paper in a stop motion episode. This episode received controversy for Cartman’s jokes, the “dildo” scene and Kyle kicking his little brother. However, a bunch of my friends and I actually stayed …
Legend: Fall of a Legend
In this tenth offering of the unique western, Legend, Ernest Pratt gets caught with his pants down and an angry father after him. Oops! Things go from bad to worse when in the getaway, one of Bartok’s fancy weapons is shot off the contraption that Pratt is …
Games
After going through a season filled with a great reality-based hiring process for new assistants, I really expected more from House�s final decision.
The fact he was forced to make his choice was a bit interesting but the doctors dealing with a drugged-out rocker who was more than likely …
American Dad tv show
The first time I saw American Dad going on I honestly thought it was the show Family Guy, since the drawings and themes were a bit similar. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when I found out that this show was also co-created by Seth MacFarlane. I’m not American, neither do …
Naruto Episode 20 Subbed
This episode starts a new arc and goes back to the older comedic style reminiscent of Naruto’s earlier episodes. Sasuke is insulting his two teammates, Naruto is playing ninja with Konohamaru and friends, and Sakura decides to go postal on Naruto and Konohamaru. While running away from Sakura Konohamaru …
Beast Wars - Aftermath
The first episode of the second series of Beast Wars is technically the fourth part in a six parter. This episode picks up directly where the second part of “Other Voices” left off and deals with the aftermath of that episode’s events. First of all, it is obvious that …
Stargate SG-1: Prophecy
This sixth season episode of Stargate SG-1 does nothing for me at all. It’s one of the reasons I just groan through most of the shows. This one is called Prophecy, and it focuses on Jonas Quinn, which may be why I just don’t like it.
The show ties …
Fame: Metamorphosis
Fame: Metamorphosis is the premier of the musical dancing television series which was based on a hit movie. I recall at the time being a little put off by star Debbie Allen’s comments on The Tonight Show that they’d found an even better Coco Hernandez than Irene Cara …
John Doe: Remote Control TV show
John Doe: Remote Control has John (Dominic Purcell) helping Digger (William Forsythe) find out what happened to his blood brother, who supposedly died in an auto accident. There would seem to be more to it since John temporarily sees the brother in color, not to mention a Special Forces …
That Girl: Ann vs. Secretary
That Girl: Ann vs. Secretary is a great show. Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) has yet another secretary. Apparently, Newsview has a secretarial problem because they just can’t keep the same gals hired. This professional helper, though, has a mission that doesn’t just include typing and dictation. …
GirlFriends
Girlfriends is a very funny and cool show. I used to think it was dumb when I first watched it. But then I started liking it. The reason I got into it was because of Persia White. I thought she was very pretty. Then when I started watching the show …
Ghost Hunters: Ghostly House Guest
Well, I’m almost through all the season 3 episodes of Ghost Hunters and have to say I really haven’t been too impressed with the so-called evidence they are collecting.
The one we watched last night, Ghostly House Guest, had some potential. There was a house that was supposedly being haunted by …
The Twilight Zone: The Long Morrow TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Long Morrow is one of the decent season five episodes. In fact, I find it hard to watch, not because of the quality but because I feel so darn bad for the two main characters. It’s a real heartbreaker, one of those fate …
Word World
This is a children’s show on PBS/KCET. The concept is interesting, and unique. In this world, words equal objects. What I mean is that if one puts the letters B A R N together, the word actually becomes a barn, with the letters still clearly visible. …
Oprah’s Big Give Episode 1
It seems like these days everyone has a reality show. Yes, Oprah has joined the reality bandwagon with her show The Big Give. On the first episode airing on Sunday March 2nd 2008, talk show queen Oprah Winfrey handed five groups of two contestants $2,500, a picture of someone …
Ghost Hunters: I am Not Guilty
When I saw the Ghost Hunters episode “I am Not Guilty” was going to visit Dr. Mudd’s house (the doctor who worked on John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated Lincoln), I thought I would get yet another episode that had potential based on the stories surrounding the building but …
Sea Hunt: Gold Below TV Show
Sea Hunt: Gold Below begins with some underwater shots of Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) working with his new assistant, Billy Riker. The reason why Billy is so fun to watch is that he’s played by Jack Hogan. Hogan has a long history of excellent portrayals, including a …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 1, Episode 13: The Blue Spirit
This episode picks up pretty much where the last one left off. After the whole ordeal with the storm, both Sokka and Katara have fallen ill. Aang promises to get them some medicine.
If you thought Sokka was amusing on a regular basis, just wait til you see …
Caprica (TV)
Recently a new television series named “Caprica” has been advertising to be aired on the cable television channel Syfy. I saw it advertise on several cable television channels before I finally decided to watch it too, since when it was advertising I guess I got the wrong impression, and …

Nikita (2010)
Another incarnation of Luc Bessons original film ‘La Femme Nikita’ hit the airwaves this year, with Asian bombshell Maggie Q filling out the title role and surprisingly, its pretty damn good.

Wagon Train: The Myra Marshall Story
This show, Wagon Train: The Myra Marshall Story, isn’t a huge favorite, but it’s still a good one. One of the neat things about the episode is that it sets up the viewer to think one thing, when it’s really something else. Back when this show aired …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Revenger TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Revenger, the third outing for the fifth season of this half hour, black and white western starring Richard Boone, has Paladin going to Yuma, Arizona. To get there, he takes a stagecoach, and it’s a crowded ride. I’m not sure I’ve …
MacGyver: D.O.A.: MacGyver
MacGyver: D.O.A.: MacGyver is a neat little episode where MacGyver gets a nasty case of amnesia and ends up believing that Pete is a terrorist he’s been hunting for years. The face off is really a great bit of angst at the end of the show. It …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Possessed
When we decided to watch Law & Order SVU last night, we didn’t know there was going to be two episodes instead of just one. So, instead of going to bed by 9, we ended up staying up an extra hour to watch the second episode called “Possessed.”
At first, …
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 …
