Destination Truth: King Tut’s Curse/Swamp Ape
The more I see the show Destination Truth, the more I find myself liking it. None of the episodes have lived up to the first one I watched but they are still pretty close.
Last night’s episode “King Tut’s Curse/Swamp Ape” was probably the best thing I watched last night.
The …
M*A*S*H: The Joker Is Wild
One thing that I remember about the final season of this great series is that they mentioned in some way just about all of the early cast members, giving everyone a final nod. I always thought that was classy. In M*A*S*H: The Joker Is Wild, it’s Trapper …

Smallville Season 7 episode 9
This episode of Smallville like most of them started out on a light hearted note that went sour. It’s Christmas and instead of celebrating the gang are trying to stop a bomb that’s strapped to Chloe exploding.
For me some parts of this episode were boring. Lois is …
Secret Girlfriend episode 1
This week, Comedy Central premeired it’s newest show, “Secret Girlfriend” after the season premiere of “South Park”. We decided to give it a chance. It’s interesting, the format of the show is a first person view from a nameless character who is supposed to be you. …
Star Trek the Next Generation TV Episode: Hollow Pursuits
Last night, I was flipping through channels on TV and came across a Star Trek the Next Generation episode that is among my favorites from the series (at least of the ones I have actually watched); Hollow Pursuits.
I like this episode for a couple of reasons. First, it has …
Walker Texas Ranger
Walker Texas Ranger was a series from 1990’s that is still shown in syndication.
Martial Arts star Chuck Norris plays Cordell Walker, a Texas Ranger.
In the earlier episodes, Chuck Norris, Walker and his partner Trivet(Played by Clarence Gilyard), were the ones going after criminals along with Prosecutor Alex Cayhill ( …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Harvest
The second episode of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Series isn’t too bad but, like the first, is hindered a bit in terms of helping us learn the major plot points and characters at the expense of the overall plot.
While I actually liked this episode a bit more than …
One Tree Hill
I have been watching One Tree Hill since it first started in 2003. I had just had my first child and was 20 years old. I started watching because I liked the storyline of all the different highschool situations. I could find a character that reminded me of each …
Most Shocking (TruTV)
Crime shows and forensic shows really appeal to me because they showcase the realistic aspect of human nature. But the shows that really amp up the action are the “Most Shocking” programs that feature different aspects of shocking things that happen amongst ordinary citizens. Sometimes …
Game of Thrones:Episode 1: Winter is Coming
I just simply saw the IMDB reviews of the series the Game of Thrones and immediately, I wanted to see it so bad because it had 9.5 rating and great reviews. It is based on a book, but I would really rather watch it than read it so I …

There were several interesting bits included in this featurette. …
That Girl: Beware of Actors Bearing Gifts
This story is full of intentional confusion, and it’s just a hoot to see Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) try to figure it all out.
The guest star is Bruce Hyde, and I just can’t look at Hyde without laughing and thinking about his portrayal as Kevin Riley on Star Trek. …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Surveillance
Synopsis: Emily Deschanel guest stars as a cellist who is attacked and possibly raped in her apartment. While investigating the attack, the detectives discover a bunch of cameras that someone placed in her apartment to monitor her every move.
What I liked about this episode: Well, for one, Deschanel is …
Family Guy: Prick up your ears
Sometimes, the series Family Guy can be a bit over the top. A lot of times, that can take away from the show. Other times, like in the episode “Prick up Your Ears,” it can be a good thing because it was a great way to bring people’s attention …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Journey with Fear TV Show
The fourth episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s fourth and last year on the air was called Journey with Fear. This is a space age outing, with the Seaview launching a rocket of all things. I’d forgotten all about this episode. It ends …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Nineteen —“ Machismo
This episode was set in Mexico. It wasn’t one of my favorites, but I will take two bad episodes out of twenty two. The unsub was killing elderly women. Who kills grandmas? That’s just plain wrong! But I guess that was the point. While it was fun to …
Top Chef: Washington D.C.: Restaurant Wars TV Show
Top Chef: Restaurant Wars was the latest episode for the Washington D.C. season of this reality cooking show. The 2010 cast has spent the season in the nation’s capitol as they vie for the honor of being named the latest Top Chef.
This cast is one of the more …
Dance Your Azz Off (Oxygen)
I have seen the premiere of this show and have some mixed feelings. I know that obesity is a big issue in this country (lame pun). But I am having a hard time believing that the people behind this show aren’t trying to somehow exploit overweight …
How I Met Your Mother: Little Minnesota
“Little Minnesota” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on CBS on December 15, 2008. This was a pretty funny episode of a very consistently funny sit-com.

CSI: New York: Out of the Sky TV Show
CSI: New York: Out of the Sky was just a so so outing in my opinion. I wasn’t particularly captivated by the hour or even intrigued. What was disappointing is that the opening teaser had some promise, but then once it was done, it just droned on …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.4 - Making Amends
The second season seems to be proving itself as a worthy successor to the first so far. Corey Haim takes a big step in the right direction by making apologies to everyone he’s ever worked with or known that he’s burnt bridges with. He does this by putting a …
The Prisoner: Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling
Now this is an intriguing show. The Prisoner: Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling gives star Patrick McGoohan a bit of a rest. Most of the show, his mind is in another man’s body, so all we hear are his thoughts. That’s a nice way …
MacGyver: Ma Dalton
Jack Dalton is back and back as being annoying in this episode of MacGyver called Ma Dalton. I’ve been reminded that when he’s calm and not scheming, he can be a fun character, but when he’s scheming and roping Mac into his crap, I just can’t stand him. …
Super Mario World - The Night Before Cave Christmas
Super Mario World - “The Night Before Cave Christmas” is not quite as memorable or entertaining as the other “holiday themed” episode, namely “Ghosts ‘R’ Us”, but I do like this episode because it is one of the few times in this episode that we actually get to see …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Lobster Man TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s 16th show for its fourth and last year on television was called The Lobster Man and aired in January 1968. Starring Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison, my favorite of the series, as Captain Lee Crane, this show …
Laramie: The Killer Legend TV Show

Family Guy 10-4: Stewie Goes for A Drive
I want to walk outside and scream up at the sky. Asking what has been happening to one of the best cartoons on television. Family Guy has been sinking to new lows with their Season 10, but this episode was just a sinker. It hit the iceberg and the …
Tom and Jerry: - ep: Salt Water Tabby
I don’t think Tom and jerry would ever get old and with so many episodes depicting different backgrounds yet keeping the classic chase. They did wonderfully. One of these episodes which features a different background from the usual house or back yard is called Salt Water Tabby.
The Salt Water …
Game of Thrones Episode 2: The King’s Road
After watching the first episode of the Game of Thrones, I am truly hooked. I really liked how the characters were presented, how the story unfolds, and how they all really wanted a taste of that iron throne.
Game of Thrones Episode 2: The King’s Road now continues to …
Bizare Foods with Andrew Zimmern (Series on the Travel Channel)
The travel channel show, Bizarre Foods with Andre Zimmern, is too great a show to break down into merely one episode. Besides, Andrew Zimmern does the exact same thing in every episode just in different places all over the world. I would have thought that that would be boring …
Highway Patrol: Temptation TV Show
Highway Patrol: Temptation, a third season 1957 episode that focuses on the service of the California Highway Patrol, was an okay episode with some high and low points. As always, the show starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews. In this episode, he’s on the trail of …

The Veil: The Doctors TV Show
One thing I really like about this anthology series called The Veil is the authenticity I feel from it. I think that comes from it being a product of Hal Roach. The sets are very detailed and even remarkable. Even the costumes seem to fit the …

Lost is a television series on every Wednesday evening at 10 pm central on CTV. It gets better and better each time I see it. The mystery involved in this story is so intriguing, it reveals a different scenario for each character every episode. Basically, the passengers of an …

Wagon Train: The Cassie Vance Story

Tales of the Gold Monkey: Boragora or Bust
There were two scenes in Tales of the Gold Monkey: Boragora or Bust that I really liked. The first was Jack the dog exposing a con artist doing the famous shell game. It was pretty funny, especially when he grabbed a shell and ate it. The second …
The Suite Life of Zach and Cody
Ok so I’m lame; when nothing’s on I turn it to the Disney Channel for background noise. I actually like The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. I think all of the actors on the show actually have talent; they carry the show pretty well. The kids that play …
The X-File Excelsis Dei
This is the 35th episode from the popular 90s American television show “The X-Files”. I don’t remember watching this one when I was little, or on the SciFi cable television channel, however, I did watch it a few months ago online. For some reason I did not find this …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Helen of Abajinian
Have Gun - Will Travel: Helen of Abajinian is the sixteenth episode of the first season of this western hit show. I really tried to get into it because it had a light humorous feel to the action, but it couldn’t quite hold my interest for all of …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Halloween
Just when I thought season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer could actually go without a bad episode, I come across the one entitled “Halloween.”
To be fair, this isn’t really a bad episode. It’s just it’s an episode that’s been done before.
Basically, it’s the same Halloween episode other shows …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part II TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part II picks up where Part 1 left off, at a dramatic standoff at a railroad station. The problem is that the end of Part 1 was a little misleading. Now isn’t that unusual? About the only good part was …
Sonic the Hedgehog
Is it any wonder why this show has lasted so long? During the early and mid nineties, there were actually two cartoon shows based off of Sonic the Hedgehog, who, around that time, had just had his second hit game on the SEGA genesis system. One was okay, but …
