The Following is a powerful drama/thriller/mystery television series written by Kevin Williamson.The series is about a FBI agent, Ryan hardy (Kevin Bacon) who is called out of retirement to catch the diabolical serial killer, Joe Caroll (Joe Purefoy.)I learned the show was more about a cult type of serial …

M*A*S*H: Yankee Doodle Doctor features Ed Flanders, best known for the medical drama St. Elsewhere, as a film director for the Army who is making a documentary about the MASH units under the command of General Clayton (Herb Voland). Of course, it’s a very glossed over review that …
One Tree Hill
I never saw the original run of One Tree Hill when everyone was in high school. I only saw two episodes of the show when they in high school the rest I have seen in flashback from the shows current run. I didn’t actually begin to watch One Tree …
Family Guy: The Fat Guy Strangler
You know, I could have sworn the show Family Guy has been on the air for a few years now. So, why is it, whenever I watch a re-run at 6:30 or 10:30 it is usually one of only about a dozen episodes?
Last night was one I have seen …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.4 - Surprise Party
Is it me or is it more than a coincidence that Corey Feldman receives the poster for his new movie, “The Birthday”, on Corey Haim’s 35th birthday? Hmm… Oh wait, this is reality television, everything is like 50% planned or something, right? So yeah, in that case, it does …
Kaleidoscope on Ice
Presented on Thanksgiving Day in the United States, Kaleidoscope on Ice was the best ice skating show I’ve watched in years. Now that may be because one of my favorite favorites, Scott Hamilton, skated for the first time in six years. Scott has survived two different cancers …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Road to Wickenberg
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Road to Wickenberg, from season two of the western, has drama, romance, and a few chuckles along the way. There’s also a really good supporting group of guest stars in this episode, and they all play relatives. Harry Carey Jr. …
Good Morning Kuya TV Show
This is to give comment/review on the tv program i just saw today at around 8:30 a.m. It is entitled: “Good Morning Kuya” of UNTV 37 in the Philippines. I saw it on Channel 99 of Destiny Cable, a Philippine cable provider. The reception was somehow unclear, oh …
Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse
Classical Disney cartoons were always my favourite ones. I like these 2D ones much better than those 3D ones that they are making today bout Mickey Mouse and his friends. I guess a 2D cartoon brings me back in my childhood and for me a 2D cartoon is a …
Masterchef: Episode 1 TV Show
It was a very spontaneous decision to watch the first episode of Masterchef that was on the Fox network last night. I dislike Gordon Ramsey greatly. He’s a loudmouth, obnoxious man, at least that’s how he presents himself to be on television. I just can’t stomach …
Civil Wars: Daveja-Vu All Over Again TV Show
Civil Wars was one of my favorite TV shows when it aired. I was highly disappointed when it was canceled so quickly. The show starred Mariel Hemingway, Peter Onorati (who was clearly etched on my brain for Cop Rock, which I adored), Debi Mazar, and Alan Rosenberg, …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Deadliest Game TV Show

One of the elder vampires pays Dr. Murdoch a visit to his office and warns him about the stirring and about …
Beast Wars - Law of the Jungle
Beast Wars - Law of the Jungle is an intriguing episode because it in part deals with the unintended consequences of war and how war sometimes claims the lives of the innocent. This is one of the first season’s more serious episodes and the material actually involves some light …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 8: Ice
This is regarded as a classic episode, and that regard is well warranted. The episode does everything just about perfectly. It builds up tension and suspense, gives the characters a unique adversary, and allows the characters to really shine as they are pushed to the edge by …
X-Files season one Episode: Squeeze TV show
The X-Files was a well-known TV show that ran in the 1990s. It featured actors David Coveney and Gillian Anderson as special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. These two agents were assigned to the X-Files — cases that the FBI was investigating that concerned paranormal phenomena …
Diagnosis Murder: Sister Michael Wants You TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Sister Michael Wants You guest stars Delta Burke in a delightful role as Sister Michael, an old friend of Mark Sloan’s who has a powerful punch and a lot of street know how. Sloan is portrayed by Dick Van Dyke, of course. In the story, …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Hush
Got to admit, after a disappointing episode before hand (Something Blue), we finally got an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that is very memorable; “Hush.”
I mean, how many other series have attempted to do an entire episode where none of the actors could speak a word (in this …
Ghost Hunters Academy Season 2 Finale
Well, I have to say this about Ghost Hunters Academy; they really don’t have a whole lot of episodes. The show just came on the air not that long ago and they had the season finale last night.
The finale itself wasn’t too bad, the remaining three cadets got to …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 14

King of the Lost World
I have no idea why I decided to watch King of the Lost World on the Science Fiction channel last night, probably because there wasn’t much on. However, I have to say it was one of the stupidest movies I’ve ever seen.
When I watched King of the Lost World, …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: House of Hoarders TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: House of Hoarders took a look at something that is getting a lot of attention in today’s world, and that is the topic of hoarders. Hoarders are essentially those who cannot throw anything away. As much as some of us consider ourselves to …
Hogan’s Heroes: Crittendon’s Commandos
I was able to watch two episodes of Hogan’s Heroes at lunch today, including one that was kind of funny; Crittendon’s Commandos.
This one had the return of Col. Crittendon, who I last saw in an episode where he didn’t know the POW camp Hogan and his men were stationed …
Made: Cheerleaders
I’m clearly from an older generation as I’d never even heard of the Made tv series until very early this morning when I watched an episode for the very first time. In reality, the show has been on for ten years according to the website. Of course, …
Spongebob Squarepants:Bubble Buddy
I finally got to see an episode of Spongebob Squarepants I haven�t seen before; Bubble Buddy. And, I have to admit, it was pretty funny.
This episode features SpongeBob creating an imaginary friend out of his bubbles simply because he has nobody to play with. He then goes around town …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Taylor’s Woman TV Show

The Simpsons: Jazzy and the Pussy Cats
Well, who knew Bart’s trouble making tendencies could be turned into something good? The Simpsons episode “Jazzy and the Pussycats” shows Lisa isn’t the only one in the family with the ability to be a talented musician.
This is actually a funny episode. Bart makes trouble at church and, embarassed …
MacGyver: The Challenge
Cuba Gooding Jr. stands out in this fourth season episode of MacGyver called The Challenge. Of note off the top is that the show was directed by Dana Elcar, who doesn’t appear in the episode. Elcar did an outstanding job with this show. Not only did …
Here Come the Brides: A Christmas Place
Here Come the Brides: A Christmas Place is a huge favorite show of mine. It has such heart that it fills my soul. It’s really well done. However, there is a continuity error. The second show of the series was all about the brides demanding …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Descent, Part Two
The only reason I prefer Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Descent”, Part Two over part one is mainly because part two has more action. The story still makes very little sense, but at least there is some action to the story. The action I am referring to takes …
The Twilight Zone: Little Girl Lost TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Little Girl Lost presents a really different story and it’s pretty intriguing. It begins very routinely with parents awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of their little girl crying. When they check on her, she’s nowhere to be found, …
Matlock: The Suspect TV Show
Andy Griffith had another successful series on his hand with his Matlock series where he played Georgia lawyer, Ben Matlock. He was country and down home, but he loved a good paycheck, too. This episode is entitled The Suspect and guest starred Brynn Thayer. Brynn is …
Family Guy: 8×07: Jerome is the New Black
Another good episode from Family Guy, this time focusing on the void left by recently departed Cleveland. A situation we’ve been waiting for a while to see rectified.
After some funny enough attempts to fill the gap, the gang finally settle on black guy “Jerome”, an old flame of …
M*A*S*H: White Gold
The problem with M*A*S*H: White Gold is that it’s too much of a vehicle for guest star Edward Winter who returns as Colonel Flagg, the rather odd CIA agent who often ends up at the 4077th unit. I was really surprised by how much time Winter got, even …
Psych: The Devil is in the Details—¦.and the upstairs bedroom
Well, I have to admit, I had my doubts about last Friday’s episode of Psych. But, it turned out to be a somewhat interesting episode.
Shawn and Gus are asked to investigate a girls suicide at a Catholic School and whether or not it was the result of a possession …
The Virginian: Dark Destiny TV show
Season two was winding down for The Virginian when the episode Dark Destiny aired. One interesting thing that I’ve noticed about these second season episodes. Once Randy Boone joined the cast, I like them better. I noted in many of my first season reviews that I …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Snowball Effect
It is actually snowing in Bikini Bottom, because there is an iceberg that is over the town. This rarely happens so Spongebob and Patrick try and take advantage of the situation and have a snowball fight with each other. They are having a lot of fun in the yards, …
The Twilight Zone: The Bard TV Show
From May 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Bard is not a show that I like very much. It never captures my interest or draws me into any part of the story. Usually when this episode pops up on television, I change the channel or even turn the …
Highway Patrol: Hot Rod TV Show
Highway Patrol: Hot Rod, the seventh episode of season two, focused on two brothers, Tommy and Harry Burke, who commit a robbery and then make their getaway in a hot rod that they believe is faster than any police car out there. Naturally, the driver goes too fast …

Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami
I watched the Kardashians on E! network and rather enjoyed the show because there are so many of them. I have also watched “Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami” and enjoyed it because these two are such characters. In any case, the show does not feature Kim (the …
Sitcom The Office
To me, The Office is by far one of the funniest sitcoms I’ve ever watched. It’s about an office (of course)which is named Dunder Mifflin that sells paper products. What I like most about the show, is simply the outrageous things Michael Scott says or does. Michael (who is …
Court TV
Within the past year, I seem to have gotten farther and farther away from watching mainstream television shows, and I, for one reason or another, have become more interested in Court TV. Maybe I am just tiring of redundant television concepts, or maybe it is because I am …
South Park - Coon 2 Hindsight
I was not expecting Matt and Trey to touching on the Coon’s story again, but it was a pleasant surprise. I thought it was a funny story to begin with, so having the Coon return was interesting. I am always seem to be …
The Simpsons
The Simpsons is an animated comedy about the life of a family. I find the show to be funny, witty and hugely entertaining.
The main characters on The Simpsons are Marge, Homer, Bart and Lisa and every half hour episode focuses on something happening in their lives which often …
Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 4
Flipping through the channels yesterday, I landed on a show that surprised me. It had a couple of recognizable faces on it, though they were older. With time, I realized I was watching Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 4.
I wasn’t really sure what Confessions of …
Lone Star: Pilot TV Show
The much hyped pilot episode of Lone Star was directed by Peter Horton, so I assumed off the bat that it should be a riveting and quality show. In reality, it was. It included a couple of memorable lines, even. I was fascinated by an early …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Ten —“ The Popular Kids
Sometimes the scariest unsubs are kids! This episode is about high school. Where a jock and his cheer leader girl friend are murdered. The unsub tries to turn the investigation towards Satanists. But I was interested to find out that there are not a lot of cases that end …
This is Daniel Cook
Ok, I’ll admit I’m not a seven year old kid, and haven’t been for a while. But I have a fondness for the show. I mean, how brilliant is it to give a seven year old kid his own show? It is a wonderful little show, …
