Have Gun - Will Travel: Bitter Wine
From season one, Have Gun - Will Travel: Bitter Wine opens with Paladin (Richard Boone) judging a wine contest. This continues the interesting dichotomy of the Paladin character. He’s a gunfighter for hire with sophisticated tastes and knowledge. I really think that seeing both sides of …
Masquerade: Winnings
Masquerade: Winnings just could be my favorite episode of this series. I love the concept of the plot and the guest cast was terrific. Basically, the recruits, all just average American citizens, are brought together because they are all high rollers, or were. Poker and other …
Legend of the Seeker
I had heard of the show Legend of the Seeker but honestly never took the time to watch it on TV. However, I did see it was available through our Netflix Instant watch and I decided to give it a try this weekend.
It wasn’t too bad.
The show is about …
Ultimate 150 Cartoon Festival DVD set
I have always loved cartoons. As a kid, I had all kinds of favorites. Saturday mornings were a joy, and so were weekday mornings before school. As an adult, I still enjoy them. In fact, I’ve purchased a few VHS releases of some of my …
Supernatural 4.17 It’s a Terrible Life
I’ve maintained for some time that Supernatural is one of the best shows on TV. It’s up there with Venture Bros. for me. This episode was a fine example for that. It was funny, had great character moments as well as being creepy.
It was a …
Psych s03e10
As every other Psych episode this one starts with a past memory of Shawn and his Dad from 1987. Little Shawn and Gus were on a school trip and Shawn was determined to visit Aquaworld and ride a dolphin. Of course, Shawn dad catches them and stops them in …
Leave It to Beaver
“Leave It to Beaver” is a reminder of an era that will never exist again. This classic television show was made during a time when most kids worries were more about grades, homework, crushes on the opposite sex and trying to get along with parents. Parents, teachers …
Starhub Cable Vision
Starhub Cable Vision (SCV) is a singapore based cable tv company. I have been using their service on a regular basic for the last ten years. Generally i am quite pleased with the services as they have continue to improve the quality and quantity of programs available.

Private Eye: Hollywood Confidential TV show
From January 1988, Private Eye: Hollywood Confidential was very interesting story. The series stars Michael Woods as private eye, Jack Cleary, and Josh Brolin as his assistant, Johnny Betts. The exciting part for me, though, was with the guest star, Adam-12’s Kent McCord.
In Hollywood Confidential, McCord plays …
Friends TV show - The one where Dr. Ramoray Dies
Joey thinks he is living the hot shot life when he gets this job as a major role in a soap opera, but what he didn’t know is that shortly after they introduce his character, they had plans to kill him off the show, leaving him unemployed. He is …
Daytime TV: The Young and Restless
When I was younger, I watched four soap opera’s while I was a stay at home mom. The Young and the Restless was part of that line up although I must say that I only watched half of the show. If I watched the entire thing, I would miss …
Adam-12: Log 165: Once a Cop
I really get a kick out of this 1971 episode of Adam-12 called Log 165: Once a Cop. This is the 19th episode from season three and it has some very entertaining story elements, including the fact that our heroes go on foot patrol for a while, something …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-17-10 TV Show
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show from September 17, 2010 featured guests Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Ryan, John Ortiz, and Daphne Rubin-Vega. Some were more enjoyable than others.
Much of this show was devoted to Hoffman and his movie, Jack Goes Boating. Other members of the cast, as mentioned, …
The Amazing Race reality show

The show usually starts with all of the teams in an American city where they are sent off to their provided …
John Doe: Idaho TV show
John Doe: Idaho is probably my favorite episode of this science fiction show thus far. Actually, the plot device used here is pretty much an easy to guess one, but it’s nicely done and you really aren’t sure until the story progresses quite a bit. Logic tells you …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A Ring for Hannah TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A Ring for Hannah has another disaster looming for the McFadden family. It begins with some warm emotion and good feeling when Tom Barrett (Charles Aidman) tells some of the brothers about how he opened a mine with Adam McFadden Sr. Adam …

The Twilight Zone: Dust TV Show
When I saw this for the first time again recently, I didn’t remember it at all. The show in question is The Twilight Zone: Dust, and I say ‘again’, because I watched The Twilight Zone religiously as a kid, and in the decades of reruns, there isn’t a …
Whoopi: Is Rita Pregnant? TV Show
The focus of Whoopi: Is Rita Pregnant? from February 2004 was on Courtney’s girlfriend, Rita (Elizabeth Regen), and the possibility that she might be pregnant, something that makes Courtney’s sister cringe. She’s not really fond of Rita, at least not while her brother is unemployed and living with …
Doctor Who special 3: The End of Time Part 2
Thus concludes David Tennant’s run as the Doctor as he faces off against both the Master and the Time Lords, who seek to bring about an end to creation in order to save their own hides.
The episode is a step above part 1, but it still didn’t quite hit …
CSI Season 3 Episode 1- Revenge is Best Served Cold
CSI Season 3 Episode 1- Revenge is Best Served Cold
It was a very good episode. I enjoyed it very much. One of the cases, although presented a good story, was a bit difficult to believe. It could have been a better story line for a movie maybe, where …
Tom and Jerry
As we all know the Tom and Jerry is a very famous and popular cartoon, which is liked by most or all the kids. This famous cartoon serial is telecasted in the favourite kids channel called cartoon network. Every day in the evening at 5.00 pm the …

MTV
MTV may be the worst channel on TV. Well not quite, I believe BET holds that title.
Anyways, if you want mind numbingly stupid and irritating programs to watch, MTV is your channel. From shows such as My Sweet 16 to Flavor of Love, the madness just does not …
CHiPs: The Grudge
Season two of CHiPs included an episode called The Grudge which is just a little offbeat and unrealistic. What we have in this hour-long drama are some college students who get arrested and subsequently are suspended from school. Having nothing else to do, they decide to do …
Taxicab Confessions
“Taxicab Confessions” was a hidden camera television reality show series which was broadcast on the cable movie channel HBO since the late 1990s and early 2000s. I used to watch it in secret sometimes in the nights ever since I discovered it when I was about twelve out …
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. …
The Andy Griffith Show TV Episode: Emmett’s Brother-in-Law
I had some free time at lunch today so I ended up turning on the TV in the hopes of watching something interesting while having my lunch.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find much on (apparently they took off the Home Improvement episodes I used to watch)so I ended up watching a …
The Commish: Rising Sun TV Show
I was very happy to see that, at last, the third season to The Commish was online over at Hulu because I’ve been anxious to see the episode Rising Sun. The reason for that is that it includes a small role by my favorite, Michael Shanks of Stargate …
That Girl: Don’t Just Do Something, Stand There
In the revised pilot for the That Girl comedy series, struggling actress Ann Marie meets magazine writer Don Hollinger. From that meeting comes a highly successful, humorous, and thoughtful comedy that thrilled millions for five seasons.
Played by Marlo Thomas, the daughter of Danny Thomas, Ann Marie is an …
Voyagers!: Pursuit
Voyagers!: Pursuit was another good episode and one I enjoyed a lot, in part because it dabbled just lightly into the space program, which is a topic I’m very interested in. Do a good space show, and the odds are I’ll enjoy it.
Apparently, it’s young Jeffrey Jones’ birthday …
The Veil: Jack the Ripper TV Show
Boris Karloff’s 1958 anthology series, The Veil, took on yet another different tactic in the episode called Jack the Ripper. This is the first episode of the series where Karloff didn’t even have a small role in the production. All he did was host the show. However, …
The Cleaner: To Catch a Fed
This is another good episode to The Cleaner. It’s called To Catch a Fed. In it, William Banks is surprised to see the new truck of his dreams show up on his doorstep. It’s a gift, but it comes with a catch. The gift-giver is a …

Storage Wars
I watched the new show on A&E called Storage Wars the other day. I was just flipping though the channels and happened to stop on this show for no particular reason. The show follows around 4 professional buyers as they bid on storage lockers. According to …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bride
In Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bride, Mike Connors guest stars as Johnny Dark and I didn’t even recognize him. There was something about his voice, but it wasn’t until I checked the credits that I realized it was him. He’s just so young here. …
Destination Truth: Ghosts of Chernobyl/Sal’Awa
Once again, I spent my Wednesday night watching three shows and Destination Truth ended up being the most entertaining of the three.
Last night’s episode once again had the team investigating two cases.
The first case was an investigation of the ghost town around where the Chernobyl Power Plant had its …
The Twilight Zone: Twenty Two TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Twenty Two should have been done in October. It would have made a wonderful Halloween edition for this science fiction series. It’s done a super job of scaring me from the moment it first aired. It has that freaky, spooky feeling to it, …
Numb3rs: And the Winner Is…
Numb3rs: And the Winner Is… aired on February 5, 2010, and it was probably the most enjoyable episode of the season for me. I’ve really missed not having Peter MacNicol on the show. ABC has taken some cost cutting measures for this series, including reducing the number …
Highway Patrol: Transmitter Danger TV Show
The fourth show of the fourth season on TV, Highway Patrol: Transmitter Danger was another show that focused on dynamite. They’ve done this a couple of times so it wasn’t the freshest of plots to be doing in this half hour show. This show is about the …
Bad Girls Club Season 4

Hogan’s Hero TV Episode: Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up
I had a chance to catch a re-run of Hogan’s Heroes while at home for lunch today; “Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up.”
I came in a bit late to see the first few minutes of the episode so, in all honesty, I can’t tell you exactly what was …
Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special
I love Carrie Underwood and I think if she plays her cards right, she’ll be around for decades and end up being a country music legend. Of course, there’s a long way to go before then, but she has the potential. As someone who watched the high …
Naruto: Shippuden
Naruto: Shippuden (or Naruto: Hurricane Chronicles) is the continuation of the popular anime show Naruto. Naruto: Shippuden starts when Naruto has finally returned from his trainings with Jaraiya, which is roughly two and a half years right after the ending of the Naruto anime. Uzumaki Naruto now has found …
ABS-CBN: My Girl
MY girl Korean version is really one of my favorite Korean Dramas! That Korean drama introduced me to Lee Jun Ki, on of the lead actors of the show, and he is, to this day my favorite Korean star. My girl’s story is light, moving at times and really …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.2: Rising Malevolence
Yawn, yawn, yawn. After the last episode, “Ambush”, and now this one, you just can’t help but ask yourself how this could get any worse than it already is. The second episode of the season, “Rising Malevolence”, depicts Anakin Skywalker and his apprentice, Ahsoka Tano (who is a cute …
30 Rock: Blind Date
I’m starting to get a feel for 30 Rock, but I’m not sure I like it. It feels more like a skit from “Saturday Night Live” than a TV series. The things that happen are generally absurd, the comedy just a little too far and the character surreal.
That isn’t …
