That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy
That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy introduces Don’s sister, Sandy, played by Cloris Leachman. That surprised me. I hadn’t thought of Cloris as being the Hollinger type. She was quite bubbly here, playing a widow who had found a new romance with an …
Captain Planet
Captain Planet was a television carton series that i used to watch in my early teens. I really enjoyed it and I think a lot of people in my generation did as well.
Captain Planet was released at a time where people were starting to become more concious about …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 1, Episode 10: Jet
After camping out, Sokka decides that the group should hoof it for awhile. He explains that he believes the fire nation is able to find them because Appa is too noticeable when they’re airborne. The group teases him about it, despite the fact that it’s a pretty …
Hercules:The Legendary Journeys TV show
This is my favorite episode from the first season of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Although a little cheesy at times (and what Hercules episode isn’t,to a certain extant),it is humorous,fast-paced and just plain fun. And I always enjoy it when Michael Hurst,who plays Hercules best friend,Iolaus,joins the cast because …
Breaking Bad: Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot
There’s been a lot of hype behind this show. I’ve heard nothing but universal praise for it by several people. Not only is it often said to be one of the best shows currently on the air, but many argue that it is the greatest show ever. …
Coach
I absolutely love football. So, when Coach, a show about a football coach, is on TV, I�m sure to watch it.
To be honest, I only really watch when the earlier episodes of this show are on. When Craig T. Nelson (who plays Hayden Fox) was coaching at the college …
The Game (CW network sitcom)
The CW racks up points for triflingness again with sitcom “The Game.” Featuring one of the Mowry twins, Wendy Raquel Robinson, and a few unnamed actors, this show is actually incredibly popular. I have even seen blogs on Mediatakeout.com wherein people were trying to save this show …
Keeping Up With the Kardashians (E! reality show)
Again the reality show has bitten another family. This show has been on E! for a little while, but I’d just never taken the time to watch. Kim Kardashian is a beautiful woman who doesn’t really get a lot of respect in Hollywood. She’s …
M*A*S*H: Nurse Doctor
M*A*S*H: Nurse Doctor has an interesting plot which is intriguing for a couple of different reasons.
First, Alexandra Stoddart guest starred as Lt. Gail Harris, a nurse stationed at the 4077th for the last part of her Army duty. She’s headstrong and thinks just about everyone is against her …
Tony Robinson and the Blitz Witch
Tony Robinson and the Blitz Witch is a Channel 4 documentary hosted by Tony Robinson (also known as Baldrick from Blackadder) and which tells the story of the famous war time medium called Helen Duncan. This is an interesting story as this unassuming middle-aged Scottish lady who would …
Spongebob Squarepants: Chimps Ahoy
If you ever wonder exactly why Sandy the squirrel has made her home underwater in Bikini Bottom on the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants, you get an interesting explanation of it in the episode “Chimps Ahoy” which happens to be one of my favorites on this series.
Sandy gets a visit from …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 6
The big part of this sixth episode of Emerald Point N.A.S. was the court-martial trial of Lt. Glenn Matthews (Andrew Stevens). It’s all about the lies of Hilary Mallory (Sela Ward) and how far another woman will go to save Glenn. John Rubinstein, who looks like a …

From February 1989, A Man Called Hawk: Hear No Evil is episode three of this spin off from Spenser for Hire. Starring Avery Brooks as the brooding Hawk, he now struts his stuff in Washington D.C.
This is the first episode that has some bite to it and actually …
Midori no Hibi anime
Hello, I just finished watching this anime. It was Japanese but I had English subtitles on to understand what they were saying. I’m not actively learning Japanese, but by doing this I found that I know a lot of Japanese already and can also understand a lot of it, …
Private Eye: Nobody Dies in Chinatown
It seems every show has to do at least one story in their Mexican suburb and another in their Chinatown segment, and they are always about corruption and murder. Private Eye didn’t even bother to separate these shows. It’s last episode was done in the barrio of …
Highway Patrol: Blast Area Copter TV Show
Highway Patrol continues its first season with a show called Blast Area Copter. I suppose the title serves the show in that for a large portion of it Broderick Crawford’s Chief Dan Mathews riding around in it. Actually, elements of the story are more interesting than it …
Psych: Ghosts
When Psych first came on the air, I only watched it because it was the show that was on after Monk. But, I have to admit the show is growing on me enough where I’m willing to tune in to USA just to watch it.
The newest episode, Ghosts, was …
The Parkers (tv series)
“The Parkers” was one of those television sitcoms that I would virtually ignore back when it was more popular a few years ago. This was because I had made a judgement of what it would be like based on what little I had seen of a few episodes, …
Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 2
I’m not as fond of Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 2 as I am of part 1 for several reasons.
First, I don’t like what happens in part 2. There’s a major character death, and it’s one that was ordered by the Sci-Fi Network. They wanted the audience to …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Gingerbread
Of all the season three episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer I’ve seen in the past couple of days, the episode Gingerbread is one of my favorites.
We finally get a peak inside Willow’s world and gain a new insight into how powerful of a witch she’s becoming. We also …
CSI Season 4 Episode 12- Butterflied
CSI Season 4 Episode 12- Butterflied
This was a very powerful episode, not as much for the investigation part of it, but the back story. The victim in this episode looks very much like Sarah, which has a very deep effect on Grissom and he refuses to rest before he …
That Girl: The Other Woman
That Girl: The Other Woman is another good episode from the second season of this hit ABC comedy. Ethel Merman makes her second appearance of the season. Though the first one was the best of the two, this one has its own character and flavor to it.
One …
Star Trek: What Are Little Girls Made Of? TV Show
Gene Roddenberry’s love, Majel Barrett, was originally supposed to play Number One, the second in command of the Enterprise. That’s how it was in the original pilot. When that didn’t go over with network executives, she became a blonde and was reduced to a love-starved nurse named …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 15
In our ludicrous world that we call home, we simply recycle the only lonely good memories we have and in exchange, we are punished for such arrogance to the highest degree. The very same standard applies itself to all humans, whether they be small or strong. This is Neon …
The Emperor’s New School: Show me the Monkey
As I think I mentioned before, I was afraid the new character Ramon would end up creating some stupid story lines that would make the show Emperor’s New School less entertaining than it was before. And, unfortunately, the episode “Show me the Monkey” was one of those episodes that …
Stargate SG-1: A Hundred Days
This season three episode of Stargate SG-1, called A Hundred Days, is one of my least favorites ever. While parts of it are well worth watching, I just don’t buy into much of what happened and most especially the final scene.
In Stargate SG-1: A Hundred Days, the team …
Burn Notice: Trust Me
My first reaction to Burn Notice: Trust Me wasn’t positive. There was a lot of ’she’s not my girlfriend’ type of stuff, which is so second grade in my mind. It just ruined any chance I had to even want to watch this episode. While I …
Blue’s Clues tv show
Blue’s Clues is a tv show on Nick Jr. It is very engaging for young minds, and teaches many things. The characters are all brought to life in a way that reaches out to the minds of young children and captures their attention and developes their imagination. …
Gilligan’s Island - Water, Water Everywhere TV Episode
This episode is a bit boring. There is not a lot of exciting scenes to pick up the pace in this show. So I find myself getting bored and start wandering my attention span in the middle of the show. The pace is uniform and progresses naturally for on …
True Files TV show
Mediacorp channel 5, a singapore television channel telecasts a programme called “True Files” every sunday at 10 pm. As the name itself says, the main objective of the program is to bring to light some true incidents that happened in the city. The anchor of the program talks about …
The Story of the Toad - Upright Citizens Brigade show
The Story of the Toad is the 6th episode of the first season of Upright Citizens Brigade. Many of their episodes try to cover a certain theme: for this episode, that theme was relationships. It takes place on Valentine’s Day, and we can see the UCB members …
Life on Mars season 1 Episode 9 The Dark Side Of The Mook

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
I love to watch the television show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show stars Will Smith and it is absolutely hilarious. This show came out in the early 90s and I have been watching it since way back then. I use to watch it all the time …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Dwarf TV Show
Season 3 of The Ray Bradbury Theater begins with a July 1989 episode called The Dwarf. He’s a writer who meets up with a fan named Aimee.

Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Sacred Trust
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Sacred Trust is episode 4 of the first season. I loved this continuation series, a show that moved the 70’s hit Kung Fu forward a few generations. David Carradine and Chris Potter starred. Since this was so early on, they were …
E! News Weekend (E! network show)
I like this channel because they bring you so much information about the celebrities that you love to watch. But I am left a little cold with this particular show. The E! news doesn’t really seem to be as focused as I would like it to …
Dr. House show
Watching House with his non-existent bedside manner and amazing diagnostic skills often makes me wish he was my doctor. There are people to make up for his lack of bedside manner. When I go to the doctor in reality they may or may not have a bedside manner and …
The Golden Girls
This review is about a show that is near and dear to my heart. I don’t often get “hooked” on a tv show, much less feel the need to watch the episodes over and over. In fact, more often than not, I turn the channel to a …
Project Runway: The Sky is the Limit
Well, last night’s Project Runway challenge was kind of cool. The designers had to work in teams of two to make an outfit. Their only requirement is it had to be blue and it had to fit Macy’s Inc. line.
The winner would have their outfit sold by Macy’s, which …
Gundam 00 As Sunrise’s Breakthrough
Gundam 00 is probably the best in the gundam series franchise. From content, to character development, to plot involvement and story culmination, it has broken through the standard expectations of what a Gundam Series should be. Thus, it has become Sunrise Company’s groundbreaking development since the epic classics of …
Sea Hunt: Oil Island TV Show
Oil Island is the 36th show of Sea Hunt’s second season on the air. Starring Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson, expert deep sea diver, this outing begins with a little celebration of the oil rig. These days that’s a bit questionable. The story doesn’t really have …
Psyh television series
Psych is a comedy television series that comes from time to time on the American cable television channel USA. I think that it is funny sometimes because the main character, Shawn Spencer is very silly, and does a lot of deceiving people in order to accomplish his detective work. …

Highway Patrol: Insulin TV Show
Sometimes Highway Patrol episodes really entertain, and sometimes they bore. In the case of Season 3’s Insulin, which was the 17th episode to air that year, I was entertained; for the most part, anyway.
The police drama revolves around two men who show up at another man’s home. …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 1: Ghosts R Us
When Time Life announced that they were going to be releasing a box set of the entire “Real Ghostbusters” series, I pounced on it. I grew up on the cartoon and have been a fan of the franchise for years. For some reason, I had never actually …
