Destination Truth: Bhutan Yeti
When I saw this week’s episode of Destination Truth had Josh Gates hunting for the Yeti, I wasn’t expecting a whole lot. After all, if he would have found something, you know it would have made the news by now.
But, it turned out to be a good investigation that …
Drawn Together
The animated TV series of Drawn Together has been around for a few seasons and I have just discovered it a few months back. I was instantly hooked on to this cartoon series when I saw the first episode. It was so hilarious, controversial, daring and sarcastic at the …
Top Chef: Just Desserts TV Show
The latest show from Bravo is another version of the successful property, Top Chef. Top Chef: Just Desserts is hosted by Gail Simmons, who also judges regular on the original Top Chef competitions.
I’m going to start with what I didn’t like about this show. It took a …
Chuck season 2 episode 4 Chuck Versus the Cougars
This was an episode that kind a wanted to present agent Sarah as a person with a past not just as this insensitive government agent. Unfortunately they couldn’t get me interested in her and I find the story kind a superficial.
We see a girl returning home and seeing police …
Criss Angel: Mindfreak (A&E network TV show)
The most I had heard about Criss Angel is that he was a paramour of Cameron Diaz’. But other than that, I had no idea who he was. Since his little romance with her dissolved (after about two minutes) I had the opportunity to catch …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire, the 18th show of the 2nd season, was a terrific episode to watch. However, just a few moments into the show, it might look very familiar to some.
This story is a variation of the movie the series …
Stargate SG-1: The Serpent’s Lair
Season 2 of Stargate SG-1 opens with an emotional conclusion to the season-ending arc of the prior year. It’s a gripping tale that will bring tears to many, smiles to even more, and an absolutely wonderful ending that spawned the legendary Space Monkey.

What I liked about this episode: When I saw the title and the description of …
Birds of Prey TV show episode 2: Slick
The pilot for this series was a mixed bag. There was a lot of stuff that I really liked and stuff that I felt was either unwelcome or unnecessary. This episode is a bit more consistent and balanced and it ends up working both for and against …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One: Pizza Delivery
One day at the Krusty Krab Squidward and Spongebob are trying to clean up the restaurant so that they can close down for the day. Spongebob answers the ringing phone and politely tells the customer on the other line that they do not offer pizza delivery. Mr. Krabs overhears …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 4: Slimer, Come Home
There’s a general rule of thumb when it comes to “The Real Ghostbusters”, if the episode is written by J. Michael Stracynski, it will be good. After the awesomeness that was “Mrs. Rogers’ Neighborhood”, this episode had a high bar to jump, and the fact that it centered …
Ashes to Ashes
If you watched Life on Mars last year then you will surely be watching this and it is proving to be just as enjoyable.
Similar to Life on Mars a cop is injured and wakes up in the past and the main characters they meet are the same. These characters …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 13 - Risk
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 13 - Risk
Yet another great episode of the show. In this episode the team must find the killers in two very different cases. In the first case, Danny sees a body on a the subway tracks while taking a ride home. The …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 20: Humbug
This episode was certainly a drastic shift from others that had come before it. While humor would occasionally spring its head in the form of some deadpan quipping or a funny comment from Frohike, we never really saw it manifest itself to this extent. Even more impressive …
That Girl: That Shoplifter
You just have to feel for Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) in That Girl: That Shoplifter. She’s so innocent and naive sometimes. Of course, back in 1971 when this ABC hit comedy aired, things weren’t as jaded as they are today.
While working as a specials announcer at a …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Amphibians TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Amphibians aired as the 13th outing for this fun science fiction show’s fourth season on television. As the title indicates, the challenge for the crew of the nuclear sub are invaders in the form of these creatures. Actually, it’s …
Stargate SG-1: Forever in a Day
What do you do when you feel like your character is being held back? For Michael Shanks on Stargate SG-1, the answer was ask the producers to change the direction. The issue at hand was Daniel’s wife, Sha’re, who had been taken host by the Goa’uld and …
Roseanne
Roseanne is probably the worst TV show I have ever seen. It’s about a fat slob named Roseanne. She is not funny, her voice is annoying, and she is not pretty. How anyone could find this show funny is beyond me. Every time I see the show starting up I …
Dancing with the Stars: 200th Episode TV Show
The 11th season of Dancing with the Stars continued with its seventh week of competition also being a celebration of its 200th episode. The underdog series took a while to catch on, but now it’s a staple on TV despite annual criticism over its B-level stars, celebrities, or …
Dead Like Me: The Bicycle Thief
This is the episode that I was worried about with J.D. the dog. I just don’t like to spend my time worrying about innocent animals, and that’s what I do for most of Dead Like Me: The Bicycle Thief. J.D. gets out, and the Lass family goes …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie and His Merry Men TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie and His Merry Men aired for the first time back in December 1963 and since then has been rerun around the world more times than I can count as part of the syndication of this highly successful rural comedy program.

American Dad: Tearjerker
While Family Guy enjoys its Star Wars parodies, the characters of American Dad are finally allowed to play around in their own spoof, this time taking on James Bond.
This stand alone, set outside of the show’s main canon; follows the villainous Tearjerker (Roger) who is determined to make the …
Medium Season 4 Episode 3- To Have and to Hold
Medium Season 4 Episode 3- To Have and to Hold
This time they have manages to write a really freaky episode. Not that it was stranger than usual, is that the creepy guy in the episode went all the way to create that fantasy that creeped me out. But then …
Supergirl TV show episode 9: Blood Bonds
The episode picked up where last episode “Hostile Take Over” ended which Non (Astra’s husband) attacked Maxwell Lord’s company. The SFX were great in some places and in some areas not such as the jarring flight effect the production seemed to employ. It could be because there were only so …
John Doe: Manifest Destiny TV show
My first several minutes of John Doe: Manifest Destiny is pretty funny. You just have to feel for John’s fear of flying. We’ve learned the it’s possible that John and potentially others like him may have phobias, so his claustrophobia and fear of flying fits right in.
What’s …

Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: One Krab’s Trash

The first episode that was on TV this morning was …
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus is one of the wildcards I’ve mentioned. I kind of like this one, even with the annoying constant smiling of Jonas Quinn.
Earth’s brand new spaceship, the Prometheus, is about ready for its trial run. That’s when four hijackers make their move, successfully gaining control …
Highway Patrol: Phony Cop TV Show
This episode of Highway Patrol entitled Phony Cop is actually very reminiscent of an earlier show where a man pretended to be a member of the California Highway Patrol. In that outing, the man was working with a woman who helped to set up the various robberies. …
The Twilight Zone: Ring-A-Ding Girl TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Ring-A-Ding Girl is actually one of my favorite shows from the series, which is surprising since it aired in the fifth year, one which is full of lesser quality productions. This one, though, I’ve always enjoyed and I never tired of seeing it. It’s …

The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day
For a western, The Virginian did do some very different things. For example, The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day includes a day at the lake with visitors in their swimming suits. Not only that, but the opening scene includes a phone call in Denver. A western …
Stargate Atlantis: Inquisition
The 13th show of the last season, Stargate Atlantis: Inquisition is what is known in the business as the clips show. It’s sole purpose is to keep costs down. One episode a year is devoted to this economic episode. Whatever cast is used is often minimal …
M*A*S*H: Hawkeye Get Your Gun
M*A*S*H: Hawkeye Get Your Gun is an episode from the fifth season to this stellar comedy about the Korean War that I have issues with in terms of what happens in the plot; at least, at one specific point.
Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) and Chief Surgeon Hawkeye Pierce (Alan …
Matt Le Blanc on Ellen
I have watched Matt Le Blanc on Ellen and he is as awesome as he is on the show Friends. Even with a serious look, I just can’t help laughing at Joey’s expression and he looks like he is very calm, cool and collected. He talks to Ellen …
MacGyver: Slow Death
MacGyver: Slow Death is one of those average MacGyver episodes that is very pleasant to watch, though there isn’t really anything spectacular about it. Mainly, it’s an entertaining hour, and that’s really what television is supposed to be. The show has some great interaction with the characters …
Big Brother: Power of Veto 8/18/19 TV Show
The August 18, 2010 episode of Big Brother was the Power of Veto episode, and it was the most fired up episode of the season. In fact, I think there were more fireworks than just about any other episode.
What brought about the increased volume was that Brendon opened …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 13: The Drill

Doctor Who season 1 episode 7 The Long Game
This was one of the first episodes I really liked of this show. It was about the year 200,000 and the way the news were transmitted. They are all on a satellite and they receive news trough some kind a machine, they have some kind a chip installed …
True Blood show
True Bood is a show HBO. This show is based on the Sookie Stackhouse books, or “The Southern Vampire Mysteries“ series by Charlaine Harris. The show follows the story of Sookie Stackhouse, a twenty something woman that also happens to be telepathic, and the coming out of vampires from …
Have Gun - Will Travel: One, Two, Three TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel continued its 1962 efforts with a fifth season outing called One, Two, Three. This show is just full of violence, though we don’t really see that much of it. The catalyst of the murders are more heard than seen as they are …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 6

Destination Truth: Werewolf/Arica Monster
Hmm. Last night’s Destination Truth turned out to be somewhat interesting with Halloween being Saturday and everything. But, I’m not sure I like how much effort they put into the actual results of their investigation.
The hunt for a werewolf in Romania was somewhat cool; especially since they were investigating …
Christmas Night (The Little King) cartoon
The Little King - Christmas Night is a vintage cartoon presented by SoGlow. I actually watched several holiday comics from the golden age today, and this was probably not only the most simplistic of the bunch but my least favorite.
The story revolves around a king who seems a …
The Cleaner: Rebecca
Steven Culp and Kelly Lynch guest starred in The Cleaner: Rebecca. This was another solid episode with a lot of drama to it which I enjoyed watching. Both Culp and Lynch are excellent performers and they bring a lot to the table. Lynch is especially riveting …
