Star in the Night
Star in the Night from way back in 1945 is a really simple, modern day simile of the Nativity. It’s set out in the middle of a little town and opens with three cowboys on horseback, riding along with Christmas presents. They see a bright star shining …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 14: Last of the Time Lords
The three part finale comes to an end. Things look grim, and they haven’t gotten better in the year that passed since the Master took control, but Martha is still out there, fighting the good fight.
This episode couldn’t seem to find its tone. Again, the Master comes …
Modern Family TV Show
I am a firm believer that television has gone down in quality, especially where comedy is concerned. More often than not, ratings show that the most popular shows in America are the reality shows that ridicule one celebrity or another and sitcoms are nothing more than a combination of …
The Simpsons, season 19
The Simpsons are still my favourite cartoon for grown ups, even American Dad, Futurama nor South Park aren’t that good. Well some people say that 19 seasons is too much but in my opinion the Simpsons are still treathen the most important issus in the society and there are …

The letter home theme gets a bit of a twist in M*A*S*H: Dear Sigmund when visitor Sidney Freedman, a psychiatrist, comes for the monthly poker game and starts a letter to his friend, Sigmund Freud. While doing so, he talks about the magic of the camp and the …
TV Show: Seducing Cindy
When we got Direct TV, we ended up with several channels we never had before. And, as a result, came across a few television shows we had never knew existed.
One of those shows was a show called Seducing Cindy, which was airing on our reality TV channel. Since the …
Tales from the Darkside: A Case of the Stubborns
Tales from the Darkside was a horror anthology show that ran in the early 1980s to the 1990s. It was kind of corny and hokey, but it was still a lot of fun. Set up like the twilight zone, it had a different story every week. A case of …
Smallville: Bloodline
“Bloodline” is the eighth episode of the eighth season of Smallville on the CW. This episode was a little light on action but served to further the eventual arrival of Doomsday, one of Superman’s greatest villians.
Clark is sent a mysterious crystal which sends him to the Phantom Zone. …
Ghost Hunters: Beechwood Mansion and the Garden State
Yeah, I have to say I am now halfway through the second season of the show Ghost Hunters and am actually more disppointed in this one than I was in the first season. The episode “Beechwood Mansion and the Garden State” is a good example as to why.
Basically, you …
Fireball XL5: Mystery of the TA2
That lovely doctor of space medicine Venus gets to co-pilot in Fireball XL5: Mystery of the TA2. The TA2 was an early ship from decades ago. When part of the wreck is discovered, Colonel Steve Zodiace and his XL5 crew go in search of the TA2’s captain, …
Super Mario World - The Yoshi Shuffle
Super Mario World - “The Yoshi Shuffle” is one of the show’s most entertaining episodes, I think. In this episode, Luigi gets transformed into an egg by a Magikoopa and stolen by Bully and Cheatsy. Mario and Yoshi follow them to Koopa’s Castle where they must engage in a …
The Virginian: The Land Dreamer TV Show
From season seven, The Virginian: The Land Dreamer has a really bad continuity goof to start off the show. It was so bad. We have Sheriff Abbott (Ross Elliott) in the middle of a confrontation between Hosea McKinley (James Olson) and Caleb Welles (Don Francks) when shots …
WWE NXT Television Show
I will admit that I am like many people who are disappointed with the current state of this “sports entertainment” company. Quite frankly, many of the episodes of “Monday Night Raw” and “Friday Night Smackdown” seem like reruns. The same three or four people compete for a …
Max Headroom: Blipverts TV show
A couple years before Max Headroom the TV series began, there was a short movie made of the subject matter that created a lot of industry buzz. Much of this Blipverts episode is derived from the plot and themes first scene in that attention-grabbing 1985 project.
The basic idea …
Sea Hunt: Hot Cargo TV Show
From January 1960, Sea Hunt: Hot Cargo deals with Mike Nelson leading the first underwater flotilla command for the Coast Guard, which is a bit of a twist. We’ve seen Nelson on reserve duty for the Navy, which is logical since he’s an ex-Navy frogman, but what we …
Beverly Hillbillies: Big Chicken
Like I mentioned in another review, I’m home for a change and have been watching re-runs on TV. One of the shows I ended up watching was Beverly Hillbillies; more specifically, I watched the episode Big Chicken.
This was a funny episode (funnier than the description gave it credit for …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder with Mirrors TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder with Mirrors is one of my favorite episodes of this series, and the reason is due to the special guest star, Emma Samms. I adore Emma. She’s a wonderful person and a nifty actress, so when she shows up on a show, I usually …
Around the Horn
I’ve become a big fan of ESPN’s more informal programs. I already talked about Sportsnation, but the other one that I’ve really been digging lately is Around the Horn. Like any sports show, they talk about the major sports stories. Like First Take, the format is …
Naruto Anime Series
Naruto is an anime series which revolves around the main character named Uzumaki Naruto and a world wherein ninjas rule and power is everywhere.
The first time I saw this anime, I was really enthralled by it. Shounen anime series such as Naruto really do interest me and the fact …
Red Dwarf: TIkka to Ride
I don’t fully understand what the title “Tikka to Ride” means but then I have always suspected that there is quite a lot in Red Dwarf that I am missing. This is the first episode in Series 7 and though there are considerable stupid things in any episode …
Caillou
Caillou is a cartoon about a four-year-old boy and his adventures. Both my seven-year-old (when he was younger) and now my almost two-year-old like this show, although I have never been a fan, and I try to change the channel if I know it’s coming on next.
The show does …
Family Guy TV Episode: Road to the Multiverse
Synopsis: Stewie builds a device that can transport him and Brian between dimensions. However, while traveling, the device seems to malfunction and they are transported at random instead and need to find their way home.
What I liked about this episode: I think the best part of this episode is …
Hogan’s Heroes
Regardless of how much money networks spend trying to come up with new sitcoms to push on the average television viewer, I don’t think there will ever be a show that is as funny and classic as Hogan’s Heroes.
I’ve seen just about every episode of this show, which has …
Ghost Hunters: Ghostly House Guest
Well, I’m almost through all the season 3 episodes of Ghost Hunters and have to say I really haven’t been too impressed with the so-called evidence they are collecting.
The one we watched last night, Ghostly House Guest, had some potential. There was a house that was supposedly being haunted by …
Monster Episode 12 (Anime)
Monster Episode 12 begins with Dr. Tenma at the orphanage where Anna Libert stayed. There he learns about 511 Kinderheim and the experiments that took place there. Dieter is taken away from the hospital by Mr. Hartman and Tenma finds out and goes to rescue Dieter from …
Stargate SG-1: Moebius Part 1
Stargate SG-1: Moebius Part 1 continues the arc that I’m not fond of, even though, as I’ve said, there are some good moments. Basically, SG-1 goes back in time to get a ZPM and messes things up.
Here’s the good and bad of this particular show:
–Another recurring character is …
The Simpsons: Sunday, Cruddy Sunday
Early yesterday afternoon, I came across a Simpsons episode I haven’t seen in a while; Sunday, Cruddy Sunday.
As a big NFL football fan, I absolutely love this episode. It features Homer and his new friend Wally organizing a trip to the Super Bowl. This, in itself, is a bit …
The Andy Griffith Show: Quiet Sam TV Show
From May 1961, The Andy Griffith Show: Quiet Sam shows once again what paranoia can do to people, especially a superstitious and easily spirited Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts). In this show, he is focused on a farmer named Sam Becker who seems reclusive and isn’t very socialable. …

One of Bikini Bottom’s famous ghosts, The Flying Dutchman, fears that he has lost his touch to scaring people and seeks out Spongebob for help. Spongebob feels that he can get the flying Dutchman back on his feet scaring people in no time. The Flying Dutchman didn’t …
The Twilight Zone: The Masks TV Show
From March 1964, The Twilight Zone: The Masks is another show that I’m not that fond of. This last season of The Twilight Zone was full of sub par outings that had no real joy in watching them. This one actually isn’t as bad as the shows …
The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew is one of those shows that blends television with the surreal, not just as the theme for a series but for the half-hour drama being watched. It stars Larry Blyden as the title character. He’s a western star who likes …
The Simpsons: How the Test Was Won
I have been watching the Simpsons for years and I have to say last night’s re-run “How the Test was Won” had to be the funniest episode I have seen of this series; or at least among the funniest.
Springfield takes part in standardized testing in an effort to get …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 6
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig Episode 6 has Togusa investigating the death of a man who was the prime suspect in a blackmail case involving the Ministry of Energy. He discovers that the case is way more complex than he thought.
This is a great …
Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum
The interesting thing about Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum, is the fact it is the perfect place for our detective. Of course, by perfect, I mean it’s a great way for him to once again solve yet another murder mystery; this time it seems to center around the …
Highway Patrol: Foster Child TV Show
Foster Child was the 19th episode of season three for the often dramatic TV series, Highway Patrol. From February 1958, this show follows a young boy through a very difficult day. The boy is playing with a friend next door, when that boy makes a tragic decision. …
Death Note Episode 17
Death Note Episode 17 begins with Rem speaking to a businessman about the Death Note while L has a plan to test whether or not Light is the original Kira and whether or not Misa Amane is the second Kira.
This episode was very well done. It had a …
How I Met Your Mother: The Stinsons
“The Stinsons” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother that aired on CBS on March 2, 2009. This was a great, energetic, creative episode of one of the best sit-coms on TV! The plot revolved around Barney but everyone got some funny lines.
Pros: The …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-16-10 TV Show
Well, Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 16, 2010 began with yet another attempt by Alexis to be a fashion plate. How is she supposed to be relatable if she is trying to look like a Fashion Week model? This is especially hard when her hairdos …
NCIS: Call Of Silence
This is one of my favorite NCIS episodes of all time. I still cry when I watch this episode. It is so full of emotion that even though I know what is going to happen and know the dialogue almost word for word, I still find myself …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Treasure Trail
Have Gun - Will Travel: Treasure Trail is the nineteenth episode from season two of this western about a gunfighter named Paladin, as played by Richard Boone. In this episode, Paladin stands in for a man who has one-fourth of a map that supposedly leads to a hidden …
Royal Pains
I honestly believed that the absolute last thing this world needed was another doctor show. I have honestly always found doctor shows boring due to the fact that they are entirely set within hospitals which just do not provide an aesthetically pleasing view of scenery. I can’t stand watching …
Highway Patrol: Art Robbery TV Show
Highway Patrol’s 34th episode of its first year on the air was called Art Robbery. It’s aptly titled since it revolves around a group of men who cause a wreck intentionally and then steal several valuable works of art. Fortunately, the driver is able to get away …
Stargate SG-1: Rules of Engagement
Stargate SG-1: Rules of Engagement is a third-season episode of the successful series, and it’s one I enjoy watching. The team stumbles upon a training base setup by Apophis, whom they believe is dead. The purpose of the base is to help aliens act more like the …
