Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1
Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1 was an okay show. The show is getting a reputation now for star injuries, and this season two contestants didn’t even make it to the first show. Both Jewel and Nancy O’Dell had to withdraw for injuries.
Jewel was replaced by …
Swingtown
I’d intentionally waited for a few weeks after this series debuted before reviewing it because I wanted to get a better sense of what the show is about. The first episode was pure sex, or pretty much so anyway, with the climax (pardon the pun!) being the swapping between …
Sea Hunt: Pirate Gold TV Show
It was a father and son outing on this 14th episode of Sea Hunt’s third season on the air. The show was titled Pirate Gold and aired originally back in April 1960. The star of this underwater adventure series is Lloyd Bridges, who played the role of …
Law & Order SVU: Sugar
Well, I obviously have watched the show Law & Order SVU a bit too much in my lifetime because the cases are becoming a bit too easy to solve.
Last night’s episode, Sugar, was a good example of this.
I didn’t even get to see the first few minutes of the …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Surveillance

NCIS Los Angles Season 3 Episode 8 (TV show)
Episode 8 of season 3 of NCIS Los Angeles was as entertaining and engaging as ever. The storyline was unexpected, important matters and lives were on the line, all accompanied with a healthy dose of humor and inside jokes. There were, however, a few things that I did not …
Death Note Episode 8
Death Note Episode 8 has L has security cameras in Light Yagami’s house and he figures out how to keep killing people while pretending to study for college entrance exams.

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Brothers TV Show
The 11th show of the fifth season, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Brothers was a good one, full of surprises. In the show, Paladin (Richard Boone) is hired to bring back accused murderer, Bram Holden, for trial. However, it’s not an easy task, beginning with Paladin …
Family Guy: Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater
As one of the earlier episodes of Family Guy, “Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater” is among the more funny ones. It has a decent build up, and while the plot is not as out there as later episodes, its decent writing saves the day.
Lois’ aunt dies, and the family inherits …
Family Guy: Tales of a Third Grade Nothing
I’m not sure about Family Guy some weeks. Some episodes are very clever and unique. Others, like “Tales of a Third Grade Nothing” lack any real substance to them.
This episode basically has Peter having to repeat the third grade because he is seeking a management position and it is …
Comic Book Superheroes Unasked Documentary
Comic Superheroes Unmasked is a documentary on the History Channel about this history of comic books and superheroes. It features interviews with many influential comic book authors and illustrators.

Everybody loves Raymond TV show
The show Everybody loves Raymond is one of the worst shows that could have possibly been put on the air. It really is a stupid show and I could only stomach this show a few times before I got so sick of it. This show truly was a disaster.
I …
Family Guy: Prick up your ears
Sometimes, the series Family Guy can be a bit over the top. A lot of times, that can take away from the show. Other times, like in the episode “Prick up Your Ears,” it can be a good thing because it was a great way to bring people’s attention …
TV Series Modern Family “Caught in the Act”
You have to love a show that has kids walking in on their parents having sex in the morning in their first scene. I hadn’t seen a kids walking in episode on tv in awhile, it is not the first show to have done it but the material …
The Virginian: Girl on the Glass Mountain TV Show
From season 5 in 1966, The Virginian: Girl on the Glass Mountain was a fairly entertaining episode. I haven’t liked very many of the fifth season shows, but this one does okay. It revolves around a young woman who gets married and wants everything to be just …
It’s Me or the Dog Animal Planet show
Truth be known, if my wife and I could have found anything better on television, we probably would never have watched the Animal Planet show “It’s Me or the Dog.”
After watching it, I have to say I’m not sure if it’s a show I will be watching again.
The concept …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 9: Human Nature
After the awesomeness that was “42″, we’re given another amazing episode. It may not keep you on the edge of your seat in suspense, but it works extremely well and pulls off everything successfully.
As the episode opens, the Doctor and Martha find themselves being pursued by …
Ghost Hunters: St. Augustine Lighthouse
One of the first Ghost Hunters episodes I ever saw was St. Augustine Lighthouse. It is also one of the better episodes I have seen from the series.

The Simpsons Season 3
The third season of The Simpsons isn’t exactly the best season in the show’s history, but it’s far from the worst too. When you watch the earlier seasons now, it can sometimes be hard to compare the characters to how they look and sound now. That problem doesn’t appear …
Masters of Horror: Sounds Like — TV show
Masters of Horror was a series of one-hour long independent horror movies, each one directed by a different person. The episode Sounds Like seems to be a modern retelling of Edgar Allan Poe’s famous story The Telltale Heart. Larry is a married man who recently lost his …
Futurama TV Episode: My Three Suns
Hmm—¦I was on a roll there and finding episodes I loved of the series Futurama. But, so far, there have been a couple episodes that just haven’t lived up to expectations. One of these was the one entitled “My Three Suns.”
The episode did start out OK. Fry wants to …
The Simpsons TV Episode: The Old Man and Lisa
I got home early enough to watch a re-run of the Simpsons on TV. The one that was showing was one I have seen before and still think is one of my favorites; The Old Man and Lisa.
Basically, Mr. Burns discovers he has been making a number of bad …
Lost Blanket (In the Night Garden series)
My 19-month old daughter is a fan of the popular children’s TV series, In the Night Garden. We even bought some DVDs for her the other day. Then we saw the book version of the show and she instantly recognised the characters and smiled when she saw it. So …
The Closer TV Episode: Makeover
I have never been a bit fan of the show The Closer. I never really found anything about it I didn’t like. I just think there are too many cop shows on TV now and can only watch so many without feeling a bit burnt out.
However, I didn’t turn …
A Man Called Hawk: If Memory Serves
A Man Called Hawk: If Memory Serves has an interesting premise, one I haven’t quite seen before, at least not in this type of presentation. The story revolves around Alex Chavin (Paul Butler), a Haitian man who remembers everything he hears and reads. It’s not a photographic …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Eleven —“ Blood Hungry
I almost thought this episode was about someone who thought he was a vampire. But someone was breaking into places and hacking people up with tools and then taking internal organs from the victims. Later, the team discovered that whoever was doing it, was actually drinking the blood as …
M*A*S*H: That’s Show Biz
The first episode from season 10, M*A*S*H: That’s Show Biz, is a very pleasant and fun show to watch. It’s more focused on a positive tone, and it’s a great way to start off a new year of shows, especially since season nine ended with somewhat of a …
Sea Hunt: Missile Watch TV Show
From February 1960, which was its third season, Sea Hunt: Missile Watch starred Lloyd Bridges as diving expert, Mike Nelson. This show was pretty interesting to watch. That said, I felt Nelson made a couple of dumb moves that made no sense to me at all.
In Sea …

Stargate SG-1: Point of No Return
Stargate SG-1: Point of No Return is an odd episode with some funny moments, but once again, the team is divided, and that’s always a sad thing. This time around, it’s Jack and Teal’c who cover one part of the tale, while Daniel and Sam work together.
Now I …

Ghost Hunters: Mark Twain House
Since Law & Order SVU wasn’t on last night, I was able to watch the early show of Ghost Hunters as they explored the Mark Twain House in Connecticut. This turned out to be an interesting episode.
For one, they had a lot of personal experiences. Normally, I don’t count …
The Twilight Zone: The Trouble with Templeton TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Trouble with Templeton is another one of the many shows where a person finds solace in their past. Sometimes these outings end up positively and sometimes not. I like this one because it comes with a bit of a message that is …
A Mind to Murder
From 1995, A Mind to Murder is another P.D. James novel put onto film which stars Roy Marsden. Marsden has made a career out of portraying Commander Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard. It’s unusual to see someone play the same role so many times, but I …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Goodbye Iowa
Well, Professor Walsh certainly didn’t last very long on this show. One episode after trying to kill Buffy, she herself is stabbed to death in the episode “Goodbye Iowa.”
The romance between Buffy and Riley already seems strained by this episode too. He doesn’t want to accept the fact the …
M*A*S*H: Welcome to Korea
This hit comedy show hadn’t even had a chance to work on the new commander for the 4077th unit when it suffered another blow. Wayne Rogers decided not to return, sending his Trapper John McIntyre home to the United States where years later he’d turn into Pernell Roberts …
America’s Got Talent
I was only able to watch a few episodes of the American television reality series “America’s Got Talent”. However, because I was busy for some time I eventually forgot about it and remembered about it again when the season was then over. Nevertheless, I can still recall enough about …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 5: World War Three
This episode picks up where “Aliens in London” left off, with the nefarious Slitheen enacting their plot that puts the whole world in danger.
I have to say, seeing the Doctor overpower the Slitheen weapon while pointing out that what’s lethal to humans isn’t lethal to him was …
Family Guy: Running Mates
I watched the Family Guy episode “Running Mates” for the first time yesterday and found myself feeling unimpressed.
I’m not sure why, but this episode, which has Peter and Lois competing against each other for school board president just didn’t seem as funny as other episodes in the series. It …
The Virginian: Say Goodbye to All That
The Virginian: Say Goodbye to All That just did nothing for me. It’s one of the reasons why I didn’t watch this series originally. It left me cold. I really didn’t get all the nuances. Maybe I blinked and missed something important and didn’t realize …
Married with Children TV Episode: Have you Driven a Ford Lately
Synopsis: In this Season 1 Episode, Al and Steve end up purchasing a classic Ford Mustang and work together to re-build it. While they do this, their wives, who are pretty much car widows, sulk because all their time and effort are going into the new automobile.

We have cable tv and one of the better series on cable is a show called House.

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 …
