The Closer 6.1 “Make Over”
Over the last couple of years, I’ve watched The Closer somewhat irregularly, whenever I would accidentally catch it on TV. I’ve seen some better and worse episodes, and I’ve overall enjoyed the focus of the show, away from the forensic stuff and on the honest-to-goodness old school detective work …
M*A*S*H: The Late Captain Pierce
M*A*S*H: The Late Captain Pierce is a very funny season four episode of this great series. As the title would indicate, a paperwork error has Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) listed as dead. Even his father has been notified.
Of note here as well is that this episode is …

Code Geass Episode 7 has Cornelia setting a trap for Zero in hopes that he’ll reappear so she can capture him. Lelouch goes, hoping that he’ll be able to outsmart her and win, but things don’t go as planned.
This episode was really good because it introduces us to …

America’s Got Talent: The Finals TV Show
America’s Got Talent: The Finals for 2010 was a pretty decent show, presented in an hour format. With four finalists, it easily could have been a rockin’ half hour event. I’m admittedly getting tired of all of the fluff that these shows do. I’m not fond …
Mancuso, FBI: Betrayal TV Show
The one real reason for watching the Betrayal episode of Mancuso, FBI for me is to see actor Tristan Rogers, whose biggest claim to fame is playing Robert Scorpio on General Hospital. His Australian accent made him a huge hit and very difficult to forget. I was …
Burn Notice: Good Soldier
Burn Notice: Good Soldier is an episode from season two of this spy series that I think is a little on the ridiculous side of things. Most of the time, the regulars — Michael Weston (Jeffrey Donovan), Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar), and Sam (Bruce Campbell — are covertly watching …
Black Gold: New Management TV Show
Black Gold: New Management was the season 3 opener of this reality series, and things are a little different this year. Now first I have to warn that sometimes I wonder why I turn on this thing. Initially, I wanted to see some of that life of …
KYLE XYZ TV show
This is a relatively new show and although it has a plot i feel i have seen many times, it is actually still interesting. The story line is about a boy who is adopted into this family but he does not know his roots. Everything around him is …

Adam-12: The Radical
Adam-12: The Radical was a crossover episode with another NBC series called The D.A. That series starred the talented Robert Conrad as Deputy D.A. Paul Ryan. He’s part isn’t that big. As often happens with crossovers, part 1 is on one show and then those stars …
A-Team TV Episode: Mission of Peace
I ended up stumbling across the A-Team episode Mission of Peace early Sunday morning. And, because I had missed the first few minutes of it, I found myself watching mainly in an effort to figure out what the heck was going on.
Overall though, it was a pretty decent episode.
Basically, the …
Changing Lanes: Back to Basics TV Show

Smallville : Requiem
A lot happened in this episode of Smallville, and some of it will be good for the show, but I don’t know that I cared much for it as a singular episode. In this episode Lana and Clark have gotten together and are destroying beds. Lana has superpowers …
Oprah Winfrey Network
The Mainstream Media is considered to be any news organization that delivers news. Conservatives try to portray the media as having a bias against conservatives. One of the first things that I would like to say about this is that I don’t see how you can shape …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Mayhem of the music meister!
This episode is a gem. If ever there was a doubt in anyone’s mind that this show ruled, this episode eliminated it, all of it.
I mean come on, it’s a lavish superhero musical with a villain voiced by Neil Patrick freakin’ Harris. What more do …
Ergo Proxy episode 6
On Ergo Proxy, things are not as they seem. On episode 6 of Ergo Proxy, things that are better left hidden will become more apparent as time goes by. One thing for instance is the fact that everyone of the settlement of the banished is actually sick and running …
Dharma & Greg
Remember the TV sitcom years before, Dharma & Greg? I love this TV sitcom very much and have been missing it since. I wonder why there’s no more of this sitcom.
From the moment Dharma and Greg get to know each other right up to their marriage …
The X-Files Bad Blood Episode
I can remember this episode quite well. This was because this was an episode about vampires and it was more humorous to me than I would have expected an X-Files episode about vampires to be. I didn’t find it top be extraordinarily scary either, or gruesome like I found …
The Simpsons Tv Show
The Simpsons is a popular childrens and sometimes adult show on channel ten, usually shown at 6pm week nights. I would not recommend this television show to children under the age of fifteen as I feel like their is alot of adult concepts in the show.
For instance …
Highway Patrol: Hostage TV Show
Highway Patrol’s fourth season aired Hostage as its second episode of the year. In ways, this show is about the human condition and how people respond differently to a crisis. At the heart of the half hour episode is a wounded fugitive who takes a woman and …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Go Fish
If there’s anything that really stands out about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episode “Go Fish” it’s the fact it’s both very unbelievable (even for this series) and has some pretty disgusting moments in it.
OK, the fact they live on the Hell Mouth would probably give me some reason …
NCIS: Reveille
“Reveille” opens with Gibbs having a weird dream about Ari. In it, he walks into autopsy and sees Ducky standing beside a body bag looking very sad and upset. Gibbs unzips the body bag and sees Kate lying dead with a gunshot wound in her forehead. …
Laramie: Two for the Gallows

Justice League: Dark Heart
Typically, any “Justice league Unlimited” episode has one character it focuses on. This episode it was The Atom, and that part of the episode was OK, but not great. The Atom can change his size. Not much else, and his personality isn’t that great either, which might by why …
Ghosthunters Television Series
Ever since I saw the first Ghosthunters episode advertising on the cable television channel, Syfy, I have been hooked to the show ever since. Somehow I think that it seems to be a little more realistic than other shows about the paranormal on television such as “Most Haunted”, “Paranormal …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Evil under the sea!
This is one of my favorite episodes of the series. It introduces this show’s incarnation of Aquaman, who is awesome. I know, you think that there’s no way that Aquaman can be anything other than lame, but this episode proves that theory wrong.
While his over …
Doctor Who 2009 Easter Special: Planet of the Dead
Rather than go for another full season, Tennant and crew decided to wrap up his run with a series of specials. There was, of course, the Christmas special, which has become something of a Doctor Who tradition, but they followed it up with an Easter special. As …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 22 (Anime)

This episode was really well done. The plot was good …
Cracker: True Romance Part 2 TV show
Robbie Coltrane is the big cheese as Dr. Eddie ‘Fitz’ Fitzgerald in Cracker: True Romance Part 2. However, for me, his cheese is poisoned. I wasn’t impressed for one second with the acting or the character. He was a major turnoff.
The final scene makes me dislike …
Titanic: The Mission Part 5 TV Show
Titanic: The Mission Part 5 is the last hour of this British television documentary that charged four people with recreating some iconic elements of the luxury liner that sank on its maiden voyage. The emphasis for the finale was on safety equipment, including the Marconi wireless device that …
Adam 12 - Log 1
Adam-12 is quality TV. In fandom, it’s part of what many call Webb TV, shows produced by the late Jack Webb. He had a knack for drama that was straight forward and yet still entertaining, and Adam-12 is a perfect example of that.
One thing that I notice …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Living Conditions
Got to admit, while not the best Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode ever, the episode “Living Conditions” still managed to be funny and entertaining.
In fact, I’m not even sure what the real plot was supposed to be. But, that whole storyline where Buffy had to survive living with her …
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 …
Faerie Tale Theater: Goldilocks and the Three Bears
My daughter ended up watching another episode of the 1980s show Faerie Tale Theater this past weekend; Goldilocks and the Three Bears. And, much like other episodes of the show, this one proved to be pretty entertaining for pretty much everyone in our family.
They kept the same basic plot …

I have been impatiently waiting for the fall season mainly because I am eagerly awaiting the start of the television series. One of my favorite and much anticipated show is So You Think You Can Dance. Seasons 1 to 5 were shown during summer, but this fall would be …
The X-Files Lazarus Episode
This is another one of what I think was one of my 30 favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties American television series “The X-Files”. This is because deals with the whole belief of out of body experiences and whether or not the human body possesses a soul. In …
Law & Order SVU: Smut
Wow, I have to wonder where Law & Order SVU is starting to head at this point. Another episode last night, “Smut” and another hour where I felt kind of bored.
I think this series might have beaten the whole sex crimes thing to death and is running out of …

Stargate SG-1: Chimera brings about a lot of surprises for fans of the series. The first one is that Daniel suddenly owns a home. This has come out of nowhere. For seven years, he’d had an apartment and, bam, now he has a house.
The second is …
Smallville 9.3: Rabid
You can’t go wrong with zombies. There’s just something about them that work, even when it’s greatly flawed. These are more of the “rage zombie” ilk as opposed to the slow walking dead. Seeing the latter would’ve been cool, but this works too.
The change is caused …
