This season has been a real return to form. This episode was no exception. The addition of Zatanna is always a nice thing and Serinda Swan played the part quite well.
I had a few quibbles with her at first but they were taken care of …

This episode brought in Mr. Miracle, the world’s greatest escape artist, and Big Barta, as well as the villain Granny, who is fighting for apocalypse since Darkside has been defeated. Their mentor is kidnapped by her and they come to the league for help.

Things are looking grim for the Doctor, what with the entire planet being covered in a toxic gas. Fortunately, while the gas is toxic, it’s not quite lethal yet, giving everyone time to come up with a plan to stop the Sontaran’s scheme.
As big as this episode was …

Finally, after a long wait, I manage to watch George Clooney on Ellen. I don’t know if all of this was staged, but George certainly got that “shock” look on his face when he was brought by these 2 famous baseball players inside Ellen’s studio. Halfway through, George …

For each of the three seasons of DVD releases for Star Trek, a segment of Billy Blackburn’s Treasure Chest Rare Home Movies and Special Memories was done. I think this third season one is my favorite.
The background for this footage is that Billy Blackburn always carried an 8mm …

The funny thing about the Bob Wire episode of Have Gun - Will Travel from season six is that I didn’t realize the title was the name of a character. I was thinking it was an object, like barbed wire. Alas, Bob Wire is the name of …

I was fairly surprised by this episode of CSI because it was a lot better than I thought it would be. The episode itself mainly takes place in the fantasy world and some of the favorite characters barely appear at all. Hodges in the lab gathers up all the …

Being a huge fan of the Mythbusters, this week’s newest epsiode had to do with the president asking Adam and Jamie to recreate the Ancient Death Ray that they had busted in an eariler season. When I first heard that the …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Machines Strike Back, episode 12 of season 2, guest stars Roger C. Carmel as Admiral Halder. I always thought Carmel should have had the John McGiver role in the toy episode or even the Victor Buono character from a few …

Tonight was the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “The Burns and the Bees” and, while it definitely had a unique plot to it, I have to say I was a bit disappointed in it as well.
The main plot was Lisa helps create a bee colony in an …

What I liked about this episode: I caught the very …

I’d forgotten that the first episode of M*A*S*H included all the shots that were part of the opening show with just a slight embellishment in the action. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. I’d also forgotten that it’s one of Hawkeye’s letters home that begins …

The Virginian: The Masquerade, a sixth season episode, was one I found to be quite delightful. It was pretty lighthearted versus the serious tone of so many of these 90 minute episodes, and it featured David Hartman, who I often enjoy in his portrayals.
Hartman guest stars as well …

A short while ago, I commented that the later Simpsons Treehouse of Terror episodes aren’t anywhere near as good as the earlier versions.
I was wrong.
I got a chance to see Treehouse of Terror XV last night and was very impressed with the quality of the Halloween special that has …

This children’s television series is a godsend to parents everywhere. It is a time when you can have a hot drink in peace because the children will be glued to the television. At the same time it is very educational so you do not have …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: No Way Out, show number twelve, has a teaser that bores me, and that’s not a good sign. It’s another foreign intrigue affair, which oftentimes makes me yawn. However, it picked up after the theme and opening credits. Following …

I really want to be a fan of CSI: New York, and in fact I did watch it regularly in the beginning, but somehow, I just didn’t get into the habit of watching every week. So, I’ve seen sporadic episodes only. One thing that I know is …

We like to watch television while we are eating dinner. We like the back ground noise. We usually watch That 70’s show.
I like Red and Kitty, they make such a good match to each other, Red is this supposably touch guy and Kitty as his …

In April 1971, the final episode of the third season of Adam-12, a half-hour crime drama, was aired. The show was entitled Log 125: A Safe Job. It’s a fairly decent show to end a year on. It’s not a big favorite, but it is an …

Yet another lifestyle show. I watch lifestyle/magazine shows whenever I see one. This show titled Fit and Fab is a new lifestyle/magazine show. It was on air for only a month, once in a week. It tackles about woman empowerment and how to be fabulous and fit even with …

Tonight was the first time I saw the House episode “Informed Consent” and, while I have no idea in which season this one took place in, it reminded me of how great this show used to be before they started tampering with the cast and throwing in little side …

I tuned into this programme some way in as I hadn’t know it was on, but was interested in the subject matter. Apparently the aim of the programme was to talk about what the Muslim holy book actually says, I suppose to demystify it, given that there are …

Buffy’s final Halloween centric episode is something of a mixed bag. While it does a great job in continuing the pre-existing character and story arcs to great effect, the story itself is weak and lacking. It certainly doesn’t manage to capture the playful essence of the holiday previously seen …

The seventh episode is a season highlight and is quite amusing in many ways. Haim basically corners Feldman into a place that he doesn’t want to be and Feldman has no choice but to go along with it or else he’s royally screwed - and it would all be …

From the fourth season of Sea Hunt came this 18th episode of that year called Cougar. It begins with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) running into a hip kid who he’d helped the year before to straighten up his life. The kid’s name is Cougar Norris …

Now as the moment has come for the sync tests of the Evangelion pilots, as it happens every week with Nerv, except this test is going to be a little different than what they originally expected. While this test with all of the teenage pilots naked may be one …

Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations begins with the always insecure Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) grousing about Teyla keeping her baby from him. It’s an insane conversation that includes a tidbit about McKay having been dropped when he was an infant. I’m with Sheppard — it explains a …

From September 2008, Stargate Atlantis: Whispers, episode 7 of season 5, again brings back the delightful character of Dr. Carson Beckett, played by Paul McGillion. They also have something new, an all female SG team. Now that’s a first.
The good and bad of Whispers from my point …

I love this 1990’s TV series. The story is based on popular novels by P.G.Wodehouse. The two title characters, Jeeves and Wooster, are played by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, respectively. Jeeves is a butler, smart, elegant, and resourceful, and Wooster is his master, rich, carefree, and rather dimwitted. …

‘Engineering an Empire’ is a program on the History Channel that looks at historical empires, such as Rome or Greece, and their contributions to Architecture and Geometry. While at the same time relating a brief overview of the history that happens between great building projects. The show is usually …

Well, that was a somewhat interesting Bones episode.

I gave the Showtime series “Dead Like Me” a chance one day. I liked the concept—that a young lady would be selected to lead other souls to “wherever.” The pilot episode featured a young 21 year-old girl named George Lass. I found this name a …

Beast Wars - Code of Hero is, quite easily, my favorite episode of the series and one of my favorite episodes of any show period. This episode is amazingly powerful and sends a powerful message to, admittedly a relatively young audience, although the show can really be appreciated and …

I, like most people, was somewhat skeptical when it was announced that Doomsday, the infamous monster who killed Superman, would be coming to Smallville. It seemed odd when they announced that Doomsday was going to be played by Sam Witwer as a paramedic with a dark side. …

After Breaking Bad, it was a little hard to find another crime drama that I thought would measure up to its suspense and success. However, after someone I knew recommended the series Fargo, I realised that I just had to try it. I had to know why so many people …

Right to Die was an episode from the second season of the popular horror anthology series Masters of Horror. The episode picks up with a couple on their way to a cabin. The wife distracts her husband for a moment and the two do not see the tree in …

The opening of this third episode is a hoot. Pratt is on a book tour in the south, a bad mistake since his dime novels are all about Yankees. Just as some unhappy southerners are about to do harm to him and in fact have him hanging …

The first phrase that comes to my mind when I think about the pilot episode for The Defenders is ’smart move. When word first came out about this show, the word was that it was going to be a re-do of the popular lawyer series from the 60’s …

One of the series that I started watching recently was “666 Park Avenue”. It was recommended to me by another fan of the series Supernatural who swore that I would not only enjoy it, but be just as hooked. The series is still in is infant stage as it …
