Kuya
I use to watch Jerry Springer show that’s why this morning show captured my attention. The program is entitled Good Morning Kuya and the format - just the format, not the content - is somehow parallel. The first scene that I was able to see was the host, …
Daytime TV: One Life to Live
One Life to Live is a long time soap opera on daytime television. I started watching it when I was a stay at home mother many years ago. When I went back to work, I had to stop watching but years later tuned in after starting to work from …
The Lazarus Man: Among the Dead
Among the Dead is episode 11 of The Lazarus Man, a western drama of sorts that aired in 1996 and starred Robert Urich in the title role. The show can be a bit confusing from time to time because of the intercutting of flashbacks or visions. There …
Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever
As far as Monk episodes go, Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever was actually one of the worse ones I’ve seen.
While the side-plot of Natalie getting a job as television’s lotto girl was somewhat interesting, the reality was the show itself was a bit cruddy because there was really no …
Pysch Pilot
One of my Christmas presents this year was the first season of the show Psych (my wife bought it for me but I picked it out). Because of that, I was finally able to watch the series pilot again; something I saw a long time ago but it hasn’t …

The Big Bang Theory Season 1 Episode 11
This episode of The Big Boom Theory started out with a very comical game of “3d chess.” I found this to be very unique and wouldn’t have thought of it myself. I’m actually quite curious as to if it’s even a real game.
During the game, Penny comes over and …
The Challenge: Fresh Meat II
Fresh Meat II is a spin off tv show from a previous show called the Challenge. In the show a group of 13 girls and guys live together and compete for a chance to win $300 000. Each time there is a challenge, the winner chooses someone to go …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hatchet Man TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hatchet Man is from the third season of this western series. It’s a half-hour of Chinatown, which is something they did from time to time. Following are a few of the thoughts and observations I had about this outing.
–Even the fight …

Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.21: Liberty on Ryloth
Well, it’s about time this series gave Jedi Master Mace Windu the spotlight that he deserves. “Liberty on Ryloth” is the final episode in the ‘Ryloth’ trilogy, following “Storm Over Ryloth” and “Innocents of Ryloth”, and it all centers around Mace Windu being a badass as he commandeers a …

Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 19- Contact
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 19- Contact
I really loved this episode. I thought it was absolutely coming in. Just because of the story that they have come up with. This is not just another crime investigation, this was absolutely interesting and unusual. I …
Project Runway: Fashion Headliners
Last night’s Project Runway episode “Fashion Headliners” was definitely an interesting one but still a bit on the predictable side of things. The second Heidi said their project had something to do with the concept of black and white, I immediately thought of print and naturally it turned out …
Justice League - Tabula Rasa, Part One
Justice League - “Tabula Rasa”, Part One is an episode that features Lex Luthor, one of my favorite villains. He is on the run in this episode and retreats to the home of a friend of his in the woods. There, he discovers his friend dead, apparently from a …
Scrubs - TV Show - E4
If you are yet to watch the t.v sitcom Scrubs, then in my opinion you are really missing out. It was a show that took me ages to get round to making time for, but sometimes you have to sit down with shows like this and just give it …
Full House TV Show
Who doesn’t love Full House? Sure, Danny sometimes gets so cheesy that you almost have to turn the channel, but seriously I could sit for hours watching it and get a fuzzy feeling inside. Cheesy but true.
It’s about a guy, Danny, trying to raise his three girls on his …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Knight TV Show
From June 1962, the fifth season of this successful western series, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Knight was a somewhat odd show to me in the way that it played out. It opens with some fun in San Francisco, at the Hotel Carlton where Paladin (Richard Boone) …
Bones TV Episode: Judas on a Pole
Well, last night was the first time I had a chance to see the Bones episode Judas on a Pole. And, it was pretty good. However, I have to confess, it might have been better if I had seen it when it first aired.
The episode focuses on Bones’ dad …
Jeremiah: Tripwire
In Jeremiah: Tripwire, Thunder Mountain personnel head to Danbury to try and set up an alliance and check out a nuclear silo located there. This all relates back to Valhalla Sector and sudden activity in military facilities across the country, beginning in the Virginia area.
I wasn’t all that …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter is written by Gene Roddenberry in his pre-Star Trek days. I have to give the show credit here, too, because it brought back characters regularly for follow ups; at least, that’s what has been happening in the first …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Promised Land TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Promised Land is the first episode of this series that aired in 1983. It’s funny what stands out to a person, but one of the things I am amused by as I rewatch this program is how star Richard Dean Anderson (he plays …
Fireball XL5: Plant Man from Space
From November 18, 1962, Fireball XL5: Plant Man from Space gives us a story we’ve seen many times since this episode. In various incarnations, it’s the story of a small seed leading to a plant that looks wonderful, but then proves to be over powering in one way …
Art Attack

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hanging of Aaron Gibbs TV Show
From November 1961, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hanging of Aaron Gibbs was a very strong episode. It surprised me in many ways. The show guest stars black folk singer, Odetta. Now the only reason I use the descriptor ‘black’ in this review is because …

Night Gallery: Whisper TV Show
Dean Stockwell and Sally Field appear as a married couple in the Whisper edition of Night Gallery. This is very different type of show. It’s eerie because you don’t really know what’s going on. Stockwell, as Charlie, talks right to the camera several times. In a …
Law & Order SVU: Unstable
Last night was the season premiere of Law & Order SVU and it was a bit better than expected; though you can only have so many cases involving rape before you start feeling like you’ve watched the show before.
This one had an unstable cop discovering a rape victim and, …
M*A*S*H: Images
Her husband, Charles Frank, has already appeared on this series, and now it’s her turn to guest star. The ‘her’ is Susan Blanchard and the show is M*A*S*H: Images. These two met while working on All My Children years ago, and I always notice them when they …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Showdown in Pewter City (Episode)
“Showdown in Pewter City” is the fifth episode of the “Pokemon” series and it features Ash’s first gym battle as well as the introduction of Brock Slate, the gym leader of Pewter City. I like this episode a lot, and not because of the gym battle, either. The gym …
Home Improvement: To Build or Not to Build
I was watching the tail end of a Home Improvement episode today at lunch “To build or Not to build” and will say I was very impressed with it.
I wasn’t sure what the episode was about at first, but it turns out it was a Mother’s Day episode revolving …
NCIS: Agent Afloat Season 6, Episode 2
This episode was mostly about Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, or rather Agent Afloat Anthony DiNozzo. Anyone who is a huge fan of Michael Weatherly, like myself, enjoyed “Agent Afloat” tremendously.
There were two stories going on….which usually happens on NCIS. One was the investigation itself. Supposedly, a …
Bones TV Episode: The Blonde in the Game
Our youngest daughter was actually napping for a change so I decided to watch a bit of TV while eating lunch today. I ended up watching an episode of the show Bones; The Blonde in the Game.
This episode had Booth and Brennan once again having to deal with serial …
Climax!: Casino Royale TV Show
Hosted by William Lundigan, Barry Nelson, Peter Lorre, and Linda Christian starred in the Casino Royale presentation of Climax! It’s presented in acts, which I love. That’s a very classic way of putting on a performance. This is really going back in TV history, to 1954. …

Kekkaishi Episode 5 (Anime)
Kekkaishi Episode 5 has Yoshimori confronting the ghost of a pastry chief who won’t pass on to the next world.
This episode was pretty good and it explained more about the world of the Kekkaishi and how they operate, and it also introduced the Night Troops an organization that is …
Wonder Pets show
Unfortunate the show “The Wonderpets” on Noggin is something that could be a good idea if they had developed it further. The issue is that there are only about five episodes. I mean, how many times can the stupid cow get stuck in a tree with a tornado on …
Hawaii Five-0: Pilot TV Show
Hawaii Five-0’s pilot episode from September 2010 is designed to introduce us to the new team. This is not a replica of the Jack Lord series; it’s a re-think. It’s very important to go into this series with an open mind. If you are determined to …
Sea Hunt: Legend of the Mermaid TV Show
Sea Hunt: Legend of the Mermaid almost feels like a repeat or perhaps a sequel. Let me explain why this June 1958 outing feels a little quirky.
First, this is yet another episode about sponge diving. We saw quite a bit of that just a few weeks before …
Star Trek: Bread and Circuses TV Show
Here we go again. You know, I love this series, but they did have the tendency to get very repetitive in their choices. In the case of Star Trek: Bread and Circuses, the Enterprise is tracking down yet another missing spaceship and, yes, the missing captain is …
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties is not really my style. It opens with Sam and Vala returning from a shopping trip, the two all decked out and drawing attention as they walk down the corridors of the SGC. I guess they wanted to show these two are friends. …
Mirai Nikki (Future Diary) Anime/Animated Series
First and foremost, it should be noted that this anime series can easily unnerve some people. There is a plethora of psychotic moments and gore, injuries and deaths littering the series. The plot itself can seem wicked, especially the main characters.
It is a tale of a game of survival …
Due South: One Good Man
The action in Due South: One Good Man is mostly personal for Royal Canadian Mountie Benton Fraser. He lives in a poor area of Chicago and is trying to improve the living conditions of his run-down building. In doing so, he gets the attention of a developer, …

TLC recently started a show called take home chef. This is a show where this australian chef finds someone in a grocery store to go home with and cook a surprise dinner for the rest of the household. So far, the show has been educative, entertaining and …
Jericho (tv show)
Maybe its just me, but this fall season a new show called Jericho is on prime time television and I have attempted to watch the show three times now and I have not a clue what the main idea is. I get the idea that the town has …
Lost Worlds TV Show
Lost Worlds is a tv series that appears on The History Channel. They take worlds that have been lost throughout the ages and using cool technology they recreate the world as it would have been seen back in the day. It is a great show. You get to learn …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 15: Fresh Bones
We follow up an episode dealing with a Satanic cult with one that deals with voodoo. This episode could’ve very easily felt like a pale rehash, but it does enough differently that it is able to differentiate itself from its predecessor.
I wasn’t sure about this episode …
