Fringe: The Bishop Revival
I finally got a chance to watch a full episode of Fringe last night (I love DVR because it allows me to pause the show until I get my daughter to bed). The episode, The Bishop Revival, was interesting and a bit creepy.
Basically, they had a Nazi scientist using …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Out at the Old Ball Park TV Show
From 1960, Have Gun - Will Travel: Out at the Old Ball Park was an oddly entertaining version of this western series which starred Richard Boone as gunfighter for hire, Paladin. I really liked the opening bit because it caught me off guard. We’re again at the …
“Snapped” (Oxygen crime show)
I didn’t realize there were so many women in the world who were willing to kill their husbands, boyfriends, and rivals in order to get what they want in the world. Some of the women featured on the show have killed abusive husbands and stepfathers. Others have …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Left-Handed Man TV Show
From 1965, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Left-Handed Man was a second year show, the sixth of the season actually. The series starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison, my favorite, as Captain Crane.
Following are a handful of observations about this show:
–This stands …
Mad Hungry with Lucina Scala Quinn: Lunch on the Go TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucina Scala Quinn: Lunch on the Go featured pressed sandwiches, something Quinn says she likes to make for on the go activities. The half hour included a lunch that went beyond the sandwiches to include grilled veggies, like gas charged red peppers and squash.
She talked …
Healthy Appetite, In the Comfort Zone
I absolutely love cooking shows. I watched this one because the chef (whose name escapes me) was making peppered pork, a special kind of garlic mashed potatoes, and a puttanesca. I watched this woman chop parsley, onions, and make a dressing for a new kind of …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Screaming Woman TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Screaming Woman opens for the second time with a introductory scene that is actually a bit of an adventure with Bradbury in the mountains holding a divining rod. Another man comes up to him, recognizing him as a sci fi writer. In …
Ghost Whisperer: Dead Eye TV Show
The latest episode of Ghost Whisperer was a show called Dead Eye, which seems like a good title since when I look at the show’s star, it’s hard not to focus on her eyes, and that’s not really a good thing, and here’s why,.
The one thing about Jennifer Garner …
Dr.G Medical Examiner (tv show)
Friday nights are my personal nights with Dr. G, Medical Examiner on A & E. The show comes on at nine o’clock, EST, and I have found the show to be the best television show being broadcasted on Friday evenings. Years ago, abc had T.G.I.F. being aired …
The Twilight Zone: A Quality of Mercy TV Show
For whatever reason, war stories in this science fiction series just don’t work for me. I enjoy war dramas as a rule, but the stories are too unpleasant for me, I think. The topic of discussion here is The Twilight Zone: A Quality of Mercy, a show …
Stargate SG-1: Summit
As season five of Stargate SG-1 continues, we get the first of a two-episode story. This first part is called Summit. Though we go off-world, the team is again split up, and quite honestly, I just don’t like this show much.
Basically, Daniel is enlisted by Jacob and …
The Trailer Park Boys Christmas Special
Christmas is coming up soon, and its time once again for Christmas specials. I noticed that this year the Trailer Park Boys is going to be releasing their Christmas Special on DVD.
I watched this last year with great anticipation. As any of you Trailer Park Boys fans …
Bleach episode 1
This was the first and possibly the most gothic out of all of the episodes. Never have I seen such a unique twist of ironic comedy and such bitter truth. Fantasy blends with truth. Truth collides with religion. This is certainly an unusual show. Ichigo, the hero of …
Friends Episode: Halloween
I love Friends Episode: Halloween very much. In fact, this is one of my most favorite episodes ever. It is not about the celebration or the significance of it, because I respect all religion and their traditions, but it’s just that yet again, the beloved Friends make a …
Warehouse 13 Season 1 Episode 8 Duped
This episode had to do with Alice, the magical mirror and Lewis Carroll, I really like similar stories because they aren’t only interesting but also educational. What happened is that the secret agent Myka got stuck in the mirror while Alice gets into Myka’s body. Nobody realises what happened …
Songe Bob Square Pants
Sponge Bob Square Pants is my three year old favoite cartoon, she is watching it as I write this. I have mixed feeling about this. Although there is nothing real alarming in this cartoon, the characters are not ones I would want my daughter to copy. The one that …
CSI the TV Series
Until now I consider CSI as the only CSI. Call me prejudiced, but CSI:Miami and CSI: New York just cannot compare. When CSI opened in 2000, I was instantly curious. I think that was the first time that a show featured the people behind the police investigators. It was …
The Young Rebels: To Kill a Traitor TV Show
Sadly for me, To Kill a Traitor was the 13th and final episode of The Young Rebels, a really terrific show that focused on the historical days of the Revolutionary War. At the heart of the show were four young people, all giving their all to beat the …
Outlaw: In Re: Tracy Vidalin TV Show
Outlaw: In Re: Tracy Vidalin gave Jimmy Smits’ character of ex Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza a bit of unexpected drama to tackle. This story includes a twist towards the end that some might see coming early on, but others will be surprised at. It is one …
Beast Wars - Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1
Beast Wars - Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1 picks up almost right where the previous episode left off. In this episode, two stasis pods, both of which were damaged in the crash, produce two new Transformers that are quite unlike any of the previous Transformers to emerge from …
Undercover Boss - UK: Crown Worldwide Group TV Show
The Managing Director sends the new Finance Manager undercover. This is a first that I know of that Undercover Boss has not had a CEO pretend to be a new worker. They talked about the frontline staff knowing the folks who run the company. I suppose …
Star Trek: The Ultimate Computer TV Show
Definitely one of the best of the three year run, Star Trek: The Ultimate Computer is terrific. It’s one I’ve never forgotten and it’s a show that has a lot of layers to it. The basic plot is that Richard Daystrom (William Marshall), a one time wunderkind …
Wanted: Dead or Alive: The Bounty TV Show
Wanted: Dead or Alive: The Bounty, the third episode to air of this western series which starred Steve McQueen, aired in September 1958. Frankly, I had a really tough time getting into this outing. It began strangely in my opinion, and as it progressed, my attention wasn’t …
Discovery channel
Discovery channel is my favorite TV channel. It has got a blend of information and entertainment. I like almost all the programs that r aired on it. My favorites are globe trekker, medical detectors, and many more. Their reception is excellent and hosts are creative and adorable. Most of …
CSI Season 6 Episode 3 Bite Me
Although this episode did not involve any super dramatic events or incredible mysteries; the way it was shot made it really amazing. I think the most amazing aspect of it, was the way they filmed it. The camera and editing style have managed to deliver a real sense of, …

Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 9 begins when Aang, Katara and Sokka arrive in a town looking for food. Katara stumbles upon a waterbending scroll and steals it when she knows they’ll never be able to buy it.
This was a good episode, it had a good plot, …
NCIS: Split Decision
“Split Decision” was a pretty good episode, however, I found it hard to keep up with. Maybe I’m just a little on the dumb side and have to have everything spelled out for me, but somehow I got lost and could not figure out how the ending occurred.
Now …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 8 (Animated)
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 8 begins with Aang, Katara, and Sokka traveling to a temple in the heart of the Fire Nation so that Aang can communicate with Master Roku. Prince Zuko is hot on his trail, hoping to regain his honor by capturing Aang.

Wagon Train: The Jess Macabee Story
Wagon Train: The Jess Macabee Story is pretty funny. The emphasis is on Robert Horton’s character of Flint McCullough who has gone ahead of the wagon train to try and find a food supply. He’d been in the area before, but for the first time, he find …

South Park: The Coon
South Park has gone to great lengths lately to write satire pieces on current events and trends. This episode, entitled “The Coon”, follows Cartman dressing as a Batman like superhero, probably as a means of capitalizing on the success of the latest Batman movies. While not a completely awful …
Ghost Hunters: I am Not Guilty
When I saw the Ghost Hunters episode “I am Not Guilty” was going to visit Dr. Mudd’s house (the doctor who worked on John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated Lincoln), I thought I would get yet another episode that had potential based on the stories surrounding the building but …

It is the Simpsons Christmas episode. It begins with a special show by Krusty and the gang. Whilst enjoying the show, suddenly a fight emerges between Krusty’s cast. they begin to fight and the show is off. The next scene shows the entire family going shopping at Costington’s. There …
Stargate: Infinity: Reality TV Show
Here’s a show to combat video games. Stargate: Infinity: Reality focuses on a world where the inhabitants are found in an auditorium, all playing some virtual reality game and turning into vegetables in the process. I liken this plot device to Stargate SG-1’s The Gamekeeper, where SG-1 …
Star Trek: All Our Yesterdays TV Show
Didn’t Spock just have a romance a couple of weeks back? Well, here we go again with Star Trek: All Our Yesterdays from March 1969. I actually like the majority of this show and with the way that the plot goes, the romance isn’t ridiculous. The …
Snoops: Twice Dead TV Show
Margaret Avery and Stephen Elliott guest starred in the Twice Dead episode of the short-lived TV series called Snoops. In fact, it didn’t even last an entire season. I’m not surprised because I was pretty bored by the whole thing. The only unique thing about this …
Star Trek: The Devil in the Dark TV Show
From season one, Star Trek: The Devil in the Dark is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. There are so many terrific things about this story that make me like it, but the number one element is probably just that it’s the right of a …

Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 14: Doomsday
So ends the second season and Billie Piper’s run as Rose Tyler. With an ominous prediction from Satan, I was expecting Rose to die, and the episode really plays up the possibility, with Rose’s voice over confirming it.
“Shockingly”, it turns out that the Beast was lying, or at …
M*A*S*H: April Fools
The final show of the eighth season, and the last one to feature more than 20 episodes, is M*A*S*H: April Fools. Though it’s only March, the 4077th has begun its pranks early. All of these are pretty funny. However, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) asks his …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Discovers America TV Show
Someone finally fit the bill that the producers of The Andy Griffith Show were looking for. I think Aneta Corsaut was super as Helen Crump, Opie’s teacher, but I’m really not sure why she was better than Joanna Moore. Whatever the reason, we meet Miss Crump for …
Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 4 DVD Collection
After purchasing the other 3 seasons on box set I had fallen in love with the way it was layed out and shown so when I brought home this product I was really very excited. I had already watched the whole of this season and couldn’t wait to see …

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Ambush (Episode 1)
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Ambush (Episode 1)
This is the first episode of “The Clone Wars” TV series. So far it is also my favorite episode, even though it’s mainly about Master Yoda. This picture shows us why he’s a Master Jedi, how clever and wise he really is. …
Stargate SG-1: Grace
Stargate SG-1: Grace could have been the show that changed Sam Carter for the better, bringing her out of her school girl crush days and returning her to the strength and glory she had in the vintage years. Instead, it’s just a show that was pivotal for a …
M*A*S*H: Bombshells
M*A*S*H: Bombshells is a cute little story about a rumor that gets out of hand. Just joking around in the mess tent with Sergeant Max Klinger (Jamie Farr), Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) come up with an impromptu rumor, claiming …
House: Dying Changes Everything
I have to say I hated it when the series House killed off Amber last season. But, I liked how they incorporated her death into the season premiere, Dying Changes Everything.
There’s nothing like seeing a popular character going through a state of mourning to really move you and seeing …
