Dora the Explorer: Rapido Tico
I ended up coming home yesterday to my daughter watching Dora the Explorer on TV (thank you Direct TV for all those kids’ channels). As I sat down relaxing, I ended up watching one episode with her “Rapido Tico.”
This episode was basically dedicated to their friend Tico the squirrel, …
The Apprentice UK: S6, Ep 2 TV Show
I have to say that for the most part, I am preferring the United Kingdom’s version of The Apprentice UK over the American one. It’s more how British Lord Alan Sugar handles the show. It’s not the same as Donald Trump, and he has more surprises, though …
DC Cupcakes: Pilot TV Show
DC Cupcakes: Pilot is a new half-hour series that just began airing on one of the cable networks in the USA. The name is taken from the fact that it follows a couple of sisters who are in the cupcake baking business in the Georgetown areas of Washinton, …
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 1- Pilot
This is the beginning of the series, and the whole story is being introduced in a very clever way. It really made the story look appealing. But there was this feeling that it was going to be some clever spy-like story where the hero outsmarts everyone and manages to …
Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XIX
Ok, I have to say the latest Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors (number XIX) was absolutely hillarious. It was a genius bit of writing that you haven’t seen on the show in a while.
The middle skit on the show, where Homer is hired to kill celebrities, isn’t the greatest but …
The Twilight Zone: Long Distance Call TV Show
Not a favorite, The Twilight Zone: Long Distance Call is an eerie episode about an egotistic, possessive grandmother who believes she lost her son to his wife and who has every intention of taking her beloved grandson with her to the grave. There’s no love there; that’s perverted.
Before …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 13 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 13 has section 9 looking into the case of a kidnapped heiress after she is spotted after 16 years since she was kidnapped by a anti cyberization group.
This was an okay episode, it wasn’t the best in the series, and it …
Stargate Atlantis: Search and Rescue
The fifth and final season of Stargate Atlantis begins with an episode called Search and Rescue. Now this concludes a story that was done as a cliffhanger in season 4, and I didn’t see that. Actually, the only reason I’m reviewing the fifth season is because an …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - No Pickles
Even as an adult I love to watch Spongebob Squarepants. I think that little sponge is so adorable and he is so funny. In this episode, there is a bully in which he comes into the Krusty Krab and accuses Spongebob of making a Krabby Patty incorrectly. …
A Jetson’s Christmas Carol
We’ve been watching a lot of Christmas specials on TV the past couple of days and came across one I hadn’t seen before; even though it has been out for some time.
At first, I thought A Jetson’s Christmas Carol would end up being a predictable and boring story. I …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 10: Take Two
This episode gets a bit on the meta side as the Ghostbusters travel to Hollywood to act as consultants on the production of a Ghostbusters movie. Interestingly enough, it’s THE Ghostbusters movie. Direct references are made to Ackroyd, Ramis, and Murray; who obviously starred in the picture, …
Thriller: Waxworks TV Show
Boris Karloff did his amazing introduction and exodus of Thriller: Waxworks from the second year of the anthology show. The show revolved around Jacquelin’s Wax Works which is an exhibit of wax figures of famous murderers. The Twilight Zone may have gotten its idea for a Martin …
That Girl: My Sister’s Keeper
One of the best shows of the entire That Girl series was this third season show called My Sister’s Keeper. I’ve remembered this episode from the very first time I saw it, and in fact, I remember some of the publicity from it when it originally aired.
The co-producer …
House: Brave Heart episode
Last night’s episode of House, Brave Heart, wasn’t too bad.
After suffering through a long baseball game waiting for it to come on, I was a bit confused at first because it looked a lot like a cop show. But, it turns out the case involves a cop who comes …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Buccaneer TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Buccaneer is the 22nd show of this successful 1960’s TV series. It begins with a distraction at the secret sub harbor where the Seaview is docked in Santa Barbara. Of course, it’s not a secret to everyone, as is proved …

Highway Patrol: Escort TV Show
Highway Patrol: Escort was somewhat interesting to watch. The basic plot was quite simple in that the California Highway Patrol was assigned to make sure that a prominent senator made his way safely to the hearings. The man is controversial, and some of the bad guys really …
Blue Planet: Seas of Life television specials
Blue Planet: Seas of Life is a five part documentary series from the BBC which aired on the Animal Planet and Discovery networks. The show was absolutely fascinating. Each segment covers a different aspect of the ocean. There is one on the polar oceans which discusses …
Danny Phantom
The only time I really watch Danny Phantom is when my cousins come over. They are ages three, six, eight and ten. I think it’s a pretty cool show from what I’ve seen. I also like some of the messages it teaches kids. There was one episode when there …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 1- Payback
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 1- Payback
An interesting beginning to a series. Although I think it was a little bit too dramatic, it did make an impact and was interesting to watch. The only thing that really bothered me was that by trying to introduce …
Full House Season 7
Full House season 7 signaled the beginning of the end, though it doesn’t appear as though any of the cast knew it at the time. As I watched the episodes, I couldn’t help but wonder if the producers were planning on making it the last season, and then changed …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 1, Episode 6: Imprisoned
While looking for food, the group comes across another Earthbender. It’s funny how this chapter is called “Water” and, Katara notwithstanding, we haven’t really seen any water benders. We’ve seen more of the fire and earth benders, but I’m sure we’ll see them in time.
When they greet …
Stargate SG-1: Spirits
Love it, love it, love it! That’s how I describe my feelings towards Stargate SG-1: Spirits. This second season episode doesn’t get a lot of acclaim, but it’s been a hit with me from the first time I saw it.
The opening scene catches us off guard with …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: 9-14-10 TV Show
I like the laid back manner in which Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn is produced. Even though instructional cooking shows aren’t my thing, I find myself more curious than I would be normally because Lucuinda looks and sounds approachable. In this September 14, 2010 show, she …
The Million Pound Drop - TV SHow - Channel 4
The Million Pound Drop, hosted by Davina McCall on Channel 4. With Big Brother ending there was clearly a need to utilise her presenting ability elsewhere as she is quite a draw and to be fair, I think someone has had a master stroke with this idea.
The quiz shows …
Seinfeld: The Boyfriend
I’ve been watching re-runs of Seinfeld late at night (while waiting for my wife to get home from work) and have seen some classic episodes; including “The Boyfriend.”
This is one of the funnier episodes of the series because they manage to get baseball player Keith Hernandez to guest star …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Dead Run
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Dead Run is another standard; no, make that, below average outing of an adventure series that just has never found its core. With Bruce Boxleitner starring as Frank Buck, big game hunter and adventure seeker, the show just doesn’t know what it wants to …
Forever Knight tv series
As I was remembering the popular series “Renegade” recently, I also remembered the television series “Forever Knight” that used to air on local television around that same period of time. When the series “Forever Knight” started to air on the local television channel that brought it in the nineteen …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Suzanne Somers TV Show
From Las Vegas, it was Suzanne Somers being honored as the Woman of the Hour on this edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. On the dais from Three’s Company were Norman Fell, who was moderately funny in his presentation, and Audra Lindley.
Lorne Greene, Lee Meriwether, Norm Crosby, …
Hawaii Five-O: The Box
There’s a huge guest cast in Hawaii Five-O: The Box. Everywhere you turn, there was a familiar face, and that always makes a story more fun in my opinion.
Gerald S. O’Loughlin, Gavin McLeod, R.G. Armstrong, and Al Harrington are a few of the familiar faces in this cast. …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Cooked Goose
James Hampton and Sondra Currie guest star in Tales of the Gold Monkey: Cooked Goose as a newlywed couple, Alan and Phyllis Shoemate. After spending a week on a little island, Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) finds Alan severely injured and Phyllis disappeared.
One thing that bugs me a little …
The Most Extreme show
“The Most Extreme”, on Animal Planet, is a show you can watch with your kids, because it will fascinate and educate both adults and children. Every episode deals with certain special characteristics animals have and they narrow it down to a list of ten animals that exhibit the …
All in the Family The Complete Fifth Season
The fifth season of All in the Family represents a slight shift in the way stories are told: some of the season consists of multi-part stories as opposed to single, standalone stories. Now the later seasons, particularly season eight, will be made up of even more two and three …

Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 11 begins with Aang, Katara and Sokka headed toward the North Pole when they come to a large canyon. They discover that two tribes are at odds with one another and refuse to help each other. Aang tries to help them settle …
Beast Wars - Before the Storm
Beast Wars - Before the Storm is an episode that serves as a lead-up to the two part season finale. The last three episodes are essentially all connected, and actually, the events that are set into motion in this episode will not be resolved until the end of the …
That Girl: That Girl’s Daddy
That Girl: That Girl’s Daddy from season 5 is an interesting story in a way. It’s one that also has a continuity error. At the beginning of the show, Lou Marie (Lew Parker) is trying to get inside Ann Marie’s (Marlo Thomas) apartment when a policeman stops …
Stargate SG-1: The Ties That Bind
Stargate SG-1: The Ties That Bind continues the foolishness of season nine with the bracelets that link Daniel and Vala together. They actually end up going all over the galaxy to try and find the secret of the bracelets. It’s like a huge scavenger hunt, in which …

A Taste for Death - Part 2 brings the end to the fascinating character of Sir Paul Berowne. He’s been murdered, along with a tramp. Or was it a murder suicide? And who killed who? There are a lot of questions, and few answers as …
Columbo: A Deadly State of Mind TV Show
George Hamilton guest stars as Dr. Mark Collier in Columbo: A Deadly State of Mind. Hamilton appeared in another episode later that I prefer over this one, which is a okay, but not as good as the other one. This show is all about the power of …
CSI Season 1 Episode 16 Too Tough to Die
I really loved this episode. I did not care much for the first case, not because it wasn’t interesting and not because it was not important, but because of all the emotional story behind in. I don’t like it when the writers write some extra sentimental or righteous scenes …
Adam-12: Backup 1-L20
There’s some internal turmoil for Adam-12 when their watch commander is accused of hitting a man with his vehicle in Backup 1-L20. To make it worse, there are spectators who claim that Sergeant MacDonald was careless and speeding.

Family Guy: Death is a Bitch
Well, I have to admit, when it comes to Family Guy episodes, the episode “Death is a Bitch” is pretty funny.

Stargate SG-1: Forever in a Day
What do you do when you feel like your character is being held back? For Michael Shanks on Stargate SG-1, the answer was ask the producers to change the direction. The issue at hand was Daniel’s wife, Sha’re, who had been taken host by the Goa’uld and …
That 70s Show: Baby Don’t You Do It
I have to admit, that was a pretty funny episode of That 70s Show; “Baby Don’t You do It.”
I think I reviewed the episode that happened prior to this one, where Eric and Donna think she’s pregnant because she missed a pill. Well, this is a follow up episode …
HBO television
Am I the only one who has been wondering what is going on with HBO tv these days? I swear, back in the day, I could turn on HBO and regardless of the time of day or night, there would always be some intriguing, hot, steamy thriller on. …
