Laramie: Midnight Rebellion TV Show
Laramie: Midnight Rebellion features Robert Fuller as Jess Harper, and it’s a pretty dramatic hour for this superbly done television western. The ending has a lot of action and poignancy to it, and it does get intense at times.
However, let’s start with the opening scene from this show …
Stargate SG1: Fallen
This episode opens with a bunch of villagers finding Daniel by the stargate on their planet. Seems Daniel has descended without anything including his memories and his clothes. While this made many female viewers happy, Michael Shanks admitted that although the idea looked good on paper, playing …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ethics
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ethics is really a very enjoyable and thoughtful episode that effectively explores two sensitive topics and presents both sides of each topic equally: assisted suicide and testing experimental procedures on patients that, in one case, is willing, and the other case, too injured …
Stargate SG-1: Entity
Stargate SG-1: Entity is a decent fourth season entry for the series. Here, Sam Carter gets taken over by an entity and refuses to leave her body, that is until Jack threatens the entity. Then the entity leaves the body, and Sam is declared brain dead, kept …
The Haunted (Animal Planet)
“The Haunted” is a paranormal show that oddly enough, is shown on the Animal Planet. I found this weird until I realized that the show’s premise is that animals can see and hear things (otherworldly things) that human beings cannot. And after watching a few episodes, …
Highway Patrol: Anti-Toxin TV Show
Highway Patrol: Anti-Toxin revolves around a very urgent theme. Of course, today it would be handled more expediently due to our technology, but when this show was produced, options were more limited. What happens is that a ten year old boy is in need of a rare …

The Andy Griffith Show: Barney on the Rebound, a second season episode of this hit comedy series starring Griffith as Sheriff Andy Taylor, focuses on Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) and his attraction to Melissa Stevens, a new gal in town played by Beverly Tyler.

Friends sitcom
Although this show is no longer on the air with new episodes, it is often on with reruns, and the DVDs are readily available at most major retailers, so it is easy to get your hands on them.
We love this show. When there is nothing on televsion, we often …
The League of Gentlemen - Series Three
The League of Gentlemen may have quickly established itself as a sketch show with a difference, but with the third series comes an even more original, ingenious approach.
While the first two series’ may have impressed with its over reaching story arcs and ever developing characters, this third and …
Stargate SG-1: Prototype
Stargate SG-1: Prototype is, on the surface, a fairly decent show for the ninth season of this series. It has drama and surprise. My problem is more with characterization and the direction it takes one character.
First things first, in Stargate SG-1: Prototype, the team discovers what turns …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Force of Habit TV Show
David Carradine and Chris Potter starred in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Force of Habit. This first season episode is a bit intense and tackles the subject of abuse. It begins with Detective Marty Stramm (Kim Coatest) who is upset that his son won’t fight back against …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Enemies
I have to say, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Enemies” really had me fooled when I watched it; and that’s not something that happens very often.
I knew from a couple episodes back that Faith had entered the services of the mayor and was no longer fighting evil; she …
That Girl: Anatomy of a Blunder
One of the changes from the original pilot and the actual show is that the Maries had already met Don Hollinger, Ann Marie’s boyfriend, in that first show. In this show, Anatomy of a Blunder, Ann and Donald are going to Brewster, New York for him to …
Time Between Dog and Wolf: MBC Drama 2007
Time between dog and wolf; an action romance drama aired in July of last year from MBC, is one of the best suspense series I loved watched. I followed this series from the time it was shown, because I like Lee Jun Ki. In fact, that was the main …
Simpsons: Double Double Boy in Trouble
It was only a matter of time before The Simpsons crossed the threshold and do the whole “we discovered a twin for one of the characters so let’s have them switch places.”
Yep, it’s been done dozens of times before so why not do it on a show that once …
Beast Wars - A Better Mousetrap
Beast Wars - A Better Mousetrap is an episode that primarily focuses on Rattrap, although the episode also provides newcomers Blackarachnia and Tigertron with some material that allows their characters to be fleshed out a bit more. This episode is also a treat in the respect that much like …
The Amazing Race reality show
The Amazing Race is a reality show where teams of two people race against other teams of two all over the world, doing very unique tasks along the way.
The show usually starts with all of the teams in an American city where they are sent off to their provided …
Stargate SG-1: Collateral Damage
Stargate SG-1: Collateral Damage is another of the season nine shows that I tolerate Ben Browder’s Cameron Mitchell character a bid more than in other shows. It’s probably for the same reason as the last time — he’s somewhat away from the team and able to be himself …
Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 2
I have finished watching Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 2 yesterday on my local TV channel and it was another fun and dazzle episode once more with lots of colorful characters filling through. For a start, you get to see Gabrielle trying so hard to get back inside the …
Mr. Monk and the Leper
I am a huge fan of the television series Monk. However, Friday’s episode, Mr. Monk and the Leper was a bit of a disappointment.
While the show still kept most of it’s trademark comedy, the episode seemed to lack a lot of the mystery that has kept it a top …
Street Hawk: The Unsinkable 453
Street Hawk: The Unsinkable 453 bored me more than anything else. It started out being about a prisoner who may or may not really be who people thought. From there, it got even more flat for me. There just wasn’t one piece of this episode that …
Star Trek: Voyager - Inside Man
“Inside Man” is a season seven episode of “Star Trek: Voyager” that I like a little, but that is about it. What I like about this episode is that two characters from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” appear: Lt. Barclay and Counselor Troi appear and deliver entertaining moments, especially …
E! True Hollywood Story TV show
The show E! True Hollywood story is a great series for a great many reasons. One of those reasons for me is that they show a side of a person’s life that we as an audience never really get to see up close.
The show chooses a celebrity that …
M*A*S*H: Carry On, Hawkeye
M*A*S*H: Carry On, Hawkeye is one of my all time favorite shows of this medical comedy series. Back before the days of VCRs, I actually recorded it onto a cassette tape and listened to it often. In the show, one by one the entire camp comes down …
How I Met Your Mother - Sorry, Bro
“Sorry, Bro” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. You know a show has hit its stride when it can be funny even in an episode consisting of the main characters sit around a table, drink beer, and tell …
The Twilight Zone: One More Pallbearer TV Show
The Twilight Zone: One More Pallbearer was an interesting show that wasn’t all that unique in presentation but which had a bit of a twist at the end. However, when you really think about it, the twist has been done a few times throughout the series. So, …
Watch What Happens: Live
Watch What Happens: Live is new to the Bravo Channel in 2009 and personally, I think it needs to go away and be a memory. I just wasn’t impressed at all by what I saw. The only reason I tuned in was to see who the Top …
MacGyver: Bushmaster
In MacGyver: Bushmaster, MacGyver is sent to rescue a downed pilot named Joe Henderson. A complication ensues when Joe’s daughter, Kelly, shows up, wanting to rescue her father herself. Kelly’s on a mission to prove to her dad that she’s every bit the son he never had …
Stargate SG-1: Sight Unseen
What I like about Stargate SG-1: Sight Unseen is Jack out and about in Colorado Springs. Okay, it’s Vancouver, but he’s out there in his truck, driving around, getting gas, and shooting at things that aren’t really there. Best part of the show.
Second best part of Stargate …
Death Note Episode 11
Death Note Episode 11 has Sakura TV airing a message supposedly sent by Kira, predicting the deaths of news anchors who have spoken out against Kira. When people start to die, Soichiro Yagami, Light’s father, decides he must do something to stop Kira.
This episode was amazing; I was surprised …

This episode of Lost, which originally aired on March 4, 2009, is another step forward in advancing the plot of the series towards next year’s final season. After four years of teasing viewers with tiny snippets of information, J.J Abrams finally begins to reveal the secrets that have eluded …
Criminal Minds —“ Season Two —“ Episode Twenty Four —“ P911
Another pedophile case, only this one revolves around online pedophiles. Elle comes back from medical leave and its obvious she is still having issues. I mean who wouldn’t be. But she is on edge and its pretty bad, she disobeys Hotch’s orders and just goes around doing her own …
Rock of Love
It’s hard to believe that a gaggle of beautiful women are so desperate to attract the attentions of an aging rock-and-roller that they would put themselves through all types of humiliation. Apparently, though, it is true, as evidenced by VH-1’s reality show “Rock of Love.” In each episode, …
Stargate SG-1: 48 Hours
I do enjoy Stargate SG-1: 48 Hours, but it’s one more Earth-based story, and it’s yet another one where the team is divided up. One misses the vintage years when SG-1 went exploring, and they were truly a team.
Here, Teal’c finally gets his revenge. Let’s all cheer! …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Beau Geste TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Beau Geste, the fifth episode of the sixth and final season of this western series, is one I’ve seen a couple of times in recent history, but which I just can’t grab onto for some reason. Something about it doesn’t work in retaining …
Eureka Seven episode 42
As the chaos of the battle for control of the fate of the world continues, we are thrust in its perpetual turmoil, forced to make our decisions as fast as we can, against the very odds that were set into being only by god himself. This is the Ultra …
How I Met Your Mother: The Stinsons
“The Stinsons” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother that aired on CBS on March 2, 2009. This was a great, energetic, creative episode of one of the best sit-coms on TV! The plot revolved around Barney but everyone got some funny lines.
Pros: The …
Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special
I love Carrie Underwood and I think if she plays her cards right, she’ll be around for decades and end up being a country music legend. Of course, there’s a long way to go before then, but she has the potential. As someone who watched the high …
MacGyver: The Gauntlet
MacGyver: The Gauntlet is another episode with lots of action in it. MacGyver is once again sent overseas, to South America, to rescue a photographer, played by Robin Curtis. She’s got the goods on a couple of bad guys, and they know it. Hence, the big …
Boston Legal
“Boston Legal” is about a law firm that consists of a team of skilled, but quirky defense lawyers. How can anybody not relish being able to see William Shatner and James Spader as Denny Crane and Alan Shore battle it out in a “ham” acting competition every episode? …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 11: The Lodger
After the downer ending from the previous episode, we get a more light-hearted romp that really thrives on its comedy. The opening leads you to believe that we’re going to have a “companion lite” episode as the Doctor is seemingly booted off of the TARDIS and is unable to …
Super Mario Bros. Super Show
Mario was once everywhere. I mean, Mario is still a very popular character and Nintendo’s been churning out more fantastic games starring the plucky plumber, but back in the eighties, and even into the early nineties, Mario was on everything. Much like how Pokemon was slapped onto every single …
Simpsons Treehouse of Terror XV
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 …
VH1’s I Want to Work for Diddy
VH1 has a new reality show called ‘I Want to Work for Diddy’. Here we go again, everybody wants to have a reality show, and this one isn’t even Diddy’s first reality program, I guess her can’t get enough of showing off to the world who he is and …
Stargate SG-1: Lockdown
Stargate SG-1: Lockdown is one of the best episodes of season eight; in fact, of all of the latter seasons of the show. It’s full of good stuff.
In this story, Anubis has made his way to Earth and ends up taking over different people’s bodies. The problem …
