The Twilight Zone: The Old Man in the Cave TV Show
From November 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Old Man in the Cave has its moments, but it’s not really a favorite episode. It’s more odd than appealing, and I’ve never found it to be all that satisfying as entertainment goes.
Apparently, some bomb has gone off, and the world …
The X-Files Fallen Angel Episode
When I first watched this episode on The Sci-Fi cable channel, I could not understand what it was about. I found myself wondering constantly if the thing Mulder and Scully were investigating in the episode was a literal fallen angel or a U.F.O. I could not understand how a …
Cowboy Bebop episode 9
As lasers bear strange signs on the face of planet earth, a bounty is raised for the culprit behind such a deed. So on Cowboy Bebop episode nine:”Jamming with Edward” strikes head on and shows the ruined earth for the first time, finally letting the viewer see what is …
Due South: Spy vs. Spy
Due South: Spy vs. Spy was a fairly decent episode of this final season of the adventure drama. It had some interesting and clever elements to it, as well as some small comedy that worked for the bizarreness of the story. Basically, the caper surrounds a secret organization …
The Simpsons Season 6 Episode 19
It is some English fair. The entire town attends it. There are different stalls over there. While trying to catch a rabbit, Lisa stumbles upon a fortune telling stall. The lady says that she can predict Lisa’s future. And so the lady begins to tell the story. The story …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 9
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 9 has Major Kusanagi going after the Cabinet Intelligence Agency’s database after Section 9 fails to secure an ex-GSDA officer.
This episode was very well done and interesting to watch. It was very awesome to watch Motoko …
Sliders-Rules of the Game
This is the first episode of the third season of Sliders (at least the first on the air, although it was not the first on the production line) and it is here that we can see the once mighty series start to head down hill. It is not …
The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid TV Show
The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid is the second show of this new law series that is as much comedy as it is drama. For example, in the opening tease, the first bit has the series leads, Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell, standing below the big, bold billboard …
Mercy
Mercy is a new hospital drama on NBC on Wednesday nights at 8. I started watching it from the pilot, expecting a half decent medical show. I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are very appealing, the medicine is realistic, and the plotline is dynamic enough to …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Krusty Krab Training Video
Let me start out by saying my whole family are really big fans of all his episodes, and we even have most of the Spongebob Squarepants seasons on DVD so we can watch them at any time. The Krusty Krab training video takes place towards the end of the …
Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations
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 …
Adam 12 - Log 62
This episode of “Adam-12″ has a sub-plot that most of us can identify with — the sound under the hood of our cars that drives us positively batty until it finally stops. We just hope that once it does stop, our cars are still running! In this …
Jeremiah: A Means to an End
Markus Alexander (Peter Stebbings) has come a long way in this first season of Jeremiah. From being happy in his seclusion at Thunder Mountain to this episode, A Means to an End, when he’s finally open to bringing in others from the outside to try and secure a …
Malcom in the middle
I really like the TV show Malcom in the middle. I have always enjoy this show ever since the first day I saw it. I remember in the old days when I used to watch this show on Sunday night. It’s a very good show and I think it’s very …
That 70s Show: It’s a Wonderful Life
You know, it’s been years since I’ve seen the actual movie It’s a Wonderful Life. But, I haven’t had any desire to watch it again because of all the shows that feel the need to do their own take on that film.
I ended up watching another one yesterday afternoon …
M*A*S*H: Depressing News
M*A*S*H: Depressing News is a very good episode that is also thought provoking at points. The setup begins when a truckload of 500,000 tongue depressors when they’d only ordered 5,000. It’s an obvious error, but it’s one that strikes a chord inside of Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda). …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - One Krabs Trash
One day Mr. Krabs decides to have a yard sale and get rid of things to make some money, just because he is so cheap. He finds things in other people’s trash and resells them, and that is the way he is. Well, one day Spongebob and Patrick decide …
Wagon Train: The Whipping
The Whipping episode of Wagon Train focused more on the Bill Hawks character, played by Terry Wilson. The character is background much of the time. Wilson was on the show forever, but was overshadowed by Scott ‘Denny’ Miller as Duke Shannon and later by Robert Fuller as …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 5: Spider
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 5: Spider gets my immediate attention because it begins with the theme song to Fireball XL-5. I adore that old series from the mind of Gerry Anderson. It was very dear to a very dear friend of mine, and he …
South Park: Margaritaville
This episode of South Park, entitled “Margaritaville”, is meant to be a satire on the response to the failing economy. As the world treats the economy as a living entity, the people fall do everything they can to not spend money as a means of appeasing this economy. This …
MacGyver: Kill Zone
Quite honestly, I hate MacGyver: Kill Zone and I hate it for a simple reason. I’m an animal lover, and I do *not* like what happens here. I don’t like what I have to look at in the opening scene that is the set up for the …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Zeppo
One of the great things about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series is the other characters who help her in her battles. So, it’s refreshing to see an episode dedicated specifically to one of those characters, like the one entitled “The Zeppo.”
This one focuses on Xander and how he …
Laramie: The Long Road Back TV Show
Laramie: The Long Road Back isn’t really one of my favorite episodes, but that’s mostly because it’s an hour that focuses on John Smith’s character of Slim Sherman. I so much prefer the buddy shows in which Smith shares the western hour with Robert Fuller and his much …
Space Balls the Animated Series
The other day, I was looking for movies on Netflix Instant Watch and came across Space Balls the animated series. Since I loved that movie, I figured I would take the time to watch the cartoon.
The cartoon wasn’t very good.
I don’t know what they did in other seasons (if …
Desperate Housewives Episode: The Tornado
Desperate Housewives Episode: The Tornado is so scary and in fact, this is one of the best and most awesome episodes, which makes me shudder because out there, there might be real stuff like this happening and my heart is beating so fast and I almost cry. I really …
That Girl: Soap Gets in Your Eyes
In That Girl: Soap Gets in Your Eyes, Ann gets a job on a soap opera which is ill timed since she’s about to meet Don’s parents. Don’s mother happens to watch the soap opera and isn’t able to separate Ann from her not-so-good character that she portrays. …
Match Game show
Have been watching an older game show on the game show network. It surprised me how entertaining it is. It has the host and six television stars on a panel. The host reads the questions, they are in comedic form with a blank the stars have to …
Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader
When the game show Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader came out, I didn’t think it would be any good. And, because of that, I didn’t watch it.
However, I’ve been seeing some re-runs of the show on some of our local channels and have to confess, it is …
Star Trek: Albatross TV Show
Star Trek: Albatross is an angst filled episode of this animated series from 1974. It’s a new plot idea and not one taken from the live action series. After assisting a planet by bringing them medical supplies, Kirk is stunned when the aliens take McCoy into custody, …
Thriller: Man of Mystery TV Show
I was probably more interested in Thriller: Man of Mystery from April 1962 than I have been in most of the other shows, except maybe one that guest starred William Shatner.
This episode guest starred John Van Dreelen as Joel Stone, financier and playboy, and he’s interested in a young …
Adam-12: Citizens All
One thing that always stands out about Adam-12: Citizens All, a fourth season episode of this crime series, is the segment in which actor John Smith portrays. Smith is notable to me because he co-starred in my all-time favorite TV series, a western called Laramie. He’ll always …
Mr. Monk Fights City Hall
Only 16 more episodes remain of the series Monk. And, after last night’s episode “Mr. Monk Fights City Hall” I’m really finding myself not caring too much anymore. And, that’s kind of sad considering this was my favorite show at one point.
The episode, which featured Monk trying to save …
TV Show: Good Eats
Good Eats has to be one of my favorite shows on TV. It comes on the Food Network every day at 7 pm/ 6 central with new episodes appearing every wednesday night at 10 pm/9 central. This show is hosted by Alton Brown, a cinematographer turned chef turned food …
That Girl: I Ain’t Got Nobody
The plot surrounding That Girl: I Ain’t Got Nobody is that Ann’s picture is inexplicably in a major girlie magazine, creating chaos for everyone who knows her and interfering with her attempt to be cast on a children’s show with a character called Captain Gooney (Kenneth Mars).
A positive thing …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 57: Janine’s Day Off
Janine finally gets some vacation time, and uses it to bring Egon to meet her folks. I know that she’s crushing on Egon, but this seems to imply that they are in a bona fide relationship. Egon even says that he’s not ready to meet her folks. …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 6: The Vampires of Venice
The TARDIS picks up another crew member as the Doctor decides to bring Rory along so that he can spend time with Amy. I imagine it is also to keep Amy from putting the moves on him. More than that, he probably doesn’t want to be the …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Blind Circle TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Blind Circle is a bit different in ways. The story revolves around a man named Hughes, played by Gerald Gordon who I remember mostly from a stint on General Hospital, hiring Paladin (Richard Boone) to stop a man from killing someone. Gordon …
Ryan shecklers life on MTV
I’ve only watched this programme a couple of times and I must say it’s the biggest load of crap I have seen on MTV in a while. I’ve been a skateboarder for 6 years and there’s nothing more I want to see than skateboarding being more accepted and recognized. …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Not Normal
Synopsis: Spongebob decides he wants to have a “normal” life and goes through the necessary changes; both emotional and physical.
What I liked about this episode: As is often the case, this show took something that could have gotten stupid or dull really fast and managed to exaggerate everything to …
Dexter Season 6 Episode 7: Nebraska
I so loved Dexter Season 6 episode 7 titled “Nebraska”. As his dear friend Brother Sam passed on, Dexter (Michael C Hall) has seemed to lost the light that he found. This time, his Dark Passenger, in the form of his late brother (The Ice Truck Killer) is …
Top Chef: Washington D.C.: Restaurant Wars TV Show
Top Chef: Restaurant Wars was the latest episode for the Washington D.C. season of this reality cooking show. The 2010 cast has spent the season in the nation’s capitol as they vie for the honor of being named the latest Top Chef.
This cast is one of the more …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Thirteen—“ Poison
Poisoning is probably the worst way to go. Because you don’t know what it is that killed you. All you know is that you are sick. So this episode really freaked me out. It showed what happens when the media gets a hold of something and doesn’t report it …
That Girl: ODPDYPAHIMCAISFSS
This That Girl episode focuses on more false assumptions, which often leads to fun. In ODPDYPAHIMCAISFSS, or as this crazy word stands for, Oh Don, Poor Don, Your Pants Are Hanging In My Closet And I’m Feeling So Sad, Don Hollinger’s mother comes to town for a visit, …
New Girl ‘Road Trip’, TV Show
New week and a new episode of New Girl, this one is entitled Road Trip. I am really excited about it. The creators of this show always find a way to make trivial things sound hilarious. For those who do not watch this show, New girl is a sit-com …
Murder She Wrote
Why does everybody seem to die around Jessica Fletcher? This question plagued my childhood when watching Murder She Wrote, every Sunday before the dreaded school day Monday reared its ugly head, was tradition.Surely, someone would notice, be it the first Sheriff played by Tom Bosely or his replacement. …
Two And A Half Men: A Mooch At The Boo
“A Mooch At The Boo” is the episode of Two And A Half Men originally airing on CBS on November 24, 2008. This was a great episode because it focused mostly on Jake. My wife and I love the Jake-centered episodes. The young actor who …
Ghost Hunters: Domani’s & The County Jail
After seeing the St. Augustine Lighthouse episode minutes before, the Ghost Hunters episode Domani’s and The County Jail proved to be a bit of a disappointment.
The TAPS team checked out a restaurant in New Jersey that Dave Tango recommended. The investigation really turned up very little, other than a …
Stargate SG-1: 1969
1969 was indeed a very good year, at least for the team members of SG-1 when they end up walking through the Stargate and finding themselves not in their own time anymore.
Stargate SG-1: 1969 is really a super fun episode that I adore watching. The team’s reaction to their …
Smallville Season 8 Episode 3
To me this episode of Smallville was a bit bizarre. The story was that Oliver Queen had been poisoned and only had twelve hours to live so Clark and all his buddies had to find out what was wrong with him and find an antidote.
It brought up …
