Everybody Loves Raymond
Everybody Loves Raymond stars Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, Doris Roberts, and Peter Boyle. Though I enjoy this series, I do not see why it has won so many awards.
It is a nice inoffensive show, but definitely not cutting edge humor. I firmly …
That Girl: Stocks and the Single Girl
Overall, I enjoyed That Girl: Stocks and the Single Girl from season four of this hit ABC series. It had some great laughs in it, and it entertained me fully for the full half-hour or so. That said, while this is a different take on the rich …
Family Guy: Stewie Loves Lois
OK, I’ll admit it, even though there were some objectionable scenes in the Family Guy episode “Stewie Loves Lois” I think it is still one of the funnier episodes in the series.
You have two major plots. First, Lois fixes Stewies Bear Rupert and he realizes that he loves her …

From season 4, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Poker Fiend begins with guest star Betsy Jones-Moreland, as Mrs. Neal, hiring Paladin to find her husband who left to play poker 5 1/2 months ago. He’s wealthy, and she wants him to stay that way. I’m just …
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Head of Hair TV Show
From season four, Have Gun - Will Travel: A Head of Hair deals with Paladin, a kidnapped white woman, a Sioux guide, and the dangerous Nez Perce Indians. I have issues with this episode, though parts of it are also very good.
It opens with gayly when Paladin …
Family Guy - Halloween on Spooner Street
While Season 9 of Family Guy has been sorely lacking in the department of humor and entertainment, Halloween on Spooner Street was one of the season’s episodes where humor was alive and well in the Family Guy universe. The humor that Family Guy fans have come to know and …
Fireball XL5: Convict in Space
Fireball XL5: Convict in Space takes us back to the Space Pen that we met previously. I get a kick out of this version of prison. It’s such a huge exaggeration of what mobsters in jail would be like. There’s no reality here, but there are some …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 18
I have been watching the TV series Star Trek Voyager for a while now and I am on season 3 episode 18 which is called “The Darkling.” In many ways the title is fitting for this episode. They exchange supplies for knowledge of what lies ahead in this …
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 …
Sea Hunt: Confidential Mission TV Show
For me, the best shows from the underwater adventure series, Sea Hunt, are those that deal with the ocean and the sea life within it. I love the shows that show this life and those that deal with technology. Unfortunately, the show often takes a cloak and …
The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham TV Show
From April 1967, The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham was the final episode of the fifth season. After an amusing opening scene with James Drury as The Virginian and a couple of odd and end scenes, including an action oriented chase of a Medicine Bow posse, …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder by the Book TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder by the Book revolved around a new book that was written in part by an old friend of the Sloans. To Mark’s shock, the book isn’t about recipes but sex stories. That results in some funny moments, but the real story is about the …
Star Trek: Errand of Mercy TV Show
In some ways, Star Trek: Errand of Mercy reminds me of an episode of Stargate SG-1 called The Nox. While the Organians of Star Trek don’t have the odd look of the Nox from SG-1, these stories are essentially the same. It makes me wonder if SG-1 did …
K-ON! Anime
“K-ON!” is the anime series that I am currently hooked on and I strongly recommend it to anime lovers who enjoy watching series that are funny, enjoyable, exciting and educational. The fact that this anime also has lots of great songs in it is another bonus! The first time …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hanging Cross TV Show
From season 1 of Have Gun - Will Travel, The Hanging Cross was a magnificent holiday show. Written by Gene Roddenberry, this was a very different Christmas experience. In fact, the entire structure of the show was innovative in that it deviated from the standard opening.
The …
Touching Evil: Y Me
Bruce Willis is the man behind the American adaptation of this British TV show called Touching Evil. It’s strange and oddly compelling, but if you blink, you’ll liable to miss something important.
Jeffrey Donovan does a great job as Creegan, the quirky detective who responds differently to the world …
John Doe: Ashes to Ashes TV show
Note: the big part of this show is revealed in this review. Some people don’t like to be spoiled, so I just want you to know in advance that I’m giving away the biggest part of the story.
John Doe: Ashes to Ashes is probably the most intense episode …
Stargate SG-1: Fallen
The seventh season of Stargate SG-1 finds viewers delighting in the return of Michael Shanks to the fold as Doctor Daniel Jackson. In fact, his signing and that of Richard Dean Anderson’s came on the same day. The return gave Shanks increased billing. While he was …
The Virginian: Sue Ann TV Show
From The Virginian’s fifth season came a nice episode called Sue Ann. It’s notable for a couple of reasons, one of which is that it starred the terrific Patty Duke and second is that it was the return of Clu Gulager as Deputy Sheriff Emmett Ryker.
This is the …
Stargate SG1: The First Ones
There were quite a few Stargate SG1 fans who were disappointed in this episode, or who ridiculed it. Episode 8 of season 4 - The First Ones - was one of my favorite episodes. Sure, people could accuse me of loving this episode because it was Daniel-centric …
MacGyver: The Secret of Parker House
Season four of MacGyver began with a new opening. It’s basically the same style and sound, just tweaked slightly and new clips interspersed in the old. There’s plenty more of the longer haired Mac in this show. While I prefer the original, I’ll take the revamped …

Stargate SG-1: Watergate
A show I can really sit back and enjoy! Finally! Stargate SG-1: Watergate is a nice episode with a good guest star, Marina Sirtis of Star Trek: the Next Generation. Marina plays a Russian scientist who knows all about SG-1, much to their curiosity.
SG-1 discovers that …
Medium Season 4 Episode 3- To Have and to Hold
Medium Season 4 Episode 3- To Have and to Hold
This time they have manages to write a really freaky episode. Not that it was stranger than usual, is that the creepy guy in the episode went all the way to create that fantasy that creeped me out. But then …
Project Runway Season 6 Finale
Wow, that had to be the most predictable Project Runway finale ever. Arina entered it as the obvious favorite and, no surprise, she ended up winning it.
Of course, I have to say, compared to other seasons, this finale was a bit weak. Carol Hannah had a bit of an …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Pizza Delivery
Synopsis: Spongebob and Squidward are given the task of delivering the very first Krusty Krab Pizza to a customer. However, when Squidward lets Spongebob drive, they end up stranded in the middle of nowhere instead.
What I liked about this episode: Of all the Spongebob episodes, this one has to …

CSI Season 4 Episode 19- Bad Words
I both liked and did not like the episode. To be more specific, I liked one of the cases, because it was unusual and interesting. But the other one was so sad and hear breaking, that I could not enjoy it. It was very strong, well written …
Stargate Atlantis: Vegas
Life gets crazy in science fiction, and that’s certainly true for Stargate Atlantis: Vegas which is a sort of homage to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. There was a lot of buzz about this episode when it was done, so I was curious to see how it played out …
Cupcake Wars: Survival of the Fittest TV Show
Cupcake Wars: Survival of the Fittest refers to an event at the Natural History Museum. This is what the four contestants are vying for, the chance to have their cupcakes used for the big party; that and the price money as well as the recognition.
In the taste round …
The Simpson’s: Simple Simpson
I got a chance to watch a Simpson’s episode last night that I haven’t seen before; Simple Simpson. It turned out to be an OK episode.
I liked this one because Homer ends up becoming a super hero called the Pie Man and rights injustices by hitting people in the …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: George Washington TV Show
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour took an odd turn this time around for its celebrity roast, going from the living to the dead, literally. The Man of the Week was President George Washington, played by Jim Leighton wearing revolutionary war attire. It was an intriguing idea that …
MacGyver: Slow Death
MacGyver: Slow Death is one of those average MacGyver episodes that is very pleasant to watch, though there isn’t really anything spectacular about it. Mainly, it’s an entertaining hour, and that’s really what television is supposed to be. The show has some great interaction with the characters …
Greek: Season 1
When I first saw this new ABC Family television show advertising, I did not think I would enjoy it. I thought it would only be yet another silly and immature teenage television series which I at the time had no cares about like “Dawson’s Creek”, “Laguna Beach” and “Lincoln …

Triggun Episode 18 begins with a flashback over 100 years before the first episode, Vash confronts his twin brother Knives after he murdered Rem’s last relative in July City. They fight and Knives activates Vash’s Angel Arm, which destroys July and puts the $$60,000,000,000 reward on his head. …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fossil Men TV Show

Medium Season 2 Episode 2 - The Song Remains The Same
Allison has another dream (she has them a lot, well I guess that’s the whole point of the show, isn’t it). In this dream she hears and sees the song “I Will Survive” playing loudly and she is dancing to it as if she was in a video clip. …
Boy Meets World
Boy Meets World was a cool show. I watched it religiously when I was a kid and I loved it. It was about a boy named Cory, his best friend Shawn and his friend who later became his girlfriend Topanga.
I think Boy Meets World is the kind …
Diagnosis Murder: The 13 Million Dollar Man TV Show
The music that opened up the fifth episode of Diagnosis Murder, an episode called The 13 Million Dollar Man was very entertaining. It actually made me laugh in that it was an upbeat coy number, very playful in a mysterious sort of way. It was cool. …
Ghost Hunters Academy Season 2 Television Premiere
I wasn’t a huge fan of the show Ghost Hunters Academy last year. But, because there wasn’t much else on TV last night, I did decide to sit down to watch the Season 2 premiere of it.
It still isn’t my favorite show. But, I did see enough changes in …

Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Aquaman’s Outrageous Adventure
The cold open has Batman flying a plane in World War 2. There’s not really any explanation, but Batman has time traveled before so it’s not too outlandish. He teams up with Enemy Ace to defeat..aliens I guess. I’m not sure, there wasn’t much in the …
Lie to Me on Fox
Have you seen the new TV show “Lie to Me”? It is the new Fox hit on Wednesday nights. My husband and I really like it so far. We needed a new show for Wednesday nights and “Lie to Me” is the lucky winner. It has a great new …
The Twilight Zone: A Thing About Machines TV Show
The Twilight Zone: A Thing About Machines is a really odd show. Actually, I can see how the humor aspect of the episode works. I can even see the Future Shock elements, but it’s still an odd outing for this series.
Basically, the story has a wealthy man …
Cold Case Files tv show
Cold Case Files is beginning its new season in a few weeks, and this viewer literally can not wait! This show is just outstanding, if you ask me. Not only is it always interesting because it evaluates murder mysteries from over fourty years ago, which I always …
Ducktales
When I was a kid, I would race home in the afternoon to watch the cartoon Ducktales before doing my homework. Since my daughter seems to be getting bored with a lot of the shows that are currently on TV (especially some of the cartoons) I decided I would …
That 70s Show: Love of My Life
I can’t remember if I have reviewed the That 70s Show episode Love of My Life before. If I have, I’m sorry. But, I saw it again last night and still think it is one of the funnier episodes from the series; at least the very end of the …
Sanctuary show
Sanctuary is a new TV show on the SyFy channel. I was skeptical about the show at first. I mean the concept looked intriguing by the overall look of the show looked a tad too cheap for me, plus it was on the SyFy channel. I guess I should’ve …
