The Office: Survivor Man
Having watched every episode of Survivor Man, the title of this episode of The Office intrigued me. This season of the office has finally hit it’s stride.
The best part about this episode was the same thing as the previous episode, that is the plausibility. Having left behind the large …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 12: Le Voyage Dans La Lune
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 12: Le Voyage Dans La Lune is the only segment not introduced by executive producer, Tom Hanks, in this HBO mini-series. Instead, the introduction is done by Blythe Danner. The reason for the switch is that this is the …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Two - The fry cook games
This episode is really funny, as I am a huge Spongebob Squarepants fan. To me, some of the earlier episodes were better than the newer ones because it really brings out the true characters, and I think that Spongebob and Patrick were a lot funnier in some of the …
The Simpsons Season 4 Episode 3
Homer decides not to go to church on Sunday. He tells her he wants to enjoy one day at home, after working hard in the office. So Marge and the kids go to church in the blistering cold. They are freezing while sitting in the church. Whereas Homer is …
Highway Patrol: Explosives TV Show
The 35th show Highway Patrol from Season 3 was called Explosives and aired in June 1958. While it had action and drama, it also featured poor writing in my view, and maybe even more direction since I would think the director would have some power to make what …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 11: Excelsis Dei
Whereas last episode was overly convoluted, this one provides a plot complex enough to keep you invested, but not so much so that it becomes confusing. There are a lot of aspects at play here, but they all actually tie together whereas in the last episode it was …
Family Guy: Peter, Peter Caviar Eater
Well, that was a funny Family Guy episode, Peter, Peter Caviar Eater. This must have been an earlier episode in the series because we learn a bit more about Lois’ family and how she comes from an upper class family that never approved of her marrying the towel boy …
Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC program)
My mother told me about this show and suggested that I watch it. The concept of a woman giving birth to sextuplets is fascinating in and of itself. Giving birth to more than four babies at once is fascinating. But this show takes things …
CSI Season 4 Episode 23- Blood Lines
CSI Season 4 Episode 23- Blood Lines
This was an absolutely fantastic, yet a bit creepy episode. The greatest thing about it, was the information that we as viewers got to learn from it. And I have to say that this piece of medical fact make me feel a bit …
Star Trek’s Favorite Moments featurette
I love the Star Trek’s Favorite Moments featurette which allows us to get a look at some of the Trek performers and what it is that attracted them to this science fiction series. Michael Dorn, Ethan Phillips, and Tim Russ all spoke about how they watched Star Trek …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 13
Now as the moment has come for the sync tests of the Evangelion pilots, as it happens every week with Nerv, except this test is going to be a little different than what they originally expected. While this test with all of the teenage pilots naked may be one …
Desperate housewives TV series
“Desperate housewives” is a season series which I really loved to watch every week and can be seen (at the time of this writing) at channel E4 on Sundays at 9 pm, there is also another one every Wednesday which is a repeat. I am not really into …
TV Show: The Newlywed Game
Synopsis: Modernized version of this couple’s show airing on Game Show Network. This show pits three newly married couples against each other in a game where they have to guess the correct answer their spouse would give to specific questions.
What I like about this show: One of the interesting …
PBS channel
I have been watching this channel for about an year now. As a mom I find this channel excellent for all age groups. This channel promotes healthly habits and good behaviour in kids. It also has programs related to science,adventure and travel. To list the best, they are: Booh-bah,tele-tubbies,zoom,Arthur,Buster,Caillou,Clifford.
There …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Fifth Victim
Alias Smith and Jones: The Fifth Victim is one of my favorite episodes from this TV series. The premise is that Heyes and Curry, using their alter egos of Joshua Smith and Thaddeus Jones, end up in a poker game where, one by one, the players end up …
Juge Mathis:UPN network TV show
Anyone who tunes in to the UPN network in the evenings has probably had the fortunate opportunity to catch the quick witted rulings of Judge Mathis. Of all the court tv shows on the air, I find that Judge Mathis is the sharpest male judge on the bench. …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 56: Masquerade
The synopsis for this episode filled me with dread. If there’s one concept in this show more loathed than Slimer, it’s the Junior Ghostbusters and this is the episode that plants the seed for that concept. I was all ready to hate this episode and bash on …
The Office: Local Ad
This season of The Office has been alternating between hour-long episodes and half hour episodes and again I find that the half hour episodes are far better. Local Ad is one of those shorter episodes, but it still feels a little like filler.
Perhaps the need for every episode of …
Stargate SG-1: Fallout
As odd as this sounds, I actually enjoy Stargate SG-1: Fallout a great deal. The reason this may sound odd to folks is that this is the one time Corin Nemec returned as Jonas Quinn. In fact, the story was his idea.
The reason I like it, though, …
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a very funny and crazy show. This is a show you either will really love or you will really hate. I think the show is very funny. But some people tell me that they think it’s the worst those they have ever seen in their …
Centennial: The Crime
The most emotional portion of Centennial: The Crime is the demise of Oliver Seccombe. He was an interesting character because he did do some bad things, such as running out on Levi and Elly Zendt, leaving them to fend for themselves; , claiming not to be responsible for …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn Rustic Italian Recipes TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn Rustic Italian Recipes began with the approachable cook talking about gay pesto, as in fun food and good pesto and pasta to eat. I so often learn from Quinn, and that continues to fascinate me. This first segment was focused on …
Smallville: Bloodline
“Bloodline” is the eighth episode of the eighth season of Smallville on the CW. This episode was a little light on action but served to further the eventual arrival of Doomsday, one of Superman’s greatest villians.
Clark is sent a mysterious crystal which sends him to the Phantom Zone. …
Eureka, tv show
It is summer here and during the summer most shows do not air new episodes. From an embarrassment of riches just a few weeks ago when on Tuesday night there was The Flash, The Shield, two episodes of New Girl and different other shows it came down to nothing. …
The Veil: Food on the Table TV Show
The Veil was a short lived anthology series from 1958. I haven’t seen any of them before now, and I find it to be an intriguing broadcast. Boris Karloff hosts the show, and it begins with him doing his introduction in front of a huge fireplace, like …
Highway Patrol: Oil Lease TV Show
From its second season in December 1956, Highway Patrol: Oil Lease centers around a couple of thieves who steal thousands of dollars with the assistance of a stolen bazooka weapon. Now that’s a twist, especially for when this show was produced.
The thirty minute program was mostly action as …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Ted Knight TV Show
As was the case for most of these shows, the The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast honoring Ted Knight as the Man of the Hour was put on at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. What I liked about the hour was that it did include some of Knight’s …
The Simpsons TV Episode: The Bob Next Door
I haven’t watched re-runs of the Simpsons in a while and finally had a chance to catch the one that always airs at 6 p.m. on weekdays last night.
This time around, it was a newer episode I hadn’t seen before; The Bob Next Door. Since it was new, I …
Stargate SG-1: Insiders
Stargate SG-1: Insiders is the first of four shows during the season that is without Michael Shanks. As the star of the show, Shanks had learned from the former star, Richard Dean Anderson, and he’d negotiated for these weeks off so he could be home for two important …
Trintiy Blood episode 15
The Night Lords arc is the longest arc on Trinity Blood. Period. There has been no other arc yet that holds the viewer in awe, fear, and horror is such a contemptible light, as such I have not seen before. This is Trinity Blood episode 15: “The Night Lords …
Kingdom Hospital Television Series
The miniseries “Kingdom Hospital”, was possibly one of the most disappointing Stephen King films I have ever seen. It came across as tedious and of course, there was the lack of dark humor which I expected it to have, being that I heard that it was taken from a …
Models of the Runway: Frenemies
So much for a modeling competition without major drama. This week’s episode starts out where last week’s ended; two models at each others throats because one overreacted when she lost her designer and another one over reacted when the first one got mad at her for not keeping her …
M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry
Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …
Private Eye: War Buddy
In Private Eye: War Buddy, Jack Cleary (Michael Woods) has a buddy from his past, Joe Quinlan, who he tries to help out. Oddly, Quinlan really doesn’t act like he wants the assist. It makes it hard to like the character, that’s for sure. There’s …
M*A*S*H: Captains Outrageous
M*A*S*H: Captains Outrageous centers on Father Francis Mulcahy, played wonderfully with mild perfection by William Christopher. Though Mulcahy has given one-hundred percent of himself to helping out at the 4077th and with the children at the orphanage, he continues to be passed over for promotion. He’s a …
M*A*S*H: The Tooth Shall Set You Free
In M*A*S*H: The Tooth Shall Set You Free, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) has a nasty toothache but refuses to see a dentist, actually denying he’s in pain at all.
While the comedy portion of the show centers on Winchester, the drama is about the latest group …
Cougar Town show
Cougar Town is a new show on ABC. When I first heard about this show I was iffy about it, even though the main character is Courtney Cox. I thought it was an interesting concept, different, but I didn’t tune in until a friend pointed out how great it …
Masquerade: Oil
Masquerade: Oil took us to Rome, the city of love, where the National Intelligence Agency operatives were trying to foil the villains of the piece. The villains are a bunch of Arabs who kidnapped Americans in Kuwait. They took the workers from an oil field and locked …
War and Remembrance: The Music of War and Remembrance featurette
In the War and Remembrance: The Music of War and Remembrance featurette, Bob Cobert, who did the music for both The Winds of War and the sequel, War and Remembrance, talks about his history with producer Dan Curtis, the producer, director, and co-writer of the mini-series, and how he …
Private Practice
When I first heard that Addison from Grey’s Anatomy was going to get her own show I was pretty excited. I really like Kate Walsh and the character Addison so when Private Practice started screening I watched.
It’s different, it’s not a blatant rip off of Grey’s Anatomy although …
Greys Anatomy
Greys Anatomy aired its new fall season premiere for 2009. The 2-hour event was not a let down to Grey fans. True to rumors, one of the beloved characters was indeed killed off the show. I will not spoil and say who but if you follow the show then …
M*A*S*H: Dear Sigmund
The letter home theme gets a bit of a twist in M*A*S*H: Dear Sigmund when visitor Sidney Freedman, a psychiatrist, comes for the monthly poker game and starts a letter to his friend, Sigmund Freud. While doing so, he talks about the magic of the camp and the …
Stargate SG-1: Legacy
Stargate SG-1: Legacy was a standout show for actor Michael Shanks, who played Daniel Jackson. In it, Shanks portrayed what looked like Daniel losing his mind. He was eventually taken from Stargate Command to a padded room at the Academy hospital. It was amazing to watch …
Chuck season 2 episode 4 Chuck Versus the Cougars
This was an episode that kind a wanted to present agent Sarah as a person with a past not just as this insensitive government agent. Unfortunately they couldn’t get me interested in her and I find the story kind a superficial.
We see a girl returning home and seeing police …
The Golden Girls show
How on earth did some of the discussion on the Golden Girls manage to sneak by the censors? Maybe it was because the show featured four acclaimed actresses then in their golden years so the innuendo and raunchiness snuck by them or immobilized them completely. All I know is …
Dr. Phil Show
Dr. Phil Show
I must warn you, this show is truly addictive. It might solve your problems, but it might turn you into a hopeless couch potato who prefers to sit down all day and solve life’s problems instead of causing the usual trouble.
In this show Dr. Philip McGraw is …
Columbo: Old Fashioned Murder TV Show
Columbo: Old Fashioned Murder guest stars Joyce Van Patten as museum curator, Ruth Lytton. It could be said that the museum was her life. Her sister is played by Celeste Holm, who this time around portrays her role with an old vulnerability. Jeannie Berlin guest stars …
The Two Coreys
When I was a child I loved Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. They were absolutly wonderful and complimented each other very well in the movies that they played in together. So what happened. I tuned in to watch the new show the two Coreys. Not only was it extremly …
