Blacke’s Magic: Vanishing Act
Blacke’s Magic: Vanishing Act aired on February 12, 1986, and quite honestly, I’m very prejudiced towards it because I was lucky enough to be on the set a couple of days, including one of the location shoots. I was able to meet the director, Walter Grauman, as well …
The Rapture (Discovery Channel - Religion Program)
The Discovery Channel just aired a program on The Rapture that I found rather interesting. The Rapture encompasses the idea of Jesus coming to rescue people who have had faith in Him prior to a seven year period of earthly damnation. I was surprised to learn that …
Bold and the Beautiful
Bold and the Beautiful is my favourite soapie. I first started watching it when I was just 16 years old and I have been watching it ever since, I am now 29 years old.
The best thing about this show is that is the 13 years that I have watched …
M*A*S*H: Ping Pong
M*A*S*H: Ping Pong quite honestly isn’t one of my favorite shows, though it does have a couple of interesting elements to it. Overall, though, it was a little slow for me, even with the dramatic bits that were included in this half-hour episode.
There’s a beautiful Korean wedding that …
Paranormal Witness (Paranormal Documentary Television Series)
One of my biggest guilty pleasures is watching series about people’s experiences with the supernatural, especially during Halloween time. The problem that I’ve had with many of these series though is that they’re extremely trite, hard to believe and not scary at all. I started watching Paranormal Witness because not …

Once Upon a Time (ABC tv series)
I’ve always had a love for Fairy tales and Disney movies and so I was intrigued when a family member introduced “Once Upon a Time” to me. I didn’t have a lot of hope for it though since it looked a little low budget and I didn’t see how …
Friends season 1 episode 3
The episode 3 called “The Thumb” started very hilariously, where Phoebe got dumped by a guy in subway, and all of the friends were discussing about the nature of the guys while dating. Then we get to see that Rachel is trying to do well as a waitress, and …

Oprah Talk Show
One of my favourite television talk shows is Oprah. Oprah is on Channel 10 at 1pm in the afternoon.
One of the reasons why I like watching her shows is because Oprah the talk show host is really genuine and down to earth. I like it how she has not …
That Girl: Call of the Wild

Dollhouse
Dollhouse is a television show that aired on Fox. At first I wasn’t too interested in the show, it seemed too scientific and filled with jargon. The basic premise being people sign their lives over to a corporation for five years and in that five years their …
Grey’s Anatomy Season 5 Finale Now or Never
I became a fan of Grey’s Anatomy just recently and once I started watching I couldn’t stop anymore. In fact, I finished watching Season 4 and 5 in just two days.
The season 5 finale for Grey’s Anatomy was aired just a couple of days back. The Now or …

Emergency!: Crash
Emergency!: Crash is the final episode of the series’ first season. It’s notable as well for being the second and last appearance of John Smith as Captain Hammer. Salary demands kept him from continuing in season two, which I thought was a shame because he did a …
The Game (CW network sitcom)
The CW racks up points for triflingness again with sitcom “The Game.” Featuring one of the Mowry twins, Wendy Raquel Robinson, and a few unnamed actors, this show is actually incredibly popular. I have even seen blogs on Mediatakeout.com wherein people were trying to save this show …
Deadliest Catch
I have been watching “Deadliest Catch” on The Discovery Channel for several years now, and still enjoy every new season. With the recent death of the Cornelia Marie’s captain, Phil Harris, I find myself saddened that he won’t be around in future seasons of the show. I …

Centennial DVD Set
Centennial was an awesome, all-star mini-series that celebrates the land. That’s an oversimplification, but the epic begins with mountain men daring to enter Native American territory. We see pioneers settle in what becomes known as Colorado, and we go all the way to modern day. It’s …
ABS-CBN: My Girl
MY girl Korean version is really one of my favorite Korean Dramas! That Korean drama introduced me to Lee Jun Ki, on of the lead actors of the show, and he is, to this day my favorite Korean star. My girl’s story is light, moving at times and really …
Destination Truth: Chullachaqui/Bermuda Triangle
Wow, that was a great episode of Destination Truth last night.
First, they traveled to South America (again) to hunt down a mythical creature called Chullachaqui; which looks a lot like a goblin. When we first started watching this I told my wife there was no way they would find …

CSI Season 1 Episode 7 Blood Drops
A really great episode, although it was a bit melodramatic at the very end. In this episode the CSI teams is called to a scene of what looks like a work of a cult. Half of the family inside the house is murdered with a knife- the mother, the …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Beauty and the Beasts
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Beauty and the Beasts actually turned out to be a good one because of the mystery involved.

Max Headroom: Whackets TV show
I have to say up front that when I see the name of this Max Headroom episode — Whackets — my mind goes to a classic musical called How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. In that movie, they are talking about widgets, and to me, whackets …

Synopsis: After being told she needs to find a new sound, Hannah (Miley) decides to become the anti-Hannah and sing a song that is much edgier than she normally does. However, her dad and her friends think she might be taking things too far.
What I liked about this episode: …
Psych: Tuesday the 17th
There aren’t many shows that do a Friday the 13th episode. But, watching Psych last Friday and seeing them do a spoof of the movie was kind of cool.
Ok, it wasn’t really true to the film. But, seeing Shawn and Gus investigating a disappearance at their old youth campground …
M*A*S*H: Comrades in Arms: Part 2
M*A*S*H: Comrades in Arms: Part 2 continues the story begun the week before when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) finally consummated their love-hate relationship amid being shot at away from the 4077th. It’s actually a pretty believable aftermath to everything that had transpired between …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 5: The Jersey Devil
This was an episode that I had never seen before, so I was rather excited to tune into see how this played out. Once again, it veers from the extra-terrestrial conspiracy plot line to give us a “monster of the week”. This time it’s the Jersey Devil. …
Whoopi: The Squatters TV Show
From March 2004, NBC aired Whoopi: The Squatters. Whoopi stars comedian Whoopi Goldberg as Mavis Rae, owner of the Hotel Lamont. Guest starring in this episode is the wonderful Celeste Holm. She’s a resident at the Hotel Lamont who is suffering a bit of senility. …

Highway Patrol: Policewoman TV Show
Season three of Highway Patrol featured a show titled simply Policewoman. This 27th program of the year had a new twist that I really enjoyed quite a bit. The action in the first portion of the show is featured away from the normal cast that includes Broderick …
Futurama Season One
Futurama is one of those poor shows that never really got its chance. The show was added to the Sunday night lineup on FOX, as part of its all cartoon night. It was just different enough that fans of The Simpsons and King Of The Hill could never quite …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney’s Replacement TV Show
It’s amazing how many of the opening scenes to The Andy Griffith Show are classic moments, vintage scenes that are among the show’s very best. In fact, I’ll take it to a broader scope and say they are among the finest comedy that TV has to offer. …
TV Doctor Who - The Ambassadors of Death
Another 7-Parter in the 8th Season of Doctor Who and another wonderfully scripted episode.
Tensions between the Doctor and UNIT are growing as the Doctor is still bitter at UNIT’s apparent genocide of the Silurians in the previous serial.
Despite the great story, this did terrible in the ratings as the …
Spongebob Squarepants: Scaredy Pants
Now that Halloween is coming up, there are plenty of Halloween movies and television episodes on TV. One of those shows is Spongebob Squarepants: Scaredy Pants.
The episode is pretty interesting, in my opinion. It’s Halloween night and everyone in Bikini Bottom goes out of their way to scare Spongebob …
Adam-12: Log 175: The Con Artists
The opening banter of Adam-12: Log 175: The Con Artists is cute. Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) complains to his partner, Officer Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) that his father-in-law is continually buying toys and things for his baby. It’s cute as he worries about there not being …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 3: The Fires of Pompeii
The Doctor and Donna arrive in what they think is ancient Rome, only to realize that they’re in Pompeii. Even worse, they’re on the verge of Volcano Day.
This is one of those episodes where the sum of its parts turned out to be greater than the …
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 …
Ten Years Younger TV Show
Ten Years Younger is a TV show on TLC where they pick someone who feels like they look old and make them look ten years younger. They first take the person out on the street in a glass sound proof box and ask 100 people on the street how …
Burn Notice: Hot Spot
Burn Notice: Hot Spot from season two isn’t really a big hit for me. The basic concept is that Fiona continues to help Michael try to find out who is trying to kill him, while Michael’s ‘job’ for the show is helping a football player who is in …
Cover Her Face - Part 3
Cover Her Face, Part 3, moves this P.D. James murder mystery along significantly. One of the things I like about this particular outing, though, is that the storyline is much easier to follow than those in later outings. I felt that way about The Black Tower, too. …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Pedestrian TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Pedestrian is an interesting show worth watching. I will restate here one of my complaints from another review and this is that I wish Bradbury, from who all of these stories emanate, gave us just a bit more of a setup from the …
Titanic: The Mission Part 3 TV Show
Titanic: The Mission Part 3 was the middle show for this British documentary series of 5 programs that took a unique look at the Titanic and offered a very different approach at educating values and, even more importantly, honoring that great ship that became such a part of world …
Spongebob Square Pants Series
I admit that I watch cartoons and to be honest I’m a bit choosy when I watch because I only want to tune in to a good and humorous cartoons and I hate a show that is full of nonsense. While my sister is watching television I watched with …
Starz
Starz is one of the premium movies that you can get. I used to have all of the movie channels and then I did away with them. When I used to have them all of them were really good. Now none of them are as good as they used …
