In this episode Darien Fawkes, a man who has the power to turn invisible because of a special gland in his brain, has a big problem because he can’t get visible, his body gets invisible without his will and he cant get them back visible. So the scientist who …
Ellen TV show
Ellen was a television series starring Ellen Degeneres and it was a half hour situational comedy. Ellen was a bit of a weird show for me because it seemed to always be entangled with Ellen Dengenere’s personal life.
I think that she used the show as a mouthpiece regarding …
The Virginian: The Orchard TV Show
The Orchard aired in October 1968 and was part of The Virginian’s seventh season on television. The main reason I wanted to be sure to catch this show was that a favorite of mine, Ben Murphy, was one of the main stars. Murphy’s character was ranch hand …
Miss Marple Towards Zero
I have been a big fan of Aghata Christie when I was little although I must admit that I prefer Poirot to Ms Marple because he was so much more excentric and looked much more smart.
Anyway. Ms marple is this small old woman who somehow manages to find herself …
Sea Hunt: The Getaway TV Show
In The Getaway, the 27th episode of Sea Hunt’s second season on television, Jan Harrison portrays Corrine Baker, a friend of deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson, as played by series star Lloyd Bridges. She’s kidnapped by men who stuck up a casino. Naturally, Nelson goes searching …
Gilligan’s Island - Sound of Quacking TV show
After watching this episode, I found it to be rather depressing and sad. I did not enjoy watching most of this show except for the dream sequence near the end which was kind of funny. But still the suffering the castaways have endured and the uncertainty of their fate …
Prison break season 2 episode 10-rendezvous
Prison break season 2 episode 10-rendezvous
This was a nice episode. Just as the rest of the episodes, it was thrilling and adrenaline pumping. The show is a great example of some good TV writing. This one was just a little bit funnier than the rest.
In this episode the events …
Simpsons: Little Orphan Millie
I hadn’t seen the Simpsons episode “Little Orphan Millie” before tonight and have to say it was pretty good.
This one focuses on Millhouse more than other episodes. His parents, who went through a bitter divorce in earlier seasons, get back together and re-marry. But, on their honeymoon, they fall …
Eureka! opening credits Show
The opening sequence for Eureka!, the new series on SciFi, unfortunately fails to do what opening credit sequences are designed to do.
The sequence consists of three parts: first, the credits themselves, which tell you the name of the show and the name of the primary cast members. Second, …
Futurama TV Episode: Love’s Labours Lost in Space
Last night was the first time I had a chance to watch the Futurama episode “Love’s Labours Lost in Space.” And, for the most part, it wasn’t terrible.
Basically, the Planet Express team is sent on a tax deductible charity mission to rescue animals from a planet that is about …
I miss my “Friends”!!!
I know that it was everywhere and I know that people began to find it annoying, but I absolutely love “Friends”!!! I miss it so much. I watched every single episode of every single season in less that 10 days. I just went out and rented Season 6 again! …
Prison Break Season 2 Episode 13
Prison Break Season 2 Episode 13
In this episode things are continuing to get complicated. But there are some funny moments as well.
Michael and Lincoln are captured by the police and are to be transported back to prison. This could have potentially ended the story for everyone. But since the …
The Virginian: Eileen TV Show
From March 1969, Eileen was a seventh season episode of The Virginian. The story involved a young woman named Eileen who visits Shiloh. The trip was arranged by her father, a friend of Clay Grainger. At the heart of the trip is the fact that Eileen …
The Twilight Zone: A Penny for Your Thoughts TV Show
From season two of The Twilight Zone, A Penny for Your Thoughts is one I always love to see. It’s a wonderful story, full of surprise, and it’s well acted by performers who are fun to watch. The basic setup is that on his way to work, …
Gilligan’s Island - The Return of Wrongway Feldman TV Show
I really liked this episode even better than the first Wrongway Feldman episode. This second show gives an explanation why Wrongway is the way he is. His name Wrongway suggests he instinctively takes the opposite direction so there really is not too much surprise he does not like the …
House: Unfaithful
OK, for the most part, last night’s House episode “Unfaithful” was a bit better than some of the more recent episodes in the series. At least we actually had a case that was baffling and the central theme of the whole episode rather than something that takes place on …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The O’Hare Story
The story behind Have Gun - Will Travel: The O’Hare Story was basically water rights. The story takes place in Ashley, California. They are afraid of losing their water and their town dying because a neighboring town of Center City is dynamiting and building a dam. …
South Park TV Episode: The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs
It has been ages since I’ve watched the show South Park. But, I found myself watching a couple episodes last night. The first one was The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs.
This was actually a pretty funny episode; though a bit grosser than I remember the show being. Basically, the boys …
M*A*S*H: The Interview
M*A*S*H: The Interview, while giving credit to Larry Gelbart for both directing and writing, was done in huge part in an unscripted manner. I recall numerous interviews and articles about this when this show aired originally on network television. It received a lot of attention at that …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Man Upstairs TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Man Upstairs, which aired in March 1988, takes place in Paris, France. It’s about a boy who is visiting his grandmother and the people who live there as boarders. The boy, Douglas (Adam Negley), becomes curious about a new boarder, a man …
Project Runway Season Five Episode 2
Season Five Episode Two
Grass is always Greener
Natalie Portman Guest Judge
In this episode, the designers choose their models, but in the work room waits Tim Gunn who has a surprise announcement.
When the designers head back to the design room, they are greeted by Tim Gunn who tells them that the …
Dead Like Me (Showtime)
I gave the Showtime series “Dead Like Me” a chance one day. I liked the concept—that a young lady would be selected to lead other souls to “wherever.” The pilot episode featured a young 21 year-old girl named George Lass. I found this name a …
So You Think You Can Dance - One of Six Voted Off TV Show
Well, actually, the title is a misnomer, and I’m not sure that I agree with the decision for the One of Six Voted Off episode of So You Think You Can Dance.
The five dancing competitors opened the show with an entertaining, Bob Fosse number. I liked this routine, …
Doctor Who: Season 2 Episode 7: The Age of Steel
After the previous episode, I wasn’t really sold on the Cybermen. I’m still not blown away by them, but my opinion of them as foes of the Doctor has increased significantly.
Really though, this episode belongs to Mickey, who gets to shine after being left behind and then …
Gilligan’s Island -The Secret of Gilligan’s Island TV Show
I admit I always feel a bit like an archeologist watching this episode. The excitement of finding rare literature carved painfully into a piece of stone always intrigues me. What message could be so important to carve it into set stone to last thousands of years? And this episode …
Adam-12: Log 26: LEMRAS
The fifteenth episode of Adam-12 in Season 3 was called Log 26: LEMRAS. LEMRAS is an acronym for Law Enforcement Manpower Resource Allocation System, a computer program that predicts where crimes will occur at a certain point during the day. Adam-12 is one of the first teams …
Trading Spouses TV show
Is this the best show on television or what? I mean, it is the most interesting show for sure. My apologies to all of the writers out there in the world of television, but I much prefer heavily edited reality to scripted unreality.
I don’t know exactly what …
Project Runway Season 2
I really enjoyed the first season of Project Runway, and have been pretty happy lately because one of the channels that I get has been rerunning Project Runway’s second season from beginning to end.
I really like this season’s contestants. I especially think Santino is funny and interesting. There …
The Beverly Hillbillies TV Show
The Beverly Hillbillies.
An all time classic, The Beverly Hillbillies was first made around the 1950-1960’s.
There are 6 main characters, Granny, Uncle Jed, Jethro and Ellie Mae, and Mrs Drysdale their banker and neighbor. Miss Jane Hathaway is his secretary.
Granny is a real character. She is always cooking up batches of …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Helpless
One of the things I never liked about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the fact the main character has almost superhero-like powers to help her fight evil; something that gives her almost too much of an advantage.
That’s one thing I liked about the episode “Helpless.” Buffy, who is turning …
The Simpsons Season 8 Episode 15
Bart does some mischief and it costs Homer a lot of money. They do not have that kind of money to pay the gas company. So Marge decides to sell an old figurine. They go to the antiques store to sell this figurine. There they meet a very friendly …
Survivor: Philippines
This is how animal human can be in order to survive. Of course, “human” can just be a word to describe creatures more animal than animals.
I didn’t know there would be a Philippine version of the Survivor show. I thought Filipinos are different in a way that they …
Criminal Minds: Penelope
I finally caught this episode on the ION Channel night before last. I missed it the first time it came on which really ticked me off. Which is funny, since I had never really watched Criminal Minds before. So why was I upset? It was …
Monster Quest —“ Sea Monsters
One of the television shows I ended up watching yesterday while home sick was Monster Quest. I haven’t been a big fan of this series in the past but there wasn’t much else on so I decided to watch the episode relating to Sea Monsters.
It reminded me why I …
MacGyver: Hellfire
MacGyver: Hellfire is another episode that I really enjoy. There are only four characters in it, five if you want to include the helicopter pilot who flies Mac to the remote location where his friends are. As a result, it ends up being a show that is …
Charmed Episode 2: I’ve Got You Under my Skin
This is the second episode of ‘Charmed’ which really showed how the sisters are still trying to adjust to her own power.
The first scene is in Quake, the restaurant where Piper is working as a chef. This scene shows how Piper was really trying to stop herself from using …
MASH: Foreign Affairs
I was waiting for Law & Order CI to come on last night and decided to watch MASH on another channel. One of the episodes I came across was called “Foreign Affairs” and had two unique storylines that were entertaining.
First, you have a Korean pilot being captured and, because …
The Simpsons: Lard of the Dance
Some later Simpsons episodes aren’t as good as the earlier ones. But the episode “Lard of the Dance” is actually quite interesting.
I don’t know if it’s one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen but I like how they tackle the issue of how young girls want to grow up …
True Blood 3.4 “9 Crimes”
If the previous episodes of the newest True Blood season have been uneven, the latest, 3.4 “Nine Crimes” is quite simply disappointing. I can’t say if this is due to source material or simply creative difficulties on the writers’ part, but the pacing is all over the place, the …
True Blood 3.5 “Trouble”
The fifth episode of True Blood’s third season, “Trouble”, unfortunately proved to me once again that this season lacks the steam of the previous season. This might be due to the large number of subplots; despite the recent merging of some of them, namely the overly creepy Franklin being …
True Blood Season 3 Episode 8 (Night on the Sun)
I am a fan or the true blood series and have seen every episode and I have also read all of the books. I do like the plot of the show but I often feel the creators are trying to make each episode a little more unsettling …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Ronald Reagan TV Show
Then California Governor Ronald Reagan was given the honor of being the first official Man of the Week on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Now some of these shows have been repackaged under the title of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, which were filmed in Las Vegas. …
Stargate: Infinity: Museum TV Show
Major Gus Bonner and his team of adventurous cadets are surprised when they blast through the Stargate and arrive at the Great Wall of China, only it’s inside a large structure. Obviously, they aren’t really back on Earth as they first thought. Then they come upon an …
Justice League - “Only a Dream” Part One
Justice League - “Only a Dream” Part One is a solidly entertaining episode that features some fluid animation and a story that is quite unlike any other episode of the series. I kind of felt that this episode was a little predictable in some respects, like when it comes …
Blacke’s Magic: Wax Poetic
Wax Poetic is the last show to air of Blacke’s Magic, starring Hal Linden as Alexander Blacke and Harry Morgan as Leonard Blacke. It has one of the best guest casts of its season, too, led by the magnificent Vincent Price. The actor was approximately 75 when …
The Virginian: The Masquerade TV Show
The Virginian: The Masquerade, a sixth season episode, was one I found to be quite delightful. It was pretty lighthearted versus the serious tone of so many of these 90 minute episodes, and it featured David Hartman, who I often enjoy in his portrayals.
Hartman guest stars as well …
Dr. House show
Watching House with his non-existent bedside manner and amazing diagnostic skills often makes me wish he was my doctor. There are people to make up for his lack of bedside manner. When I go to the doctor in reality they may or may not have a bedside manner and …
Alias Smith and Jones Season 1 DVD set
The Alias Smith and Jones Season 1 DVD set is a book-like presentation with lovely photography and artwork. The ‘book’ slides into the cover box, giving it that book-like feel.
The ‘book’ itself opens up to display the DVDs. Unfortunately, they chose to put two DVDs on each …
