Bones
This isn’t just another CSI copy cat. This is the real thing. Kathy Reichs is the person behind Temperance Brennan, who is a forensic anthropologist for the Jeffersonian Institute. Tempe or Bones, as she is fondly called by everybody, is not your ordinary geek. She’s strong willed, she knows …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - Fear of a Krabby Patty

BBC’s Sherlock Special- The Abominable Bride
So the Christmas special episode of the series Sherlock has been dominating the internet since its outbreak. Sherlock is the modern adaptation of the book Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the 1800s and the series’ Sherlock Holmes is no other than Benedict Cumberbatch who really became more …
The Cleaner: Lie With Me
The Cleaner: Lie With Me is the season ender for year one, and frankly, I just don’t get it. I was ultra disappointed in this show. It’s all about the Banks family and how it suddenly spirals downward. All season long, the story has been about …
In Plain Sight: Don’t Cry for Me Albuquerque
It comes on too late at night for me to watch it on a regular basis but the show In Plain Sight is slowly growing on me. It’s just too bad they had to take the tired old plot line where the main character gets shot; in the season finale …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Clubmen TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Clubmen, a second season entry from this hit comedy series that stars Andy Griffith as Sheriff Andy Taylor, has Andy invited to a private club. He cajoles an invitation for his deputy, Barney Fife (Don Knotts) as well. The series uses variations …

Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 20 begins with the Fire Nation continuing their attack on the Water Tribe and Aang has been captured by Zuko. Sokka and Katara are searching for Aang, hoping to rescue him before it’s too late.
This episode was really intense and exciting and was …
Buffy TV show
I saw an old episode of Buffy today but just because I was doing something on my computer and the TV was on so I gave it a look every now and then.
I didn’t like this show when I was younger and I didn’t liek it today either. Before …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - My Pretty Seahorse
One day while Spongebob was outside playing by his house he finds a lost seahorse. He really doesn’t know much about it so he decides to name the sea horse “mystery” because it is such a mystery to him. They play around all day and they are really having …
China Beach: Lost & Found Part 2 TV show
China Beach: Lost & Found Part 2 was the tail end of the first outing for this dramatic series as it entered its second season. As was always the case for this groundbreaking series, there was a lot going on throughout the hour.
The show revolves around the nurses …
Roseanne
Roseanne is probably the worst TV show I have ever seen. It’s about a fat slob named Roseanne. She is not funny, her voice is annoying, and she is not pretty. How anyone could find this show funny is beyond me. Every time I see the show starting up I …
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 …
Beast Wars - Equal Measures
Beast Wars - Equal Measures is an episode that I like on some levels, but dislike on others. First, the good. Terrorsaur gets some, not a lot, but some development in this episode and the viewer learns that he has ambitious goals of his own and a duplicitous streak …
Naruto Episode 7 Subbed
Episode 7 is calmer than the previous episode which is surprising considering that the fight that is brewing will be much greater than any other action scene seen so far in the show. The tension is clear when the episode starts as Kakashi tries to get information out of …
Hawaii Five-O: Twenty-Four Karat Kill
Things get personal for Five-O when one of their team is injured in Hawaii Five-O: Twenty-Four Karat Kill. The team goes after a gold-smuggling outfit that is led by an arrogant man named Johnny Fargo, played convincingly by Kaz Garas. Fargo is very sly and adept, …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 21 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 21 has Jet receiving a mysterious email from an old friend and he decides to investigate.
This episode was very well done and it’s very unique and it was a lot of fun to watch. It’s not every day you get to see a shootout in …
Sea Hunt: Mark of the Octopus TV Show
Sea Hunt: Mark of the Octopus is told in part as a flashback to 4 years earlier just after Nelson had left the Navy. He was doing underwater resource. I just loved the big sea turtle they showed during this sequence. For me, it’s the views …
That Girl: The Apartment
That Girl: The Apartment has some great scenes in it. Basically, Don Hollinger is going out of town so he lets his girlfriend, Ann Marie, use his apartment since hers is being sprayed for pests. It’s the perfect setup for merriment, and we get a lot of …
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 …
Columbo: Short Fuse TV Show
Wow — what a lineup! Guest starring on the Short Fuse episode of Columbo are Roddy McDowall as Roger Stanford, Anne Francis as Valerie Bishop, James Gregory as David L. Buckner, Ida Lupino as Doris Buckner, and William Windom as Everett Logan. This is my kind of …
Masters of Horror Series
Masters of Horror was a television series that aired on Showtime for two seasons. Since Showtime is a pay channel (and fairly expensive in my area), I didn’t see the episodes when they first aired. Instead I purchased the episodes as they were released on DVD, which happened at …
Poltergeist The Legacy show
I think that Poltergeist The Legacy is the best supernatural and scary show to ever come on TV. One thing I really liked about this show was that is actually came on very last on weekends. I mean this show has it all evil spirits, demons, monsters. And it even …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 9
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 9 is a continuation of Futures End this being part two. I thought it was pretty cool when Commander Chakotay and Torres attempt to grab Starling out of his own car with a transporter from a shuttle. But it couldn’t be that simple …
The Simpsons: Tennis the Menace
Homer Simpson once said it is better to watch something than do something. That piece of wisdom comes from the episode Tennis the Menace and, given the content of that episode, makes some sense.
I actually like this episode. It’s much funnier than you think it would be. Homer takes …
A Man Called Hawk: If Memory Serves
A Man Called Hawk: If Memory Serves has an interesting premise, one I haven’t quite seen before, at least not in this type of presentation. The story revolves around Alex Chavin (Paul Butler), a Haitian man who remembers everything he hears and reads. It’s not a photographic …
Catterick
Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer aren’t the most straight laced of comics, and they’re certainly not the kind of performers who’ll appeal to everybody. However, with their sitcom “Catterick”, the offbeat pair manage to deliver something surprisingly…well traditional wouldn’t be the right word to use, but they don’t do …
The Cleaner: House of Pain
I had to chuckle as I watched the early portions of The Cleaner: House of Pain. For some reason, I just never recognize people on this show. Whether that’s supposed to be the street and drug element of the series, I don’t know, but I’ve discovered after …
Diagnosis Murder: Witness to Murder TV Show
I don’t care much for Diagnosis Murder: Witness to Murder. There are some nice scenes with Dick Van Dyke as Dr. Mark Sloan trying to help a little girl named Blair who has been abused and doesn’t speak. He reaches her a little through drawing and such. …
The Philanthropist
I had really high hopes for The Philanthropist when I first saw the commercials. It looked like an exciting action/adventure show with a real human element, and important moral message. The pilot lived up to those expectations. Telling the story of a billionaire who suddenly snaps …
LG 32″ 720P Television
I absolutely love my LG 720P LCD television set. Given to me as a surprise from a very special friend, I have faithfully been watching television magic on the 32 inch screen. The image quality of the screen is absolutely fantastic and very clear, conveying colors vividly and crisply …
The Young and the Restless
The Young and the Restless has been one of my favorite TV shows for the past 15 years. There is always a new twist. The writers find a way to incorporate mayhem and mishaps through the lives a few select families. The families are all rich, but some richer …
HGTV
If you have cable television a great show to watch 24 hours a day 7 days a week is Home and Garden television. The shows they feature are how to fix it show and repairs on rooms in ones house. Such shows like Design remix or Design …
George Lopez, Carmin Runs Away
I watched this episode of George Lopez. There is this huge loser that works at the same place where George works, and he is interested in Carmin, George’s daughter. In front of George, Loser expresses interest in Carmin, and she shoots him down, saying she has a …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Ned Zed
This is a cute idea and a neat way to tell a story that wouldn’t work with the current storyline. It’s like someone had an idea for the Brisco character, but wanted it set in an earlier timeline of the series. To make that work, they added …
John and Kate Plus 8
If you want to see a real family and see all of the ups and downs of running a large family, then John and Kate Plus 8 is one show you should see. One reason why I like it is the fact that they do not sugar coat …
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - 5/29/09
May 29, 2009 marked the end of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after 17 years. I was never a fan of Leno, and I felt NBC shenanigans resulted in him getting the job over David Letterman. The thing is, I’m not a fan of Letterman, either, …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Goodbye Iowa
Well, Professor Walsh certainly didn’t last very long on this show. One episode after trying to kill Buffy, she herself is stabbed to death in the episode “Goodbye Iowa.”
The romance between Buffy and Riley already seems strained by this episode too. He doesn’t want to accept the fact the …
Run’s House (MTV TV show)
Now this is a reality show that I find really interesting. I like it because of the participants. Run, of RUN DMC is the father figure in this show. He’s a Reverend who is very positive with this children, and instills really good values in them. …
That Girl: The Night They Raided Daddy’s
That Girl: The Night They Raided Daddy’s has Lou Marie (Lew Parker) telling his daughter, Ann, that he’s going to retire. Not believing that her father is ready to get out of the restaurant business, Ann does some digging and finds out that the restaurant has been having …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 3 has Section 9 investigating Mr. Todokoro, who is rumored to be managing former Secretary General Yakushima’s assets. He’s worried about a thief named Cash Eye stealing his money during an exclusive high society party.
This episode was pretty …

Spicks and Specks is an Australian musical quiz show which is aired on TV every Wednesday at 8:30pm on ABC. It works that there is the host, and two team leaders. They each have two different guests each week which answers some quizzes related to music.
There are many rounds, …
The Prisoner: Once Upon a Time
The Prisoner: Once Upon a Time is the second to the last episode of The Prisoner series. There were only 17 filmed. My understanding is that it was one of the most expensive shows to produce. I have no idea what its ratings were like and …
TV show How I Met Your Mother
How I Met Your Mother (”Mother”) is a fairly entertaining ensemble comedy that will remind you of a lightweight version of Friends. Mother airs on CBS, although I am not sure what time it will air this coming fall, for its fourth season. I do think it …
Ghost Hunters: The Stone Lion Inn
Hmm, I watched my final disk in the Ghost Hunters Season 2 DVD collection I’ve been renting yesterday and have to say the one, The Stone Lion Inn, was a bit on the dull side.
The first case was, of course, the Inn, which was supposed to be very haunted. …
Voyagers!: Pursuit
Voyagers!: Pursuit was another good episode and one I enjoyed a lot, in part because it dabbled just lightly into the space program, which is a topic I’m very interested in. Do a good space show, and the odds are I’ll enjoy it.
Apparently, it’s young Jeffrey Jones’ birthday …
Battlestar Galactica: A Disquiet That Follows My Soul
Every episode of Battlestar Galactica is an experience and “A Disquiet That Follows My Soul” is certainly that. This show takes place shortly after The Battlestar Galactica discovers that earth was destroyed and people are still trying to regain their composure.
The president is having the most trouble, retreating from …
