TV Reviews
Wife Swap
I have watched this show a couple of times on lifetime movie network. It is somewhat interesting and entertaining to watch. Some episodes are a lot better than others. I think it gives people a learning experience who do the wife swap. My favorite part of the show is …
Leverage TV show
Leverage is a show on the TNT channel. It’s a show about a group of professional thieves, as oppose to the random thug kind, that come together to help out a man that was once paid to chase and capture people like them. It starts out as a big …
Family Guy: Bango was his Name O
The Family Guy episode that was on last night certainly was an interesting one. I had seen parts of “Bango was his Name O” but never really appreciated how complex it was until I got to see the whole thing.
Stewie thinks he sees his real father on TV (he …
Comcast - Programming
This review is focusing solely on the programming offered by Comcast Cable in the Northern California region and particularly in Sacramento.
Since coming to Sacramento the last time, Comcast Cable has done very little to increase its channels offered. Let me explain that originally, we had Sacramento Cable. …
Pokemon (TV Show) - The Tower of Terror (Episode)
“The Tower of Terror” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. This is the second episode in a three episode story arc that’s focused on Ash claiming his third badge. In order to beat Sabrina, Ash and company travel to Lavender Town and the Pokemon Tower, where ghost …
Absolutely Fabulous
This is a weird show for me. On the one hand I like it but on the other there are so many things wrong with it I feel a little silly for liking it. Absolutely Fabulous is an English show and that means all it’s humor is …
Hogan’s Heroes: Klink’s Escape
Well, I have to say, the second episode of Hogan’s Heroes I watched at lunch today wasn’t as good as I was expecting it to be.
I think this might have been an earlier episode because they seemed to still be focused in helping other POWs escape and there isn’t …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.11: Dooku Captured
The eleventh episode in the series, “Dooku Captured”, takes a bit of a more lighthearted and comedic approach to it unlike the previous two episodes (”Cloak of Darkness” and “Lair of Grevious”) but does manage to remain interesting at the same time. On board a Separatist freighter, Anakin Skywalker …
Shrek the Halls
This is the second year ABC has had the Christmas special Shrek the Halls on and the first year I got a chance to sit down and watch the entire thing.
It’s a cute special but not really anything overly impressive when compared to some of the other Christmas specials …
M*A*S*H: As You Were
M*A*S*H: As You Were was another one of the second season entries for this wonderful series that just didn’t really hit my funny bone very much. There’s one central bit that I like a lot and enjoy, but a lot of the little subplots don’t really do much, …
AMC “Mad Men” season four premiere “Public Relations”
If there was one series I was really looking forward to watching this summer season, to the point of remembering the premiere date weeks ahead and celebrating the show once it finally aired, it’s surely Matthew Weiner’s “Mad Men”, what I consider to be the most amazing period drama …
MacGyver: Birth Day
In MacGyver: Birth Day, a pregnant woman discovers her ex-convict husband has been using her. She thought they were building a halfway house to help people, only to discover he was using the ex-cons for his own schemes and turning the halfway house into a crime syndicate. …
Wagon Train: The Link Cheney Story
Charles Drake is the main guest star in Wagon Train: The Link Cheney Story, a seventh season entry of this great western television series. Drake is an affable sort to watch. He pulls off bad guys and good guys with ease. Here, he’s a master poker …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Manicurist TV Show
From its second season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Manicurist is memorable mainly for its guest star, Barbara Eden. Best known for starring in I Dream of Jeannie, Eden was an eye popper for the men, and that is exactly what this show put in full focus when …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Balance
“The Balance” is the 18th episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. It is a mediocre episode focusing on the ‘girl power’ combination of Wonder Woman and Hawk Girl. It features the super villian Felix Faust who steals the armor stolen by the U.S. government in episode …
Beverly Hills 90210
I think Beverly Hills 90210 is probably one of the worst TV shows ever made. I hate soap operas, so with more reason I hate this show. It’s a show about a bunch of young collage age kids who have sex with other and everyone. Seriously that is just …
Cha$e episode 6 Twins in the City
Cha$e, Twins in the city is episode 6 in the game show where the participants are being hunted like wild animals in the city of Los Angelis. In this one there are five sets of identical twins competing against one another. It brings out the competitiveness and rivalry between …
House M.D.
First off, let me tell you all that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Usually I don’t like dramas too much, but this one is exceptional. It stars Hugh Laurie, Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Robert Sean Leonard, Jennifer Morrison, and Jesse Spencer.
The Show is all about a doctor named …

This episode picks up where the last left off, with the fire tribe locating both Aang and Kitara as well as the local tribe. The tribe views it as Aang’s fault and exiles him. He takes responsibility and agrees to go. Kitara stands up for him …
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 3
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 3 deals with Juaquin and Kim Hawkins. Juaquin was a professional basketball player who had a stroke and recovered, but was not able to play basketball like he used to so he was let go from his team.
It was nice to see how …
Kim Possible TV show
This kids’ show is great for kids. WHile the heroine, Kim, is a cheerleader, she also gets good grades, is a good friend to her friends, and saves the world through her website.
The best part of the show might be her best friend and sidekick Ron’s pet naked mole …
Sex and the City
The television series Sex and The City is a half hour comedy that once aired on HBO.
Firstly the series no longer screens so if you want to check it out you will have to either wait for reruns on television or check out the DVD.
I like Sex and the …
That Girl: The Detective Story
Aspiring actress Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) gets an obscene phone call one night and calls the police. Soon, a police detective is at her door. This is a cute scene with Ann trying to get the detective to prove his identity a number of different ways. …
Ghost Hunters: The Fear Cage
Well, that was a halfway decent Ghost Hunters episode. I started out watching “The Fear Cage” expecting not to see to much. But, it turned out to be pretty interesting.
The TAPS team visited the Cashman Inn; where a lot of confederate soldiers and generals stayed leading up to Gettysburg. …
Will and Grace
Will and grace is a television show that I started watching about a year ago. I don’t really watch it anymore though. Overall it was an alright show. There were a couple of episodes that I thought were really funny. I think the main reason that made the show …

Blacke’s Magic: Breathing Room is the pilot outing for this dramatic program centering around magician, Alexander Blacke. Blacke is played by the affable Hal Linden, who brings sparkle and intrigue to the role. This magician almost died after a trick went wrong, so he decides to retire, …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Descent, Part One
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Descent”, Part One is not an episode that makes a whole lot of sense to me. This episode marks the return of Lore. He has taken several Borg drones under his wing and plans on releasing them on the Federation with the intent …
The Golden Girls
This review is about a show that is near and dear to my heart. I don’t often get “hooked” on a tv show, much less feel the need to watch the episodes over and over. In fact, more often than not, I turn the channel to a …
The Walking Dead Season-6 Episode-2
In the end of TRP shattering premier,Rick’s plan was going successful until a horn goes off distracting thousands of zombie and leading them back to Alexandria.In this second episode called “JSS”,it is revealed the chaos is created by the savage group “Wolves”. Alexandrian’s daily lives gets rocked when the Wolves …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Episode in Laredo
Have Gun - Will Travel: Episode in Laredo is the second episode of the third season for this western series and it’s pretty darn melancholy. It’s different in its outlook, but I found myself wondering why I was even watching it.
Basically, Paladin ends up killing Sid Kovac (Alan …
Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne: Part 2 TV Show
Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne: Part 2 continues to show the choir master’s latest challenge which is to put together a teenage choir to perform an opera on stage. He has six weeks. I haven’t seen part 1 yet, but apparently, he screened 450 students and brought …

Fallen movie
I have seen a lot of movies and television series about how good triumphs over evil, but this one takes that game to a higher level. What will you do if you discovered that your friend is an angel who have been sent from heaven to make sinners atone …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Regis Philbin
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Regis Philbin proved to be much more interesting than I thought it was going to be. I loved the opening remark when Shatner said something to the effect of, “We’ve known each other 40 years, but we really don’t know each other.”
Regis talked a bit …
The Loretta Young Show: Faith Hope and Mr. Flaherty
I remember years ago as a child watching The Loretta Young Show. The actress was quite beautiful and was very talented. Her shows were a delight. All I remember, though, is watching. I couldn’t tell you an episode. That’s because Loretta Young kept a …

Dancing with the stars
The show Dancing with the stars is a really innovative idea for a talent show. It displays dancing talent of stars that are not dancers. But by the end of the show you wonder why they dont become one. Everyone becomes a professional dancer. You …
Project Runway: Season 8 Premier TV Show
I really loved the prolonged introduction of all of the contestants. The show spent several minutes having the designers meet in groups, little by little. They chatted, and we listened. They met at airports, train stations, and on ferry
boats. They met two at time and …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Horse Trader TV Show
From January 1961, The Andy Griffith Show: The Horse Trader is another show where Sheriff Andy Taylor learns a lesson from his young son, Opie, who is brilliantly portrayed by Ronnie Howard, as he was known back then. It’s more or less a tale of backing up your …
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 …
The Golden Girls: Season 1
I laughed my butt off when I watched the first season of Golden Girls. All of the characters seemed so undeveloped at the time. I don’t mean the acting skills, but in how the actresses came to “know” their characters.
The pilot always cracks me up. Blanche, played by Rue …
Stargate SG1: Crossroads
“Crossroads” is another Jaffa oriented episode of Stargate SG1. As I have said previously in other reviews, I am not a big fan of all the Jaffa storylines. Some yes, but there are others I find very boring. This is especially true when Bra’tac is not …
Stargate: Infinity: Hot Water TV Show
Why is that there is always one traitor on every world to mess things up? I suppose it’s natural, but as a plot device, it’s just way overused. It’s too much of the easy catalyst for why things go wrong. This is what we have again …
Soul Train television show (1970s version)
One of my parents’ favourite television shows in the seventies, was a show called “Soul Train”. I heard them talking about the show from time to time over the years, but never actually got a chance to view it for myself until one Saturday years ago, when a certain …
Stargate SG-1: The Other Side
Stargate SG-1: The Other Side is a good entry for season four of this sci-fi series. In it, SG-1 and Earth test their code of ethics, a charge led by the passionate Daniel Jackson.
At first, SG-1 is all for helping the Eurondans, a race that contacts them, desperate …
Gilligan’s Island - Hi Fi Gilligan TV Show
This episode is great! You know there is not even one dull moment in the whole show, full of surprising events that keeps you guessing what will happen next. It plays as more an outrageous show and yes is unrealistic, but still good. Gilligan of course gets into trouble, …
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Predator/Red Sky at Night TV Show
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Predator/Red Sky at Night was the fourth show in this new series that airs on Syfy. Now this show is a little like the History Channel’s “Chasing Mummies” in that it’s questionable just how accurate of a show it is.
When I watched the …
That Girl: The Seventh Time Around
This episode of That Girl called The Seventh Time Around has a couple of things I like about it, but overall is in my average category. What’s nice about it, though, is just that it’s someone going after Don instead of Ann, thereby showing that both parts of …
