Unorthodox : Law & Order SVU
OK, I’ll admit, this was an interesting episode for the most part, but I do have to question exactly why the producers of this show went out of their way to attack the culture of orthodox Jews when the rapist turned out to be a child; not one of …

Celebrity Big Brother 2010 (UK)
I am engrossed in the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother 2010 which, as I write, has been running for just over a week on Channel 4, with a couple more weeks to go. This is the very last one so I am trying to appreciate it before …

Columbo: Ransom for a Dead Man TV Show
Columbo: Ransom for a Dead Man is the first official outing for the TV series, Columbo. I believe this actually began as a mystery movie of the week, airing once a month in rotation with other mystery movies. The series was spawned by a movie called Prescription: …
Entertainment Tonight
There was a time when Entertainment Tonight was a viable, worthwhile entertainment news magazine. I actually saw their first show, so I’ve witnessed a bunch of changes in format, tone, and hosts. While change is sometimes good, it’s also sometimes bad. Right now, when I think …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 36: Hanging by a Thread
I mentioned before how I liked that this show incorporated various mythologies into their story lines. This takes that idea and kicks it up to eleven. It centers around a horde of demons trying to steal the shears of the Fates to try and take over the world. …
Highway Patrol: Prisoner Exchange Copter TV Show
This 30th outing from Season 4 of Highway Patrol, a half hour police drama starring Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, is entitled Prisoner Exchange Copter. I was rather glad to see another show that gave us helicopters in the plot. If you go back and count …
John Doe season 1 episode 5 John Deux
This episode really has an awkward title if we know that Deux means two in french. At first I was really wondering why would the producer entitled this epsiode the way he did bu then I realised that it is because of a man who shows up and has …
Ghost Hunters: Red George & Valentown Museum
Another season 2 episode of Ghost Hunters and another disappointment for me.
Once again, the TAPS team is called in to investigate a house (which are always a waste of time) only, this time, we get to see Jason’s hometown in the process.
Most of the evidence is quickly debunked (the …
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 …
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, …

Good Queen Fun

On the runway, Heidi introduces the designers to a special guest, who body image seems to be larger then life behind the silhouette screen. There’s a loud laugh and Chris from season 4 …
Psych TV Episode: Disco Didn’t Die. It Was Murdered
My wife decided she would rather talk to her pretend friends on Facebook last night than spend any time with me so I turned on another re-run of the show Psych that I had not seen before. This time around, it was the season 3 episode Disco Didn’t Die, …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Fifth Bullet TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Fifth Bullet which aired in September 1962 was the 3rd episode from the sixth season, and it was a pretty good one, too. The magic of the episode stemmed from its concentration on two terrific actors. The vast majority of action …
Adam 12 - Log 71
This particular episode of Adam-12 isn’t that high up on my list, though it does have some memorable moments.
A lot of folks remember this one for the face off that occurs between two supposedly passive guru types, one of whom is played by “Police Woman” star, Charles Dierkop. …
Red Dwarf: TIkka to Ride
I don’t fully understand what the title “Tikka to Ride” means but then I have always suspected that there is quite a lot in Red Dwarf that I am missing. This is the first episode in Series 7 and though there are considerable stupid things in any episode …

Well, that was an interesting Simpson’s episode. I haven’t seen “How I spent my Strummer Vacation” before but it turned out to be pretty cool.

Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: 9-15-10 TV Show
I never would have thought it in a thousand years, but I really enjoying this new cooking show that is part of the new Hallmark Channel Home block of daytime programming. It’s called Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn and its September 15, 2010 episode was its …
M*A*S*H: The Price
M*A*S*H: The Price has a cute first few seconds with Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) riding back into camp on his horse, Sophie, and singing a cowboy song. As a lover of the western and cowboy world, I found the entire thing to be really adorable.
A big part …
Twilight Zone Season 1 Episode 1: Where is Everybody?
The Twilight Zone was a famous show that ran for many years in the 1950s. It was unique in that it had no recurring cast, except for Rod Serling, the narrator. Each episode was self-contained, and each one told the story of a person in extraordinary, usually supernatural, circumstances.
“Where …
Harper’s Island Episode 9
Harper’s Island Episode 9 is more exciting than the previous one. This one is more dark and mysterious for me. The fact that the killer is lurking out there and anytime is trying to kill and get more victims make this a more exciting watch than the previous …
The Apprentice UK - Episode 2
In watching this second episode of The Apprentice UK, I realized this was a director’s cut. I don’t know if that’s because it’s ‘on demand’ or if that is how the BBC America channel is airing it, but apparently, these aren’t necessarily as they are seen in Britain.
This …
Back to You show
Back to You was one show that I was really looking forward to seeing. With two of my favorites,Kelsy Grammer and Patricia Heaton, I was expecting one of the best shows in years. I was so disappointed. It seemed like they were trying to clone Frasier Crane and that …
Beauty and the Beast TV show
As a person whose a big fan of police dramas and classic love stories, I was skeptical about this show at first; though I decided that it wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot since Kristin Kreuk stars in it. Figured since she was a pretty good actress in …
So You Think You Can Dance - Top Seven Perform TV Show
This was the Top Seven Perform episode of So You Think You Can Dance. Following are the highlights, and low lights, from my point of view:
–Another injury, this time it’s Ashley. Last week we lost Alex, so it would be horrible to see another dancer go home …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Love’s Young Dream TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Love’s Young Dream featured Gunsmoke’s Ken Curtis as a colorful character named Monk. Of course, this was before Curtis made that jump on Gunsmoke. He’s a hoot in this bit, but I kept waiting for him to call Paladin, “Mr. Dillon” or …
Beast Wars - Cutting Edge
Beast Wars - Cutting Edge is an episode that has some decent action, but other than that, does not really appeal to me. For one, I do not find Cheetor developing a crush on Blackarachnia or the tension that emerges between Silverbolt and Cheetor as a result to be …
The Real Ghostbusters episode 24: Ain’t Nasa-sarily So
After two pretty weak episodes, the show comes back in full force and shows us why this cartoon is still as enjoyable today as it was when we were kids. The episode is pretty much “Ghostbusters in Space” and it makes for quite the entertaining story. Part …

“Snapped” (Oxygen crime show)
I didn’t realize there were so many women in the world who were willing to kill their husbands, boyfriends, and rivals in order to get what they want in the world. Some of the women featured on the show have killed abusive husbands and stepfathers. Others have …
Simpsons: Homer’s Barbershop Quartet
I saw a Simpson’s episode I haven’t seen in a while “Homer’s Barbershop Quartet” and it is as good as I remember it.
For those who haven’t seen this episode (or maybe don’t remember it), it talks about a time in Homer’s past when he, Principal Skinner, Apu and Barney …
Sky Sports TV Channel
I watch Sky Sports on a regular basis, especially in the morning when I want to catch up with all the sports news. The channel tends to cover all the sports I enjoy watching, mainly Premiership football which is usually the primary focus of the network. One problem I …
Criminal Minds, TV show
Criminal minds is a TV show that will run its eleventh season this year. Eleventh season! There are not many TV shows that can brag with eleven seasons. I saw a few episodes of this show in the past few years but never entire episode, just pieces of an …

Smallville Episode 8.15 Infamous
Even from seeing the commercials, I knew that by episode’s end they would’ve pressed the reset button. I was hoping that they wouldn’t, but I knew deep down that it would be the case.
Still, this was a good episode. Clark finally outs himself as the …
The Beast - Nadia
The third episode of A&E’s series, The Beast, is called Nadia, and once again, I’m intrigued.
Patrick Swayze’s Charles Barker character continues to excite. He’s natural and at ease with the part. His actions and movements are subtle and well timed. He’s a veteran performer, and it …
Eureka Seven episode 37
In an clash of beliefs and a clash of dreams meet reality in one definite boom. Tell me this, young star which the heavens so openly embrace in their omnipresence of existence, why must man fight among themselves and why must we hold such an doubt when an lie …
