Stargate SG1: Avalon Pts 1 and 2
This two parter introduced us to many new characters at SG1 while losing Richard Dean Anderson as General O’Neill. Even though he made a cameo during these episodes, it was not the same as having him around full time.
Viewers got to meet Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell played by …
Space Balls the Animated Series
The other day, I was looking for movies on Netflix Instant Watch and came across Space Balls the animated series. Since I loved that movie, I figured I would take the time to watch the cartoon.
The cartoon wasn’t very good.
I don’t know what they did in other seasons (if …
The Rachel Zoe Project: Fashion Addiction TV Show
The Rachel Zoe Project: Fashion Addiction was the season finale, but I think the suspense is over since these shows are taped so far in advance. The absolutely big personal issue addressed during this TV season was the baby issue. Rodger, the husband, is getting desperate to …

Da Vincis Demons (tv series)
During the year I found a few series I started watching, but most of them were discovered by way of the internet. I actually found out about this one when it began advertising on the cable television channel, Starz, a little before the series Spartacus was set to have …
Blossom
When I was a kid I really enjoyed watching Blossom. Blossom is one of those shows that i think about fondly as a nostalgia type of series. The show at first was about Blossom, a girl who lived with her dad and brother who were adjusting to …
Stargate SG-1: Message in a Bottle
Stargate SG-1: Message in a Bottle is a good episode that isn’t a big favorite, but is still a very enjoyable show with some nice moments in it.
In this second season program, SG-1 finds an object off-world and bring it back to the SGC to study. This is …

Family Guy is a TV series which has been met with a mixed reception and its own fair share of controversies since its release several years ago. After initially being taken off the air after its first season it was brought back after overwhelming fan support despite some persistent …

Made: Cheerleaders
I’m clearly from an older generation as I’d never even heard of the Made tv series until very early this morning when I watched an episode for the very first time. In reality, the show has been on for ten years according to the website. Of course, …
The Twilight Zone: The Howling Man TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Howling Man is a show I just can’t stand and never could. I watch it as little as possible, in fact. To put it simply, I don’t like this one at all. It’s one of the episodes of this science fiction series …

Death Note Episode 29 begins with Sayu being pushed in a wheelchair by her mother after she goes into an unresponsive state because of the trauma she experienced. Soichiro blames himself for what happened. Meanwhile a Shinigami named Sidoh confronts Ryuk about taking his notebook.

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Outcast
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Outcast is a very disappointing episode of the series that was supposed to be an episode that explored homosexuality and an alien culture’s desire to “change” those members of the population that exhibit such “unnatural” feelings, however the means in which this …
Highway Patrol: Harbor Story TV Show
Highway Patrol: Harbor Story gets right to the action with a bank robbery. The only problem I have with it are two of the robbers running out of the bank and into a potential witness, who ends up getting shot in the shoulder and does an overly dramatic …
TV Show: The Newlywed Game
Synopsis: Modernized version of this couple’s show airing on Game Show Network. This show pits three newly married couples against each other in a game where they have to guess the correct answer their spouse would give to specific questions.
What I like about this show: One of the interesting …
The Simpson’s: Pray Anything
Last night was an episode of the Simpson’s that I’ve seen a couple of times and still think is somewhat funny; though not as funny as others.
“Pray Anything” has Homer discovering the power of prayer; where he thinks God is granting his every wish when it really is nothing …
Stargate SG-1: Abyss
Finally, a season six show worth watching. It’s one of three. Stargate SG-1: Abyss is the return of Daniel Jackson, sort of. Now Ascended, Daniel shows up to help Jack, who has been implanted with a Tok’ra symbiote. The symbiote took Jack by force to attempt …
The Simpsons: Bonfire of the Manatees
I was watching a season 17 episode of the Simpsons yesterday, Bonfire of the Manatees. And, while it was somewhat funny, I thought it was actually a bit low-brow for a show that is usually so much better.
The lead-in to the show was kind of cute. Homer blows a …
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 …
Justice League - Tabula Rasa, Part One
Justice League - “Tabula Rasa”, Part One is an episode that features Lex Luthor, one of my favorite villains. He is on the run in this episode and retreats to the home of a friend of his in the woods. There, he discovers his friend dead, apparently from a …
The Middle show
The Middle is a new show on ABC this fall. At the time of this writing, there have been six episodes shown. I have seen every one so far - some multiple times - so I think I have a good enough idea to write this review so far.
The …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jimmy Stewart TV Show
The great and awesome Jimmy Stewart is the Man of the Hour in The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was taped in Las Vegas. Right off the bat, I’ll say that the wonder of this hour is the quality of the talent there to roast Stewart. There …

If you ever wondered how it would be if you could relive your last 7 days again, this show is just the right one for you. Frank Parker, the main character, does it all the time, he travels back in time to save the world.
This episode is about …
Daisy of Love (VH1) show
I told myself that I wouldn’t get caught up in another one of those reality shows featuring a single pseudo-celebrity looking for love. But alas, I found myself watching “Daisy of Love.” I wasn’t familiar with who she was exactly, only that she came yet …
The Prisoner: Living in Harmony
I’ve never thought of the old west as being particularly harmonious, but somewhere in Patrick McGoohan’s mind, it apparently is, or at least is for the purposes of this episode of The Prisoner. McGoohan plays Number Six, an ex-spy being held prisoner in some unknown place called The …
Outlaw: In Re: Curtis Farwell TV Show
In Re: Curtis Farwell was the fourth episode of Outlaw, a show that has sadly been halted in production after three airings. It hasn’t been canceled as yet, NBC opting to air the five other shows, of which In Re: Curtis Farwell is one, that have already been …

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Shock Waves picks up where last season ended, that being the shooting of Laurence Fishburne’s Dr. Raymond Langston. At the start, he’s being transported to the hospital where initially he’s fighting for his life. That really doesn’t last too long. He ends …
Emperor’s New School: A Giftmas Story
We spent a great deal of time watching Christmas episodes of various shows last week; including the one on Emperor’s New School: A Giftmas Story.
This one actually proved to be one of the funnier ones.
Since this show takes place in a part of the world that hadn’t discovered Jesus …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 6 Sophmore Jinx
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 6 Sophmore Jinx
I did not like this episode, because, first of all, I didn’t understand it. And secondly, I didn’t understand the point of having it at all. Eventually, the killer is discovered, the oldest story that happens in …
Scrubs: Our Role Model
This was the best episode of the new season. I haven’t really been digging this new setup, but the show seems to be finding it’s footing. I was relieved to see Faison, Braff and McGinley added to the main credits but then it’s ruined by J.D talking …
My Name is Earl: Joy’s wedding
Joy and Crab Man are two of many great characters on “My Name is Earl” but sometimes they don’t get a lot of time in episodes. This one was different, it focused on their wedding and we see that Joy is still angry at Earl. She has planned her …
Project Runway
Every year, Project Runway tries to find challenges to trip up even its best designers. And, having the contestants design ring attire for the Divas of Monday Night Raw was definitely an interesting twist.
My wife does some sewing and I’ve seen her struggle with simple spandex outfits. So, trying …
Shaq’s Big Challenge
Shaq’s Big Challenge is the best inspiration I have ever seen for kids. Overweight and extremely introverted, I wish Shaq witnessed the growing rate of obesity when I was in school. Maybe I wouldn’t have had to spend my time finding the right clothes to cover up …
Friends Episode: The Apartment on Fire and Phoebe
Friends Episode: The Apartment on Fire and Phoebe is really hilarious. This time, it is all about Phoebe and how she denies so hard that she has a part to do with the apartment being on fire. The interrogation by the Fire Department Officer makes Phoebe really frustrated …
The Tyra Banks Show
I watch the Tyra Banks show on a daily basis. I absolutely love watching talk shows and have been watching talk shows since I was little. I have always had interest in them because I was so intrigued by it and it has been always entertaining to me. I …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Pied Piper
The Pied Piper episode of Bring ‘Em Back Alive isn’t about the old fairytale,though I wish it were. The setting for this show is 1939 Malaya. I may have actually seen this episode before, or else this is a retread of another show I’ve seen. I …

Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Two—“ Compulsion
I already knew from the first episode that this show wasn’t like Law and Order or CSI. This show mostly focuses on the bad guy, and why they do what they do, not how they did it. Compulsion was an episode about an arsonist. I got to learn the …
Gilligan’s Island - Where There’s a Will TV Show
Mr. Howell takes center stage here which is like a breath of fresh airs so to speak, since Gilligan gets to take a step back from the main character. I was pleased with Howell’s acting skills in this episode despite the fact he ran around most of the show …
Trinity Blood episode 11
A swift kiss, from lady death herself. This is “From the Empire” with love, Trinity blood episode eleven. The first thing you need to know, this is basically a James Bond episode focused more on teamwork, than cool gadgets or suave moves. Although they had those too, don’t get …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bostonian
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bostonian was a waste of viewing time in my book. I just felt like I’d seen versions of this tale many times, not the least of which were in other episodes of this western series. What amazes me is that it …

In the last episode Chris and Ray got shot but McManus who wanted to revenge for arresting his sister. Sam was working undercover in his gang. The episode starts when the ambulance brought Chris and Ray to the hospital, Ray is conscious but Chris is bad wounded. I must …
Banana Split sitcom
What separates Banana Split from other sitcoms in the Philippines is the number of girls (and how fresh they are) in the casting. Actually, Banana Split boasts of an all-girls cast which would keep your eyes glued to the television.
Girls seem to be a staple in every sitcom. …
Highway Patrol: Hypo Bandit TV Show
Hypo Bandit was the opening episode for Highway Patrol’s third season. Broderick Crawford continues to star as Chief Dan Mathews, who heads up the California Highway Patrol. What I missed, though, were the presence of recurring actors William Boyett and Stuart Whitman, neither of whom appeared here.
In …
CHiPs: Bio-Rhythms
Tige Andrews and Katherine Cannon return in CHiPs: Bio-Rhythms. The two appeared in an early episode from this second season playing a father and daughter trucker. I have some issues with the development of this story.
In the opening, Jon and Ponch are overlooking the freeway and Jon …
