Devices and Desires - Part 5
There’s a surprising event in this fifth installment of Devices and Desires. It’s not all that shocking, but at the same time, it turned the murder investigation upside down.
P.D. James has written numerous mysteries for his central character, Commander Adam Dalgliesh, to solve. Always well dressed and …
The Simpsons Season 18 Episode 12
The episode begins with Bart making some weird designs. Lisa is busy writing her heritage. However she fins her family’s heritage very boring. She makes up her heritage, by saying her great great great grandmother was part of a tribe named Hitachi, which got wiped out. She gets chosen …
Smallville : Requiem
A lot happened in this episode of Smallville, and some of it will be good for the show, but I don’t know that I cared much for it as a singular episode. In this episode Lana and Clark have gotten together and are destroying beds. Lana has superpowers …
Criminal Minds the TV Series
I have mixed feelings about this show. On one hand, the story line borders on the dark side of humanity, and it sometimes scares me a lot. On the other hand, the plots are very interesting and seem very believable. I like the acting of Thomas Gibson as Agent …
Mysteries at the Museum (Mystery Television Show)
I love stories about the past and mysteries in general so I tend to be thrilled when the two genres combine. That is what attracted me to a television series such as “Mysteries at the Museum”. I’m able to watch a series that reveals the secrets behind certain relics I …
Southern Fried Stings on Trutv
One of the shows that I’ve watched recently is a show on Tru tv called Southern Fried Stings. This show features an Ex state trooper named Jay along with his team called the “Jay team” to perform sting operations in the south of The United States like Alabama,Georgia, …
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 …
Mickey mouse club house
The Mickey Mouse clubhouse is the name of the programme telecasted in the Disney channel. Actually this programme is telecasted at the time of around 2:30 to 3:30 pm. This is the favourite programme for my kids. While having the dinner they watch this programme. …
That Girl - Season One DVD set
Shout Factory produced the That Girl DVDs, beginning with this season one set. It’s a great set, but what I don’t like is the way the DVDs are organized. The DVDs are placed in one, long jacket. You open it and then have to open it …
The Prisoner: Harmony (2009) TV Show
The Prisoner: Harmony is the second of six episodes of this updated science fiction show. The one thing it definitely retains when compared to the sixties original is the strangeness of it all. The Village is still there, but it’s less bright and vibrant than the old …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Haunting of the New TV Show
File this one under weird and move on to the next. Actually, to be honest, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Haunting of the New isn’t the worst of these that I’ve seen, but at the same time, this episode from the science fiction series third year is …
Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 1
Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 1 has some great moments in it. The premise is that the SGC is being documented. It’s the one-thousandth trip through the Stargate, and they want history to know how the Stargate has helped to shape and save the future.
To that end, a …
Lisa Kudrow on Ellen
Watching Lisa Kudrow on Ellen, I now know why she gets the amazing and funny role of Phoebe. She is so pleasant, down to earth and amazingly awesome. In fact, she has totally moved on, and speaking of Friends memories much more better than say, Matt Le Blanc. …
Reba
I would say that alot of the things that happen on this show are unrealistic. Such as the woman that your husband had an affair on you with and left you for probably would not be coming in to eat dinner with you or sit at your kitchen table …
Family Guy: Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington
I’m not sure I was a big fan of last night’s episode of Family Guy, Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington. It was OK but didn’t seem to be as well written as other episodes.
I did like the plot a bit, Peter’s company is bought out by a cigarette company …
House Detective
House Detective, on HGTV early Saturday mornings gives you an insiders angle on what to look for when buying a home,not the positives, but the negatives. Home buyers,especially first time home buyers tend to look at the superficial things, the landscaping, the color on the walls, the color …
Prison Break Season 3 Episode 2- Fire/Water
Prison Break Season 3 Episode 2- Fire/Water
The story continues as Michael tries to figure his way out in the Sona prison. Lincoln’s character is now taking a more active role in the series. I guess that makes sense, since he is on the outside. It’s too bad they made …
Diagnosis Murder: The Restless Remains TV Show
I love it when Diagnosis Murder begins with a fun scene, like Mark Sloan rolling in on his skates, and then going right into rounds with the medical students. This is episode nine, The Restless Remains. Things get a bit crazy though when Mark has a visit …

This set is not nearly as impressive as …
Brooke Knows Best (VH1 network TV show)
There are just too many reality shows on the air these days. This show is a spin-off so to speak of the other reality show, “Hogan Knows Best.” I didn’t watch that show because I had no desire to. But after hearing about all the …
Fruits Basket Anime Series, 2011
Fruits Basket, released in 2011, is an absolutely adorable anime. Most anime are not appropriate for children because of adult themes. There isn’t any excessive cleavage or firearms incorporated into this anime series. I have to warn parents, however, that the heroine’s skirt does ride a bit low, there …
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part One
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part One is an episode that has some strengths, but unfortunately, some weaknesses as well. Let me first start with what I did not like because these are problems that bother me each and every time I watch the episode. First of all, the …
Checkmate: Face in the Window TV Show
I enjoyed the opening of this episode of Checkmate. The episode title is Face in the Window, and we see the face through the window as we meet the main characters, shopping. They have a fun, carefree chat about a statue which symbolizes happiness. The man …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Sacred Trust
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Sacred Trust is episode 4 of the first season. I loved this continuation series, a show that moved the 70’s hit Kung Fu forward a few generations. David Carradine and Chris Potter starred. Since this was so early on, they were …

Jacqueline Samuda returns as Nirrti in Stargate SG-1: Metamorphosis, which is based on a story idea that she submitted to the show. It seems Nirrti is experimenting with the DNA of the inhabitants of a planet. Her goal is to make the perfect, or advanced, host body, …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 18 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 18 has Section 9 trying to track down an assassin after the prime minister of China is threatened for going to a war memorial.
This episode was very interesting and it gives Aramaki more character development as we learn more about him. …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Great Shell Game
Alias Smith and Jones: The Great Shell Game is really nicely done. As I said in my last review for the prior episode, however, it’s a show where the two stars, Pete Duel and Ben Murphy, are separated. In fact, they don’t have a single scene together. …
CSI Season 2 Episode 9 And Then There Were None
It was definitely not one of the best episodes in the season and not in the show. Although the course of investigation precedes as usual: new facts discovered, many more are unknown, different theories and possibilities, going back and forth on finding the criminal… I find that the writers …
Gilmore Girls TV Show
I have been watching Gilmore Girls for awhile now, and I really have to say I love it!
I love the quirkyness of the show, and the acting is wonderful in my oppinion!
Lorelai (Lauren Graham), is usually the one to bring the hilarious sarcastic comments that I think make …
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Cunningham Heritage TV Show
I’ve never seen the Sherlock Holmes TV series that starred Ronald Howard before, so this is very new to me. I have seen several different actors in the role of the famous London detective, but none has ever topped Basil Rathbone. From the first episode of this …
Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere
Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere is one of 39 episodes of this supermarionation puppet series from Gerry Anderson. What I enjoy is that the puppets really do have some great personalities. They’re pretty well rounded, all things considered.
In this show, there’s a neat scene where Professor Matt Matic …
M*A*S*H The Martinis & Medicine Collection
The M*A*S*H folks assigned to putting out a complete DVD set really did a powerful job. This magnificent set is called M*A*S*H The Martinis & Medicine Collection and includes 36 disks. It comes in a sturdy denim-like case. It actually looks like a book with four …

The Cleveland Show
My family has been watching the show Family Guy for some time now (at least until our 5-year-old started repeating some of the stuff she shouldn’t have and we took a break from it) so we were interested when we learned there was going to be a spin-off starring …
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Matter of Ethics

Psych : Lights, Camera, Homicidio
While this episode of Psych wasn’t quite as good as many others, I will admit Lights, Camera, Homicidio was a cute one.

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary [The Day of the Doctor]
Let me tell you about the best T.V. series that has ever existed. First of all, Doctor Who is, as you could call it, ancient. It is either one of the first or actually the first science fiction series of all time. The main character is an alien that …

Trigun Episode 21 begins in a Project Seeds ship that didn’t quite crash over 100 years ago, the Gung-Ho Guns have invaded, intent on destroying the ship’s residents, who are acquaintances of Vash. Vash and Wolfwood try to stop them and have to face three of the Gung-Ho …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 14: Journey’s End
The two part finale wraps up as the team tries to stop the Daleks’ nefarious plan. Where the last episode had a lot of epic goings on with little room for character moments, this one is oddly quieter. It’s still heavy, but not in the same sense …
The Carol Burnett Show: Tony Randall and Dick Van Dyke TV Show
From season 9, this episode of The Carol Burnett Show featured guest stars Tony Randall and Dick Van Dyke along with Burnett and regulars Harvey Gorman and Vicki Lawrence. Sadly, Tim Conway was “on vacation” this week.

The Simpsons: Smoke on the Daughter
I didn’t get a chance to see the Simpsons episode Smoke on the Daughter until last night. It turned out to be a pretty funny episode.
Basically, Marge decides to try to live her dream of becoming a ballerina only to discover she isn’t cut out for it. She then …
MacGyver: The Secret of Parker House
Season four of MacGyver began with a new opening. It’s basically the same style and sound, just tweaked slightly and new clips interspersed in the old. There’s plenty more of the longer haired Mac in this show. While I prefer the original, I’ll take the revamped …
Rachael Ray Show
Rachael Ray is a combination of a talk show and a cooking show. It airs on NBC in the afternoon. When the show first started it used to be more of a cooking show and they would have a few guests , one of which would usually help with …
The Twilight Zone: The Big Tall Wish TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Big Tall Wish is not a favorite episode. For one thing, it moves too slow and for another I just don’t like shows that deal with boxers. In this case, it’s Ivan Dixon appearing as an over the hill boxer who has a …
Dr Phil TV show
Dr Phil is a television talk show hosted by Dr Phil McGraw. On this show he talks to people having issues and tries to tell them what they are doing wrong and what they can do to resolves the issue.
