The Virginian: The Judgment
The Virginian: The Judgment is a flashback tale, told by Judge Henry Garth (Lee J. Cobb) to his daughter, Betsy (Roberta Shore), about something that happened ten years earlier. As a result, the show is Cobb-centric. Outside of Shore’s short bits in the opening and the ending, …
The Black Tower - Part 1
Keeping in mind that I’ve been given several of these DVDs about the adventures and cases of Commander Adam Dalgliesh of New Scotland Yard, I’m watching them in no logical sense of order. It’s like going back and forth in time. As a result, the first thing …
Due South: Seeing Is Believing
Due South: Seeing Is Believing is somewhat interesting. It takes the concept that a thing can happen in front of ten people, and all ten people will see it differently. That’s the story that plays out here. Right before a gift from Canada to America is …
Friends season 1 episode 2
This episode is another great addition to the Friends season 1.In this episode I laughed so much, because so much funny thing is happening on this episode. This episode was named as “The Sonogram at the End”. The episode started showing all of the characters are sitting in …
Dawn Porter (Channel4)
Probably more famed for her work on BBC3, Dawn Porter has tackled numerous subjects in her often light hearted documentaries before.
With this Channel 4 series, Porter tackles topics that are a bit weightier and difficult than her previous exposes. In particular, her investigations into mail order brides and polygamy …
Gilligan’s Island - St. Gilligan and The Dragon TV Show
Here we have chaos again. Chaos everywhere. The Castaways split apart into two groups, women and men. The men think the women will learn a lesson of humility and that women should be subservient to men. This kind of made me a little upset the kind of mental thought …
That Girl: The Elevated Woman
The final show of That Girl has always been a disappointment to me. Series star Marlo Thomas refused to do a wedding show. She’s always been a feminist and she felt it was wrong to give the impression that her character of Ann Marie gets married and …

Sea Hunt: The Prospectors, from June 1958, has Mike Nelson in the middle of two prospectors (one of whom is at times violently paranoid about being cheated). They ask Nelson to help with their hunt for uranium, and he agrees. However, once they find what they’re after, …
Greek: Season 2
I loved season two of the ABC Family television series “Greek” as much as I liked season one. Season two began in on August twenty six of last year 2008 with the episode entitled “Brothers and sisters”. I was looking forward to seeing this episode of Greek as …
Psych: Weekend Warriors
Like I mentioned in another review, I ended up watching a couple more episodes of the show Psych before bed last night. One of those episodes was a half-way funny episode entitled “Weekend Warriors.”
This one has Shawn and Gus posing as Civil War reenactors after someone appears to be …
Death Note Episode 10
Death Note Episode 10 involves Light and L having a “friendly” tennis mach. L is just trying to be friendly while observing Light to see how he behaves, while Light is trying to figure out how to not let L suspect that he is Kira.
This episode was really interesting. …
The Prisoner: The Arrival
In the early moments of the first episode of The Prisoner television series, I have eerie glimpses of Farenheit 451 and Logan’s Run. I believe this 1967 series predates both of those movies, but it’s just odd seeing some of those things that make me think of the …
The Cosby Show
I watched The Cosby Show when I was a kid and I watched the reruns for years. I loved that show and I think it had a lot of good things to offer.

The Universe: Parallel Universes
The History Channel’s highly intriguing and always entertaining science documentary series turns in another sensational offering with this in depth, but incredibly palatable look at parallel universes.
It’s not just the thing of science fiction apparently, in fact the raw science is all there and not only might there be …
Numb3rs: Backscatter TV Show
The Backscatter episode of Numb3rs began with what I perceive to be a ridiculous chase seen. We know it’s a hacker doing something from an alley. They get blocked in, both front and back, and yet the two get out of the car and out of the …
CHiPs: Name Your Price
In CHiPs: Name Your Price, Ponch (Erik Estrada) gets a chance to be on a game show that is something like The Price is Right. I don’t think I’m spoiling anything when I say that Ponch is right on for the entire show until he has to price …
Dead Zone Season 3, Episode 4
This was one of the darker episodes of the series and considering that the show is based on a Stephen King novel, I think that’s saying a lot. The episode starts with Johnny and Bruce driving down the road and listening to the radio. A local shock jock is …
Hoarders tv show
On the channel TLC, I watched one of their shows that come on called Hoarders. It’s a quite interesting show about people who collect just about any thing and everything in their house. There homes get very cluttered and make for unlivable housing conditions. In the episode they …

Clean House TV Episode: The Brooks Family
I intended on watching a movie last night after the kids were in bed. But, my wife got the TV first and we ended up watching a mini Clean House marathon instead. Fortunately, I ended up liking some of the episodes that were on.
One of them, The Brooks Family, …
Justice League Unlimited: The Cat and the Canary
This could be considered one of the smaller episodes of “Justice League Unlimited”. No one is saving the world or even a city. Most of the characters don’t even have superpowers. This is about why people are in the league and it’s far better than the episodes where they …
Project RUNWAY season 3
I only started watching project runway last season and I loved every minute of it. I find it hard to imagine that they will top last season because everybody was so histerical and all the fashion challanges were great. Season three premiered on wedsnday night and …
Return to Green Acres Reunion Special
“Return to Green Acres” is a reunion special that features characters from the 1960s sitcom, “Green Acres”. I love the television show because the humor is so off the wall and the characters are so memorable and distinctive. When I learned
that a reunion special had been made, I eagerly …
The X-Files Fire Episode
The first thought which came to my mind when I watched this episode of “The X-Files” was “Weird “. I thought it was a lot stranger for some reason than many of the episodes of the popular 1990s American television series which I had watched as this episode involved …
Ren & Stimpy
Ren & Stimpy is a cartoon about a dog and a cat who are best friends and roommates. Each episode they go through different things and sometimes they gain, sometimes they lose. Ren is a Chihuahua dog and Stimpy is an alley cat, no particular breed. I think that …
Divorce court (Reality Series)

Stargate SG-1: The Shroud
Stargate SG-1: The Shroud is a wonderful episode, thanks to the return of Richard Dean Anderson as General Jack O’Neill. It’s not just Jack’s presence, but his friendship with Daniel that makes the show a great one.
Daniel is discovered on a planet as a Prior. He’s beamed …
Diagnosis Murder: The Busy Body TV Show
Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) celebrates a birthday in Diagnosis Murder: The Busy Body from season two. What this really does is give the show a chance for some slapstick type comedy. This occurs when a policewoman shows up and slaps handcuffs on Mark, only she’s really …
Tv Show “Raising Hope” Episode 6 “Family Secrets”
I really enjoy watching this tv show because they throw something unexpected at you at each episode. In this episode Hope’s deceased mother who was executed for being a serial killer of boyfriends reappears in video form. After her death her belongings were collected in boxes and …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 8: We Interrupt This Program

TMZ
TMZ is a show that tells you updated news about celebrities and famous people. The people that talk on it just stand around and show you videos and pictures and talk about the updated news with celebrities or famous people. It’s an alright show overall, I think that they …
The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie for Council TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie for Council is another terrific program from this legendary family show. As the title indicates, it’s all about Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) running for City Council in Mayberry. That’s something the men folk aren’t thrilled about at first. Here are a few …
ASAP ‘08
I don’t like watching TV nowadays, but every Sunday I do try to watch ABS-CBN Channel 2’s ASAP 2008. That is a variety show, where most of the contract stars of Channel 2 dances, or sings. They have quite a lot of features in that show two; it is …
Friends Season Two - The one with Phoebe’s Husband
The friends have always wondered about Phoebe, because she seems so mysterious. But what they didn’t realize is that she was married in another state to a gay ice dancer, and she didn’t even realize that she was still married to him. It is actually quite hilarious, because no …
Monday Night Football
For decades, Monday Night Football has been the premiere place for NFL action. But, over time, it has become more of a talk show than one that actually focuses on sports.
I haven’t watched Monday Night Football in a while, but didn�t have much choice last night if I wanted …
Laramie: The Passing of Kuba Smith TV Show

Life Unexpected TV show
“Life Unexpected” is a new TV show on the CW channel. It comes on on Mondays at 8 p.m. central time. I was a little skeptical about this show since it didn’t get much ad time, and although the premise sounded interesting enough I thought it would be another teen …
WWE Smackdown the TV show
Smackdown is a show that the WWE has and I am becoming a bigger fan week after week because the show is finally becoming good again. Smackdown has a good roster but it could be a lot better and the best guy they have right now is the wrestler …

What I liked …
MacGyver: Jack of Lies
I don’t like it, and I’ll say that up front. MacGyver: Jack of Lies is the first appearance of the Jack Dalton character. This guy is the same kind of character that Tom Selleck dealt with on Magnum P.I., the annoying chum that he can’t help but …
Star Trek: Voyager - Fury
