The Simpsons TV Episode: The Bob Next Door
I haven’t watched re-runs of the Simpsons in a while and finally had a chance to catch the one that always airs at 6 p.m. on weekdays last night.
This time around, it was a newer episode I hadn’t seen before; The Bob Next Door. Since it was new, I …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 4: School Reunion
As the episode opens, we see that the Doctor is posing as a physics teacher. The role seems to suit him well, though it’s clear that something’s amiss as there are children who know far more than any child, or human for that matter, should.
It turns …
The Jetsons
The Jetsons was an animated television series that I used to watch when I was little. It used to come sometimes in the evenings before I had access to cable television on a local television channel. I can rememebr having some amount of interest in it because it was …

Seinfeld
Seinfeld is a comedy sitcom. I have been watching the re-runs of Seinfeld for years now and love the show as it always makes me laugh. This particular show ran for a little over ten years. It focuses on 4 best friends: Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer. Each character …
Jojo’s Circus TV Show
My son loves to watch this show on Disney Channel, Jojo’s Circus. It’s really a nice show. I guess my son likes it because the show’s full of circus personalities and animals as well. There’s Jojo, Goliath, Skeebo and the rest of the gang. I usually watch it with …
Scrubs show
Scrubs has, over been the years, become one of the most variable shows on television. The first three seasons are, in my opinion, some of the best seasons for any television show ever made, effectively blending wit, gut splitting humor, and enough raw emotion to, at times, completely cut …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Fifth Man TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Fifth Man is from the second season of Richard Boone’s hit western series. The show starts in San Francisco at the Hotel Carlton with Paladin sampling whiskey as a favor for the Hotel Carlton’s bartender. It’s his evaluation of the whiskey …
Family Feud
I haven’t seen the game show Family Feud in ages so, when I watched it last night, I wasn’t sure if I was watching a brand new episode or a repeat.
In any case, it turned out to be an entertaining way to spend a half hour.
The game itself was …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - No Weenies Allowed
This is absolutely one of my favorite Spongebob Squarepants Episodes of all times, and we own it on boxed collection on DVD because we watch so much Spongebob at our house. I started to collect the seasons on DVD when we had kids, just because it keeps them happy …
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (TV Series Starring Jeremy Brett)
In the last few years, the world’s most famous fictional consulting detective has been receiving a good deal of much deserved attention. There were the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ movies with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Then, there were the television series ‘Sherlock’ with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. …
Are you Smarter than a 5th grader?
I think that Are you Smarter than a 5th grader is a pretty cool TV show. The idea is original and has never been done before. So this makes the show really cool in my eyes. I mean it’s funny to see 5th grader’s be able ot answer questions that …
MXC TV show
This is a unique show on Spike. It’s actually a Japanese game show that relies on strange physical challenges and obstacle courses. While this might be entertaining in its own right, the true entertainment value of the show comes from its dubbing. They’ve thrown out any …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Perfect Female TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Perfect Female is a delightful show. First, this is a good time to mention that one of the changes from this comedy series’ premier season on TV and this second year is that Elinor Donahue, who had played Andy’s girlfriend Ellie Walker, left …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 16 Cool Hunter
Although the episode was well written and well executed I was still left with the feeling that it was a bit stupid. The reason why I feel that way, were the crimes themselves, just a sense of human pettiness and stupidity. But then again, it might have been just …
Waterloo Road BBC One programme
I just love this programme and I am eagerly awaiting to hear whether it is back on again this Autumn. Normally the new series starts about this time, and I have watched every series since the beginning.
Not only do I really enjoy this programme so does my son. …
Medium: It’s a Wonderful Death TV Show
Medium: It’s a Wonderful Death is another show that had a very nice season ender. The show narrowly escaped cancellation, or so it’s believed as of this writing. Actually, while I like this show, one thing I’ve consistently thought about it is that Patricia Arquette’s character of …
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 …
The Office: Back from Vacation
Michal is back from his vacation and Jamaica and aside from driving everyone crazy he has a secret. As you should probably expect from Michal the secret last just over an hour before he blows it in spectacular fashion.
The secret is that he want on vacation with his boss, …
That 70s Show TV Episode: First Date
I went home for lunch today and, since I had the house to myself (everyone was out running errands), I ended up watching some TV. There wasn’t much on so I ended up watching a re-run of That 70s Show; First Date.
This is apparently an episode from the first …
Reba Season 2
Reba Season 2 is one of those seasons where you can tell a show is struggling and trying to figure out where it’s going to go next. I was a big fan of the first season, but the second season was a little different and everyone seemed to grow …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Gungan General
The Gungan General felt like a big step backwards for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Much of what I have liked in this series is that it didn’t feel like it was made for little kids. In previous episodes, it felt like the people in the show were adults.
In …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Lost Bomb TV Show
From December 1966 comes this 13th episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s third season on TV. The outing is entitled The Lost Bomb. Earlier in the season, shows had extra focus on two of the more visible crewman, Kowalski (Del Monroe) and Patterson (Paul …

Season Five Episode 6
Good Queen Fun
RuPaul Guest Judge
In this episode, a surprise guest joins Heidi on stage.
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 …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Two Plus One
Two Plus One was the 30th episode of the sixth season of Have Gun - Will Travel. I miss TV seasons with that many episodes, and this wasn’t even the last one. We don’t get a San Francisco opening unfortunately. Rather, we see Paladin (Richard Boone) …
Hogan’s Heroes: One Army at a Time
Well, that was a somewhat interesting episode of Hogan’s Heroes that was on at lunch today; “One Army at a Time.”
Basically, in this episode, they are trying to blow up a Nazi bridge. But, they are interrupted as they are making their way there and, because he is dressed …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Disappearing Acts

Keeping Up With the Kardashians (E! reality show)
Again the reality show has bitten another family. This show has been on E! for a little while, but I’d just never taken the time to watch. Kim Kardashian is a beautiful woman who doesn’t really get a lot of respect in Hollywood. She’s …
Night Gallery: Clean Kills And Other Trophies TV Show
Clean Kills And Other Trophies featured Raymond Massey and included Herbert Jefferson Jr. and Tom Troupe. A big part of the story revolves around hunting, and since I’m against hunting, it’s a little disturbing. This is especially true in the opening scene which takes place in Massey’s …

Tessa, Duncan’s mortal girlfriend, needs to pay her outdated tickets so her, Duncan and Richie go to the courthouse. Duncan is left in the car while Richie, given his special ‘background’, goes …
The Twilight Zone: The Long Morrow TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Long Morrow is one of the decent season five episodes. In fact, I find it hard to watch, not because of the quality but because I feel so darn bad for the two main characters. It’s a real heartbreaker, one of those fate …
Gilligain’s Islnad - Feed the Kitty TV Show
Here we go with Gilligan and his affinity towards all living things. This quality in Gilligan says a lot about his character, and his respect for life. I really like this episode even if his feelings towards the king of the beast introduce a danger element to everyone or …
Two And A Half Men: The Flavin’ And The Mavin’
“The Flavin’ And The Mavin’” was a decent episode of the CBS sit-com Two And A Half Men, although the one-liners were not as clever as they usually are, and the ending of the episode was not going to be a surprise to anyone. I will give you …
Trauma:Life in the ER
Trauma: Life in the ER is a fast-paced show not intended for the weak of heart and stomach. With real surgery footage and violent, graphic images, the show carries a warning that younger viewers should not watch. Each episode centers around a hospital somewhere in the US …
Taxicab Confessions
“Taxicab Confessions” was a hidden camera television reality show series which was broadcast on the cable movie channel HBO since the late 1990s and early 2000s. I used to watch it in secret sometimes in the nights ever since I discovered it when I was about twelve out …
The Twilight Zone: From Agnes - with Love TV Show
I can’t help but like The Twilight Zone: From Agnes - with Love because it features the adorable Wally Cox in it. Cox plays a computer programmer named James Elwood who takes over working with a computer named Agnes.
Now there is something important to recognize when you watch …
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is one of my favorite shows of all time. This show is so funny and has so many classic characters! And the famous Will Smith plays the part of Will in the show. He is so funny in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He makes …
Jumong: An MBC Series
Jumong, a Korean series is really a good historical drama. I have never been following any historical series or movies of Korean nature. I usually watch more of the European wars, and or Chinese historical movies. Jumong is the first I watched from Korea, and all the characters are …
The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham TV Show
From April 1967, The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham was the final episode of the fifth season. After an amusing opening scene with James Drury as The Virginian and a couple of odd and end scenes, including an action oriented chase of a Medicine Bow posse, …
Grey’s Anatomy Season 1 Pilot Episode A Hard Day’s Night Out
The Pilot episode will probably be one of my favorite episodes ever. It’s usually like that for pilot episodes. If it’s great then the succeeding episodes will be great too, some good but a few will be better. And for Grey’s Anatomy, I can say that the pilot episode …
Broadway on PBS Series
PBS aired a short term series, “Stage on Screen” that featured live performances of plays that were filmed and broadcasted on American public broadcasting. Unfortunately the series did not last, but before it came to an end “The Man Who Came to Dinner” was aired in 2000. “The Man …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 11
Emerald Point N.A.S., the 11th of 22 episodes, has some odd reactions in it compared to the attitudes we’ve seen in previous episodes.
Celia Mallory (Susan Dey) didn’t want to be connected to the Navy, yet she dumps her husband Jack Warren (Charles Frank) for Simon Adams (Richard Dean Anderson), …
Sea Hunt: Operation Greenback TV Show
Sea Hunt: Operation Greenback was an interesting show. I actually kept wondering if it was done a bit like MacGyver which always kept something back when explaining how to make something that could be dangerous. In this episode, Mike Nelson, the expert deep sea diver played by …
The Hillside Stranglers movie
From 1989, The Hillside Stranglers is almost as frightening as the actual events that this movie is based on. I lived through these events, watching them unfold on television, and it was a scary time. I would have been terrified had I lived in that area where …
