Bones: The Princess and the Pear
For the most part, I like the show Bones. But, some episodes, like this week’s “the Princess and the Pear” tend to be a bit too dumb to be enjoyable.
This one decided to focus on the fantasy world many people enjoy living in. People who attend comic book conventions, …
Power Marketing : Upright Citizens Brigade
Power Marketing is probably one of the best remembered of the Upright Citizens Brigade episodes. There is, after all, a lot of memorable stuff in this one (including the whole pennies thing). My favorite part of the episode is actually the Power Marketing sketch, for which the …

Desperate housewives TV series

Family Guy: The Story on Page 1
We were watching a Family Guy re-run last night, The Story on Page 1 and I have to say it, it is easily the funniest episode I have seen both of this series and quite a few others I can think of.
To be honest, I’m not even really sure …
Mr. Monk & the Psychic
Well, another season one Monk episode and another happy fan. Mr. Monk & the Psychic is an episode that manages to show everything that is or at least was good about the show before they started messing with the format a bit.
You have a woman being murdered by her …

From 2002, Stargate: Infinity: Double Duty is the second of the animated cartoon series. It begins with Major Bonner’s team realizing that their GDO codes no longer work. This means they can’t return to Stargate Command.

Sabc Sports Laduma Soccer Presentation Show
Ever since I started religiously watching soccer back in around 1998, because of not having subscriber paid television (DSTV) I have been forced to catch all the matches on the public broadcaster’s soccer show, —˜Laduma’.
As the years would go by I was always pretty happy to sit down to …
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 …
The Forgotten: Donovan Doe
One note: this review will include spoilers of the ending so please read on with that understanding.
The Forgotten: Donovan Doe, from March 2010, was an unexpected joy. I am a huge fan of this TV series. As I’ve paid attention through the year, I’ve been disappointed that …
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 …
Judge Judy the TV show
Judge Judy is a pretty good show and there are quite a few things that I really like about it. The first thing would be Judge Judy herself, she is very entertaining and I love her attitude because she is tough and she doesn’t take no crap from anybody …
Cover Her Face - Part 1
Cover Her Face was another tale of Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh. Apparently, that’s a grade below Inspector, which is how I’m used to seeing the Dalgliesh character. Unfortunately, I’m not watching these television adaptations in order, so I keep getting the story at various points. I’ve …
Highway Patrol: Taxi TV Show
Highway Patrol: Taxi has comedian Joe Flynn playing a vicious robber and killer. I’m so used to seeing Flynn as a funny man that this is almost shocking to me. I don’t believe in all these decades that I have seen him play this kind of character. …

The Tribe Season 1 Episode 2
In this episode, the show begins where it left off last time and that was in the mall where Amber and the others are. The person lurking in the shadows is a whiz kid named Jack who has occupied the mall for quite some time. Lex and the others …
Scrubs: Our White Coats
All season, this show has teased at reaching the level of the early seasons of the show. Almost every time that happened, a sub par episode followed, so I don’t want to get my hopes up yet, but I found this episode highly enjoyable.
It had the perfect balance …
Outsourced: The Measure of a Manmeet TV Show
It was a fluke that I watched this second episode of Outsourced called The Measure of a Manmeet. I am pretty sure that fluke won’t happen again because this show is just third class and even offensive. It’s ridiculously stereotypical and instead of focusing on a concept …
The Office: Moroccan Christmas
“Moroccan Christmas” is the episode of The Office airing on NBC on December 11, 2008. This episode was not nearly as entertaining as past Christmas episodes and was actually depressing as it focused on alcoholism and affairs.
The start of the show was the best part, with …
Samurai Jack show
I love to watch cartoon shows, and I just enjoy it very much. Few years back a new show came on “Cartoon Network” channel called “Samurai Jack”. When I first watch this show I felt love with this cartoon. It is different from all kind of “traditional” carton show …
Witch’s Requirement TV show
This moving tale epitomises all the forbidden loves of this world. It depicts the difficulties faced by all the couples who want to be together despite discriminations, criticisms, and pressure from loved ones.
Perhaps many people will think that this is just another common, cliched Japanese romance television series. However, …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Jonah and the Whale
The first episode of the second season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was a show entitled Jonah and the Whale, and it brings with it some big changes as well as some subtle alterations. First, the show began airing in color. What a difference …
The Loretta Young Show: Faith Hope and Mr. Flaherty
I remember years ago as a child watching The Loretta Young Show. The actress was quite beautiful and was very talented. Her shows were a delight. All I remember, though, is watching. I couldn’t tell you an episode. That’s because Loretta Young kept a …
Team UmiZoomi
Many cartoon programs on television right now are not the most educational for children of any age; especially toddlers. There is, of course, the tried and true Sesame Street that is always easy to rely on to help you teach your children their alphabet, numbers, etc. But, not all …
Beast Wars - Deep Metal
Beast Wars - Deep Metal introduces a new Maximal to the series: Depth Charge. In some ways, he seems as if he is intended to take the place of Dinobot, who was killed in the last season because he is more aggressive and eager to fight, he is distant …
American Gladiators
When I was younger, one of the shows I used to watch on television was American Gladiators. And, for some time, I�ve been thinking some network should make an effort to bring the show back.
So, I was pleasantly surprised to learn NBC was doing just that.
After watching the first …
Prison Break Season 4 Episode 7 Mister T
Prison Break 4th season is getting better and better episode after episode. Well for those of you who are watching the 4th season will know that they are in search of Scylla, and so the hunt continues for the last card.
Well as the previous episodes planning was very complex …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Punishment Without Crime TV Show
Okay, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Punishment Without Crime is another one of those weird stories that I need to watch three or four times to really get it, but I don’t want to. Once was plenty.
Ray Bradbury is certainly a talented and gifted science fiction author, but he’s …
Medium: Talk to the Hand TV Show
Medium: Talk to the Hand had a very different beginning. The opening teaser has Alison with Mr. Bill about safety. Mr. Bill was such a contemporary figure a couple of decades back. I was never that amused with him, but once you see him, it’s hard …
Glee - Theatricality
And so Glee’s descent into the real world continues.
With its revolving plot lines and hit or miss ‘themes’. the once magical “Glee” has become a what was once cool, TV show. Following in the footsteps of shows like Lost, Glee seems to be a victim of its own …
The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man
This is an episode of “The Twilight Zone” which both my boyfriend and I enjoy more than many other episodes. I think it has also been seen as one of the more popular episodes of the television series which aired from 1959 to 1964. This might be because this …
Star Trek: The Omega Glory TV Show
I have always liked Star Trek: The Omega Glory, primarily for that big speech Kirk makes towards the end. I love the Kirk orations. They’re so patriotic.
Once again, the catalyst is a missing spaceship. In this case, it’s the Exeter. Actually, the ship and the …
That 70s Show: We Will Rock You
Wow, I sure missed a lot on That 70s Show when I stopped watching it after Eric and Kelso left. The episode “We Will Rock You” proves that.
I knew there were new characters on the show and other characters have obviously gotten older. But, since when does Jackie love …

Highway Patrol: Nitro TV Show
Highway Patrol: Nitro is in my mind one of the worst outings for this series, but let me start with a humorous part of it.
The funniest thing about this show was a couple of lines between two men who are transporting nitroglycerin. The one man tells the other …
Stargate SG-1: New Ground
Season three of Stargate SG-1 rolls on with another terrific episode called New Ground. The team sets foot on a planet that is sharply divided on its origins, and SG-1 is drawn into the battle by their mere presence.
Assisting the team is their new friend, Nyan. In …
Daria
I can remember hearing my schoolmates talk about a television show called “Daria” when I was in high school. At that time, my cable company did not give us certain channels, so I was not familiar with the television show. There was even a certain girl at …
The Twilight Zone: Two TV Show
The third season of The Twilight Zone is a two-person show. For some reason, Rod Serling liked these introspective shows for the season premiers, and I’m not sure why. Season one focused on Earl Holliman’s character being in a town by himself, and season two had Robert …
1000 Ways to Die
Not a lot of things make me paranoid, but the television show “1000 Ways to Die” might be number one on the top of that small list. Not a lot of people seem to know about that show either, as unlike some shows this one is not promoted as …
My Parent’s House
My Parent’s House is a television show that comes on HGTV. The premise of the show is to take a room in someone’s house that is stuck in the past and modernize it. The children help with the new design. They tell the designers what their parents like as …

Graham Hancock’s Quest for the Lost Civilisation
If you are not already familiar with Graham Hancock and his work, consider yourself lucky. Hancock is a quack of the most irritating variety, unable to come up with interesting theories and basing what theories he has on such ludicrous supposition as to make it not crazy enough …
That Girl: Old Man’s Darling
Cecil Kellaway steals the show in That Girl: Old Man’s Darling. This marvelous acting fellow plays one of the world’s richest men, who really is just a very lonely old man who is without family and friends. When he meets Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas), he is charmed …
Highway Patrol: Confidence Game TV Show
From December 1958, its fourth and final season on television, Highway Patrol: Confidence Game was somewhat entertaining. My only big peeve is that it’s another diner setup for the crime, and that’s something that Highway Patrol has done repeatedly over the years.
In the case of Confidence Game, we’re …
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1
Watching Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season One now is a fairly different experience than watching it when the season first aired years ago. I actually remember when the show first started because my parents were big fans of the original Law and Order and I actually watched Special …
