Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Snowball Effect
It is actually snowing in Bikini Bottom, because there is an iceberg that is over the town. This rarely happens so Spongebob and Patrick try and take advantage of the situation and have a snowball fight with each other. They are having a lot of fun in the yards, …
The Wendy Williams Show
I love to watch talk shows during the day because it is entertaining and I love the gossip part of it and that is exactly what the Wendy Williams show is all about. Her show is quite different from other shows and she doesn’t have just ordinary people on …
TV Show: 24 Hour Restaurant Battle
My wife and I had some free time before our regular shows came on last night and ended up once again trying to clear something off our DVR. What we ended up watching was a show called 24 Hour Restaurant Battle.
I wasn’t really sure what to think of this …
Star Trek: The Time Trap TV Show
I absolutely love the concept behind the animated program, Star Trek: The Time Trap. This 1973 series did a lot of shows that built on some of the live action shows, but they also had several, like this one, which were quite original to the Star Trek universe. …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Return of Malcolm Merriweather TV Show
The wonderful Bernard Fox makes another appearance in this great comedy series in April 1964. In The Andy Griffith Show: The Return of Malcolm Merriweather, Fox plays the amicable gentleman’s valet, who comes back to Mayberry to say hello as he makes his way around that part of …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 58: The Ghostbusters in Paris
As the title would suggest, this episode sees the team whisked away to Paris, France when supernatural activity erupts and decimates the tourist economy. This is one of the rarely mentioned perks of being a Ghostbuster. They’ve already visited a few locales and it is generally on …
Bones TV Episode: The Man in the SUV
As I mentioned in an earlier review, I recently started re-watching the first season of the show Bones; at least the episodes I haven’t seen before.
One of the episodes was The Man in the SUV, which turned out to be a pretty decent one.
This is one of the first …
Lifetime Movie Network
From time to time I will watch the channel Lifetime Movie Network. Sometimes they have really good movies on. Especially if you hardly ever watch the channel. The things I don’t like about the channel is that they have a lot of different movies about the same thing. It …
Mr. Potter Takes a Rest Cure
“Mr. Potter Takes a Rest Cure” is another episode in the charming warm and fuzzy BBC series “Wodehouse Playhouse” (see my reviews for other episodes and for the series as a whole. In this episode an American publisher, Mr. Potter (played by Alan MacNaughtan) and a rising English politician …
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 1
From 1984, this P.D. James story takes place mostly within the confines of a hospital at which Stephen Courtney-Briggs is a key surgeon. At the beginning of the story, we meet Martin Dettinger (Richard Marner) as he’s being admitted to the hospital. He has a difficult time …
Rated K by Korina Sanchez
I like so much to watch Korina Sanchez Rated K. I am not only entertained by the stories she feature in the program but also I am most of the time inspired by the stories of people she feature. Just like for instance she featured a story of how …
Music Lounge Late Night Music Video Show
Now there used to be a time when I stayed up way past what is generally perceived to be normal bed time, even for fully grown man such as myself, just to watch quality music videos well into the early hours of the next morning. Sadly though, those days …
Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories, anime
I was looking for a new Japanese Anime to watch and someone recommended that I try one called Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories. However, I had my reservations about it because once I took a look at it, the animation was very different from a lot of other Japanese anime that …
Shararath
Shararath is another interesting programme or serial which is being telecasted in the TV channel called Star plus. Star plus is a very interesting channel in which they telecast many kind of serial and programmes, which are very interesting. And the story of shararath is also very …
Mr. Monk is at Your Service
Today was the first time I’ve seen the Monk episode “Mr. Monk is at Your Service” and thought it was one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen recently.
This episode has Monk going undercover as a butler (or as he refers to it, a house manager) because Natalie suspects the …
John Doe: Blood Lines TV show
John Doe: Blood Lines has our amnesiac center character still confused about his identity. Sometimes, it feels overplayed. Now I realize that being in his position, waking up naked with no clue who I was, would be insane and difficult, but for TV drama, it feels overacted.
One …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-16-10 TV Show
September 16th’s episode of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show, which starts off the Home block of daytime programming on the Hallmark Channel, began with a couple of cute dogs. I guess these critters belong to Martha and apparently they are now starring in their own webisodes over on …
M*A*S*H: Sometimes You Hear the Bullet
M*A*S*H: Sometimes You Hear the Bullet is a masterpiece edition of this show in my opinion. I clearly recall watching this show the first time it aired. In fact, I taped it on a cassette recorder when it was rerun because I thought it was just that …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 3: Squeeze
I think that this, even more so than the two previous episodes, acts as a proto-typical X-Files episode. It has all the things that X-Files fans love. It’s far more atmospheric than the other two and has a stronger story to tell compared to the other two.
It …
Highway Patrol: Gem Robbery TV Show
Highway Patrol: Gem Robbery, a second year episode of this police drama centers around a robbery of gems. The show opens with the robbery, though we don’t know at first what is happening.
Basically, a courier named Harris arrives and is supposed to be met by the gemologist’s secretary, …
Star Trek: Metamorphosis TV Show
Star Trek: Metamorphosis isn’t in my top favorites, but it is a solid episode that gives us some history as well. The premise is that a shuttle from the Enterprise is heading back to the ship after picking up a rather opinionated and ungrateful Ambassador Nancy Hedford (Elinor …
Starhunter: Rebirth
I don’t know why it appeals to me so much, but Starhunter is one of my favorite TV shows. Sure it is low-budget, nor does it have the greatest acting in the world, but there is a certain charm and appeal to the show nonetheless. Thus I …
Becoming Human- A 3 part series from NOVA
Ever since its arrival, NOVA has been home to some interesting shows. Their educational 1-hour documentaries often intrigue thousands and thousands of viewers. Recently, I watched “Becoming Human-A 3 part series” for my Biology class. As I sat at the computer for three whole hours I felt myself starting …

One of the ongoing jokes in the first season of the Emperor’s New School is how he had to share the attic with Pacha’s kids while being forced to live as a peasant. So, the episode, Room for Improvement, is quick to get rid of that joke by simply …
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 1- Pilot
This is the beginning of the series, and the whole story is being introduced in a very clever way. It really made the story look appealing. But there was this feeling that it was going to be some clever spy-like story where the hero outsmarts everyone and manages to …
The Twilight Zone: Long Live Walter Jameson TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Long Live Walter Jameson is one of the shows I really don’t like much. A big part of that is the primary guest star, Kevin McCarthy, who is one of those boring actors in my opinion. I realize he’s done a lot, but for …
Stargate SG-1: Collateral Damage
Stargate SG-1: Collateral Damage is another of the season nine shows that I tolerate Ben Browder’s Cameron Mitchell character a bid more than in other shows. It’s probably for the same reason as the last time — he’s somewhat away from the team and able to be himself …
Trailer Park Boys TV show
For years now, the Trailer Park Boys has been one of the funniest shows on television. Following the antics of the residents of Sunnyvale Trailer Park in Nova Scotia, it is always an entertaining treat to watch.
The biggest problem with the show, though, is the few shows that …
M*A*S*H: No Sweat
In M*A*S*H: No Sweat from season nine, the 4077th is going through a hot spell. In fact, it’s so hot that Major Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) has prickly heat that is about to drive her crazy.
Setting up part of the craziness in this episode, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry …

Sometimes these documentaries are about animals, sometimes about people, sometimes about politics and sometimes about history. Many of these documentaries can be found on Netflix’s …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Pancho TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Pancho didn’t impress me, especially with the way it began.

Have Gun - Will Travel: Shadow of a Man TV Show

The Simpson’s: Today I am a Clown
I finally got a chance to watch the Simpson’s episode “Today I am a Clown” in its entirety yesterday and it was a halfway decent episode, though not one of the better ones I have seen.
Krusty the Clown is seeking meaning in his life and comes to the realization …
ESPN’s Monday Night Football
I used to like to watch Monday night football when the game was enhnaced by good television sports casters such as Howard Cosell, John Madden, and Al Micheals. Now I just mute it. I don’t know why but I just don’t feel it with the current announcers. …
Doctor Who: School Reunion
The Doctor comes face to face with an old ally in this adventure. When he and Rose go undercover at a comprehensive school at the advice of friend Mickey; it’s not just a dastardly alien plot they come face to face with, when old companion Sarah Jane Smith bumps …
Jake Ryan and Miley Stewart
Jake Ryan and Miley Stewart are on the TV sitcom Hannah Montana and this is especially catered to the young teenagers and kids. I think this story is quite amazing and on some episodes if you are an avid viewer, you will come across the main character’s Miley Stewart …

Ghost Hunters: Spirits on the Water
I had to get ready for bed so I missed part of the Ghost Hunters episode “Spirits on the Water” last night. But, from what I saw, it was somewhat interesting.
The TAPS team was asked to investigate two separate ships that were supposedly haunted. The first one turned out …
Max Headroom: Lessons TV show
The topic of Max Headroom: Lessons has to do in part with censorship, including the use of profanity. Now that’s a still relevant issue that continues to be controversial in our true reality.
This half-hour program, which to me is both a comedy and a drama due its mix …
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 6
Revelations and the long resolution of Death of an Expert Witness occurs in this sixth and final episode. We’ve been following the murder investigation conducted by Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh, played by Roy Marsden, into the death of Edwin Lorimer and, more recently, Stella ‘Star’ Mawson, who, as …
The Big C (tv series)
“The Big C” was one of those few television series that I was fortunate enough to start watching when it first premiered on television back when I still had Showtime. It was a bit unusual in comparison to the television series I would tend to watch especially at that …
Late Show with David Letterman
David letterman is a very funny late night show that I have been watching since I was a small child. The Late show with David letterman is much like all other late night shows.
The show starts off with a stand up routine by letterman that usually discusses topics that …

House: 5 to 9
Well, when I heard last night’s House episode, 5 to 9, was being told through the eyes of Cuddy versus House, I had some serious doubts. She is quickly becoming my least favorite character on the show and I didn’t think I would enjoy the episode.
But, I have to …
The Batman: Episode - Team Penguin
I like to watch certain cartoon shows and The Batman is one of many on my lineup. This week I saw an episode of The Batman by the title of “Team Penguin.” This episode starts off with Penguin (who is a villain) watching a movie and being inspired to …
Columbo: Swan Song TV Show
Swan Song is a truly memorable episode of Columbo because it’s part musical. Well, not in the purest sense, but the main guest star is country legend, Johnny Cash. Cash plays Tommy Brown, a singer and husband of Edna Brown. Edna is played by the dynamic …
Law & Order SVU: Anchor
Last night’s Law & Order SVU episode was one that was definitely designed to get you angry. The episode, entitled Anchor, involved Fin investigating a series of child murders in New York that are tied to the fact they are the children of illegal immigrants born in the country, …
Dancing with the Stars - 3/16/09
The second episode of Dancing with the Stars continued the injury bus. I don’t know what it is about this show, but the stars are dropping like flies. First, before the show even hit the air last week, Nancy O’Dell and Jewel both had injuries that took …
Thriller: The Prisoner in the Mirror TV Show
From May 1961, Thriller: The Prisoner in the Mirror was one of the first episodes I’d seen of this science fiction anthology. I love the opening with Boris Karloff. From watching this show and others, Karloff does a nice opening and sometimes closing, but what makes it …
