M*A*S*H: The Consultant
This episode should have been a letter from Hawkeye Pierce to his father, considering that Alan Alda’s real father, Robert Alda, guest stars in this episode. M*A*S*H: The Consultant has Hawkeye and Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) in Tokyo for a seminar, which they have no intention of …
Undercovers: Not Without My Daughter TV Show
Undercovers: Not Without My Daughter aired in October 2010 as part of this spy series first season on NBC TV. On the whole, I’m liking the concept of the show, but there are parts of it that need to be energized and varied or it risks becoming far …
Stargate SG-1: Stronghold
From the near perfect to ridiculousness, this is the path season nine of Stargate SG-1 has taken. In Stargate SG-1: Stronghold, there is one plot that is so unbelievable that it stunned me.
Mitchell has a friend who is dying. This guy was his competition, so it goes, …
Adam-12: Eyewitness
My favorite scene in Adam-12: Eyewitness from season four is a segment with a dog. It’s a cute dog and in the show, he’s a seeing eye dog. I pretty much enjoy everything about this and the way Martin Milner as Officer Pete Malloy plays with him.
This …
Big Brother 12 - Week 1, Show 1 TV Show
I actually watched the very first episode of the original Big Brother in America. That first season was nothing like this show is today. For me, that’s a negative. I actually still find that first cast endearing, and I often wonder where they are today and how …
Star Trek: The Apple TV Show
Gene Roddenberry tackles Eden yet again in Star Trek: The Apple. The series creator seems to love to show that books shouldn’t be judged by their covers and that living easy isn’t necessarily living. Man never quite finds paradise in Star Trek.
Another red shirt goes down before …
Beast Wars - Double Jeopardy
Beast Wars - Double Jeopardy is the second episode of the series to introduce a new character. In the previous episode, the Maximals received a new member, and in this episode, it is the Predicons that receive a new fighter. Unfortunately, Blackarachnia is not given much time to shine …
Jennifer Aniston on Ellen
I remember watching Jennifer Aniston on Ellen and it was really cool. Jen is very humble and natural and she has this great hair, even years before. I think it was a long-time episode come to think of it now, because at that time she was still married to …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man of Many Faces TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man of Many Faces, episode 6 of season 4, and begins with a shocker. Well, for those who fall for these sort of things, anyway. We’re at a press conference where Dr. Randolph Mason claims that Admiral Nelson is opposed …
Happy Days TV Episode: Who Gives a Hootenanny
My wife was hogging the computer this morning so, rather than being able to place an update on Facebook, I was on the couch watching early morning re-runs while having breakfast. One of the episodes was a Happy Days re-run called Who Gives a Hootenanny.
This is a later episode …

Sony Bravia HDTV
Ever since our old TV started to show signs of breaking down I had been thinking for a replacement. I finally decided to buy a new one last month, a Sony Bravia HDTV. It was a 22 inch flat LCD, model KLV BX300. The original price was 1000 Saudi …

Stargate SG-1: Bad Guys
Okay, I admit it. For some odd reason, I actually do like this tenth season entry for Stargate SG-1, even with Vala there. “Bad Guys” is really the only one I can think of that I can make that statement with. Of course, Vala is with …
Downunder Horsemanship
Downunder Horsemanship by Clinton Anderson is a great TV show. Clinton Anderson is an internationally recognized horse trainer and competitor. He is a native Australian and I just love his accent. Clinton’s program, Downunder Horsemanship, most often focuses on working with problem horses and training young horses. What I …
Highway Patrol: Wounded TV Show
Wounded, from season two of Highway Patrol, is actually an episode I enjoyed very much. In fact, it’s one of the best episodes in my opinion, and it’s certainly in the top ten for me. The reason for that is the premise of the show and also …
Star Trek: Tomorrow Is Yesterday TV Show
I’ve always liked Star Trek: Tomorrow Is Yesterday, an episode where future returns to the past. In this outing, the Enterprise goes back in time to the late 1960’s Earth. It’s a neat twist.
Roger Perry normally bores me in his roles, but I like this portrayal of …
Hawaii Five-O: Once Upon a Time: Part I
Hawaii Five-O: Once Upon a Time: Part I was an enticing tale about Steve McGarrett’s sister, Mary Ann Whalen, whose child is dying from cancer. At the request of his brother-in-law, Tom Whalen, McGarrett flies to Los Angeles and discovers that Mary Ann has become convinced that Dr. …
Psych: Christmas Joy
Hmm, first a Monk Christmas episode and now a Psych one; anyone else sense a theme here? Just kidding. As far as the episode “Christmas Joy” goes, it wasn’t too bad but also didn’t quite hit the standards I’ve come to expect from this detective show.
I will say the …
The Soup
The E! television production The Soup, starring Joel McHale, is an incredibly fun and hilarious half hour of television. It is essentially a venue for McHale and his team of interns (the staff of this show is impressively small) to take a look at the past week in …
Meet The Parents - TV Show - E4
If you are a single lad, or a lad that has recently started seeing a new girl, then I have seen a t.v show that would really put me off the idea of ever being in a relationship again. Meet The Parents on E4 is where a lad can …

Law & Order SVU: Users

Clueless T.V. Series
This T.V. show series came out in the 90’s. I really like the girly type of its theme and their fashion forward casts. It’s so colorful. Well, I was younger when this came out so I have less knowledge on what fashion really have too. Cher is your quintessential …

Well this one has taken a lot of knocks this year. My enthusiasm to watch it was off and on before I actually turned on the DVD. However, after the first episode my negativity was calmed and I was ready to watch more! From the start …
NCIS TV show
I have watched every episode of NCIS currently on air. The show itself has many good points that keeps me returning to it every time I see it on my guide channel. The characters depth and personality, story development, and interesting interesting twists and turns keep me …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: George Washington TV Show
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour took an odd turn this time around for its celebrity roast, going from the living to the dead, literally. The Man of the Week was President George Washington, played by Jim Leighton wearing revolutionary war attire. It was an intriguing idea that …
Black Bart Pilot Episode

Stargate SG-1: Moebius Part 1
Stargate SG-1: Moebius Part 1 continues the arc that I’m not fond of, even though, as I’ve said, there are some good moments. Basically, SG-1 goes back in time to get a ZPM and messes things up.
Here’s the good and bad of this particular show:
–Another recurring character is …
Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends on PBS
Thomas and his friends have been entertaining the children of America, including my own, since 1984. Every child loves a train. The magic of going on a trip to places unknown and sharing in Thomas adventures is just too alluring. The series is based on books …

Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 9

Gordon Wynn portrays …
Hawthorne: Final Curtain TV Show
Hawthorne: Final Curtain was an okay episode, but I was more frustrated by it than anything else.
First, let’s take a look at what the title, Final Curtain, was referring to. One of the doctors from back in the day who had worked at James River Hospital shows up. …
House: Moving the Chains
Well, last night’s episode of House was somewhat interesting.

MLB TV Service
I just recently switched from satellite TV to MLB TV thinking it would be more convenient for watching games and I think it was a horrible choice. They released a beta version during spring training and I saw major issues with the connection and video quality that I figured …
Breaking Bad: Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot

Highlander the Series - 105 - Freefall
„Freefall” is the fifth episode in the first season of Highlander. It also guest stars Joan Jett as Felicia Martins.
Up until this episode, “Highlander” doesn’t really show good acting skills of it’s cast. Joan Jett fits right in with the bunch. Her acting skills leave much to be desired, …
Gia movie (1998)
I never really heard of the American supermodel Gia Carangi quite possibly since she had died two years before I was born. However, after learning recently about her, and seeing that her pictures looked familiar, I became especially interested when I learned that the actress Angelina Jolie had played …
Barney show
My almost two-year-old loves this show. It is one of her favorites, along with the Big Comfy Couch. I could do without watching it, but I like that she has a show or two that she likes, so I can have a bit of a break during the day.
As …
Supergirl TV Season 1, Episode 10: Childish Things
“Childish Things” was a good start for a Winn-centric story which the writers gave this week. I hope a few more will happen in the future too. It has been a worry of mine watching other cast members relegated to the side lines in order to expand the “big three” …
