In this episode, Heidi tells the designers they have worked really hard and deserve a treat and they will have a night on the town.
Everyone is in their rooms waiting for Tim to take them out and when he …

It is so very much entertaining and fun to watch Britney Spears on Ellen. There was this special showcase for the holiday that Ellen had put through and she, along with Britney went over to several homes and purely doing just that; singing and dancing and whatnot. Tremendously …

My wife and I got a chance to watch the new TV series called The Middle last night, specifically their episode “Christmas.”
I’m not sure but I believe this is a spin off of the show Malcolm in the Middle, a series I never watched. But, I will admit, this …

We watched the TV special Frosty the Snowman last night and, right after it, there was a newer special on the air called Frosty Returns.
I had never seen this holiday show before so I took the time to sit down and watch it with my two daughters (and wife).
It …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 13 has section 9 looking into the case of a kidnapped heiress after she is spotted after 16 years since she was kidnapped by a anti cyberization group.
This was an okay episode, it wasn’t the best in the series, and it …

Though Paris Hilton has barely made a blip on most people’s radar screen when this episode aired, it is clear that the main character is based on her. We have a spoiled brat of a celebrity daughter, who does little more than do drugs, drink, party, and sleep with …

The second season of Roseanne was pretty good. There were a lot more laughs than I was expecting, especially since this season came out in the late 1980s or early 1990s. I thought it would seem really dated and hard to follow, but it actually held up a lot …

William Katt burst onto the TV scene as The Greatest American Hero. Surviving that, he signed on to play Paul Drake Jr. in new Perry Mason movies, working with his mother, Barbara Hale. He left that gig to star in this political drama called Top of the …

Well, Professor Walsh certainly didn’t last very long on this show. One episode after trying to kill Buffy, she herself is stabbed to death in the episode “Goodbye Iowa.”
The romance between Buffy and Riley already seems strained by this episode too. He doesn’t want to accept the fact the …

I have long been a fan of anything with the words “Star” and “Trek” in the title. I watched the original series many years ago. But, when Star Trek: The Next Generation came on the scene, I refused to watch it simply because I wasn’t willing to accept a …

This episode reunites Tom Everett Scott and Billy West, who voiced Booster Gold and Skeets respectively in an episode of “Justice League Unlimited”. They reprise the roles here and it plays to a similar effect.
The characters play off each other the same way and Booster is …

I have to say, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Enemies” really had me fooled when I watched it; and that’s not something that happens very often.
I knew from a couple episodes back that Faith had entered the services of the mayor and was no longer fighting evil; she …

In this important episode of the MacGyver series, viewers meet Harry Jackson for the first time. Harry is MacGyver’s grandfather. Initially, the two are estranged, but after this, Harry shows up in many episodes over the series run. Harry is beautifully played by the talented John …

I just smile when I see the every day qualities that are so real in this show about the life of these space puppets. In Fireball XL5: A Day in the Life of a Space General, Lieutenant Ninety is a little overtired and ends up getting yelled at …

Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 17, 2010 was another disastrous TV show. There is just so little of interest in this hour.
First of all, there is a crazy bit about changing their seating sides because of Alexis’ hair. That woman is so shallow. I’ve …

Dancing with the Stars debuted a new season on September 21, 2009 with more celebrities than ever. Twenty, yes, twenty stars are included in this season’s show. The season premier is stretching over three nights. Tonight the focus was on the men.
The number one attention getter …

As another year of viewing pleasure draws to end, a sizable heap of shows lie cancelled, victims of the dreaded, unforgiving axe.
Amongst them, ABC’s sci-fi drama Defying Gravity: an ambitious tale of eight astronauts on a six year long exploration of the solar system. This show seemed to …

I haven’t mentioned yet how the opening ‘theme’ as it is for Have Gun - Will Travel changes with each episode. I don’t recall if that continues throughout the series run, but thus far, star Richard Boone draws his weapon, aims the gun at us, the viewers, and …

Spooks returns for another run, picking up where the last one left off.
MI5 head Harry Pearce is still in the custody of his abductors, while his team try desperately to track him down. Elsewhere, former Spook and fan favourite Ruth, is brought out of hiding when she and …

I am a big fan of the series Desperate Housewives. I am so glad it is on back to back episodes on Lifetime now. I am able to dvr two if not three different episodes every day. Desperate Housewives is on ABC normally, and the show made its debut back …

I haven’t seen any episodes of the old television show Emergency in some time now. But, we had dinner at my parents’ last night and my dad was watching it so I ended up watching one with him; “Zero.”
This episode turned out to be halfway interesting. You have a …

Did you manage to catch Meg Ryan on Ellen Talk Show Episode? Super awesome and Meg was all classy and gorgeous with her nice blonde hair, perky nose, expressive eyes and nice and gorgeous smile despite her age. She will always be one of my most favorite actresses …

Definitely one of the best of the three year run, Star Trek: The Ultimate Computer is terrific. It’s one I’ve never forgotten and it’s a show that has a lot of layers to it. The basic plot is that Richard Daystrom (William Marshall), a one time wunderkind …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Who Watches the Watchers is an episode that might seem somewhat offending and close-minded to some, while others will applaud its stance and attitude on the delicate subject of religion. In this episode, Captain Picard remarks that a culture that believes in Gods …

On this particular evening, the Arizona senator was on the receiving end of the barbs. Naturally, the political jokes …

I came across this TV show called The Walking Dead from AMC a few days ago and I just had to check it out. I mean, who doesn’t love zombies. I have been a long time fan of the Resident Evil which in my mind is the most comparable …

Wagon Train: The Widow O’Rourke Story is one of my favorites. It’s really quite different and interesting, and Robert Fuller gets to play two parts. Along with his regular role as Cooper Smith, the scout for the wagon train, in flashbacks he plays the Irish husband of …

The Ghostbusters find themselves dealing with a rogue Sandman, who is using a potent sleep powder to put people to sleep for 500 years and bring their dreams to life. This was a great episode. The villain was a credible threat and had an actual motivation beyond …

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Becoming,” which is the season 2 finale of the series, is a two part episode. Today I’m going to tackle it as one whole episode instead. And, I have to say, while a bit weak in some aspects, it really does set the …

Mr. Krabs starts to dig threw other people’s trash to hold a sale and make some money. I think that is so funny because it just goes to show how cheap he really is. He convinces Spongebob to buy a really ugly hat he found in the …

All good things come to an end, and apparently that’s what happened in Touching Evil: Love Lies Bleeding. I’ve said from the beginning that the part of the storyline I really loved was David Creegan’s relationship with his ex-wife, Holly, and their two daughters, Samantha and Lily. …

Jeremiah: Journeys End in Lovers Meeting was a little different in theme, and I rather enjoyed it because it dealt with belief. Belief isn’t tangible; it’s deep inside, part of the heart and soul. If you believe, you understand, and those who don’t believe always seek proof.
Kurdy …

This episode picks up where the last left off, with the Doctor and Amy heading back to WW2 after getting a call for help from Winston Churchill. Despite arriving a month late, things aren’t looking too bad. Well, all things considered, of course, there is still a …

There’s added enjoyment to Alias Smith and Jones: The Root of It All and that comes from the main guest star of the episode. Judy Carne, perhaps best known from Laugh-In and being the first wife of Burt Reynolds, appears here as Leslie O’Hara. However, it’s Carne’s …

If you’ve never heard of Grey’s Anatomy you must’ve been leaving under a rock because it’s one of the most popular shows out there. Grey’s Anatomy is on the ABC network. This follows the lives of a handful of medical interns, one of which is name Meredith Grey, and …

As I mentioned in my review of the episode “Witch” Buffy the Vampire Slayer finds herself fighting a lot more than vampires in the first season. The episode Teachers Pet was somewhat interesting, but like a lot of the episodes in this series, left a lot open to discussion.
The …

Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …

Stargate SG-1: The Warrior is a Jaffa centered storyline. Once again, Teal’c gets caught up in something that isn’t exactly what it seems. He tends to leap before he looks much of the time. Here, he practically turns his back on Jack and SG-1 because of …

This episode really has an awkward title if we know that Deux means two in french. At first I was really wondering why would the producer entitled this epsiode the way he did bu then I realised that it is because of a man who shows up and has …

Imagine that you are a highly respected, handsome man with a wonderful life of the American Dream. You have it all. Family, friends, terrific job, and all that one works for in life. Imagine how much you are in love with your wife, and how much she loves you.
Now, …

I find the TV reality show Trading Spouses truly awesome. Actually, I have a very bad impression of the show when I initially started watching, but after some time, I’ve gotten the message of the show and noticing how some families featured are indeed having a bigger problem issue …
