Sometimes, when you have a television series that has a serial plot-line, you end up with a somewhat weak episode that is primarily meant to introduce new plot points for the season.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, “Homecoming” fits this description.
The whole Buffy versus Cordelia for homecoming queen thing …

From February 1963, The Andy Griffith Show: The Great Filling Station Robbery deals with a troubled teenager. Andy gets him a job at the gas station, working with Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors) while the owner, Wally, is out of town. The problem comes when there’s a robbery …

Moesha is a pretty cool TV show. It’s about a girl named Moesha who is played by the singer Brandy. She is pretty cool and funny. I like this show because Moesha is always faithful and good to her friends. She always teaches us that friends come first in life. …

We follow up an episode dealing with a Satanic cult with one that deals with voodoo. This episode could’ve very easily felt like a pale rehash, but it does enough differently that it is able to differentiate itself from its predecessor.
I wasn’t sure about this episode …

When I first heard about the television show Big Love I expected something sexier, something funny, witty and basically something completely different to what the show is.
Why? Because it’s a show about polygamy and having three wives can only mean one thing . . . drama.
So there isn’t …

From 2009, this third entry of the The Prisoner is called Anvil. In it, 2 (Ian McKellen) wants Six (James Caviezel) to work for him. This time, he agrees.
The job in question is to seek out dreamers, people who dream of life outside of the village. …

Just as “Midnight” focused on the Doctor and featured Donna in a minimal capacity, so too does this one focus on one character while leaving another one on the sidelines, though this time it inverts that formula. The focus is on Donna and the episode takes a look at …

After Aang’s latest trip into the Avatar state, he becomes worried about the lack of control and decides to abandon all emotion. It starts off rather subtle, but becomes more obvious as the episode progresses, until he flat out explains the reasons for his detachment.
Katara is naturally …

The eighth show of the sixth and final season of Have Gun - Will Travel was called The Predators. Produced by Robert Sparks, we once again forego any San Francisco scene. This horrible decision must be Sparks’. I lament the lack of the opening lighthearted teaser …

This episode is titled “Weird” and boy does it live up to the name. It’s not as imcomprehensible as I thought it would be, but it’s still pretty bizarre.
For the first seven minutes or so we don’t even have a plot, just a seemingly random collection of mini-scenes. …

To me, the plot behind Have Gun - Will Travel: Duel at Florence is dang silliness, not that it doesn’t exist, even today, but it sure does point out how self-involved people can be. At the center of the whirlwind is a young woman who has three suitors. …

The Twilight Zone: The Grave is just plain weird to me. It centers around a dead man’s grave and whether or not a lawman has the guts to visit his grave. I don’t know; it’s just weird. I don’t see much substance in this story. …

Why does everybody seem to die around Jessica Fletcher? This question plagued my childhood when watching Murder She Wrote, every Sunday before the dreaded school day Monday reared its ugly head, was tradition.Surely, someone would notice, be it the first Sheriff played by Tom Bosely or his replacement. …

I’m not sure, but I think The Fall Guy: The Japanese Connection would have been better called The Hawaiian Connection. This is the show starring Lee Majors, who plays a stunt man named Colt Seavers whose side job is working as a bounty hunter. Most episodes start …

Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 7 gives us the resolution to the court-martial murder trial of Lt. Glenn Matthews (Andrew Stevens). Initial joy turns to anger and hurt with the verdict. Better than the verdict for me, though, was the bit before it when Lt. Simon Adams convinced …

Since I saw the trailer of The Walking Dead on cable, I just knew I had to watch it. Honestly I am not really a huge fan of zombies. I’m a bit terrified of them but I do watch them, which is probably the influence of my boyfriend since …

Season eight of Stargate SG-1 continues its downward spiral with an episode called Threads. Now, it’s important to note that there are two versions of this episode. One is a special that aired in a ninety minute format, while the other is the edited down show that airs …

Last night, I watched the made for television movie, The Haunting of Sarah. It was truly an excellent movie, that made one think……..and think.
The story begins with two sisters, twins, being born. Then, the tale whips along to 25 yrs. later, showing how one twin sister has become an …

Most everyone who knows me knows that I’m not a fan of Stargate Universe. Okay, I hate the thing, but I’ve had to watch a few episodes in order to see Michael Shanks, who is a terrific actor and my #2 personal all time favorite actor. That’s …

The still companionless Doctor finds himself investigating a new diet pill. As it happens, Donna Noble, the runaway bride, is investigating the same matter. You’d think that they would bump into each other right away so that the plot could get moving, but they don’t realize the …

In the second episode of the fourth season Ryan returns for the first time since he has been promoted to corporate and it is every bit as awkward as you might expect, but not quite as funny. Perhaps the humor of simple awareness has begun to grow stale on …

Part three of “The Jeffersons” episode, “George and Louise in a Bind” serves as the conclusion to the three part retrospective. What I like about this episode is how the writers have slowly been pushing George and Louise closer together, emotionally, to the point where George declares he won’t …

“Epilogue” is the 26th episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. However, if you expect it to wrap up the loose ends from “Divided We Fall,” you will be sorely disappointed. The episode is basically a tribute to Batman and tells us how great Batman is …

The ring has always been a symbol of an invisible but powerful bond. It usually signifies romantic relationship but also may be used for friends or sometimes relatives.
“Only The Ring Finger Knows” is a one-volume boy’s love comic written by Satoru Kannagi and illustrated by Hotaru Odagiri. Internationally, it …

I would like to think that most people today have come to realize something about life. That no matter where you go to college, you’re not always guaranteed success in life. Just because you go to Harvard or Princeton, you’re always going to get the highest paying jobs or …

If TV shows were food, then Medium would be my comfort food-the pizza or the ice cream or the well buttered popcorn. Medium tells the story of a woman- a wife and a stay at home mom to three girls, who had decided to come work for the state …

Jack Dalton is back again, only this time he thinks he’s going as crazy as I think his character really is. He’s sleepwalking and picturing himself shooting MacGyver. Something’s amiss, and he needs Mac to help him figure out what it is. The episode is called Brainwashed, …

I have never followed any show that is produced by GMA TV channel 7. I obviously am a follower of the other network - their rival named ABS-CBN; however, the time I had nothing else to watch but the show of Jessica Show, I immediately liked it. The show …

As folks who know me are aware, I’m not a big fan of Stargate Atlantis for many reasons, not the least of which is that I hold it responsible for the deterioration of quality on Stargate SG-1. Now that I’ve said that up front, here are both the …

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 …

Helen Slater has come a long way since the beginning of her career, something that is evident from her strong guest starring performance in CSI: New York: Do Not Pass Go. She’s the mom of a missing older teenager whose desperation to find him has her eager to …

From 1962, Gerry Anderson’s Fireball XL5: Space Immigrants is a mixture of ‘rah, women’s lib’ and ‘oops, she can’t do it without her man’. Okay, that’s not the plot, but it’s how the plot made me feel. The adorable, sexy space doctor of medicine, Doctor Venus, is …

Normally, I like pretty much everything my daughter is exposed to on Nick. However, their addition of the show Back at the Barnyard is an insult to parents everywhere.
There is nothing worthwhile about that show. The jokes are 100 times cruder than some “adult” cartoons on television and I …

Synopsis: After Mr. Krabs begins charging Spongebob and Squidward for “goofing off,” Squidward convinces his co-worker to join him and go on strike. The only problem is their efforts end up backfiring.

I was up kind of early yesterday morning because our youngest daughter didn’t want to sleep. So, I ended up flipping channels and, since there wasn’t anything else on at the time, I ended up watching an episode of What’s New Scooby Doo with her; Farmed and Dangerous.
I think …

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 …

I used to watch the television series “Even Stevens” when it used to air on the Disney Channel. It wasn’t my favorite show for the reason that I didn’t like the actor Shia Labouf’s crazy, fun loving character, Louis. I also hated the “Even Stevens” musical when it was …

The Season premier of Laguna Beach, Season Three, was an absolute disappointment. I am not ashamed to say I fell in love with the first two seasons, being swept each season premier. Season three, however, does not show much promise of conflict, or developing relationships that the viewer can …

This episode was a bit strange, but I enjoyed it anyway. I think the story ended up being a little bit too complicated and not very realistic. It was interesting because it shows how life does not always go according to plan and that fate is much more powerful …

Well, the Simpsons repeat that was on last night wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t what I was expecting it to be.
Weekend at Burnsie’s had so much potential. Homer injures his eye after befriending a bunch of crows only to make them mad at him later (I wonder what …
