The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 10: Take Two
This episode gets a bit on the meta side as the Ghostbusters travel to Hollywood to act as consultants on the production of a Ghostbusters movie. Interestingly enough, it’s THE Ghostbusters movie. Direct references are made to Ackroyd, Ramis, and Murray; who obviously starred in the picture, …
Stargate SG1: 2010

Law & Order SVU: Retro
Some episodes of Law & Order SVU really do get you thinking. This was the case on tonight’s episode “Retro.”
There are times I wonder how some doctors manage to get and keep their medical degrees. I can understand having a certain point of view when it comes to controversial …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Justice
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Justice is the first Prime Directive episode done on this series, although unfortunately, I do not think it is one of the show’s better “message” type shows. In this episode, the Enterprise crew visit a world that is very peaceful and quite laid …
That 70s Show: The Drive-in
The That 70s Show Episode “The Drive-in” is one of the funnier episodes this show ever made. And, the funny part about that is it really has nothing to do with a drive-in.
OK, I should re-phrase that, you do have a whole storyline where Eric, Kelso, Jackie and Donna …
Ghost Hunters: New Hampshire Gothic
I will admit it, last night’s episode of Ghost Hunters was actually pretty good. The team visited two places, one in New Hampshire and the other in Florida and found some pretty decent evidence this time around.
Instead of the usual personal experiences and EVPS that can be left open …
Seven days Season 3 Episode 7 The Fire Last Time
I guess every show sooner or later has to have an episode about escaped prisoners so the time for this show to present such an episode has arrived. Although the title of the show was The Fire Last Time I will remember it under another title, The Episode That …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 5
In a episode focused on an obscure person, is it not more essential for one to know themselves before they know about others? In the case of Rei Ayanami, there may be no answers in sight or their may have never been answers to her being in this shattered …
Clifford: To Catch a Bird
Another episode of Clifford the Big Red Dog and yet another episode I have to recommend to parents. Why don’t I let my daughter watch this show more often?
The episode “To Catch a Bird” is a great one because it actually has to challenge your belief in true friendship. …
Corner Gas TV Show
Corner Gas is a Canadian show usually seen on the Comedy Network. It’s set in Dog River, a small town in the prairies, and is about some people at a gas station and a diner.
It’s pretty funny, full of Canadian references and mostly making fun of the characters …

Modern Family (comedy tv series)
Although I discovered the sitcom Modern Family years after it begun, it has become one of my favourite series to watch especially after a long day at work. This is because a part from the fact that there is never a boring episode, it never fails to make me laugh …
Comcast
Okay, now I usually do reviews on things I like, but this time I have had it! Comcast (used to be Time Warner cable here) has driven me to my limit. You would think that after being with them for so long and not moving to Direct TV, …

Kim Possible: Steal Wheels
Kim Possible is a show on Disney about a cheerleader and her bumbling sidekick (and his pet naked mole rat) who repeatedly saves the world. It is a very cute cartoon aimed mainly at teens, but also enjoyable for adults- or at least this adult.
In Steal Wheels, the first …
Spongebob Squarepants: Scaredy Pants
Now that Halloween is coming up, there are plenty of Halloween movies and television episodes on TV. One of those shows is Spongebob Squarepants: Scaredy Pants.
The episode is pretty interesting, in my opinion. It’s Halloween night and everyone in Bikini Bottom goes out of their way to scare Spongebob …
Highway Patrol: License Plates TV Show
The 29th episode of Highway Patrol’s first season was a nice show called License Plates. I say nice because I really enjoyed it. It entertained me and brought me smiles, which I appreciated. That’s mainly because of the interaction between California Highway Patrol Chief of Police …
Bones: Spaceman in a Crater
Well, this episode of Bones, Spaceman in a Crater, turned out to be decent; but the earlier episodes usually were; unlike some of the more recent ones.
This episode had the team investigating remains that apparently had fallen from a plan and shattered upon contact with the ground. After seeing …

John Doe season 1 episode 3 Doe, re, mi
This is really an odd episode. OK, the same idea of this show about a man who doesn’t know anything about himself but knows everything about everything else id odd itself, but it is also kind a interesting because people usually like different stuff. We all have our own …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie and His Merry Men TV Show

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided TV show
I just adore Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided for several reasons. The first is that this is one of those shows where just about every regular has their moment. It’s not easy to do that in an ensemble show like this one, but it’s …
Wife Swap
I like watching Wife Swap because it gives me a look into other people’s homes! I admit it, I’m nosy! And Wife Swap allows me to peek into the living rooms of other Americans, PLUS I get to watch what happens when they let a total stranger …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Matter of Honor
This second season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation - “A Matter of Honor” is an episode that is quite fun to watch, although it does have its flaws. This is the show’s second Klingon-focused episode, and like the first Klingon episode, this episode excels - at least, …
Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 16
Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 16 is a good episode, not to be missed. I watched it with a very curious interest and there are lots of character developments in this episode. I love the dinner scene whereby Orson and Bree and Tom and Lynette have dinner together …

The Secret Life Of The American Teenager
One night I was at home bored, channel surfing. I came across The Secret Life Of The American Teenager marathon on ABC Family. Now, i’m usually not interested in these types of shows, especially not the sitcoms from ABC Family. However, I kept hearing and seeing all the promotional …

Home Improvement: Adios
Since there wasn’t anything really worth watching on TV yesterday afternoon, I ended up watching Home Improvement re-runs; including the one where Randy leaves the show to go to Costa Rica.
This was the first time I have seen this episode (though I have heard about it) and I have …

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 …
The Craig Ferguson Show - 2/19/09
I’ve only watched The Craig Ferguson Show a couple of times and tonight’s episode was a good reason why. I didn’t laugh at the so-called monologue, which included a lot of references to something that happened the night before, so anyone tuning in who hadn’t seen the show …
Sea Hunt: River Treasure TV Show
Oh goodness, we are back in some South American unnamed country again. I really don’t like these episodes of Sea Hunt that take diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) to these locales. I want underwater adventures, and I refuse to believe that they couldn’t come up with more …
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man is a powerful episode of this series. It’s a strong show take takes place in a futuristic society where there is no deity and the definition of being useful is totally up to the totalitarian society. The use of this kind …
The Twilight Zone: The Gift TV Show
I’m not sure exactly why, but The Twilight Zone: The Gift has never been a favorite episode, even though the ending is pretty much up my alley when it comes to science fiction. I think in part it’s the cultural thing because the story takes place entirely …
Models of the Runway: That’s a Wrap
Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect with the final episode of Models of the Runway considering it came on after the Project Runway finale and we already knew who the winner was. I figured it would be a wrap up episode where they showed her at her modeling …

Law & Order SVU: Hardwired
I got to watch bits and pieces of last night’s Law & Order SVU episode Hardwired. For the most part, it was OK. But, it really wasn’t anything that stood out when compared to the other episodes I’ve seen of the show.
Basically, it had the same plot as others, …
Parking Wars: S4, Ep 2 TV Show
The second episode of Parking Wars’ fourth season began by following a ticketing agent in Detroit. That’s something the show added a while back, expanding their focus from just Philadelphia.
