TV : Dead Like Me
When George Lass (Ellen Muth) is hit and killed by a toilet seat plummeting towards earth, she is instantly taken as a reaper, one of those post-death individuals relied on to take the souls of people before they die. The quirky series lasted only two season but in that …
America’s Got Talent
I was only able to watch a few episodes of the American television reality series “America’s Got Talent”. However, because I was busy for some time I eventually forgot about it and remembered about it again when the season was then over. Nevertheless, I can still recall enough about …
Undercover Boss Australia: Veloia TV Show
Undercover Boss Australia featured the top man at the Veloia company. This was the 2nd show of the first season for the down under edition and it features Peter Murray, Director of Operations for this waste management and environmental services company.
One thing I noticed in the premier and …
Due South: We Are the Eggmen
This episode of Due South opens with a funny bit, picking up where they left off in the last show. I laughed out loud then, and I did just now, too. Due South: Starman has Benton Fraser and Diefenbacker running some tracking drills. Their exchange is …
Highway Patrol: Plant Robbery TV Show
Highway Patrol: Plant Robbery is not a story I like to watch really. By happenstance, I’ve seen it a couple of times, and neither viewing was all that pleasurable, simply because there’s no one in the story I like. In other words, none of the characters really …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Hunt the Man Down
Have Gun - Will Travel: Hunt the Man Down deals with a range war that pits brother against brother. Range wars are a common plot in westerns and in its first two seasons, this thirty-minute western has done several shows with that them. Richard Boone stars as …
Seven days season 3 episode 4 The Dunwych Madness
Frank Parker works for a secret government organization that uses alien technology to send him 7 days back in time when bad things happen so that he ca fix them.
In this episode the project got a new member, Hooter, because Ballard took leave. Frank goes to visit his friend …
Stargate SG-1: 200
Stargate SG-1: 200 was the celebration of Stargate SG-1’s two-hundredth episode and unlike the show done for number 100 which was for the crew, this one was more for the fans. An important thing to point out, per the producers, is that this show really doesn’t happen. …
The Sing-Off: Night One
Recently, NBC hosted a four-part program hosted by Nick Lachey where different amateur acapella groups performed. These groups had to essentially sing and make their own music. In other words, it had to sound like there was a band, when there really wasn’t.
The show was a variation …
Whoopi: American Woman TV Show
Airing originally in January 2004, Whoopi: American Woman features the usually very funny Rue McClanahan as a guest of the Hotel Lamont, the place owned by Mavis Rae (Whoopi Goldberg). The big surprise for me about this show is that there really weren’t any laughing out loud moments. …
Serial Experiments Lain Episode 4: Religion
First things first, in regards to the theme song (which I’m still digging). The group is from Britain, they aren’t American like I said in the review for the first episode. Ok, on to the review.
This show manages to go back and forth between nonsensical and downright …
The First Leaders’ Debate TV show
Since I am British and since up until this election campaign we had never before had an American style live TV debate, I was extremely interested to see how this one would play out. ITV won the battle to stage the first of what will be three debates, and …
JUMONG
Kudos to “Jumong”, a Korean telenovea running in Philippine local TV daily from Monday to Friday at prime time. I was not curious to anticipate the program when it was first launched its premier telecast a year ago since it will will be run at the late hour …
What not to Wear
What not to wear, after 250 episodes, somehow manages to still be one of my favorite things to watch on television. In each episode, one fashion challenged person is nominated by his or her friends for a trip to New York, a fashion consultation with Stacy London and …
Warehouse 13 Season 1 Episode 8 Duped
This episode had to do with Alice, the magical mirror and Lewis Carroll, I really like similar stories because they aren’t only interesting but also educational. What happened is that the secret agent Myka got stuck in the mirror while Alice gets into Myka’s body. Nobody realises what happened …
Heroes TV Series
About a month or two ago I was kindly asked to tune in to NBC on a Monday night at 9pm EST to watch am episode of Heroes, where, some human beings had super powers. Typical of a comic book and the inter weavings of story lines, short plots …
Gargoyles Episode 2.4 A Lighthouse in the sea of time
This episode features the return of Macbeth. His goal is to obtain the recently uncovered scrolls of Merlin. I know that King Arthur comes into play later in the series, so this was probably a way to plant that seed.
The focus of the episode is about reading. …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Lonely One TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Lonely One is a story about a serial killer in a small, rural town. Known as the Lonely One, the killer strikes once a month, including the morning of when this science fiction story begins. The show, a cable program, aired in …
Yogi Bear
Yogi Bear is one of my favorite TV shows ever! I just love this show and I find it to be very entertaining. I think Yogi is funny and his voice is really funny. BoBo is his little friend who travels the forest with Yogi bear. This show is funny …
Dairy Q Commercials
I have seen several of the Dairy Queen commercials that are airing on television and for me they do NOT make me want to go out and purchase anything they have. Take the woman dressed up as an ice cream and the man as the waffle bowl. She shows …
That Girl: Fly Me to the Moon
Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to work in an ad campaign for the Air Force promoting women in the service in That Girl: Fly Me to the Moon. Robert Colbert, who I always recall mostly from Time Tunnel, appears as Major Brian James. He ends up jetting …
CSI Season 1 Episode 16 Too Tough to Die
I really loved this episode. I did not care much for the first case, not because it wasn’t interesting and not because it was not important, but because of all the emotional story behind in. I don’t like it when the writers write some extra sentimental or righteous scenes …
Hogan’s Heroes: The Big Record
Well, that was a cute episode of the show Hogan’s Heroes at lunch today; the Big Record; though it was somewhat predictable.
Basically, they are kicked out of the recreation hall so the Gestapo can have an important top secret meeting there. Hogan and his crew want to find out …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Guilt
Synopsis: ADA Cabott needs testimony from a teenaged boy in order to convict the man who raped him and apparently several others. However, her case is thrown into jeopardy when the boy tries to kill himself and ends up in a coma.
What I liked about this episode: The thing …
Mr. Monk and the Paper Boy
I had never seen the Monk episode Mr. Monk and the Paper Boy before and I have to admit, after seeing it finally, I absolutely loved it. It was one of the best Monk episodes ever made.
Monk has his paper boy killed on his doorstep and the newspapers are …
Hawaii Five-0: Nalowale TV Show
Hawaii Five-0: Nalowale revolves around the discovery of a dead teenager which sets off a hunt for her sister, who is also missing. The Five-0 team is actually brought in by special request of the governor, who in this re-think of the Jack Lord drama is played by …
Burn Notice: Bad Breaks
Burn Notice: Bad Breaks is a so-so episode in my book. It’s not one that really zings my interest button, but there is some decent acting and a somewhat interesting plot. It might be more fun for regular fans of the show, people who watched it during …
Due South: Letting Go
Due South: Letting Go is the final episode of this series for the first season, and it continues to resolve the events of Victoria’s Secret, Part 1 and Part 2. The good news is that Diefenbacker is all well now and staying with Fraser as he recovers. …
Due South: Mountie and Soul
Due South: Mountie and Soul doesn’t begin promisingly for me. I don’t like boxing, and the story begins with Fraser, the Vecchio replacement, and Francesca at a boxing ring. Too much of these stories are being focused on this newcomer, Callum Keith Rennie, as the Vecchio replacement …
Band of Brothers episode 5 “Crossroads”
Band of Brothers episode 5 Crossroads has Easy Company facing off with German resistance and is centered on Richard Winters who has been promoted and has to give a detailed report of the battle.
This episode was really intense and the war scenes in it were insane. You …

Fireball XL5: The Robot Freighter Mystery
Of the 39 episodes filmed of this children’s show, The Robot Freighter Mystery is one of the few that I don’t react to with lots of love. Fireball XL5 is just awesome as a series. Some of the stories have been very dramatic and realistic in their …
How I Met Your Mother: Naked Man
“Naked Man” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on November 24, 2008 on CBS. This was a good episode of a very funny series. It was nice to see Ted bounce back from his depression since Stella dumped him at what was …

Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 5 Performance TV Show
The performance show for the 11th season of Dancing With the Stars, Week 5, was again given too much time. The network is milking this show, and if they aren’t careful, they’ll overdo it and viewers will go away. We’re smart, and we’ll tire of being toyed …
Stargate SG-1: Point of View
Season three of Stargate SG-1 gives us what feels like the annual alternate universe/reality story when the quantum mirror from episode one’s There But For the Grace of God episode is activated by another reality. Thus we get two Sam Carters in Stargate SG-1: Point of View. It …

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, …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Great Wide World Over There TV Show
I was very surprised that I enjoyed The Ray Bradbury Theater: Great Wide World Over There as much as I did. This is a really quiet, unassuming half hour from October 1992. The cable show starred Tyne Daly as Cora Gibbs, Bill Johnson as her husband, Tom …
New girl ‘Jeff Day’, TV show
Jeff Day is the fifteenth episode in the fifth season of New Girl, a sit-com, where Jeff Day is Jessica’s Day fictional alter-ego. There were two plots, Jess trying to buy a car with Nick’s and Sam’s help, and the other one involving Cece and Schmidt trying to get to …
Judge Judy (American Court show)
I’ve started watching the TV program Judge Judy back in 2007 when at that time I don’t really have much thing to do at home while I was pregnant with my first child. This TV program is about an American reality based show which features Judith Sheindlin which …
Gilligan’s Island - Plant You Now, Dig You Later TV Episode
While watching this Plant You Now, Dig You Later episode, I saw this whole as an attempt to evade boredom and to have some sort of connection and normalcy to the operations to the world off the island. So here we go again just like in the President Gilligan …
InSecurity: A TV comedy show
I loved the new Canadian action-comedy show of CBC. The story revolves around spies of a fictional government office called National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA). It stars Natalie Lisinka as Alex Cranston, Canada’s version of Alias. She’s suppose to be a kick-ass spy who gets into all …
Mad TV television series
One of my favorite comedy series at this point is “Mad TV” which I have noticed is broadcast on the channels Comedy Central and Fox. I do not watch it on Fox though, since I’ve noticed that it seems to be broadcast there when I am in the middle …
