The Veil: The Doctors TV Show
One thing I really like about this anthology series called The Veil is the authenticity I feel from it. I think that comes from it being a product of Hal Roach. The sets are very detailed and even remarkable. Even the costumes seem to fit the …
Leave It to Beaver
“Leave It to Beaver” is a reminder of an era that will never exist again. This classic television show was made during a time when most kids worries were more about grades, homework, crushes on the opposite sex and trying to get along with parents. Parents, teachers …
Spontaneous Combustion
This episode of South Park is really great and very funny. The episode starts with the boys getting kicked out of a general store because they are trying to buy an �erection� to give to Kyle�s dad so his parents will stop fighting. And the jokes just get …
Panasonic TC-P4282 42 Inches HDTV Ready Plasma Television
My sister bought a plasma television that will be placed in our bed room. This is for the reason that when my father is watching in our small living room we cannot watch our favorite programs, especially the Tele-series. She bought a television for us so that we can …

Khana Khazana
Whenever I have the spare time I love to watch the television. Normally I will be free in the afternoon and I watch some cookery shows. There is a cookery show, which I never miss to watch and that is the Khana Khazana. This cookery show …
Back at the Barnyard
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 …
Wagon Train: The Sam Spicer Story
Another Wagon Train episode from season seven was The Sam Spicer Story, which guest starred Ed Begley and Clu Gulager. The story focuses on teenager, Barnaby West, as played by Michael Burns. He’s a recurring character on the show, appearing in many of the episodes almost like a …
Simpsons - Loan-A-Lisa
This is one of the episodes that I can honestly say Lisa is not completely and totally annoying. She actually does a good thing for someone else and that is always worth talking about. Giving money to someone who is in need or wants to start a business but …
Tom and Jerry
Tom and Jerry is one of my favorite cat and mouse shows! I think this show is so funny! The funniest thing about it, is that the cat can never get the mouse! I think the music in the show along with the sound affects is what makes the show …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 11: The Lodger
After the downer ending from the previous episode, we get a more light-hearted romp that really thrives on its comedy. The opening leads you to believe that we’re going to have a “companion lite” episode as the Doctor is seemingly booted off of the TARDIS and is unable to …
Monk - The Complete Third Season
Monk - The Complete Third Season features more drama than any of the other seasons, and boy does it work well. Four episodes in particular are emotionally powerful: Mr. Monk Takes Manhattan, Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine, Mr. Monk vs. the Cobra, and Mr. Monk and the Kid. This …
Psych: Lassie Did a Bad Bad Thing
I enjoyed Phych from its first episode but I always feared that it would become stale. Many of the jokes were funny once but even by the third or fourth episode I was over them. That is why I am so happy that the show has continued to improve.
Much …

MASH -Season 1
Season one of MASH was and OK season by the standards of the show. The first episodes, starting with the Pilot attempted to keep the characters similar to what was in the movie but, by the end of the first season, many of the extra characters (like Ugly John) …
I Love Lucy (TV series) - The Diet (Episode)
“The Diet” is an episode of “I Love Lucy”. Like some episodes of “I Love Lucy”, the episode itself is extremely enjoyable, but unfortunately, the writers do something that contradicts either something that happened earlier or later in the series. It kind of takes away some of the realism …
Laramie: The Killer Legend TV Show
Jess Harper (Robert Fuller) is acting as sheriff in Laramie as the action in this hour of Laramie begins. Entitled The Killer Legend, this is a very strong hour of programming and one that I just love to watch. Before the opening teaser ends, Jess finds himself …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Warlord
While Soon-Tek Oh is an incredible actor and does his normal terrific job in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Warlord, it’s not enough to carry this show; at least, not for me. In this episode, Oh plays Yataki, the warlord, and he does a good job, as always. …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder with Mirrors TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder with Mirrors is one of my favorite episodes of this series, and the reason is due to the special guest star, Emma Samms. I adore Emma. She’s a wonderful person and a nifty actress, so when she shows up on a show, I usually …
St. Bear’s Dolls Hospital
St. Bear’s Dolls Hospital is a kid’s show and I first saw it while baby sitting for a relative. It is basically what the name states. It is a hospital for broken toys to come to and get repaired. They seem to have some toys that are regulars on …
CSI Miami TV Series
I love watching this TV series both on TV and online. I love watching crime movies because it is such of interest to find out how a crime is committed, what is going on in a criminal’s mind, and the consequences of the action afterwards. Watching CSI series piqued …

Running in Heels
My wife and I were bored yesterday and wound up watching television. After surfing through some channels, we ended up with the show “Running in Heels.” It was OK but nothing special.
The show basically is a behind-the-scenes look at the fashion magazine industry with us getting an introduction to …

Anime (Animation) : Kids On The Slope
The animation is wonderful, the story is lively, and when those two main characters start playing jazz I just can’t help but close my eyes and smile. The anime Sakamichi no Apollon (also known as Kids on the Slope in English) truly is a masterpiece. I am a big …
M*A*S*H: Smilin’ Jack
M*A*S*H: Smilin’ Jack is a symbol of the insanity of war in my opinion. It’s also an example of the human condition where we all need to be remembered for something, even if it’s something as ridiculous as a war record. Smilin’ Jack is a helicopter pilot …
Star Trek: The Alternative Factor TV Show
What makes Star Trek: The Alternative Factor memorable to me is the guest star appearance of Robert Brown as Lazarus. Brown is a very good actor. I first became aware of him on Here Come the Brides where he played Jason Bolt, and now I’ve seen numerous …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Fountain of Youth
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Fountain of Youth gives John Bly haters a chance to smile. Or does it? That’s a question that we’ll have to wait and see, but the fun part is watching Bly be foiled, right when he thinks he’s about to get …

The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Ralph Nader TV Show
Ralph Nader was all over television back in his heyday, promoting consumer awareness and advocacy. It makes him a decent selection as the honoree as the Man of the Week on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour because he’s easy to make fun of and with.
Unfortunately, I really didn’t …

The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 17: End Game

Rugrats (animated series)
“Rugrats” was one of those animated series that I loved watching when I was much younger. I understand that it premiered in the early nineties, but I only started watching it on the cable television channel Nickelodeon in the late nineties. The series was interesting because of the unique …

Hammertime (Reality Show)
I was a little leery of watching MC Hammer’s new reality show. It seems that every rapper or washed up celebrity is trying to keep their career going by inviting cameras into their personal lives. I will admit that I enjoyed one or two of his …
American Idol - 3/31 and elimination 4/1
This week on American Idol, it was iIunes night, in a way. The singers had to perform a tune that was a popular download on iTunes. It could be any genre; it just had to fit whatever the producers definition of ‘popular’ was. Some of the …
Power Marketing : Upright Citizens Brigade
Power Marketing is probably one of the best remembered of the Upright Citizens Brigade episodes. There is, after all, a lot of memorable stuff in this one (including the whole pennies thing). My favorite part of the episode is actually the Power Marketing sketch, for which the …

CHiPs: CHP-BMX has some extra added drama to it when Sergeant Getraer (Robert Pine) has a family crisis. After a bike race, his young son is hit by a car and is taken to the hospital in serious condition. What amazes me is that Getraer goes to …
House: Big Baby
Come on now, did we honestly think Cameron would step into Cuddy’s job and be an instant success at it? The second that was even suggested last week I had to laugh. Since when can any woman on the show House say no to him? Especially one that owes …
