Encantadia
Encantadia is a fantasy tv series. It is all about four sisters who are in the kingdom named Encantadia. The inhabitants of this place are called Encantados. They are not humans but instead they are somewhat like fairies but only the royal blooded ones are the ones who possess …
The Dog Whisperer
The Dog Whisperer is in its fourth season on National Geographic TV and if you have any interest in pets, it is a must see. To think that someone can communicate with animals and correct their behavior is just amazing. I feel sorry for many of the animals …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - Shell of a Man
It is right before Mr. Krabs naval reunion, and he ends up molting out of his shell. He is really nervous because these are all the tough naval buddies he is going to see from a long time ago and he doesn’t know how he is going to face …
Family Guy the TV show
The Family guy is one of the funniest cartoons out there and probably ever will be and the show is set in a town in Rhode Island and the humor of this show is horrible but in a good and very funny way. I like the characters Peter, Stewie …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Datalore
This first season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Datalore” is an episode that I enjoy watching, but it is also an episode that is weakened by writing that is a bit too convenient and wobbly in my opinion. The episode definitely suffers from some faults that …
Scream Queens
I absolutely have no idea how in the world this reality TV show made it onto the air. I know that you can basically make a reality show out of anything these days. But this one is so corny that I had to laugh whenever I happened …
Mine Your Own Business
I’m still watching Scooby Doo Where Are You episodes with my daughter and got to see one I honestly haven’t ever seen before “Mine Your Own Business.”
This one turned out to be halfway decent. The gang is driving someplace (I didn’t catch where when they said it) and, because …
Ghost Hunters: Toys of Terror
I watched another season three episode of Ghost Hunters over the weekend and have to say it was entertaining.
In “Toys of Terror” the TAPS team is asked to investigate a house by a woman who is terrified of the things she has seen and heard there. What’s interesting about …
That 70s Show: Baby Fever
We were waiting for the Simpsons to come on last night and ended up watching a re-run of That 70s Show; the one entitled Baby Fever.
This was actually a cute episode. Kitty and Red agree to watch one of their friend’s baby (even though they end up dumping the …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Ella West
Have Gun - Will Travel: Ella West starts a little differently with Paladin (Richard Boone) arriving in Abilene, so we don’t get the normal San Francisco beginning. Variety is good, though, so it’s nice to get a shake up in the opening scene. That doesn’t necessarily mean …
Kuya
I use to watch Jerry Springer show that’s why this morning show captured my attention. The program is entitled Good Morning Kuya and the format - just the format, not the content - is somehow parallel. The first scene that I was able to see was the host, …
Laramie: Queen of Diamonds
Laramie: Queen of Diamonds is a marvelous first show for the second season of this western that I adore greatly. One of the things that make it special is the guest star, Julie London. Decades later, London co-starred with Laramie star Robert Fuller in Emergency! While …
Stargate SG1: Thor’s Hammer
Daniel is very excited about going on this mission and meeting Thor’s people. He believes they are a viking people who are protected by Thor’s Hammer, an electronic weapon of some kind that works against the Goauld. Teal’c adds that all Jaffa had been warned about going …
MacGyver: The Road Not Taken
I suppose season two just isn’t as fun for me as season one of MacGyver was. This is another show that just doesn’t quite tickle my fancy as some others do. It’s plenty watchable, with good moments, but it’s another old flame returning, and not just for …
Da Vincis Demons (tv series)
During the year I found a few series I started watching, but most of them were discovered by way of the internet. I actually found out about this one when it began advertising on the cable television channel, Starz, a little before the series Spartacus was set to have …
Highway Patrol: Fear TV Show
Fear was the 25th episode to air during Highway Patrol’s third of four seasons on television. The story is about a family man with a secret past. It’s a bit complex, though, as he’s not really on the up and up. It’s difficult to feel bad …
On The Run- The Elusive Mr. Wee
This is a brilliant episode of the show On The Run. It tells a story of a Malaysian man who had robbed people of millions of dollars across continents for years. Although his identity was known and he was wanted and chased after in several countries, his instintcts have …
To Boldly Go … Season One featurette
To Boldly Go … Season One featurette focuses just on the first season Star Trek, talking about various episodes and how it fit into TV in the day. It includes comments by Leonard Nimoy, Robert Justman, and William Shatner. They’re all interesting, as they take into account …
Hunter: No Good Deed Ever Goes Unpunished TV show
Fred Dryer starred in Hunter, a show I watched occasionally when it was first run on television. This episode, No Good Deed Ever Goes Unpunished, was from season 5 and guest starred Louise Latham and John Anderson.
It begins with Dee Dee McCall (Stephanie Kramer) showing up late for …
MacGyver: Silent World
MacGyver: Silent World centers on a deaf woman named Carrie who is a friend of MacGyver’s and is having a lot of nasty nightmares that seem to end the way, in Mac being hit by a car and dying. The same footage is used repeatedly in the first …
Chasing Mummies: Sunken TV Show
The Sunken episode of this supposed documentary called Chasing Mummies continues some of the action from the week before with Zahi Hawass investigating a possible burial site of Cleopatra while Leslie and the producer are having a hard time getting where they need to go.
The main goal of the …
Smallville TV show
My wife and I have become addicted to Smallville, which is entering its 8th season on air this coming fall, airing on CW. Smallville follows the adventures of a young Clark Kent in Smallville, Kansas. The stories are not ‘official’ adventures, and have no connection to the …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 17 - Lost and Found
There’s lots going on in Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 17 - Lost and Found, beginning with Leslie Mallory’s Russian boyfriend being taken against his will. Alexi had some neat competitive scenes early on with Richard Dean Anderson’s Simon Adams, but since those early shows, most of his time …
Friends sitcom
Although this show is no longer on the air with new episodes, it is often on with reruns, and the DVDs are readily available at most major retailers, so it is easy to get your hands on them.
We love this show. When there is nothing on televsion, we often …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Outlaw
There are a couple of notable things to say about Have Gun - Will Travel: The Outlaw, episode 2 of season 1. Whereas in the first episode, the show ended with the familiar and catchy Paladin theme song, the situation at the end of The Outlaw was such …
Dog Whisperer TV series
I am assuming that by now a lot of people have seen the American television series “Dog Whisperer”. The first time I saw it was when it when it was on National Geographic one day and I decided to watch it to see what it was about. Nevertheless, even …
TV Show: Late Show with David Letterman
Synopsis: Late night talk show starring comedian David Letterman as the host; mixing comedy with musical performances and interviews with special guests.
What I liked about this show: I used to watch this show religiously when I was younger but haven’t watched it in a long time. In fact, the …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Downwind from Gettysburg TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Downwind from Gettysburg starts out reminding me of the living Mr. Lincoln exhibit from Disneyland. I’ve seen that marvelous show numerous times over the years, and it’s marvelous the way Disney created a Lincoln who could stand and talk to the visitors.
In Downwind from …
Trigun Episode 14
Trigun Episode 14 begins with Vash the Stampede in a town called Promontory, Meryl and Milly decide to protect an elderly couple who own a geoplant where grass and trees grow on the desert planet of Gunsmoke.
This had to be the weirdest episode in the series so far, as …
Naruto Episode 11 Subbed
Following in episode ten’s footsteps episode eleven has absolutely no action, but unlike the previous episode this one had little to offer, although for a first time viewer it might be an enjoyable insight. This episode is basically just one large flashback showing the history of the Country of …
Dr. Scholl’s inserts (TV commercial)
Guess what happens to America’s Next Top Model contestants when they lose? They either fall back into their previous lives with a touch of notoriety—or they get cast in Dr. Scholl’s commercials like YaYa DaCosta. This young lady who irritated the bejeezus out of her housemates …

The Two Coreys: Episode 1.8 - Fly Away Haim
In the finale of the first season, Haim makes Joanne (wow, she’s back!) breakfast and screws up the kitchen in the process. What a lovely surprise this is for Susie and Feldman when they discover it that way. However, looks like the breakfast was all for nothing as Joanne …

Sam Waterston
It amazes me how Sam Waterston of Law & Order regular show can play the District Attorney Jack McCoy so well but what is even more amazing is that he plays the same character in Law &Order Criminal Intent and Law & Order Special Victims Unit. Just to …
Ghost Hunters: The Stone Lion Inn
Hmm, I watched my final disk in the Ghost Hunters Season 2 DVD collection I’ve been renting yesterday and have to say the one, The Stone Lion Inn, was a bit on the dull side.
The first case was, of course, the Inn, which was supposed to be very haunted. …
American Idol
Oh no, I see ads for American Idol on TV again. Well, I guess it’s time to start renting more than one movie at a time from Netflix again.
Up until season 4 of the show, I was a regular viewer. But, after Carrie Underwood beat Bo Bice for the …
The Thorn Birds TV Mini Series
I can never forget The Thorn Birds TV Series, growing up in college, it was one spectacle that I relished following and watching with my mom. No doubt, there were some melodramatic moments, such as when protagonist Meggie Cleary’s delivers her line, which goes “What have I …
Super Mario World - Born To Ride
Super Mario World - “Born To Ride” is an episode that focuses primarily on Yoshi. The writers have been placing plenty of emphasis on the character, with this being his third episode of heavy focus out of a total of seven, probably because at the time, Yoshi was a …

Dancing with the Stars - 10-26-09
After a shocking elimination last week, the stars were back to perform tonight. The shows this year have definitely been entertaining and this one was as well. Their star-studded audiences are prevalent weekly. This week, not only was LaToya Jackson there, but Katherine Jackson, as well.
Leading …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Punishment Without Crime TV Show
Okay, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Punishment Without Crime is another one of those weird stories that I need to watch three or four times to really get it, but I don’t want to. Once was plenty.
Ray Bradbury is certainly a talented and gifted science fiction author, but he’s …
Supergirl TV Season 1, Episode 10: Childish Things
“Childish Things” was a good start for a Winn-centric story which the writers gave this week. I hope a few more will happen in the future too. It has been a worry of mine watching other cast members relegated to the side lines in order to expand the “big three” …
High School Musical 3 ( Senior Year )
I was amazed with the first High School musical when I saw it on the disney channel. I grooved with the song “We’re all in this together”. There I was interested. I was also entertained with Ashley Tisdale’s snob attitude. Her bitchy styles was totally hilarious. So, when the …
