M*A*S*H: Nurse Doctor
M*A*S*H: Nurse Doctor has an interesting plot which is intriguing for a couple of different reasons.
First, Alexandra Stoddart guest starred as Lt. Gail Harris, a nurse stationed at the 4077th for the last part of her Army duty. She’s headstrong and thinks just about everyone is against her …
Sea Hunt: The Defector TV Show
The 16th episode of the fourth season of the underwater series Sea Hunt was called The Defector, and it’s actually one of the spy type ones I like. Normally, the mission and espionage type of outings aren’t my favorites, and there are way too many of them on …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Force of Habit TV Show

South Park: The Coon
South Park has gone to great lengths lately to write satire pieces on current events and trends. This episode, entitled “The Coon”, follows Cartman dressing as a Batman like superhero, probably as a means of capitalizing on the success of the latest Batman movies. While not a completely awful …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: The Lady and the Tiger
I just love Jack the one-eyed dog. He’s played by Leo, and this dog is phenomenal. He has character and must have been very well trained. He actually is now in the opening credits of the series. That started pretty early in the series. …

Stargate SG-1: Meridian
Stargate SG-1: Meridian is a show that changed the course of the series, and it’s one that frankly, I don’t watch. I saw it the first time and a couple of times after, and I’ve seen scattered scenes here and there, but otherwise, I refuse to watch it …

Stargate SG-1: Tangent
Stargate SG-1: Tangent is a very nice entry in season four of SG-1. It again divides the team up, but they are all focused on the same goal, and it’s full of angst and drama.
Jack and Teal’c are testing the new X-301 interceptor, which combines both American and …
Grey’s Anatomy TV Show
I can tell that this is going to become one of my favourite TV shows. I was doubtful at first, wondering just what was the point of another hospital drama (and to tell you the truth, I’m not a big fan of hospital drama), but this one is different. …
X-Men season 3, episode 6: The Phoenix Saga part 4: The StarJammers
The Phoenix brings the X-Men to the Shi’ar ship with the M’Kraan crystal.

Seven days Season 2 Episode 3
Although I generally find a tone of illogical things in this show this episode managed to make me forget about anything else except what was going on in it. That’s really a great thing because I’ve seen about 25 episodes of this show and I found them all more …

Bones: Harbingers in a Fountain
I didn’t get to watch the entire Bones season premiere last night because I was busy with a few other things at the time (thanks to my wife turning a simple cleaning project into a complicated redecoration of our living room). What I did see of it, however, did …
Macross Plus Episode 2 (Anime)
Macross Plus Episode 2 begins with Sharron Apple’s concert and Isamu attends. His rivalry with Guld Goa Bowman increases as Guld grows closer to Myung Fang Lone.

Bravo’s The Better Half
Bravo has been my favorite television channel since the first season of Project Runway. This great channel has given us shows like Project Runway where contestants try to become the best fashion designer or The Top Chef, where contestants vie for the coveted title of Top Chef. The shows …
The Andy Griffith Show: Cousin Virgil TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Cousin Virgil from season two just isn’t a show I’m that fond of. In fact, it’s one of a few episodes from the entire series that I will actually turn off. It just doesn’t work for me, and I simply don’t enjoy much …
Cupcake Wars: Good Cause Cupcakes TV Show
The usual three rounds, beginning with the taste challenge where the four contestants had to choose various colored ingredients to blend together in 45 minutes to create a delicious cupcake, were part of this latest episode of Cupcake Wars labeled Good Cause Cupcakes. The title comes from the …
Crossroads with Pat Benatar and Martina McBride TV Show

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 …
Due South: A Cop, a Mountie, and a Baby
Due South: A Cop, a Mountie, and a Baby was a fairly entertaining show, though like the two shows that preceded it, there was an awful lot of music. I don’t know if the writers for this show were having issues or what, but some of these …
Medium: Means and Ends TV Show
Medium: Means and Ends was not a favorite outing for this series. It seems to me that this year has been very hit and miss. The show was barely renewed for this season, and I fear this could very well be the last if things don’t pick …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Silver Convoy
While the story of Have Gun - Will Travel: Silver Convoy does very little for me, this entry from season one has some attraction because of its guest stars, specifically two of them — Nico Minardos and Barbara Luna.
Minardos has played the jovial, playboy-like Mexican in numerous TV shows …
Invisibleman season 2 episode 17 Exposed
I like the show Invisibleman because it is about a man who can turn invisible, and who wouldn’t like to be able to turn invisible sometimes, imagine what you could do when invisible. Darien Fawkes works for an agency and they are trying to find a way to get …

MacGyver: Flame’s End
Season one of MacGyver continues on with an episode called Flame’s End which featured Tannis Montgomery as Amy Austin. The actress had a short career and according to the IMDB, this was actually her last performance. Watching it again now, I kept wondering why she looked so …
Highway Patrol: Art Robbery TV Show

Fringe Season 4 Episode 2 TV show
After Peter was wiped out of existence at the end of the last season the show has been changed completely. It seems that everything else has been wiped from the existence as well: the high stakes and the action scenes, the mystery and the adventure, any kind of meaningful …
Sea Hunt: The Sound of Nothing TV Show
Sea Hunt’s third season continued with episode 35 which was called The Sound of Nothing, airing in September 1960. This was another show that focused on the commonalities of space and the ocean. Sea Hunt referred to these similarities quite a bit in earlier shows, but it’s …
The Simpsons: The Parent Rap
Last night was probably the third time I’ve seen the Simpson’s episode “The Parent Rap” and it is funnier each and every time.
The episode is essentially a spoof of our legal system and judges who spend their time thinking up creative punishments to get in the news than actually …
The Office: The Surplus
“The Surprus” is an episode of The Office originally airing on NBC on December 4, 2008. This was a rather bland episode but it did have some subtle funny moments sprinkled throughout from a variety of characters.
Oscar was very funny in the opening explaining to Michael, “like he …
Friends Episode: Phoebe and Ursula Buffay
Remember Friends Episode: Phoebe and Ursula Buffay? Yes, these are twins and it is quite a unique idea for the writers to cast Phoebe having an ‘evil’ twin sister which is acted out by the same Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) and the dialogs are really spot-on, witty and really irritatingly …
Diego: Animal Rescuer
When Nick Jr. first came out with Diego: Animal Rescuer, my first thought was; well, they have Dora and obviously need something for the boys to watch.
But, as I found out, the show isn’t just meant for young boys. My daughter loves it as well.
Diego is a young child …
Monk - The TV series
I like watching comedy TV shows but they have to be interesting as well. I don’t like vulgar comedy or that which is developed from some one’s mistakes and mishaps. A comedy show can also be intelligent.
There have been many such comedy series - one of …
Scooby Doo Christmas
I finally had a chance to sit down and watch Scooby Doo Christmas with my daughter last night (it was on TV the other night but it was a school night so I taped it for her). It turned out to be a halfway decent TV special.
Basically, Scooby and …

The Simpsons: Apocalypse Cow
Well, that was a somewhat funny episode of The Simpsons last night; Apocalypse Cow. At least we finally got to get a better understanding of Cletus and his redneck family in this one.
Bart joins 4-H and ends up raising a calf to adulthood and even wins an award for …
The Incredible Mr. Limpet Introduction by Don Knotts

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Angie Dickinson TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast roasted the Woman of the Hour, Angie Dickinson, in this show taped in front of an audience in Las Vegas. Dickinson had one of the better dais groupings of the show. She looked beautiful, of course. She truly has been a …
Psych: Spellingg Bee
I’m inside today with a sick child and sick wife so I’m having a marathon of sorts by watching old Psych episodes. This included the season 1 episode “Spellingg Bee.”
This was a good episode for a couple reasons. First, I like how they introduce Lassiter’s new partner by having …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Day of the Dark Knigh
The episode opens with Batman on Oa. He and Kilowog have brought in a new prisoner. Guy looks to see that it’s a cute little alien. He, in typical Guy fashion, goads the little creature before pouring some water on him. As it turns out, this …
Spongebob Square Pants Series
I admit that I watch cartoons and to be honest I’m a bit choosy when I watch because I only want to tune in to a good and humorous cartoons and I hate a show that is full of nonsense. While my sister is watching television I watched with …
Inspector Gadget (TV Show) - The Amazon (Episode)
“The Amazon” is an episode that’s from the “Inspector Gadget” television series. This is sort of a special episode as it features the man that installed the gadgets that Inspector Gadget now utilizes, Professor Von Slickstein. Dr. Claw kidnaps the scientist and hauls him off to the Amazon Jungle …
