Friends - The TV Serial
Friends TV series started in 1994 and finally ended in 2004. It is one of the most popular TV shows of it’s time and many like me were sorry to see it end. There have been many reviews but I wanted to write this review as a tribute to …
M*A*S*H: Letters
M*A*S*H: Letters is a wonderful episode from season nine. It’s a slow time at the 4077th, so the kids from Hawkeye Pierce’s (Alan Alda) home town of Crapapple Cove, send letters for the personnel to answer. Hawkeye hands them out with the regulars are getting multiples to …
Here Come the Brides: Wives for Wakando
Here Come the Brides: Wives for Wakando from Season 1 is one of the few I’m not all that crazy about. It’s good, but it just doesn’t quite make me smile as most of the other episodes do. In Wives for Wakando, Wakando and his band of …
Nova: Lizard Kings: on the trail of the monitor lizards
The episode of nova called Lizard Kings: on the Trail of the monitor lizards, is a very interesting documentary. The show follows the adventures of a lizard expert, and his team, as they trap, study, catch and release lizards in the Red Sands desert in Australia. Apparently this desert …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 4
In the depressed state of mind, not even the tallest of the surreal mountains can bury your strife, even as we write it into our own essence of our corrupted soul. This is the tale of an fallen sky, where one boy will try to run out on all …
Seven days Season 2 episode 4
Among all the Seven days episodes that I have seen I must admit that this one is one of the better ones. It’s about humanity and impossibility to do what you think is the right thing to do.The beginning looks like the cheap scary movie beginnings, rain, thunder, graveyard, …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Battle Aboard the St. Anne (Episode)
“Battle Aboard the St. Anne” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series and it is the first part of a three episode story arc. This episode is an entertaining one for a number of reasons. First of all, this is the first time that the Team Rocket organization …
TMZ
TMZ is a show that tells you updated news about celebrities and famous people. The people that talk on it just stand around and show you videos and pictures and talk about the updated news with celebrities or famous people. It’s an alright show overall, I think that they …
The Virginian: The Exiles
The problem with The Virginian, as I’ve said before, is that it bores me more often than not. I couldn’t watch it as a kid because none of the characters captured my heart or imagination. This episode, The Exiles, exemplifies those feelings. It’s a show towards …
Full Metal Alchemist
Full Metal Alchemist is a anime series that is one of the best shows I have seen. Don’t judge the series by its title, because when I first heard of it, I was wondering if it was good because of the title.
I have come to the conclusion that it …
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1, Episode 21
This is a fairly disturbing episode and one that tends to stick with me. Every time I see it, it sticks in my head for at least a day or two. It makes you think about people, and the lengths they go to just to continue making a few …
Judge Judy TV Show
Have you been the victim of a small crime, do you need to take someone to small claims court to get the money they owe you? Don’t just take them to small claims court, take them on Judge Judy. Judge Judy is court TV show where people who have …
M*A*S*H: The Novocaine Mutiny
This episode of the long running wartime comedy took place mostly as a flashback. In M*A*S*H: The Novocaine Mutiny, Frank Burns (Larry Linville) has once again brought Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) up on charges, this time for mutiny of all things. With a colonel present to reside …
Models of the Runway: Frenemies
So much for a modeling competition without major drama. This week’s episode starts out where last week’s ended; two models at each others throats because one overreacted when she lost her designer and another one over reacted when the first one got mad at her for not keeping her …
Trinity Blood episode 9
A betrayal from the past brings a nightmare upon the Vatican foreign affairs AX department. As the other former candidate for his most holy papacy returns to rome, does he bring gifts of poison guaranteeing the uttermost destruction? Or is this all a hellish dream by Lady Catherina, whom …
The Twilight Zone: The Invaders TV Show
I’m not big on silent movies, and that’s probably why I’m not a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Invaders and never have been. The only dialog in the entire episode is the spoken narration at the beginning and the end by host, Rod Serling, plus a …
Supernatural (television series)
One of my favourite shows of all times is “Supernatural”. I can honestly say that I can’t think of one bad thing to say about it; and it’s the only television series I know that seems to get better and better with time.
It is about two brothers; Sam …
Batman Beyond (tv series)
While I was not fortunate enough to possess the comics themselves, I grew up being interested in superheroes and looking forward to watching Batman on a Saturday morning as a child. He still is actually one of my favourite DC characters, who I’m a little sensitive about when it …
Star Trek: The Cage - Extended Version TV Show
The beginning of the Star Trek legacy was back in 1966 with a pilot produced by Gene Roddenberry called The Cage. No one could imagine that this would be the birth of a legendary show that would last well beyond Roddenberry’s lifetime. In the mid-eighties with the …
Make me a Super Model
Bravo Tv station ” Make me a Super Model” is a reality Tv show contest where the winner after so many weeks will receive a modeling contract with the top agencies in the business. There is eye candy from the start, as veterans Tyson Beckford and Nicki Taylor host …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Inspector TV Show
One of the final episodes of the first season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Inspector began with a classic scene of Barney playing checkers against himself. Now it’s a hoot, but haven’t we all done something like this before? I think that’s why it works so well. …
CHiPs: Dog Gone
I do get a kick out of this Dog Gone episode of CHiPs. Dog Gone is the third episode and as the title indicates, there’s a dog at the core of it all. It starts out with this adorable pooch wreaking havoc on the highway. Jon …
That Girl: That Meter Maid
Directed by Ted Bessell, That Girl: That Meter Maid continues the fourth season of this groundbreaking and liberating television comedy series. I’ve long remembered this episode. It was fun and cute. I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed that Bessell was the director. That made me …
Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives
Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives has become a popular travel show on Food Network, which is hosted by Guy Fieri. Guy travels around state to state (on recommendation of food places) in his candy apple red, 1967 SS Camaro convertible. I hate to see it, but sometimes the car is …
Beast Wars - The Web
Beast Wars - The Web is the third episode of the series and one that delivers character development to Tarantulas, Cheetor and Rattrap. The deranged and sinister nature of Tarantulas begins to shine for the first time in this episode, and the writers do a superb job of projecting …
That 70s Show: Celebration Day
Hey, another episode of That 70s Show that I haven’t seen before; Celebration Day.
I have seen plenty of episodes that took place after this one, but it is the first time I got to see the episode that pretty much changed the entire plot of the series.
Basically, you have …
Stargate SG-1: Seth
Stargate SG-1: Seth is another episode that some of the actors of the series thought was pretty bad. The whole premise seemed weak to them, the idea of a Goa’uld still living on Earth and having achieved nothing but a tiny cult like following seeming ludicrous. Still, …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Choices
While I normally like Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes, the episode entitled “Choices” was a bit weak compared to other season 3 episodes.
This one had some drama. You have Buffy wanting to go on to college and leave Sunnydale but, at the same time, knows she really doesn’t have …
The Mentalist - TV show
The first few times I saw this show, I didn’t really grasp the concept and couldn’t figure out why a police investigative team would have some random guy (who used to be a con artist) on their team. It just seemed like a stretch. Of course, I have been …
Emperor’s New School: Prisoner of Kuzcoban
OK, if you watch any of the Harry Potter movies or read the books, you’ll realize the Emperor’s New School episode “Prisoner of Kuzcoban” is based loosely on one of the series.
But, I think I liked this episode better than the Harry Potter movie.
This is a funny one because …
Supergirl TV Season 1 Episode 12: Bizarro
Recap: Kara must find out who’s the other supergirl while keeping her date life alive. Alex deals with Maxwell Lord to secure her family security the only way she knows how.
With the other supergirl making a splash across TV screens now known as Bizarro (thanks to Cat), team Supergirl …
Firefly: The Television series
Joss Whedon is one of those love him or hate him writers. I like him. I enjoyed Buffy and Angel, although I did find them to be a bit overpraised. Such is the case with a lot of things in geek culture.
One show in …
Highway Patrol: Insulin TV Show
Sometimes Highway Patrol episodes really entertain, and sometimes they bore. In the case of Season 3’s Insulin, which was the 17th episode to air that year, I was entertained; for the most part, anyway.
The police drama revolves around two men who show up at another man’s home. …
Adam-12: The Search
From October 1971, Adam-12: The Search is one of the very best episodes of the entire police series. It’s incredibly dramatic, emotional, and angst-ridden in all the very best ways.
In the show, Martin Milner’s Officer Pete Malloy is in a pursuit of a criminal when his vehicle crashes, …
TIVO
If you have never owned a TIVO system that believe me this is one thing that I love more then anything in the world. The Tivo system attaches to your TV and works much like a VCR which stays at the top of your TV. Essentially, the TIVO will …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 7
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 7 begins with Ed Elric receiving his State Alchemist pocket watch and returning to the Tucker Estate. Shou Tucker’s assessment is coming up and he has to produce new research or have his State certification as an alchemist revoked.
This is a very dark and …
Cult Classic Television Show: The X-Files by Chris Carter
When The X-Files first aired on television, my parents prevented me from watching, saying I was too young. This did not bode well with me, since my older brother was allowed to watch the show with my parents. Consequently, when my friend ordered Netflix a few months ago, I …
L.A. Law: One Rat, One Ranger TV Show
I was never a big fan of L.A. Law, though with reruns, I probably have seen most if not all of the entire series, but as I turned on One Rat, One Ranger to watch it for the first time in years, my initial thought was, “Wow, what a …
Millionaire Match Maker show
If you think you’ve seen all the love reality shows, you might have missed Millionaire Match Maker. Unlike all the other reality shows where people are “looking for love”, this one features primarily the world’s richest and most successful men. On occasion they may attempt to match …
Trigun Episode 2

There is a lot that has changed within the lives of the Mystic Falls folk in season 2 of the Vampire Diaries. In episode number seven “Masquerade” the town of Mystic Falls gather’s together to celebrate at the Lockwood’s estate, where Katherine makes an appearance, posing as Elena. Since …
Monk 100th episode
It’s hard to believe the fictional detective Adrian Monk has solved 100 cases. But, it was only fitting to celebrate that milestone on Monk’s 100th episode last night. And, I have to say it was one of the better episodes that’s been on in recent history.
The great thing about …
Highway Patrol: Killer on the Run TV Show
Highway Patrol aired for four seasons back in the early days of television. It’s a rather iconic series for those who love police shows. This episode was the 29th one to air in 1959 and is called Killer on the Run.
The plot follows a man named Les …
The Twilight Zone: The Parallel TV Show
From 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Parallel is an intriguing hour of entertainment. It’s a show I enjoy quite a bit. The story dabbles in the concept of parallel universes or alternate dimensions or alternate realities. There are fine lines that separate the differences of these, …
Frasier: Shrink Rap
I haven’t seen the show Frasier in a long while. But, I was a bit bored tonight and there wasn’t a whole lot else on TV so I tuned it in to the episode “Shrink Rap.”
The great thing about the show is the interaction between Frasier and his brother …
The X-Files Duane Barry Episode
This was the twenty ninth episode of the entire popular 1990s American television show “The X-Files”. It was also the fifth episode of the second season in the series. I think I would put this episode in my top thirty episodes of the entire series since I thought …
House: The Softer Side
OK, I know the show House has been going downhill a bit over the past couple seasons but last night’s episode “The Softer Side” was one of the few times I felt like I wasted an hour of my life watching it.
I’m not sure what’s worse, having a patient …
The Wright Show
‘The Wright Show’ is a live show every week day morning on Channel 5 and presented by ex-tabloid journalist, Matthew Wright. Every day there are different celebrities on the ‘panel’ and basically they discuss different hot topics of debate, from the frivolous to the serious, and make comments …
Code Monkeys
Code Monkeys is a light-hearted TV shown on the G4 channel that parodies video-gaming and nerd culture in general. I like the show because of its indecision as to what kind of humor it portrays. At one minute it will be making poop jokes and underarm farts, while at …
