Have Gun - Will Travel: The Campaign of Billy Banjo TV Show
I’m not sure what to think about Have Gun - Will Travel: The Campaign of Billy Banjo which just never really captured my attention. It sounded like it should be entertaining, but I wasn’t. I found myself losing interest and drifting and then having to re-watch scenes. …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Sally is a Girl (Episode)
“Sally is a Girl” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. In this episode, Laura rather harshly criticizes Rob and Buddy for treating Sally like “one of the fellas” in front of her newest prospective boyfriend and asserts that Sally herself has lost some of her lady-like …
Emergency!: Hang-Up
Emergency!: Hang-Up is the second to last episode of the first season of this medical drama, and it has a couple of really intriguing elements to it.
Here’s the really odd thing about this episode. In the pilot movie of Emergency!, Officers Pete Malloy and Jim Reed (Martin Milner …
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 …
Prithviraj Chauhan (TV show)
I really want to know how many of you guys out there watch ‘Prithviraj Chauhan’? Well, I do. It is in fact, the only tv show which I have watched without missing out a single episode. How’s that for a record, huh? The story has been written skillfuly with …
Palmolive Natural Commercial
Palmolive Natural Intensive Conditioner’s TV commercial is not really realistic. Though I would believe that they made a formula that might actually make the hair softer and it “might” last up to 48 hours, the commercial ads they made was really far from reality. This is a very clear …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 20
In this episode, Dr. Murdoch finds out that Drew has been seeing Sherry after he told him not to and he gets expelled from the academy.
Dr. Murdoch is furious when he tells Drew that Sherry came to him and told him everything that was going on between her and …
Vampire Diaries show
Vampires seem to be all the rage these days. Starting with Twilight, there was this major trend toward literature, TV shows, and movies all about vampires. Stephanie Meyer started a crazy fad that has strangely held strong for awhile now. True Blood was HBO’s attempt to market the vampire …
Hawaii Five-O - The First Season DVD set
The first season of Hawaii Five-O is offered in slim pack cases, with two disks in each jacket, except for the last one. That’s a total of seven disks. Now I have some concerns about these slim packs because there are some that can actually damage DVDs …
Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light
Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light is another good entry for this puppeteering TV show. There’s some action going on here, especially with Fireball XL5 having engine problems. There’s a bit where the ship goes incredibly fast, actually going faster than light speed. Seeing this on screen is …
Shark Week: Shark Attack Survivors
This program in the hugely popular Shark Week series on Discovery features the stories of those who were attacked by sharks and survived. It uses interviews with the lucky survivors as well as reenactments to tell their stories.
I have always been afraid of sharks, and despite the interviews …
Make Me a Super Model (Episode 2)
commented before that, while Make me a Super Model offered a few differences, it was pretty much the same show as other modeling shows that have been on television.
Further proof of this was offered in last night’s episode (number 2 overall). Like America’s Top Model, the models all …
The King of Queens
To be honest, I never watched “The King of Queens” before they started showing syndicated episodes of it in the afternoons on one of local television stations. Since that time, however, my day is not complete unless I see this show. Everybody in the cast is talented …
The Twilight Zone: Two TV Show
The third season of The Twilight Zone is a two-person show. For some reason, Rod Serling liked these introspective shows for the season premiers, and I’m not sure why. Season one focused on Earl Holliman’s character being in a town by himself, and season two had Robert …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy versus Dracula
I finally got around to watching the 5th season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer today; starting with the first episode, Buffy versus Dracula.
It wasn’t a bad episode but not quite as good as I expected it to be.
As you can guess by the title, Buffy gets to face the …

Cowboy Beboop Episode 15 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 15 has Jet, Faye, and Spike going after a con man named Whitney Hagas Matsumoto, a man Faye knew and we learn about her past.
This was a great episode because it gave Faye Valentine a back-story and revealed more about her, and why she has a …
Smallville: Bride
“Bride” is the episode of Smallville originally airing on November 20, 2008 on the CW. It was the best episode of the year, easily! Now we must wait for almost two months before the next new episodes air in January.
“Bride” was great from beginning to end. …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Johnny Carson
Johnny Carson is the Man of the Week on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour, a special version of Dean’s variety show. It begins with a terrific zinger by Dean about Johnny’s marriages. What a great way to start out.

Smallville: Bulletproof
If the first seasons of Smallvill were how Clark Kent became Superman then even though he hasn’t put on the tights and cape this season could be called how Superman created the Justice League. He’s still growing and there are things he has to learn, but there is more …
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 …
The Office TV Show
A few years ago, NBC’s The Office was the best show on the air. Quick, clever, and hilarious, this was a pleasure to tune into each and every week. The excitement of the tension between Pam and Jim, the awkwardness that Michael is sure to cause, and Dwight’s disturbing …
Adam 12 - Log 91
This episode of Adam-12 is one of the more intense ones. It guest stars Richard Van Vleet, best known for All My Children actually, as a friend of Jim’s (Kent McCord) who also went through the Academy went him. The friend ends up shot and killed in …
The Virginian: The Mountain of the Sun
The Virginian: The Mountain of the Sun combines incredible courage and a love story. It combines for an average tale for this western TV series. I’m really not that crazy about this episode. This is a 90-minute show and this story is an hour one, so …
Torchwood
My husband began watching Torchwood reruns on the internet awhile back. I am not really into sci-fi television, but I do like this show. It is about a special ops team that deals with aliens and alien artifacts. They also deal with a rift that allows things from the …

The challenge is also the prize. Usually, a couple has …
Wagon Train: The Gus Morgan Story
Wagon Train: The Gus Morgan Story is not one of my favorites. It really never appealed to me. It bores me, to be honest. Peter Falk is the main star, playing Gus Morgan. Also appearing is Tommy Sands as Gus’ brother, Ethan Morgan. The …
Star Trek: Errand of Mercy TV Show
In some ways, Star Trek: Errand of Mercy reminds me of an episode of Stargate SG-1 called The Nox. While the Organians of Star Trek don’t have the odd look of the Nox from SG-1, these stories are essentially the same. It makes me wonder if SG-1 did …
Big Brother - August 1, 2010 TV Show
Big Brother sometimes drives me batty. I’m nowhere near as hooked as I was during its first season. In fact, I’m not hooked at all anymore. I can barely even remember the contestants’ names. Were there anything else opposite it, I wouldn’t watch, and when …
Comcast Cable
I have been a customer of Comcast Cable off and on for roughly the last 7 years or so, dependent upon what deals they are currently offering. In the past, I have had no real complaints with the service other than the fact that their rates tended to …

Stargate SG1: There But For The Grace Of God
This was the first of many alternate reality shows that Stargate SG1 would do. It is also one of my favorite episodes from Season One. Maybe it’s because this episode is Daniel-centric or maybe it’s because it was very well written and fun to watch.
Daniel and the …
Seven days Season 3 Episode 16 Empty Quiver
If you ever wondered how it would be if you could relive your last 7 days again, this show is just the right one for you. Frank Parker, the main character, does it all the time, he travels back in time to save the world.

That Girl: I Didn’t Have the Vegas Notion Part 2
That Girl: I Didn’t Have the Vegas Notion Part 2 continues the action begun the week before in Part 1, picking up with the shocker of a last scene. It’s a largely predictable story to anyone who has been around the block with movies and TV shows, but …
Ghost Whisperer: Dead Eye TV Show
The latest episode of Ghost Whisperer was a show called Dead Eye, which seems like a good title since when I look at the show’s star, it’s hard not to focus on her eyes, and that’s not really a good thing, and here’s why,.
The one thing about Jennifer Garner …
M*A*S*H: Some 38th Parallels
This episode, M*A*S*H: Some 38th Parallels, has a few storylines going on. The most poignant story surrounds Gary Burghoff’s character of clerk Radar O’Reilly. In this show, Radar notices that an IV has become detached on an injured patient and finds himself bonding with the serviceman as …

What’s New Scooby Doo
I used to watch Scooby Doo a lot when I was a kid. And, recently, my daughter discovered it for herself.
The newer episodes, labeled “What’s New Scooby Doo” are definitely a nice continuation of the series. You have all the same major characters; however, they’ve been modernized and the …
Gilmore Girls tv show
This is was one of my favourite tv shows, it had 7 seasons and I was really disappointed when it actually ended last spring.
The show was about a woman Lorelai Gilmore who got pregnant when she was 16 and ran away from home because her mother was one of …

Alias Smith and Jones: Return to Devil’s Hole
Alias Smith and Jones: Return to Devil’s Hole continues the pattern in this first season of separating the two stars of this comical western series. They are together only at the beginning and at the end. As I’ve said before, that’s not a pattern I enjoy or …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 5: World War Three
This episode picks up where “Aliens in London” left off, with the nefarious Slitheen enacting their plot that puts the whole world in danger.
I have to say, seeing the Doctor overpower the Slitheen weapon while pointing out that what’s lethal to humans isn’t lethal to him was …
