Psych (tv series)
I started watching the television series “Psych” as soon as it premiered on the cable television channel USA. I had seen the trailers for it, and I thought that the plot made it seem like it would be very comical. When I started watching it, I found out that …

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 …

Christmas is coming up soon, and its time once again for Christmas specials. I noticed that this year the Trailer Park Boys is going to be releasing their Christmas Special on DVD.

Justice League Unlimited Season One: Panic In The Sky
“Panic In The Sky” is the 24th episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. By this episode, the plot has really hit the breaking point, as six of the “original seven” Justice Leaguers turn themselves in to federal custody, leaving the rest of the team to fight off …
MacGyver: Blow Out
MacGyver: Blow Out has some really nice segments and some which bore me, too. The opening is great. MacGyver is fighting a cold so he makes a run to the grocery store and promptly encounters a robbery. This segment is great with him, along with a …
Nancy Grace
Nancy Grace is a former prosecutor now hosting her own show on the Headline News channel, a sister channel of CNN.
I used to watch her show, which airs nightly, but I have not been watching it as much lately. I find that once she gets onto a story, all …

Diagnosis Murder: The 13 Million Dollar Man TV Show
The music that opened up the fifth episode of Diagnosis Murder, an episode called The 13 Million Dollar Man was very entertaining. It actually made me laugh in that it was an upbeat coy number, very playful in a mysterious sort of way. It was cool. …

Season four of The Andy Griffith Show continued with Hot Rod Otis on February 17, 1964. The basic premise of the half hour program has Andy and Barney worried when town drunk Otis Campbell (played beautifully by Hal Smith) buys a car.

Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 5
Having just discovered Confessions of a Teen Idol on VH-1 yesterday during a re-airing of its fourth episode, today I tuned in for the latest showing, Episode 5.
The standout for me here was Jaime Walters, of Beverly Hills 90210 fame (I mistakenly stated he was on Baywatch in my …
Entourage show
I watched a couple of shows, until I finally realized I don’t much like it. In fact, I don’t understand all the hype about this show. It’s shallow, the cast are like two bit actors who’ve never heard of acting workshops, and the storyline isn’t at all fantastic.
This show …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Return
The Return is the seventh episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. This is pretty good episode featuring dozens of the Justice Leaguers, including many we rarely see, uniting against a threat of unimaginable power. After six episodes focusing on smaller groups of heroes, it was nice to …

The King Of Queens stars Kevin James, Leah Remini, and Jerry Stiller. This is one of my favorite comedy shows and I eagerly look forward to each episode.
The opening comical skits are always funny and set the tone for the rest of the show. The …
Just Shoot Me
Just Shoot Me is a pretty cool TV show. I think she show can be funny at times but boring at the same time. I think he has some really good actors in the show. For example David Spade is really good in the show. His acting is always really …
The Real Ghostbusters episode 23: The Old College Spirit
This is another episode where I could see what the writers were going for, but the execution was lacking. It opens with a fraternity being framed by ghosts for various pranks. They decide to hire the Ghostbusters to take care of it. Venkman’s against it initially, …
Gargoyles Episode 2.3 Legion
This episode marks the return of Coldstone, once again voiced by Michael Dorn. Anything that has the voicework of Dorn and Keith David can’t be bad.
This show has been of stellar quality from the get go and this episode is no different. The buildup to Coldstone’s schizophrenic breakdown …
Paternity
OK, I�ll admit, I only tuned in this week because the car crash promo had me interested. Who gets seriously hurt; Olivia or Elliott�s pregnant wife?
Overall though, I thought this episode was weak at best. You had a debate about whether a child should know if his father isn�t …
As The World Turns TV Show
I used to watch all of the CBS soaps everyday. Now that my life has gotten a lot busier I have focused on just watching As The World Turns. As The World Turns is a great soap for younger people in their late teens and early twenties and has …

MacGyver: Blood Brothers
MacGyver: Blood Brothers is the episode that explains why MacGyver doesn’t like and refuses to use guns. Recently, I read the impetus behind this story. Apparently, as a youngster, series star Richard Dean Anderson shot at a bird and killed it. He wasn’t intending for that …
Simpsons - That Birdie In the Window
This was one of those Simpsons episodes that I just say, were they really so out of ideas that they must have just looked out a window and saw a bird and that’s where the idea of the episode came from. Even if the whole idea of using a …

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 …

Mr. Monk and the Other Brother
It’s been so long since there’s been a new episode of the show Monk on, I almost forgot about it tonight and nearly missed it. But, while not as good as older episodes of Monk, I will say Mr. Monk and the Other Brother turned out to be worth …
Ice Road Truckers: New King of the Dalton TV Show
The season finale of Ice Road Truckers was called New King of the Dalton, which gives away part of the story from the beginning. Obviously, the laid back veteran Jack Jessee wasn’t going to be the king of the road again with this episode moniker.
A good part of …
MacGyver: A Prisoner of Conscience
Season one of MacGyver rolls on with A Prisoner of Conscience, another episode with some kind of Russian focus. I guess it was a sign of the 80’s — lots of Russian types of stories. Dana Elcar is again in the show as Pete Thornton, and …
Adam 12 - Log 51
“Let’s be happy in our work, Reed.”
That’s the sub-plot them of the Log 51 episode of “Adam-12. It’s a funny episode to watch, with Reed and Malloy just having no luck getting a call that will let them earn their pay for the shift. It’s a carry …
Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs
While I appreciate USA Network trying to put a football theme behind it’s more popular shows this weekend in honor of the Super Bowl, I’m not sure the Monk episode “Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs” is really all that good.
I’m not sure what exactly the problem was but I …
Burn Notice: Do No Harm
There is just something cool about Burn Notice. It’s hard to pin down. Bruce Campbell helps of course and seeing him have a bit more serious role in this episode was fun, but it’s more than that. It’s the entire style, from the voice overs which explain …
Scrubs TV Episode: My First Kill
Well, that wasn’t the funniest episode of Scrubs I’ve seen since I started watching the show again, but My First Kill turned out to be an OK episode.

Rock of Love Charm School TV Series

Law and Order Criminal Intent
“Law and Order: Criminal Intent” can be seen as the sibling to “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit”. This is because while “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” deals with sexually based crimes; “Law and Order: Criminal Intent” mostly deals with other crimes such as murder. I don’t …
Star Trek: I, Mudd TV Show
Roger C. Carmel returns as the colorful Harry Mudd in this second season episode, Star Trek: I, Mudd. I prefer this one over his first appearance. It’s full of fun, right from the start when McCoy and Spock banter in the corridor. Those were the good …
