The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Black Ferris TV Show
As respects the August 10, 1990 airing of The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Black Ferris, I’m going to start by saying that I went nuts trying to figure out where I’d seen the main young boy in this story. His real name, Zachary Bennett, was familiar but I …
The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 2 TV Show

Stargate: Infinity: Coming Home TV Show
I really like the opening part of Stargate: Infinity: Coming Home which deals with the age old problem of prejudice. One of the members of Major Bonner’s team is named Ec’co. He’s a green, rather unusual alien being. However, he’s also a half breed. His …

Sesame Street (children’s program)
The television show “Sesame Street” has been on the air for years. I remember watching it when I was younger, and now that I run a day car and have kids here all the time, they love to watch it as well. Sesame Street has changed a …
Joey Tribbiani
As much as you would like to knock Joey Tribbiani on the head most of the time, you can’t help feeling a bit of love for him. He is the struggling actor in the hit series sitcom Friends, which is not in the making anymore. Such a pity, …

Laramie: Dark Verdict
When I watch Laramie: Dark Verdict, I can’t help but think about actor L.Q. Jones, who plays a friend of Jess Harper’s. At one point, his character is about to be hung. The reason I remember this is because I have some photo proofs that were taken …

The Sony BRAVIA 32 inch LCD TV is a flat panel wide screen LCD HDTV. It is a thin, silver unit with a small base that swivels, oh yea and it is as cool as it sounds. The resolution of the TV is 1024×768 which is pretty basic, but …

The Twilight Zone: The Big Tall Wish TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Big Tall Wish is not a favorite episode. For one thing, it moves too slow and for another I just don’t like shows that deal with boxers. In this case, it’s Ivan Dixon appearing as an over the hill boxer who has a …
Beauty and the Geek Season 5 Episode 5
This episode of Beauty and the Geek was quite interesting. It definitely caught my attention.
It starts off with Leticia and Matt coming back up to the room where the others were waiting to find out who won the last elimination round. Everyone seemed pretty angry about it, as they …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 7
G Cowboy Bebop Episode 7 has the crew of the Bebop go after a man named Decker. Spike meets a trucker named V.T. and she helps them go after Becker.
The voice acting for Cowboy Bebop is top notch with great voice actors and actresses. This …
Stargate SG-1: Enemy Mine
Stargate SG-1: Enemy Mine is another super entry from season seven. I do have a couple of quibbles, though, one of which is that all of Richard Dean Anderson’s scenes are in the first twenty minutes. They really needed one more at the end and that stands …
Days of Our Lives
I’ve been watching Days of Our Lives for years. Since I was a kid actually since daytime programming isn’t very child friendly. So after all these years of watching Days of Our lives I have to say I hate this show.
The actors are terrible. As with …
Two And A Half Men: Pinocchio’s Mouth
“Pinocchio’s Mouth” is the episode of Two And A Half Men on CBS originally airing on November 17, 2008. This was just an average episode with no really big laughs.
The overall premise was not all that funny. Basically, we know that Charlie is set in his ways. …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Battle Aboard the St. Anne (Episode)

Law & Order SVU: Annihilated
OK, the SVU episode “Annihilated” had to be one of the most twisted, sick and sad episodes I’ve seen. Seriously, how can someone do something like that to their family?

House: Acceptance
House is the perfect character to draw out the personality in others that is what makes the show House so interesting. As a medical drama it is ok, but not really any better than the others, and as a mystery show it doesn’t work because unless you’ve went to …
My Super Sweet 16 (MTV program)
This is the most decadent show on the air. The parents who allow their children to have these extravagant birthday parties is simply ridiculous. I can understand that turning 16 is a magical thing, because you are that much closer to adulthood. Sixteen is the age …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Goodbye Iowa
Well, Professor Walsh certainly didn’t last very long on this show. One episode after trying to kill Buffy, she herself is stabbed to death in the episode “Goodbye Iowa.”

‘Say Yes to the Dress’ on TLC
Since I am getting married in a year I am addicted to watching any kind of wedding show on TV. Lately I love ‘Say Yes to the Dress’, even though it appears to be on reruns. I like seeing it from the point of view of the sales people …
The Fall Guy: The Human Torch TV Show
One thing about The Fall Guy, it has an old school opening that you just don’t see much anymore. The full theme plus standard intro in this first season lasts almost three minutes. In this era of 10 second, title only spots, this feels like forever. …
Becoming Human- A 3 part series from NOVA
Ever since its arrival, NOVA has been home to some interesting shows. Their educational 1-hour documentaries often intrigue thousands and thousands of viewers. Recently, I watched “Becoming Human-A 3 part series” for my Biology class. As I sat at the computer for three whole hours I felt myself starting …

Burn Notice: Breaking and Entering
Burn Notice: Breaking and Entering is the first episode of the second season, and it’s the conclusion of a sort of cliffhanger, meaning there’s a lot of history that a new viewer such as myself needs to pick up on in terms of knowing the story.
One of the things …
Seinfeld
Seinfeld was always one of my favorite TV shows growing up. Even to this day I can watch this show over and over and never get bored of it. I think Seinfeld is a true comedy classic. Seinfeld has classic characters that we will remember forever like Kramer. And this …

Frosty the Snowman
It’s almost Christmas and there are plenty of Christmas specials on the air right now. Last night, one of the TV stations aired the half hour long special Frosty the Snowman and we decided to let our daughter watch it.
I have seen that special a couple different times but …
That Girl: The Seventh Time Around
This episode of That Girl called The Seventh Time Around has a couple of things I like about it, but overall is in my average category. What’s nice about it, though, is just that it’s someone going after Don instead of Ann, thereby showing that both parts of …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter is written by Gene Roddenberry in his pre-Star Trek days. I have to give the show credit here, too, because it brought back characters regularly for follow ups; at least, that’s what has been happening in the first …
Columbo: The Complete First Season DVD

The negative point …
Let’s Make a Deal Television Show
One of my favorite things that I used to love doing was watching the old television game shows on the Game Show Network. I loved watching everything from “Card Sharks” to “What’s My Line.” For me, the shows that come on today do not compare. They …
One Tree Hill
I have been watching One Tree Hill since it first started in 2003. I had just had my first child and was 20 years old. I started watching because I liked the storyline of all the different highschool situations. I could find a character that reminded me of each …
The Beast: The Complete First Season DVD Set
The Beast: The Complete First Season DVD Set contains three disks in slim packs, 2 in the first and one in the other. There is a ‘play all’ option for the episodes, which I consider to be crucial. Each of the first two disks has four episodes …
Stargate Universe: Air Part 1
My interest in the Stargate Program is pretty much confined to the first eight years of Stargate SG-1. I did not like Stargate Atlantis and its affect on SG-1, and I suppose for much of the same reasons, I haven’t been interested in Stargate Universe, either. However, …
Bones TV Episode: The Mummy in the Maze
Well, that was a somewhat cool re-run of the show Bones last night; The Mummy in the Maze.

Ghost Hunters: Judgment Day
I only got a chance to watch bits and pieces of last night’s Ghost Hunters episode “Judgment Day” because I was putting my daughter to bed around that time. But, what I saw of it was definitely interesting.
Too often lately, the episodes have depended on EVPs for their evidence …
Royal Pains
I honestly believed that the absolute last thing this world needed was another doctor show. I have honestly always found doctor shows boring due to the fact that they are entirely set within hospitals which just do not provide an aesthetically pleasing view of scenery. I can’t stand watching …
The Biggest Loser
I am addicted to The Biggest Loser like just about everyone else I know. I think it’s a fine game show. However, I have one criticism. I hate when they lose so big in the first week and later weeks they act so disappointed that they *only* lose like …
