TV Episode for Psych: Mr. Yin Presents
You know what? I really hate episodes that have a season finale and don’t reveal anything at the end. That’s why I ended up being seriously disappointed with the Psych episode Mr. Yin Presents that aired last week.
The plot itself wasn’t bad. It turns out Yang (who Shawn caught …

Desperate Housewives Episode: The Tornado
Desperate Housewives Episode: The Tornado is so scary and in fact, this is one of the best and most awesome episodes, which makes me shudder because out there, there might be real stuff like this happening and my heart is beating so fast and I almost cry. I really …

The Twilight Zone: Hocus-Pocus and Frisby TV Show
Sitting around, chatting, and listening to fanciful tall tales. That’s the delight and center of The Twilight Zone: Hocus-Pocus and Frisby from 1962. It’s a fun story that includes some harmless stories and some naive aliens, as in aliens from outer space.
Here are a few thoughts about …
Mod Squad: The Teeth of the Barracuda TV Show
Mod Squad: The Teeth of the Barracuda is the pilot to this classic police drama about three young undercover cops. The idea is that being young and hip, no one would think they were cops. All had been in trouble when asked to join the police force …
Dancing with the Stars: S11, TV Theme Week Results TV Show
The results show for the TV Theme Week edition of Dancing with the Stars’ 11th season opened tonight with an attempt to set up that possible upset that would keep viewers tuned in for the full hour. They did this by starting with the two lowest scoring couples …
Code Geass Episode 3 (Anime)
Code Geass Episode 3 begins with Lelouch confronting Clovis about his brother’s murder and killing him. Afterwards he investigates Kallen, the girl he saw the terrorists in Shinjuku.
This was a pretty good episode as it developed Kallen’s character and gave Lelouch a chance to use his powers more, …

Wagon Train: The Story of Cain
Wagon Train: The Story of Cain is one of a handful of stories that I remembered for years after seeing it. So many scenes from this episode were stamped into my brain. It was just so memorable that I couldn’t wait to see it again once this …
The King of Queens
I have always enjoyed The King of Queens TV show. It is one of the best TV shows ever made in my view. I think this show is very funny. Leah Remini does a great job of playing Carey in the show. She is very pretty and sexy. I …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 6

Patsy shows up with this wild, take charge attitude and is determined to take Merrill away back to her old life, which is unclear because it …
Babylon 5: Season 1, Episode 2: Midnight on the Firing Line
A Centauri colony is attacked and it is up to the crew of Babylon 5 to figure out who is responsible and avoiding another war.
This episode acted as a nice follow up to the pilot. While the first episode had a fairly heavy plot, this one did …
Saving Grace
Think “Touched by an Angel” and an even edgier “NYPD Blue” - and you’ve sort of got the idea. I’ve always been a Holly Hunter fan - so I was happy to see her in primetime (TNT).
I could have done without the …
Highway Patrol: Hostage Officer TV Show
The third season of the half hour police drama, Highway Patrol, continued on with its amazing 36th episode, entitled Hostage Officer. I do love the early days of television, in the fifties and sixties where TV seasons lasted this long, and even longer.
In the case of Hostage Officer from …
Highway Patrol: Plane Crash TV Show

Dora the Explorer: Rapido Tico
I ended up coming home yesterday to my daughter watching Dora the Explorer on TV (thank you Direct TV for all those kids’ channels). As I sat down relaxing, I ended up watching one episode with her “Rapido Tico.”
This episode was basically dedicated to their friend Tico the squirrel, …
Stargate SG-1: Off the Grid
In my last review for the episode called Ethon of Stargate SG-1, I mentioned that one of the reasons that shows in the final two seasons of the series were poor was because of the lack of attention to SG-1 as a result of the powers that be working …
True Blood 3.03 “It Hurts Me Too”
The title of the episode in this case proved to be prophetic - after two very strong episodes, the third one didn’t happen to be the charm, quite contrarily, slumped down and simply didn’t provide the high quality, high speed drama of its predecessors.
Jason’s subplot, usually boring but, at …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 2
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 2 is the strangest episode in the entire Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime, in both seasons, because it does not follow any of the main characters, it is not about any of them and doesn’t enhance the plot …
Dora the Explorer
Anyone who has kids (especially girls) is probably familiar with Dora the Explorer. And, it is definitely one of my daughter’s favorite programs.
When she first started watching Dora, I admit, I wasn�t that big of a fan of the show. The plots were a little too simplistic and very …
That Girl: Paper Hats and Everything
In the commentary for That Girl: Paper Hats and Everything , Marlo Thomas talks about the tenderness of this episode and how her father actually did always take her out on her birthday. It was very special to her. She actually got a little choked up talking …

Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere
Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere is one of 39 episodes of this supermarionation puppet series from Gerry Anderson. What I enjoy is that the puppets really do have some great personalities. They’re pretty well rounded, all things considered.
In this show, there’s a neat scene where Professor Matt Matic …
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 …
Americas Most Smartest Model
My wife absolutely loves modeling contests on television. I’m not sure what she enjoys about them, but whenever a new one comes on, you can be sure we’re going to be watching it.
I personally find the competitions boring. You have a bunch of ex-models or designers judging wannabes that …
“Snapped” (Oxygen crime show)
I didn’t realize there were so many women in the world who were willing to kill their husbands, boyfriends, and rivals in order to get what they want in the world. Some of the women featured on the show have killed abusive husbands and stepfathers. Others have …

Saturday Night Live

South Park: Fishsticks
You really gotta love when the guys who write South Park want to make fun of a celebrity. In this episode, entitled “Fishsticks”, is just one long joke on rapper Kanye West. The episodes revolves around a wordplay joke created by Jimmy and Cartman, and Kanye West losing his …
Project Runway reality show
The best reality television show is hosted by a super model. No,not Tyra Banks, although, America’s Next Top Model is right up there with the best. I am talking about Heid Klum. She hosts “Project Runway.”
It is a show about clothing designers that is broadcasted on the …
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 …
Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection
First of all, owning the Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a feel good, science fiction, and sentimental thing for me, so watching these shows again was really wonderful.

Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 16
Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 16 is a good episode, not to be missed. I watched it with a very curious interest and there are lots of character developments in this episode. I love the dinner scene whereby Orson and Bree and Tom and Lynette have dinner together …
M*A*S*H: The Nurses
M*A*S*H: The Nurses is a great episode, and it’s one I’ve always remembered from it’s original air date back in 1976. It’s extra hot in Korea, and tempers are short, especially between Major Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) and her nurses. Things escalate when Margaret finds her nurses …
The Simpsons TV Show
This show I would say is an okay show. It’s not the best but it’s not the worst show in the world either. It kind of reminds me of Family Guy, but Family Guy is better. But it sort of does the same thing. It makes fun of normal …
Toddlers and Tiaras TV Show “Fancy Faces”
I am not a pageant mom myself. I did enter a couple of pageants myself as a child, but I would never push my children into pageants if they did not want to do them. My kids are pretty much indifferent to pageants at this point so …
Memories of M*A*S*H
Hosted by Shelley Long, Memories of M*A*S*H from 1991 is a look back at this long running dramedy; that is, a situation comedy that was as much drama as it ever was comedy. The show lasted for 11 seasons before voluntarily leaving the airwaves, so there is a …
Psych TV Episode: Not So Close Encounters
