I really like the television show arrested development. The show is now in its 3rd season and each season has been absolutly hilarious. the story of the show is that a father gets sent to prison, and his son is trying to take care of his family while his …

Kenja no Ai (aka A Saga Love, 4-episode Japanese TV Series)
When I saw the trailer on the movie channel, I was immediately captured by its dark and mesmerizing plot. So I didn’t wait till the weekends for it to be aired on the movie channel but when online to watch it instead.
This is one of the most interesting and captivating …
Shaq’s Big Challenge
Shaq’s Big Challenge is the best inspiration I have ever seen for kids. Overweight and extremely introverted, I wish Shaq witnessed the growing rate of obesity when I was in school. Maybe I wouldn’t have had to spend my time finding the right clothes to cover up …
Star Trek: The Mark of Gideon TV Show
Star Trek: The Mark of Gideon is a show with another message and this time the topic is population control. We have Kirk beaming down to the planet Gideon and finding himself still aboard the Enterprise, only no one else is around; that is, until he finds …
DC Cupcakes: Greek Festival TV Show
DC Cupcakes: Greek Festival is the third episode of a new series on The Learning Channel, a channel I’d pretty much stopped watching considering their insistence on stuffing the Gosselins down America’s throat. However, I’m liking this show. Here are some highlights from my point of view.
–Sophie …
South Park
I have always enjoyed the cartoon called South Park. This show is just funny. I really like all the characters. I like the funny music in the show as well as the sound effects. I think the story lines in south park are really dumb. But I also think that …

“Marathon Men” is an episode of “The Jeffersons” that features George and Tom preparing for a many mile race that is being held in about a week after George and Tom get into an argument over who can beat who in a race. I didn’t really find the plot …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 11: The Original Wives Club
I find From the Earth to the Moon - Part 11: The Original Wives Club to be perhaps the most poignant of the 12 episodes that make up this 1998 mini-series which aired on HBO. This is the story of the wives of the original nine astronauts selected …
ASPCA (television commercial)
I am such a dog lover. So when I saw this ASPCA commercial, I was immediately struck in the heart. The music however, is what I think people will notice right away. The song comes on delicate piano and the sweetest female voice …
The Twilight Zone: What’s in the Box TV Show
The Twilight Zone: What’s in the Box is a crazy thirty minutes focused on the evils of television, or maybe it’s just focused on an evil television. Sterling Holloway, whose unique voice makes him a unique performer, guest stars as a TV repairman who performs some special alterations …
Highway Patrol: Convicted Innocent TV Show
From Highway Patrol’s third season, Convicted Innocent was the 11th show to air and it did so in December 1957. Broderick Crawford starred as Chief Dan Mathews, the head of the California Highway Patrol. In this show, we also were able to see three different patrolmen, all …
Green Acres - Hawaiian Honeymoon
Green Acres - Hawaiian Honeymoon is the second to last episode of the series, although the writers were not aware of this at the time. Had they been, I do not think that they would have used this script. This episode is more about creating a spin-off series with …
Sea Hunt: Quicksand TV Show
The 21st episode of Sea Hunt’s fourth and final year on television was caused Quicksand. It opens with Mike Nelson diving with a hard hat diver who suddenly disappears. Nelson looks everywhere, but can’t find him. All he can find is a broken air hose.
Lloyd Bridges …
Alex Haley Queen Mini Series
Alex Haley’s Queen was my first exposure to any of Alex Haley’s work. The mini-series appeared on television in the early 90s, and even though Halle Berry had been a working actress prior to landing the leading role in the mini-series, I think it was her first breakout role …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Showdown
Brisco and Lord Bowler go to Brisco’s hometown where Brisco ends up becoming the temporary sheriff in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Showdown. This show was somewhat nice, giving us another glimpse into the past of the colorful Brisco. There were some definite highlights that make …

In 1998’s From the Earth to the Moon - Part 1: Can We Do This?, Russians beat the Americans into space, rushing the United States to get a man in space in short order. Freedom 7 puts America on the space map and makes Alan Shepard a hero. …
Shaw Digital Cable Service
We’ve been using Shaw Digital Cable service for a bout a year now, and we just switched to Telus, for several reasons.
We were unhappy with Shaw for quite some time, but the company we rent from doesn’t allow sattelite, so that left us with no options for cable service …
The Twilight Zone: I Dream of Genie TV Show
The Twilight Zone: I Dream of Genie isn’t the first show that this science fiction series has done about the proverbial genie in a bottle. In this case, a rather timid man is coaxed into buying an old lamp. Yes, naturally, the so-called antique has a genie …
Due South: Dead Guy Running
Quite honestly, Due South: Dead Guy Running didn’t capture and maintain my interest very much. The story dealt with the past case of the real Ray Vecchio, a case in which he almost lost his badge. When one of the guys from that situation shows up and …
Sherlock BBC TV Three Part Drama Series
I just love it when there is something great to watch on a Sunday night as the thought of having to go back to work the next day can be pretty depressing. Last Sunday I happened to catch the beginning of a new three-part series on BBC1 at …
Celebrity Apprentice - 3/22/09
I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again. What the heck is Dennis Rodman doing on Celebrity Apprentice? If I didn’t know before that the man is a self-absorbed idiot, I do now. His confrontation with Clint Black was childish; except it was also dangerous. …
The Virginian: The Man from the Sea
In The Virginian: The Man from the Sea, Shirley Knight and Carol Lynley play twin sisters, Susan and Judith Morrow, respectively, who are visiting with Judge Henry Garth. Knight and Lynley aren’t related, but they way they were made up, they really did look like twins. Bravo …
Whoopi: Pilot TV Show
Back in 2003, Whoopi Goldberg starred in a TV show for the NBC network. It was, naturally, a situation comedy. Now I’m not all that fond of modern sitcoms because the humor is too provocative for my tastes. I wanted to watch this, though, because I …
M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry
Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …
Smallville Season 7 episode 9
This episode of Smallville like most of them started out on a light hearted note that went sour. It’s Christmas and instead of celebrating the gang are trying to stop a bomb that’s strapped to Chloe exploding.
For me some parts of this episode were boring. Lois is …
Eric from the Howard Stern Show
Eric the evil midget is a daily call in guest of the Howard Stern show, on Sirius satelite radio. Eric is a hilariously funny wack packer. No Eric is not really all that funny, but his interaction with Howard stern, Robin Quivers and Artie Lang is hilariously funny.
Eric is …
The Andy Griffith Show: The County Nurse TV Show
It’s been a while since Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) has had a romance, so the producers figured that at this point in the second season, it was time to stir things up a little bit. Thus, in March 1962, they presented viewers with The Andy Griffith Show: …
Scrubs TV Show
Scrubs is a TV comedy about a group of hospital employee’s that is shown on NBC Thursday nights at 9 eastern time. It’s quite different than most shows about hospitals, in that it shows you the perspective of how each person sees the events of the day, as if …
MacGyver: The Endangered
It’s another animal story, and that means I’m closing my eyes. This was the year of the message show for MacGyver with numerous shows dealing with environmental and animal welfare issues. I wouldn’t mind them except that I can’t stand to see or hear even a hint …
The X-Files Lazarus Episode
This is another one of what I think was one of my 30 favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties American television series “The X-Files”. This is because deals with the whole belief of out of body experiences and whether or not the human body possesses a soul. In …
M*A*S*H: Hey, Doc
M*A*S*H: Hey, Doc is best remembered for the closing segments of the show which for me is the one real reason for staying tuned to this half-hour program. Not every show can be stellar all the way through, and this one has a couple of little gaps in …
Glee TV series
I love Glee! I have always loved watching musicals and when something like this came out, I immediately saw to it that I watch the first TV show they aired.
I have been watching it ever since and has really enjoyed watching the Glee cast being introduced to the public. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Predators TV Show
The eighth show of the sixth and final season of Have Gun - Will Travel was called The Predators. Produced by Robert Sparks, we once again forego any San Francisco scene. This horrible decision must be Sparks’. I lament the lack of the opening lighthearted teaser …
That 70s Show: We Will Rock You
Wow, I sure missed a lot on That 70s Show when I stopped watching it after Eric and Kelso left. The episode “We Will Rock You” proves that.
I knew there were new characters on the show and other characters have obviously gotten older. But, since when does Jackie love …
Diagnosis Murder: An Innocent Murder TV Show
There’s good news and bad news about Diagnosis Murder. The good news was that it was back for another year. An Innocent Murder is the first episode of the show’s third season. Now depending on your preferences, some of the bad news might be deemed good …
Runs House
My cousin told me about this television show on mtv, that I should watch it. As soon as I started watching it I liked it. I like how they show the family all together. How they show how they have problems but yet stick as a family and work …
Lifetime Movie Network
From time to time I will watch the channel Lifetime Movie Network. Sometimes they have really good movies on. Especially if you hardly ever watch the channel. The things I don’t like about the channel is that they have a lot of different movies about the same thing. It …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Doing Time
In this episode, Spoongebob gets into a lot of trouble when he is taking his driving exam and practically wrecks all of Bikini Bottom because he really doesn’t know how to drive. When Mrs. Puff is found guilty of not properly teaching him, she is thrown into jail. The …
The Twilight Zone: In His Image TV Show
The Twilight Zone: In His Image is just one of those weird outings for this series that I just have to accept. It’s not shown that often I don’t think because it’s not as fresh in my mind as most episodes of The Twilight Zone are. I’ve …
Angel Television Show
I started watching this show a few months ago and I absolutely love it. It comes on very early in the morning (around 5:00 a.m. on TNT) so usually I try to check it out whenever I am awake. The premise of the show is very simple. …
Mr. Monk and the Paper Boy
I had never seen the Monk episode Mr. Monk and the Paper Boy before and I have to admit, after seeing it finally, I absolutely loved it. It was one of the best Monk episodes ever made.
Monk has his paper boy killed on his doorstep and the newspapers are …
Family Guy: 8×07: Jerome is the New Black
Another good episode from Family Guy, this time focusing on the void left by recently departed Cleveland. A situation we’ve been waiting for a while to see rectified.
After some funny enough attempts to fill the gap, the gang finally settle on black guy “Jerome”, an old flame of …
The Andy Griffith Show: Guest of Honor TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Guest of Honor isn’t one of my favorites. I love this series greatly, but even when funny, not every show is one that I adore. This second season entry has Mayberry celebrating Founders’ Day by randomly selecting a passerby to be their Guest …
Private Practice Season 3 Episode 16
This episode was a little strange for me but still enjoyable.
After all that drama with Maya she has disappeared. Also Dell was nowhere to be seen, and I missed seeing Dell.
I don’t like the Addison and Pete relationship, I was actually quite happy when the writers decided to …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 12: The Serpent’s Pass
After Aang’s latest trip into the Avatar state, he becomes worried about the lack of control and decides to abandon all emotion. It starts off rather subtle, but becomes more obvious as the episode progresses, until he flat out explains the reasons for his detachment.
Katara is naturally …
Jeremiah: Things Left Unsaid: Part 1
The first season of Jeremiah heads to its conclusion with a two part episode in which the action begins with Jeremiah (Luke Perry) realizing that someone ripped out a page from Simon’s journal. Simon is the person who told him about Thunder Mountain, and he and partner, Kurdy …
Everybody Loves Raymond: The Sneeze
Wow, that was one of the funniest episodes of any series I have ever watched. I haven’t watched the show Everybody Loves Raymond all that much but the episode that was on “The Sneeze” was absolutely hilarious.
Basically, Raymond is at an airport and someone sneezes on him (which, in …
