The Simpson’s: The Monkey Suit
I ended up getting a chance to watch a re-run of the Simpsons after work last night and it happened to be an episode that I have never seen in its entirety; The Monkey Suit. It was an OK episode but I have to say, it was also a …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Return of the Phantom TV Show
Talk about ending the second season on a high note, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea concluded its year with this 26th episode, The Return of the Phantom. This brought back Alfred Ryder as the marvelous Krueger, who first was seen about midway through the year in …

Star Trek: A Taste of Armageddon TV Show
Star Trek: A Taste of Armageddon is an interesting episode that tackles the futility of war and becoming complacent with the costs of war. The Enterprise visits a world where war is coldly conducted by computer. As shocking as it seems, when a hit is made and …
CHiPs: Disaster Squad
Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox are back in action with CHiPs: Disaster Squad from the show’s second season. The thread that loops all the pieces together in this show is a cute little boy named Christian Zika. He is a little reminiscent of Robbie Rist, the sort …
Family Guy
Family Guy is an animated television show about a family which includes a talking dog and genius baby, who is trying to take over the world.
The show centers around patriarch, Peter Griffin, a less-than-perfect dad, similar to that of Homer Simpson, but slightly more crude. His wife, Lois, is …
Diagnosis Murder: The Bela Lugosi Blues TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: The Bela Lugosi Blues should have been a show that aired in the month of October instead of in January, which it did in 1995, which was about midway through the medical and police drama’s second season. The title alone suggests that it’s an eerie outing, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Twins TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Twins was one of those stories where you could suspect the outcome but not really know for sure until the end. It’s a plot that could have gone many different ways. The tale begins in San Francisco at the Hotel Carlton …
The Fall Guy: The Japanese Connection TV Show
I’m not sure, but I think The Fall Guy: The Japanese Connection would have been better called The Hawaiian Connection. This is the show starring Lee Majors, who plays a stunt man named Colt Seavers whose side job is working as a bounty hunter. Most episodes start …

Dora the Explorer
This children’s television series is a godsend to parents everywhere. It is a time when you can have a hot drink in peace because the children will be glued to the television. At the same time it is very educational so you do not have …
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 …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Descent, Part Two
The only reason I prefer Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Descent”, Part Two over part one is mainly because part two has more action. The story still makes very little sense, but at least there is some action to the story. The action I am referring to takes …
CSI New York Season 8 Episode 1
Out of all the seasons and all the episodes of CSI New York, season 8 episode 1 was the least enjoyable. Actually it was really painful and boring to watch. I think that they had a good idea, but it could have been done much better.
This year it is …
Rock Docs (”NWA”)
When I saw the title of this show on VH1, I was really surprised because I thought it was about something completely different. But nevertheless, it was a special completely dedicated to gangster rap in Los Angeles. The feature was about NWA and their impact on America …
Married With Children
Every Monday through Friday night at 9pm and Saturday’s at 7pm on the CW I get the chance to watch Married with Children. It used to come on at 10:30 and 11 pm at night which meant that if I had a long day I was likely to fall …
Fame: Expose
I always remember Fame: Expose fairly well, mainly because it guest starred Brian Patrick Clark, best known both for Eight is Enough and General Hospital. He’s always fun to watch, whether he’s a good guy or a villain, and he plays both with equal expertise. He has …
Teen Mom (MTV)
There was a time when teenaged girls were scolded for getting themselves “in trouble.” But for some reason now, people think it’s ok to showcase these young girls. Young black women have been raising kids at an early age for many years. There has always been …
Miranda Episode One
This new sitcom, starring and written by central star Miranda Hart, promises itself as something of a throwback to the classic 70s sitcom, the type where crude but allowable jokes were plenty and cardboard cutout characters were commonplace.
While this show is only starting out, things don’t look good. …
Law and Order SVU: “Uncivilized” Episode
I think this was one of my favourite episodes of Law and Order SVU for season one because it had a twist that I did not see coming at all. A part from that, I thought everything else was good. The acting as usual was great, the dialogue was …
CSI: New York: Point of View TV Show
I’ve always wanted to like CSI: New York because Gary Sinese is such a talented, dynamic actor. I actually do like, but I’ve never been hooked into it. I watched it more the first season when Sinese’s character was more in mourning over his wife, who had …

Nighty Night - Series 2
Julia Davis might have outraged, insulted and appalled with the first series of her critically acclaimed comedy “Nighty Night”, but with its second outing, she pushes the boundaries even further. Although, not always for the better.
The second series picks up sometime after the close of the first. Jill …
Beast Wars - The Low Road
Beast Wars - The Low Road is the most comical episode of the entire series! There are many moments here that are just laugh-out loud hilarious. In this episode, Rhinox is infected with a Predicon virus that will kill him if the Maximals cannot locate the antidote within a …
Pysch Pilot
One of my Christmas presents this year was the first season of the show Psych (my wife bought it for me but I picked it out). Because of that, I was finally able to watch the series pilot again; something I saw a long time ago but it hasn’t …
Sea Hunt: Sacred Pool TV Show
Sea Hunt is a show that has a lot of both hits and misses for me. In the case of Sacred Pool, the 17th program of the third season to air, it’s a bit of a miss. After all, this show is an underwater adventure series. …
Rome - HBO Series
I mentioned before that it feels like I’m out of good TV Shows to watch. Maybe it’s because it’s summer or because all the series I like came to their closing episode (see Lost). This means I’ve been looking for other stuff to watch and what I’m doing is …
Here Come the Brides: The Deadly Trade
Here Come the Brides: The Deadly Trade is the final episode of the first season and quite honestly, I’m not really crazy about it. It’s just a little darker than I like, and there is an animal bit that has always disturbed me.
The danger of logging is finally …

Here Come the Brides: A Kiss for Just So has Jason Bolt hiring some Amish workers to help cut down some trees. In the process, he falls for Dena, who essentially is the female leader of the group. Jason is played by Robert Brown, who is very …
Twenty-four (24) Television Series
I really loved this action show that starred Keifer Sutherland who played the role of Jack Bauer. He is a member of the counter terrorism unit in Los Angeles. I have been watching this TV series ever since it started playing on air. The show is action packed and …
Due South: Mojo Rising
Due South: Mojo Rising was big on voodoo, and those shows aren’t my favorites to watch, regardless of the show. I’m not sure what the fascination is with this type of show, but sooner or later, it seems like every dramatic show on the air does some show …
Private Eye: Nickey the Rose
Ed Marinaro had the title guest starring role in 1987’s Private Eye: Nickey the Rose. He’s a mobster type of guy from circa 1956, living high and with a high profile lady on his arm. That would be Rita Marlowe, as played by Susan Blakely. She’s a …
M*A*S*H: Sons and Bowlers
M*A*S*H: Sons and Bowlers from the tenth season has both good comedy and good drama within its thirty minutes. The humorous part deals with Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Potter) sulking after the 4077th lost a softball game to the Marines. He just never wins against the Marine …
CSI Season 10 Episode 1
I stopped watching CSI for a long time, although I had always been an avid fan. It was just that I had not much chance to watch TV with all the writing I was doing. So I guess I felt lucky to have been able to catch this …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trial TV Show
Robert F. Simon guest stars as Morgan Gibbs in Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trial, a season three entry for this half-hour, black and white western. Gibbs hires Paladin (Richard Boone) to bring his outlaw son in alive. In an interesting twist, Gibbs actually wants his …
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Earthquake TV Show
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Earthquake deals with an earthquake that wasn’t and JJ Powell’s refusal to be honest with his parents about his powers.
This latter plot I’m sick of and have been for the last couple of shows. This character is turning me off because I just …
Bones: Fire in the Ice
Wow, two new episodes of Bones in a row and both aren’t half bad.
While not as good as the first one, which involved a murder at a circus, the episode “Fire in the Ice” still managed to be interesting.
You have a fireman who played hockey against Booth who is …

Lindsay Lohan on Ellen
One thing is for sure after I watched Lindsay Lohan on Ellen. She can’t sing. But she tried her best and I give her full marks for that. Her voice is kind of alright, and more suited for school dances and entertaining school proms. But I …

MTV’s Parental Control
This reality show from MTV is original in the sense that the parents get to chose who their children date, note that the sexual orientation of the child doesn’t matter as I have seen both straight and gay dates appear on this show, bearing in mind that most of …
