TV Reviews
Law and Order Special Victims Unit
I think “Law and Order Special Victims Unit” is one of the most popular shows being aired on American cable television now. It is aired on Jamaican local television as well, but I know it is a hit television series since I have spoken to people in many different …
Scavo Family - Desperate Housewives
Scavo Family - Desperate Housewives is one of the most coolest family ever that I love to watch and I have been following closely the series episodes since Tom and Lynette’s children were young. The twins and another of their boy since young. Lynette and Tom have been …
Laramie: The Killer Legend TV Show
Jess Harper (Robert Fuller) is acting as sheriff in Laramie as the action in this hour of Laramie begins. Entitled The Killer Legend, this is a very strong hour of programming and one that I just love to watch. Before the opening teaser ends, Jess finds himself …
Psych: Earth Wind and Wait for It
I missed the new episode of Monk on Friday night but did manage to catch the Psych episode “Earth Wind and Wait For It.”
While it wasn’t half bad, it also wasn’t the best I’ve seen.
This episode had Shawn and Gus investigating a series of arsons that revealed dead bodies. …
The Twilight Zone: Dust TV Show
When I saw this for the first time again recently, I didn’t remember it at all. The show in question is The Twilight Zone: Dust, and I say ‘again’, because I watched The Twilight Zone religiously as a kid, and in the decades of reruns, there isn’t a …
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened TV Show
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened is a flight of fancy in a sense in that it’s hard to tell what the reality is. Even at the end of the show, I’m not sure we know the reality. Was it that people and property …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I have been taking the time to review individual Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes as I have time to watch them and plan to continue doing that. But, I wanted to take a few minutes to talk about the cult series itself.
Back when I was in high school and …
Surviving the Cut: Ranger School TV Show
Surviving the Cut: Ranger School is often hard to watch. This show airs on the Discovery Channel, and it’s a really deep and sometimes difficult insight into the training that men go through to become part of the elite military training force. The show opens with 338 …
Stargate SG-1: Grace
Stargate SG-1: Grace could have been the show that changed Sam Carter for the better, bringing her out of her school girl crush days and returning her to the strength and glory she had in the vintage years. Instead, it’s just a show that was pivotal for a …
The Office: Moroccan Christmas
“Moroccan Christmas” is the episode of The Office airing on NBC on December 11, 2008. This episode was not nearly as entertaining as past Christmas episodes and was actually depressing as it focused on alcoholism and affairs.
The start of the show was the best part, with …
Adam-12: The Princess and the Pig
I have conflicting emotions over Adam-12: The Princess and the Pig, a season four episode from this half-hour police drama, courtesy of Jack Webb. The reason for the conflict is that Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) ends up going undercover. It’s just another sign of how he …
King of the Lost World
I have no idea why I decided to watch King of the Lost World on the Science Fiction channel last night, probably because there wasn’t much on. However, I have to say it was one of the stupidest movies I’ve ever seen.
When I watched King of the Lost World, …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Steel Horses
For me, the real star of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Steel Horses is Comet the wonder horse. I adore Comet in this show. There are some really good scenes with him in this episode.
The show deals with Brisco getting a look at the coming thing, …
House: Joy
I’m not so sure about the cases Dr. House has been getting on the show House lately; they just don’t seem to stand out any more. But, I have to say the episode “Joy” really got me thinking and left me a bit depressed.
We found out last week that …
MacGyver: The Battle of Tommy Giordano
MacGyver finds himself in the middle of a struggle between a divorcing couple who have an eight-year-old son named Tommy. We have continuity problems in this season four story. The opening voice over talks about Mac having known the mother, Mary (Penny Peyser), since he’d gone to …
Family Guy: Road to Rhode Island
While I’m somewhat of a Family Guy fan, some episodes of the show are a bit too lame and lack the funniness I look for in a television sitcom.
The episode Road to Rhode Island is one of those episodes.
The episode starts out with Brian feeling a sense of abandonment …
Star Trek: Plato’s Stepchildren TV Show
Star Trek: Plato’s Stepchildren has the Enterprise responding to a call for medical help on a planet with just a handful of inhabitants, though the residents are a couple thousand years old. The problem is that these people have become expert with their psychokinetic powers and bullies to …
M*A*S*H: Bug Out
Season 5 begins with M*A*S*H: Bug Out, a show that is full of rumors that the 4077th is bugging out due to an expected attack. At first, it’s believed that the news is nothing but exaggerations and rumors, but then the news comes that they will be bugging …
MacGyver: Friends
This show seems a little early, in that it would feel more appropriate as a fourth or fifth season show, but that said, it’s still a good episode. MacGyver: Friends is actually a clips show. Producing an action series like MacGyver is costly. All those explosions …
Columbo: A Deadly State of Mind TV Show
George Hamilton guest stars as Dr. Mark Collier in Columbo: A Deadly State of Mind. Hamilton appeared in another episode later that I prefer over this one, which is a okay, but not as good as the other one. This show is all about the power of …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Traitor TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Traitor from April 1965 was the 32nd show of the series and the last of the first year on the air. The show starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. This series has always …
The Santa in the Slush
Normally, when I watch an episode of Bones, I’m impressed with it. Last night was one of the exceptions.
Quite honestly, for an episode that received so much hype from Fox, you would think it would have been better.
First, let�s start off with the kiss that was supposed to be …
Criminal Minds
Criminal Minds has become my most favourite TV show ever. I have started watching it a few years ago and then quit. I think I wasn’t ready for it yet. It is a Drama / Thriller similar to many of the crime TV shows we see poping up lately. …
Bones TV Episode: Aliens in a Spaceship
As I mentioned in another review, my wife and I were watching re-runs of the show Bones this past weekend and finally got to watch one that we have seen references to from other episodes but never actually watched before; Aliens in a Spaceship.
This proved to be a very …
Royal Pains show
Royal Pains is a new show on the USA Network. It’s about a New York doctor that gets fired because he made a decision that ended up killing one of the trustees of the hospital. He ends up in the Hampton with his brother partying and trying to forget …
Golden Girls Season Five Boxed Set
If you buy this season, prepare to be confused. The show has never been great with continuity, but this season is even worse than others. One of the most glaring problems is Rose’s boyfriend Miles. Miles appears on the show when the couple first meet, and Rose falls in …
Moral Orel (Adult Swim)
I had rented some episodes of “The Boondocks”, a cartoon that comes on Adult Swim TV on Comedy Central. In seeing the previews for “Moral Orel” I was hooked. “Moral Orel” is a claymation television show that looks for all intents and purposes like a real …
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 …
Justice League - Only a Dream, Part Two
Justice League - “Only a Dream”, Part Two is an episode that succeeds in conveying a good deal of tension and fear while bringing to the surface the worst fears of the Justice League in the form of dreams that they cannot wake up from. Hawkgirl’s nightmare was particularly …
Everybody Loves Raymond
This show is, in my opinion, not as hilarious as many people seem to think. It is no longer airing new episodes, but you can often catch Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, and the dvds are available for purchase, so it’s easy to watch this show even though it ended …
Fox News Channel
Fox News Channel is an interesting phenomenon to watch, if anything. Famous for their slogan “Fair and Balanced,” they are anything but. Bias resonates through almost every word iterated by one of the Channel’s many columnists. The half-hour news reports are fairly standard fare, but the …
The New Scooby Doo Movies TV Episode: The Haunted Showboat
As I think I mentioned a little while ago, my daughter was watching older cartoons on TV this past weekend and I had an opportunity to watch some of them with her.
One of the ones that really stuck out in my head was an old re-run of the show …
NCIS TV series
NCIS is a show on CBS that—˜s a spin off of JAG. It’s one of those crime and forensic type show but it’s angle is military and naval related. NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. I have to admit that I really didn’t tune into this show until …
Dawson’s Creek
I’ve watched every season of Dawson’s Creek and although I can’t remember how many seasons there were I’m sure it was least seven. I loved the show from beginning to end.
Why?
Firstly it’s such a well written show that shows teenagers to have a depth of understanding most people …
Criminal Minds —“ Season Two —“ Episode Twenty Four —“ P911
Another pedophile case, only this one revolves around online pedophiles. Elle comes back from medical leave and its obvious she is still having issues. I mean who wouldn’t be. But she is on edge and its pretty bad, she disobeys Hotch’s orders and just goes around doing her own …
Ninja Warrior G4 TV
The Ninja Warrior competition takes place in Japan, where one hundred would-be ninjas (average, everyday people, in fact) arrive at Mt. Midoriyama to compete for the title. Japanese viewers have been tuning in to these taped specials for a decade now.
Here in the United States, we have a slightly-altered …
Comedy Central Roast of Rosanne
Over the years that I have watched the Comedy Central Roasts, I have liked some and disliked others. Most of the Roasts have not been very amusing with one or two funny comedians who graced the stage, while others are just down-right terrible. I did want to see the …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 6
The big part of this sixth episode of Emerald Point N.A.S. was the court-martial trial of Lt. Glenn Matthews (Andrew Stevens). It’s all about the lies of Hilary Mallory (Sela Ward) and how far another woman will go to save Glenn. John Rubinstein, who looks like a …
Star Trek the Next Generation TV Episode: The Most Toys
I didn’t intend on watching another episode of Star Trek the Next Generation last night because it was getting a bit late and I had some other things that needed to be done before bed. But, I ended up watching the first few minutes of the episode The Most …
Street Hawk: The Adjuster
The 1985 crime drama series, Street Hawk presents as its third episode, The Adjuster, a show which guest stars Marjoe Gortner. I’m not a fan of Gortner’s, to be honest. He’s a little too quirky and off-kilter for my tastes. I’ve always been surprised that his …
The Rachel Zoe Project: Changes in the Zoe Camp TV Show
The Rachel Zoe Project: Changes in the Zoe Camp was the season 3 premier for this cable reality show that follows the activities of stylist Rachel Zoe. For me, Zoe is too self-involved. She gets orgasmic over fur, Chenille, and almost any fashion designer who will let …
Psych: Earth, Wind and Wait for It
The problem with any mystery show is that they have to introduce new people every episode and one of them invariable has to be the person committing the crime they are trying to solve. Psych runs into this same problem.
In this episode there were three main guest stars, the …
Stargate SG-1: The Devil You Know
The Devil You Know, from season 3 of Stargate SG-1, concludes the events begun in the prior episode, entitled Jolinar’s Memories. For me, this second part is so much more exciting to watch.
On a mission to rescue Sam’s father, Jacob, from hell, otherwise known as Netu, SG-1 become …
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.
I have seen parts of this episode, which has the Jeffersonian team trying to find a serial killer while getting ready for a Halloween party (complete with some pretty interesting costumes and …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Divided We Fall
“Divided We Fall” is the 25th episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one, and for all intents and purposes, it is the season finale even though one more episode remains. It is a great episode and brings the year to a satisfying conclusion.
Lex Luthor and Brainiac have merged, …
ECHO, THE MOVIE
Imagine that you are a highly respected, handsome man with a wonderful life of the American Dream. You have it all. Family, friends, terrific job, and all that one works for in life. Imagine how much you are in love with your wife, and how much she loves you.
Now, …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ensign Ro
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ensign Ro is an episode that I enjoy, although it is an episode that I also have some complaints about. For one, I do wish that the writers would have explained either in this episode or a future episode just what happened on …
Mine Your Own Business
I’m still watching Scooby Doo Where Are You episodes with my daughter and got to see one I honestly haven’t ever seen before “Mine Your Own Business.”
This one turned out to be halfway decent. The gang is driving someplace (I didn’t catch where when they said it) and, because …
The Andy Griffith Show: High Noon in Mayberry TV Show
Leo Gordon returns to The Andy Griffith Show playing an ex-con named Luke Comstock in this 1963 episode entitled High Noon in Mayberry. The main comedy thrust comes from the wrong analysis of Barney Fife (Don Knotts) when reading a letter that his friend, Sheriff Andy Taylor (Griffith) …
