Titanic: The Mission Part 4 TV Show
This review is for the fourth installment out of five called Titanic: The Mission. The documentary production was made by the British and had the unique stance of honoring the engineers who built the Titanic versus simply doing a tribute to the disaster itself.
The biggest focus of the …
Bones Season 21 Episode 1 -The Soldier on the Grave
There is rarely an episode of Bones that I don’t like. And this one is no exception. But this one is different from the rest of the episodes this season. Usually there is a mixture of serious things with a lot of humour. This time it was very serious and …

Fireball XL5: Planet 46
Fireball XL5: Planet 46 premiered on October 28,1962 and introduced the United States audience to this British import from the mind of Gerry Anderson. It’s a science fiction series done not with actors, but with supermarionation. In other words, these are advanced puppets, and who knew they’d …
Fringe Season 4 Episode 3
After viewing the previous episodes of season 4 of Fringe I have voiced my concerns regarding the future of the show. It looked like they have stripped away the most intriguing and touching aspects of the show: they have wiped Peter Bishop out of existence, taking away the intense …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.15: Desert Cantos
“Desert Cantos” isn’t as bad as “Alpine Fields” or “Earthlings Welcome Here” but it isn’t as good as say “The Good Wound”, it is a rather ‘tame’ follow-up to that latter episode though. Following the destruction of the covert factory in the middle of nowhere, a company funeral is …
Mr. Monk and the Leper
I am a huge fan of the television series Monk. However, Friday’s episode, Mr. Monk and the Leper was a bit of a disappointment.
While the show still kept most of it’s trademark comedy, the episode seemed to lack a lot of the mystery that has kept it a top …
The Flintstones: The Flintstone Flyer
My daughter has never seen the Flintstones before so I recently rented the first season of the show on DVD. We watched the first episode last night, the Flintstone Flyer and it was somewhat interesting.
This is before the characters were fully established but it managed to be entertaining. Barney …
The Twilight Zone: Black Leather Jackets TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Black Leather Jackets is a show that actually misleads a little bit. I always go into to this show and think it’s going to be one thing and then it turns out to be another. The Black Leather Jacket titles can really spin you …
The Brightest Angel
This year, I surfed video on demand to try and find some holiday fare to watch. I just wasn’t satisfied with what I was finding on a daily basis. Maybe I just wanted to see something new here and there. One of the shows I stumbled …

CHiPs: One Two Many
The first episode of 1978 as the premier season of CHiPs continued was called One Two Many. The name for this show comes from the unfortunate fact that there seem to be one too man Jon Bakers around. In other words, there’s a wannabe cop running around …

Stargate: Infinity: The Natural TV Show
Stargate: Infinity: The Natural is another lesson show. Actually, I think they all are, but it seems that the last half of the season is much more focused on that than the first half, or maybe it’s just standing out to me because it seems to be so …
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 …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 6: The Vampires of Venice
The TARDIS picks up another crew member as the Doctor decides to bring Rory along so that he can spend time with Amy. I imagine it is also to keep Amy from putting the moves on him. More than that, he probably doesn’t want to be the …
Family Guy - And Then There Were Fewer
While Season 8 left us Family Guy fans with some great episodes, there were a few that left something to be desired, so I was really looking forward to the first episode of Season 9. I was waiting to be Wowed. …
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas was this American Idol alum’s first TV special. I liked it, somewhat, but was also disappointed. Hudson has one dynamo voice. It’s full of power, but I felt like she tried to jazz everything up too much, or to put that whole black …

ICarly TV Episode: I saw Him First
As I mentioned a short time ago in another review, I don’t normally watch the show ICarly. But, my daughter was watching something else on one of our Nick stations and, because I never changed the channel, it was on while I was doing something else.
The episode I ended …

Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 14
Well, what do we have here? A episode that provides an summary of the last episodes up till this point. This is the elusive recap episode that every series has for reasons that are beyond even me. Well, at least Neon Genesis Evangelion makes it in an original format. …
Highway Patrol: Wounded TV Show
Wounded, from season two of Highway Patrol, is actually an episode I enjoyed very much. In fact, it’s one of the best episodes in my opinion, and it’s certainly in the top ten for me. The reason for that is the premise of the show and also …
The Simpsons Season 8
The Simpsons Season 8 is one of the great seasons of the animated show because it contains several episodes that fans regard as classics. However it also contains episodes that are just as good, but aren’t talked about very often. Personally I love the episode where Bart is finally …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Pilot TV show

Big Brother 12 - Week 1, Show 1 TV Show
I actually watched the very first episode of the original Big Brother in America. That first season was nothing like this show is today. For me, that’s a negative. I actually still find that first cast endearing, and I often wonder where they are today and how …

The Mike Wallace Interview TV Show
This episode of The Mike Wallace Interview featured Rod Serling and it’s really intriguing in that much of the conversation surrounds the issue of censorship. Here are a few of my impressions about this classic, black and white interview.
–It was so odd to watch the camera focused on …
What Not to Wear (tv show)
I generally do not watch makeover shows like “What Not to Wear” unless I am very bored and there is not much else going on on cable television. However, I must admit that even though I don’t go out of my way most times to watch it, they do …

The Twilight Zone: The 7th Is Made up of Phantoms TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The 7th Is Made up of Phantoms is a little on the strange show, but since this entire series is about strange, I suppose that is okay. In short, what this episode revolves around are three National Guard soldiers, going about their business while on …

Ghost Hunters: Fort Henry
I ended up watching the later showing of Ghost Hunters last night (so I could watch SVU on a different channel at 8) and I was concerned I was losing sleep over yet another case that wasn’t going to offer too much in terms of evidence.
