Spongebob Squarepants Season One: Plankton
This episode really features Plankton, and you get to know his character quite well. He is the evil wannabe genius who is always out to steal the crabby patty secret formula away from the Krusty Krab. He will do anything and everything to try to get his hands on …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Blood Moon TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Blood Moon really should be the Halloween episode, and maybe it is. Either way, it is not an hour of fun for me. I am not into vampires, werewolves, and decapitations, all of which were vital parts of this show.
The teaser scene is …
TV Show: Paula-s Home Cooking
Basically, I am still a good old Southern gal at heart and part of my heritage involves the regional cooking I was brought up on.
That’s why I enjoy watching “Paula’s Home Cooking” program, as featured on The Food Network and starring one Ms.Paula Dean.
We no longer live down South, …
Thriller: The Closed Cabinet TV Show
Thriller: The Closed Cabinet was a good hour of viewing. I haven’t seen these Thriller episodes until recently, and now I’ve seen several, most of which have been nice to view. Hopefully, I’ll be able to see more of them. Boris Karloff has a knack for …
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 …
Seinfeld: The Sponge
OK, sometimes the show Seinfeld takes a joke a bit too far to the point where it is still funny but also very unrealistic. The episode “The Sponge” is one of those.
The main plot is the episode focuses on the discontinuance of the Today Sponge, apparently Elaine’s favorite form …

Hellcats: The Prisoner’s Song TV Show

Ellen talk show
This talk show is a lot of fun to watch. I don’t usually watch it, because I am not home at the time it is on, but the other day, I ws home while it was on. She has very interesting guests, and the phone conversations she does are …
Survivor Nicaragua: Glitter in Their Eyes TV Show
Survivor Nicaragua: Glitter in Their Eyes was full of fire as events unfolded. There were also a lot of critical moves and, of course, a blind side. That’s what this TV Show is about more often than not, the surprise back stabbing. I’m pretty tired of …

Reganno Beef Stroganoff Dinner
We had a few errands to run last night and didn’t have a lot of time to make a complicated dinner. So, my wife ended up cooking a Beef Stroganoff boxed dinner from the brand Reganno.
I’m not sure where we bought this dinner (I think it was Aldi) but …
Stargate SG-1: Menace
As season five of Stargate SG-1 winds down, it offers up what is actually a very good episode in Menace, except for a couple of mitigating factors and one really big episode omission.
Michael Shanks who played Daniel Jackson had decided to leave the show due to a number of …
M*A*S*H: The Most Unforgettable Characters

Black Gold: S3, Ep 8 TV Show
The 8th show of Black Gold’s third season on the air was, well, lackluster and highly repetitive in my opinion. In essence, the hour picks up where they left off in the 7th show with the workers letting off steam at the bar, only that is where a …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Cave of the Dead TV Show
From October 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Cave of the Dead was the third show of the fourth year. The science fiction hit series starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as the handsome Captain Crane, who stirred my heartstrings as a child.

Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 4 Performance TV Show
Dancing With the Stars, Week 4 of the 11th season, was another entertaining show. I’m not really that crazy about all of the celebrities performing on the show this season, but they have been better than anticipated. This show was different, too, because it was performed in …
Adam 12 - Log 122
When it comes to Christmas shows, “Adam-12’s” episode “Log 122″ is right up there with the best of ‘em. This is a memorable show. The phrase ‘yellow dump truck’ resonates with joy to any series’ fan with holiday spirit. I look forward to watching this show …

The so-so sixth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm ended on a rather strange note. For a start, Larry’s long suffering but forever faithful spouse Cheryl had finally called quits on her husband and all his hang-ups. Stranger still, Larry quickly found love again with Loretta Black and her misplaced …
Project Runway: The Art of Design
Last night’s final Project Runway challenge was somewhat entertaining. The designers were taken to an art museum and told to create an outfit based on something they were inspired by. This ended up being everything from an old bed to moss on a fountain outside.
I have to tell you …
Miss America: Countdown to the Crown

Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-15-10 TV Show
The September 15th edition of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show pretty much bored me. I just am not a fan of hers and while she was a bit more relatable with her audience, she isn’t someone I enjoy watching.
One segment of the show involved designer Tory Burch, which …
The Laramie Project, an HBO production
The film version of this extraordinary play was done with expertise, appropriate care and brilliant acting. I don’t think it could have been done better. The cast is superb, including the likes of Steve Buscemi, Laura Linney, Christina Ricci and others. They bring their A-game to …

True Blood 3.01 “Bad Blood”
I have to admit to having quite mixed feelings about this particular TV series - although the show can be quite riveting at times, some of its subplots in the past have proven to lack satisfying resolution, the gore and sexuality can be excessive to the point of inducing …
Diagnosis Murder: Sister Michael Wants You TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Sister Michael Wants You guest stars Delta Burke in a delightful role as Sister Michael, an old friend of Mark Sloan’s who has a powerful punch and a lot of street know how. Sloan is portrayed by Dick Van Dyke, of course. In the story, …

Private Practice
When I first heard that Addison from Grey’s Anatomy was going to get her own show I was pretty excited. I really like Kate Walsh and the character Addison so when Private Practice started screening I watched.
It’s different, it’s not a blatant rip off of Grey’s Anatomy although …
The Year Without a Santa Claus
The Year Without a Santa Claus first aired in 1974, and it’s been a holiday staple ever since. I’ve watched it every year, and oftentimes more than once. It’s one of the best animated Christmas vehicles out there, in my opinion. In fact, I just watched …
Siapa Tak Sayang Bini - Who does not love their wives
I watched a drama on my local channel the other day, Siapa Tak Sayang Bini - Who does not love their wives and it was so darn funny and super awesome. I was watching it with my whole family and we were laughing like mad.
Basically, the synopsis of …
Diagnosis Murder: The 13 Million Dollar Man TV Show
The music that opened up the fifth episode of Diagnosis Murder, an episode called The 13 Million Dollar Man was very entertaining. It actually made me laugh in that it was an upbeat coy number, very playful in a mysterious sort of way. It was cool. …
Celebrity Apprentice - Season 2, Episode 2
Celebrity Apprentice - Season 2, Episode 2 brings up one very important question — why is Dennis Rodman participating in this process? He has shown no real desire to be there, even though he talks like he wants to be. It makes no sense. In this …

The robust man who starred as private eye Cannon and who had the wonderful voice, William Conrad, was the honoree for this issue of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. He was the Man of the Week, the one who took the heat delivered by the various roasters of …
Happy Birthday Mr. Monk
One thing I’ve noticed in the final season of Monk is the cases are somewhat easy to solve but the episodes still manage to be entertaining from a comedy standpoint.
This was the case last night with Happy Birthday Mr. Monk.
The episode, of course, had Monk celebrating his (50th) birthday. …
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 …
What’s New Scooby Doo: Mummy Scares Best
I liked the first episode of the series “What’s New Scooby Doo” but I’m not sure if I was a big fan of the second “Mummy Scares Best” simply because it was a bit too predictable.
The problem with this episode, which features a mummy trying to scare people away …
Sea Hunt: Ransom TV Show
Ransom aired towards the end of Sea Hunt’s second season. It’s all about the need to recover some computer memory tapes that are being held for ransom. Here are some thoughts on this half hour episode of the adventure series which starred Lloyd Bridges.
–Okay, firing into the …
Stargate SG1: Cold Lazurus
This episode is the one wherein Jack finally comes to terms with the death of his son, Charlie. Or rather, an alien form which looks like Jack helps him to deal.
This episode had to happen. Kurt Russell had portrayed Jack O’Neill as a more, shall we say …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Buccaneer is the 22nd show of this successful 1960’s TV series. It begins with a distraction at the secret sub harbor where the Seaview is docked in Santa Barbara. Of course, it’s not a secret to everyone, as is proved …
Project Runway: A Look in the Line TV Show
Project Runway: A Look in the Line had an element that I’ve missed since the cancellation of Models of the Runway. On that show, the designers always picked their models for the next week and much of the time, they were told they had to pick new ones. …
Sci Fi’s Tin Man
Unlike many Americans, I’m not obsessed with television. At least not to the point where I will plan my life around it; with the exception of Green Bay Packers games.
This week, I discovered a mini-series that actually has me clearing my schedule.
When I saw the previews for the Sci …
Diagnosis Murder: The Restless Remains TV Show
I love it when Diagnosis Murder begins with a fun scene, like Mark Sloan rolling in on his skates, and then going right into rounds with the medical students. This is episode nine, The Restless Remains. Things get a bit crazy though when Mark has a visit …
