Torchwood: Greeks Bearing Gifts
Toshiko finally comes to the forefront with her first feature episode when a seductive young woman comes into her life and offers her an amazing gift; a pendant which bestows her telepathic abilities. Initially hesitant, Toshiko is soon seduced by both Mary and the pendant, but is unprepared for …
Sea Hunt: The Prospectors TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Prospectors, from June 1958, has Mike Nelson in the middle of two prospectors (one of whom is at times violently paranoid about being cheated). They ask Nelson to help with their hunt for uranium, and he agrees. However, once they find what they’re after, …
House MD. Season 8 Episode 2
I have previously said that House was one TV show that was not afraid to take risks (it has previously replaced almost an entire cast) and it was completely unexpected and brilliant. Well, episode 2 of House has proven me just unexpected the show can get. It left me …
M*A*S*H: The Smell of Music
M*A*S*H: The Smell of Music is a story of a war within a war. It has little to do with the Korean War that is the stage for this wartime comedy, but rather it’s about a battle of wills between Swamp-mates Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike …
QVC
QVC which stands for Quality, value, and cost is a home shopping channel which I like to watch.
I really like “window shopping” that channel. They have some very nice reasonably priced merchandise.
I like all the hosts. I know they are salespeople, but I find they are not as …
It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown (1984)
Out of all of the Snoopy TV specials, this is my favorite. With the scenes of breakdancing and the energetic songs, it’s the one that says “1980s” the most. I grew up in the 80s so I love a lot of stuff from that decade. And there’s just something …
M*A*S*H: Death Takes a Holiday
M*A*S*H: Death Takes a Holiday has a few different twists as the 4077th celebrates another Christmas. By now, they’ve actually celebrated more Christmas seasons than there actually were in the actual Korean conflict.
The most dramatic story was focused on B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell), who has a wounded patient. …
Scrubs: Our Drunk Friend
This episode had a lot of the same problems that the first episode had.
I think the biggest problem though was that it was rehashing territory already covered. I mentioned that the last episode did similar things, but this episode does practically the exact same thing with an alcoholic …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Tony Danza
Tony Danza was the latest guest on Shatner’s Raw Nerve. I used to never like Danza, but after seeing him in person while he was filming “Who’s the Boss” and then watching how he’s responded to various challenges in life, I actually respect him quite a bit.
Danza doesn’t …
Everybody Loves Raymond
Everybody Loves Raymond is a great comedy sitcom. I like that this sitcom actually portrays real-life circumstances. The characters in Everybody Loves Raymond are down-right hilarious, especially Raymond and his dad. Raymond is married and has three children. He lives next door to his doting/nosy mother Marie and comical …
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 …
Futurama TV Episode: Fry and the Slurm Factory
My daughter and I took the time to watch a Futurama episode Tuesday night and ended up watching the Season 1 episode Fry and the Slurm Factory.
I had seen this one before (a long time ago) and this was the first time my daughter had watched it. Both of …
Ally McBeal
It took me a very long time to watch the popular American television series “Ally McBeal” since I didn’t have cable television for years, and then when my parents finally got cable television and I was either too busy to watch it when it was on, or I could …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Defenders of Peace
It’s rare for any show to expect the people who watch it to think, and rarer for a cartoon, but The Clone Wars on rare occasion attempts just that. This episode is based around a small tribe of people who want peace at any cost.
They are willing to abandon …
Clean House
If I ever want to feel better about the mess in our house, all I need to do is turn on the television and watch the show Clean House.
Each week, Clean House visits another home that has become such a disaster area, you have to wonder why the people …
Gilligan’s Island - Gilligan’s Personal Magnatism TV Show
This is a great episode, lots of action, lightening strikes, and bizarre natural occurrences. The Professor has lots of challenges ahead of him. And I can almost see the gears turning in his scientific mind of his trying to help Gilligan. And this episode is definitely high up there …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 - The Wedding
The show is over. Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 — The Wedding is the final episode of this navy drama. The sad part is that no one knew that at the time of the taping. Therefore, it has that typical cliffhanger ending that would never be …
Wagon Train: Clyde
Wagon Train: Clyde is from the fifth season of this western TV series. It’s a sort of comedy focused on the Charlie Wooster character. Wooster is the cook for the wagon train. He’s a colorful personality and just a good guy. He was played by …
That Girl - Season Two DVD set
Again, my problem with the Shout Factory DVD release of this show, and others that they’ve done, is how inconvenient the layout is. Since this is only a four-disk set, it’s not as bad as others, but what they tend to do is put two DVDs on the …
The Virginian: Run Away Home
The Virginian: Run Away Home is the second show I’ve noticed that was redone several years later as an episode of Alias Smith and Jones (ASAJ), which was a favorite show of mine, called The Girl in Boxcar #3. I recall an article done during that time that …
Friends season 1 episode 8
This funny episode of friends is named as “The One Where Nana Dies Twice”. This was really a funny episode of Friends season 1. In this episode we get to see at first that Chandler was really depressed because in his workplace many people think that he is a …
King of the Hill
I love King of the Hill. It’s not as funny as say, Family Guy, but it is worth watching and I find it addictive. The characters are round enough that you get to know them and are interested in their stories, even though it is just animation. I love …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode : Raw
I had intended on being in bed last night by 9. But, I ended up watching a re-run of Law & Order SVU; Raw. I have to tell you, it was one of the most intense episodes I’ve seen.
I missed the first few minutes of it but apparently they …
Serial Experiments Lain Episode 2: Girls
Whoa, just whoa. This show is rather creepy. It made sense this time around, and there was plot rather than randomness.
Lain is still trying to figure out the deal with the emails. The other girls in her class try to draw her out of …
George Lopez
George Lopez is a very funny show. I started watching this show a few months ago and I must say I do enjoy it. You can watch it on the CW 44 or cable 12. I like George Lopez’s sense of humor. He is very funny yet very sarcastic and …
Jamie Oliver TV programme
I think Jamie Oliver is a breath of fresh air. He throws the rule book out the window when it comes to cooking and he is pretty cute too.
I like the gap in his front teeth, his cheeky accent and hi little messed up boy hair… it helps that …
MSNBC
All of the cable news networks have a slogan, or more than one; Fox News has “Fair and Balanced” and “We Report, You Decide” but none are as accurate in the opinion of this viewer and political junkie as MSNBC’s. With its line-up of entertaining and informative shows and …
Sea Hunt: Oil Island TV Show
Oil Island is the 36th show of Sea Hunt’s second season on the air. Starring Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson, expert deep sea diver, this outing begins with a little celebration of the oil rig. These days that’s a bit questionable. The story doesn’t really have …
Highway Patrol: Expose TV Show
This episode of Highway Patrol called Expose begins at the Maple Leaf Motel run by Mr. Walters. Two men want to collect a bill that turns out to be a part of a protection racket run by a man named Daggett. Walters refuses to pay after having …
The Fall Guy: The Adventures of Ozzie and Harold TV Show
The Fall Guy: The Adventures of Ozzie and Harold is not a favorite episode of mine by any stretch of the imagination. There are a number of reasons for this. First, the opening stunt sequence I don’t find believable, not because of the action, but I just …
That 70s Show TV Episode: Love Wisconsin Style
I finally got to see the That 70s Show Episode “Love Wisconsin Style.” Well, I should re-phrase that, it wasn’t as though I was waiting forever to see this particular episode. I just missed the part of the series about why Donna and Kelso flee to California for a …
CSI: For Warrick
If you are a CSI fan then you should know who Warrick is. In case you don’t know already, in the episode called “For Warrick” in the latest season, he passes away. This is a very sad episode but yet extremely good. There were parts that I was crying …
Have Gun - Will Travel: One Came Back
Have Gun - Will Travel: One Came Back is from the third season of this western series. It opens with Paladin getting a fitting as the wealthy gentleman he is known as in San Francisco. That has nothing to do with the story, but I really enjoy …
Psych TV Episode: Ghosts
I was watching another re-run of the show Psych this afternoon while having lunch. This one was entitled Ghosts and was one I have seen before but couldn’t remember much about it. I’m glad I watched it though because it was actually a very good episode.
Basically, Gus needs to …
Destination Truth show
Destination Truth is a show that airs on Wednesday nights after Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel, or SyFy now. This show is mainly about cryptozoology but they’ll occasionally do paranormal cases as well. It’s a bit like Ghost Hunters but the crew for Destination Truth is a …
Coach
I absolutely love football. So, when Coach, a show about a football coach, is on TV, I�m sure to watch it.
To be honest, I only really watch when the earlier episodes of this show are on. When Craig T. Nelson (who plays Hayden Fox) was coaching at the college …
Court TV
Within the past year, I seem to have gotten farther and farther away from watching mainstream television shows, and I, for one reason or another, have become more interested in Court TV. Maybe I am just tiring of redundant television concepts, or maybe it is because I am …
Chasing Mummies: Discovered TV Show
Chasing Mummies: Discovered opens with a man being injured, though that’s about the only mention of this. It’s like instant drama with no follow through.
However, there was something exciting about this hour and that was seeing the 123rd pyramid being discovered. Apparently, it had been found under …
The Simpsons Season 18 Episode 16
It is Homer’s birthday and the family is getting ready for Homer to cut the cake. But Homer is struggling to blow the candles. He is unable to blow and he falls on the candles, it causes the house to catch fire. The fire brigade is called in and …
Highway Patrol: Confession TV Show
From 1959, Confession was the 36th episode to air in the final season, its fourth, of the police drama, Highway Patrol. This half hour series starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as his number one helper of sorts, Sergeant Ken Williams. For me, …
The Closer 6.1 “Make Over”
Over the last couple of years, I’ve watched The Closer somewhat irregularly, whenever I would accidentally catch it on TV. I’ve seen some better and worse episodes, and I’ve overall enjoyed the focus of the show, away from the forensic stuff and on the honest-to-goodness old school detective work …
Scrubs show
I am not someone who is easily amused or even laughs out loud daily, but a couple years ago I began watching a show called Scrubs and immediately became hooked. And this is putting it lightly. After downloading the 5 seasons that had come …
Sea Hunt: The Meet TV Show
I love the opening to this episode of Sea Hunt which is called. Mike Nelson, our resident deep see diver, is working on a project that is less stressful than most, and he’s enjoying it. Then all of a sudden, it starts to rain money, and he’s …
America’s Got Talent: Semi-Finals Results Part 2 TV Show
I really haven’t enjoyed this season of America’s Got Talent. The talent has been decent, but I’ve so often disagreed with the judges. It’s a bit disheartening to see some of the insanity that goes on with the judging. I have no problem with America’s votes …
TV Show: Seducing Cindy
When we got Direct TV, we ended up with several channels we never had before. And, as a result, came across a few television shows we had never knew existed.
One of those shows was a show called Seducing Cindy, which was airing on our reality TV channel. Since the …

Miami Ink
