Psych TV Episode: Not So Close Encounters
My wife didn’t stay up to watch it, but I managed to see the latest episode of Psych last night; Not So Close Encounters. And, so far, I think it is the best one I have seen this season.
Basically, we learn early on that Shawn and Gus are obsessed …
Beast Wars - Changing of the Guard
Beast Wars - Changing of the Guard is an excellent episode - in part, because it is an episode of the series that does something quite different and it does so very well. This is one of two episodes in the series that takes place, partly, underwater. Rattrap is …
Tiny & Toya (BET)
I know that only one episode of this show has gone by. But I am really ashamed that this is what young black are aspiring to become these days. I have nothing against either young lady. I can see the pop culture appeal of showcasing …
Don’t Stop Believing: Episode 5 TV Show
The fifth episode of Don’t Stop Believing was highly energetic and entertaining. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see the fourth week, which I regret.
Below are a few notes about the six choirs who performed in this episode:
Funky Little Choir — They were okay, but for me, they were …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Kids’ Stuff
Kids’ Stuff is the fifth episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. As you could imagine from the title, yes this episode involves four of the Justice Leaguers being turned into children. Surprisingly, the episode manages to be wildly entertaining and funny and avoids the curse that …
Dawn Porter (Channel4)
Probably more famed for her work on BBC3, Dawn Porter has tackled numerous subjects in her often light hearted documentaries before.
With this Channel 4 series, Porter tackles topics that are a bit weightier and difficult than her previous exposes. In particular, her investigations into mail order brides and polygamy …
Doctor Who 50th Anniversary [The Day of the Doctor]
Let me tell you about the best T.V. series that has ever existed. First of all, Doctor Who is, as you could call it, ancient. It is either one of the first or actually the first science fiction series of all time. The main character is an alien that …
Full House Season 7
Full House season 7 signaled the beginning of the end, though it doesn’t appear as though any of the cast knew it at the time. As I watched the episodes, I couldn’t help but wonder if the producers were planning on making it the last season, and then changed …
Smallville
On one of the cable channels there is a series called Smallville. This is based on the Superman series. It takes place when Clark was young and was raised in Smallville.
You always know who Clark is because he is always wearing red whit and blue clothing. …
Friends Episode: Princess Consuela
Friends Episode: Princess Consuela is on Phoebe wanting so bad to change her name and she does not want to be Mrs Mike but with another exotic name. Including in this episode is also the cute and kind of panic at times Rachel, having an interview with Gucci. …
The Carol Burnett Show: Family Show TV Show
This particular tenth season episode of The Carol Burnett Show was called by Burnett “a family show” because there aren’t any guest stars. All of the skits and performances are by the regulars — Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Tim Conway.
The monologue is one of the longer ones …
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 …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-17-10 TV Show
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show from September 17, 2010 featured guests Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Ryan, John Ortiz, and Daphne Rubin-Vega. Some were more enjoyable than others.
Much of this show was devoted to Hoffman and his movie, Jack Goes Boating. Other members of the cast, as mentioned, …
MSNTV 2
This unit is definitely way better than the previous WebTv. Don’t get me wrong, I still have my old WebTv. The only reason I keep it is for nostalgia, not usability. It is still too slow. I was able to connect my MSNTV 2 to my broadband network …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 4: Planet of the Ood
The Doctor and Donna arrive on an alien planet in the 42nd Century. I think this is the first time that the relaunch has ever truly gone off world before. We’ve been to New Earth and to various spacecraft, but never to a bona fide alien world …
The Commish: Rising Sun TV Show
I was very happy to see that, at last, the third season to The Commish was online over at Hulu because I’ve been anxious to see the episode Rising Sun. The reason for that is that it includes a small role by my favorite, Michael Shanks of Stargate …
Bones: The He in the She
As far as the Bones episode The He in the She is concerned, it was a slight improvement over other episodes this season but not by much.
I liked the story line about a female minister who used to be a man and had a sex change; especially when it’s …
NCIS: Jurisdiction Season 7, Episode 18
“Jurisdiction” is one of the better episodes of Season 7. Diane Neal of “Law And Order SVU” played Abigail Borin, a CGIS agent who was very much like Gibbs. Yes, she does the infamous ‘Gibbs slap’. Yes, she does not believe in coincidences. Yes, she …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Panic In The Sky
“Panic In The Sky” is the 24th episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. By this episode, the plot has really hit the breaking point, as six of the “original seven” Justice Leaguers turn themselves in to federal custody, leaving the rest of the team to fight off …
Star Trek TV Show
The Star Trek television series has always been a favorite of mine. It’s among the best ever in terms of talking about the human condition and ideals. Gene Roddenberry created this wonderful show which has spawned several spin offs and several movies. This original series starred …
Commander in Chief Television programme
Geena Davis was born to play the US President in ‘Commander in Chief’. Apart from maybe Thelma in ‘Thelma and Louise’, this is the best role she’s ever had. I’m not normally a fan of political programmes, but this one is accessible and understandable for the viewer, …
SOCO: Scene of the Crime Operatives
If the USA have CSI(Crime Scene Investigation), the Philipines have its own localized version of this type of show, It is the SOCO, or the Scene of the Crime Operatives. This is a reality show that focuses on actual crimes committed with in the country, investigations and verdicts. The …

CSI VII - Empty Eyes
I watched CSI VII the episode on Empty Eyes and it was so scary that I still remember the gory details up till now.
This was based on a true crime story and it made me sick thinking of the killer. Yeah he was caught in the end, …

Monster Episode 18 has Anna Libert being questioned by police and they ask her if she knows anything about Dr. Tenma, she says she doesn’t and leaves. She sees her former boss Mister Rosso and they have dinner together, where she learns the truth about his past.
This was …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Kirk Douglas TV Show
The great Kirk Douglas was the honoree who was roasted on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. I like to see performers of his caliber in the hot seat. Usually someone like Douglas means more appropriate people on the dais, though not always.
One of my …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 6
Now as we race against the clock to prepare a defense for mankind, the angel Ramiel is bearing down towards Nerv HQ using an shield of some kind. Now, I would like to argue that it appears to be drill with an extended reach, but for now, I will …
Warehouse 13 season 1 episode 11 Nevermore
This episode was about the feather and a book written by Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was writing mostly mystical works so that was greatly incorporated here with getting to know Myka’s family and the involving of Macpherson, Artie’s old partner.
Myka’s mother calls her she thinks that Myka’s father is …
M*A*S*H: The Novocaine Mutiny
This episode of the long running wartime comedy took place mostly as a flashback. In M*A*S*H: The Novocaine Mutiny, Frank Burns (Larry Linville) has once again brought Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) up on charges, this time for mutiny of all things. With a colonel present to reside …
Night Court: Santa Goes Downtown
I started watching re-runs of Night Court in the mornings again and came across one of the classic Christmas episodes that is very memorable for me “Santa Goes Downtown.”
There are a couple reasons for this.
First, you have the whole “Does Santa really exist” story line that has gotten a …
Stargate SG-1: Crusade
Stargate SG-1: Crusade is definitely not a favorite show. The biggest problem with it is that Claudia Black is back as Vala, and that’s a sure sign of disaster. The horrid premise has her in the Ori galaxy using a device to contact the SGC, and in …
House: Saviors
Last night’s episode of House, entitled “Saviors” was actually one of the better House episodes I’ve seen in recent history.
This, of course, is the episode that takes place one week after the shocker involving Kutner’s suicide and the team has to figure out the cause of an environmentalist’s sudden …
New Girl ,’A Chill Day in’, TV show
As I wrote my review of the episode Road Trip I really feel the need to write my review of episode ‘A chill day in’. These two episodes are a long way from the episodes we got used to watching in these last two seasons which are sometimes good but …
How I Met Your Mother Season One
The first season of How I Met Your Mother was so great that I’m not surprised it got picked up for a second season and then subsequent seasons later. The show follows a man named Ted and his friends as they live and work in Manhattan. The point of …
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 1
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 1 gives us something different than we see in most other P.D. James film adaptations. We get the date of the story, which helps the viewer to track how much time has elapsed between scenes. This ultimately becomes important in understanding …
Gilligan’s Island - The Return of Wrongway Feldman TV Show
I really liked this episode even better than the first Wrongway Feldman episode. This second show gives an explanation why Wrongway is the way he is. His name Wrongway suggests he instinctively takes the opposite direction so there really is not too much surprise he does not like the …
Adam-12: Log 11
This episode gives us our first briefing for our Adam-12 boys, Pete Malloy and Jim Reed. Oddly, they aren’t sitting together, but it’s not really important. After the briefing, we get the set up for the show, and it’s a funny one.
Rookie Reed is asked to fill …
Stargate SG-1: Paradise Lost
Stargate SG-1: Paradise Lost is one of the wildcards I mention in my standard season six reviews. It’s pretty darn good, but the reason for that is that a good part of the action is off-world, and it’s just Jack and Harry Maybourne.
Maybourne is tired of running. …
Gilligan’s Island - New Neighbor Sam TV Show
There are only a handful of Gilligan Island episodes that includes real animals, and this is one of them. The parrot voice was play acted by Mel Blanc, so I was impressed how much this animal’s voice did sound like a parrots. Besides this I was impressed how the …
The Inbetweeners - Series 3 - Episode 1 - E4
So, The Inbetweeners returned for its long awaited third series this week. I was genuinely surprised at the anticipation surrounding this series as it’s rare that so many people seem so interested in one show on t.v. The last time I can remember so many people being so interested …
G. Garvin’s Cooking Show (TV One)
I really wanted to like this cooking show as I love to watch shows where people are getting down in the kitchen. I also like the fact that there is a black man on television who embraces being in the kitchen. In any case I …
Ben 10 Episode: Lucky Girl
This morning while looking at television and flipping through channels I saw one of my favourite cartoons being shown. On Cartoon Network there is a cartoon named Ben 10. In this cartoon a kid on vacation with his grandpa and cousin happens upon an alien “watch” whose correct name …
The Andy Griffith Show: My Fair Ernest T. Bass TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: My Fair Ernest T. Bass brings back the character of the rock throwing mountain man, Ernest T. Bass played so brilliantly by Howard Morris. When last scene, Ernest T. wanted a uniform. Apparently, things didn’t go well. Now he is back, and …
Star Trek’s Favorite Moments featurette
I love the Star Trek’s Favorite Moments featurette which allows us to get a look at some of the Trek performers and what it is that attracted them to this science fiction series. Michael Dorn, Ethan Phillips, and Tim Russ all spoke about how they watched Star Trek …
CSI Season 5 Episode 14- Unbearable
I felt it was a mediocre episode. It wasn’t bad, but it was not something very interesting and exciting. It was just another episode on the show, waiting to be forgotten. The human factor of the story always surprises me. You can write a really great episode, with all …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 7
Denise Bauer is representing Dwight Biddle in an annulment case. Dwight Biddle was a bosom buddy of Shirley Schimdt but since she doesn’t want to represent Dwight in the case because of her personal experience, Shirley turfed the case to Denise. The evidentiary hearing went on with Dwight Biddle …
M*A*S*H: To Market, to Market
I’ve always remembered this episode because it’s just so dang funny. M*A*S*H: To Market, to Market has Hawkeye and Trapper trying to make a deal on the black market to get some much needed medical supplies. Much of the supplies ordered by the 4077th had been stolen. …
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 …
How to Get Away with Murder (legal drama series)
One of the series that I’m watching right now is “How to Get Away with Murder”, which airs on the cable television channel ABC. The title actually got my attention a little before it began because of how unique it sounded, and after a while when it premiered, I was …
M*A*S*H: Foreign Affairs
M*A*S*H: Foreign Affairs is a different story because it’s the first love affair for Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers). He becomes mesmerized by a French Red Cross worker who is at the 4077th to observe for a few days. Melinda Mullins guest stars as …
