Stargate SG-1: Avenger 2.0
This season seven entry of Stargate SG-1 doesn’t really excite me that much. Avenger 2.0 brings back the geek from season six’s The Other Guys. As played by Patrick McKenna, Felger means well, but he’s essentially a fumbling geek with a big crush on Sam.
The negatives on this …
Sea Hunt: Gold Below TV Show

Luckily, he was the Science Patrol helping him, although they never seem to be very successful. This is …
Star Trek: The Apple TV Show
Gene Roddenberry tackles Eden yet again in Star Trek: The Apple. The series creator seems to love to show that books shouldn’t be judged by their covers and that living easy isn’t necessarily living. Man never quite finds paradise in Star Trek.
Another red shirt goes down before …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Sanctuary TV Show
I love the opening of The Sanctuary, which is the 33rd episode of the sixth and final season of Have Gun - Will Travel. There’s a rather smug man named Captain Zimmerman who is playing a round of chess with several men at the same time. He’s …
Ghost Hunters: Crescent Hotel & Dr. Ellis
OK, I have to say it. I have watched plenty of Ghost Hunters episodes in the past and have been left with doubts about what they have found. But, when I saw the Season 2 episode “Crescent Hotel & Dr. Ellis” I have to admit I was pretty creeped …

Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection
First of all, owning the Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a feel good, science fiction, and sentimental thing for me, so watching these shows again was really wonderful.
The five-disk set have a collector’s box that they fit …
Family Guy TV Episode: It’s a Trap
Synopsis: This hour-long episode is a sequel to Blue Harvest and Something, Something, Something Dark Side. Much like the two episodes before it, it spoofs the Star Wars trilogy by poking fun at the film Return of the Jedi.

I have watched and loved Bewitched for a long long time. Those of you that don’t know the story must be living under a rock. It’s about a witch who marries a mortal and lives with him. They try to keep the fact that she is …
I Love New York show
“I Love New York” is a spin-off of “Flavor of Love.” “New York” was one of the competitors on “Flavor of Love” and I suppose VH-1 thought she was so outrageous that she deserved to get her own show. “I Love New York” has a houseful of men …
The Catherine Tate Show - Series Three
Catherine Tate returns with her many guises, bringing with her many fan favourites and a few new faces.
It’s very much same old, same old; but this third series is certainly a step up from Tate’s last outing. Generally, things seem to have been upped a notch. There’s still …

Fox News Channel
With the multiple news channels that we have access to in the United States, we all have to make choices about what channels we watch. I think that Fox News is the best choice among American news channels. This is for many reasons.
First of all, its slogan …
Bones TV Episode: The Blonde in the Game
Our youngest daughter was actually napping for a change so I decided to watch a bit of TV while eating lunch today. I ended up watching an episode of the show Bones; The Blonde in the Game.

Recap: Earth-2 Wells with Barry and Cisco journey to Earth-2 and encounter their respective counterparts.
When Earth-2 Wells confessed he was responsible for Barry’s decreased speed from “Fast Lane” episode, I was very excited for this two-parter epic finally rolling in because I’ve been waiting to see more of Earth-2 …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: 9-16-10 TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn from the 16th of September, 2010 focused on Breakfast Favorites, using the perspective of how easy it can be to make homemade products. The thing is, it wasn’t easy for me and this was probably my least favorite episode of the opening …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 24: Our Town
This episode is a letdown, really that’s all there is to it. Between the fact that it follows up the extra-ordinary “Soft Light” and comes right before the season finale, you’d think that this would be a big episode. Sadly, the opposite holds true and the whole …
Bones: Spaceman in a Crater
Well, this episode of Bones, Spaceman in a Crater, turned out to be decent; but the earlier episodes usually were; unlike some of the more recent ones.
This episode had the team investigating remains that apparently had fallen from a plan and shattered upon contact with the ground. After seeing …
Star in the Night
Star in the Night from way back in 1945 is a really simple, modern day simile of the Nativity. It’s set out in the middle of a little town and opens with three cowboys on horseback, riding along with Christmas presents. They see a bright star shining …
G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)
I have been very disappointed with the Simpsons series lately. Last night’s episode “G.I.” did redeem them a little bit.
The episode, which had Homer enlisting in the Army only to be hunted down as part of a war games exercise, brought the show back to its political satire roots.
It …
Warehouse 13 season 1 episode 6 Burnout
Warehouse 13 is a show about two secret service agents who look for artefacts that can affect human behaviour. In each episode they solve a different case but the warehouse itself holds a mystery that will probably be solved by the end of the season, at least I hope …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: I Robot, You Jane
There are great episodes of the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and then there are episodes like “I Robot .You Jane” which, in the words of the comic book guy on the show the Simpsons is “The worst Episode Ever.”
Normally, Buffy episodes do one of two things; they either …
House of Payne show
I have watched this show called house of Payne quite a few times. In general I really like it. It’s funny and entertaining. I watch it quite a bit now. Some episodes aren’t as good as others but that is true with any show. I like this show because …

Meet The Parents - TV Show - E4
If you are a single lad, or a lad that has recently started seeing a new girl, then I have seen a t.v show that would really put me off the idea of ever being in a relationship again. Meet The Parents on E4 is where a lad can …
Stargate SG-1: Show and Tell
One of my very small pet peeves about Stargate SG-1 is that oftentimes in the early years, if there was a child’s story, it was always Richard Dean Anderson’s character who had the poignant connection with the child. The only exception was Cassandra, the alien child Sam had …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Saves Gomer TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Saves Gomer is a standout episode that lets Jim Nabors shine as the lovable Gomer Pyle.
The show opens with Andy and company getting a letter from Barney, who is in the big city with his cousin, Virgil. It’s interesting that in this fourth …
Law and Order vs. CSI Miami
The two popular shows Law and Order and CSI Miami are both very interesting and have a lot of positive and intriguing aspects to them. Personally, I would choose CSI Miami because I am the type of person who likes to see all the behind-the-scene action. Unlike …
The Mighty Boosh: Series One, Episode One - Killeroo
The first TV episode of the cult, surreal comedy The Mighty Boosh, Killeroo, is the perfect opening to the first series. It sets about immediately establishing the signature banter between the writers and performers Noel Fielding and Julian Barrett. This double act is one of the main …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Deadly Dolls TV Show
The second show of the fourth season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea guest starred Vincent Price and was called The Deadly Dolls. I actually loved the opening teaser where the Seaview crew was being amused by a puppet show of sorts in which Admiral Nelson, …

The X-Files: Season 3, Episode 2: Paper Clip
Concluding the three part extravaganza, this episode manages to maintain all of the things that worked about the previous episode, while toning down on the stuff that didn’t. The pseudo-philosophical narration is still here, but it doesn’t play as large a part as it did when Mulder was …
America’s Got Talent: Performance August 3, 2010 TV Show
We had another performance show for America’s Got Talent on August 3rd where several acts did their thing in the hopes of moving forward to the next levels of the finals. Below are a few impressions on some of the acts from the evening.
Da Maniacs. They began …
House: The Greater Good
More and more each week, I find myself not liking the House character Cuddy. Well, to be honest, I think the entire show might be going downhill a bit since it focuses on character interaction and relationships rather than actually trying to solve some sort of medical problem.
Once again, …
Star Trek: Balance of Terror TV Show
Star Trek: Balance of Terror introduces earthlings to the Romulans. It does so by pulling on our hearts because the show opens with the one and only time that we almost saw a wedding on the ship. It seems odd to me that the couple to be …
