The Virginian: Old Cowboy is not a new or novel idea. It’s been told in TV and movies for decades. I realize this is an older show, but even for the 60’s, it’s been told before. What is the focus is an old cowboy, a man …

The 28th episode of Sea Hunt’s second season was called Underwater Ejection and focused on deep sea diver Mike Nelson, portrayed by Lloyd Bridges, hunting down nose cones from space craft. The man has some interesting jobs, that’s for sure.
Mike Nelson opens the show with an injury, which …

Stargate SG-1: Line in the Sand bugged me in some ways, but then again, that is the norm for season ten episodes. This is the third episode without Michael Shanks. In the show, no one knows what has happened to Daniel for sure. Is he alive …

Just when you think everything is going well, it all goes to crap and it happens on the set of “The Lost Boys 2″, thanks to Corey Haim who begins by slurring and forgetting his lines as well as causing problems for almost everybody on set. His assistant Nelle …

This is my second favorite show of all time. I love this show. Ellen always has something fun and exciting going on, on her show. She has a lot of celebrities and non celebrities on her show. One of the main reasons I love her show is mainly because …

Lately, I have been highly intrigued by the Discovery Health Channel on television. Not only does the channel obtain a nice mix of show topics to improve your overall health, but it also aires a great deal of shows about medical miracles and various illnesses and traumatic health …

I like to watch cartoons and one of the oldest cartoons around has got to be Tom and Jerry. I remember watching these episodes since I was a kid. I just saw an episode of Tom and Jerry and it is called “The Invisible Mouse.”
This episode starts off almost …

I have always loved watching funny shows; I think it is a good stress buster. In the Philippines, gag shows and funny shows, and even sitcoms have become really few these days; mostly people have concentrated on getting Korean novellas, and foreign shows. If not, locally produced shows are …

In this episode, it turns out that a Goa’uld parasite got into an Air Force character while they were escaping from Apophis in the previous episode, Children of the Gods. The parasite starts taking control of this character, who’s named Kawalsky. The rest of Stargate Command, including …

I tuned into the latest Monk episode Friday expecting to find him working on a case that would bring him closer to solving Trudy’s murder. Instead, I was disappointed to learn that wouldn’t be the case.
However, the episode was definitely interesting.
You have two cases going on. One involves the …

Towards the end of the fourth season of Wagon Train, Denny Miller (then going by the name of Scott Miller) joined the cast as a regular. The Duke Shannon Story is his introduction to the show. The story begins with his grandfather, Henry Shannon, filling Charlie Wooster’s …

Even though I really thought I would stop watching the show House, I have nothing better to do Monday nights and have been catching some of the newer episodes.
For the most part, I have been pleasantly surprised. The episodes seemed like they were following the same basic format the …

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas is narrated by Kelsey Grammer. From 1999, it’s a trio of tales that entertain as well as teach children some lesson about Christmas and life.
The first story is Stuck on Christmas and focuses on Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Donald’s three rambunctious nephews. …

CSI Season 4 Episode 23- Blood Lines
This was an absolutely fantastic, yet a bit creepy episode. The greatest thing about it, was the information that we as viewers got to learn from it. And I have to say that this piece of medical fact make me feel a bit …

Centennial, the mini-series, is introduced to the audience by James Michener, the man who authored the novel on which the mini-series is based. It’s an easy and casual way to tell us what is in store.
1795 is when the story really begins with a brave and colorful Frenchman …

Star Trek: The Tholian Web is another very good episode. It’s one I have enjoyed from the very first time I saw it and which I never tire of seeing to this day. It has heart and drama, so that draws me in. Here are some …

One of the best shows of the entire That Girl series was this third season show called My Sister’s Keeper. I’ve remembered this episode from the very first time I saw it, and in fact, I remember some of the publicity from it when it originally aired.
The co-producer …

The first and most noticeable thing about That Girl: They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They? is that Bernie Kopell has also gone mod, which is something I’ve commented on with season four of That Girl. As of this episode, Kopell’s Jerry Bauman has long, extended sideburns and he has …

Strangely enough, the third season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer starts almost identical to the second season; with Buffy as far away from Sunnydale as possible. Of course, in the season premiere “Anne” she has reached the point where she feels the need to hide from her friends and …

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: I Love You Molly McGraw starts out with some animal angst, which I never enjoy watching. It’s Evan’s horse, Diablo, who develops a leg injury and might have to be put down. Then it’s new vet, Molly McGraw (Ann Dusenberry) who operates and …

Sometimes when I watch television, which is rare now of days when I have the internet for that, I like to see shows that they just don’t put on TV anymore. Living Single is definitely one of those shows that makes me feel nostalgic, like I just wish there …

There are all kinds of reality shows on today, and many are crime related. One of the series I’ve learned to enjoy over many of the others is Call 911, which airs on the Discovery ID channel.
The show uses actual 911 phones calls, recreations of incidents, and interviews …

I love this device. I waited for Canada to have an equivalent to TIVo and now that we do, I would never go back to normal television.
I love pausing and rewinding, recording my favourite shows and having both televisions hooked up to only one receiver (via UHF remote) is …

Forever is a new TV show that is featured on the ABC network. Given that I enjoyed the very first episode, I made sure I geared up and watched the second. Now, given that I pretty much had an idea on what the show will generally will be about, …

The Family Guy series is so far the best animated cartoon ever! This is just non-stop laughter. Even some of the quotes are almost impossible to stop laughing at. The flashbacks are super humorous also. I think those are the two factors Family Guy grasped completely; pauses and flashbacks. …

OK, I’ll admit, the That 70s Show episode “Career Day” was one of the funniest television programs I’ve seen today and one I wish I could simply re-wind and watch again.
This episode has the individual cast members following their parents around and learning about their careers; with some really …

Here Come the Brides: The Log Jam is a show that has moments that are fun, but it’s also one of the more frustrating episodes of this series for me. Basically, there haven’t been any proposals in Seattle recently when all of a sudden, Jeremy Bolt (Bobby Sherman) …

In M*A*S*H: Blood and Guts, the personnel of the 4077th are excited to meet U.N. correspondent Clayton Kibbee, played jovially by Gene Evans. Kibbee is there to write about blood donations and such. At first, even Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is pleased to meet him. Evans …

I too have aspirations of going to the CIA sometime in the near future…not that CIA, the Culinary Institute of America that is. But for 2 past students on the current season of the Top Chef Competition, things just didnt go down well at all. Pretty much, …

Abs-Cbn has just broadcasted a documentary film about Philippine’s malnutrition. The title is “Dalawang Mukha ng Malnutrisyon” or “The two faces of Malnutrition”. I know that even fat kids are not well nourished, but I did not realize that making your kids eat whatever they want can actually be …

As of recently, one of my favourite things to watch on TV has become the American version to the hit UK series, “Being Human.”
Like its UK counterpart, the series is a drama about three less than normal rommates living together in a house, where they strive to make their …

I tuned in “by accident” and started watching this show. I must say that it really is a guilty pleasure. I was happy to see that the women were somewhat “real” instead of a host of model looking women who we’re supposed to believe have …

This one is for the kids and the kids at heart. An animated series about a teenager who while cleaning his father’s ghost machine is accidentally and permanently changed into a half boy half ghost entity. By that I mean that the boy named Danny Fenton can at will …

The Beverly Hillbillies.

Granny is a real character. She is always cooking up batches of …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Darling Baby aired in December 1964 and continued the saga of the popular Darling family. Once again, I have to say that I am not a huge fan of this story arc, but it is quite popular with fans of this highly successful …

I really have one major thing to say about The Virginian: Vengeance Is the Spur. I like the Alias Smith and Jones remake better. Seriously, it’s the same show with minor changes. I actually remember back in the seventies reading about how if a show seemed …

The fifth episode of MacGyver’s second season is much better than the fourth one was. MacGyver: Final Approach opens with a neat bit of Mac being killed in a plane crash. Of course, he’s in a simulator, and he’s not thrilled when Pete tells him that he …

The Virginian: The Long Quest is one of those that is so hard to watch because of its poignancy. It’s a story of tragedy that really doesn’t have a winner, no matter how you look at it, because someone is going to end up on the short stick.
At …

Last night’s episode of Law & Order SVU was one that I think was kind of weak compared to what it could have been.
The episode “perverted” had Olivia being accused of murder; not only because her business card was found on the victim but because her DNA was found …

The Andy Griffith Show: The New Doctor, from season one, is quite entertaining.
The one thing that seems funny to me is that this show has dealt with new doctors in a lot of different ways, or should I say will deal with. There’s absolutely no consistency to it, …

Bad Girls Club is a reality show that comes on the Oxygen Channel Tuesdays at 10pm. The concept of the show is to place 7 self proclaimed “bad girls” into a house for a few months to learn to change some of the qualities that make themselves “bad …
