The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 15: Fresh Bones
We follow up an episode dealing with a Satanic cult with one that deals with voodoo. This episode could’ve very easily felt like a pale rehash, but it does enough differently that it is able to differentiate itself from its predecessor.
I wasn’t sure about this episode …
M*A*S*H: The Party
M*A*S*H: The Party is actually a very fun episode. It has a completely new plot that is exciting and touching. After a mail call where it’s suggested that B.J.’s wife write to Radar’s mom and Colonel Potter’s wife about jam and preserves, B.J. gets this idea to …

Since he has fairies who can grant him just about everything, Timmy keeps wishing …
Home Improvement
One of my favorite old Sitcoms of all time is Home Improvement. It was one of those shows, that even though it did have a very long run, it was not quite enough for me. I wish it had stayed on the air for a few more years, …
Channel 2: Harapan

Stargate SG-1: Stronghold
From the near perfect to ridiculousness, this is the path season nine of Stargate SG-1 has taken. In Stargate SG-1: Stronghold, there is one plot that is so unbelievable that it stunned me.
Mitchell has a friend who is dying. This guy was his competition, so it goes, …
Sea Hunt: River Treasure TV Show
Oh goodness, we are back in some South American unnamed country again. I really don’t like these episodes of Sea Hunt that take diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) to these locales. I want underwater adventures, and I refuse to believe that they couldn’t come up with more …
The Andy Griffith Show: A Deal Is a Deal TV Show

The Dean Martin Show: Dean Martin TV Show

The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Forecloses TV Show
This is another favorite from season one of The Andy Griffith Show. It’s a wonderful half hour of entertainment referred to as Andy Forecloses. There’s humor and drama both, as well as a whole lot of friendly warmth. I absolutely love this half hour of comedy.
One …
M*A*S*H: The Army-Navy Game
I’ve always liked M*A*S*H: The Army-Navy Game, even though I’m not a football fan at all. While the military is focused on the annual football game between the Army and Navy, the 4077th is focused on something else completely — an unexploded bomb that is in the middle …
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem

This episode by far is my favorite episode of Spongebob Square pants . Even as an adult I think that you can really enjoy and get into this show because he is funny and so darn cute. I started to watch Spongebob before any of my children …
Highway Patrol: Hostage Officer TV Show
The third season of the half hour police drama, Highway Patrol, continued on with its amazing 36th episode, entitled Hostage Officer. I do love the early days of television, in the fifties and sixties where TV seasons lasted this long, and even longer.
In the case of Hostage Officer from …

Days of Our Lives
I’ve been watching Days of Our Lives for years. Since I was a kid actually since daytime programming isn’t very child friendly. So after all these years of watching Days of Our lives I have to say I hate this show.
The actors are terrible. As with …
Ghost Hunters: Ghost of Buffalo Bill
I ended up staying up for the repeat showing of last night’s episode of Ghost Hunters; Ghost of Buffalo Bill. And, I have to confess, I ended up falling asleep during the second investigation (involving someone’s house) and can’t tell you how that investigation turned out. But, I’m guessing …
Spongebob: To love a Patty
Some episodes of Sponge Bob Squarepants are OK. Others are just downright gross.
The episode “To Love a Patty” falls into the latter category.
First, this is one of the stupidest episodes out there; and that’s of any show, not just this one. Spongebob makes a crabby patty that is so …
Star Trek (animated) TV Show
In 1973, after the live action had been off the air for several years, an animated version of Star Trek hit the Saturday morning lineup.

The Secret Life Of The American Teenager

M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky
B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) becomes one of the masses instead of a lone devoted soul when he cheats on his wife in M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky from season five. While the resolution is okay, I always thought it was a shame that they had this story. It’s just …
Law & Order Criminal Intent: Lonelyville
I’m a big fan of the Law & Order Criminal Intent series, but last night’s episode, Lonelyville, was a bit too much to swallow.
The premise of the show was good; a wannabe writer is getting drunk in a bar and is invited to participate in a threesome with two …
Pysch: Extradition from British Columbia
After being disappointed by the Monk Season Premiere, I was glad when Psych came on to save the day.

Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized
When it comes to season finales, or at least summer finales, you think the show Monk would leave its best episode for last, in an effort to keep you wanting more.
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized is not one of the best episodes I’ve seen.
Really, nothing about this episode is unique …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A New Man
Hey, look at this. Another Buffy the Vampire Slayer season and another episode revolving around her (19th) birthday. Doesn’t anyone else have a birthday on the show?
Once again, we also have to have some sort of problem going on during her birthday celebration. Seriously, can’t the girl just have …

Death Note Episode 19 begins with Masuda feeling irritated that no one takes him seriously on the Kira case and he decides to investigate Yatsuba, the company suspected of working with Kira, on his own under the guise of being Misa Amane’s manager.

Family Guy, The Series
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. …
Daytime TV: All My Children
Daytime television wouldn’t be the same if it didn’t include All My Children. All My Children has been a daytime tv staple in many people’s homes for many years. With characters like Erica Kane, Adam Chandler, Tad Martin and Liza Colby, Pine Valley is still just as interesting today …
