The Twilight Zone: The Parallel TV Show
From 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Parallel is an intriguing hour of entertainment. It’s a show I enjoy quite a bit. The story dabbles in the concept of parallel universes or alternate dimensions or alternate realities. There are fine lines that separate the differences of these, …
MacGyver: Thin Ice

Now …
Project Runway: Race to the Finish TV Show
Project Runway: Race to the Finish had a challenge that involved L’oreal makeup, specifically eye shadow duos. The challenge was attached to a word like ‘bright’ or ‘velvet’ and it was to be a high fashion runway look.

Person of Interest (crime drama television series)
Person of Interest is a crime drama television series that was introduced to me by a friend of mine. I remember that when the person first described it to me, the premise of the series seemed interesting enough to the point where I was very eager to watch it. Then …
Trintiy Blood episode 15
The Night Lords arc is the longest arc on Trinity Blood. Period. There has been no other arc yet that holds the viewer in awe, fear, and horror is such a contemptible light, as such I have not seen before. This is Trinity Blood episode 15: “The Night Lords …
Hogan’s Heroes: One Army at a Time
Well, that was a somewhat interesting episode of Hogan’s Heroes that was on at lunch today; “One Army at a Time.”
Basically, in this episode, they are trying to blow up a Nazi bridge. But, they are interrupted as they are making their way there and, because he is dressed …

Supernatural Season 4
I’ve been a die-hard fan of Supernatural for four years now, watching it religiously since it first started in 2005. It originally attracted me by offering several hour-long, semi-related horror stories. While the story has since deviated from the original premise, delving deeper into the characters’ lives over the …
The X-Files Squeeze Episode
I thought the introduction for this particular episode of the popular 1990s American television show “The X-Files” was very creepy. I’m not sure if that was because I was watching it while I was at home alone, or because I was watching it recently online and not on television. …
John Doe: Past Imperfect TV show
John Doe: Past Imperfect is a little strange on the surface. While this series continues to hold my interest, elements of it aren’t as strong as I’d like. For one thing, star Dominic Purcell tends to overact, especially during intense scenes. For me, it feels like …
Full Metal Alchemist: Show
Full metal Alchemist is an excellent show by Funimation. I’m literally getting chills just thinking about it.
The story is about 2 boys who study an ancient science-like art called alchemy. Alchemy can deconstruct and reconstruct matter. The story is a great concept. The main phrase that they use …
Merlin’s Apprentice (Hallmark Entertainment) 2006
Merlin’s Apprentice is not a sequel to the original 1998 Hallmark production,Merlin,which also starred Sam Neil in the title role and Miranda Richardson in the supporting cast. The 1998 Merlin is one of the few film interpretations of the Authurian legend that I like,and I also have always …
Jeremiah: The Touch
For me, Jeremiah: The Touch felt like a Stargate SG-1 reunion. I realize that shows filmed in Vancouver tend to use the same actors, but sometimes it just reeks of a certain cast. The Touch featured a number of performers who had been on SG-1 and every …
Jail (MyATL program)
There seems to be an influx of programs on television today that focus on crime and criminals. This one focuses on the actual jail experience. This is a nice twist because most reality shows center on what goes on prior to the crime occurring, or while …
The Simpsons Season 7 Episode 10
It is The Simpsons 138 episode and they have named it Spectacular Episode. Basically this episode accounts for all the previous episodes of The Simpsons when they featured on the Tracy Ullman show. I must say, the animation has improved a lot. Compared to what it was, which was …

John Doe: Psychic Connection TV show
The gore sneaks in again during John Doe: Psychic Connection. The show isn’t as bloody as many of its contemporaries, but when they do decide to show it, they tend to linger, and that’s what they do here when John Doe (Dominic Purcell) jerks away from his violent …
Numb3rs TV show
I really enjoy this show - I like the idea of using statistics and other forms of math to solve major crimes, and actually have a friend of mine who works in crime profiling, which I think is pretty cool.
The relationship between the characters is that Don Epps, an …
Gilligan’s Island - Gilligan Meets Jungle Boy TV Show
Ok, I was in for another treat here. The episode is one of the best because Kurt Russell guest acts as a 15 year old jungle boy. My, I can not believe how young he is in this show. And Gilligan finally finds someone more playful and active as …

High School Musical 3 (2008)

How I Mey Your Mother Season 5 Epsiode 15
Whenever I watch how I Met Your Mother I get a feeling that the show isn’t quite right but it’s entertaining enough to watch for half an hour. This episode was no different.
There were a couple of storylines going on in this episode. Robin is fighting an …
Due South: A Likely Story
The best thing about Due South: A Likely Story is the story that Constable Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) tells both in the first and the last scenes. Gross is a good storyteller, and I understand that he’s a folk singer of some sort, so that may explain why …
Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 3 TV Show
Week 3 of Dancing with the Stars - Australia began with a big of a joke when they introduced one of the bottom 2 from last week as Jason Stevens, who had actually been voted off last week. Some caught it, but I’m not sure every did. …

The final part bring the story of Devices and Desires to its conclusion. This is the big moment when Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) solves the puzzle and the viewers get all of the answers. This 1991 six-part story was best on the best-selling novels of P.D. …
Thriller: God Grante That She Lye Stille TV Show

Cougartown Season One Episode One
There is one word to describe the pilot of the television series Cougartown and that is awkward.
I’m not sure what i was expecting in a half hour sitcom about older women that prey on younger men but I know t wasn’t this.
The show is about forty something Jules who …
TV: Weeds, Season 6
The average fan of “Weeds,” tangled in the murky abyss of a dyspeptic and almost certainly unnecessary sixth season of the Showtime dramedy, will feel about a trillion miles away from everything/anything that made the show enjoyable to begin with. But this is OK, …
The Complete Prisoner DVD set

M*A*S*H: Officers Only
I suppose someone behind the scenes decided that it was time to add a new set to the 4077th compound. Most scenes have traditionally been in the operating room, the Swamp, Henry’s office, including the clerk’s area, Houlihan’s tent, the showers, and the mess tent. With almost …

Big Bang Theory Season 5 Episode 9 (TV series)

The Virginian: It Tolls for Thee
The Virginian: It Tolls for Thee is from the first season of this western series which had the unique honor of being 90-minutes in length when airing. Overall, it’s not a series I’m that crazy about, but some episodes aren’t too bad.
In It Tolls for Thee, guest star …

The Twilight Zone: Valley of the Shadow TV Show

Ed Nelson is the primary guest star, playing a reporter named Philip Redfield who passes through a small town. …
Arrested Development TV series
The television series “Arrested Development” is not to be confused with the music group from the nineteen nineties with the same name. In fact I even heard on VH1 that the television series was almost sued by the music group after one of their members was watching the superbowl …
Highway Patrol: Girl Bandit TV Show
The reason that Highway Patrol: Girl Bandit is such a success is its primary guest star, Jeanne Cooper. Cooper has a commanding presence, something that is still evident today as she continues to be a major force on the daytime drama, The Young and the Restless. In …
Lee Nelsons Well Good Show BBC3
A couple of months ago I saw an advert for a new t.v show. It was Lee Nelsons Well Good Show. It was to be shown on BBC3 and my initial impressions, without even watching the show was that it looked like a complete waste of time. A man …
