The Santa in the Slush
Normally, when I watch an episode of Bones, I’m impressed with it. Last night was one of the exceptions.
Quite honestly, for an episode that received so much hype from Fox, you would think it would have been better.
First, let�s start off with the kiss that was supposed to be …
That Girl - Season Five DVD set
The That Girl - Season Five DVD set is a nice conclusion to the series. With it, each and every That Girl episode has been placed on DVD and available for fans to view anytime they wish. As a fan, I like that. I plan on …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.3: Shadow of Malevolence
The third episode of the first season, “Shadow of Malevolence”, picks up from where “Rising Malevolence” left off in the ‘Malevolence’ series of episodes and follows Anakin Skywalker as he leads a platoon of long-range Y-wing bombers in an engaging strike on General Grevious’ battle spacecraft, the Malevolence, with …
CHiPs: Bio-Rhythms
Tige Andrews and Katherine Cannon return in CHiPs: Bio-Rhythms. The two appeared in an early episode from this second season playing a father and daughter trucker. I have some issues with the development of this story.
In the opening, Jon and Ponch are overlooking the freeway and Jon …
Family Guy: Business Guy
Even though we rarely watch new episodes of Family Guy (we usually want to screen them before our daughter sees them), my wife wanted to watch last night’s episode because Hugh Laurie guest starred in a spoof of his well-known Gregory House character; a person who doesn’t play by …
Mr. Monk is Up All Night
I had thought I had seen all the recent Monk episodes until I caught one as a re-run Friday Night.
Mr. Monk is Up All Night was actually one of the better recent episodes I’ve seen because he doesn’t just have one mystery to solve; he has two separate …
Faerie Tale Theater: Goldilocks and the Three Bears
My daughter ended up watching another episode of the 1980s show Faerie Tale Theater this past weekend; Goldilocks and the Three Bears. And, much like other episodes of the show, this one proved to be pretty entertaining for pretty much everyone in our family.
They kept the same basic plot …
The Twilight Zone: The Howling Man TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Howling Man is a show I just can’t stand and never could. I watch it as little as possible, in fact. To put it simply, I don’t like this one at all. It’s one of the episodes of this science fiction series …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Fountain of Youth
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Fountain of Youth gives John Bly haters a chance to smile. Or does it? That’s a question that we’ll have to wait and see, but the fun part is watching Bly be foiled, right when he thinks he’s about to get …
King Of Queens
King of Queens is only shown in reruns now and I’m thankful that it is. I was working too much during the original run of the series to get to watch it all but now I watch it faithfully Monday through Friday at 5 and 5:30pm and at 7 …
Psych (tv series)
I started watching the television series “Psych” as soon as it premiered on the cable television channel USA. I had seen the trailers for it, and I thought that the plot made it seem like it would be very comical. When I started watching it, I found out that …
The Simpsons: See Homer Run
Well, that was an episode of the Simpsons I haven’t seen before; See Homer Run. It was an OK episode but wasn’t the greatest though.
Basically, it’s Father’s Day and Bart gets Homer an amazing gift (I like how Marge tells Bart it isn’t from him if he doesn’t pay …
M*A*S*H: Sons and Bowlers
M*A*S*H: Sons and Bowlers from the tenth season has both good comedy and good drama within its thirty minutes. The humorous part deals with Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Potter) sulking after the 4077th lost a softball game to the Marines. He just never wins against the Marine …
Entourage season 2 episode 5 Neighbors
In this episode we see Eric in action, so I guess this episode message is: Everything can happen if you help it happen. I agree with this statement, if you sit around all the day just waiting for something to happen you can miss a bunch of great opportunities. …
Law & Order SVU TV Episodes: Counterfeit
Synopsis: The SVU detectives have to prove a cop is responsible for a rape/murder of a pharmaceutical lab assistant.
What I liked about this episode: I think one of the cool things about this episode is how it manages to jerk you in a number of different directions with a …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 12 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 12 actually has two stories in it. The first is about Tachikoma, one of the robots, running away and the other story is about Section 9 looking into s msn’s disappearance.
Although this wasn’t one of my favorite episodes, I still …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 10: Vincent and the Doctor
Feeling bad about what happened to Rory, the Doctor makes an effort to be extra nice to Amy. Of course, she has no idea why he’s doing this, but that’s besides the point. He takes her to a museum where they marvel at the works of Van …
Emperor’s New School: Ramon’s a Crowd
One way to tell a series is starting to turn the corner a bit and is moving toward the final episodes is with the addition of new characters to the main cast. The show Emperor’s New School did this in its second and final season with the addition of …
True Blood 3.02 “Beautifully Broken”
The second episode of True Blood’s third season delivers on almost all the promises of the premiere, and is definitely worth watching —“ especially since the action, rather than unravelling slowly, as most series would have it in their second episode, starts off at a break-neck pace, with barely …
Stargate SG-1: The Serpent’s Venom
Stargate SG-1: The Serpent’s Venom has one of the best Jack and Daniel moments ever. It’s a silly little bit, but it’s priceless.
With Teal’c away on a mission, Jacob arrives and solicits the team’s help to stop the successful negotiation of a treaty between two of the System …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ethics
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ethics is really a very enjoyable and thoughtful episode that effectively explores two sensitive topics and presents both sides of each topic equally: assisted suicide and testing experimental procedures on patients that, in one case, is willing, and the other case, too injured …
ASAP XV Sunday Afternoon Show
love watching ASAPxv every sunday afternoon. My weekend isn’t just complete without watching this lively show.
What I like most about ASAP is the rapport among all the hosts. You could see and feel from the way they interact on cam that they really are a family. The hosts …
Emperor’s New School: Prisoner of Kuzcoban
OK, if you watch any of the Harry Potter movies or read the books, you’ll realize the Emperor’s New School episode “Prisoner of Kuzcoban” is based loosely on one of the series.
But, I think I liked this episode better than the Harry Potter movie.
This is a funny one because …
The Twilight Zone: A Piano in the House TV Show
To me, The Twilight Zone: A Piano in the House is a little on the morose and macabre side of life. It’s eerie in an unpleasant way, and it’s just not one that I enjoy very much. That’s not to say it’s not crafted well, but …
Burn Notice: Lesser Evil
The season finale of Burn Notice was an episode called Lesser Evil, which guest starred Michael Shanks, famous as Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1. This was Shanks fourth appearance on the USA hit drama, and he was awesome. It was the conclusion of an arc that was extremely …
Soundstage Presents Josh Groban TV Show
Popular singer Josh Groban was the featured performer on this rendition of the PBS series Soundstage. It’s a great showcasing of talent in a much more intimate setting than we often get to see. Actually, this is something Groban addresses after his opening song. It’s a …
A Man Called Hawk: Choice of Chance
The first thing I noticed about A Man Called Hawk: Choice of Chance was the opening scene with a church choir singing the song, “Elijah Rock.” I absolutely adore that song. We used to sing in choir way back in junior high school. I really haven’t …
Run’s House (MTV TV show)
Now this is a reality show that I find really interesting. I like it because of the participants. Run, of RUN DMC is the father figure in this show. He’s a Reverend who is very positive with this children, and instills really good values in them. …
Highway Patrol: The Truckers TV Show
This April 1958 episode of Highway Patrol called The Truckers might be a little misleading with its title. It’s not about truckers as we think of them today; in fact, it’s really not about them much at all. The real focus is a husband and wife team …
Due South: Pizzas and Promises
I have to keep reminding myself that Diefenbaker the wolf is a regular and isn’t going to have a sad ending, but I have to admit it’s hard. I’m just a huge animal lover and can’t stand seeing anything bad or sad happen. Due South: Pizzas and Promises …
Emergency!: Weird Wednesday
Emergency!: Weird Wednesday is all about having one of those crazy days when nothing but odd things happen. It begins for Johnny and Roy with a woman parachutist who gets stuck in a tree. She’s undaunted by it all, though, and ready to go right back at …
Lost TV Show
Lost is a television series on every Wednesday evening at 10 pm central on CTV. It gets better and better each time I see it. The mystery involved in this story is so intriguing, it reveals a different scenario for each character every episode. Basically, the passengers of an …
Masquerade: Winnings
Masquerade: Winnings just could be my favorite episode of this series. I love the concept of the plot and the guest cast was terrific. Basically, the recruits, all just average American citizens, are brought together because they are all high rollers, or were. Poker and other …
Highway Patrol: Framed Cop TV Show
Framed Cop aired in Highway Patrol’s fourth season on television and was in fact the 21st episode. I actually enjoyed this February 1959 outing that showed us another side of the criminal system and how it can impact the police department.
In the course of getting revenge, Sergeant Ken …
Hawaii Five-0: Pilot TV Show
Hawaii Five-0’s pilot episode from September 2010 is designed to introduce us to the new team. This is not a replica of the Jack Lord series; it’s a re-think. It’s very important to go into this series with an open mind. If you are determined to …
It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
I have seen the Halloween special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” more times than I can count considering it’s been on the air since before I was born. But, last night was the first time my oldest daughter got a chance to watch it. She loved it.
Let’s put …
Siren’s Song (Starhunter Episode)
There is no denying that Starhunter is a show with a lot of heart. That is one of the reasons that I like it so much. Sure, they didn’t have the highest budget to work with or even the greatest talent, but you could tell that they …
Katie Holmes
When I was a teenager Dawson’s Creek was a phenomenon and Katie Holmes was getting a lot of attention.
One the show I very much liked her. She was sweet but not sweet enough to be a walkover. In fact she was a character most girls related to …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Great Wide World Over There TV Show
I was very surprised that I enjoyed The Ray Bradbury Theater: Great Wide World Over There as much as I did. This is a really quiet, unassuming half hour from October 1992. The cable show starred Tyne Daly as Cora Gibbs, Bill Johnson as her husband, Tom …
Amanda Peet on Ellen
Amanda Peet on Ellen is super humble, super gracious and definitely amazing. If I were to grow in my mature years, I would so want to be like her; all composed and having the love of life is so evident in this interview that she had with Ellen. …
The boondocks season 1
Looking for a hilarious adult humor cartoon with political undertones? Try the boondocks season 1 on dvd. This cartoon is featured on adult swim on MTV, and is a little raunchy, rude and crude. It is definitely not for the easily offended.
This cartton is about a black family that …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Terror on Dinosaur Island TV Show
From 1965, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Terror on Dinosaur Island is the 14th show of this second year on the air. The series stars Richard Basehart as Seaview creator, Admiral Harriman Nelson, and David Hedison, who has always been my favorite performer from this program, …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 11
Emerald Point N.A.S., the 11th of 22 episodes, has some odd reactions in it compared to the attitudes we’ve seen in previous episodes.
Celia Mallory (Susan Dey) didn’t want to be connected to the Navy, yet she dumps her husband Jack Warren (Charles Frank) for Simon Adams (Richard Dean Anderson), …
The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew is one of those shows that blends television with the surreal, not just as the theme for a series but for the half-hour drama being watched. It stars Larry Blyden as the title character. He’s a western star who likes …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four: Skill Crane
Mr. Krabs decides one day that he needs to bring something into his restaurant that people would enjoy that would bring in more money since he is so money hungry. He decides that a skill crane would be the best thing because all the kids would want to play …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Pied Piper
The Pied Piper episode of Bring ‘Em Back Alive isn’t about the old fairytale,though I wish it were. The setting for this show is 1939 Malaya. I may have actually seen this episode before, or else this is a retread of another show I’ve seen. I …
The Feminist and the Fuzz movie
Back in its day, The Feminist and the Fuzz was quite the made-for-TV movie, its topic relevant to its era. Back in 1971, women’s lib and equality was a huge subject for debate. Though serious and often dramatic, The Feminist and the Fuzz was a comedy surrounding …
Kara no Kyoukai anime
Hello,
What attracted me to this anime was the music. Composer Yuki Kajiura together with Kalafina’s vocals, the combination is pretty much magic. Upon hearing this, you can feel the supernatural theme that acts as an extension of the anime, thus giving people a hint of what the anime …
Spongebob squarepants
I love Spongebob. This is the perfect t.v. show for young, old, fat, skinny, smart, dumb, ANYONE. Everyone will love this show. Once you see that yellow sponge once than you cant stop watching it. His high pitched giggle, sense of humor, and friends make …
