Surviving Sharks: Shark Week
Surviving Sharks is a show on the Discovery Channel in which a host does tests with sharks to determine how best to avoid being attacked or eaten by a shark when swimming or surfing. It started with tests to determine whether different types of sharks were more active feeders …
Diagnosis Murder: The Busy Body TV Show
Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) celebrates a birthday in Diagnosis Murder: The Busy Body from season two. What this really does is give the show a chance for some slapstick type comedy. This occurs when a policewoman shows up and slaps handcuffs on Mark, only she’s really …
Kim Possible
Kim Possible. This is a funny TV show. The lines are brilliant for what it is. I have gotten more than a few good chuckles out of this show … until reruns got to the point of ‘ew, change the channel to the news’. Anyway, I think Will Friedle …
High School Stories TV show
I have to admit that I was actually interested in watching this little TV show. This program features the real stories of high school students who have done pranks and have outrageous stories to share with the world. The show basically consists of Senior Week pranks in …
The Big Bang Theory
I love this show! This is my new favorite sit com!
I was actually waiting for the new season primarily because I wanted to see this show. And, I was a little worried that it wouldn’t live up to its promos, which seemed really funny. I needn’t have worried. Based …
Stargate SG1: Chain Rection Season 4, Episode 15
When General Hammond resigns after SG1 comes in hot from a mission, Jack isn’t buying the, “I’m tired of sending good people out to die,” rhetoric the General is saying. When General Hammond leave and Major General Bauer arrives and begins dismantling the team, Jack is pissed. …
Supersize Me
Supersize Me is an interesting documentary if you can catch it on TV. It brings a lot of things to light about how McDonald’s made getting junk food easy and helped create a nation of obese people. Not sayinng everyone’s obese, but you know what I mean.
This guy ate …
Orchestra United: Episode 4 TV Show
This is the big moment, the big show, for Orchestra United. It’s just the fourth episode, but apparently, that’s all there is. I’m just stunned that an entire year has gone by since 75 high schoolers were brought together to form the band. For that, we’ve …
Outlander (romance drama television series)
With all the hype surrounding the premiere of the television series Outlander, I honestly thought that it would have been something that I might enjoy. This was especially after I discovered that it would be set between post World War II and that the plot would contain elements of time …
The Office: The Convention
The plot of this season The Office has been moving quickly; stretching away from the basic formula, which succeeded in the seasons before but had began to get old. It is still the same show, but with many new elements.
In The Convention we see little of Jim’s new office …
Lego Star Wars: Wii game
Lego Star Wars is a fun and exciting game for the Wii. I bought this game for my kids as a present and they have had hours of fun with it. I also love that I can play it with them and have just as much fun. Every time …
Miranda Episode One
This new sitcom, starring and written by central star Miranda Hart, promises itself as something of a throwback to the classic 70s sitcom, the type where crude but allowable jokes were plenty and cardboard cutout characters were commonplace.
While this show is only starting out, things don’t look good. …
The Young Rebels: Stalemate TV Show
Stalemate is another good episode of the 1970 drama, The Young Rebels, which starred a magnificent young cast which included Rick Ely, Louis Gossett Jr., and Phillippe Forquet. Hilary Thompson is also on board, playing Ely’s girlfriend on the show.
I enjoy this show because it’s a theme that, …
The Virginian: Old Cowboy TV Show
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 Flintstones: The Flintstone Flyer
My daughter has never seen the Flintstones before so I recently rented the first season of the show on DVD. We watched the first episode last night, the Flintstone Flyer and it was somewhat interesting.
This is before the characters were fully established but it managed to be entertaining. Barney …
Project Runway Season 3 Finale
After what seemed to be a very long season of Project Runway, I’m happy to say the season finale was last night. And, it made the last few weeks of torture worth it.
Jeffrey was named the winner, which means the judges finally picked the right winner. His outfits throughout …
USA’s “Covert Affairs” pilot episode
The summer definitely leaves me with too much free time on my hands: this results in checking out TV show I certainly would pass over otherwise, including the new USA offering, spy action drama and romance show, entitled “Covert Affairs”. The title plays on the importance of the sex …
Greys Anatomy
Greys Anatomy aired its new fall season premiere for 2009. The 2-hour event was not a let down to Grey fans. True to rumors, one of the beloved characters was indeed killed off the show. I will not spoil and say who but if you follow the show then …
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part One
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part One is an episode that has some strengths, but unfortunately, some weaknesses as well. Let me first start with what I did not like because these are problems that bother me each and every time I watch the episode. First of all, the …
That Girl: They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They?
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 …
The Susan Talk Show
The first time I saw local talk show Susanwas a few years ago when it was advertising on TvJ. I can’t remember exatly what that episode was about either, but I know that it was not the theme of the episode that interested me as much as the thought …
House: Saviors
Last night’s episode of House, entitled “Saviors” was actually one of the better House episodes I’ve seen in recent history.
This, of course, is the episode that takes place one week after the shocker involving Kutner’s suicide and the team has to figure out the cause of an environmentalist’s sudden …
Burn Notice: Bad Breaks
Burn Notice: Bad Breaks is a so-so episode in my book. It’s not one that really zings my interest button, but there is some decent acting and a somewhat interesting plot. It might be more fun for regular fans of the show, people who watched it during …
Teach - Tony Danza: Homesick TV Show
Teach - Tony Danza: Homesick is the fourth effort into telling the story about this well known performer teaching for a year at a high school in Philadelphia. Danza had a lot of guts to take on this project, and I’m hoping that by the end of the …
Thriller: Cousin Tundifer TV Show
From the second season of Thriller comes a little episode called Cousin Tundifer with Edward Andrews playing Miles Tundifer. This is somewhat of an eerie comedy, murder with a humorous twist. It’s a tale that brings the past to the present, from time to time, that is.
Here …
Adam-12: Log 25: Indians
This review is for Adam-12’s third season episode of Log 25: Indians. One of the major things that stand out in this episode for me is simply the characteristics of Webb-TV. Webb-TV is what is used to refer to Jack Webb TV shows, primarily Dragnet, Adam-12, and …
Notorious
Notorious is an hour long program that airs each and every week on The Biography Channel. I try to watch Notorious, although I can not say that I am able to catch this program every time it airs. I like Notorious because I learn about people that I had …
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 18 Bluff
This was a very interesting episode, although it seemed a little bit strange. Somehow it felt like the events were rushed a bit and that things were all of a sudden going to well for the team of prisoners in the story, after such a long time, where things …
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 …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 4
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 4 begins with Ed and Al burning down their house and beginning their search for a way to get their bodies back. They board a train and make a stop on their way to Central. While resting they stop a purse snatcher, and learn …
Friends season 1 episode 1
It was a perfect beginning of the season, and also for the series. From this episode the new era has began, and this show ran for 10 years. The episode began showing that all of the friends are in the coffee house better known in the series as the …
I Love Lucy (TV series) - Hollywood Anniversary (Episode)
“Hollywood Anniversary” is an episode of “I Love Lucy”. This episode takes place while the gang is in Hollywood. The plot of this episode is a little hard to believe because in it, Ricky is unable to remember the date of his marriage anniversary. The reason I say it’s …
Sony Bravia HDTV
Ever since our old TV started to show signs of breaking down I had been thinking for a replacement. I finally decided to buy a new one last month, a Sony Bravia HDTV. It was a 22 inch flat LCD, model KLV BX300. The original price was 1000 Saudi …
The Vampire Diaries TV Series Season 1
I have read the book series of The Vampire Diaries by LJ Smith, and was expecting the TV series to be based on it. The story is about a love triangle among a girl called Elena and vampire brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore as they try to save their …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Farmer Takes a Wife TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Farmer Takes a Wife presents Andy and Barney with the task of helping ‘Big’ Jeff Pruitt find himself a bride, something he is anxious to do. Naturally, Jeff is pretty outlandish and finding a woman to be his wife isn’t going to be …
So You Think You Can Dance - One of Six Voted Off TV Show
Well, actually, the title is a misnomer, and I’m not sure that I agree with the decision for the One of Six Voted Off episode of So You Think You Can Dance.
The five dancing competitors opened the show with an entertaining, Bob Fosse number. I liked this routine, …
Ron Howard: 50 Years in Film
Turner Classic Movies has produced a wonderfully simple biography on Ron Howard, known to some as Opie on “The Andy Griffith Show” and as Richie on “Happy Days”, and well respected as one of Hollywood’s leading movie directors. It’s called “Ron Howard: 50 Years in Film.”
There’s nothing glitzy …
The Simpsons TV Episode: The Bob Next Door
I haven’t watched re-runs of the Simpsons in a while and finally had a chance to catch the one that always airs at 6 p.m. on weekdays last night.
This time around, it was a newer episode I hadn’t seen before; The Bob Next Door. Since it was new, I …
The Twilight Zone: He’s Alive TV Show
From January 1963, viewers were presented with The Twilight Zone: He’s Alive, and frankly, I don’t even know what to say about it. I don’t like it, and I never have. It’s unpleasant to watch, and while there is a message, I just don’t care to wait …
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 …

In M*A*S*H: The Red/White Blues, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) examines the base commander, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) for his required annual examination and discovers Potter has high blood pressure. This would result in Potter being sent home early. Since the test doesn’t need to be done …
CSI Season 5 Episode 22- Weeping Willows
This is a great example of why the show is so amazing. That was fantastic episode and I enjoyed it very much. It really kept me on the edge and I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen. And because the story was so personal, you could …
Smallville: Bride
“Bride” is the episode of Smallville originally airing on November 20, 2008 on the CW. It was the best episode of the year, easily! Now we must wait for almost two months before the next new episodes air in January.
“Bride” was great from beginning to end. …
Sun Direct
Who says India is moving forward to a digital era, many new companies have come up with some very luring offers for the digital cable service and I too was convinced into throwing away the monthly cable subscription and buying Sun direct for some better experience at cheaper price.
I …
Highway Patrol: Blood Money TV Show
Blood Money is the tenth episode of the fourth year of Highway Patrol, a show that starred Broderick Crawford as chief of police Dan Mathews. Also appearing regularly this final season of the series is William Boyett as Sergeant Ken Williams. He always brings personality to the …
Inspector Gadget (TV Show) - The Amazon (Episode)
“The Amazon” is an episode that’s from the “Inspector Gadget” television series. This is sort of a special episode as it features the man that installed the gadgets that Inspector Gadget now utilizes, Professor Von Slickstein. Dr. Claw kidnaps the scientist and hauls him off to the Amazon Jungle …
CSI Season 2 Episode 9 And Then There Were None
It was definitely not one of the best episodes in the season and not in the show. Although the course of investigation precedes as usual: new facts discovered, many more are unknown, different theories and possibilities, going back and forth on finding the criminal… I find that the writers …
Anugerah Band
Anugerah Band is a local competition in my local channel that had already been finished its series. The winner band of this competition is Rancour, a band made of several youths and they could sing and play musical instruments. Not that bad they are actually, but on the …
Dead Like Me: Dead Girl Walking
Dead Like Me: Dead Girl Walking is the second episode of this rather offbeat drama from the Showtime Channel. It’s all about Georgia ‘George’ Lass, who was killed and is now undead and a grim reaper.
This basically furthers the storyline. George wonders what might happen if she …
