TV Reviews
The Brady Bunch
I grew up watching “The Brady Bunch” and probably know the plot of every joyously corny episode. The great thing is that, due to the advent of cable television, other generations are able to enjoy this show, too, and I can tune in and satisfy my need for some …
Best Evidence Caught on Tape: Ghosts (2008)
Best Evidence Caught on Tape: Ghosts is an hour long 2008 documentary which examines many examples of footage which purportedly has captured an image of a ghost. Giving their commentaries and opinions are various experts in the paranormal who are sympathetic to the idea of ghosts and the …
King of the Lost World
I have no idea why I decided to watch King of the Lost World on the Science Fiction channel last night, probably because there wasn’t much on. However, I have to say it was one of the stupidest movies I’ve ever seen.
When I watched King of the Lost World, …
Peep Show
This is such an amazing program, not really one for the mainstream but if you like alternative humor then this is for you.
The way its filmed is extremely clever as if viewed through the eyes of the person talking(or listening) and centers around flat mates Mark and Jez.
Its now …
Dancing with the Stars: S11, Wk 2 Performance TV Show
For the second week of the current season of Dancing with the Stars, the stars danced either the quick step or the jive. Note, I don’t always agree with the judges, especially these three who I feel now pick favorites early and comment and score appropriately. Following …
Star Trek: The Enterprise Incident TV Show
Star Trek: The Enterprise Incident is a story wherein the Enterprise crosses into the Neutral Zone to face off with the Romulans. It’s actually a secret mission that Kirk and Spock are on. It seems the Romulans now have a cloaking device, and Starfleet wants it.
The result …
Adam 12 - Log 174: Loan Sharks
The third season of the great police drama Adam-12 began in September 1970 with Log 174: Loan Sharks. The first thing that’s really noticeable is the new introduction. This is the one that ends with the police car rolling into a lot right towards the viewer and …
Charmed Season 1 DVD
The TV Show Charmed is now on DVD. I have a tendency to do everything backwards. To learn thing backwards. And I actually started with Season 8 of Charmed. I had watched a few episodes off and on through-out the run of Charmed on the WB. But never …
A Jetson’s Christmas Carol
We’ve been watching a lot of Christmas specials on TV the past couple of days and came across one I hadn’t seen before; even though it has been out for some time.
At first, I thought A Jetson’s Christmas Carol would end up being a predictable and boring story. I …
Shaw Digital TV in Surrey, Canada
I just switched to this service today, November 2, 2010. Although I have been with Shaw Cable for about three years now, I felt that it was about time to switch to digital TV programming to see how it works.
So I went to the Shaw Cable office which …
Tila Tequila
Tila Tequila is a reality show which has now had two seasons. Warning: Spoilers; The first season bobby won, but he could not deal with her fame, so they had to let it go. The second season, she chose Kristy, who then did not want her, so instead of …
John Doe: Illegal Alien TV show
Normally, I tend to enjoy astronaut and space stories, and I do this one, but not as much as I hoping when I realized that somehow or another the space program would figure into this episode of John Doe which is called Illegal Alien.
>From March 2003, no one knows …
That Girl: Two for the Money
As the series winds down, That Girl gave us one last typical episode in the name of Two for the Money. In the story, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) is on a modeling assignment at the racetrack. We get to see her doing all kinds of poses and …
Wagon Train: The Whipping
The Whipping episode of Wagon Train focused more on the Bill Hawks character, played by Terry Wilson. The character is background much of the time. Wilson was on the show forever, but was overshadowed by Scott ‘Denny’ Miller as Duke Shannon and later by Robert Fuller as …
Ghost Hunters: Ghostly House Guest
Well, I’m almost through all the season 3 episodes of Ghost Hunters and have to say I really haven’t been too impressed with the so-called evidence they are collecting.
The one we watched last night, Ghostly House Guest, had some potential. There was a house that was supposedly being haunted by …
CSI Season 1 Episode 20 Sounds of Silence
Just as expected of this great show, it was a really fun and interesting episode. Aside from the investigation, there was some social message as well, but I felt like it didn’t really work well. I think it was a just a little bit over the top as the …
Stargate SG-1: Holiday
One of the most riveting episodes in season 2 of Stargate SG-1 is called Holiday. It’s a standout episode for Michael Shanks, who not only plays his usual character of Doctor Daniel Jackson, but also the part of Ma’chello, an aged and infirmed inventor of things to defeat …
Grey’s Anatomy
Grey’s Anatmony with Ellen Pompeo is a must watch show. I have to be in front of my television every Thursday night at exactly 8p.m. for Grey’s Anatomy. I must admit that I am addicted to watching the staff at Seattle Grace go through their drama in the operating …
Highway Patrol: Policewoman TV Show
Season three of Highway Patrol featured a show titled simply Policewoman. This 27th program of the year had a new twist that I really enjoyed quite a bit. The action in the first portion of the show is featured away from the normal cast that includes Broderick …
The Twilight Zone: The Midnight Sun TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Midnight Sun is a neat little outing for this series, mostly because of the terrific twist that takes place at the end. I don’t watch this one a lot so if enough time has gone by, sometimes I forget and end up being surprised.
The …
Eureka Seven episode 41
At the core of the most holy shrine, there lies an single flower, no an lotus bud that floats on a lake with an romantic intent forever more. This is Eureka Seven episode 41 “Acerperiance 3″, a story as deep and more romantic than the fragile bonds of time …
Midsomer Murders: A British TV Series
Once in a while I would sit down to a British TV show and enjoy myself for a few hours. I find British shows to be interesting, even though it starts a little bit slow, but slowly becomes very riveting as the story unfolds. I like them for the …
House: Epic Fail
Last night was another new episode of House; one that sets up his return to being a doctor.
After getting out of the mental institution, he decides to quit because he feels being a doctor is what led to him becoming an addict. He ends up taking up cooking instead …
Centennial - an epic mini-series
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 …
Highway Patrol: License Plates TV Show
The 29th episode of Highway Patrol’s first season was a nice show called License Plates. I say nice because I really enjoyed it. It entertained me and brought me smiles, which I appreciated. That’s mainly because of the interaction between California Highway Patrol Chief of Police …
NCIS: Black Water Season 2, Episode 11
“Black Water” was one of my favorite episode of NCIS. After all, it was trademark NCIS - it had a little humor, a little action, an interesting case to try and solve and a lot of team interaction. The perfect mix and what made NCIS the number …
Jon and Kate Plus 8
This is a very entertaining show that I discovered by accident about a year and a half ago. I was tired of the horrible shows on television and was looking for something different. That’s when I saw those cute adorable faces. They were the Gosselin sextuplets and they were …
Friends Season One - The one with the birth
It is time for Carol to give birth to Ross’s baby, but all Ross and Susan can seem to do is argue about who is going to help Carol with the birth more. Ross feels like he should be in a big part of it because after all it …
White Collar Season 1 finale
Well, last night was the season 1 finale of the show White Collar. Either that, or it was the fall finale, I’m not really sure. Either way, it was pretty decent.
Basically, you have Neil being framed for robbing a jewelry store and, since there is no proof he didn’t …
Entourage season 2 episode 4 An Offer Refused
Although this show is all about glam and luxury of the life in Hollywood, in this episode we see that it is not only about those things. I never realised that an actor doesn’t need only his good looks and acting skills but also a good manager who knows …
House: The Jerk
Finally, a patient that is so annoying, it makes House look like a saint. The episode “The Jerk” was actually quite an interesting episode considering he has a dying patient, doesn’t know why the teenager is dying and has to deal with someone who is such a jerk, you …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Deep Cover for Batman
There’s just so much in this episode to love. For the first time that I can recall, we actually get to see ALL the heroes working together. Ok, it’s their villainous counterparts from a parallel dimension, but we still get to see a full team as opposed …
South Park: The Coon
South Park has gone to great lengths lately to write satire pieces on current events and trends. This episode, entitled “The Coon”, follows Cartman dressing as a Batman like superhero, probably as a means of capitalizing on the success of the latest Batman movies. While not a completely awful …
The Prisoner: Checkmate (2009) TV Show
The Prisoner: Checkmate is the conclusion, at last, to this updated renovation of the science fiction show that Patrick McGoohan brought to us in the 1960’s. That show was all from McGoohan’s mind and while it had an ending, a lot of people say that no one really understood …
One Tree Hill Series
First of all, I did not expect that I would learn to love CW’s One Tree Hill series. I have been a loyal viewer of the series since the airing of its first season when its characters were in their teenage years. Now it has made to its sixth …
For Rent (HGTV)
Most of the TV programs on HGTV are pretty standard. You’ve got the makeover shows, the ones where people are looking for new housing. And finally you’ve got “For Rent”—”the show in which people are actually looking for places to rent. I like this show because …
Hawaii Five-O: Twenty-Four Karat Kill
Things get personal for Five-O when one of their team is injured in Hawaii Five-O: Twenty-Four Karat Kill. The team goes after a gold-smuggling outfit that is led by an arrogant man named Johnny Fargo, played convincingly by Kaz Garas. Fargo is very sly and adept, …
Sea Hunt: The Manganese Story TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Manganese Story was the last episode of its first season. Per the information I have, that was the end of October, so it’s quite obvious that seasons were different way back when. As a last show, it was fairly strong and it took the …
Stargate SG-1: The Powers That Be
Stargate SG-1: The Powers That Be continues the forced journey into Vala land, a place I really don’t want to go. The only good thing is that she’s dressed in BDUs, thereby finally covering the part of her body that she so unmercifully thrusts upon viewers way too …
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 …
The show - 24 -
I wanted to give a review on my favorite thing on TV that begins its season in January every year… and that is 24, with Kiefer Sutherland. This show revolves around a ficticious unit of the US Gov’t and its National Security called CTU (Counter Terrorism Unit). …
Fringe: Season 1 Episode 1
Fringe: Season 1 Episode 1 is a really mind-blowing TV program that I truly am starting to love. I know that it is too early to say, but this TV series starring Joshua Jackson and Anna Torv.
The one playing the Mad Scientist; that guy is also super …
The Young Rebels: The Infiltrator TV Show
Harry Falk directed The Infiltrator episode of The Young Rebels, which was one of my favorite TV series from 1970. I’ve remembered this show my entire life. I can recall stories done on the news about it and even picture a local Sunday TV Guide cover that …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Banshee TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Banshee takes place in Ireland where the folklore is very strong. They have the legends of the banshee, and that’s what this half hour story tackles. The science fiction tale begins with American Douglas Rogers arriving at the Irish manor where he’ll be …
The Andy Griffith Show: Rafe Hollister Sings TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Rafe Hollister Sings is quite the entertaining half hour episode of this successful comedy series from the early sixties. I love the songs, the lightheartedness of it, and the comedic beats which are family oriented, meaning this show is enjoyable for all ages. …
Voyagers!: Sneak Attack
Just two episodes after seeing Robert Donner as Buffalo Bill Cody, in Voyagers!: Sneak Attack we see Disney’s Ike Eisenmann playing a young Bill Cody before he got the nickname. It’s not just our voyagers meeting Cody back in 1860 Utah, but an ‘I’ve got something to prove’ …
Fireball XL5: Whistle for Danger
Fireball XL5: Whistle for Danger has one of my favorite ongoing themes. That adorable and mischievous Lazoon, Zoonie, stays at Space City and wreaks havoc once again. He just loves to blow things up, unintentionally of course. Commander Zero finally puts him under house arrest, paw-cuffing …
Beast Wars - Other Voices, Part 2
In the second part of the season finale of the first season of Beast Wars, “Other Voices”, a powerful weapon is fired upon the planet that the Maximals and Predicons have been waring. The aliens, determined to terminate the experiment, intend on wiping out all life on the planet. …
Sea Hunt: The Living Fossil TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 15th episode of its third season on the air was called The Living Fossil. Airing back in April 1960, this episode was a little unique in that it focused on deep sea diver Mike Nelson (aptly portrayed by Lloyd Nelson) working with others on a special …
