Lawrence Welk TV Treasures
It’s funny how we change as we age. As a young girl, I wanted nothing to do with The Lawrence Welk Show. I recall giving my mother and grandmother such grief over watching it. As I’ve aged, though, I like it more and more. …
Columbo: The Greenhouse Jungle TV Show
The shows in the second season of Columbo have the teaser with clips from the show about to be seen. That wasn’t done with the first season.
The Greenhouse Jungle is another show where even some cops don’t realize that Columbo is a lieutenant. They see the old …

The X-Files Humbug Episode
This is the 44th episode of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files”. It is also the 20th episode in season 2. It is quite memorable for me as this is also one of the first full episodes I remember watching in the 90s when I was a …
Psych: High Top Fade Out
Friday night’s episode of Psych was an OK episode but nothing that was overly impressive compared to other episodes from the series.
This one, which had a great introductory song sung by the group Boys II Men, focused a great deal on Gus and his past; including his college days …
Benjamin Bratt on Ellen Talk Show Episode
The episode which featured Benjamin Bratt on Ellen Talk Show was quite alright but I was hoping for a more better looking Benjamin Bratt. His look was very messy and unkempt and how I wished he looked like in his younger days whereby he has this jet black hair, …
CSI: Miami
I loved the original CSI, but CSI Miami is another matter. When I first saw the introduction of CSI Miami in one episode in CSI, I was intrigued because the architecture of their lab was really exceptional. The plot which intertwined the two series’ was done smoothly. When the …
Smallville show
Smallville is a show on the CW network that’s been around for eight seasons and going on it’s ninth and last season. Smallville is about the early life of Clark Kent before he became Superman. It’s kind of a slow progression starting in high school and moving forward to …
Stargate SG-1: Maternal Instinct
Stargate SG-1: Maternal Instinct is an excellent outing for the science fiction series, though it’s not a huge personal favorite. Not all the best shows are always a hit with every viewer.
I think the reason Stargate SG-1: Maternal Instinct isn’t a huge hit for me is that it’s …
House: Alone
Well, House’s original team finally left him and the episode “Alone” shows why a genius like him needs to have a group of other doctors around to bounce ideas off of. I guess staring at a board with a bunch of jumbled up information on it just isn’t enough …
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Overall, I am not a Reality TV fan, but there is one program that I like. It is Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I enjoy watching the makeover team build a whole new house in just a week, it is simply amazing. But what I like the most about this …
Faerie Tale Theater: Tale of the Frog Prince
I loaded the old television show Faerie Tale Theater on my Netflix Player the other day as something I could sit down and watch with my daughter. When I did that, I wasn’t really sure what to expect, especially from the first episode “Tale of the Frog Prince” because …
Kekkaishi Episode 5 (Anime)
Kekkaishi Episode 5 has Yoshimori confronting the ghost of a pastry chief who won’t pass on to the next world.
This episode was pretty good and it explained more about the world of the Kekkaishi and how they operate, and it also introduced the Night Troops an organization that is …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: I Love You Molly McGraw TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: I Love You Molly McGraw starts out with some animal angst, which I never enjoy watching. It’s Evan’s horse, Diablo, who develops a leg injury and might have to be put down. Then it’s new vet, Molly McGraw (Ann Dusenberry) who operates and …
Ghost Hunters: The Fear Cage
Well, that was a halfway decent Ghost Hunters episode. I started out watching “The Fear Cage” expecting not to see to much. But, it turned out to be pretty interesting.
The TAPS team visited the Cashman Inn; where a lot of confederate soldiers and generals stayed leading up to Gettysburg. …
Dancing with the Stars
Do you need a good laugh?Or just want to look at the pretty people making a fool of themselves.
I have to give it to them,it takes a lot of heart to get on national TV and know you can’t dance,yet you give it your all.I think it is a …
The Ity and Fancycat Show
It was only recently when we lost our cable and had to revert back to local TV, when I became acquainted with the “Ity and Fancycat Show.” This is actually a comedy sketch show hosted by two local comedians, where they make fun of some of Jamaica’s current events. …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: I Robot, You Jane
There are great episodes of the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and then there are episodes like “I Robot .You Jane” which, in the words of the comic book guy on the show the Simpsons is “The worst Episode Ever.”
Normally, Buffy episodes do one of two things; they either …
The Vampire Diaries: Season 2 Episode 3 “Bad Moon Rising”

Ayashi No Ceres Television show
This is an older, but absolutely fantastic series! Lost for awhile amid the stream of new anime Ayashi No Ceres has proved its worth as an anime classic. This show not only sports fantastic character development, but a very in depth storyline that slowly comes to fruition …
Touching Evil: Mercy
Touching Evil: Mercy was the season ender for this show. It began with a more detailed look at David Creegan’s near-death three years earlier. I had thought maybe they were going to focus on that completely and maybe get the shooter, but it was just more background …
MSNBC
All of the cable news networks have a slogan, or more than one; Fox News has “Fair and Balanced” and “We Report, You Decide” but none are as accurate in the opinion of this viewer and political junkie as MSNBC’s. With its line-up of entertaining and informative shows and …
CSI Season 1 Episode 4 Pledging Mr. Johnson
Just like always the crime scene investigation team is struggling to solve the murder cases while fighting the melancholy and the pain of their personal life. It was a really great episode, only the very last few minutes of the show were a little bit over the top, or …

There are some very watchable moments in M*A*S*H: Soldier of the Month from the fourth season of this great comedy series. Major Frank Burns (Larry Linville) is directed to choose a Soldier of the Month who will then get a week’s pass to Tokyo. Naturally, everyone wants …

TNA impact TV show
I am now a huge fan of TNA Impact and this show has made a lot of improvements over the last few years and now it is starting to get very entertaining. This show has a few good story lines and they are heading in the right direction with …

The X-Files: 4-D
A vicious serial killer flitting between alternate realities to live out his sinister fantasies without retribution is the premise of this episode.
This is a solid enough episode, and one of the first to really seal the new pairing of Doggett and Reyes as something to take notice of. Both …
Broadway’s Lost Treasures - The Musicals compilation TV Show
Broadway’s Lost Treasures - The Musicals was compiled in 2003 and offered on VHS and DVD 17 wonderful performances that had been included on the Tony Awards over the years. Angela Lansbury does an introduction and then Jerry Orbach does the intros to the first few specific segments. …
Chief Engineer’s Log featurette
One of the DVD extras for the Star Trek series is the Chief Engineer’s Log. It’s actually a little hard to watch for me. James Doohan was such a force. He died in July 2005, and this was an interview taped a year and a half …
The Middle show
The Middle is a new show on ABC this fall. At the time of this writing, there have been six episodes shown. I have seen every one so far - some multiple times - so I think I have a good enough idea to write this review so far.
The …
The Twilight Zone: The New Exhibit TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The New Exhibit is a creepy show from 1963. It’s about a rather docile man who works for a wax museum. He becomes anxious when the museum closes and his most prized wax figures are in danger of being destroyed. Ultimately, the owner …
Sea Hunt: Sixty Feet Below TV Show
Sea Hunt: Sixty Feet Below debuted on January 4, 1958, and it was a good outing to start off with for this adventure series. I wasn’t even born when this show took to the air, so this is the first time I’m seeing the underwater themed program which …
Californication (Showtime TV series)
I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about whether I would like this little show. Other cable series have shown that shock value is all the rage. Programs like “The Carnivale”, “Six Feet Under”, “Weeds,” and even “Sex and the City” have groomed the viewer …
Hooked: Monster Fish SSN 1 Episode 1
Hooked: Monster Fish is a National Geographic fishing show that manages to be fairly interesting. In the first episode of Season One, the show focuses on those who wrangle and catch huge fish, both freshwater and saltwater. I was never a fan of fishing- I find it boring, …

The Good Wife: Cleaning House TV Show
The Good Wife: Cleaning House is a pretty good hour of drama in many ways. Below are a few things that stood out to me about this particular episode.
–There are some really good moments with Alicia’s former co-worker, Cary Argos (Matt Czuchry) questioning her over something that has …
Smallville Season 7 episode 9
This episode of Smallville like most of them started out on a light hearted note that went sour. It’s Christmas and instead of celebrating the gang are trying to stop a bomb that’s strapped to Chloe exploding.
For me some parts of this episode were boring. Lois is …
Stargate SG-1: Frozen
For some reason, I like this season six episode more than the other ones before it so far. Maybe it’s the intrigue of the White Rock Research Station in Antarctica. That’s a new one for the team, and it’s kind of interesting.
I like the Ayiana character, a …
Psych s03e10
As every other Psych episode this one starts with a past memory of Shawn and his Dad from 1987. Little Shawn and Gus were on a school trip and Shawn was determined to visit Aquaworld and ride a dolphin. Of course, Shawn dad catches them and stops them in …

Due South: Mountie Sings the Blues
This show had the potential to lead to a really funny and good subplot, and while it’s great here, they really don’t do anything with it. In Due South: Mountie Sings the Blues, Constable Turnbull is in deep like with Francesca and acts on it. It’s very …
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 …
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 …
