Star Trek: Catspaw TV Show
I just do not like or enjoy Star Trek: Catspaw. I never have. It is one very weird show and it’s never ever drawn me in. I’ve still watched it many times (even the worst Star Trek beats out most of what was TV competition), but it’s …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.16: The Hidden Enemy
The sixteenth episode in the series, “The Hidden Enemy”, is a few steps up from the horrid “Trespass” which preceded it. This episode is actually a prequel to “The Clone Wars” film itself and explains why the forces on the planet of Christophsis (which happens to look a lot …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Welcome to the Hell Mouth
My wife and I recently decided to try watching the old Buffy the Vampire Slayer series on DVD from start to finish; starting with the first episode “Welcome to the Hell Mouth.”
As far as first episodes of new series are concerned, this was a good one.
The story-line on this …
Street Hawk: Hot Target
From 1995, Rex Smith stars as Jesse Mach aka: Street Hawk. He’s a secret hero in a sense, using a hyped up motorcycle with all kinds of gadgets and gizmos to defeat the villains. This episode, Hot Target, is the 9th of the season, which actually is …
Family Guy: Back to the Woods
Tonight was the first time I’ve seen the Family Guy episode “Back to the Woods” and I thought it was pretty funny.
This is essentially a sequel to the first episode involving actor James Woods; an episode that ended in Peter locking him in a wooden crate. This time, Woods …
MacGyver: The Secret of Parker House
Season four of MacGyver began with a new opening. It’s basically the same style and sound, just tweaked slightly and new clips interspersed in the old. There’s plenty more of the longer haired Mac in this show. While I prefer the original, I’ll take the revamped …
Bones
This isn’t just another CSI copy cat. This is the real thing. Kathy Reichs is the person behind Temperance Brennan, who is a forensic anthropologist for the Jeffersonian Institute. Tempe or Bones, as she is fondly called by everybody, is not your ordinary geek. She’s strong willed, she knows …
MacGyver: Friends
This show seems a little early, in that it would feel more appropriate as a fourth or fifth season show, but that said, it’s still a good episode. MacGyver: Friends is actually a clips show. Producing an action series like MacGyver is costly. All those explosions …
Monster Quest
I usually enjoy shows about mythical creatures. But, History Channel’s show, Monster Quest is one I can’t even sit through ten minutes of.
Overall, the show does a good job describing creatures like Big Foot and the Loc Ness Monster. However, rather than focus on the historical stories and leave …
24 Season 1 Episode 13
Anyone who watched the TV Series 24 is probably by now very much aware of how addictive it really is. It is probably due to the fact that the show is taking place in real time during a 24 hour period. This way, every episode is connect to the …
How to Look Good Naked
How to Look Good Naked is an hour long show on Channel 4 currently showing every Thursday at 8.00 pm. The show is presented by the fantastic Gok Wan who has the philosophy that women can make themselves look fantastic by making the best of what they have …
The Big Bang Theory
I’m not a big TV watcher but as soon as I saw the first Big Bang Theory show I was hooked. This show is absolutely hilarious!
Basically it’s about a group of scientists who are best friends and work at a nearby university in California. Two of them …

Project Runway
Even though I wouldn’t list it among my favorite shows, Project Runway has been a weekly tradition in our house ever since the second season. And, while I feel this year�s show will live up to the previous years, after watching the Season Premiere, I really feel they are …
Family Guy - Halloween on Spooner Street
While Season 9 of Family Guy has been sorely lacking in the department of humor and entertainment, Halloween on Spooner Street was one of the season’s episodes where humor was alive and well in the Family Guy universe. The humor that Family Guy fans have come to know and …
Eastwick show
Eastwick is a new TV show in ABC. The show is about three women living in the small New England town of Eastwick. The three women are very different, one is a single mother who’s artsy, free spirited (Rebecca Romijn) and dating a younger man (Matt Dallas), another one …
South Park: WTF
The point of South Park is to put ignorant children into adult situations, knowing they would have no idea what was going on. While it has strayed from this ideal a quite a bit, it is nice to see an episode that involves many of the major characters at …
The Wonder Years
The Wonder Years show brings back to many good childhood memories. This show was a classic. It truly captured the life of a young boy growing up in a family. The Wonder Years is very deep and emotional. I really like this the intro and music when the show starts …

Criminal Minds Season 3 Episode 2-In Birth and Death
A thrilling and disturbing case of a killer who uses his own son to pick up women in public, bring them to his home and after 48 hour cut their heart out. He then disposes of their bodies as if they …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Black Bull TV Show
The Black Bull is a name that tells me that I’m probably not going to like this episode; that is, if there’s a bull in it and some bullfighting story. As I began to watch, I just hoped it was metaphorical. The western show stars Richard Boone …

The 23rd episode of Highway Patrol’s third season in March 1958 was called Deaf Mute because during a robbery gone bad, a young girl who can’t hear or speak witnesses the crime. As a result, the culprits take the girl with them.
This show was apparently Lynette Winter’s first …
That Girl: Hearing Today, Gone Tomorrow
That Girl: Hearing Today, Gone Tomorrow is a very good episode. I remembered this one. It always makes me laugh. The general premise is that Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) is up for a commercial for a car product to be shot outdoors in the current snow …

This episode picks up where the last left off, with the fire tribe locating both Aang and Kitara as well as the local tribe. The tribe views it as Aang’s fault and exiles him. He takes responsibility and agrees to go. Kitara stands up for him …
The Universe: Season 1 Ep. 2: Secrets of the Sun: TV show
The Universe is a great series that examines features of the universe in documentary style. The show Secrets of the Sun (Season One Episode Two) was, like all the Universe episodes I’ve seen, very interesting. In college, I found Astronomy to be tedious, but if I had had episodes …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Moon Rising
OK, is it just me, or did the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series run out of budget money for making vampires and demons? I’m almost through the fourth season of the show with the episode “New Moon Rising” and there has hardly been any action at all.
Not that this …
MacGyver: Deadly Dreams
Soap opera diva Kim Zimmer of the Guiding Light guest stars in this season four episode of MacGyver entitled Deadly Dreams. She plays Kate Murphy, a tough cop who has recently solved a series murder that involved a very strong-minded psychopathic serial killer named Dr. Zito. After …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Wilmer Bass and the Serengeti Kid
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Wilmer Bass and the Serengeti Kid is supposed to be a bit comedic and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
Elisha Cook guest stars and he’s a hoot. He would be a positive reason to watch this episode. He has a wide range …

Prison break season 2 episode 10-rendezvous
Prison break season 2 episode 10-rendezvous
This was a nice episode. Just as the rest of the episodes, it was thrilling and adrenaline pumping. The show is a great example of some good TV writing. This one was just a little bit funnier than the rest.
In this episode the events …
Greek show
The television show Greek airs on ABC family. I am a big fan of this television series as I feel it brings something different to the table - something most dramas geared towards young people don’t usually provide.
It’s the fact that the show is not in your face, …
Ugly Betty TV show
This TV show just rocks my world. I don’t really like watching people get embarrassed on TV, even though I know it’s not happening to them in real life. But this show just makes me want to watch until Betty gets her revenge by being smart. This show actually …
The Oprah Winfrey Show
I like to come home and watch the Oprah Winfrey show because I love the topics that Oprah examines on her show. She discuses the things that some other talk show hosts may not confront. I can’t even begin to count how many things I’ve learned just from watching …
Lifetime Movie Network
Lifetime Movie Network caters to women. This is the place for chick flicks. I�m not a fan of television, but when I need to sit down, relax and unwind, chances are I will tune into Lifetime Movie Network. There are movies shown twenty four hours a day, seven days …
The 2009 Television Emmy Awards
I used to be a huge award show junkie, but that was back in the day when the shows and movies were huge favorites and included performers I cared about. Quite honestly, I’m not very fond of today’s most popular entertainers. Sometimes I tune in now just …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Edge of Doom TV Show
Airing in March 1968, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Edge of Doom was the 24th show of this fourth season. The show starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. This is a bit of a mystery show, and the …

Home Improvement: Whitewater
Yesterday was my birthday so I decided to take the afternoon off. I didn’t do too much other than watch TV. But, I did get to see a great episode of Home Improvement.
Ironically, this episode had Tim celebrating his birthday too. Only, instead of getting to do what he …

Roseanne Season Five
The fifth season of Roseanne was one of the last really great seasons of the show. It was before things got too wacky and the show was still grounded in reality a little bit. I thought the only unrealistic thing was when Roseanne, Jackie, and Nancy opened a restaurant …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 5
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig episode 5 has Section 9 going after an assassin who is trying to kill the Prime Minister for ignoring the refugees.
This episode is very well done because we finally see the person behind the Individual 11 group that we …
Nash Bridges: Gun Play TV show
Nash Bridges: Gun Play from 1997 had some good things about it that made it worth watching. First of all, there’s star, Don Johnson who plays Nash Bridges. He’s a cop again, just like on Miami Vice, only this time he’s in San Francisco and he’s an …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Amends
While I can kind of understand where the writers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were going with the episode “Amends” I do think they fell a bit short of their goal and produced a somewhat weak episode.
On the surface, this is nothing more than your average Christmas special with …
CSI: New York Damned If You Do TV Show
Damned If You Do was the third outing for the seventh season of CSI: New York, and I can’t say that I liked their choice of opening song which was a throwback to Miami Vice. It’s so strongly associated with that show that I can’t believe the music …
Doctor Who 2009 Easter Special: Planet of the Dead
Rather than go for another full season, Tennant and crew decided to wrap up his run with a series of specials. There was, of course, the Christmas special, which has become something of a Doctor Who tradition, but they followed it up with an Easter special. As …
Chip N Dale’s Rescue Rangers
Chip N Dale’s Rescue Rangers is a great show about Chip and Dale the chipmunks who solve crimes and mysteries. The show is just great and one of my best childhood memories. If you like cute little chipmunks, then you are going to love this show. The music in the …
