Here Come the Brides: After a Dream, Comes Morning
Here Come the Brides: After a Dream, Comes Morning is a wonderful episode of this family show about a trio of brothers who brought 100 brides from the civility of the city to the growing town of Seattle, Washington. This show is a essentially a flashback to what …
The Virginian: A Man Called Kane TV show
A Man Called Kane is the last episode of the second season of the 90-minute western, The Virginian. I wasn’t really crazy about, which surprised me a little. I’ve said before that growing up I didn’t like this show at all. I found The Virginian to …
Stargate SG1: In The Line Of Duty
This episode begins with SG1 and some other teams from the SGC helping some villagers who are under attack by gliders. As everyone is running around, gathering people and escorting them through the Stargate, Sam stops to help a man. When she discovers he is no longer …
Tabatha’s Salon Takeover
Last year, a blonde with a wicked attitude by the name of Tabatha Coffey was one of the contestants on the BRAVO reality series, “Shear Genius”. I couldn’t stand her. She was very brazen and highly critical, and I didn’t agree with much of her assessments about …
The Next Food Network Star: Finale August 15, 2010 TV Show
Watching The Next Food Network Star finale tonight was interesting, and I should have known better than to have fallen for their slick editing job. I’ll explain what I mean about that shortly.
The three finalists were Herb, Aartie, and Tom. I like all three, but my clear …
CSI:NY pilot episode Blink
Every pilot episode of a tv show should do three things: introduce the characters and the plot, set the tone for the series, and draw the viewer’s attention.
‘Blink’ achieves all three easily. The plot is, of course, similar to all the other procedurals out there, and as a part …
M*A*S*H: 38 Across
M*A*S*H: 38 Across is a fun show from the first third of the fifth season of this great comedy series. Somewhat bored, Captains Hawkeye Pierce and B.J. Huneycutt (Alan Alda and Mike Farrell, respectively) begin working on a crossword puzzle from the LA Times. All of the …
Psych TV Episode: Gus’ Dad May have Killed an Old Guy
I’m not exactly sure what I was doing during the second season of Psych. But, apparently there were quite a few episodes that season that I missed because I was seeing them for the first time during a marathon on Saturday.
One of them, Gus’ Dad May have Killed and …
Gilligan’s Island - Topsy-Turvy TV Show
I really liked this episode since we have actual headhunters on the island this time which is rare on this show. Again the Castaways are fighting for survival, and they actually prepare calmly and with some sort of order this time. But again Gilligan messes up, but his goof …
Stargate Atlantis: Search and Rescue
The fifth and final season of Stargate Atlantis begins with an episode called Search and Rescue. Now this concludes a story that was done as a cliffhanger in season 4, and I didn’t see that. Actually, the only reason I’m reviewing the fifth season is because an …
Big Brother: Power of Veto 8/18/19 TV Show
The August 18, 2010 episode of Big Brother was the Power of Veto episode, and it was the most fired up episode of the season. In fact, I think there were more fireworks than just about any other episode.
What brought about the increased volume was that Brendon opened …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: For The Man Who Has Everything
The episode “For The Man Who Has Everything” was an entertaining and thought provoking epsiode in the first season of Justice League Unlimited. This episode features the “big three,” being Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman. These three heroes are the core of the Justice League, and the show …
House: Living the Dream
Some House episodes have gotten a bit dull. But, occasionally, there is an episode that is funny and entertaining. The one entitled “Living the Dream” is a good example.
The best part of this episode is the intro. You have House’s favorite soap star leaving the studio in a limo …
Family Guy: No Chris Left Behind
Last night was an OK Family Guy episode “No Chris Left Behind” but, it also wasn’t one of the better episodes in the series.
This one has Lois and Brian discovering Chris has been forced to learn from history text books written in 1948. During Lois’ protest to the school …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Disappearing Acts
Synopsis: Benson and Stabler want to arrest a suspected serial rapist. However, they are prevented from doing this by federal agents because their suspect (and one of his victims) is in the Witness Relocation program.
What I liked about this episode: I think the part of this episode I liked …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 51: Hard Knight’s Day
Normally, I really like it when the show incorporates literature and mythology into the plot lines. As such, you’d think that I would’ve been able to get behind this episode as it centers around Arthurian lore. Yet somehow, this episode didn’t work for me as much as …
CHiPs: Career Day
From October 1977, CHiPs: Career Day centers around Ponch writing his old high school principal a ticket. Richard Deacon, who was such a funny man, plays Mr. Singleton, the principal. He definitely remembers Ponch, calling him by his whole name, which is how Jon learns Ponch’s middle …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.2 - Couples Therapy
Episode 2 of the second season picks up right after the last one left off with the conversation at the diner. In addition to the “rape” revelations between the two grown men, Feldman also brings up that Haim bad-mouthed him in a couple of recent interviews. The whole back …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chain of Command, Part Two
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chain of Command, Part Two is one of the series’ darkest episodes and also one of the show’s best. In this episode, a captured Captain Picard is interrogated, humiliated and tortured by a member of the Cardassian military while Captain Jellico works on …
Street Hawk: Female of the Species
Street Hawk: Female of the Species had Dennis Franz as a guest star. I’m not crazy about him, so that really didn’t do much for me. I was more intrigued by Paul Rossilli, who played a wealthy, highly public figure named Steven Cavanaugh. Think John F. …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 5: Flesh and Stone
We pick up where the last episode left off, with the Doctor and crew trying to venture through a crashed ship that is infested with Weeping Angels. Sadly, this episode isn’t quite as good as its predecessor, but it is a worthy conclusion all the same. Where …
Junior Apprentice Episode 3 TV Show
Junior Apprentice Episode 3 had the two teams of apprentice wannabes, Instinct and Revolution, going to a crystal store where they were told their task was to make and sell cupcakes. Once again, Lord Alan Sugar changed things up by switching two of the players, taking Arjun and …
The Virginian: Star Crossed TV Show
A bunch of folks on a message board I’ve been occasionally have all said that the Star Crossed episode of The Virginian was a really good show and may, in fact, be the best one that featured Clu Gulager as Emmett Ryker. That’s why when it came available …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Charley Red Dog
Have Gun - Will Travel: Charley Red Dog is from the third season of this half-hour western starring Richard Boone as the worldly Paladin. Once again, we begin in San Francisco where Paladin is in his finest. It’s a whole other life from when he’s dressed all …
Laramie
From 1959 to 1963, NBC aired a wonderful western called Laramie, starring John Smith and Robert Fuller. Many folks still remember this series, which had an enduring impact on many. Unfortunately, it’s yet to be released on DVD, or even video.
What I love about the series is …
Babylon 5: Season 1, Episode 10: Deathwalker
After a passenger aboard Babylon 5 is attacked by Na’toth, a chain reaction begins that involves all the races in the known galaxy. Na’toth swears that the passenger she went after was a war criminal known as “Deathwalker’, a soldier and scientist who performed experiments that killed thousands …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 13 (Animated)
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 13 begins with Sokka and Katara getting sick and Aang goes off in search of a cure, but is captured by the Fire Nation.
This episode was really exciting. It had a good plot and really good action scenes. It had plenty …
The Simpsons: Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire
Hey, look at that. I came across back-to-back Simpsons episodes tonight and they were both Christmas related.
“Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” is by far my favorite though. For those of you who don’t understand the history of the show, this is the very first Simpsons episode (after it …
Dexter Season 6 Episode 7: Nebraska
I so loved Dexter Season 6 episode 7 titled “Nebraska”. As his dear friend Brother Sam passed on, Dexter (Michael C Hall) has seemed to lost the light that he found. This time, his Dark Passenger, in the form of his late brother (The Ice Truck Killer) is …
Fame: Come One, Come All
The well respected Gwen Verdon guest stars in Fame: Come One, Come All in which she plays Melinda MacNeil, the mother of Montgomery MacNeil (P.R. Paul). She’s an actress of note who suddenly agrees to give up a movie role in order to direct a play at the …
Smallville: Bulletproof
If the first seasons of Smallvill were how Clark Kent became Superman then even though he hasn’t put on the tights and cape this season could be called how Superman created the Justice League. He’s still growing and there are things he has to learn, but there is more …
Star Trek: The Omega Glory TV Show
I have always liked Star Trek: The Omega Glory, primarily for that big speech Kirk makes towards the end. I love the Kirk orations. They’re so patriotic.
Once again, the catalyst is a missing spaceship. In this case, it’s the Exeter. Actually, the ship and the …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Five - That’s No Lady
Somebody tells Patrick to get out of town, as a joke, and he takes it seriously. He confronts Spongebob about his situation because he does not know what he is going to do, because he has no place to go and stay. Spongebob comes up with this crazy idea …
Smallville 9.3: Rabid
You can’t go wrong with zombies. There’s just something about them that work, even when it’s greatly flawed. These are more of the “rage zombie” ilk as opposed to the slow walking dead. Seeing the latter would’ve been cool, but this works too.
The change is caused …
Adam-12: Log 36: Man Between
Adam-12: Log 36: Man Between is the eighteenth episode from the third season of the TV series which stars Martin Milner as Officer Pete Malloy and Kent McCord as Officer Jim Reed.
There’s a very high strung story as part of this half-hour show. Peggy Webber guest stars as a …
Cupcake Wars - Sea World Birthday Bash TV Show
The second edition of Cupcake Wars began at Sea World, which was intriguing. As it turned out, the gala event that the competitors would be baking their cupcakes for was a celebration of Sumar the whale’s birthday. For me the highlight was seeing Sumar and his buddies. …
Spongebob Square Pants Series
I admit that I watch cartoons and to be honest I’m a bit choosy when I watch because I only want to tune in to a good and humorous cartoons and I hate a show that is full of nonsense. While my sister is watching television I watched with …
The Office dvd
I loved The Office from the first time I watched it on television. When Season one became available on dvd, I bought it immediately. I did not mind paying twenty dollars for eight episodes. Steve Carrell is hilarious, he is the worlds funniest boss without a doubt.
In season one …
Adam-12: Log 131
Episode 4 of the first season of Adam-12 is another goodie. It’s the show that introduces us to a detective named Jerry, played by Jack Hogan of “Combat” fame. The recurring character is awesome, and it’s really too bad he didn’t show up in even more shows.
The …
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Lucent Dossier TV Show
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Lucent Dossier was probably the most unique of all the Top Chef shows from all seasons, and that wasn’t necessarily a good thing. In fact, it brought up a lot of questions. These pastry chefs have more emotional issues than the regular top …
Project Runway Season 2
I really enjoyed the first season of Project Runway, and have been pretty happy lately because one of the channels that I get has been rerunning Project Runway’s second season from beginning to end.
I really like this season’s contestants. I especially think Santino is funny and interesting. There …
The Complete ‘Yes Minister’ Boxed Set (DVD 2004)
It is really hard to believe that this series was first broadcast on British TV about 30 years ago because the topics covered are as relevant now as they were then.
A comedy series but as they say - many a true word spoken in jest - and in the …
That 70’s show
We like to watch television while we are eating dinner. We like the back ground noise. We usually watch That 70’s show.
I like Red and Kitty, they make such a good match to each other, Red is this supposably touch guy and Kitty as his …
The Carol Burnett Show: Eydie Gorme and Chuck Barris TV Show
The Carol Burnett Show which included guest stars Eydie Gorme and Chuck Barris aired in its tenth season. The show opened with a Mrs. Wiggens skit. She was the blonde with the rear end that stuck out and was a secretary to Mr. Tudball, who was brilliantly …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Ultimatum
Ultimatum is the ninth episode of season one of Justice League: Unlimited. Is is also one of the weakest episodes in the series, although it does start a major plotline involving the United States government.
This episode introduces a group of young heroes so forgetable that I do not …
Death Note Episode 5
In Death Note Episode 5 Light Yagami mercilessly executes his plan to get F.B.I. agent Raye Pember killed, ruthlessly and cleverly eliminating all those who oppose him. The Japanese taskforce begins to have members resign because they are afraid of being killed by Kira.
This episode was …
Dr. Phil
I don’t usually watch Dr. Phil because it comes on during the evening (at 7pm) when I’m usually out hanging with my friends at school or watching one of my favorite shows. However, whenever I do get the chance to watch it I find it interesting to see the …
Adam-12: The Radical
Adam-12: The Radical was a crossover episode with another NBC series called The D.A. That series starred the talented Robert Conrad as Deputy D.A. Paul Ryan. He’s part isn’t that big. As often happens with crossovers, part 1 is on one show and then those stars …
Super Bowl XLII Halftime show
I’ve seen just about every Super Bowl Half Time show over the past decade; even when didn’t watch the game. But, last night’s performance by Tom Petty was one of the most boring performances I’ve seen in a long while.
I understand how the NFL is now afraid of any …
