Death Note Episode 34 (Anime)
Death Note Episode 34 begins with Aizawa becoming very suspicious of Light because whenever he meets with Kyomi Takada, they never use video surveillance, they only record the conversation. He devises a test to see whether or not they are exchanging notes during the conversation.
This episode was very …
Reaper
Reaper was a big disappointment to me. I had high hopes for it, but I never made it through the first episode. The premise is very interesting. Parents sell their son’s soul to the devil before he was even born and when he turns 21, it is …
Highway Patrol: Dan’s Vacation TV Show
I rather enjoyed Highway Patrol: Dan’s Vacation, a show from Season 3. This 34th episode had Chief Dan Mathews, series star Broderick Crawford, on vacation. He arrives at the pretty Aspen Lake Lodge and is told that the former owner died a few months earlier, and …
The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie for Council TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie for Council is another terrific program from this legendary family show. As the title indicates, it’s all about Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) running for City Council in Mayberry. That’s something the men folk aren’t thrilled about at first. Here are a few …
Gilligan’s Island - Our Vines Have Tender Apes TV Show
In this episode Denny Miller guest stars as Tongo the Ape Man. Denny Miller and all his glory, no wonder I love the old Tarzan episodes so much I watched when I was a kid. He is so buffed up he even lifts Maryann and Ginger both at the …
Emperor’s New School: The Emperor’s New Tuber
My daughter made me sit down and watch another episode of The Emperor’s New School with her at lunch today. But, I didn’t mind because it was actually a bit funny.
The Emperor’s New Tuber was a cute episode because it shows the pressures Malina is under to win all …
Seven days Season 3 Episode 8 Tracker
I must admit that I have never heard more bad accents in any show than in this one. Everybody always speaks English even though they are Russians, Chinese or of any other nationality, even when two members of another nationality which isn’t American talk among them they use English, …
The Andy Griffith Show: Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee, a second season show that aired in April 1962, just isn’t a favorite of mine. I’ve never liked it, even though there are a couple of good scenes that I do like. It’s just the concept with all …
Sea Hunt: Jade Cavern TV Show
In March 1960, Sea Hunt was in the early part of its third year on television. The episode shown on this night was the ninth one and was called Jade Cavern. It begins with expert diver Mike Nelson on his boat working on an assignment when he …
Goong (Princess Hours)
Goong is a korean drama that is based off the comic by Park So Hee. It is a story about a girl named Shin Chae-gyung, and the crown-prince of korea, Lee Shin. The grandfathers of both of these protagonists were best friends when they were alive. The girl was …
Star Trek: Mudd’s Women TV Show
From October 1966, Star Trek: Mudd’s Women is one of the more entertaining episodes. I actually prefer the follow up from the second season, but nevertheless, this is one of the shows that people tend to remember. A few of the things that stand out for me …
The X-Files Lazarus Episode
This is another one of what I think was one of my 30 favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties American television series “The X-Files”. This is because deals with the whole belief of out of body experiences and whether or not the human body possesses a soul. In …
Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School
For some insane reason, the famous Mo’Nique decided to pull the rejects from Flavor of Love and put them into a show of her own called ‘Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School’ in order to change them for the better. At first I have no idea why anybody …
The Santa in the Slush
Normally, when I watch an episode of Bones, I’m impressed with it. Last night was one of the exceptions.
Quite honestly, for an episode that received so much hype from Fox, you would think it would have been better.
First, let�s start off with the kiss that was supposed to be …
ER tv show
I know, I know. ER is probably one of the most unrealistic shows out there, but after all of these seasons, I still can’t help but to watch it on Thursday nights. The characters are so intriguing, the themes are always original and unique, and it is …
M*A*S*H: Snappier Judgment
From season 10, M*A*S*H: Snappier Judgment is the conclusion of a two-part episode that began with property and equipment from the 4077th disappearing, including a new Polaroid camera given to Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell). Accused of the crime is Corporal Max Klinger (Jamie …
Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword
Once again, I was stuck watching Scooby Doo movies with my daughter this weekend. But, at least I got to see one I haven’t seen before; Scooby Doo and the samurai sword.
This was an OK movie but still not as good as others. Scooby and the Mystery Gang are …
Sea Hunt: Hit and Run TV Show
In Hit and Run, a fourth season episode of Sea Hunt, diver Mike Nelson is doing underwater photos of two models for a supply catalog. Overhead, water skiers and boaters are everywhere. After Nelson left, one of the girls is hit by a speeding boat driven by …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Misguided Father TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Misguided Father is a bit of a different episode; certainly, it began in a fashion that wasn’t the norm. It begins with Paladin (Richard Boone) discovering a friend of his dead. As a friend, he decides to take the body back …
CSI Season 6 Episode 21- Rashomama
The episode was intended to be really funny. And unlike, other episodes of that kind, this time, they have actually managed to make it funny. I enjoyed watching it very much.
In this episode, the team investigates the death of a well known defence attorney on her son’s wedding …
Star Trek: The Apple TV Show
Gene Roddenberry tackles Eden yet again in Star Trek: The Apple. The series creator seems to love to show that books shouldn’t be judged by their covers and that living easy isn’t necessarily living. Man never quite finds paradise in Star Trek.
Another red shirt goes down before …
Alias Smith and Jones: Exit from Wickenburg
Alias Smith and Jones: Exit from Wickenburg is a fun entry for the second regular episode of this western starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy as outlaws Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry. In this show, they become saloon managers after catching cheats in a card game. Susan …
That Girl: Fly by Night
There’s a small problem with the continuity of That Girl: Fly by Night in terms of Ann flying. She acts petrified from the beginning, but she’s been on planes to California at least twice and to Las Vegas, which was just this season. She also went …
Supernatural Season 6 Episode 2: “Two and a Half Men”
This sixth season of Supernatural has really started off with a horrible start. All of the things I loved about Supernatural seems to have been changed around on me, where now I am feeling as though the show is missing the vital essence of what had made it so …
Medical Comedy: Scrubs
Scrubs is a medical comedy that has held my interest from the beginning. It takes on an easy going, humorous, and sometimes plain crazy look into the lives of the doctors of Sacred Heart hospital. There’s Elliot: a woman just trying to fit in and let loose …
Desperate Housewives
Desperate housewives is a show created by Marc Cherry. He was inspired by the women in his life.
As I viewer I find Desperate Housewives funny, endearing and engaging.
What’s great about the show is that it’s always changing and so for a series that has been around a long …
Seinfield
This is an alright show overall. I will watch it when there is absolutely nothing else on television. I have only seen a few episodes of the show. There are a couple parts of the show that are funny but most of it is kind of stupid. Some parts …
Psych: High Noon-ish
I like the show Psych and think it is one of the better comedies on TV right now. But, last night’s episode “High Noon-ish” was a bit lame by the standards I’ve come to expect from the series.
Shawn and Gus are recruited to help the owner of an old …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Henry Winkler
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Henry Winkler was a fascinating half hour of television. I’m still amazed by this inventive semi-talk show that William Shatner does. It’s not scripted at all and there’s not fancy introduction. Shatner may speak for all of a minute in bringing on his …
House: The Greater Good
More and more each week, I find myself not liking the House character Cuddy. Well, to be honest, I think the entire show might be going downhill a bit since it focuses on character interaction and relationships rather than actually trying to solve some sort of medical problem.
Once again, …
The Beast: Infected
The latest episode of The Beast had a surprising guest star. Victoria Tennant, remembered for The Winds of War and her marriage to Steve Martin, appears in Infected, the mother of a boy supposedly infected with some deadly disease. The infectors are demanding she give them a …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Don Rickles TV Show
Don’t be confused by the title of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Dean Martin began doing roasts on his TV show and they went over so well that they became their own unofficial series of sort — The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. Those participants were usually labeled …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 10
In this episode, its parent’s weekend and the Fury suspects that Dr. Murdoch is up to something. On top of everything that is going on, it’s student evaluation time.
The episode begins with a mysterious man telling a minion of the Fury that there is something suspicious about Reginald Murdoch …
Naruto Special: The Four Leaf Clover
This episode never aired on TV, and was never released in Japan at all, and that was probably for the best. For reasons unknown to me Viz Media decided to release this episode as a special on their first Naruto DVD release in America. At least this episode had …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 22: F. Emasculata
This episode had a lot going for it. You had escaped convicts, a deadly virus, a government cover up, all the makings of a blockbuster mini-movie. Yet somehow, the whole was less than the sum of its parts.
I was going to nitpick the idea that …
The Simpsons Season 6 Episode 14
It is the final day of Science Week and Springfield Elementary. Skinner prepares to launch a weather balloon. Bart seems very excited by this, and Skinner becomes suspicious. When the balloon is far up in the sky, Bart shows his hardwork and effort. It is a mocking image of …
Adam-12: Log 66: The Vandals
There’s a dramatic opening to Adam-12: Log 66: The Vandals when Officers Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Jim Reed (Kent McCord) pull over two men and one of them pulls a gun. That gets your heart pumping. What I notice most, though, is that the character of …
Happy Days TV Episode: A Case of Revenge
I had some free time before work this morning and, since my wife was on the computer, I ended up watching some TV.
As is usually the case that early in the morning, there wasn’t much to watch so I ended up watching a re-run of the show Happy Days …
The Twilight Zone: The Passersby TV Show
This 1961 outing, The Twilight Zone: The Passersby, isn’t a big favorite of mine, but it is a good show. I think the reason I’m not fond of it is because it’s somewhat dark. There isn’t really anything happy about it, and I prefer happy stories.
It’s the …
Stargate SG-1: Company of Thieves
Season ten of Stargate SG-1 plods forward with an episode called Company of Thieves. About the best moment here is when Daniel is in control of the Odyssey. Of course, he’s flown the Prometheus and various Goa’uld vessels, so commanding the Odyssey should be a piece of …
That Girl: That Senorita
There’s an odd thing that I noticed in That Girl: That Senorita. It’s the fifth season and while things began to ease up in the fourth season, in this one things are definitely looser in tone and style. It’s a sign of the times in which That …
Charlie Brown Christmas
We ended up watching a couple Christmas specials last night since nothing else was on and because my daughter was able to stay up a bit because her school was cancelled for a snow day today.
One of the ones we watched was a classic; Charlie Brown Christmas. It’s not …
Sky Cable
A 500 pesos per month for having a sky cable is worth a try if you are bored watching on the local channels.
When I resigned from work, I started to live with my parents in Imus, Cavite. I am so happy that I can see now my parents …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 14
Irma Levine sought the help of Alan Shore. Irma is complaining that her vote does not count due to redistricting. All of her elected officials are redrawing the district voting lines to tilt the election in their favor. In her attempt to voice out her political agenda, Irma joined …
Survivor S20 Episode 3
This was a cool episode as we to to see James lose it. The Heroes are on a road to self destruction if you ask me, there seems to be no unity on their team and people are back-biting and sorting out alliances far too early in the …
The Andy Griffith Show: A Medal for Opie TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: A Medal for Opie, a season two entry, has never been a favorite of mine, and I’m really not totally sure why. The half hour outing is a very nice story about good sportsmanship, and it’s a prime father and son tale which I …
Law & Order SVU: Snatched
OK, Law & Order SVU has been going downhill as a series for a long time now but I will give credit where credit is due and compliment last night’s episode of the show “Snatched.” But only because it was very creative.
You have yet another case of a child being …
