MASH: The Joker is Wild
I was watching some MASH re-runs and came across one of my least favorite episodes “The Joker is Wild,” just because it was kind of pointless and one of the most un-funny episodes of the show I have ever seen. And, I’ve seen almost every single episode of it …
Undercover Boss: Choice Hotels TV Show
Steve Joyce, CEO of Choice Hotels, is the executive going under cover in this first show of Undercover Boss’ second season. They’ve changed up the scenario a little bit to try to prevent people from realizing what is happening, now that this is the second year of the …
Warehouse 13 season 1 episode 6 Burnout
Warehouse 13 is a show about two secret service agents who look for artefacts that can affect human behaviour. In each episode they solve a different case but the warehouse itself holds a mystery that will probably be solved by the end of the season, at least I hope …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The City Beneath the Sea TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The City Beneath the Sea, episode two of season one, had the Seaview trying to unearth the mystery about two ships that have disappeared in the waters of Greece. Ultimately, Captain Lee Crane (David Hedison) does a bit of sleuthing, skin …

Death Note Episode 29 begins with Sayu being pushed in a wheelchair by her mother after she goes into an unresponsive state because of the trauma she experienced. Soichiro blames himself for what happened. Meanwhile a Shinigami named Sidoh confronts Ryuk about taking his notebook.
This is a …
The Sopranos
I never really watched “The Sopranos” when it was on HBO, but, since A&E has been playing all the syndicated episodes, I’ve really gotten into it. Like the Corleone family in “the Godfather”, Tony Soprano and his various henchmen both repulse and fascinate. James Gandolfini is exceptional as the …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Escape from Death Island
Apparently, when you do a show like this, you have to have a Devil’s Island type of prison. For Bring ‘Em Back Alive, it was Kampoon. For Tales of the Gold Monkey, we get to see their version in Escape from Death Island. It begins with
Jake …
Psych: The head, the tail, the whole damn episode
My wife and I finally got around to watching last week’s episode of Psych (which we recorded Wednesday because we had other shows on that we wanted to watch instead). It was an OK episode, but much like many of the other episodes this season, could have been better.
This …
Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete Second Season
Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete Second Season holds all thirteen episodes from the second season. Every episode looks crisp and clear, and the audio quality is impressive. There’s no grain or static or background noise to interfere with your enjoyment of these episodes. Unfortunately, what may interfere with …
Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 1
Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 1 has some great moments in it. The premise is that the SGC is being documented. It’s the one-thousandth trip through the Stargate, and they want history to know how the Stargate has helped to shape and save the future.
To that end, a …
Serial Experiments Lain Episode 3: Psyche
I don’t know what’s going on! I’m so confused!
There are voices talking to Lain, not really saying anything, just talking. She receives a mysterious item in her locker called a Psyche that enables total immersion in “The Wired” basically its an advanced internet.
The idea of Lain …
Oprah Winfrey
I tried to watch recently on two different occasions. I had a hard time getting through each episode. The first time, I gave her the benefit of the doubt; I thought it was just the topic that I was not very interested in. She was really …
Voyagers!: Merry Christmas, Bogg
Honestly, I’d forgotten just how much Meeno Peluce cried during the Voyagers! series. He could compete with Doris Day, June Allyson, and Margaret O’Brien for being able to turn those tears on and off. It’s amazing. However, it’s not the best crier. He’s just able to …
M*A*S*H: Major Topper
The final episode of the sixth season, M*A*S*H: Major Topper, is pretty good. What I like about it is how it shows off the power of the mind. Most people just don’t realize how much the human mind can do. It’s capable of far more than …
Legend of the Seeker: Sacrifice
This week’s “Legend of the Seeker” was far better than past episodes. “The Legend of the Seeker” is based on Terry Goodkind’s sword of truth series of books, and for the first time watching an episode felt like it was really connected to the book.
I’ve been trying to be …
Thriller: Man of Mystery TV Show
I was probably more interested in Thriller: Man of Mystery from April 1962 than I have been in most of the other shows, except maybe one that guest starred William Shatner.
This episode guest starred John Van Dreelen as Joel Stone, financier and playboy, and he’s interested in a young …
That Girl: He and She and He
One episode I’m really not fond of at all is That Girl: He and She and He, a second season entry. This brings back the character of Noel Prince, the British photographer from the two parter earlier in the season. In that outing, Noel went after Ann …
Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 4 Performance TV Show
Dancing With the Stars, Week 4 of the 11th season, was another entertaining show. I’m not really that crazy about all of the celebrities performing on the show this season, but they have been better than anticipated. This show was different, too, because it was performed in …
Dancing with the Stars - Performance 5/11/09
My first beef with tonight’s two-hour show is that the first half-hour was a review. I would have liked to have known that in advance. Traditionally, they’ve put review shows as a separate entity. Nevertheless, the real meat of the show was, of course, the dancing.
Melissa …
CSI Season 2 Episode 11- Organ Grinder
CSI Season 2 Episode 11- Organ Grinder
It was a really nice episode but still, there was something in it, which gave me the feeling that things did not really add up, even at the very end when the crack the case. The thing I liked the best about this …
Justice League Unlimited: Hunter’s Moon
I often feel when watching Justice League unlimited that I am missing something. I don’t know if there are episodes, or past seasons which are not being shown or if there is an associated series which preceded it, but it is worst when they are dealing with Shayera.
Her …
666 Park Avenue (Tv Series)
One of the series that I started watching recently was “666 Park Avenue”. It was recommended to me by another fan of the series Supernatural who swore that I would not only enjoy it, but be just as hooked. The series is still in is infant stage as it …
Due South: The Wild Bunch
My dogs give Due South: The Wild Bunch eight paws up. They were fascinated by it, especially my oldest dog. She was up by the TV screen for most of the hour. She loves to watch Diefenbacker, the wolf dog, and Dief was the star of …

That Girl: I Ain’t Got Nobody
The plot surrounding That Girl: I Ain’t Got Nobody is that Ann’s picture is inexplicably in a major girlie magazine, creating chaos for everyone who knows her and interfering with her attempt to be cast on a children’s show with a character called Captain Gooney (Kenneth Mars).
A positive thing …
M*A*S*H: Baby, It’s Cold Outside
It’s really cold in Korea during M*A*S*H: Baby, It’s Cold Outside. While the doctors try to save some hypothermic patients, they also try to stay warm. This particular story element is another example of decent comedy mingling with decent drama and making for a decent half-hour of …
M*A*S*H: Big Mac
M*A*S*H: Big Mac is from season three and deals with the impending visit of General Douglas McArthur. Is the 4077th ready for a visit from the esteemed general? Well, maybe, especially if Corporal Klinger isn’t standing guard in one of his dresses.
Graham Jarvis appears as Colonel Whiteman, …
Star Trek: Voyager - Mortal Coil
Star Trek: Voyager - “Mortal Coil” is one of my favorite episodes of the series. In this episode, Neelix faces a crisis of faith after he dies and is brought back to life using Seven’s Borg nanoprobes. Neelix however is terribly disturbed because while he was dead, he saw …
Supergirl episode 4: Livewire, TV show
From the first 6 episodes aired so far, “Livewire” was my highlight episode because a) Helen Slater as Eliza Danvers (Kara’s adopted mom) makes for a longer appearance b) Dean Cain (seen in flashbacks) c) we finally get more glimpses into Cat Grant’s (Kara’s boss) personality, and d)Eliza and …
Third Rock from the Sun TV Episode: I am Dick Pentameter!
Well, that was a fun way to spend lunch; watching an old episode of the show Third Rock From the Sun; I am Dick Pentameter!
I never really watched this show when it was on the air but this episode is one I kind of regretted not seeing before. Basically, …
That Girl: Many Happy Returns
In That Girl: Many Happy Returns, Ann Marie gets a visit from Leon Cobb, a G-man from the Internal Revenue Service, advising her that she owes a bunch of money for not paying the correct taxes in 1965, which was a few years before. As it turned out, …
Seven days Season 3 Episode 15 Crystal Blue Persuasion
Seven days is a Sci-Fi show about a secret government organisation that with help of alien technology sends Frank Parker back in time when the national security is in jeopardy
This episode was very ridiculous but also very interesting in the same time. The general idea was taken from the …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Consequences
I have now watched the first 2 ½ seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and have never seen an episode so filled with emotion as “Consequences.”
This episode takes place right after Faith accidentally kills a person thinking he was a vampire and deals with her and Buffy’s efforts to …
Kekkaishi Episode 4 (Anime)
Kekkaishi Episode 4 has Yoshimori and Tokine fighting against Yomi and Yoki as the ogre goes berserk on the Karasumori site. The grandparents of both families head to the site, while arguing the entire way.
This episode was action packed and very well done. The fight scenes were …
Adam-12: Log 125: A Safe Job
In April 1971, the final episode of the third season of Adam-12, a half-hour crime drama, was aired. The show was entitled Log 125: A Safe Job. It’s a fairly decent show to end a year on. It’s not a big favorite, but it is an …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Season 3 Vol 2 DVD
The third season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is routinely vilified by fans of science fiction as a tragic end to an otherwise phenomenal program. The main problem with Season Three was the fact that it generally centered on some truly awful and ludicrous plots that …
Law & Order Criminal Intent TV Episode: Frame
As I mentioned in another review, my wife and I were watching episodes of Law & Order Criminal Intent last night; re-runs that were airing on one of our local stations.
We used to watch the show on a semi-regular basis when it first came out but haven’t really …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trial TV Show
Robert F. Simon guest stars as Morgan Gibbs in Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trial, a season three entry for this half-hour, black and white western. Gibbs hires Paladin (Richard Boone) to bring his outlaw son in alive. In an interesting twist, Gibbs actually wants his …
Cougartown
At first I didn’t like the series Cougartown. Basically it’s about a woman who has recently got a divorce, she is juggling her life which includes a kid, ex husband and friends that don’t get along and then to top it off she starts to date younger men. …
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. …
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 …
Little Bill Cartoon on Noggin
There is a cartoon that is on Noggin which has only been on for about 3 months now. It is called Little Bill, and is a cartoon created by Bill Cosby. This show is geared towards a much younger age range than Cosby’s other cartoon he was affiliated with, …
Heroes Season 1 Episode 2-Don’t Look Back
Heroes Season 1 Episode 2-Don’t Look Back
This was another great episode in the amazing series heroes. A good introduction and first episode, the characters in the story continue with the process of self exploration in finding out some confusing truths about them, their lives, and their abilities.
New …
Tough Love (VH1 show)
“These reality shows are getting out of hand,” I used to say. But then this one reality show came along and focused on the women of the world who are responsible for their own dating failures. At first I wondered whether they would pick …
Cody Linley and Julliane Dancing With the Stars
These two are so cute ! Of course what do you get when you put a Disney Channel Star with oodles of talent with Julianne, the cutest dance ever to grace the stage on Dancing With the Stars? Fun. Of course, I’m a girl that is not leaning towards …
Friends, The Series
The TV series Friends is an absolute must watch in my opinion. This show is for anyone! It doesn’t matter how old you are even if you are young or old. My whole family loves this show too! I watch hours and hours of Friends everyday without getting …
Gone Country 2 - episode 1
Tonight I watched the first episode of the second season of Gone Country on CMT, hosted by John Rich. This show takes stars from different music genres, and even other career paths, and gives them a crash course on turning country, music wise. The winner gets a …
Dancing with the stars TV show
Dancing with the stars is a lame, boring, pointless and unbearable show to watch. I have seen many shows that sucked but this show takes the cake. I think the concept is so dumb, having celebrities pair up and dance with professional dancers and than they are judged each …
