Awkward (TV series)
In 2013 I got introduced to a series named Awkward that still airs on MTV. While I generally gravitate to more mature television series, I liked it at first because I found that there were some things I could identify with even though I’m no longer a teenager, and …
Adam-12: The Ferret

Spongebob Squarepants Season One: F.U.N.

Goodnight Sweetheart
My husband and I used to watch a television series called Goodnight Sweetheart, and one day whilst I was looking on EBAY I came across the whole series on DVD. I couldn’t resist a bid on it eventually after a few bids were exchanged I won the auction.
A …

The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 24: The Erlenmeyer Flask
And so the first season comes to a close. This is an episode I had never seen, so I was especially looking forward to it and it didn’t disappoint. While there had certainly been a few UFO/Alien centered episodes (a surprising few looking back on the season …

Roseanne Season One
The first season of Roseanne actually held up a lot better than I thought it would, especially considering that the show first aired almost two decades ago. I picked up the box set fairly cheap and ended up watching the whole season in one weekend because it was really …
The Twilight Zone: A Piano in the House TV Show
To me, The Twilight Zone: A Piano in the House is a little on the morose and macabre side of life. It’s eerie in an unpleasant way, and it’s just not one that I enjoy very much. That’s not to say it’s not crafted well, but …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Lonely One is a story about a serial killer in a small, rural town. Known as the Lonely One, the killer strikes once a month, including the morning of when this science fiction story begins. The show, a cable program, aired in …

Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 - The Wedding
The show is over. Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 — The Wedding is the final episode of this navy drama. The sad part is that no one knew that at the time of the taping. Therefore, it has that typical cliffhanger ending that would never be …
Desperate Housewives
Desperate Housewives is as crunchy as the popcorns I gorge on during the show! The first season was Fantabulous and the second is even more spicier. The foxy four leading ladies keep getting themslves into embarrasing-hilarious-steamy situations in every episode.
My personal favorite is the role of Eva Longoria as …
That Girl: The Beard
Ann Marie takes issue with the fact that her boyfriend, Don Hollinger, returns from a hunting trip with a beard and refuses to shave it off. When Ann’s father shows up, she ends up defending Don’s right to grow the beard, though she’s still not happy about it.

While at the same time relating a brief overview of the history that happens between great building projects. The show is usually …
Masquerade: Flashpoint
The guest stars in Masquerade: Flashpoint are probably the most notable things about the episode. I wasn’t that much into the plot. I really do like the idea behind this series, that of taking ordinary people and putting them into unreal spy-like situations because they have some …
Stargate SG-1: Line in the Sand
Stargate SG-1: Line in the Sand bugged me in some ways, but then again, that is the norm for season ten episodes. This is the third episode without Michael Shanks. In the show, no one knows what has happened to Daniel for sure. Is he alive …
The X-Files Jersey Devil Episode
I thought this was an episode which peaked my interest a bit. I didn’t think that it was superb, and neither did I think that it was awful. However, I found that the introduction and the plot of it especially interested me. “The Jersey Devil” was the fifth episode …
DSTV PVR I satellite decoder
DSTV is South Africa’s only satellite television broadcaster, an off-shoot of the popular MNET pay channel that launched during the 1980’s. There are hundreds of channels on offer, both local and international, and as such, it is inevitable that family members would be fighting for the remote control.
DSTV …
Bones TV Episode: The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle
Well, last night’s episode of Bones wasn’t the best episode I’ve seen, but it wasn’t the worst one either.
In The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle, they find themselves investigating the murder of a rich guy who was last seen at a rock and roll fantasy camp and find themselves …

Highway Patrol: Dead Hunter TV Show
Highway Patrol’s third season of police drama surrounding the California Highway Patrol continued with its tenth episode entitled Dead Hunter. This show aired in December 1957, so it’s vintage television for sure. What’s good about it is that it’s both out there on the internet to be …
Code Geass Episode 7 (Anime)
Code Geass Episode 7 has Cornelia setting a trap for Zero in hopes that he’ll reappear so she can capture him. Lelouch goes, hoping that he’ll be able to outsmart her and win, but things don’t go as planned.
This episode was really good because it introduces us to …
John Doe: John Deux TV show
In October 2002, John Doe: John Deux aired and presented the unusual aspect of having yet a second amnesia victim pop up near Seattle in just about the same way that John Doe (Dominic Purcell) did. Naturally, that piques John’s interest.
One of the most memorable parts of this …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: A Switch in Time
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: A Switch in Time has a couple of decent moments in it, but mostly, it lacks cohesion and entertainment values.
In the opening scenes, for example, the big star is Fanny the chimp. Fanny’s in several episodes, and in this one, she gets to cause …
Tom and Jerry Episode: The Flying Cat
I love watching Tom and Jerry and the episode entitled “The Flying Cat” delivers it’s usual humour as with many of the other Tom and Jerry episodes I have had the pleasure of watching in my life.

I Love Lucy - The Business Manager
In this episode Lucy has her finances all in a mess, and suddenly she’s living in a dark house, with no phone. So, Ricky decides to hire a business manager. This episode is a perfect example of the usual episode arch.
The actor that plays Mr. Hickcox, the business …
30 Rock: Jack the Writer
After four episodes of 30 Rock I am beginning to get the feeling that the writers of the show don’t know exactly where they want to go with it. Jack, the boss, is the prime example of this to me. His character seems to have changed nearly every episode.
Still, …
The Fall Guy: Child’s Play TV Show
In The Fall Guy: Child’s Play from March 1982, Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) and company go after another bail jumper, only this time there’s a catch. It’s not long before they enter a ransacked home and discover a young girl, Libby, who is the daughter of the man …
Fringe Season 4 Episode 3
After viewing the previous episodes of season 4 of Fringe I have voiced my concerns regarding the future of the show. It looked like they have stripped away the most intriguing and touching aspects of the show: they have wiped Peter Bishop out of existence, taking away the intense …
Psych: Earth Wind and Wait for It
I missed the new episode of Monk on Friday night but did manage to catch the Psych episode “Earth Wind and Wait For It.”
While it wasn’t half bad, it also wasn’t the best I’ve seen.
This episode had Shawn and Gus investigating a series of arsons that revealed dead bodies. …
Family Guy 10-3: Screams of Silence
Why do I feel like everytime I write about Family Guy Season 10, I’m asking for help, to save the series before it’s driven into the ground even more? I want so much for this series to be great, but as each new episode comes out, I’m finding myself …
The Virginian: Halfway Back from Hell TV Show
From October 1969, the 8th season of this long standing, 90 minute western series, The Virginian: Halfway Back from Hell reminds me of an episode of my favorite TV western, Laramie. It’s the ultimate goal of that episode, to start a ranch with gunfighters starting over with a …
Due South: Dead Guy Running
Quite honestly, Due South: Dead Guy Running didn’t capture and maintain my interest very much. The story dealt with the past case of the real Ray Vecchio, a case in which he almost lost his badge. When one of the guys from that situation shows up and …
Undercover Boss: Frontier Airlines TV Show
Bryan Bedord, the CEO of Frontier Airlines, is center stage in this latest edition of Undercover Boss in the United States. This guy is gutsy. He’s heading up a business that has just merged three companies into one and asking all of them to take a 10 …
The Defining Moment
The Defining Moment is a mix of boring and seriousness and at the same time, isn’t that bad to watch. I’m still watching this TV Drama, but judging by the first few episodes, a lot has to be said and I could see some ‘repeats’ of other local TV …
Netflix Streaming Movies
I recently had the opportunity to get a free month’s trail of Netflix. I liked it so much I decided to keep just not at the plan that I originally signed up for. I had signed up for the unlimited streaming plus one DVD at a time for $9.99 …
Columbo: Troubled Waters TV Show
Columbo: Troubled Waters is an okay outing from the fourth year of the Columbo series. It’s amusing to a degree in that Lieutenant Columbo (Peter Falk) and his wife are on a cruise together, but we never see the Mrs. at all. He’s talking to her a …
Midsomer murders, tv show
That’s my favourite TV show it is British and it is situated in a British county of Midsomer. It is a detective show where detective’s name is Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby (played by John Nettles) he resolves crimes, murders actually. He he is about 55-60 years old and …
