Tales of the Gold Monkey: Tales of the Gold Monkey: Part 2
Tales of the Gold Monkey, the pilot, Part 2 concludes the pilot, which surprised me by holding my interest.
As Jake Cutter, Stephen Collins has the right amount of swagger, heart, and courage. I love his relationship with his dog, Jack, and the blooming emotions he’s getting with Sarah …
That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy
That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy introduces Don’s sister, Sandy, played by Cloris Leachman. That surprised me. I hadn’t thought of Cloris as being the Hollinger type. She was quite bubbly here, playing a widow who had found a new romance with an …
Dexter Season 1 Episode 3 (Popping Cherry)
Episode Three of Dexter was really fun, just like the previous two. The show is so well written that I don’t think there is ever going to be a bad review of an episode. This episode for a little different, since we got to see a bit more of …
Lost TV programme
I hate this programme! It frustrates the hell out of me and I am soo glad I can rant about it on this website! It just doesnt make sense. Polar bears??? People living underground and everyone having past lives that are somehow interlinked.
I switch over every time it comes …
The Virginian: The Final Hour
The Virginian: The Final Hour was the last episode of the first season and personally, I think it was a poor choice of a season ender. Though the story was poignant, it was terribly downbeat. When a season ends, I want to feel excited about a show …
House: Remorse
Last night’s episode of House was actually pretty decent for a change.
The episode, entitled “Remorse” had an interesting case involving a woman who turns out to have zero emotion and will do whatever it takes to get her way. She is dying and they team can’t figure out if …
Sony Bravia 55″ 3D LCD model # kdl-55hx800
I am very pleased, can’t really complain
I bought this TV on 01/23/11 to replace a 2-year old 52″ 120hz Sony LCD tv. To be honest I wasn’t really looking for a 3D tv I just wanted a 55″ LED tv with 240 Hz. But I couldn’t find a …
CSI Season 7 Episode 4- Fannysmackin
Yet another great chapter in the popular crime investigation show. This time a dishwasher is brutally murdered in the parking lot when coming back from work. He was kicked to death by a gang of hooded teenagers. His wallet and cellphone were stolen. Half an hour later, a female …
Legends of the Wild Wild West
I am always up for a good western (leftover from a father who loved a decent cowboy movie). Being a woman, not only do I appreciate a good western, I appreciate a good cowboy with bad boy appeal, you know the kind that romance novels are written around.
“Legends …
The Andy Griffith Show: Bringing Up Opie TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Bringing Up Opie is the final episode of the first season of this wonder family comedy, and the focus is on the Taylor family and specifically young Opie, played so beautifully by Ron Howard. In this show, Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) suddenly decides that …
A Very Supernatural Christmas Episode
A Very Supernatural Christmas is a third season episode of the CW series “Supernatural”, and the first time that the show had a holiday themed episode. Previously they attempted to do a few different holiday episodes, but this time they went with Christmas. I have to admit that I …
King of the Hill
“King of the Hill” is a show which has just recently started to air on the cable television channel Cartoon Network on a programme called “Adult Swim.” I knew of it before since I could remember it airing on a local television channel every Saturday evening a couple years …
Stargate SG-1: Last Stand
Stargate SG-1: Last Stand concludes the action begun the week before in the episode entitled Summit.
Here Daniel, or Pajama Boy as many have teased based on the outfit he wore, has gone undercover at a System Lord summit with the unrealistic goal of releasing a toxin into the air …
The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day
For a western, The Virginian did do some very different things. For example, The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day includes a day at the lake with visitors in their swimming suits. Not only that, but the opening scene includes a phone call in Denver. A western …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A Ring for Hannah TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A Ring for Hannah has another disaster looming for the McFadden family. It begins with some warm emotion and good feeling when Tom Barrett (Charles Aidman) tells some of the brothers about how he opened a mine with Adam McFadden Sr. Adam …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Cradle of the Deep TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Cradle of the Deep is the 25th episode from the first season of this Richard Basehart and David Hedison TV series. Guest star John Anderson played Dr. Janus, a scientist who wanted to gather precious elements from the ocean’s bottom to …
The Equalizer: Bump and Run TV show
I’m not a particular fan of The Equalizer. I tried watching it a few times when it was on originally, but it didn’t capture my fancy and neither did its star, Edward Woodward. He does have the look, very polished and whatnot, but he didn’t get my …
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 …
Rated K by Korina Sanchez
I like so much to watch Korina Sanchez Rated K. I am not only entertained by the stories she feature in the program but also I am most of the time inspired by the stories of people she feature. Just like for instance she featured a story of how …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Hot Line TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Hot Line, show nine of this hit science fiction program, deals with a Russian rocket that goes astray and is headed for splashdown near San Francisco. The Seaview is ordered by the White House to assist the Russians to find the …
The Apprentice - UK - Week 8
In Week 8 of The Apprentice - UK, the candidates had to become produce manufacturers and sellers, thereby leaving the comfort of London for the countryside. The two teams were told to negotiate with the farmers for some raw produce and then they were to take that produce …
The Celebrity Apprentice
Now what I liked about the Celebrity Apprentice was that we knew almost everyone who was competing. There were a few contestants I wasn’t familiar with but the presence of the other celebrities made up for it.
I think the difference between this and the regular Apprentice is that …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea TV series
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is one of my all time favorite TV series. As a young child, I was hooked. I watched the show religiously every week, and I absolutely adored David Hedison, who played Captain Lee Crane. I didn’t really care about …
Waterloo Road BBC One programme
I just love this programme and I am eagerly awaiting to hear whether it is back on again this Autumn. Normally the new series starts about this time, and I have watched every series since the beginning.
Not only do I really enjoy this programme so does my son. …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Penetration
There wasn’t much on TV last night so I ended up watching a re-run of Law & Order SVU on NBC called Penetration.
This wasn’t the first time I have seen this episode. I watched bits and pieces of it when it first aired but really wasn’t all that interested …
The Andy Griffith Show: Those Gossipin’ Men TV Show
I love The Andy Griffith Show: Those Gossipin’ Men. It’s a story of revenge, lightheartedly delivered, and it’s a hoot to watch. It all begins when Sheriff Andy Taylor teases Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier), Clara Lindsey (Mary Treen), and the delightful Emma Brand (Cheerio Meredith) about all …
Doctor Who: Season 3, episode 3: Gridlock
When I read the general synopsis of this episode, I didn’t think it would work out that well. The idea of a gigantic traffic jam isn’t a bad one, but it doesn’t exactly scream excitement. As it turns out, this episode managed to turn me around and …
Star Trek: Miri TV Show
Kim Darby plays the title role in Star Trek: Miri. Darby has a distinctive look. I call it pouty. She is always strong and sure, and her voice is equally so. She has a presence around her that makes her stand out. I always …
Jennifer Aniston on Ellen
I remember watching Jennifer Aniston on Ellen and it was really cool. Jen is very humble and natural and she has this great hair, even years before. I think it was a long-time episode come to think of it now, because at that time she was still married to …
Probe: Now You See It…
From March 1988, Probe: Now You See It… makes me chuckle. The fun part about the lead character of Austin James (Parker Stevenson) is that he is responsible for some great inventions. One of his creations is what I’ll call the talking elevator. It greets you, …
The Twilight Zone: It’s a Good Life TV Show
The Twilight Zone: It’s a Good Life is considered a classic episode of this great science fiction series. It is indeed very good. It’s a powerful tale, but it’s really an evil and frightening story, and it’s not one I like to watch. Maybe it’s because …
Palmer Hollow Milk Chocolate Rabbit
We see them every year at Easter time — chocolate bunnies, some stuffed and some not. Many companies make them, one of which is Palmer. The Palmer Hollow Milk Chocolate Rabbit looks adorable. It’s in a pretty box that is alluringly printed with colorful rabbits to …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Harsh Light of Day
Finally, an episode of a show geared toward teenagers that shows premarital sex and the possible consequences of doing so.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “The Harsh Light of Day” finally reveals my suspicions about Parker. He’s not allied with Buffy’s enemies, but it he obviously is a total …
Due South: Dr. Longball
Technically, this is season two of the second evolution of Due South, or you could call it season four of Due South as a totality, or you could do what the DVD set does and just combine the last 13 episodes with these next few and call it the …
Dexter’s Laboratory
In the late 1990s and the early 2000s, there were three cartoons on Cartoon Network which I remember were quite popular amongst children and a few teenagers I knew. These were “Johnny Bravo”, “Cow and Chicken” and “Dexter’s Laboratory”. Even now I think that “Dexter’s Laboratory” or “Dexter’s Lab”, …
Law and Order SVU
I cant understand how a show can never air a bad show. How you never get tired even watching repeats. Thats the show Law and Order SVU. Every show keeps you guessing to the end and then the end was never even the way you guessed …
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 …
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Sense of Justice
About the first thing I noticed about Have Gun - Will Travel: A Sense of Justice is that once again Karl Swenson is guest starring. He really did a bunch of these shows. I feel like he’s in every third episode. I’m sure that’s an exaggeration, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Two Plus One
Two Plus One was the 30th episode of the sixth season of Have Gun - Will Travel. I miss TV seasons with that many episodes, and this wasn’t even the last one. We don’t get a San Francisco opening unfortunately. Rather, we see Paladin (Richard Boone) …
American Idol - Season 9 Winner Announced
The last episode of American Idol for the ninth season was pretty a two hour disaster, which is a shame since in addition to announcing the big winner, it was supposed to be a tribute to outgoing judge, Simon Cowell. I waited on writing this review to watch …
Stargate SG-1: Memento
The Prometheus finally goes on her shakedown cruise in Stargate SG-1: Memento. There are actually elements of this season six episode that I like, notably John Novak as Colonel William Ronson, the commander of the Prometheus. He and Jack clash in the opening scenes, and it’s pretty …
Wagon Train: The Sandra Cummings Story
When I think about Wagon Train: The Sandra Cummings Story, my mind goes to the beautiful Rhonda Fleming and how much I know Robert Fuller, who plays Cooper Smith, just loved working with her. She certainly had him smiling for decades after this show was filmed.
Fleming plays the …
Mr. Monk and Sharona
I was hoping they would bring back Monk’s former assistant Sharona at some point in the final season and they did. I was glad too because this turned out to be a great episode.
The case itself was a bit too easy to solve. I knew the golf pro was …
Undercover Boss - UK: Crown Worldwide Group TV Show
The Managing Director sends the new Finance Manager undercover. This is a first that I know of that Undercover Boss has not had a CEO pretend to be a new worker. They talked about the frontline staff knowing the folks who run the company. I suppose …
Outsourced: Pilot TV Show
Outsourced, the pilot, is a show I watched along with a bunch of other new Fall 2010 TV comedies just to see if I have misjudged the current style of comedy. You see, I prefer the classics, like The Andy Griffith Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show. …
The Simpsons: Miracle on Evergreen Terrace
Christmas must be around the corner. I say this because I was flipping channels last night and came across the Simpsons Christmas episode “Miracle on Evergreen Terrace.” Fortunately, I had time to actually watch it for the first time in more than a year.
Of all the Simpsons episodes that …
Cartoon network
I use to watch the Cartoon Network when I was a child, this was back when they where still playing Bugs Bunny all of the time. My children love to watch the television station and I also sometimes enjoy the shows that are on there.
My daughter asked me if …
FX channel
I watch the fx channel quite a bit on television. They play some pretty good movies on the channel from time to time. I like the channel because of the movies that they play. They play a variety of different movies. Mostly I see action movies on this channel …
Laramie: The Fatal Step TV Show
In Laramie: The Fatal Step, there is another strong guest cast to go along with the excellent partnership of John Smith and Robert Fuller as friends and co-workers, Slim Sherman and Jess Harper, respectively. I am just always amazed at the strong acting that was scene in this …
