MacGyver: Pirates
MacGyver: Pirates has some fun stuff in it. Actually the best part for me was when MacGyver was trapped on a sinking boat and had to try and get out before drowning. It was quite a challenge and made for an exciting scene.
There’s a good cast providing …
Due South: North
The second season of Due South begins with an episode entitled North. The name is appropriate since the main characters of Benton Fraser and Ray Vecchio are headed north to Canada where they are going to rebuild Fraser’s father’s cabin that burned down at the end of season …
CBS.com
Let me start off by saying that I am a very happy that most of the big TV networks have sites that allow you to watch a good deal of their programing on the net. I still watch regular TV but there are a number of times that programs …
The Great British Bake Off: S1, Ep3 TV Show
For the 3rd round of The Great British Bake Off, the contest was down to 6 cooks. This outing was held in Kent with the focus on bread. Also, only one baker will be eliminated from now on.
Challenge 1 was the signature bake where the bakers rely …
Sliders-Rules of the Game
This is the first episode of the third season of Sliders (at least the first on the air, although it was not the first on the production line) and it is here that we can see the once mighty series start to head down hill. It is not …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Electric Shock Showdown (Episode)
“Electric Shock Showdown” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. This episode is quite good for two reasons: the gym battle is very well animated and fast-paced and the dilemma that Pikachu finds itself in when faced with the prospects of evolving to its next evolutionary stage so …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 15
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 15 begins with Alex Louis Armstrong confronting Scar about his ishbalan religion and how they are against alchemy. Meanwhile Ed and Al try to get Dr. Marcoh to safety.
This episode was really good, it had a lot of information about the Ishbalans and why they’re …
Good Eats
I just finished watching an episode of “Good Eats.” The episode was about making homemade bacon. The plot of this show was “Scrap Iron Chef” and the secret ingredient was Pork belly. Alton Brown competed against a midwest native to see who could make the best …
M*A*S*H: Taking the Fifth
M*A*S*H: Taking the Fifth is somewhat of a bore in my opinion. I didn’t really like either of the two main stories that take up the thirty minutes that this show airs. One segment dealt with Corporal Max Klinger (Jamie Farr) paying off a debt to Hawkeye …
TV show How I Met Your Mother
How I Met Your Mother (”Mother”) is a fairly entertaining ensemble comedy that will remind you of a lightweight version of Friends. Mother airs on CBS, although I am not sure what time it will air this coming fall, for its fourth season. I do think it …
Project Runway: The Art of Design
Last night’s final Project Runway challenge was somewhat entertaining. The designers were taken to an art museum and told to create an outfit based on something they were inspired by. This ended up being everything from an old bed to moss on a fountain outside.
I have to tell you …
Family Feud
I haven’t seen the game show Family Feud in ages so, when I watched it last night, I wasn’t sure if I was watching a brand new episode or a repeat.
In any case, it turned out to be an entertaining way to spend a half hour.
The game itself was …
Hellcats: A World Full of Strangers TV Show
I was not expecting to watch the new series, Hellcats, at all. I guess I was just bored, but for whatever reason, I tuned in to see A World Full of Strangers, which was the pilot.
Now I think the pilot was altered. There was a cast change …
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Belligerent Ghost TV Show
I’m really enjoying watching a few of these very vintage episodes of Sherlock Holmes. From the early days of TV broadcasting, this series starred Ronald Howard, who fits as Holmes with a wonderful naturalness. Alongside him is Howard Marion-Crawford as Dr. Watson. Like the star, Marion-Crawford …
The Office: Survivor Man
Having watched every episode of Survivor Man, the title of this episode of The Office intrigued me. This season of the office has finally hit it’s stride.
The best part about this episode was the same thing as the previous episode, that is the plausibility. Having left behind the large …
Highway Patrol: Hostage Family Copter TV Show
The sixth entry for the third season of Highway Patrol, which stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, was called Hostage Family Copter. Yes, it’s another show that features the helicopter. This crime drama loved showcasing this mode of transportation, which as we all know today can …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - One Krabs Trash
One day Mr. Krabs decides to have a yard sale and get rid of things to make some money, just because he is so cheap. He finds things in other people’s trash and resells them, and that is the way he is. Well, one day Spongebob and Patrick decide …
Friends Episode: The one where Ross plays the Bag-Pipe
This episode of Friends is all so funny. Ross experiments with his so called newly found talent playing the bag-pipe and it irritates the hell out of Monica and Chandler. Monica and Chandler are trying to stop Ross to no avail and Ross even has the thinking of …
Mr. Monk Goes Underwater
When the episode “Mr. Monk Goes Underwater” first aired, I had to be somewhere and didn’t get a chance to watch it. Tonight, I finally got a chance and found it to be entertaining.
This was definitely a funny episode because Monk, who is afraid of everything, finds himself onboard …
Surviving the Cut: Ranger School TV Show
Surviving the Cut: Ranger School is often hard to watch. This show airs on the Discovery Channel, and it’s a really deep and sometimes difficult insight into the training that men go through to become part of the elite military training force. The show opens with 338 …
Friends Episode: Rachel Moving Out
Friends Episode: Rachel Moving Out is one of the better episodes that you can see Monica’s really ‘controlling’ and ‘possessive’ manner of persona. The episode is when Rachel is going to move out and not being her room-mate anymore. And knowing Rachel, she is very laid-back about it …
The Twilight Zone: Ring-A-Ding Girl TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Ring-A-Ding Girl is actually one of my favorite shows from the series, which is surprising since it aired in the fifth year, one which is full of lesser quality productions. This one, though, I’ve always enjoyed and I never tired of seeing it. It’s …
MacGyver: Ma Dalton
Jack Dalton is back and back as being annoying in this episode of MacGyver called Ma Dalton. I’ve been reminded that when he’s calm and not scheming, he can be a fun character, but when he’s scheming and roping Mac into his crap, I just can’t stand him. …
Days of Our Lives
I’ve been watching Days of Our Lives for years. Since I was a kid actually since daytime programming isn’t very child friendly. So after all these years of watching Days of Our lives I have to say I hate this show.
The actors are terrible. As with …
The Twilight Zone: Nick of Time TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Nick of Time is another show I really enjoy watching. This series came up with some great stories based on common situations, and this is one of those. We are presented with a newlywed couple who end up in a small town for an …
South Park Season 10, Episode 8: Make Love, Not Warcraft
This episode is a classic. I’ve never played WoW myself (I tried, but it was a nuisance so I ditched it) but I still find this episode hilarious.
The boys join the online sensation, but find their experience ruined by an insanely powerful griefer who keeps killing them when …
Ghost Hunters Academy: The Honeymoon is Over
Well, episode 2 of Ghost Hunters Academy did at least have the “students” doing more than the first episode, as they explored a haunted battleship. But, it also revealed that these participants aren’t very good at working as a team.
Basically, you have one who claims to be a medium …
Death Note Episode 25 (Anime)
Death Note Episode 25 begins with L questioning Rem about the Death Notes, but the Shinigami reveals as little as possible about them. Meanwhile, Light makes sure that Rem will have to kill L to protect Misa, and kill herself in the process.
This was a very dark and …
Will and Grace
Will and grace is a television show that I started watching about a year ago. I don’t really watch it anymore though. Overall it was an alright show. There were a couple of episodes that I thought were really funny. I think the main reason that made the show …
Law & Order SVU: Pure
Even though the Law & Order SVU episode ‘Pure’ was made about two years ago, last night was the first night I had a chance to actually watch it. And, I have to say, I was really impressed by it.
Martin Short plays the bad guy; who at first seems …
Law & Order SVU: Perverted
Last night’s episode of Law & Order SVU was one that I think was kind of weak compared to what it could have been.
The episode “perverted” had Olivia being accused of murder; not only because her business card was found on the victim but because her DNA was found …
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot deals with the latest heat wave to hit the 4077th as the Korean War rages on. It seems odd that this show precedes one that talks about a wind storm. Korea must have a lot of quick changing weather.
The thrust of None …
Death Note Episode 1
Death Note Episode 1 begins in the world of the Shinigami, where they’re all bored with nothing to do except gamble and write names in their “death notes”, notebooks they use to write down the names of people in the human world and kill them. One Shinigami named …
Swiffer Wet Mop/Duster (TV ad)
The song “Baby Come Back” is playing in the background in this series of commercials. In one, a woman is using the Swiffer—which happens to have its own squirting mechanism that helps to clean the floor much easier. But once the woman gets to a …
Sea Hunt: Hard Hat TV Show
Sea Hunt: Hard Hat is an episode I liked overall. In the episode, Gene Roth portrays Prof. Roland Cathcart, an archaeologist. He hires Nelson to retrieve secret documents aboard a submarine. The sub is German and was used in World War II. The curiosity was what …
Big Bang Theory: The Financial Permeability
In this episode of Big Bang theory you get to see one of Sheldon’s personality quirks which doesn’t make you want to punch him. He is generous, at least with a loan. The fact that he acted completely contrary to how you would expect is one of the things …
All My Children: Episode Aired January 5, 2010
The soap opera All My Children aired an episode on January 5, 2000 to celebrate its fortieth year on television. They did this by bringing back Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos as the Santos family. As Haley, Ripa then produces a TV special because Pine Valley as …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 6
Cowboy Bebop Episode 6 has the crew of the Bebop after a boy named Zebra who can’t age because of something that happened a long time ago.
This episode is very interesting because it takes a cliché plot line of the immortal human being and makes it a …
Duck Dodgers
I was flipping through channels the other day and I came across Duck Dodgers on one of our cartoon channels. I figured it was just a re-run of some of the older Daffy Duck cartoons. But, when I clicked on it, I discovered it was a modernized version of …
The Carrie Diaries [Season 1 - Episode 1]
This is a series that I was entirely skeptical about but after a few youtube videos that I have come across randomly I decided to give it a try. Now, from just the pilot, I can not tell you for sure if I have liked it or not, …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 51 (Anime)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 51 begins with Ed arriving in the room where Al and Riza fought Lust and they are attacked by an army of mannequins fused with Philosopher’s Stones. Meanwhile, Al has to fight both Pride and Kimblee who has come to release Pride from …

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 …
True Blood 3.03 “It Hurts Me Too”
The title of the episode in this case proved to be prophetic - after two very strong episodes, the third one didn’t happen to be the charm, quite contrarily, slumped down and simply didn’t provide the high quality, high speed drama of its predecessors.
Jason’s subplot, usually boring but, at …
Lie to Me on Fox
Have you seen the new TV show “Lie to Me”? It is the new Fox hit on Wednesday nights. My husband and I really like it so far. We needed a new show for Wednesday nights and “Lie to Me” is the lucky winner. It has a great new …
Hawaii Five-O: Deathwatch
Hawaii Five-O: Deathwatch continues the debut season of this crime drama, and it begins with the murder of an assistant district attorney right in his office after interrupting a robbery. The murderer wanted the evidence (a handgun) that would save a mobster from being prosecuted.
James Shigeta guest stars …
Tru TV network
I am a huge fan of Crime Library. When I found out that the Crime Library had merged (or been acquired by) Tru TV, I didn’t know what to think. I tuned into the channel and watched a program which followed a crime involving arson and murder. …
That Girl: What’s in a Name? (original pilot)
What’s in a Name is the original pilot for the That Girl comedy series. While some things are the same, the performers are largely different. There’s one very important change in this regard, and that concerned the character played by Ted Bessell. Most recall Bessell as …
That Girl: The Detective Story
Aspiring actress Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) gets an obscene phone call one night and calls the police. Soon, a police detective is at her door. This is a cute scene with Ann trying to get the detective to prove his identity a number of different ways. …
