“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 …

Isn’t it really great when English reality or past get involved in this show? I really like that. This episode is about Queen Victoria and her visit to Balmoral. She comes to the house of an old friend of her dead husband but strange things are going on. There …

Sadly, the powers that be behind television series often don’t pay attention to their own show’s history. Continuity often has gone into the toilet, so to speak. In CHiPs: High Flyer, we get another example of just how bad it can get when no one cares to …

What we get during Fireball XL5: Flight to Danger are sweaty puppets and that’s a first for me. It’s these little things that make this show so much fun. You know they are puppets and even with the one-look facial features, you can still see and feel various …

I don’t know why but I just can’t seem to find an episode of Ghost Hunters I like any more.
Last night’s episode, Inn of the Dead, should have been good. They visited an inn that not only had two suicides, they had two guests go insane too.
Of course, I …

OK, Destination Truth is once again proving to be my favorite show on Wednesday nights. Last night’s episode, Alien Mummies/Lake Monster had to be one of the creepiest ones I’ve seen in a long time.
First, they end up going to South America to visit a mine (that was scary …

Ergo Proxy: episode 2 is a leeway to introduce Vincent Law, a immigrant who specializes in destroying and inspecting infected auto-reivs. He was first introduced on episode one as a bumbling idiot with a strange necklace. Now, he is wanted by Raul Creed for involvement with the Proxy emergency. …

The beginning of the Star Trek legacy was back in 1966 with a pilot produced by Gene Roddenberry called The Cage. No one could imagine that this would be the birth of a legendary show that would last well beyond Roddenberry’s lifetime. In the mid-eighties with the …

The Twilight Zone: The Fear aired at the end of May in 1964, making it one of the last episodes ever of what is definitely a groundbreaking, superb series overall. Unfortunately, not all the shows in this final year were worthy of the series title. The Fear …

Yesterday was my birthday so I decided to take the afternoon off. I didn’t do too much other than watch TV. But, I did get to see a great episode of Home Improvement.
Ironically, this episode had Tim celebrating his birthday too. Only, instead of getting to do what he …

From the first season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Christmas Story is a show I must watch every year at least three or four times. I love it that much, and it just isn’t Christmas without seeing this wonderful episode of this down home comedy show.
Andy Griffith and …

M*A*S*H: C*A*V*E from season seven gives us new information about our chief surgeon. It seems Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is claustrophobic. I’m not quite sure how we’ve missed this in all of these seasons, considering the various buildings and situations Hawkeye has been in, but apparently we …

One of my new favourite Japanese animated series is Mirai Nikki or “Future Diary” as it is known in English. When it begins we meet a young man, Yukiteru Amano, or Yuki, whose main past time is observing the world around him and writing a stream of consciousness in …

In Performance at the White House: Paul McCartney aired on PBS and it surrounded Sir Paul McCartney being awarded The Gershwin Prize for Lifetime Achievement in song writing for popular music. It’s a prestigious award and an honor McCartney takes quite seriously. Following are some observations about …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Day of the Bad Man is from season three and is the 17th episode of that year. Directed by acclaimed actress, Ida Lupino, the show is high on comedy, rather than its usual drama. It revolves around the character played by …

This episode of South Park, entitled “Margaritaville”, is meant to be a satire on the response to the failing economy. As the world treats the economy as a living entity, the people fall do everything they can to not spend money as a means of appeasing this economy. This …

I don’t normally like the later episodes of That 70s Show; mostly because I can’t stand Donna’s replacement boyfriend (after Topher Grace left the series). But, I do like the episode that was on last night; We Will Rock You.
Basically, there are two main stories to this one. First, …

FOX is one the channels we see the most at our house.
The truth is that with the filth that is television today, getting a package that incorporates new pay channels including the Fox channel is a good start.
The scheduling of this television chain for series is one or two …

I watched this show a little while ago and was kind of interested. At first I didn’t realize that it was actually a prank show. The daters (usually the women) are actually actresses hired by BET to make the dates unbearable. The dates can take all …

The episode begins with the entire Simpsons family blaming Bart for the damage done to their property. Later it turns out that it was their dog who had done this. The dogs seems a bit too hyper active. So they decide to get the dog checked. Instead of going …

Midway through the second season of Highway Patrol, the episode which aired was called Counterfeit. I actually found this show to have an interesting set up. It captured my interest and had me watching. It didn’t even feel dated to me, and that says a lot …

Teach - Tony Danza: Homesick is the fourth effort into telling the story about this well known performer teaching for a year at a high school in Philadelphia. Danza had a lot of guts to take on this project, and I’m hoping that by the end of the …

Jerry Orbach who stars on Law & Order is why the show is such a hit. The charactor he plays Lenny Brisco is so good that you cannot help to watch the whole show. His dry wit is impeccable the way he delivers his scripts are so …

After the influence that I got from America’s Next Top Model, I was hooked in watching Tyra’s recently produced TV reality show, “Stylista”. Unlike Top Model wherein Tyra is hosting the show, Stylista has Anne Slowey from Elle Magazine hosting the show. It also stars Joe Zee, creative director …

It was a great finale night for So You Think You Can Dance. This was the last performance show of the season for the final three dancers: Kent, Lauren, and Robert. All three are so solid, and I have to agree with producer and judge, Nigel Lythgoe, …

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 …

My favorite TV show ever is The Waltons.
I just love the serenity of the setting, the lifestyle. Although they were not wealthy they were the richest family to me. I still love to watch it, and it is on for 2 hours every morning. Luckily I am an early riser …

One of the things I’ve always remembered about the filming of The Twilight Zone: Third from the Sun is how the show is filmed. It’s the camera angles that really give it a warped feel. It’s vital for the story and it puts the viewer off guard.
The …

This review is about a show that is near and dear to my heart. I don’t often get “hooked” on a tv show, much less feel the need to watch the episodes over and over. In fact, more often than not, I turn the channel to a …

After four episodes Naruto finally stakes its claim as a continuing series. While the episodes before episode 5 were great and did their job building the story, but episode 5 is the first one to actually continue directly off of a previous episode as Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke continue …

The Greatest Story Never told is everything that I love about Justice League Unlimited. The plot is simple but mostly irrelevant. A powerful magician is attacking Metropolis and everyone in the league is sent to stop him, but this story isn’t really about that.
This story is about Booster Gold. …

We follow up an episode dealing with a Satanic cult with one that deals with voodoo. This episode could’ve very easily felt like a pale rehash, but it does enough differently that it is able to differentiate itself from its predecessor.
I wasn’t sure about this episode …

Goliath and his crew end up back in the present and land in Prague. It’s here that they run into Renard, who Goliath still believes to be a friend. That impression is somewhat staled as Renard brushes Goliath off and tells him to go away.
Meanwhile, a young rabbi …

Quincy M.E.: Hit and Run at Danny’s aired in 1977. It was the sixth episode of the second season of this highly successful drama about a medical examiner named Quincy as played by Jack Klugman. It was an excellent show I watched regularly every year that it …

Well, that was an episode of the Simpsons I haven’t seen before; See Homer Run. It was an OK episode but wasn’t the greatest though.
Basically, it’s Father’s Day and Bart gets Homer an amazing gift (I like how Marge tells Bart it isn’t from him if he doesn’t pay …

I only got to see bits and pieces of the Family Guy episode Dammit Janet. But, from what I saw of it, it wasn’t too bad.
Basically, the episode has Peter convince Lois to become a stewardesss so he can secretly travel around the world for free behind her back. …

Ok, I was in for another treat here. The episode is one of the best because Kurt Russell guest acts as a 15 year old jungle boy. My, I can not believe how young he is in this show. And Gilligan finally finds someone more playful and active as …

After hearing numerous rave reviews, I finally decided to give in and give HBO’s True Blood a fair shot. Not only were many of my friends rabid fans, but this is a critically acclaimed show that has won awards after all, that has to mean something right? Wrong! I …

Over the last couple of years, I’ve watched The Closer somewhat irregularly, whenever I would accidentally catch it on TV. I’ve seen some better and worse episodes, and I’ve overall enjoyed the focus of the show, away from the forensic stuff and on the honest-to-goodness old school detective work …

The fifth season of Roseanne was one of the last really great seasons of the show. It was before things got too wacky and the show was still grounded in reality a little bit. I thought the only unrealistic thing was when Roseanne, Jackie, and Nancy opened a restaurant …

It’s funny to me that my least favorite parts of From the Earth to the Moon all air close together. Part 6, Part 8, and now Part 9 are the three that are not on my favorites list. This would be my third least favorite outing, and …

Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment takes a bit of a tragic turn for my favorite, Lt. Simon Adams (Richard Dean Anderson). There’s some fun moments early on, but then something happens that disturbs him greatly, so much so that he is given a ten-day leave.
Back …
