–Burnett joked about being on the unemployment in 3 weeks, but the real …

I just finished watching the third episode in the sixth season of Project Runway. I have been an avid follower of this show since the third season, and I desperately hunted down the first two seasons in DVD. Fortunately, I saw it on a re-run some time ago, in …

We’ve been watching a lot of Christmas specials on TV the past couple of days and came across one I hadn’t seen before; even though it has been out for some time.
At first, I thought A Jetson’s Christmas Carol would end up being a predictable and boring story. I …

Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a popular television show that began airing in the 1990s. The show features a cast consisting of a narrator and his robot friends, who comment in the background through old movies. Each episode features a movie, usually a little-known movie, and always …

Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations begins with the always insecure Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) grousing about Teyla keeping her baby from him. It’s an insane conversation that includes a tidbit about McKay having been dropped when he was an infant. I’m with Sheppard — it explains a …

Beast Wars - Transmutate is a story that is sad and most certainly different. I like it for a couple of reasons. For one, it offers a subliminal commentary on how that which is different is often the source of disgust and sometimes the source of feelings that desire …

I have watched every episode of NCIS currently on air. The show itself has many good points that keeps me returning to it every time I see it on my guide channel. The characters depth and personality, story development, and interesting interesting twists and turns keep me …

This was the second episode of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files”. I think that this one is also a must watch for many people who are X-Files fans as it shows a young Mulder and Scully as well as it helps to show the contrast in …

Las Vegas is a show about Casino Montecito and about the private and business related problems the employees encounter.
The second season ended when Montecito got sold to a secret buyer and we also found out that Danny’s Dad died in a car accident. Danny works in the security department …

For me, the real star of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Steel Horses is Comet the wonder horse. I adore Comet in this show. There are some really good scenes with him in this episode.
The show deals with Brisco getting a look at the coming thing, …

One of my favourite television talk shows is Oprah. Oprah is on Channel 10 at 1pm in the afternoon.
One of the reasons why I like watching her shows is because Oprah the talk show host is really genuine and down to earth. I like it how she has not …

Coming off the heels of the wonderful City of Roses episode, Firewall continues to add excellence in entertainment for the Jeremiah science fiction series. One of the good things about this series, which Luke Perry both stars in and acts as the executive producer of, is that we …

I never tire of this television show, season after season. In my opinion, it is the best show on television, and a welcome relief from the deluge of mindless reality television shows which assume the viewers have low intelligence and a high tolerance for monotony. Hugh Laurie’s portrayal of …

I’m not sure what I think of the women of Lipstick and Dynamite. Their story is one of the first women who were professional wrestlers. If you want to see a story about truly strong women, in many ways then this is the perfect story.
Wrestling, while staged, is certainly not …

Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 5 has Section 9 continuing their investigation into the identity of the Laughing Man and they tail a anti-corporate suspect.
This episode is pretty good and it was very interesting to watch and the mystery keeps getting better and better. I …

“The Unwelcome Houseguest” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. In this episode, Buddy asks Rob to keep his dog at his house while he and his wife go away for the weekend. Rob reluctantly agrees and brings home Buddy’s big dog for the weekend, much to …

The leftover remnants of Michael Shanks’ original story idea show up in this seventh season episode. Stargate SG-1: Resurrection is actually a bit of Hannibal Lecter meets the NID. It’s just not the type of story one would imagine Shanks writing, and it’s really not. It’s …

Yeah, I just don’t feel Ghost Hunters Academy. The show is interesting at times but the whole contest thing just doesn’t seem to have any sort of guidelines for the show to work with.
Last week, they got rid of Heathyr. This week, they didn’t even make an effort to …

I think “Law and Order Special Victims Unit” is one of the most popular shows being aired on American cable television now. It is aired on Jamaican local television as well, but I know it is a hit television series since I have spoken to people in many different …

Adam-12: Log 76: The Militants is a rather serious episode of this thirty-minute police drama from the mind of Jack Webb. It begins with the shooting of a police officer and a black militant. It becomes a circus and one of those politically hyped stories where no …

This episode of the long running wartime comedy took place mostly as a flashback. In M*A*S*H: The Novocaine Mutiny, Frank Burns (Larry Linville) has once again brought Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) up on charges, this time for mutiny of all things. With a colonel present to reside …

Highway Patrol: Fake Cop is a second season episode of this highly regarded police drama from the year 1957. The show revolves around a trio of robbers who have a rather unique way of committing robberies, and that is by creating a situation whereby right after the crime, …

Dexter is certainly not the sort of show I would think of ordinarily watching. As someone who isn’t keen on blood or gore at the best of times the last thing I would think of watching is something as macabre as this.
So what is it all about? Well, the …

I have been very disappointed with the Simpsons series lately. Last night’s episode “G.I.” did redeem them a little bit.
The episode, which had Homer enlisting in the Army only to be hunted down as part of a war games exercise, brought the show back to its political satire roots.
It …

Written by Rod Serling, I felt that The Twilight Zone: King Nine Will Not Return, which was this first show of the second season, was weak. It was bland and has always left me feeling disconnected and uninvolved. Even though there is that moment of ‘oh …

The Twilight Zone loves to go to the past, and sometimes to the future, but shifting through time is one element of storytelling that is prevalent throughout the entirety of the series. In 1963’s No Time Like the Past, Dana Andrews stars as a scientist named Paul Driscoll …

I didn’t watch Ghost Hunters at the beginning of its run about five years ago, but I have watched off and on for the last couple of years. They tend to go to a lot of old places that have reported haunts or mysterious happenings. One of …

Laramie: Queen of Diamonds is a marvelous first show for the second season of this western that I adore greatly. One of the things that make it special is the guest star, Julie London. Decades later, London co-starred with Laramie star Robert Fuller in Emergency! While …

Overall, I like this show. I really love seeing the transformations! Most of these people are really obese when they come on the show. Some of them even over 400 pounds. Then, when the season is over, they have lost over 100 pounds usually, if not …

I watched the local TV series Moonface which had 6 episodes before. And this is shown on my local channel Kids Central and it has an element of mysteriousness and hauntings.
There is this character Mr Ghost, the 3 children investigation and Woo, the ‘Casper’ type of ghost …

This episode puts focus on Barbara as an old enemy from her past life as Batgirl seemingly returns from the grave. Even if it was just a flashback to showcase the backstory, it was still nice to see Barbara as Batgirl again.
Said enemy is Lady Shiva, …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 18 has Batou and the Major in Germany trying to track down the terrorist known as Angel’s Feathers.
This was a very interesting and well done episode. It showed an interesting side of Batou and showed off his detective skills …

Naturally, when the colonel arrives, Margaret can’t …

I watched this show because I am an avid enthusiast where ghosts and other paranormal activity are concerned. Seeing that this program attempts to deal with the most severe cases, I was immediately intrigued. I watched in full the first time—and episode wherein a young …

Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy is back for more underwater action in Sea Hunt: Time Fuse, a third season episode which aired back in July 1960. Nimoy appeared in several shows from this adventure series. They must have loved his work since they brought him back so often, …

I am reviewing The Dancing Men, a Sherlock Holmes adventure from the boxed set Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, produced in 1983 by Granada Television. In this episode, Holmes is employed by Hilton Cubit, who brings Holmes some curious drawings of stick figured men, who appear to be dancing …

This is a great television show that I was turned on to by my sister who also likes the show. If you haven’t already heard about The Office, it’s a hysterical view of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. The head boss Michael Scott bases his work ethics on fun …

Here Come the Brides: A Man and His Magic features Jack Albertson in a flamboyant and yet endearing role of a man who claims to be able to control the weather. He puts on a big show during a rainstorm, and sure enough, the rain stops. Though …

Man, this show is good. The group comes across a professor who is looking for an ancient library filled with centuries worth of knowledge. Sokka convinces them to join him, thinking that they can learn about the fire nation to begin forming a strategy.
This episode is quite …

Fireball XL5: Space Pirates tickles me pink. Anytime I see a group of puppets being used in a different plot device, it makes me smile. In this case, Gerry Anderson had the beautiful Venus, a space doctor, visiting the Jonathan Zero, Jr., the son of Commander Zero. …

On The Up was written by Bob Larby and screened in the UK between 1990 and 1992, this box set contains all three series.

I was watching TV late last night and came across some re-runs of the show Futurama. I haven’t seen this series in a while and was glad they were showing an episode I have actually seen before and love called Parasites Lost.
This episode has Fry and Leela at a …

The episode “Initiation” was a great way to start Season One of Justice League Unlimited, now on DVD. Like most episodes, this episode featured a small group of heroes, allowing the audience to learn and appreciate their various personalities. This episode featured Supergirl, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, …

I like Star Trek: Wolf in the Fold. It’s a murder mystery that is quite intriguing. It all begins on an innocent boys night out for Kirk, McCoy, and Scotty. I have to admit I enjoy this opening scene with the girl dancer. I love …

Funny how the previous episode was titled “Complications” when in this one, things do nothing but get even more complicated, for better or worse? I’m not quite sure. Sarah’s obsession with the three dot symbol from the basement is further explored here for the most part. She comes across …

Well, I didn’t know kids could be suspended from school in the 1970s just for smoking so I learned something today from That 70s Show at lunch. The episode, Eric Gets Suspended, is definitely an interesting one.
Basically, Eric isn’t the one who is smoking, Donna is apparently rebelling for …

MacGyver: The Gauntlet is another episode with lots of action in it. MacGyver is once again sent overseas, to South America, to rescue a photographer, played by Robin Curtis. She’s got the goods on a couple of bad guys, and they know it. Hence, the big …

In CHiPs: Crack-Up, Jon is injured chasing a couple of drag racers. We get some good time angst for a few minutes while we wait to find out the results, like we didn’t know he’d pull through. I love this kind of stuff, though. All that …

From November 1958, Highway Patrol: Train Robbery was the 8th outing of the fourth TV season, and it really was different. I love fresh shows, things that weren’t done before. Granted, that isn’t always easy, but it can be done. The premise of this half hour …
