That 70s Show: Sparks
Oh My God, that was one funny episode of the series That 70s Show. I thought I would have a hard time breathing as hard as I was laughing.
Basically, this is one of the episodes that took place when Eric and Donna were going to get married. She gets …
Black Gold: S3, Ep 4 TV Show
The biggest part of Black Gold’s 4th episode from season three was on new driller Ben’s first day on the job. The question was rather or not he could control the unruly bunch of crew and get them to do their jobs.
What is funny about that to me …
Family Guy: Road to Germany
There are days I absolutely cannot stand watching the series Family Guy. And, there are others that aren’t too bad. The episode last night “Road to Germany” was one that I didn’t mind.
This one had an interesting take; Brian and Stewie time travel back to World War II Germany …
M*A*S*H: The Korean Surgeon
M*A*S*H: The Korean Surgeon features Soon-Tek Oh once again. As I’ve said before, this Asian actor has been in everything under the sun, and he might as well be a regular on this wartime comedy because he’s been on a bunch of them. In this particular show, …
One Tree Hill Tv Show
I think I am one of those rare people who really finds that show ridiculous. There’s this bunch of 16 years old kinds who do a bunch of dumb stuff and they treat themselves as they were adults. I know that in my time there was Beverly Hills but …
Two And A Half Men
Charlie Sheen and John Cryer are Charlie and Alan Harper. Two brothers more or less sharing a house on the beach. Actually Charlie owns the house and Alan is just there because he had a choice a roof or the street in order to pay his ex-wife alimony and …
Criminal Minds the TV Series
I have mixed feelings about this show. On one hand, the story line borders on the dark side of humanity, and it sometimes scares me a lot. On the other hand, the plots are very interesting and seem very believable. I like the acting of Thomas Gibson as Agent …
Here Come the Brides: A Man’s Errand
Here Come the Brides: A Man’s Errand is a cute show from the first season of this family drama. It’s a show that shows growth for the character of Jeremy Bolt (Bobby Sherman), the youngest of the Bolt brothers who own Bridal Veil Mountain. In this episode, Jeremy …
Invisibleman season 2 episode 20 Possessed
I like the show Invisibleman because I like these kind of Sci-fi show about people with super powers. This show is about Darien Fawkes whose special power is to turn invisible. But this power is not completely harmless, he has a gland in his brain that produces quick silver …
Stargate SG-1: Counterstrike
It’s back to the worst with Stargate SG-1: Counterstrike. This episode is what I call the bonding show. It’s the one where Daniel and Vala are supposed to bond some more. Where can I throw up? Daniel tells her about Sha’re and that history, in …

The Veil: Destination Nightmare TV Show
The Veil: Destination Nightmare, the seventh episode of this 1958 anthology series was the first one where host Boris Karloff didn’t do the introduction in front of that wonderful giant fireplace. Instead, he’s in a study, walking in front of a map. I was a little disappointed …
Weeds season 1
I watched Weeds Season One on DVD again last week. I was home alone, and the house was so quiet, I found myself seeking a dvd to keep me company.

I was …

Burn Notice: Trust Me
My first reaction to Burn Notice: Trust Me wasn’t positive. There was a lot of ’she’s not my girlfriend’ type of stuff, which is so second grade in my mind. It just ruined any chance I had to even want to watch this episode. While I …
30 Rock: Pilot
I can’t say that this pilot started out all that strong for me. The truth is that I turned it on, left the room and forgot about it until the next day, but then pilots are difficult, and there was a fair amount of humor in this one once …
Supernatural Season 4 episode 6
The episode begins with Dean running for his life, like he is being chased by a ferocious dog. However it turns out to be a cute harmless dog. The episode then goes into flashback mode.
The brothers investigate the weird death of .The weird part is that he died of …
That 70s Show TV Episode: Love Wisconsin Style
I finally got to see the That 70s Show Episode “Love Wisconsin Style.” Well, I should re-phrase that, it wasn’t as though I was waiting forever to see this particular episode. I just missed the part of the series about why Donna and Kelso flee to California for a …
Dead Like Me (Showtime)
I gave the Showtime series “Dead Like Me” a chance one day. I liked the concept—that a young lady would be selected to lead other souls to “wherever.” The pilot episode featured a young 21 year-old girl named George Lass. I found this name a …

MASH - Season 8
The show really started to take a turn for the worst in this season, starting with the departure of long-time main stay Radar. At least they made a point of writing him off the show, unlike what they did with Trapper John earlier in the series, but after his …
House: Joy
I’m not so sure about the cases Dr. House has been getting on the show House lately; they just don’t seem to stand out any more. But, I have to say the episode “Joy” really got me thinking and left me a bit depressed.
We found out last week that …

Ouran High School Host Club
Ouran High School Host Club is probably one of the most favorite anime series I have ever watched and it’s one of the few shows I actually got to finish watching. It’s a funny anime, mixed with outrageous characters and cute romantic scenes that’s it’s bound to make you laugh, …
South Park: Guitar Queero
Being one of the newer episodes of South Park, Guitar Queero plays into the same self enhanced stereotypes the writers of the show have been playing into for a while. While the plot is clear enough, it relies too heavily on the subject matter to make it interesting and …

The Good Wife: Mock TV Show
The Good Wife is a show I watch every week, but even as I watch it, it often bothers me. In fact, the more the show goes along, the more I wonder if I might stop watching. This episode called Mock is a perfect example of why …
The Jamie Foxx Show
I have always thought that The Jamie Foxx Show is a very good show. I really like it and I enjoy it a lot. This is a show that started Jamie Foxx’s career. I find it funny that he was very arrogant and stuck up even while on this show. …
Eli Stone series
I really enjoy this series because it is a well thought out manner of basing a show on the act of doing good deeds for others without seeking a reward. The lead actor playing Eli Stone is very capable of carrying a series. I can believe that …

Highway Patrol: Policewoman TV Show
Season three of Highway Patrol featured a show titled simply Policewoman. This 27th program of the year had a new twist that I really enjoyed quite a bit. The action in the first portion of the show is featured away from the normal cast that includes Broderick …
Highway Patrol: Lookout TV Show
Broderick Crawford is considered such a legend among TV cops. It’s understandable because in this series, Highway Patrol, he plays such a strong type. He barks out commands in rapid fire speak. He amazes me, in fact. He’s a pretty fast talker, and you have …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Traitor TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Traitor from April 1965 was the 32nd show of the series and the last of the first year on the air. The show starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. This series has always …
Fame: A Musical Bridge
Fame: A Musical Bridge has two fairly decent plots going for it. Neither of them on their own really jumps out at me, but together they do enough to make this an okay show for me. It’s not one of my favorites, but I certainly don’t turn …
The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Episode 1: “The Return”
When I last saw the little town of Mystic Falls Virginia last season of The Vampire Diaries, the townspeople were trying to pick up the pieces after a vampire unveiling turned sour, killing not only vampires but humans as well.
Elena Gilbert had just saved her vampire boyfriend Stefan and …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Hunter’s Moon
“Hunter’s Moon” is the 22nd episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. I was disappointed that this episode did not pick up where the last episode ended, since episode 21 ended with a cliffhanger. Instead, we are treated to a mission with Hawkgirl and two lesser …

Friends Episode: The One Where Joey Speaks French

Fairly Odd Parents: Power Mad
Well, at least the second episode in the Fairly Oddparents series isn’t too bad. This one, entitled “Power Mad” lets us meet Timmy’s best friends, Chester and AJ in a way that is kind of interesting.
Since he has fairies who can grant him just about everything, Timmy keeps wishing …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 4: 1968
1968 was a nasty year around the globe, and America took its share of the hits. It was another bloody year of war in Vietnam, making life at home difficult. Protests were everywhere. Martin Luther King was assassinated, and before the country could recover, Robert Francis …
Star Trek: Assignment: Earth TV Show
If I recall correctly, Star Trek: Assignment: Earth, the last show of the second season, was actually a pilot for series that didn’t sell. It would have starred Robert Lansing as Gary Seven with Teri Garr as Roberta Lincoln. Personally, I liked it, and I would have …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wild at Heart
At some point, I knew Willow’s relationship with Oz was going to go south. After all, he’s a werewolf and, three nights out of the month, he has no control over his actions.
Of course, up until the time I saw the episode “Wild at Heart” I figured their impending …
Fireball XL5: XL5 to H20
One of the best parts of Fireball XL5: XL5 to H20 was a really funny scene with Professor Matt Matic. He was doing one of his experiments when everything exploded. He looks like he’s been right in the middle of it, too. Naturally, no one is hurt, …
The Next Iron Chef: Respect TV Show
For me, the most recent episode of The Next Iron Chef which was entitled Respect was a little lackluster for me. I’ll go so far as to call it bland. I wasn’t engaged by it or even that interested, and that is very unusual for me. …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: God Save the Queen
Things are turning south for this show. While there is intrigue, I see indications of it going by way of Bring ‘Em Back Alive, and I think that’s a shame. In Tales of the Gold Monkey: God Save the Queen, Jake and Corky discover that someone they …
Diagnosis Murder: The Last Laugh: Part 2 TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: The Last Laugh: Part 2 concludes the events from the prior week’s episode, and there’s some good stuff contained within its hour.
