I Love New York show
“I Love New York” is a spin-off of “Flavor of Love.” “New York” was one of the competitors on “Flavor of Love” and I suppose VH-1 thought she was so outrageous that she deserved to get her own show. “I Love New York” has a houseful of men …
Burn Notice show
Burn Notice is a show on the USA Network channel. This show is about an American spy that’s been burned, in other words fired, and his whole identity and all the perks that came with his job was wiped out. He ends up in Miami, Florida and as the …
Law and Order vs. CSI Miami
The two popular shows Law and Order and CSI Miami are both very interesting and have a lot of positive and intriguing aspects to them. Personally, I would choose CSI Miami because I am the type of person who likes to see all the behind-the-scene action. Unlike …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 9: Space
From what I’ve read, this episode was critically lambasted. To its credit, the episode does have some strong ideas behind it, but the execution of it ends up doing the plot a disservice. There are several instances where astronauts have reported seeing something out in space during …
Stargate SG-1: Ethon
Stargate SG-1: Ethon brings the return of Jared Kane from the season eight episode, Icon. That’s the episode where Kane’s wife became a little too fond of Daniel. She’s not in this episode, the character having died as she refused to embrace Origin.
Basically, Kane’s world is worse …
Americas next top model
I really like this show. It’s not one of my favorite shows but I do watch it whenever I see it on. I usually end up watching a marathon of it. I like the show because it has Tyra in it and I also like the show because it …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Pokemon Emergency! (Episode)
“Pokemon Emergency!” is the second episode of the Pokemon television series and it picks up pretty much right where the previous episode, “Pokemon, I Choose You!” left off. This episode covers almost as much ground as the first episode does, and it really is an half-hour that goes by …
Wodehouse Playhouse by P.G. Wodehouse
I love P.G. Wodehouse. I think I first discovered him through the 1990 British Television Series “Jeeves and Wooster” starring Stephen Fry as the well-known British gentleman’s gentleman and Hugh Laurie as the bumbling, fumbling Bertie Wooster. However, I may have discovered the books first. I’m just not sure.
Happily, …
Due South: Mountie and Soul
Due South: Mountie and Soul doesn’t begin promisingly for me. I don’t like boxing, and the story begins with Fraser, the Vecchio replacement, and Francesca at a boxing ring. Too much of these stories are being focused on this newcomer, Callum Keith Rennie, as the Vecchio replacement …
Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 2 is the second episode of season nine, a season I’d just as soon forget, with a handful of exceptions.
Mainly, this episode continues the ridiculous plot of Daniel and Vala being linked because of these bracelets that she found. Neither can stay too far …
House: Epic Fail
Last night was another new episode of House; one that sets up his return to being a doctor.
After getting out of the mental institution, he decides to quit because he feels being a doctor is what led to him becoming an addict. He ends up taking up cooking instead …
What not to Wear
What not to wear, after 250 episodes, somehow manages to still be one of my favorite things to watch on television. In each episode, one fashion challenged person is nominated by his or her friends for a trip to New York, a fashion consultation with Stacy London and …
Alias Smith and Jones: Exit from Wickenburg
Alias Smith and Jones: Exit from Wickenburg is a fun entry for the second regular episode of this western starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy as outlaws Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry. In this show, they become saloon managers after catching cheats in a card game. Susan …
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. …
Will & Grace
Will & Grace is a sitcom about a gay man, Will, and his straight best friend, Grace. The two live in New York City and spend a lot of time with their eccentric friends Jack and Karen.
The show follows the four friends as they deal with dating, marriage, friendship, …
Bones TV Episode: The Feet on the Beach
Synopsis: Bones receives unwanted help from a Canadian foot expert after a bunch of severed feet wind up on the United States/Canadian border and she needs to figure out who they belonged to and how they got there. The episode first aired April 7, 2011.
What I liked about this …
CHiPs: Baby Food
One of the fun things about the Baby Food episode of CHiPs is that we can extrapolate what the show might have been had Erik Estrada won the role of Frak Poncherello. This is because Joe Nicassio guest stars as a young man, sort of hippie-ish, who is …
Stargate SG-1: Window of Opportunity
Stargate SG-1: Window of Opportunity is a taste of fresh air in season four of this science fiction series. It’s a comedic retreat that occurs when Jack and Teal’c are the only two on Earth who realize they are reliving the same events, over and over again.
Watching the …
Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk and the Really, Really Dead Guy
I had Friday off from work because we didn’t have a baby sitter. And, because my youngest didn’t let me do much else, I found myself watching some Monk re-runs on TV (one of the channels happened to have a marathon on Friday).
Even though most of the episodes were …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Doll
After Larry’s latest behaviour; “Aren’t you Evelyn?” has now been picked up by ABC. But this reassuring new development doesn’t last for long, and as usual, Larry’s at the core of it all.
At a party hosted by an ABC bigwig; a broken bathroom lock serves as the catalyst …
House : Skin Deep
This has got to be one of the best switches I have seen on “House” so far. The story involves a supermodel who punches out another model and then collapses on the catwalk. They discover heroin in her blood and so at first they assume it is that, and …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Solid Gold Patrol
I have problems with The Solid Gold Patrol episode of Have Gun - Will Travel from season 2. The basic premise is that a corporal in the army has won the New Orleans lottery which was worth $600,000. I must admit straight up that I didn’t even …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Doing Time
In this episode, Spoongebob gets into a lot of trouble when he is taking his driving exam and practically wrecks all of Bikini Bottom because he really doesn’t know how to drive. When Mrs. Puff is found guilty of not properly teaching him, she is thrown into jail. The …
Supernatural TV series
Supernatural is without a doubt the best thing to come along in paranormal horror in a long time. Having begun in 2005, it is still airing in 2011! That is true staying power.
Supernatural has become one of those show that I really can’t stand to miss. It has …
Medium: Where Were You When…? TV Show
Where Were You When…? is the latest episode from Patricia Arquette’s spirit oriented drama, Medium. This show is close to being cancelled now that CBS has reduced its series order to just 13 shows. I still enjoy the show, but there are redundant parts and with …
Project Runway (Even Designers Get the Blues)
This episode of Project Runway was definitely worth watching this week. Rather than getting to work with their choice of fabric, the designers were forced to use denim; more specifically, Levi denim taken from blue jeans and other denim outfits.
Of course, you have the usual trash talking throughout the …
The Dick Van Dyke Show - The Complete First Season (DVD Season Set)
“The Dick Van Dyke Show” is one of the rarer classic sitcoms when it comes to finding the television show on television stations. Fortunately, Image Entertainment has released all the seasons to DVD and boy did they ever do a fine job treating this classic television show with the …
Doctor Who season 1 episode 5 World War Three
The Doctor and Rose are on Earth and an alien craft hit the Earth. The Doctor is taken to 10 Downing Street as an expert on aliens but then the general and the new prime minister take off the human skin and show that they are aliens. They also …
Sea Hunt: Amigo TV Show
From March 1961, Sea Hunt: Amigo was an interesting episode that I liked but have an issue with as far as the plot goes. Deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) takes a job in San Carlos, Mexico to help extract fossils from a seemingly very difficult …
Law and Order Special VIcitims Unit “Limitations” Episode
Before this episode, I used to wonder if rape victims truly ever forgive their rapists and found it hard to believe that some of them actually do. However, the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Limitations” shed new light on it and one of the possible negativities of …
That Girl: It’s a Mod, Mod World - Part 1
That Girl: It’s a Mod, Mod World is the first part of a two-part story, though both parts have the same title. The main plot in this show from the second season is that Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) gets a job as a model for a hotshot British …
Sea Hunt: Expedition TV Show
Expedition is a fourth year show from the underwater action adventure series, Sea Hunt. The show starred Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson, ex-Navy frogman and expert deep sea diving expert.
Robert F. Simon guest stars as Professor Aaron Halliday, Nelson’s old history professor. He calls Nelson to help …
Hogan’s Heroes TV Episode: Praise the Fuehrer and Pass the Ammunition
I was able to watch a couple Hogan’s Heroes episodes at lunch today, including one called “Praise the Fuehrer and Pass the Ammunition.” This episode was somewhat funny, but honestly could have been better.
The main point of this episode is Hogan and his men are hoping to switch live …
House: Saviors
Last night’s episode of House, entitled “Saviors” was actually one of the better House episodes I’ve seen in recent history.
This, of course, is the episode that takes place one week after the shocker involving Kutner’s suicide and the team has to figure out the cause of an environmentalist’s sudden …
The Soup on E!
I have been watching Joel McHale host The Soup for years now, and I never get tired of watching him tear into reality TV stars, plastic-looking talk show hosts and other general douchebags every week! I don’t watch much reality TV, and generally try to steer clear of …
The Twilight Zone: Long Live Walter Jameson TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Long Live Walter Jameson is one of the shows I really don’t like much. A big part of that is the primary guest star, Kevin McCarthy, who is one of those boring actors in my opinion. I realize he’s done a lot, but for …
Red Dwarf: Duct Soup
In this episode of “Red Dwarf” Cryton is upset about having a new female crewmate convincing himself that Lister is going to ignore him and even send him away if he doesn’t do something so he sets the power and backup power systems to go down.
The only way to …
Adam 12 - Logs 61 and 172
I’ve decided to combine these two “Adam-12″ episodes. My favorite of the two is “Log 61″ which evokes heart and compassion from Officer’s Reed and Malloy when they get called to residence for a possible break in.
The call comes from two young children, whose parents are out. …
The Office TV Show
A few years ago, NBC’s The Office was the best show on the air. Quick, clever, and hilarious, this was a pleasure to tune into each and every week. The excitement of the tension between Pam and Jim, the awkwardness that Michael is sure to cause, and Dwight’s disturbing …
The Twilight Zone: Valley of the Shadow TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Valley of the Shadow is very enjoyable to watch. It’s a mystery that held my interest and kept me guessing, all the way to the end.
Ed Nelson is the primary guest star, playing a reporter named Philip Redfield who passes through a small town. …
CSI Season 12 Episode 4
While watching episode 4 of season 12 of CSI, it became very clear to me that the show is changing direction. At first it looked like the addition of Ted Danson in the role of DB Russell, the new shift supervisor allowed the show to be a little bit …
Mad TV television series
One of my favorite comedy series at this point is “Mad TV” which I have noticed is broadcast on the channels Comedy Central and Fox. I do not watch it on Fox though, since I’ve noticed that it seems to be broadcast there when I am in the middle …
Ghost Hunters: Lighthouse Inn
Another Ghost Hunters episode and another one where they really don’t find much in terms of evidence of ghosts. The third episode of the series “Lighthouse Inn” was one that wasn’t the most impressive for me.
On one hand, they seemed to at least have some personal experiences both at …
The Jetsons
The Jetsons is a great TV show that started in the 60s. But later there were more shows made in the 80s and the re runs were shown for decades. This is a great show, and I really love how they thought the 21th Century was going to be. The …
Stargate SG-1: Uninvited
Stargate SG-1: Uninvited is the second show without Michael Shanks in it for the tenth season. He’s definitely missed, but the show isn’t that bad. In truth, having Vala around makes the Jonas Quinn character of season six almost acceptable. I think I’d rather watch his …
Celebrity Ghost Stories (TV series)
I generally find some reality television series about supposed real life hauntings to be addictive. For example, I loved watching the television series “Ghost Hunters” when my time wasn’t so limited and when it would air regularly on the cable television channel Syfy. I also liked watching series such …
Wagon Train: The Widow O’Rourke Story
Wagon Train: The Widow O’Rourke Story is one of my favorites. It’s really quite different and interesting, and Robert Fuller gets to play two parts. Along with his regular role as Cooper Smith, the scout for the wagon train, in flashbacks he plays the Irish husband of …
Criminal Minds Season 2 Episode 21- Open Season
Here is another quite creepy episode of the genius show Criminal Minds. In this show a victim is discovered in the woods with the evidence that he was kidnapped and then shot with arrows, they way that an animal would get hunted. The team is sent to investigate and …
