The Simpsons: Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou?
We ended up catching the new Simpson’s episode last night “Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou? Because we thought it would end up being a Christmas episode based on the commercials.
It wasn’t. And, it wasn’t a very good episode either.
Basically, there is a power outage and Bart (who doesn’t know …
Crowned tv show
A new reality tv show is starting! This is the premiere of Crowned: The Mother of all Pageants. The name of the show is hilarious. I am so excited for this show to start. I have been seeing advertisements on television all month long for the start of this …
That Girl: That Senorita
There’s an odd thing that I noticed in That Girl: That Senorita. It’s the fifth season and while things began to ease up in the fourth season, in this one things are definitely looser in tone and style. It’s a sign of the times in which That …
Diagnosis Murder: Many Happy Returns TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Many Happy Returns is the first episode of season two for this medical sleuthing series which stars the wonderful Dick Van Dyke as Dr. Mark Sloan. Following are a few observations about this showing.
–One of the first things I noticed was Victoria Rowell’s new hair style and …
Around the World in Two Days
I watched last night’s episode of Project Runway, Around the World in Two Days and was somewhat impressed with the level of competition that is starting to show now that he contest has been narrowed down to only a few designers.
For the most part, I think this episode proved …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: When She Was Bad
I finally got a chance to start season 2 of the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, starting with the first episode “When She was Bad.” And, I have to say this episode was pretty good.
One of my biggest complaints about the series is they never show the traumatic …
Highway Patrol: Counterfeit TV Show
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 …
M*A*S*H: Our Finest Hour
M*A*S*H: Our Finest Hour is a retrospective of the comedy show’s first seven seasons. While there is some new footage, several interview clips from season four’s The Interview are re-used. Clete Roberts, who also conducted the original interviews, returns here with additional scenes.
As in season four’s show, …

A Man Called Hawk: The Divided Child
From February 1989, A Man Called Hawk: The Divided Child isn’t a show that I enjoyed very much. In fact, I had a difficult time keeping focused on it during the first half. There was a lot of action and shoot ‘em up, and it just didn’t …
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 …
Wife Swap
I have watched this show a couple of times on lifetime movie network. It is somewhat interesting and entertaining to watch. Some episodes are a lot better than others. I think it gives people a learning experience who do the wife swap. My favorite part of the show is …
The Cleaner: Rebecca
Steven Culp and Kelly Lynch guest starred in The Cleaner: Rebecca. This was another solid episode with a lot of drama to it which I enjoyed watching. Both Culp and Lynch are excellent performers and they bring a lot to the table. Lynch is especially riveting …
No Ordinary Family TV Show
I just finished watching the new science fiction dramedy called No Ordinary Family, which is appropriate because it’s not an ordinary series. Part sci fi, part drama, part comedy, and even part family hour, the show has a ways to go in really finding its identity.
We have the …
Stargate SG1: The First Commandment
This episode dealt with a Colonel from Stargate Command who actually fell for the, “You’re a God,” rhetoric that primitive people always spouted when teams came through the Stargate.
Seems another Stargate team was sent to a planet and never returned. When SG1 arrives, they find out from one …
“Snapped” (Oxygen crime show)
I didn’t realize there were so many women in the world who were willing to kill their husbands, boyfriends, and rivals in order to get what they want in the world. Some of the women featured on the show have killed abusive husbands and stepfathers. Others have …
The Office: Local Ad
This season of The Office has been alternating between hour-long episodes and half hour episodes and again I find that the half hour episodes are far better. Local Ad is one of those shorter episodes, but it still feels a little like filler.
Perhaps the need for every episode of …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - Ripped Pants
This episode by far is my favorite episode of Spongebob Square pants . Even as an adult I think that you can really enjoy and get into this show because he is funny and so darn cute. I started to watch Spongebob before any of my children …
The Simpsons TV Episode: The Bob Next Door
I haven’t watched re-runs of the Simpsons in a while and finally had a chance to catch the one that always airs at 6 p.m. on weekdays last night.
This time around, it was a newer episode I hadn’t seen before; The Bob Next Door. Since it was new, I …
ABS-CBN’s Showbiz News Ngayon
I regularly watch the Showbiz News Ngayon (SNN) program on ABS CBN. I am thoroughly entertained with the format of the show and the undeniable chemistry of Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino. The format of the show keeps close tabs of the famous stars in the local show business …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fight at Adobe Wells TV show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fight at Adobe Wells wasn’t one of my favorite outings for this particular western show. The half-hour didn’t flow for me. In many ways, it just felt like another story with nothing special in it to even make it memorable.
Richard Boone’s Paladin …
Ghost Hunters: Crescent Hotel & Dr. Ellis
OK, I have to say it. I have watched plenty of Ghost Hunters episodes in the past and have been left with doubts about what they have found. But, when I saw the Season 2 episode “Crescent Hotel & Dr. Ellis” I have to admit I was pretty creeped …
Wave Broadband - Cable Television Service
I hear praises about cable television on dramas and comedies aired on free channels more than I do in reality. In the real world, where people pay expenses, people complain about how the channels they receive with cable are not worth the price. My family owns Wave Broadband, and …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Ultimatum
Ultimatum is the ninth episode of season one of Justice League: Unlimited. Is is also one of the weakest episodes in the series, although it does start a major plotline involving the United States government.
This episode introduces a group of young heroes so forgetable that I do not …
House: Not Cancer
OK, not only was the lastest episode of House “Not Cancer,” entertaining, it had to be one of the grossest episodes I’ve seen recently; a good combination for network television.
This episode was interesting because you have a series of people dying after receiving an organ transplant from the same …
M*A*S*H: Snap Judgment
M*A*S*H: Snap Judgment is the first part of a two-part episode that focuses with items being stolen from the 4077th. In this first installment, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) are sent a brand new Polaroid camera by the grateful father of a patient. …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid TV Show
From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid is a terrific show. It’s so dramatic, but I love the humor in it. This 19th show of the third season begins with a cute scene in the control room of the Seaview. It …

Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 6 Sophmore Jinx
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 6 Sophmore Jinx
I did not like this episode, because, first of all, I didn’t understand it. And secondly, I didn’t understand the point of having it at all. Eventually, the killer is discovered, the oldest story that happens in …
The Whole Truth: Pilot TV Show
The pilot for the new TV series, The Whole Truth, was just okay in my opinion. The show features Rob Morrow as a fast paced defense attorney, along with Maura Tierney as the lead prosecutor. This gives the viewer both sides of the story, so to speak.
At …
The Guard TV show
I have been so impressed with the new Global television series, “The Guard”. Usually, it is sad to say, Canadian Shows are not worth watching, but this one is awesome. The dramatic series follows the lives of 4 members of the Canadian Coast Guard. The cast …
Gilligan’s Island - Angel on the Island TV show
There are several references to angels in this episode. Not the real angels in white with wings but angels in reference to special people such as Ginger and her acting career and Mr. Howell. Mr. Howell refers himself to an angel with his wings clipped, in other words …
MacGyver: The Spoilers
Season three was not the year for me to be watching MacGyver. Right now I’m not sure if I watched all of these or not because I’m just way too animal sensitive to watch shows where animals are killed. I cry and get too depressed. Kill …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Don Rickles TV Show
Don’t be confused by the title of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Dean Martin began doing roasts on his TV show and they went over so well that they became their own unofficial series of sort — The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. Those participants were usually labeled …

Castle Season 4 Episode 2 (TV show)
Wow, this was a really interesting and unique episode of Castle. This is the beauty of this show, only they can make an episode like that believable, any other crime show would have looked ridiculous trying to pull off a story about a superhero who slices people right in …
Futurama TV Episode: When Aliens Attack
I decided to take off from work a bit early today so I could work in the garden. Realizing I was hungry, I sat down for a bite to eat before going outside and watched a Futurama episode; When Aliens Attack.
This one was actually kind of a clever episode …
Psych: Murder, anyone, anyone, bueller?
After it’s first season, the show Psych has gotten a bit stale. But, one of the more recent episodes “Murder…anyone…anyone…Bueller” isn’t too bad compared to many of the other newer episodes.
This one takes place at Sean and Gus’ high school reunion and Sean witnesses a classmate falling from the …
That Girl: Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman
Season two of That Girl begins with one of my favorite episodes for the entire series. It’s called Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman and obviously guest stars the wonderful Ethel Merman.
First, though, it’s appropriate to mention the new opening for the show. It’s actually much more sophisticated …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Hobson’s Choice TV Show
Hobson’s Choice was an episode of Have Gun - Will Travel that aired towards the end of the fifth season, in April 1962. It was oddly entertaining, and I say that it was odd because it uses a very well known real life person and then proceeds to …
MacGyver: The Golden Triangle
Mac heads for Burma and becomes involved in helping some of the locals to get free of the opium dealers who want them to harvest their crops. It’s essentially slavery, and Mac can’t help himself after he meets one of the young boys. He’s saddened by what …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show
This TV show was very popular while it was on, featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy, a girl who moves to a new town after she’s been kicked out of her old school. The reason she was kicked out was that she is The Slayer, and so she was …
MXC TV show
This is a unique show on Spike. It’s actually a Japanese game show that relies on strange physical challenges and obstacle courses. While this might be entertaining in its own right, the true entertainment value of the show comes from its dubbing. They’ve thrown out any …
Psych TV Episode: Not So Close Encounters
My wife didn’t stay up to watch it, but I managed to see the latest episode of Psych last night; Not So Close Encounters. And, so far, I think it is the best one I have seen this season.
Basically, we learn early on that Shawn and Gus are obsessed …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Symbiosis
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Symbiosis is one of the blander episodes from the first season and only a mildly interesting Prime Directive story. I also feel that the dialogue at times is a little awkward and forced, like during the conversation of Lt. Yar and Acting Ensign …
