As season five of Stargate SG-1 winds down, it offers up what is actually a very good episode in Menace, except for a couple of mitigating factors and one really big episode omission.
Michael Shanks who played Daniel Jackson had decided to leave the show due to a number of …

In ways, I was disappointed in Dead Like Me: My Room because the advancement of the mother and daughter storyline that had begun two episodes back more or less went down the tubes here. I just didn’t like the downward spiral that was continuing here between Joy and …

Recently, before my cable got cut off and I still had VH1, I had become very disinterested in all of VH1’s reality television programmes. Therefore, when I saw their new reality television series “You’re Cut Off!” advertising before its premiere, I completely dismissed it, and practically forgot about it. …

My 19-month old daughter is a fan of the popular children’s TV series, In the Night Garden. We even bought some DVDs for her the other day. Then we saw the book version of the show and she instantly recognised the characters and smiled when she saw it. So …

Whenever the TAPS team ends up in New Jersey, it is almost always going to be a disappointment. The cases in the Garden State Ghosts episode weren’t much different.
They visited two places, an old mill and the proprietary house that once housed a royal governor. The highlight of both …

For me, Chase: Paranoia was pretty intense, though that wasn’t necessarily a positive. In some ways, this episode felt like a rerun, not of this new series, of course, but of other shows and movies I’ve seen. That doesn’t mean it was not an enjoyable watch; it …

As The Andy Griffith Show: The Bookie Barber opens, young Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) is arguing with Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) about getting a haircut. He says he can still see out of his eyes, so he doesn’t need one yet. Alas, things don’t go his way …

Bones is a crime drama that stars former Angel star David Boreanaz as Seely Booth, a FBI agent who enlists the help of socially awkward anthropologist Temperance Brennan. It is based on the life and books of Kathy Reichs.
The series is your typical boy/girl partnership trope, but it …

The Prisoner: Fall Out is the final episode of this single-season series, and my understanding is that there was all kind of outrage because of how it ended. I’ve read that McGoohan actually left England to get away from the complaints. That’s hard to imagine, so …

Ba Sing Se is under siege and it’s up to the newly named Team Avatar (that is much easier to type out than “Aang and crew”) to stop it. The King thinks he has the situation under control, sending out a platoon of his best troops, but Ty …

To be totally honest, I was mostly bored and disappointed throughout Jeremiah: Ring of Truth. It was a very odd show, full mushroom hallucinations, a drag queen brothel, and a circus. I really wasn’t interested in any of it until the last ten or fifteen minutes. …

It is so very much entertaining and fun to watch Britney Spears on Ellen. There was this special showcase for the holiday that Ellen had put through and she, along with Britney went over to several homes and purely doing just that; singing and dancing and whatnot. Tremendously …

After last night’s Simpson’s repeat, I left the TV on and started watching the Family Guy episode that was following it; Quagmire’s Dad. About 10 minutes into the episode, I realized it really wasn’t suitable for my daughter and sent her out of the room (I told her she …

Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 18 begins with Aang, Katara and Sokka finally arriving at the North Pole and being welcomed by the Northern Water Tribe after a short confrontation. Sokka falls in love with the tribe’s princess while Katara wants to learn waterbending from a master who …

The third season of the great police drama Adam-12 began in September 1970 with Log 174: Loan Sharks. The first thing that’s really noticeable is the new introduction. This is the one that ends with the police car rolling into a lot right towards the viewer and …

“Orpheus 3.3″ was one of the saddest episodes of 21 Jump Street that I ever watched.
The concept of the episode is the fact that Hanson is ready to break up with is girlfriend, Amy. He tells Penhall that he hates doing that because he does not want to …

I had heard about the television show Iron Chef. But, until last night, I hadn’t taken the time to watch it. While I found it somewhat interesting, I’m not sure if it’s a show I would watch on a regular basis.
Basically, the premise behind Iron Chef is you have …

This is the season where it all began for the unforgettable and groundbreaking sitcom that forever changed the television landscape. I think that Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment missed a wonderful opportunity by not including any sort of interviews, retrospectives or behind the scenes peaks into what went on in …

One of my biggest guilty pleasures is watching series about people’s experiences with the supernatural, especially during Halloween time. The problem that I’ve had with many of these series though is that they’re extremely trite, hard to believe and not scary at all. I started watching Paranormal Witness because not …

Laramie: Man from Kansas, a second season outing of this hit western, is definitely one of my all time favorite episodes of this awesome western that stars John Smith as Slim Sherman and Robert Fuller as Jess Harper. There is so much conflict and emotion in this hour …

Sea Hunt: Rapture of the Deep is a little different than some other shows. Skin diving expert Mike Nelson, played well by Lloyd Bridges, begins his usual opening narration by saying that the job he was about to take was his most dangerous assignment yet. What I …

When Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) heads away for a few days in M*A*S*H: Tell It to the Marines, he leaves Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) in charge. Winchester ultimately takes advantage of the situation, convincing Corporal Max Klinger (Jamie Farr) to help him make life …

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 …

There are a couple of interesting points to Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 20 - Friends and Lovers that kept me viewing with anticipation.
First, there was another face off between Simon (Richard Dean Anderson) and Jack (Charles Frank) over Celia (Susan Dey). It’s such a twisted triangle that isn’t …

I watched this Friends Episode: The One Where Joey Speaks French countless times and it never fails to make me laugh so hard each time. Joey is so funny and he seeks the help of Phoebe to learn how to speak French, since he will be going for audition …

Imagine that you are a highly respected, handsome man with a wonderful life of the American Dream. You have it all. Family, friends, terrific job, and all that one works for in life. Imagine how much you are in love with your wife, and how much she loves you.
Now, …

Last night’s episode of Models of the Runway was OK but it is starting to get a bit on the predictable side again. With so few challenges left, I doubt they will force the designers to change models and I doubt the designers will do so by choice.
That one …

Junior Apprentice Episode 2 continued the process where Lord Alan Sugar would be selecting a junior apprentice. Now the pool is comprised of teenagers seeking a prize of 25,000 pounds that would be overseen by Lord Sugar to ensure the young entrepreneurs don’t waste the funds on some …

To Boldly Go … Season Two featurette includes some great comments about some of the classic episodes which aired during the second season of Star Trek. This includes the wonderful and most popular episode, The Trouble with Tribbles, which just about everyone calls the one and only comedy …

Grey’s Anatmony with Ellen Pompeo is a must watch show. I have to be in front of my television every Thursday night at exactly 8p.m. for Grey’s Anatomy. I must admit that I am addicted to watching the staff at Seattle Grace go through their drama in the operating …

I do not remember ever hearing of the animated series “The Batman” which is of course a modern day spin off of the comic book character, until I saw it being aired on local television recently. At first, I was hesitant to even give it a try since I …

Season four of The Andy Griffith Show continued with Hot Rod Otis on February 17, 1964. The basic premise of the half hour program has Andy and Barney worried when town drunk Otis Campbell (played beautifully by Hal Smith) buys a car.
First up, though, is some competition madness …

One of the new dramatic shows for the 2010 Fall TV season is called Undercovers:. It has a very big action beginning that is very spy like. That, of course, is appropriative since this hour long show is indeed about a couple of spies. This first …

Dancing with the Stars began its 10th season by introducing Brooke Burke as the new co-host, replacing Samantha Harris. Brooke was too low key. She’s hosted before so I was surprised she didn’t have more spark to her frequent bits on the show. Maybe it was …

It was a very spontaneous decision to watch the first episode of Masterchef that was on the Fox network last night. I dislike Gordon Ramsey greatly. He’s a loudmouth, obnoxious man, at least that’s how he presents himself to be on television. I just can’t stomach …

The TV Show Charmed is now on DVD. I have a tendency to do everything backwards. To learn thing backwards. And I actually started with Season 8 of Charmed. I had watched a few episodes off and on through-out the run of Charmed on the WB. But never …

Rather than go for another full season, Tennant and crew decided to wrap up his run with a series of specials. There was, of course, the Christmas special, which has become something of a Doctor Who tradition, but they followed it up with an Easter special. As …

Patrick McGoohan, who I always thought was British but is actually Australian, stars as Number Six in The Prisoner: A Change of Mind. He’s an ex-spy who, after resigning, was stolen away to a place called The Village, where he’s being held prisoner. He continues to try …

BIG TV is a DTH (Direct to Home) service from Reliance, a Anil Ambani group.
I have been using this service since three months and I must say I am very satisfied with it.
The setup comes for Rs.1490 which is the price of the settop box and with this you get …

Teach - Tony Danza: Solidarity is the fifth hour of this documentary. The premise has this performer known for Taxi and Who’s the Boss actually teaching English at Northeast High School in Philadelphia. It’s been a challenge for him, but I think he’s grown, and I continue …

I once again sat down to watch an episode of Futurama with my oldest daughter last night. And, since it was the next one on the DVD, we ended up watching the season 1 episode entitled “Mars University.”
This one was an OK episode but not an overly great one. …

The seventeenth episode in the series, “Blue Shadow Virus”, is another genius episode for the first season. This is a territory seldom explored in the ‘Star Wars’ universe, viral and biological weapons. In this episode, a mad Nazi-like scientist operates a secret Separatist bio-weapons underground laboratory on the planet …

HD, or High Definition is the latest evolution in the ongoing quest for more life-like reproduction of images and sound when viewing movies and television and is becoming the norm the world over.
DSTV has recently launched an HD channel, and released the HD PVR DECODER to go along …

The television show called Lockup appears on MSNBC and is a great show to watch. Weekly tapings in different prisons throughout the states are featured. Interviews with prisoners of how life is behind bars in maximum security prisons, as well as low threshhold prisons. It is …

I don’t usually watch The Bill Engvall Show, but I did decide to tune in to see the episode called The Way We Were. The reason was because one of my favorite NASCAR drivers was doing a guest spot where he was actually playing a character and not …

From November 1978, CHiPs: The Sheik is from the second season and stars, as always, Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox. The fun of this particular outing is guest star Kario Salem, who plays the title role. Actually, he’s the son of a very wealthy man, and he …

In this episode, Karl begins to act strangely and wants to leave the school. The others refer to it as the chill, but there is no other explanation. Karl is acting out, screaming and tearing things apart; not only does he want to leave the school, but he wants …

The twilight zone is a classic example of suspense and science fiction television. In my opinion the best episodes of the twilight zone were the ones that aired in the 1950s with Rod Serling as the narrator. An episode of the twilight zone that aired in the first season …

Warren Stevens guest stars as Nathan ‘Nate’ Bledsoe in The Twilight Zone: Dead Man’s Shoes. He plays a bum who finds a pair of shoes and puts them on, only once he does, he becomes the dead owner of the shoes. As long as he’s wearing the …
