Due South: Good for the Soul
A holiday show, Due South: Good for the Soul is pretty good. It has humor, drama, and poignancy. While shopping in the mall for Christmas presents, Constable Benton Fraser arrests a mob boss for slapping a bus boy in one of the mall restaurants. He really …
Tom&Jerry Episode: Missing Mouse
This episode starts off different with Tom having the upper hand on Jerry who runs into a wall and gets drenched in white shoe polish. Tom laughs and goes to listen to the radio when a news flash comes on about a white mouse escaping from a lab that …
Bones: The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond
Even though I still like the show Bones, I have felt it hasn’t been the same since Zach was arrested for murder last season. That’s why, in the episode The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond, I was glad to see him back in action; even if it was …
American Idol - elimination 3/26/09
American Idol began their 1 of 10 elimination with the usual recap, which was much funnier than usual because of the antics of Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell from the previous night’s competition. Abdul gave the Brit a pack of crayons while critiquing Scott MacIntyre and at the …
Rock Profile
Long before Little Britain came about, David Walliams and Matt Lucas were still playing around in strange costumes and silly wigs. Rather than a sketch show, Rock Profile is instead a spoof interview series with real life presenter Jamie Theakston posing as the interviewer to a host of world …
Full House Season 7
Full House season 7 signaled the beginning of the end, though it doesn’t appear as though any of the cast knew it at the time. As I watched the episodes, I couldn’t help but wonder if the producers were planning on making it the last season, and then changed …
MANswers
Have you ever asked yourself, how much testosterone and how little brain you can put into a show on national television? Well, MANswers shown on spike is where you get the answer.
In thirty minutes filled with breasts, weapons and sex you get to know everything a man wants to know …
MacGyver: The Odd Triple
Jack Dalton strikes again in The Odd Triple episode of the third season of MacGyver. Bruce McGill has this part down cold and plays him well, but he still drives me nuts and I don’t enjoy these episodes as much as I do the others. Jack continues …
CHiPs: Hustle
CHiPs: Hustle is a hoot of an episode when the legendary Broderick Crawford appeared as himself. It was a big deal at the time, too. For this freshman series, it’s a seal of approval in a way. Ponch is star struck, which is no surprise, while …
Home Improvement: Young at Heart
It’s good working half days for a week because I get to see some shows I might not get a chance to see when I’m working all day (too bad that starts next week). One of the shows, Home Improvement, is one I’ve missed a bit.
The episode that showed …
Stargate: Infinity: The Long Haul TV Show
I love the very first image we see in Stargate: Infinity: The Long Haul. It’s just a lovely mix of colors and is beautiful to look at. Too quickly, we’re drawn into the latest effort to escape their attackers. This half hour entry is the last …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Spongeguard on Duty
Spongebob is at the beach in Bikini Bottom one day and accidentally gets ice cream on his nose. Well, Larry who is the main lifeguard at the beach, sees this and assumes that Spongebob is really a lifeguard. Before he can even get a chance to explain to Larry …
Doctor Who: Season 3, episode 3: Gridlock
When I read the general synopsis of this episode, I didn’t think it would work out that well. The idea of a gigantic traffic jam isn’t a bad one, but it doesn’t exactly scream excitement. As it turns out, this episode managed to turn me around and …
Whoopi: Pilot TV Show
Back in 2003, Whoopi Goldberg starred in a TV show for the NBC network. It was, naturally, a situation comedy. Now I’m not all that fond of modern sitcoms because the humor is too provocative for my tastes. I wanted to watch this, though, because I …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Harvest
The second episode of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Series isn’t too bad but, like the first, is hindered a bit in terms of helping us learn the major plot points and characters at the expense of the overall plot.
While I actually liked this episode a bit more than …
That Girl: That Script
In That Girl: That Script from the fifth and final season of ABC’s delightful comedy series about an aspiring actress, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) has her heart set on buying the rights to a novel and having it turned into a movie that she would star in herself. …

Columbo: Try and Catch Me TV Show
Columbo: Try and Catch Me, from season six, has Peter Falk’s police lieutenant dealing with what is probably a sympathetic murderer to the viewers, and jury that will certainly be in the future.
This is one of the more entertaining murder set ups of the entire series. The game …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.12: The Gungan General
“The Gungan General” is another gem in this season. It continues the plot from “Dooku Captured” where the Count has been taken away and imprisoned by space pirates while Anakin and Obi-Wan are trapped within a cave (thanks to the Count).
The pirates continue their belittling of Count Dooku …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Two - Squid on Strike

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: No Place Like Home
Have we forgotten about Willow lately? It seems that she doesn’t have too much of a role in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes lately. She’s there, just not very prominent.
Take the episode No Place Like Home. Buffy is starting to feel like something weird is going on at …
M*A*S*H: Lt. Radar O’Reilly
Master Sergeant Woodruff, played by Sandy Kenyon, stiffs Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) in a poker game. Since he’d stiffed B.J. Huneycutt (Mike Farrell) in the prior game, the captains tell Woodruff he can’t play with them anymore. To get back into their good graces, he offers to …
Dora the Explorer: Rapido Tico
I ended up coming home yesterday to my daughter watching Dora the Explorer on TV (thank you Direct TV for all those kids’ channels). As I sat down relaxing, I ended up watching one episode with her “Rapido Tico.”
This episode was basically dedicated to their friend Tico the squirrel, …
Deadliest Catch
I have been watching “Deadliest Catch” on The Discovery Channel for several years now, and still enjoy every new season. With the recent death of the Cornelia Marie’s captain, Phil Harris, I find myself saddened that he won’t be around in future seasons of the show. I …
The Simpsons TV Episode: The Frying Game
I finally got a chance to watch the entire Simpsons Episode The Frying Game. And, I have to say it was funny in the beginning but pretty lame by the end.
The first part of this episode was pretty cute. Homer builds Marge a pond in the back yard to …
Judge Judy
While there are so many court room drama shows on tv in the daytime such as peoples court, Judge Alex, Judge Maria Lopez, Judge Joe Brown, Divorce court and Judge Christina, I truly believe the best one is Judge judy. The show is featured Judge Judy Sheinlein who …

Stargate SG-1: Prometheus
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus is one of the wildcards I’ve mentioned. I kind of like this one, even with the annoying constant smiling of Jonas Quinn.
Earth’s brand new spaceship, the Prometheus, is about ready for its trial run. That’s when four hijackers make their move, successfully gaining control …
Smallville Season 7 episode 10
This episode with the introduction of DC comics villain Bizarro was well - bizarre. We start of with Bizarro living in Clark’s place, being with Lana and living his life while Clark is trapped at the fortress of solitude. Once Jor El releases him he tries to …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Creature Below! TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Creature Below! was the 16th show to air during the 1965-1966 TV season, which was the second year of this sci fi series about the nuclear submarine, Seaview. The Seaview should have billing: it’s a vital part of what makes …
Highway Patrol: The Search TV Show
The first story of the second season of Highway Patrol was called The Search and aired in October 1956. It’s a pretty basic story, I’m afraid. It’s all about a murderer who is trying to avoid capture. He’s a charming sort and manages to get people …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Earthmen TV Show
It’s another story about Mars, a planet that science fiction author Ray Bradbury loves to write about. This is the second story within just a few weeks that has a Martian theme and there’s another one within a few weeks forward. From January 1992, the show and …
Late Show with David Letterman
David letterman is a very funny late night show that I have been watching since I was a small child. The Late show with David letterman is much like all other late night shows.
The show starts off with a stand up routine by letterman that usually discusses topics that …

Death Note Episode 25 (Anime)

Hunter x Hunter (tv series)
I tend to like watching certain genres of Japanese animation especially if I feel that they have a very interesting plot and characters, but for some reason I find many of those hard to encounter these days, especially when it comes to new anime. Therefore, what I did was …
Dancing with the Stars - 3/22/10 TV Show
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 …
Food Network in HD
If you recently bought a high definition TV then you should definately get all HD channels that are available on Dishnetwork or on cable. And the one channel that you must make sure you get is the Food Network channel in HD. I can garantee that it will make …

M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky
B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) becomes one of the masses instead of a lone devoted soul when he cheats on his wife in M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky from season five. While the resolution is okay, I always thought it was a shame that they had this story. It’s just …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: No Man’s Land
Starring Bruce Campbell in the title role, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: No Man’s Land is a bit unique in that it takes place mostly in a town called No Man’s Land, and it’s called that because all of the inhabitants are women. There’s Denise Crosby as …
Stargate SG-1: Moebius Part 2
The era ends here for Stargate SG-1. It’s the end of the season, the end of a dreaded story arc, and it’s the final appearance of Richard Dean Anderson as a regular. It’s also the end of this reality, which I’ll explain at the end.
Stargate SG-1: Moebius …
Two and a half men the show
