Trinity Blood episode 7
Okay first things first, this is an obvious rip off of peter pan. On episode seven of Trinity Blood, we are taken to the magical land of “Never Land”. You guessed it, “Never Land” is the title of this miraculous episode. Basically, Father Abel Nightroad and Father Leon Gracia …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 8: When Halloween was Forever
This episode features my all time favorite “Real Ghostbusters” adversary, Samhain, the spirit of Halloween. As such, it should come as no surprise to find that this is one of my favorite episodes overall.
Once again, Straczynski shows that he knows how to craft an amazing episode of …
TV Guide Network
There is one thing that annoys me about the TV Guide network. When I want the channels to scroll faster, I realize just how slow it is. When I am actually trying to read what a program is about, it seems it flies up the …

Fruits Basket Anime Series, 2011
Fruits Basket, released in 2011, is an absolutely adorable anime. Most anime are not appropriate for children because of adult themes. There isn’t any excessive cleavage or firearms incorporated into this anime series. I have to warn parents, however, that the heroine’s skirt does ride a bit low, there …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The Fate of Equinox
This was an interesting episode that wrapped up the Equinox subplot. It ties into Dr. Fate so, as one would expect, this is a pretty metaphysical episode, dealing with the lords of order and chaos as well as remaking the universe.
For only twenty minutes, this was …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Gold Fever TV show
In Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Gold Fever, the youngest McFadden brother, Guthrie, gets some time to show his stuff, and it’s good stuff. Young Guthrie is played by River Phoenix, who died way too young of tragic circumstances. Here, though, in 1982, we see the promise …
Judge Judy
We all have guilty pleasures and I guess mine is watching the various judge shows. One of my favorite shows of this genre is “Judge Judy.” The presiding jurist is Judith Sheindlin, who makes decisions about small claims cases. This is a tough, unsentimental lady who …
Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town
The story of how Santa became the jolly figure we know today is told in the classic animated tale, Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town. This is another of my all-time holiday favorites. I watch it at least twice every season, if not more. The story …
The Maury Show
I watch the Maury show occasionally from time to time when I am home and there is nothing on television. It is filled with drama and almost every episode is about a DNA test. The women usually brings the potential father of the baby on the show most of …
M*A*S*H: Patent 4077
On the surface, M*A*S*H: Patent 4077 doesn’t really seem like that much of a show, and yet it really has some strong moments in it that make you stop and go ‘wow’. It’s like the little episode that could.
The pop to this show concerns Margaret Houlihan’s wedding ring. …
CSI Season 6 Episode 20- Poppin’ Tags
This was another excellent episode of the show. Although it was a bit strange and not quite believable, it still was a lot of fun. The thing about it, is that there was much sadness and human tragedy involved, but it wasn’t much the focus of this episode all …

Eureka! opening credits Show
The opening sequence for Eureka!, the new series on SciFi, unfortunately fails to do what opening credit sequences are designed to do.
The sequence consists of three parts: first, the credits themselves, which tell you the name of the show and the name of the primary cast members. Second, …

Gilligan’s Island - Topsy-Turvy TV Show
I really liked this episode since we have actual headhunters on the island this time which is rare on this show. Again the Castaways are fighting for survival, and they actually prepare calmly and with some sort of order this time. But again Gilligan messes up, but his goof …
Columbo: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Season DVD set is comprised of three DVDs, just like earlier seasons. Consumers need to remember that Columbo was part of the Mystery Movie lineup and tended to air just once a month during a season. As time passed, even that …
The Twilight Zone: Perchance to Dream TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Perchance to Dream has never been a favorite episode. It’s from the first season and it has a solid cast, but the story fails to connect with my soul It’s all about a man who walks into a psychiatrist’s office and then tells him that …
Watch What Happens: Live
Watch What Happens: Live is new to the Bravo Channel in 2009 and personally, I think it needs to go away and be a memory. I just wasn’t impressed at all by what I saw. The only reason I tuned in was to see who the Top …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: A Time to Die TV Show
From December 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: A Time to Die is the 11the show of its fourth and final season on the air. Irwin Allen did a great job with this series, and while it wasn’t always great, it most often entertained viewers. …

The Simpsons: I (annoyed grunt) bot.
Last night wasn’t the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “I (annoyed grunt) bot.” But, it was the first time in a while and I realized I didn’t remember anything about it.
This episode was actually very funny because it had two great storylines.
First, you have Lisa’s cat, Snow …
M*A*S*H: The Late Captain Pierce
M*A*S*H: The Late Captain Pierce is a very funny season four episode of this great series. As the title would indicate, a paperwork error has Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) listed as dead. Even his father has been notified.
Of note here as well is that this episode is …

Remington Steele: Steele Belted TV Show
From season one in November 1982, Remington Steele: Steele Belted was fairly interesting. It began with Steele’s condo being ransacked, though Laura Holt doesn’t seem to care. It’s not until he ends up in the middle of things himself, that Holt lets Steele in on the current …

The episode opens with Batman on Oa. He and Kilowog have brought in a new prisoner. Guy looks to see that it’s a cute little alien. He, in typical Guy fashion, goads the little creature before pouring some water on him. As it turns out, this …
Ghost Hunters: American Legion
Last night’s Ghost Hunters episode was OK but not one of the greatest ones. They investigated an American Legion building in Pennsylvania (a short distance from where my wife was born).
It was one of those cases that could go either way. A lot of personal experiences that weren’t captured …
Hits 1 TV Show
Hits 1 TV Show is something like the local TV show, ‘Vidz’, which is non-existent no more. Hits 1 TV show program is still around and the host is one guy which I don’t know the name and the lady host is Amy Search’s daughter, Nabila. I think …
Shaq’s Big Challenge
Shaq’s Big Challenge is the best inspiration I have ever seen for kids. Overweight and extremely introverted, I wish Shaq witnessed the growing rate of obesity when I was in school. Maybe I wouldn’t have had to spend my time finding the right clothes to cover up …
Jenny Craig/ Kierstie Alley Commercials (tv)
So, she’s done it. Alley’s finally shed those excess pounds, and attributes her new body and overall look to Jenny Craig, huh? The new Jenny commercials, which use Alley to be their spokes person really drive me nuts. Not only do I personally, find them rather …
Sudden Link Cable Service
If you are looking for a good cable service and this is the only one available in your area then you will have to let go of the dream of reliable service. If you have the option of going with another provider for your cable company then I suggest that …
Lost (tv show)
I was trying to avoid watching Lost for the longest time, to avoid getting sucked into yet another television program that everyone in the world is watching and talking about. Circumstances, however, lead me to view the program once, and now, yes, I am hooked. Not only …
Alias Smith and Jones: Never Trust an Honest Man
Alias Smith and Jones: Never Trust an Honest Man is not one of my big favorites, though I am happy that our two adorable ex-outlaws, Hannibal Heyes (Pete Duel) and Kid Curry (Ben Murphy), are together again, as it should be. The main thrust is that while traveling …
That 70s Show: It’s a Wonderful Life
What better way to get in the holiday spirit than a classic episode of That 70s Show; “It’s a Wonderful Life?”
Ok, so this isn’t really a holiday episode; it just follows a similar tale to the classic movie. Eric, depressed over his break up with Donna, wishes he had …
Gilligan’s Island - Erika Tiffany Smith to the Rescue
Erika Tiffany Smith to the Rescue is my least favorite Gilligan’s Island episode out of all of them. There was very little attention grabbing scenes and the show ran more like a bad soap opera. Zsa Zsa Gabor guest stars in this show as Erika Tiffany Smith. Zsa Zsa …
The X-Files Duane Barry Episode
This was the twenty ninth episode of the entire popular 1990s American television show “The X-Files”. It was also the fifth episode of the second season in the series. I think I would put this episode in my top thirty episodes of the entire series since I thought …
The Virginian: Dead-Eye Dick TV Show
Dead-Eye Dick was a fairly entertaining fifth season episode of The Virginan, and I honestly believe that one of the reasons I liked it as much as I did was that it didn’t really involve any of the new owners, the Graingers. Charles Bickford had just one scene, …
Night Gallery: Spectre in Tap-Shoes TV Show
From October 1972, the third season of Night Gallery, Sandra Dee starred in an episode entitled Spectre in Tap-Shoes. Dee actually plays a duel role, playing a pair of sisters, one of whom hung herself. That was Marion, the tap dancing sister.
When the other sister, Millicent, returns …
Venture Bros: Pinstripes and Poltergeists
This episode brings 24 back, still in ghost form and guiding 21. 21’s really become a competent character. For most of the season, the joke was that he thought he had, as the trope says, taken a level in badass, but it turns out it’s starting to …
Soul Train television show (1970s version)
One of my parents’ favourite television shows in the seventies, was a show called “Soul Train”. I heard them talking about the show from time to time over the years, but never actually got a chance to view it for myself until one Saturday years ago, when a certain …
Prep and Landing
One of the newer animated tales that airs on the networks during Christmastime is called Prep and Landing and features the voice of Dave Foley. I’m not a big fan of Foley’s per se, but I was bored so decided to see what this fairly new show was …
