Beast Wars - Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1 picks up almost right where the previous episode left off. In this episode, two stasis pods, both of which were damaged in the crash, produce two new Transformers that are quite unlike any of the previous Transformers to emerge from …

Wow, prayers actually do get answered, or rather, episodes tend to usually get increasingly more and more interesting as the season finale approaches. With only six episodes left (including this one), it’s almost as if Season 2 has been holding out on us, saving all the good stuff for …

MTV’s Next is a reality dating show. One person gets the opportunity to date five individuals, these 5 people are all on the Next Bus and they go out to meet that main ‘one’…based on the initial greeting, they either get ‘Next’ right on the spot or they get …

We’ve been watching a lot of Christmas specials on TV the past couple of days and came across one I hadn’t seen before; even though it has been out for some time.
At first, I thought A Jetson’s Christmas Carol would end up being a predictable and boring story. I …

Crime shows and forensic shows really appeal to me because they showcase the realistic aspect of human nature. But the shows that really amp up the action are the “Most Shocking” programs that feature different aspects of shocking things that happen amongst ordinary citizens. Sometimes …

Highway Patrol aired for four seasons back in the early days of television. It’s a rather iconic series for those who love police shows. This episode was the 29th one to air in 1959 and is called Killer on the Run.
The plot follows a man named Les …

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 …

It was only recently when we lost our cable and had to revert back to local TV, when I became acquainted with the “Ity and Fancycat Show.” This is actually a comedy sketch show hosted by two local comedians, where they make fun of some of Jamaica’s current events. …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Naked Now is just bad. Just plain bad. The first episode to air after the series premier is a comedy show that has very few actually humorous parts and is riddled with nonsensical lines of dialogue tied in with awkward performances. Boy …

Well, we started watching the second season of the show Ghost Hunters on DVD this past weekend and, so far, it doesn’t look a whole lot better than the first season, which was a disappointment considering I am a big fan of the series.
The first episode, however, isn’t too …

Although the publicity …

The hit CBS television show 48 Hours has a new spin, and I’ll say up front that I like it. One of the things I’ve disliked about old episodes of 48 Hours is the drama brought about by the story teller, or reporter. It was like propaganda, …

Code Geass Episode 9 focuses on Kallen and her daily life as a student; we also learn about her mother and learn that she has a tragic home life, along with her double life at school.
I did think that this episode was very interesting and it gave Kallen more …

It is Sunday today, and as expected there are few tv shows that I am looking forward to watch. More often, I feel there is even nothing worth watching at all. My mom was browsing through the channels and well, she chanced upon the show in Channel 7, Kap’s …

“A Jock Strap In Hell” is the fifth episode of season six of the CBS sit-com Two And A Half Men. This episode was great for the first 15 minutes but went downhill during the rest of the episode. The ending was just weird.
The show opens with …

Community is a show that shows every Thursday on NBC. It is also one of the funniest shows on TV and my favourite show on television right now, I have never cared about watching reruns of shows as much as I love watching reruns of Community. It is in …

It’s a Woman of the Week for The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. That’s an unusual occurrence as there really weren’t that many women celebrated in these roasts that took place over the years. The lucky female was none other than Hungarian Zsa Zsa Gabor. Naturally, the …

As Seasons of the Simpsons go, Season 22 has been not even hit and miss episodes. They have just been disappointing episodes with very few humor points involved in them. And this episode was no different than the others. It was …

Highway Patrol continued its third season on the air with an episode, the 26th of the year, called Careless Cop. The name is derived by the action which happened at the beginning of the show, when a patrolmen pulled over a car for speeding and ultimately failed to …

Stargate SG-1: Birthright is an intriguing episode from season seven. It’s the introduction of a female Jaffa named Ishta, wonderfully portrayed by Jolene Blalock. She’s the best pairing with Teal’c since the actresses who played his wife on the series.
Blalock and the other women who are part …

The third season of The Twilight Zone is a two-person show. For some reason, Rod Serling liked these introspective shows for the season premiers, and I’m not sure why. Season one focused on Earl Holliman’s character being in a town by himself, and season two had Robert …

Just as the previous episode introduces us to Ray’s aunt, this one introduces us to Egon’s Uncle Cyrus. At first glance, it seems like it would be a rehash, but the two stand in stark contrast to one another. Where Ray’s aunt was deep into the idea …

Normally, I like pretty much everything my daughter is exposed to on Nick. However, their addition of the show Back at the Barnyard is an insult to parents everywhere.
There is nothing worthwhile about that show. The jokes are 100 times cruder than some “adult” cartoons on television and I …

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 …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Farmer Takes a Wife presents Andy and Barney with the task of helping ‘Big’ Jeff Pruitt find himself a bride, something he is anxious to do. Naturally, Jeff is pretty outlandish and finding a woman to be his wife isn’t going to be …

This is what a satirical news program should be. While the Daily Show is quickly losing its edge, the Colbert Report is on fire. A more direct parody of the O’Reilly Factor in particular and Fox News Channel in general (this is obvious the second the opening …

One day while Spongebob was taking out the trash he noticed that there was quite a bit of graffitti on the garbage dumpster. He couldn’t believe that some people would do such a thing to the Krusty Krab’s property. He starts to read some of the things that are …

I’ve been watching Criminal Minds from the beginning, but I find that I am agreeing more and more with Mandy Patinkin who starred in this series originally and then left the show because it was too dark and upsetting. Sometimes I only half watch the shows which are …

Matt Nix, creator of the USA Networks series Burn Notice, has hit on a winning formula with his newest show “The Good Guys” on Fox. The series had a preview episode a week before the series premier and so far this show has been absolutely stunning.
The basic premise follows …

I eagerly awaited the screening of the CW’s The Beautiful Life. It had Mischa Barton who I hadn’t seen since her days on the OC and mainly unknowns. The premise is that a kid from a small town comes on holiday to the big city, he gets …

After watching the premier of the tenth season of Australia’s Dancing with the Stars last week, I decided to tune in again. I really enjoyed what I saw, especially with the music and outfits, so wanted to check it out again.
Here are my observations, good and bad, and …

Jeremiah: Thieves’ Honor brings back Kim Hawthorne as Theo. Theo was an integral part of the movie that began the series. She’s a sassy, in your face leader of a community. She’s full of fight, and she doesn’t take prisoners. Hawthorne nailed this part in …

Have Gun - Will Travel: First, Catch a Tiger was the first show of the season for year number three. I love how it starts, with Paladin playing chess against himself. He tells Hey Boy that he doesn’t like doing that because “I always know what I’m …

“A Bundle for Britain” is an episode of “The Beverly Hillbillies” that kicks off a five episode story arc and has the Clampetts return to their castle in Kent, England. Mr. Drysdale puts on a show in front of the Clampetts, having them believe that watching over Jed’s eighty-million …

From its sixth season, Have Gun - Will Travel presented Cage at McNaab. It’s a surprising set up that at first had me suspicious because the events were odd but which also made for a very different show. After five seasons, it’s hard to be unique, so …

There are several little stories that make up M*A*S*H: U.N., the Night and the Music from the final season of this awesome television series. A group from the United Nations is coming to observe the 4077th and see how things are done.
The best story involves Major Margaret Houlihan …

The series premier of Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn aired in September 2010. I’m not really into cooking shows unless they are of the reality type in terms of competitions, but I will admit that I liked Lucinda’s energy at the beginning of this show.
The show went …

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Fountain of Youth gives John Bly haters a chance to smile. Or does it? That’s a question that we’ll have to wait and see, but the fun part is watching Bly be foiled, right when he thinks he’s about to get …

In episode 5 of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, entitled Down and Out in New York City, there is major drama as usual.
Kim and her pal with benefits Shango , her former bodyguard from the land down under, Australia, over hear Kourtney and Scott engaging in PG …

The Twilight Zone: Spur of the Moment from this show’s fifth and final season is okay, but not a big favorite. I actually tend to watch it more because one of the guest stars for the half hour is Roger Davis, and I tend to enjoy his work …

This two parter introduced us to many new characters at SG1 while losing Richard Dean Anderson as General O’Neill. Even though he made a cameo during these episodes, it was not the same as having him around full time.
Viewers got to meet Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell played by …

One of the interesting things about the old Mork & Mindy series is how it managed to look at normal everyday life and turn it into satire. The episode “Mork’s Greatest Hit” is a great example of this.
In our culture, we admire those who will use violence if it …

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 …

Every kid in America had to feel for Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) in this episode of The Andy Griffith Show. It’s their hope and their nightmare both. The show, Opie’s Ill-Gotten Gain, from November 1963 begins innocently enough with Opie attempting to do his math homework, only …

Season one of MacGyver continues with an episode called The Heist. Interestingly, like the pilot, it was directed by the infamous Alan Smithee. In Hollywood, Smithee is a fictional name applied to a project when the actual director doesn’t want his name attached to the project in …

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 …
