Full House Season 4
Full House Season 4 is almost when the show tried to “jump the shark”. Granted it was a transitional time for the show as the kids were starting to grow, but things were still a little odd.
Little Michelle was now a toddler, and fully capable of talking. The …
Wolverine and the X-Men

Numb3rs: And the Winner Is…
Numb3rs: And the Winner Is… aired on February 5, 2010, and it was probably the most enjoyable episode of the season for me. I’ve really missed not having Peter MacNicol on the show. ABC has taken some cost cutting measures for this series, including reducing the number …
Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood - Snoop’s Got Heart
I’m a weekly viewer of Snoop Dogg’s E television show, Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood..and in this episode, Snoop’s Got Heart, it primarily features Snoop coaching his little league football team ,and motivating them to strive to be the best at whatever they do, and to always make sure their heart …

Tony Robinson and the Blitz Witch
Tony Robinson and the Blitz Witch is a Channel 4 documentary hosted by Tony Robinson (also known as Baldrick from Blackadder) and which tells the story of the famous war time medium called Helen Duncan. This is an interesting story as this unassuming middle-aged Scottish lady who would …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 19 - The Best Laid Plans
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 19 - The Best Laid Plans carries on after the intensity of the previous episode when Leslie Mallory’s Russian amour, Alexi, was killed.
On the good side of things, there’s finally some action between Tom Mallory, the rear admiral played by Dennis Weaver, and the widow, …
CSI
I love all 3 CSI’s. The Las Vegas one is my very favorite though. I always try and figure out who did it and why they did it. I look forward to Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. If I am going to miss an episode, I make sure I …
The Office: Frame Toby
“Frame Toby” is the Office episode originally airing on November 20, 2008. This was an unusually weak episode, with few laugh-out-loud moments and central characters acting in very odd ways.
My biggest complaint was the way Michael acted throughout the episode. We all understand that he hates Toby, …
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 …
Who’s Your Pappa - Real Housewives of Atlanta
Now I’m a huge fan of Bravo’s Real Housewives series…especially their Real Housewives of Atlanta series, mostly for the reason that it showcases that Afican Americans like other ethnic groups can enjoy the finer things in life. The episode Who’s Your Pappa with Ne Ne trying to find …
Trapped - CBBC Childrens T.V Show
I had been introduced to the game Trapped when Jake found it on the CBBC Games website . It was great when he was channel hopping and found the t.v show on CBBC. I presume that it was the t.v show that came first, then converted into the computer …
I Love Money
I thought the American reality television series “I Love Money” was one of VH1’s best reality television series. This was because it involved different people from previous reality television series on VH1 all competing for a quarter of a million United States dollars. All these people had to do …
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 …
Daytime TV: The Young and Restless
When I was younger, I watched four soap opera’s while I was a stay at home mom. The Young and the Restless was part of that line up although I must say that I only watched half of the show. If I watched the entire thing, I would miss …
Saturday Night Live Still Lives Large
This past Saturday, I could not get to sleep for the life of me. Tired and frustrated, I opted to turn on the television and see what was acutally on at that time of the night. To my pleasant surprise, Saturday Night Live was on. I …
Happy Town on ABC
I am a total TV addict, so I was excited when I saw the previews for a new mystery/drama on ABC, ironically called “Happy Town.” The previews touted the show to be about a small Midwestern town with a deep, dark secret. I figured this kind of show would …
The Virginian: Nobility of Kings TV Show
The Virginian: Nobility of Kings wasn’t much of a favorite for me. It featured Charles Bronson as Ben Justin, a new rancher to the Medicine Bow area. He had a huge chip on his shoulder do and was one of those “I’ll do it myself” types, even …
Mythbusters: President’s Challenge
Being a huge fan of the Mythbusters, this week’s newest epsiode had to do with the president asking Adam and Jamie to recreate the Ancient Death Ray that they had busted in an eariler season. When I first heard that the …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Rumor TV Show
It really is hard to be all that excited by the April 1964 The Andy Griffith Show: The Rumor because we’ve been there and done that. There are countless episodes where Barney overreacts to seeing Barney with a girlfriend and then jumps to the conclusion that they are …
Monster Episode 11 (Anime)

Heroes - TV Series
Heroes is a great TV series, and is especially unique because of its excellent plot, with all of its surprises and twists which always seem to surprise and satisfy you, and leave you hanging and waiting for the next episode.

Big Brother 9
I am here today to tell you about the greatest reality show on the air right now. That’s right, you guessed it - Big Brother 9.
Big Brother is currently in it’s 9th season and fans of the previous seasons will definitely not be disappointed with the latest installment of …
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 …
Law & Order CI: Major Case
I was watching Law & Order Criminal Intent last night and have to say, even though I’m still not a huge fan of the Jeff Goldblum addition to the cast, I did like the episode “Major Case.”
The pairing of Nichols and Eames was definitely interesting though I think Goren …
That 70s Show: Battle of the Sexists
Should girls be able to beat boys at sports? That was the central theme of the That 70s Show episode “Battle of the Sexists,” and I have to admit, it really made an interesting point about the way we view opposite genders.
The episode is based on the fact Donna can …
Fireball XL5: Drama at Space City
I definitely have a few thoughts related to Fireball XL5: Drama at Space City. This episode has Steve and Venus going off on vacation, leaving Zoonie to stay with Jonathan Zero, the son of Commander Zero. Meanwhile, Professor Matt Matic takes the relaxation pills that Venus prescribed …
Stargate SG-1: Death Knell
Stargate SG-1: Death Knell is not a favorite. I don’t like it for a number of reasons. The show starts off with Sam and Jacob at the Alpha Site being sort of snippy with each other. Jacob claims they don’t talk anymore. This little tidbit …
Red Dwarf: Balance of Power
In the third episode of Red Dwarf, we discover that, as always, David Lister (Craig Charles) and his bunkmate, hologram Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie) are still drifting through space in the Red Dwarf mining ship. They also have a problem: They are still fighting like cats and dogs. Though …
Adam 12 - Log 81
The running theme to this episode of Adam-12 is officer presence and what exactly that means. It begins with the shift briefing and a discussion of officer safety. As Reed and Malloy talk about while on patrol, Malloy explains to his rookie partner that “It’s how you …
The Prisoner: Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling
Now this is an intriguing show. The Prisoner: Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling gives star Patrick McGoohan a bit of a rest. Most of the show, his mind is in another man’s body, so all we hear are his thoughts. That’s a nice way …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 19 (Animated)
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 19 begins with Admiral Zhao launching his attack on the Water Tribe while Aang tries to contact the spirits to help the Water Tribe but Zuko has stowed away on one of the ships and is trying to find Aang. The Water Tribe …
House M.D. show

Have Gun - Will Travel: Homecoming
Have Gun - Will Travel: Homecoming was a little different in some ways. As always, Richard Boone stars as the gunfighter named Paladin in this half-hour western series. Paladin hires out his gun, usually for a some of money that is quite large for the day. …
Scrubs: Our Stuff Gets Real
This episode is almost a cast reunion. JD and Elliot are featured and there are cameos by both Jordan and the Todd.
Aside from Elliot’s general unlikable personality, the episode is solid. Both the veterans and the newbies bring in a fair share of humor. It was …
Stargate SG1: Ascension Season 5, Episode 3
SG1 is on a planet - Daniel is trying to translate a large wall while Sam is looking at something that Jack thinks might be a weapon. When Jack and Teal’c leave to study the rest of the deserted planet, Daniel goes inside to ask Sam for something. …
House TV Episode: Guardian Angel
There wasn’t much on TV tonight so I ended up watching a re-run of the show House that I might have seen before but really don’t remember; Guardian Angel.
This is one of those episodes where he has lost his original team and is still trying to pick a new …
The Veil: Food on the Table TV Show
The Veil was a short lived anthology series from 1958. I haven’t seen any of them before now, and I find it to be an intriguing broadcast. Boris Karloff hosts the show, and it begins with him doing his introduction in front of a huge fireplace, like …
Due South: The Gift of the Wheelman

CHiPs: Crack-Up
In CHiPs: Crack-Up, Jon is injured chasing a couple of drag racers. We get some good time angst for a few minutes while we wait to find out the results, like we didn’t know he’d pull through. I love this kind of stuff, though. All that …
Wagon Train: The Robert Harrison Clarke Story
Another of my favorite ninety minute, color episodes of Wagon Train is The Robert Harrison Clarke Story. It guest stars Michael Rennie, who was a terrific actor. He plays Clarke, an Englishmen who is traveling through the west to basically disprove the many things he’s read in …
Criminal Minds: Remembrance of Things Past TV Show
Criminal Minds: Remembrance of Things Past began with what I thought was just a ridiculous, poorly shot scene. Days of Our Lives’ Mary Beth Evans portrayed Candice DeLilly with Michael Spound of Hotel fame as her husband, Sam DeLilly. I actually enjoyed seeing them. I can’t …
CSI New York Season 4 Episode 12- Happily Never After
I thought this episode was really smart. I didn’t like all of it, but the scientific parts of it were really interesting. The second case was really good.
In the first case Fiona Chislom, a hotel-owner, hater by everyone to the extend that when her body is found, the people …
Date My Mom TV Show
Your mother is a very good representation of who you are. That’s the premise behind the MTV Show “Date My Mom”. On the show a boy will go out with three different girls mothers, then pick one of their daughters to date. On the date he can talk to …
The Simpson’s: The Way We Weren’t
I finally got a chance to watch the entire Simpson’s episode “The Way We Weren’t.” I have seen bits and pieces of it in the past but none of it made a whole lot of sense until last night.
Overall, it wasn’t too bad of an episode.
Basically, Homer and Marge …
Two and a Half Men Season 7 Episode 15
Every time I watch two and a Half Men I remember the times this show actually used to make me laugh - it’s been a long time and this episode was no different.
This episode was about Charlie and Chelsea’s relationship. Charlie thinks she is cheating on him which she …
Gilligan’s Island TV Episode: Forward March
As I have mentioned before, I’m a big fan of watching Gilligan’s Island re-runs on weekends. But, even though I do enjoy most of the episodes (I’ve seen every one several times), there are some that just aren’t as good as others. One of these is the episode “Forward …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Stagecoach
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Stagecoach would have been better with a little different mix of stagecoach passengers. Basically, Brisco is taking a prisoner to Mexico on a stagecoach on which there is a killer. The viewers learn this first, thanks to a scene with Socrates …
