Full Metal Alchemist is a anime series that is one of the best shows I have seen. Don’t judge the series by its title, because when I first heard of it, I was wondering if it was good because of the title.
I have come to the conclusion that it …

Chasing Mummies: The Amazing Adventures of Zahi Hawass - Episode 1 gave viewers the introduction on what this documentary is all about. Zahi is undertaking a 20 year project to restore the Step Pyramid in Saqqara, Egypt. He’s allowed part of this to be turned into this …

Sometimes I really have to wonder about the dog, Brian, on the show Family Guy. Some episodes he reminds me of a sophisticated, well-educated person I know. Other days he reminds me of our family cat; who seems jealous of me when it comes to my wife (we affectionately …

MacGyver returns to his old college to help judge the barricade contest, which is a physics competition. It’s called the Fizzics Follies, and there are four finalists, including the son of the professor. Unfortunately, the father and son don’t see eye to eye, and the son is under …

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 …

One of the fun things about the Baby Food episode of CHiPs is that we can extrapolate what the show might have been had Erik Estrada won the role of Frak Poncherello. This is because Joe Nicassio guest stars as a young man, sort of hippie-ish, who is …

I try to keep an open mind when it comes to the paranormal. I don’t necessarily believe in ghosts but I’m more than willing to allow people to try to prove their existence to me.
That being said, even though I’ve watched several episodes of Ghost Hunters and have seen …

This episode of Only Fools & Horses is entitled ‘The Unlucky Winner Is…’ and it was episode four of the sixth season. This is an absolute classic episode of OF&H and one that everyone remembers because it is so funny. Del enters one of Rodney’s paintings, of …

Today was the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “Trilogy of Error” in its entirety. And, I have to admit it is one of the better episodes in the series.
I like this episode because it is essentially several stories in one; and they manage to overlap each other …

Having been the Man of the Hour back in the mid-seventies, Michael Landon became the Man of the Year in this edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. This was the final season of roasts, and only a few celebrities received the ‘of the Year’ honor. In …

Philip Ahn guest stars as Mr. Kim, the tailor, in M*A*S*H: Change Day. Ahn has been in other episodes of this comedy, including the one in which Alan Alda virtually did a one-man show when Hawkeye Pierce was injured and had to keep talking in case he had …

The woman is on fire in the show business industry. I’m writing about Betty White, who is the primary guest star in this December 1994 show, Diagnosis Murder: Death by Extermination. In this show, White plays Dora Sloan, the sister of Dr. Mark Sloan, played wonderfully by …

Laramie: The Long Road Back isn’t really one of my favorite episodes, but that’s mostly because it’s an hour that focuses on John Smith’s character of Slim Sherman. I so much prefer the buddy shows in which Smith shares the western hour with Robert Fuller and his much …

Ancient Mysteries is a series on A&E. Narrated by Leonard Nimoy, it features a different subject every television show. Ancient Mysteries: Human Sacrifice aired in 2006. The show discussed human sacrifice in many different ancient cultures. It spoke about biblical tradition, such as the passage …

Another superb episode from season one of Stargate SG-1 is Fire and Water. Would they really kill off Daniel Jackson? Of course not, but in the first twenty minutes or so, that is what the audience is led to believe.
One of the most memorable scenes is the …

I recently rented a DVD of episodes from the show Clifford the Big Red Dog for my daughter. And, even though I wasn’t watching it with her very closely, some of the episodes managed to stick out in my head. One of those was “Mac’s Secret Dog Club.”
I liked …

In The Virginian: The Man from the Sea, Shirley Knight and Carol Lynley play twin sisters, Susan and Judith Morrow, respectively, who are visiting with Judge Henry Garth. Knight and Lynley aren’t related, but they way they were made up, they really did look like twins. Bravo …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Road to Wickenberg, from season two of the western, has drama, romance, and a few chuckles along the way. There’s also a really good supporting group of guest stars in this episode, and they all play relatives. Harry Carey Jr. …

“The OCU Or The PADO” is the episode of Two And A Half Men originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. This was another mediocre episode that marks the downhill slide of this once consistently funny program.
Pros: There were a few funny lines. Alan’s question to …

This episode was a fluff piece. The plot was wafer thin and there wasn’t much in the way of characterization. I didn’t have high hopes for the episode, mostly because they brought in the Wonder twins.
You know, speaking of that, I’m getting kind of tired …

I don’t get a lot of time to watch television so I usually don’t get a chance to check out new shows until they’ve been on the air a while.
Last night happened to be one of those nights and I came across the CBS show Rules of Engagement.
While I …

For the second year in a row, The Learning Channel presented a reality show entitled, Miss America: Countdown to the Crown. The purpose for this reality show, which includes all of the Miss America contestants, is to bring the pageant up to modern day standards and away from …

Well, that was a somewhat interesting episode of That 70s Show last night, “Killer Queen.”
Valentine’s Day is a few weeks away yet but they decided to air a Valentine’s Day episode that proved to be quite funny.
My favorite part of this episode was involving Red and Kitty and the …

Patrick Swayze returns to episodic television for the first time since his short-lived 1982 series The Renegades, in this A&E TV drama, The Beast. The show airs Thursday nights at 10pm and is then rerun several times throughout the week.
A&E has gone all out in promoting this series, …

This jerk liked to dress up and then kidnap women. He tortured them and then when he was done drowned them. Not a nice guy at all. The big problem was, when in disguise, he wasn’t scary at all. Sometimes he even acted like a disabled man. What woman …

I’m not sure, but it really seems like the show Bones is starting to go downhill a bit ever since they insisted on focusing on Booth and Brennan as a potential couple.
Last night’s episode, The Predator in the Pool, didn’t do much to make me think otherwise either. While …

I know that this is one of the most popular shows on TV but I really don’t like it. Just yesterday I saw that there were some reruns of this show and I started thinking to myself: ‘Why don’t I like this show?’ So I started watching the episode …

MTV has gone reality TV crazy and now they have given Paris another reality show where contestants are now vying for the spot to become Paris’ new BFF. What exactly is BFF really? As far as I know, the acronym BFF is Best Friend Forever, so that would mean, …

Teardrops of hatred, spoiling the land with its wrath, without coherence or mercy for that part. This is episode 3 of Trinity blood and the starting point of the major story arcs, in this case the Istvan “Star of Sorrow” two part story arc. You are introduced to Sister …

Marge begins to tell the story of Lisa’s First word. So the story dates back to when Marge is pregnant and expecting Lisa. Initially Bart likes the idea of having a another sibling, since he thought he could blame the baby for everything. Meanwhile Homer and Marge are hunting …

Time Warner Cable is for New Yorkers what Comcast is for people in the DC area. They seem to have a monopoly despite what other companies have to offer. I happen to like Time Warner more than some of their competitors, mostly because they have some of the best …

Because of my daughter, I have seen almost every episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. The one episode I�ve seen a dozen times and still find hilarious is Big Pink Loser.
This episode focuses on Patrick, (Spongebob�s Starfish friend) and how he is upset about never winning an award. And, he gets …

I’ve never been much of a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Thirty-Fathom Grave, which is just a little overdone for my tastes. Essentially, it’s a story about a navy cruiser that picks up the sound of hammering on its sonar. Investigation leads to the fact …

America’s Got Talent: The Finals for 2010 was a pretty decent show, presented in an hour format. With four finalists, it easily could have been a rockin’ half hour event. I’m admittedly getting tired of all of the fluff that these shows do. I’m not fond …

The third story arc of the anime series Katekyo Hitman Reborn is the Varia Arc. This arc is Season 2, which runs from episode 34 to episode 65, and it introduces Varia and its members, the Vongola rings, and the guardians that will protect the boss of the Vongola …

In 1993, the western returned to television on the Fox Network. It received a lot of buzz. I remember this pretty well. Series star Bruce Campbell was new to most people and was given a lot of press. Just like the old days of Gene …

I was looking forward to seeing the one-off drama ‘Worried About the Boy’ and I think it was one of the best things on television lately. It re-enacts the story of how Boy George, of Culture Club fame, rose to fame back in the early 1980s but I …

I am engrossed in the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother 2010 which, as I write, has been running for just over a week on Channel 4, with a couple more weeks to go. This is the very last one so I am trying to appreciate it before …

When I watch Laramie: Dark Verdict, I can’t help but think about actor L.Q. Jones, who plays a friend of Jess Harper’s. At one point, his character is about to be hung. The reason I remember this is because I have some photo proofs that were taken …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Leviathan, show eight of this second season, features a guest cast that includes Karen Steele as Cara Sloan and Liam Sullivan as Dr. Anthony Sterling. The series stars Richard Basehart as Seaview’s creator, Admiral Harriman Nelson, and David Hedison as the …

The Ghostbusters find themselves dealing with more hauntings than they know what to do with. Despite running themselves ragged all over town, the jobs keep piling up and the phone won’t stop ringing.
The mention of Gozer was a nice touch. Unlike with Cthulu, where they …

Jeremiah: Out of the Ashes was an interesting episode with a couple of different focuses. Much like the previous story, Moon in Gemini, the heroes are split up more than they are together, which I believe is a shame. Buddy shows work best when the chemistry between …

“Goodbye To All That” is a pretty cool continuation of the second season, much thanks to the new terminator baddie in this episode, a T-888 played by none other than Patrick Kilpatrick, making us feel like it’s the movie “Class of 1999″ all over again (for those of you …

Any fan of the original Shining movie will know Stephen King wasn’t best pleased with Kubrick’s adaptation, and in this mini-series, King has the chance to rectify those issues and bring in ignored elements of the book.
The story is the same, the Torrence family spend the winter in …

I ended up staying up for the repeat showing of last night’s episode of Ghost Hunters; Ghost of Buffalo Bill. And, I have to confess, I ended up falling asleep during the second investigation (involving someone’s house) and can’t tell you how that investigation turned out. But, I’m guessing …
