CHiPs: The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs
A couple of months after the second season of CHiPs ended, NBC put together a special two-hour event called The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs. I’m not sure what the intent was, if they just needed to feel a time slot and thought this was a way to do …
Fame: Metamorphosis
Fame: Metamorphosis is the premier of the musical dancing television series which was based on a hit movie. I recall at the time being a little put off by star Debbie Allen’s comments on The Tonight Show that they’d found an even better Coco Hernandez than Irene Cara …
Columbo: A Case of Immunity TV Show
Unfortunately, Columbo: A Case of Immunity is one of those episodes that really doesn’t appeal to me. It guest stars Hector Elizondo as a foreign embassy worker, so he has diplomatic immunity; at least, on the surface. He’s a security worker who kills the security chief and …
Death Note Episode 22 (Anime)
Death Note Episode 22 begins with Misa playing the recording of Higuchi revealing that he is the third Kira. L decides he won’t arrest Higuchi until he learns how Higuchi kills people. He decides to trick Higuchi by using a fake Sakura TV special so that Higuchi …

The Simple Life (television)
“Laugh and the world laughs with you”. That phrase does not always seem to alighn properly with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richey’s, The Simple Life, more often than not, does it? While this dynamic duo makes millions of dollars based upon their innate ability to function in …
M*A*S*H: Bombshells
M*A*S*H: Bombshells is a cute little story about a rumor that gets out of hand. Just joking around in the mess tent with Sergeant Max Klinger (Jamie Farr), Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) come up with an impromptu rumor, claiming …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 1, Episode 1: The Boy in the Iceberg
This, like Gargoyles, is a show that I have heard nothing but great things about. After discovering that all three seasons are available on Netflix’s Instant Watch list, I decided to finally check the series out.
The episode opens with a narration explaining the backstory of the four tribes, …
Uefa Champions League Magazine Television Show
With interest in the Uefa Champions League touching all corners of the earth, a weekly show like the Uefa Champions League Magazine, which rounds up all the previous week’s exploits is a welcome necessity for me, and something that has become a huge part of my football lifestyle.
I think …

Smallville Season 8 Episode 3
To me this episode of Smallville was a bit bizarre. The story was that Oliver Queen had been poisoned and only had twelve hours to live so Clark and all his buddies had to find out what was wrong with him and find an antidote.
It brought up …
Star Trek: The Original Series - Season One Remastered
When it was first announced that the original Star Trek was going to be treated to a special effects update, I was excited. Sure, I liked the show for its characters, stories, and music, but the special effects play an important role, too. To me, the special effects can …
M*A*S*H: Kim
I’d forgotten about M*A*S*H: Kim, but it’s actually one of the most endearing episodes of the entire series. It’s a show that lets Wayne Rogers be the standout, something that really didn’t happen all that often. The Kim episode gives his Trapper John McIntyre character depth as …
Sun Direct
Who says India is moving forward to a digital era, many new companies have come up with some very luring offers for the digital cable service and I too was convinced into throwing away the monthly cable subscription and buying Sun direct for some better experience at cheaper price.
I …
Friends Episode: Emma’s Birthday
Friends Episode: Emma’s Birthday is a very cool and funny episode. Emma’s birthday starts off happy and all with Rachel talking to Monica about the birthday plans and all that. And the part which gets Rachel all riled up later is when Ross takes the cake from the …
Roseanne
Roseanne is probably the worst TV show I have ever seen. It’s about a fat slob named Roseanne. She is not funny, her voice is annoying, and she is not pretty. How anyone could find this show funny is beyond me. Every time I see the show starting up I …
That 70s Show: Won’t be Fooled Again
Well, that was a cute episode of That 70s Show; Won’t be Fooled Again.
There are two story lines that were worth following in this one. First, Donna forgets to take one of her birth control pills and, before too long, everyone learns there’s a chance she might be pregnant, …
Stargate SG1: The Powers That Be
This episode begins with Vala irritating Mitchell instead of Daniel. Seems she has stolen a case file and has found that a Prior has visited a planet that she knows very well. She tells Cam they have to go there and talk the people out of joining …
The Simpsons Season 7 Episode 10
It is The Simpsons 138 episode and they have named it Spectacular Episode. Basically this episode accounts for all the previous episodes of The Simpsons when they featured on the Tracy Ullman show. I must say, the animation has improved a lot. Compared to what it was, which was …
Strictly Dr. Drew (television show)
The Discovery Health Channel has introduced a show called Strictly Drew that is on Thursday evenings, and offered as an On-Demand option, for those of you who obtain that service from your cable company. Anyway, I have watched the show only twice and I am now addicted. …
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, …
Sony Bravia 55″ 3D LCD model # kdl-55hx800
I am very pleased, can’t really complain
I bought this TV on 01/23/11 to replace a 2-year old 52″ 120hz Sony LCD tv. To be honest I wasn’t really looking for a 3D tv I just wanted a 55″ LED tv with 240 Hz. But I couldn’t find a …
JT Edson’s Floating Outfit
The western series JT Edsons Floating Outfit are based on a group of people in the western era who help people.
I love this series. I like the imagery that Mr. Edson uses in his books. He brings his characters to life so easily. I can picture the events in …
Timothy (Youngblood) Chapman
So there used to be this show on TV that was called Dog the Bounty Hunter. The star of the show liked to call himself “Dog” and he was a bounty hunter. Last fall the show went off the air because it came out that “Dog” liked …
Adam 12 - Log 95: Purse Snatcher
Log 95: Purse Snatcher is the third episode from the third season of Adam-12, NBC’s hit police drama. Adam-12 is one of the shows that I refer to as Webb-TV, meaning it came from the mind of Jack Webb. It has a story to tell and it …

Sea Hunt: Hot Cargo TV Show
From January 1960, Sea Hunt: Hot Cargo deals with Mike Nelson leading the first underwater flotilla command for the Coast Guard, which is a bit of a twist. We’ve seen Nelson on reserve duty for the Navy, which is logical since he’s an ex-Navy frogman, but what we …
The Simpsons: Apocalypse Cow
Yet another Simpsons episode I haven’t seen before; where have I been. If I had known about the episode “Apocalypse Cow” I wouldn’t have been so quick to write off the later seasons of the show.
This one was actually quite interesting. You have a bored Bart joining the 4-H …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: There’s One Born Every Minute
There’s One Born Every Minute is the next episode of the adventure series called Bring ‘Em Back Alive. It stars Bruce Boxleitner, who isn’t an actor I particularly enjoy, along with Cindy Morgan and Clyde Kusatsu. Boxleitner is big game hunter Frank Buck with Morgan playing Gloria …
Ice Road Truckers - The Polar Bear Returns TV Show
For some odd reason, it’s really intriguing to watch truckers risking their lives as they haul gear over an ice road. That’s what we’ve seen for three plus seasons now on Ice Road Truckers.
This second episode of the fourth year of Ice Road Truckers had some sections that …
M*A*S*H: Foreign Affairs

Sanctuary: Next Tuesday
Amanda Tapping first came to my attention as Sam Carter in Stargate SG-1. After ten seasons and two movies, she has moved on to this new science fiction series, Sanctuary. Actually, this show began on the internet with webisodes while SG-1 was still in production. The …
Dancing With the Stars (TV reality show)
Here is yet another reality show that I happen to watch when I have the time and/or opportunity. Dancing With the Stars is so corny. Yet you get drawn in when you realize that the most uncoordinated celebrities try out for the thing and are paired …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Juliet
In this episode of Have Gun - Will Travel, entitled Juliet, Paladin (Richard Boone) accidentally winds up in the middle of a small war. Unfortunately, there are a lot of problems with this episode, even though it’s actually entertaining. Interestingly, the show was written by Gene Roddenberry. …
The Shield
The Shield is one of the most creative and entertaining shows I have seen lately. I have to say that the storyline and concept of this show is great. It’s about Vic Mackey a crooked cop. He makes deals with criminals and keeps secrets from the other cops. The storyline …
Supernatural 4.17 It’s a Terrible Life
I’ve maintained for some time that Supernatural is one of the best shows on TV. It’s up there with Venture Bros. for me. This episode was a fine example for that. It was funny, had great character moments as well as being creepy.
It was a …
A Man Called Hawk: The Master’s Mirror
From 1989, A Man Called Hawk starring Avery Brooks debuted on ABC. Brooks was recreating his colorful character of Hawk from the hit series, Spenser for Hire. For some reason, Hawk has returned to his Washington D.C. and that’s where the action takes place.
To be up front, …
Yo Gabba Gabba
Yo Gabba Gabba is, ostensibly, a children’s show, but I find myself drawn into it just as much as my children.
The basic premise is that DJ Lance Rock has friends who come to life when he removes them from his boom box and says the magic words “Yo …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 8: 42
The TARDIS arrives on a vessel that is badly damaged and drifting towards a nearby sun. They have only 42 minutes to get everything up and running if they want to survive.
Now, at first glance, this seems like a simple solution, just load everyone into the …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit (Bad Blood) Episode
I thought this episode of Law and Order SVU was a little bit more than interesting. It was also educational in my eyes, as before watching it, I was not aware that some psychiatrists thought that sometimes bad behaviour and qualities were genetic. Nevertheless, despite watching the episode which …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Jon Voight
So, after watching Shatner’s Raw Nerve for the first time when Leonard Nimoy was on, I kept the show on for another airing, this time with guest Jon Voight. There’s no question Voight is a good actor, but what is at issue is how good of a father …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Some Live Like Lazarus TV Show

CSI Season 3 Episode 6- The Execution of Catherine Willows
The beginning of the episode was, for no better choice of words, plain cool. It was so unexpected that it grabbed my attention right from the beginning. They did a really good job with this one. It was potentially a really tricky subject, but they handled it quite well, …

Cold Case
Cold Case, a tv series, another one on police force. This one force focus on cold cases, with new evidents leading to the criminal. This series is interesting. Though I don’t really see any plus attribute in this series to be said as one of my …
