Dog the Bounty Hunter
I was first introduced to this show by my husband. He heard about the show on the radio and we decided to watch it to see what is was all about. This show immediately became one of our favorites and one of our “must-see” weekly shows.
We did …
Stargate SG-1: Small Victories
The fourth season of Stargate SG-1 begins with Small Victories, which concludes the action begun at the end of the third season in Nemesis.
The opening is quite fascinating. It’s a sequence that takes place on a Russian submarine, a real one, and the two actors speaking the lines …
Have Gun - Will Travel TV series
As a young child, I adored watching TV westerns. I definitely had my favorites and still do. No western for me is as great as Laramie, for example. That said, many westerns held my interest and curiosity, including Have Gun - Will Travel, a show that …

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Television Show
This is the best show in late night, Period. For many years, up until this recent year, I have not watched a great amount of late night television. Reason being is because its all the same old stuff. Opening monologue, some sort of regular game or bit they run, …
That Girl: Beware of Actors Bearing Gifts
This story is full of intentional confusion, and it’s just a hoot to see Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) try to figure it all out.
The guest star is Bruce Hyde, and I just can’t look at Hyde without laughing and thinking about his portrayal as Kevin Riley on Star Trek. …
Whoopi: No Sex in the City TV Show
Whoopi Goldberg developed and starred in the NBC situation comedy series, Whoopi, that aired during the 2003-2004 season. She plays a former singer named Mavis Rae who now runs a boutique hotel and is the setting for the series. Probably 80 percent of the scenes in the …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.11: Dooku Captured
The eleventh episode in the series, “Dooku Captured”, takes a bit of a more lighthearted and comedic approach to it unlike the previous two episodes (”Cloak of Darkness” and “Lair of Grevious”) but does manage to remain interesting at the same time. On board a Separatist freighter, Anakin Skywalker …
The Tribe Season 1 Episode 2
In this episode, the show begins where it left off last time and that was in the mall where Amber and the others are. The person lurking in the shadows is a whiz kid named Jack who has occupied the mall for quite some time. Lex and the others …

In 2002, the M*A*S*H 30th Anniversary Reunion aired, reuniting the majority of cast and crew members for the first time since the groundbreaking series had gone off the air. Mike Farrell did the introduction at the very beginning and then it went to a wonderful, casual discussion with …
Wagon Train: The Santiago Quesada Story
I love to see things behind the scenes and watch the background of favorite stories, and that’s one of the reasons I enjoy watching The Santiago Quesada Story of Wagon Train. I’ve mentioned in earlier reviews that if you pay attention, you can see that it wasn’t really …
The Fall Guy: Child’s Play TV Show

American Dad: Rapture’s Delight
I haven’t watched the Show American Dad in some time now and don’t remember a whole lot about each of the characters. But, there wasn’t much on TV last night so I figured I would take the time to watch Rapture’s Delight.
It was an OK episode, but I feel …
Ghost Hunter’s International: Gate to Hell
The more I watch the show Ghost Hunter’s International, the more I find myself not liking the show all that much. Last night’s episode “Gate to Hell” was another example as to why.
The case itself is interesting. They visited a castle with no strategic importance at all and was …
Detective Conan (Case Closed)
When I first saw the description of Detective Conan, a kid who solved cases, I wasn’t too keen on watching it. But then I thought that I might as well check it out. When I finally saw it, I realized that it was a High Schooler who turned into …
The Virginian: The Good-Hearted Badman TV Show
Pete Duel guest starred as The Good-Hearted Badman in this sixth season episode of The Virginian. Back when this show aired originally in February 1968, Duel was using the original spelling of his surname, Deuel. While his brother Geoff continued to use that spelling, Pete changed it …
Charm School Season Three (VH1)
I never thought I would be a fan of Charm School. Still, I can’t say that I am a fan. But I’ve caught a few episodes and have found them to be somewhat charming actually. The ladies are all from other shows. And …
The Andy Griffith Show: A Medal for Opie TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: A Medal for Opie, a season two entry, has never been a favorite of mine, and I’m really not totally sure why. The half hour outing is a very nice story about good sportsmanship, and it’s a prime father and son tale which I …
Desperate Housewives
Desperate Housewives is as crunchy as the popcorns I gorge on during the show! The first season was Fantabulous and the second is even more spicier. The foxy four leading ladies keep getting themslves into embarrasing-hilarious-steamy situations in every episode.
My personal favorite is the role of Eva Longoria as …
Bones: The Santa in the Slush
For no other reason than me wanting something to watch until Ghost Hunters came on, I decided to watch another rerun of the show Bones. This time, it happened to be one I have seen a couple of times before; The Santa in the Slush.
I’m still a bit confused …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Park TV Show
Underwater Park was an episode presented towards the end of Sea Hunt’s second season in 1959.
I really enjoyed the opening segment of Underwater Park because of the underwater footage. We have our show hero, Mike Nelson, ace deep sea diver, taking pictures as he comes in, through, and …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Pilot Part 1
I remember back in the early 80’s when Emerald Point N.A.S. was about to air. I was very excited about the series for a number of reasons. My favorite reason for wanting to watch it was Richard Dean Anderson, who played Lt. Simon Adams. He sure looked …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 18 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 18 has Batou and the Major in Germany trying to track down the terrorist known as Angel’s Feathers.
This was a very interesting and well done episode. It showed an interesting side of Batou and showed off his detective skills …
Phineas and Ferb: Raging Bully
Well, that was a cute episode of the cartoon Phineas and Ferb. I wasn’t expecting much from an episode entitled Raging Bully and about thumb wrestling but it ended up being much better than I expected. In fact, I think it was downright entertaining.
Basically, in this episode, Phineas finds …
M*A*S*H: A Full Rich Day
In M*A*S*H: A Full Rich Day, Hawkeye Pierce sends another letter home to his dad, only this time it’s not written, but spoken on a tape recorder. I love the opening explanation of how Hawkeye ended up with the recorder. It’s pretty funny.
One oddity about this show …

Bones (TV series)
Bones is a crime drama that stars former Angel star David Boreanaz as Seely Booth, a FBI agent who enlists the help of socially awkward anthropologist Temperance Brennan. It is based on the life and books of Kathy Reichs.
The series is your typical boy/girl partnership trope, but it …
Good Times TV show
Before there was “The Cosby Show” or “House of Payne”, there was “Good Times. This Norman Lear comedy, which continues to live in syndication, was first aired during the 1970’s. It’s about the Evans, an African-American family that lives in the Chicago projects and their struggles to rise …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder with Mirrors TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder with Mirrors is one of my favorite episodes of this series, and the reason is due to the special guest star, Emma Samms. I adore Emma. She’s a wonderful person and a nifty actress, so when she shows up on a show, I usually …
Hair Battle Spectacular: More Than Meets the Eye TV Show
Hair Battle Spectacular: More Than Meets the Eye was a little intense as it counts its way down to the final face off. Though I still believe that these folks need real names, humility, and perhaps even a check on reality, what they do is create some incredible …
That Girl: Call of the Wild
Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes on an audition for a commercial in That Girl: Call of the Wild and though she gets the part, she becomes very depressed by the reason why she won the role. According to the man doing the hiring, Ann doesn’t have any sex …
Psych: Lassie did a bad thing
While I’m not as big of a fan as the show “Psych” as I used to be, mostly because I really find it hard to believe everyone is still falling for the fake psychic routine, it does still manage to have the occassional good episode from time to time. …
Naruto Episode 8 Subbed
This episode starts by replaying the last episode shrunk down to a couple of minutes, which was a disappointing way to begin in my opinion because there was nothing worthwhile about the last episode, and then the fight continues. This time at least the fight is a little better …
Family Guy: Chitty Chitty Death Bang
I hadn’t seen the Family Guy episode Chitty Chitty Death Bang until last night and have to say I missed out on a great one.
Everyone loves the baby Stewie and this episode focuses on his first birthday; or as he puts it, the first anniversary of his escape from …
So You Think You Can Dance: Top Four Perform TV Show
So You Think You Can Dance: Top Four Perform was a wonderful evening of entertainment. I really like these top four dancers. They have talent, personality, and heart. I don’t sense anything but support and desire to do their best from any of them. All …
According to Jim TV Episode: Bad Word
I honestly don’t watch the show According to Jim all that much, even though there seem to be re-runs on all the time. I’ve seen a few episodes and they were OK but they never seemed to offer anything that was any different from other series.
I did, however, end …
Zoobilee Zoo
Even though I was born in the late nineteen eighties, the television show Zoobilee Zoo would still air on a local television channel when I was little in the early nineties. Thus, I would watch it when I was still in kindergarten or possibly when I was a little …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 13 has Section 9 looking for the man who sculpted Hideo Kuze’s face, the man who attacked the prime minister. Meanwhile Pazu is having his own problems.
This episode was pretty good, but not as good as the other …
Gilligan’s Island - Home Sweet Hut TV Show
This is episode two and the castaways have decided to build a hut, only one hut to live in. I love how the castaways are optimistic even at the thought of having to live on a deserted island for years and years. Gilligan always causes crazy accidents and this …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature is the 28th show of the series. This science fiction show has always been a favorite of mine, and it’s really been fun to go back and watch them again in order to write these reviews. Of course, …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Wilmer Bass and the Serengeti Kid
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Wilmer Bass and the Serengeti Kid is supposed to be a bit comedic and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
Elisha Cook guest stars and he’s a hoot. He would be a positive reason to watch this episode. He has a wide range …

Hogan’s Hero TV Episode: Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up
I had a chance to catch a re-run of Hogan’s Heroes while at home for lunch today; “Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up.”
I came in a bit late to see the first few minutes of the episode so, in all honesty, I can’t tell you exactly what was …
The Biggest Loser
I have been watching The Biggest Loser for a couple of years now and I am always amazed at the amount of hard work that people will put into losing weight once they are in the public eye. I have never understood why, when there is no money involved, …
Bones TV Episode: Aliens in a Spaceship

This proved to be a very …
