The Secret Life of the American Teenager: Episode “Moving in and Out”
The ABC Family film that is shown on Monday nights called, “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” had some promise before it aired, but has slowly become a show that is giving teenagers the wrong idea about teen pregnancy and sex before marraige. The episode “Moving in and …
Venture Bros TV show
Venture Bros is quite possibly the best Adult Swim original show. It follows the adventures of a super-scientist, his two teenage sons and his bodyguard as they face assorted villains, including Dr. Venture’s nemesis, the Monarch. But while this may sound like a standard action-adventure series, it’s far …
Wife Swap
I like watching Wife Swap because it gives me a look into other people’s homes! I admit it, I’m nosy! And Wife Swap allows me to peek into the living rooms of other Americans, PLUS I get to watch what happens when they let a total stranger …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Wake the Dead
“Wake the Dead” is the 11th episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. It features a powered up version of Solomon Grundy against the Green Lantern, Superman, Hawkgirl, Dr. Fate, Aquaman, and Lynx. Typically this would be an uneven fight, but Grundy had been powered up by …
The Universe: Parallel Universes
The History Channel’s highly intriguing and always entertaining science documentary series turns in another sensational offering with this in depth, but incredibly palatable look at parallel universes.
It’s not just the thing of science fiction apparently, in fact the raw science is all there and not only might there be …
TV Doctor Who and the Silurians
This was the second serial in season eight of Doctor Who and the first to employ the 7-part format, a decision that would eventually prove to be a mistake.

Psych: From Earth to the Starbucks
I ended up watching another Psych episode I never saw before; From Earth to the Starbucks. It was funny at times, but I have to say it wasn’t the best episode I’ve watched.
Lassiter is feeling down in the dumps a bit and Shawn decides to work a case involving …
Star Trek: Elaan of Troyius TV Show
The last episode to air in 1968, Star Trek: Elaan of Troyius was never a favorite of mine. I’m not fond of France Nuyen as an actress, and I really hate her character here of Elaan. Like most episodes of Star Trek, though, there’s always something to …
The Simpsons: Lard of the Dance
Some later Simpsons episodes aren’t as good as the earlier ones. But the episode “Lard of the Dance” is actually quite interesting.
I don’t know if it’s one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen but I like how they tackle the issue of how young girls want to grow up …

From December 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Treasure is the 16th show of the sixth and final season. In San Francisco, the opening has Paladin (Richard Boone) talking about the 3 ingredients that are necessary for a good salad. He’s talking to Stewart, the waiter, …
Gilligan’s Island - The Second Ginger Grant TV Show
I have to admit this episode gets me confused every time I watch it. My head spins when Maryann becomes Ginger and Gilligan takes on Maryann’s personality. Mind things like this are difficult for me to swallow. I did enjoy watching Ginger perform in the opening scene. She shows …
That Girl: A Tenor’s Loving Care
Carroll O’Connor guest stars in That Girl: A Tenor’s Loving Care as a blustery and arrogant tenor who Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) is supposed to interview, or at least try to interview. When Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes with him, Giuseppe Casanetti, the tenor, says he’ll only to …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jackie Gleason TV Show
And away we go! It was Jackie Gleason’s turn to be honored as the Man of the Hour on the The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast which took place in one of the showrooms in Las Vegas. The dais did include some Honeymooner alumni, and I was happy …
CSI Season 6 Episode 21- Rashomama
The episode was intended to be really funny. And unlike, other episodes of that kind, this time, they have actually managed to make it funny. I enjoyed watching it very much.
In this episode, the team investigates the death of a well known defence attorney on her son’s wedding …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Some Assembly Required
While the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer tends to go for laughs, the second season of the series is a bit more morbid; as the episode “Some Assembly Required” shows.
In this episode, rather than fighting vampires (with the exception of the one in the very beginning), buffy …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Song Festers TV Show
From February 1964, The Andy Griffith Show: The Song Festers is a favorite episode. It’s fun and poignant, and more than either of those, it’s an entertaining half hour. That said, it’s not all new and it doesn’t necessarily make a lot of sense either.
In this episode, …
Caillou
Caillou is a cartoon about a four-year-old boy and his adventures. Both my seven-year-old (when he was younger) and now my almost two-year-old like this show, although I have never been a fan, and I try to change the channel if I know it’s coming on next.
The show does …
Red Dwarf: Beyond A Joke
This episode begins with Cryton creating a lobster diner in celebration of the Red Dwarf crew rescuing him from his old ship, but because he kept the diner a secret they already have plans to visit “Jane Austin World” in the virtual reality suite .I don’t know if this …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Norwich State
Well, last night was the season finale of Ghost Hunters. And, once again, I ended up disappointed.
The investigation itself wasn’t terrible. At least they dedicated the whole hour to one site rather than splitting it up over two different places. But, I was very disappointed with how TAPS went …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Just One Bite

The Santa in the Slush
Normally, when I watch an episode of Bones, I’m impressed with it. Last night was one of the exceptions.
Quite honestly, for an episode that received so much hype from Fox, you would think it would have been better.
First, let�s start off with the kiss that was supposed to be …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Fear, Itself
Once again, I’m watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and have to suffer through another episode “Fear, Itself” that doesn’t even spend any time discussing vampires.
This is the typical Buffy Halloween episode, where Halloween is supposed to be a quiet time and something strange happens to put the gang in …
Wedding Story TV Show

Opportunity Knocks
Opportunity Knocks is the latest in the family game show business. It’s probably doomed, because I really like it. It’s wholesome fun with loving families getting a chance at some much-needed cash, as well as extra prizes. To succeed on this show, your family has to …
Dexter Tv Series: Season 1
I was never a fan of any Tv series but Smallville until this show came about. My ex girlfriend told me about this show a year ago and lent me the DVD of the first season of it. The show is named Dexter and I thought it was funny …
Star Trek: The Man Trap TV Show
Star Trek: The Man Trap has never been one of my favorite episodes. It’s an early episode from the first season, but I think it’s the romance angle that didn’t appeal to me.
Here’s what I like and don’t like about this 1966 show.
–They mystique is gone quickly as …

24: Action-packed TV Series
Can a number bring thrill and suspense to television viewers? I’d like to think so and 24 has done a very good job at that.
24 is an action-drama series that has spanned seven seasons already. It stars Keifer Sutherland as the famous (or infamous) Jack Bauer as a …

Night Gallery: Clean Kills And Other Trophies TV Show
Clean Kills And Other Trophies featured Raymond Massey and included Herbert Jefferson Jr. and Tom Troupe. A big part of the story revolves around hunting, and since I’m against hunting, it’s a little disturbing. This is especially true in the opening scene which takes place in Massey’s …
Natalie Teeger
For some time, there was a big debate about who was the better Monk assistant, Sharona Fleming or Natalie Teeger. That’s easy to answer; Natalie.
The thing I like about Natalie as his assistant is the fact she isn’t afraid to stand up to him and make him confront his …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Black Pearl
From 1982, Tales of the Gold Monkey: Black Pearl deals with the building of a bomb by the Germans. It begins, though, with the finding of something unusual on the body of a dead native. The part actually gets bandied around from person to person, ending up …
Prison Break Season 3

The Wayans Bros TV show
The Wayans Bros is one of the best shows I have seen in a long time! I just love this show! Marlon and Shawn are The Wayans Bros. Marlon is so funny because he makes the funniest faces and he also has a funny voice. The jokes on The Wayans …
Futurama TV Episode: My Three Suns
Hmm—¦I was on a roll there and finding episodes I loved of the series Futurama. But, so far, there have been a couple episodes that just haven’t lived up to expectations. One of these was the one entitled “My Three Suns.”
The episode did start out OK. Fry wants to …
Highway Patrol: Desert Town TV Show
I have to admit that I really enjoyed Highway Patrol: Desert Town because it had some real drama and the outcome was something that was difficult to predict. It’s not that we haven’t seen this kind of story before, but the action is mysterious and curious. It’s …
Sea Hunt: Killer Whale TV Show
Sea Hunt: Killer Whale is not a favorite of mine in that I just don’t like the subject matter. You know going in that what is going to be shown will be disheartening, and there’s bound to be a sorry ending for the whale. It’s the kind …

That Girl: Just Spell the Name Right
Joan Blondell and Robert Alda guest star That Girl: Just Spell the Name Right and are great to watch. Blondell is a high caliber and always makes her roles shine. I’ve always respected how she kept her career going by taking on character roles and such. …
I Love Lucy TV show
The I Love Lucy TV show may be a bit old, but it is still one of the best, leaving far behind most of the modern-day shows that I can only describe as stupidity/immorality parade.
I Love Lucy is funny and tasteful. You can watch it with your children without …
The Twilight Zone: Passage on the Lady Anne TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Passage on the Lady Anne is a show of mystery and romance. From May 1963, it has a really impressive cast, and it’s the cast that makes this show so wonderful to watch.
It begins with a battling couple setting out on a cruise. Their on …
Law & Order Criminal Intent TV Episode: Great Barrier
Synopsis: Goren and Eames track down a young jewel thief and realize that she is being mentored by Goren’s arch nemesis Nicole.
What I like about this episode: One of the reasons I hated Nicole’s final episode (which has her murdered early on in the episode and off camera) is …
