Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 2- A Single Life
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 2- A Single Life
I’d don’t know if I liked this episode. In the beginning, it looked very interesting, and I know that it had a very strong message, which I felt was in very important to express. But the end …
Speeders (TruTV)
I wish I could say that I really like this show. But because it’s called “Speeders” you know that no one is going to get arrested (not really.) There will be no high speed chases, lots of cursing, no blood—”or any sort of real drama. …
The Simpsons: Season 16, Episode 19 - Thank God It’s Doomsday
It’s time for haircuts again, and the Simpson kids try to convince Marge to let them get their hair cut at the mall. When that doesn’t work, Homer rushes in to say that they’re making fresh cinnamon buns at the mall, so they’re throwing out the old ones. …
The Twilight Zone: The Odyssey of Flight 33 TV Show
I really enjoy watching The Twilight Zone: The Odyssey of Flight 33. It’s full of intrigue. What I like in part is how the entire story takes place on an airplane. It’s really up to the actors who play the pilot and crew to make the …
John Adams: Reunion TV Show
Part four of John Adams, the HBO 2008 mini-series, is called Reunion. Following the end of the war, John Adams is back home once again, although not for long. This time, John eventually sends for Abigail to join him in Paris.
The scene where Abigail arrives is prolonged. …
That Girl: That Senorita
There’s an odd thing that I noticed in That Girl: That Senorita. It’s the fifth season and while things began to ease up in the fourth season, in this one things are definitely looser in tone and style. It’s a sign of the times in which That …
Smile ok please
Smile ok please is the funny and interesting programme, which is telecasted on the channel called POGO. In this programme a lot of mischieves and fun is done with the unknown public and the different actions and the face expressions of the people is captured on the camera …

Jekyll was a three part mini-series on BBC and shown on BBC America.
It is considered a “sequel” to the famous story and bring the idea to the current times.

Have I got news for you comedy show
I recently rented out the DVD of have I got news for you, a British comedy show, where comedians and celebrity guests discuss recent news and current affairs. I watched a lot of it on television and the DVD showed the best of the show.
It really was very funny. …
Stargate SG1: Window of Opportunity
“Window of Opportunity,” episode 6 of season 4, was probably one of the funniest Stargate SG1 episodes there was (and there were many).
This episode was tendered along the long of “Groundhog Day.” As it starts out, SG-1 is on a planet with a man who, unbeknownst …
Sea Hunt: Cross Current TV Show
Sea Hunt’s third season saw an episode called Cross Current as it’s 19th outing. Airing in May 1960, this show had some very interesting movements in the water, with Mike Nelson drifting and being turned and tossed. We’ve seen some of this before, but I love the …
The Apprentice - UK - Week 8
In Week 8 of The Apprentice - UK, the candidates had to become produce manufacturers and sellers, thereby leaving the comfort of London for the countryside. The two teams were told to negotiate with the farmers for some raw produce and then they were to take that produce …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Ted Knight TV Show
As was the case for most of these shows, the The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast honoring Ted Knight as the Man of the Hour was put on at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. What I liked about the hour was that it did include some of Knight’s …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 3, Episode 3: The Painted Lady
Team Avatar comes to a small fishing town that has been ravaged by pollution courtesy of a fire nation military factory. I was a bit worried when the episode started out, having grown up in the age of Fern Gully and Captain Planet, I really don’t need some …
Judge lynn Toler
Judge Lynn Toler is on a show called Divorce court on channel 9. While the show just might be another court show, the judge presiding over the cases Lynn Toler is a real fresh of air. She shows her compassion as a mother and as a woman. …
Stargate SG-1: Off the Grid
In my last review for the episode called Ethon of Stargate SG-1, I mentioned that one of the reasons that shows in the final two seasons of the series were poor was because of the lack of attention to SG-1 as a result of the powers that be working …
Ergo Proxy episode 6
On Ergo Proxy, things are not as they seem. On episode 6 of Ergo Proxy, things that are better left hidden will become more apparent as time goes by. One thing for instance is the fact that everyone of the settlement of the banished is actually sick and running …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Prophecy Girl
I finally got to see the season 1 finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Prophecy Girl” and have to admit it made up for the numerous crappy episodes of the series in that first season.
The episode has Buffy finally facing the Master; more importantly it has her doing so …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Ed McMahon TV Show
Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show sidekick Ed McMahon was the Man of the Week on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Carson was roasted himself a few episodes after this one. Oddly, Carson didn’t attend this roast, and McMahon wasn’t at Carson’s. You’d think …
Touching Evil: Grief
Touching Evil: Grief involves yet another grizzly crime where women are killed with their hearts cut out. This show is not for the faint of heart, even when it’s at its best.
There is an early reference to Holly Creegan, David’ ex-wife. He has her hidden away in …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Haunting of the New TV Show
File this one under weird and move on to the next. Actually, to be honest, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Haunting of the New isn’t the worst of these that I’ve seen, but at the same time, this episode from the science fiction series third year is …
MASH: Foreign Affairs
I was waiting for Law & Order CI to come on last night and decided to watch MASH on another channel. One of the episodes I came across was called “Foreign Affairs” and had two unique storylines that were entertaining.
First, you have a Korean pilot being captured and, because …
Friends Episode: Rachel’s Eye-drop
Friends Episode: Rachel’s Eye-drop is again another good episode of Friends that I will always remember. Rachel has a left eye infection and the nightmare starts off when Rachel goes to the Pediatrician. Rachel does not allow the Pediatrician to check her at all.
Even after Monica …

In M*A*S*H: The Gun, Warren Stevens guest stars as Colonel Chaffey, an injured man who checks in a valuable Colt .45 gun that he carries around with him. When the gun disappears, Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) gets blamed for the loss. The truth is that Frank Burns …
Supergirl TV show episode 9: Blood Bonds
The episode picked up where last episode “Hostile Take Over” ended which Non (Astra’s husband) attacked Maxwell Lord’s company. The SFX were great in some places and in some areas not such as the jarring flight effect the production seemed to employ. It could be because there were only so …
M*A*S*H: The Moon Is Not Blue
The 4077th is tired of getting old and blah movies in M*A*S*H: The Moon Is Not Blue, so when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) hear about a controversial new movie called The Moon Is Not Blue, they are eager to have it sent to them.
In …
The 36th Annual People’s Choice Awards
There was a time when I wouldn’t miss this awards show, but as Hollywood changed and what America watched changed, I lost interest. It never got as bad as the American Music Awards, but it came close sometimes. The thing about this particular awards show is that …
Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story
Barbara Stanwyck returns for the second time in season seven in Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story. The story revolves around her and wagonmaster Chris Hale’s romance, something that was hinted at in the season opener, The Molly Kincaid Story.
Stanwyck is a superb actress, and she pulls off …
Smallville: Salvation TV Show
Smallville: Salvation was the 2010 season finale. This show received a surprising renewal which led to this finale and to what will take place next season. As a fan of Michael Shanks, I’m ecstatic. The Justice League which was brought back into play in an earlier …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I think that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a good show. But I only thought it was good when it first came out. This show with a brave heroine could have been classic. But it seems they kept adding to many characters and plot lines. They turned a horror action …
Fargo (crime drama series)
After Breaking Bad, it was a little hard to find another crime drama that I thought would measure up to its suspense and success. However, after someone I knew recommended the series Fargo, I realised that I just had to try it. I had to know why so many people …
Stargate SG-1: The Shroud
Stargate SG-1: The Shroud is a wonderful episode, thanks to the return of Richard Dean Anderson as General Jack O’Neill. It’s not just Jack’s presence, but his friendship with Daniel that makes the show a great one.
Daniel is discovered on a planet as a Prior. He’s beamed …
MacGyver: Gold Rush
I love this episode, MacGyver: Gold Rush, because it features one of my favorite performers, Lee Patterson. Lee was one of the stars of Surfside Six in the sixties, but where I really grew to love his work was on the daytime drama, One Life to Live, …
Adam-12: Log 25: Indians
This review is for Adam-12’s third season episode of Log 25: Indians. One of the major things that stand out in this episode for me is simply the characteristics of Webb-TV. Webb-TV is what is used to refer to Jack Webb TV shows, primarily Dragnet, Adam-12, and …
Masquerade: Spying Down to Rio
Masquerade was winding down its single-season run when the episode Spying Down to Rio aired on April 27, 1984. While I love the series, which is about an American intelligence agency making use of regular citizens to achieve their goals and accomplish a mission, this particular show …

One day Mr. Krabs decides to have a yard sale and get rid of things to make some money, just because he is so cheap. He finds things in other people’s trash and resells them, and that is the way he is. Well, one day Spongebob and Patrick decide …
John Doe seaon 1 episode 7 Mind Games
John Doe is a very good show that unfortunately had just one season back at 2002-2003. It is about a man who has no memory of his past but oddly knows everything else, he knows all the information about any possible argument, during the show different people call him …
Hellcats: A World Full of Strangers TV Show
I was not expecting to watch the new series, Hellcats, at all. I guess I was just bored, but for whatever reason, I tuned in to see A World Full of Strangers, which was the pilot.
Now I think the pilot was altered. There was a cast change …
Gargoyles Episode 2.5 The Mirror
Keith David has an awesome voice, there is no disputing this. Even so, I prefer the theme song before they added his voiceover speech. It’s not bad, but I think it worked fine as a solely instrumental piece.
This episode brings in Puck, who’s summoned by Demona to …
Thriller: The Incredible Doktor Markesan TV Show
From the second season of Thriller came this episode entitled The Incredible Doktor Markesan, featuring Bewitched’s Dick York as Fred Bancroft and Carolyn Kearney as his wife, Molly. The extra thrill about this hour long anthology episode is that host Boris Karloff appears as Doktor Konrad Markesan, which …
Ghost Hunters: Whispers & Voices
Well, I got a new disk of Ghost Hunters Season 3 through Netflix the other day and my wife and I had an opportunity to watch the first episode on it; Whispers and Voices. The episode had potential but honestly wasn’t as good as expected.
Basically, they visited two places. …
The Prisoner: Hammer Into Anvil
In The Prisoner: Hammer Into Anvil, we have another repeat Number Two, the mysterious controlling power of The Village where Patrick McGoohan’s Number Six is being held prisoner by an unnamed group that wants information from him which he refuses to give. The Number Two character tends to …
Columbo: Candidate for Crime TV Show
Columbo: Candidate for Crime is not a favorite by any stretch of the imagination. It’s a political tale, and those tend to bore me. I’m not into the political arena all that much so a show that is all about running for office and the associated corruption …
Thriller: The Weird Tailor TV Show
I hadn’t seen any of the Thriller episodes until this year, and I’ve been surprised at the fact that overall I’ve enjoyed them. However, like Dead Legacy which I had just watched, The Weird Tailor is another show that focuses on the occult. This series likes devil …
M*A*S*H: Dr. Winchester and Mr. Hyde
M*A*S*H: Dr. Winchester and Mr. Hyde is one of those shows that I want to like, but because I love animals I have a hard time really enjoying it. This is even though it all turns out okay. It’s just the thought that perturbs me.
The comedy portion …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 7
In this episode, Dr. Murdock is trying to wean the five vampires off of blood, but it doesn’t help when the shipment of blood he ordered turns out to be nothing more than placebo blood.
