Happy Days TV Episode: A Case of Revenge
I had some free time before work this morning and, since my wife was on the computer, I ended up watching some TV.
As is usually the case that early in the morning, there wasn’t much to watch so I ended up watching a re-run of the show Happy Days …
Star Trek: The Alternative Factor TV Show
What makes Star Trek: The Alternative Factor memorable to me is the guest star appearance of Robert Brown as Lazarus. Brown is a very good actor. I first became aware of him on Here Come the Brides where he played Jason Bolt, and now I’ve seen numerous …
BBQ Pitmasters: Season 2 Premier TV Show
The second season of BBQ Pitmasters premiered this week. I only caught a few token scenes of this series last year, so this is really the first complete show of the show that I’ve seen. I do recognize some of the faces, though, including judge Myron Nixon, …
Poltergeist
Years ago, I got to watch Poltergeist when it first came out. It scared the crap out of me.
Now that I’m older, I finally got a chance to watch it again. And, while it didn’t terrify me like it did when I was younger, it still managed to be …
Criminal Minds Season 2 Episode 21- Open Season
Here is another quite creepy episode of the genius show Criminal Minds. In this show a victim is discovered in the woods with the evidence that he was kidnapped and then shot with arrows, they way that an animal would get hunted. The team is sent to investigate and …
Gisele Bundchen on Ellen Talk Show
I like Gisele Bundchen’s accent so much. If you have the chance to catch the episode on Ellen Talk Show, featuring Gisele Bundchen, you have to not give this a miss.
Although I have read somewhere that she is a strict person and all that, I do think that she …
Battlestar Galactica: The Oath
Every episode of Battlestar Galactica builds on the last. There have been a few misses of course but in general it feels more like one story than any series I can think of. Even Babylon 5 took breaks occasionally finishing one part and moving onto another, but Battlestar feels …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 19 - The Best Laid Plans
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 19 - The Best Laid Plans carries on after the intensity of the previous episode when Leslie Mallory’s Russian amour, Alexi, was killed.
On the good side of things, there’s finally some action between Tom Mallory, the rear admiral played by Dennis Weaver, and the widow, …
Ghost Hunters
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 …
The Prisoner: The Girl Who Was Death
Strange, weird, and nonsensical. That’s how I’d describe The Prisoner: The Girl Who Was Death, which has Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) mysteriously back in London and tracking down a scientist being protected by his strange daughter. There’s no explanation for the opening of the story. It …
CSI Season 8, Episode 6
This was a really excellent episodes of CSI because it featured a crossover with their sister show Without A Trace. Jack Malone from that show comes to Las Vegas to investigate a case that he thinks is related to a disappearance he investigated years ago. A child went missing …
Star Trek Fan Collective:Borg
Star Trek fans voted online for their favorite Borg episodes, and this collection is a most own for any Star Trek fan, and a welcomed addition to any Star Trek collection. There are fourteen episodes, on four discs presented in stardate order, all featuring the Borg. The fans …
The Twilight Zone: He’s Alive TV Show
From January 1963, viewers were presented with The Twilight Zone: He’s Alive, and frankly, I don’t even know what to say about it. I don’t like it, and I never have. It’s unpleasant to watch, and while there is a message, I just don’t care to wait …
The Simpsons
“The Simpsons” is one of the animated series first aired by the cable television channel FOX which I have and will always consider as a classic. I have seen many popular culture references to it in movies and even other cartoons such as “South Park.” However, I think what …
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. …
Destination Truth: Chullachaqui/Bermuda Triangle
Wow, that was a great episode of Destination Truth last night.
First, they traveled to South America (again) to hunt down a mythical creature called Chullachaqui; which looks a lot like a goblin. When we first started watching this I told my wife there was no way they would find …
The Twilight Zone: The Trouble with Templeton TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Trouble with Templeton is another one of the many shows where a person finds solace in their past. Sometimes these outings end up positively and sometimes not. I like this one because it comes with a bit of a message that is …
Forensic Files show
TruTV really has a lot of crime shows that I enjoy. Forensic Files is one of those shows that focuses heavily on the CSI aspect of criminal cases. I will say that I like the fact that producers give the viewers a lot of background information. …
Sense8 (TV series by Wachowskis)
Sense8 is an American Sci-Fi drama TV series with the ambition to do for TV what Matrix did for action films. Sense8 was written and produced by the Wachowskis, so if anyone could get away with such a claim it would be the creators of The Matrix themselves. I don’t …
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
This has got to be the stupidest of all the prime-time quiz shows. I’ve got to admit that I’m not a big fan of the all these new quiz shows, and I don’t really understand their appeal. The title actually gives you an elevated idea of the content — …
Lie to Me
I finally got an opportunity to watch the show Lie to Me last night. I’ll confess, coming in on a series in the middle of it, really did create some confusion for me as to who the characters were. But, from what I can tell, the show is definitely …
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 6
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 6 is the final episode of the miniseries and it’s a very good episode. Melissa Lawson won Nashville Star a couple years ago, but her life and Rick had an affair with another woman.
This was a good final episode and it ended on …
The Inbetweeners - Series 3 - Episode 5
Nearing the end of the final series of The Inbetweeners now and the fourth episode, was pretty good, though not as good as some of the others.
I found it a fast moving episode, rather than one that was full of really comical moments.
Wills mum has gone away with an …
The Simpsons: Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington
I haven’t seen the Simpson’s episode “Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington” until tonight. And, I think it was fantastic.
Some of the later Simpsons episodes have been kind of terrible. But, this one was actually pretty good. It reminded me of what made the show great to begin with.
In the …
Mr. Monk & the Candidate
I got the first season of the show Monk for Christmas and finally got a chance to watch the very first episode again; Mr. Monk and the Candidate. This is a fantastic episode.
Even though I do wish they would have spent a bit more time talking about the death …
M*A*S*H: Change Day
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 Forgotten - pilot
By a fluke, I decided to watch a new drama called The Forgotten. The show stars Christian Slater, who isn’t a performer I’m particularly fond of. There’s no specific reason for that, other than he’s never appealed to me. In this show, he plays Alex Donovan, …

Trinity Blood Episode Twenty-four: “Crown of Thorns: The Lord of Oath” is the grand final stand made by the religious, proactive, inspiring, and determined series known as Trinity Blood, has finally made it to its last stretch. All of the mysteries behind Father Abel Nightroad shall be revealed in …
CHiPs: Bio-Rhythms
Tige Andrews and Katherine Cannon return in CHiPs: Bio-Rhythms. The two appeared in an early episode from this second season playing a father and daughter trucker. I have some issues with the development of this story.
In the opening, Jon and Ponch are overlooking the freeway and Jon …
Spongebob Squarepants:Big Pink Loser
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 …
Munsters
Classic television has done it once again with repeats of The Munsters. The show features Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis who starred in Car 54 Where are You. Pat Priest and Patrick Butchram and Yvonne Dicarlo also appear on the show. However just the characters of …

Twilight Zone Ssn 1: Ep. Walking Distance
The Twilight Zone is a classic television series that has seen many incarnations, but the old ones are the best. The show featured a collection of tales that concerned the supernatural. Often there was a twist ending and a lesson to be learned from each of them. This …
John Adams: Independence TV Show
Independence was episode 2 or 7 for the HBO mini-series, John Adams, which aired in March 2008. It has a grizzly beginning and that’s the type of thing I’m not fond of. Things heat up in Congress, though, was John Adams now participates in. This is …
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man is a powerful episode of this series. It’s a strong show take takes place in a futuristic society where there is no deity and the definition of being useful is totally up to the totalitarian society. The use of this kind …
Diagnosis Murder: Shaker TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Shaker gives us a natural disaster — an earthquake. In spite of the title and event, the focus isn’t really on the earthquake and its aftermath. In fact, I’d call the quake more of a supporting player than anything else.
During the earthquake, Dick Van Dyke’s …
The X-Files Improbable Episode
I first saw this episode of the popular 1990s television series “The X-Files” one night on the cable television channel Sci-Fi. At first I didn’t get to watch all of it since I had only gotten to see the last part of it, however I thought it looked interesting …

The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 1: Ghosts R Us
When Time Life announced that they were going to be releasing a box set of the entire “Real Ghostbusters” series, I pounced on it. I grew up on the cartoon and have been a fan of the franchise for years. For some reason, I had never actually …
The Mentalist - TV show
The first few times I saw this show, I didn’t really grasp the concept and couldn’t figure out why a police investigative team would have some random guy (who used to be a con artist) on their team. It just seemed like a stretch. Of course, I have been …
Law & Order SVU TV Episodes: Counterfeit
Synopsis: The SVU detectives have to prove a cop is responsible for a rape/murder of a pharmaceutical lab assistant.
What I liked about this episode: I think one of the cool things about this episode is how it manages to jerk you in a number of different directions with a …
Boston Public
Boston Public is a show about high school students and their teachers. the show focuses primarily on the teachers and how they interact with troubled kids. Each episode deals with a different scenario between teacher and student.
I really enjoyed this show and was saddened when it was …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Memories of Monica TV Show
Off the bat, let me say that I really don’t like these early season six shows that don’t open with a San Francisco teaser. Instead, they are getting right to the action. We miss the fun side of Paladin, that other part of him that is fancier: …
Gilligan’s Island - Erika Tiffany Smith to the Rescue
Erika Tiffany Smith to the Rescue is my least favorite Gilligan’s Island episode out of all of them. There was very little attention grabbing scenes and the show ran more like a bad soap opera. Zsa Zsa Gabor guest stars in this show as Erika Tiffany Smith. Zsa Zsa …
Super Bowl XLII Halftime show
I’ve seen just about every Super Bowl Half Time show over the past decade; even when didn’t watch the game. But, last night’s performance by Tom Petty was one of the most boring performances I’ve seen in a long while.
I understand how the NFL is now afraid of any …
Stargate SG1: Prototype
This episode revolves around the team finding a man in stasis on a planet. At first they believe his story that he was captured, held prisoner and experimented on but after Daniel goes through the data, he finds something that changes that. The man, Kalek, is actually …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Joan Collins TV Show
It was a Woman of the Year (and there weren’t many of those during the years of the roast) for The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, and that woman was Joan Collins. For one of the few times in the history of the roasts, the dais was predominantly female, …
Smallville: Toxic
“Toxic” is the third episode of the eight season of Smallville. I really enjoyed this episode because it provided the audience with the background of the Green Arrow, who has grown to become one of the more interesting characters on the show. The flashback also illustrated his …
