America’s Next Top Model: Patricia Field TV Show
America’s Next Top Model: Patricia Field was the 2nd show of the current high fashion season. The show was the one where the models receive makeovers, which usually sends a couple of them over the edge from the anxiety of having their hair cut or colored.
One gal enlists …
The Rachel Zoe Project
Bravo TV has some interesting and great water cooler reality shows, but it amazes me if anyone talks about The Rachel Zoe Project, except to say how self-absorbed and high maintenance Rachel Zoe is.
Frankly, I’d never heard of her until seeing the commercials for her show during other reality …
Super Nanny show
Super Nanny (with child-care expert and author, Jo Frost) is a reality show that offers more than its share of redeeming value.
Imported from the UK, this program features a different family each week, each having its own set of child behavior problems. Jo spends some time observing the …

The Twilight Zone: A Nice Place to Visit TV Show
Larry Blyden is the main subject of The Twilight Zone: A Nice Place to Visit, which is one of the first season episodes of this great TV series that I’m not very fond of. It’s just not a story that tickles my fancy. There’s nothing particularly wrong …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Village of Guilt TV Show

Avery Brooks returns in A Man Called Hawk: Vendetta, a 1989 outing that places him with a cousin played by Keith David. The cousin’s name is Jesse Turner, and he needs Hawk’s help. Who doesn’t? This show is primarily built from friends and family in need, …
CSI Season 6 Episode 20- Poppin’ Tags
This was another excellent episode of the show. Although it was a bit strange and not quite believable, it still was a lot of fun. The thing about it, is that there was much sadness and human tragedy involved, but it wasn’t much the focus of this episode all …
How I Met Your Mother: Woooo!
“Woooo!” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on November 17, 2009, on CBS. This was a really solid episode. The actors on this show have really hit their stride as a group. It is just a level down from the chemistry …
True Beauty: The Stealing Challenge TV Show
I can’t believe ABC renewed the True Beauty series. I watched it in total disbelief last season. The concept is that models compete in various challenges for what they think are events to find the most beautiful person. Well, they’re right, except that the models assume …
DC Cupcakes: Pupcakes TV Show
DC Cupcakes: Pupcakes was the second outing for this series about a couple of sisters and their relatives who run a highly successful cupcake bakery in Washington D.C., specifically in the Georgetown segment.

Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 3: The Fires of Pompeii
The Doctor and Donna arrive in what they think is ancient Rome, only to realize that they’re in Pompeii. Even worse, they’re on the verge of Volcano Day.

The Twilight Zone: Little Girl Lost TV Show

The Simpsons: E Pluribus Wiggum
I haven’t seen the Simpsons episode E Pluribus Wiggum until last night and I have to confess, it was good enough to keep me up watching it even though I was getting pretty tired out by that time.
Basically, Springfield is holding an election on a bond issue (to rebuild …
Seinfeld
Seinfeld is a comedy sitcom. I have been watching the re-runs of Seinfeld for years now and love the show as it always makes me laugh. This particular show ran for a little over ten years. It focuses on 4 best friends: Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer. Each character …
Vampire Diaries show
Vampires seem to be all the rage these days. Starting with Twilight, there was this major trend toward literature, TV shows, and movies all about vampires. Stephanie Meyer started a crazy fad that has strangely held strong for awhile now. True Blood was HBO’s attempt to market the vampire …
Family Guy - Spies Reminiscent of Us
Right away, this episode held big promises with comedy legends Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd speaking as themselves. It was supposed to be funny and entertaining. The episode hit rock bottom on both promises, fulfilling none of them.
Now that Cleveland has …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 9
Watching this ninth episode of Emerald Point N.A.S. brings about a couple of emotions and observations.
First, every episode, including this one, I just amaze at Sela Ward and that sultry pout and evil glare she has. It’s really making me appreciate her more as an actress. I’ve …

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Ambush (Episode 1)
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Ambush (Episode 1)
This is the first episode of “The Clone Wars” TV series. So far it is also my favorite episode, even though it’s mainly about Master Yoda. This picture shows us why he’s a Master Jedi, how clever and wise he really is. …
High School Musical 3 ( Senior Year )
I was amazed with the first High School musical when I saw it on the disney channel. I grooved with the song “We’re all in this together”. There I was interested. I was also entertained with Ashley Tisdale’s snob attitude. Her bitchy styles was totally hilarious. So, when the …
Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods - final cut
In 2009, Brad Wright decided that the original movie pilot for Stargate SG-1, called Children of the Gods, wasn’t good enough. There were a lot of things he didn’t like about it, so MGM gave him the green light to re-edit the film, giving us this final cut …
Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth
One of the notable things about Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth is that we actually hear an alien language being spoken. Most of the time the aliens have been speaking English. Of course, that’s standard practice for science fiction series, but that is precisely why it sticks out …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Beacon TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 27th episode of its third season was called Underwater Beacon, so named mostly from a piece of equipment deep sea diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) was checking out for the United States Coast Guard.
Though not my favorite stories as a rule, I do like to see the …
M*A*S*H: Preventative Medicine
The main focus of M*A*S*H: Preventative Medicine is Colonel Lacy, portrayed by James Wainwright. It’s probably easy to convey Lacy’s attitude by pointing out his answer to a question asked of him by Major Margaret Houlihan. Hearing about Lacy’s plan to try and take a hill in …
Glee: The Rocky Horror Glee Show TV Show
Glee: The Rocky Horror Glee Show opened with a couple of things grabbing my attention. In the opening credits, there was Meat Loaf of all people, and he was using his last name. I haven’t seen that one in a while.
Then the opening teaser with the big …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Loaded Goat TV Show
In January of 1963, The Andy Griffith Show aired a show called The Loaded Goat. The funny thing to me is that because of the way the show is edited for television in reruns, I had stopped watching this episode. I never knew the outcome of the …

The Wendy Williams Show
I love to watch talk shows during the day because it is entertaining and I love the gossip part of it and that is exactly what the Wendy Williams show is all about. Her show is quite different from other shows and she doesn’t have just ordinary people on …
Lipstick and Dynamite
I’m not sure what I think of the women of Lipstick and Dynamite. Their story is one of the first women who were professional wrestlers. If you want to see a story about truly strong women, in many ways then this is the perfect story.
Wrestling, while staged, is certainly not …
Chappelle show: lost episodes
Whos been waiting for Dave Chappelle’s Lost Episodes? Just about everyone thats who! The lost episodes came to Comedy Central with new hosts to the show, Charlie Murphy and Donnell Rawlings. Now even though Im a fan of Dave Chappelle’s work, I am kinda dissapointed with the Lost Episodes. …
Alias Smith and Jones: Stagecoach Seven
Alias Smith and Jones: Stagecoach Seven is one of my favorite episodes for this hit ABC western series. One of the reasons for that is that Randolph Mantooth (Johnny Gage on Emergency!) guest stars as Dan Loomis. Actually, the cast is really very good in this show …
Betty La Fea TV program
I’m currently watching Betty La Fea of ABS-CBN. It is a local TV program aired every weeknight. It showcased Bea Alonzo playing the part of the ugly Betty and John Lloyd Cruz as Armando, the leading man. The two matched up perfectly. Their roles fit their personalities and their …

The Twilight Zone: An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge TV Show
After years upon years of watching The Twilight Zone, there are maybe two or three that don’t immediately pop out at me where I don’t instantly know the story when it comes on TV. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge from season five is one of those. …
Scrubs show
Scrubs has, over been the years, become one of the most variable shows on television. The first three seasons are, in my opinion, some of the best seasons for any television show ever made, effectively blending wit, gut splitting humor, and enough raw emotion to, at times, completely cut …
Remington Steele: License to Steele TV Show
Remington Steele: License to Steele was the first episode of what would become a successful drama for five years on the NBC Network. The show starred Stephanie Zimbalist as private detective, Laura Holt, and Pierce Brosnan as her fictional detective and agency head, Remington Steele.
