The Twilight Zone: Black Leather Jackets TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Black Leather Jackets is a show that actually misleads a little bit. I always go into to this show and think it’s going to be one thing and then it turns out to be another. The Black Leather Jacket titles can really spin you …
The Simpsons Season 7 Episode 5
The Simpsons family go to an amusement park, especially for very young kids like Maggie. Everyone except Marge and Maggie are thrilled. They do not find anything interesting there except for a petting zoo. Lisa is very fascinated by a small lamb. She is so impressed by that lamb, …
Due South: A Cop, a Mountie, and a Baby
Due South: A Cop, a Mountie, and a Baby was a fairly entertaining show, though like the two shows that preceded it, there was an awful lot of music. I don’t know if the writers for this show were having issues or what, but some of these …
CSI Season 12 Episode 1
I absolutely loved the new episode of CSI- Crime Scene Investigation Season 12 Episode 1. The episode had a really good story, but the main reason why it was so good was the addition of a new character on the show. DB Russell, the new team leader, played by …

The Good Wife: Breaking Fast TV Show

The Office - The New Boss
“The New Boss” is the episode of The Office originally airing on NBC on March 19, 2009. This was a great episode because it actually focused on the workplace, especially a new supervisor for Michael.
Pros: I loved that the plot involved a new Vice President, Charles Miner. …
Due South: The Ladies Man
The season continues with Due South: The Ladies’ Man, and overall, I wasn’t that impressed. However, there were a couple of cute moments that I enjoyed.
One such scene was when Constable Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) went with his partner to a prison. A prisoner comes up to …
The World’s Tallest Children
This program came on TLC and I was so amazed by the families and the children that I saw. They were absolutely huge. Not just tall people, but actually really large. There was this one girl from Thailand who was to travel to England to find …
Death of the Megabeasts
Death of the Megabeasts is an educational special about giant extinct animals that lived in Australia. It seems like a strange idea for a documentary, but the program was very well done. The research that went into the documentary was very thorough and CGI animation was used to …
Fame: Metamorphosis
Fame: Metamorphosis is the premier of the musical dancing television series which was based on a hit movie. I recall at the time being a little put off by star Debbie Allen’s comments on The Tonight Show that they’d found an even better Coco Hernandez than Irene Cara …
Danny Phantom
The only time I really watch Danny Phantom is when my cousins come over. They are ages three, six, eight and ten. I think it’s a pretty cool show from what I’ve seen. I also like some of the messages it teaches kids. There was one episode when there …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Teacher
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Teacher is a second season entry from this half-hour western. It’s filmed in black and white, but that helps this show I think. Color is fun, but sometimes drama is better conveyed in this simplicity.
What is unique about this show is …
Animal Miracles show
“Animal Miracles” is an inspirational television show that airs on the Animal Planet cable network. Hosted by Alan Thicke, each episode features stories about real-life stories where pets committed heroic acts by saving the lives of their owners. Too many people are just not aware of how important …
The Virginian: The Devil’s Children
When I first watched The Virginian: The Devil’s Children, I kept thinking this wicked stepchild, aka: the villainous of the piece, looked darn familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out. Then I looked up the credits and realized it was Joan Freeman, guest starring as a bratty girl …
Sea Hunt: Counterfeit TV Show
Sea Hunt: Counterfeit, from February 1960, began with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) relaxing on vacation in the Bahamas. I did chuckle on the narration when he mentioned that his chosen activity while on vacation was skin diving, which is, of course, his occupation.
The thing about Nelson’s …
Seven days Season 3 Episode 12 Raven
Honestly, most of the third season episodes of this show seem to be classic episodes, you know one of those that every show got to have. I am actually waiting to see Parker on a jury duty, you know when he thinks one thing and the other 11 jurors …

CSI Season 8, Episode 3
This was a pretty good episode of CSI and one that I didn’t see when it originally aired on television because it was after I stopped watching the show. Sarah heads to another shift where she discovers the dead body of a homeless man and the rest of the …
Checkmate: Terror in the East TV Show
Checkmate: Terror in the East is the fourteenth episode of this series about a private detective agency. The story opens in the Middle East, and I was leery from the get go. I normally don’t like Asian focused plots. Ultimately, Chinatown is involved.
Early on, though, I …
The Most Extreme show
“The Most Extreme”, on Animal Planet, is a show you can watch with your kids, because it will fascinate and educate both adults and children. Every episode deals with certain special characteristics animals have and they narrow it down to a list of ten animals that exhibit the …
Alex Haley Queen Mini Series
Alex Haley’s Queen was my first exposure to any of Alex Haley’s work. The mini-series appeared on television in the early 90s, and even though Halle Berry had been a working actress prior to landing the leading role in the mini-series, I think it was her first breakout role …
The Virginian: The Secret of Brynmar Hall TV show
The Virginian: The Secret of Brynmar Hall was really terrific to watch. The story was completely away from Shiloh ranch and focused on Betsy Garth (Roberta Shore) and Randy Benton (Randy Boone). Betsy had been invited to spend a couple of days at Brynmar Hall, the mansion …

Once again, the drama in Stargate: Infinity: The Illustrated Stacey begins with Major Bonner and his Stargate cadets blasting through the Stargate and into battle, only Harrison is inexplicably missing. However, he shows up right after the theme song finishes. By the way, I do like the …
Rifleman Episode 4
This past weekend, my wife was away for the weekend so I hade a chance to watch television unencumbered by the thought process. When such opportunities occur, I often find myself watching either old TV shows, or westerns. This week I got to do both.
I find episode number four …
MacGyver: The Assassin
This is the final episode of the first season of MacGyver. By now, the producers had figured out that Dana Elcar was a plus to the show. He’s in it once again, and like the show before, he has more action. In many of his first …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 5: The Girl in the Fireplace
From what I’ve seen, Doctor Who episodes fall into three categories: ones that take place in the distant past, ones that take place in the distant future, and ones that take place on an alien world. Of course, there are several that take place in the present, thus …
American Pickers Television Show
This is not your typical television show about antiques. This show follows two American pickers who travel throughout the United States looking for discarded antiques and valuables that they sell to antique stores and collectors. Not only does the show follow the exploits of the two men …

TV Show: Bridalplasty
Synopsis: A group of soon-to-be brides compete with each other to earn plastic surgery so they look their best on their wedding days.

Another incarnation of Luc Bessons original film ‘La Femme Nikita’ hit the airwaves this year, with Asian bombshell Maggie Q filling out the title role and surprisingly, its pretty damn good.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Nightmare TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Nightmare was the 17th show of the series’ last season to air on television. From January 1968, it begins as a huge mystery. It actually reminds of an earlier show where Richard Basehart’s Admiral Nelson was pretty much on his …

Gilligan’s Island -The Producer TV Show
Here we are again graced with another famous guest actor Harold Hecuba, a TV producer, played by Phil Silvers. So of course Ginger is second main actor in this show. I didn’t like the way this Hecuba character treated the castaways, more like they are lower than him instead …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 15
In our ludicrous world that we call home, we simply recycle the only lonely good memories we have and in exchange, we are punished for such arrogance to the highest degree. The very same standard applies itself to all humans, whether they be small or strong. This is Neon …
Monk - Mr. Monk is Underwater
Hi, this series has been around for quite awhile now and it is just since lately with the push from my significant other that I have really started taking interest in watching Monk. This episode is about an alleged suicide that takes place on a submarine, one of the …
The Twilight Zone: Living Doll TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Living Doll is yet another one of those shows that make me shudder from the start. I’m not interested, I don’t like it, and I hate watching it. It was a nightmare sitting through it even one more time before doing this review.
Living Doll …
ABC Family’s “Huge” pilot episode
ABC Family has apparently had enough success with its “Secret Life of an American Teenager” to decide to follow that with another lifetime-movie like series, this time centred not around the issue of teenage pregnancy, but that of teenage obesity. Curiosity made me view the pilot and the most …
Cold Case: The Road
I don’t watch the show Cold Case all that often but got a chance to catch an episode of it yesterday afternoon; “The Road.” It turned out to be pretty decent.
Basically, a young woman is lured away from her engagement party and is kidnapped before anyone realizes she is …

The Virginian: Run Away Home

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 …
