That Girl: This Little Piggy Had a Ball
One of the most classic episodes in the history of That Girl is from the comedy’s first season. It’s called This Little Piggy Had a Ball, and it’s the episode when a curious Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) puts her toe into a bowling ball, and it gets stuck.
That …
Summer Heights High Series 1 Episode 1
The humour in Summer Heights High is right up my street but before I actually checked it out, I thought it was just another shallow teen soap opera. This is a great comedy show actually in the style of a documentary, featuring three characters at the Australian school …
Sea Hunt: Dark Evil TV Show
From July 1961, the fourth season of Sea Hunt, came this 27th show of the year called Dark Evil. I like the name here because it really did cover the villain of the show, which was actually a fish which had some deadly chemicals inside of it. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Genesis TV Show
On September 14, 1962, the sixth season of a very successful TV western began. Have Gun - Will Travel: Genesis gave fans a real treat. For the first time, viewers learned how Richard Boone’s Paladin become the man he is. It was a fascinating concept for …
Apollo Wives
Apollo Wives aired on the BBC surprisingly and covered a reunion of Apollo astronaut wives in Arizona. I’ve watched a bunch of astronaut related programs over the years and this one was very different.
My chief criticism off the bat is that they didn’t identify who was talking as …
Persons Unknown (NBC mini-series drama)
My roommate and I started watching this show when it first premiered as it seemed like it had an interesting premise. A group of random people have been drugged, kidnapped, and dropped off in an abandoned town which they can’t escape. There are cameras monitoring their every …

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 …
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 …
Gareth Malone’s Extraordinary School for Boys TV Show
Okay, who is this Gareth Malone really? I know he’s British and that he loves music, but is he really someone with an award winning history and/or outstanding reputation? I can’t tell, and I really don’t know. I’m left to ponder the query though with the advent …
Beast Wars - Chain of Command
Beast Wars - Chain of Command is one of my all time favorite episodes of the series. I enjoy this episode immensely for several reasons. First of all, it is the first episode of the alien story arc. The alien story arc is one that plays out over the …
Bones TV Episode: The Mummy in the Maze
Well, that was a somewhat cool re-run of the show Bones last night; The Mummy in the Maze.

Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1
Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1 was an okay show. The show is getting a reputation now for star injuries, and this season two contestants didn’t even make it to the first show. Both Jewel and Nancy O’Dell had to withdraw for injuries.
Jewel was replaced by …
Cougartown Season One Episode One
There is one word to describe the pilot of the television series Cougartown and that is awkward.
I’m not sure what i was expecting in a half hour sitcom about older women that prey on younger men but I know t wasn’t this.
The show is about forty something Jules who …
American Idol
I was wondering, as many others do, about how can Simon, Randy and Paula audition all of those huge crowds gathering up in every city the popular show is auditioning. It is just not possible for that to actually happen. Simple math says 10000 people auditioning in one city …
Lost: Maternity Leave
This second season offering from the hit series Lost offers us a rare grouping of characters as Kate, Rosseau and Claire head off into the jungle to help the young mother fit the pieces together from her disappearance in the first season.
As the episode begins, Claire begins suffering …
CSI: New York: Point of View TV Show
I’ve always wanted to like CSI: New York because Gary Sinese is such a talented, dynamic actor. I actually do like, but I’ve never been hooked into it. I watched it more the first season when Sinese’s character was more in mourning over his wife, who had …
Spongebob: New Digs
I was watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter this morning and was watching an episode that was kind of funny; “New Digs.”
Basically, Spongebob freaks out because he’s one minute late for work for the first time ever and, after being “punished” by Mr. Krabs, he decides the best way …

Well, finally, I got another episode of Futurama that was actually pretty good. This one, entitled A Big Piece of Garbage, focuses more on the professor and his accomplishments; in particular, we are introduced to the smell-a-scope, a tool that allows you to smell things in space and ultimately …
Erlin Montel 2
Erlin Montel 2 is a much more improved and personally to me, more better than the 1st part. This part 2 is more revised and it is more natural to see the main actress playing Erlin to be herself totally. She is plump in this drama but she …
CSI
I love all 3 CSI’s. The Las Vegas one is my very favorite though. I always try and figure out who did it and why they did it. I look forward to Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. If I am going to miss an episode, I make sure I …
MacGyver: Out in the Cold
I love this episode of MacGyver. From season two, Out in the Cold is just so much fun to watch. Not only do we get series star Richard Dean Anderson looking cute and sexy in his ski outfit, but we get lots of emotional angst and a …

Loving the CSI shows
Watching the TV all the time, there could be hundreds of shows combined all channels and TV networks which makes it really hard to be able to decide for which one is actually the best of them all. Afterall, we all have different tastes; as for me, I would …
an episode of Ghost adventures, at the Riddle house
One day I was watching this show known as “Ghost Adventures”, maybe you’ve heard of it? well normally I don’t watch shows having to do with Paranormal Activity,but just for the heck of it I thought I would watch because I would hear my friends talking about this show.all …

The Two Coreys: Episode 1.1 - Reunited

“Bloodline” is the eighth episode of the eighth season of Smallville on the CW. This episode was a little light on action but served to further the eventual arrival of Doomsday, one of Superman’s greatest villians.
Clark is sent a mysterious crystal which sends him to the Phantom Zone. …
CHiPs: Trick or Trick
CHiPs: Trick or Trick is the Halloween show and it begins great, with 13 black cats running in front of the very superstitious Frank Poncherello (Erik Estrada). For Ponch, it only gets worse, but it makes for great fun as he deals with walking under a ladder and …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: I Robot, You Jane
There are great episodes of the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and then there are episodes like “I Robot .You Jane” which, in the words of the comic book guy on the show the Simpsons is “The worst Episode Ever.”
Normally, Buffy episodes do one of two things; they either …

The Virginian: The Long Ride Home TV Show
The Virginian: The Long Ride Home was the first episode of this long running western’s 8th season on NBC. It aired in September 1969 and did facilitate another casting change. Out was David Hartman and in was Tim Matheson. I’m not convinced it was a …
Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story
I was a little surprised by Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story because I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. This season six episode reminds me a lot of Boys Town and Father Flanigan, though there isn’t any connection. It’s just the idea that makes …
Sea Hunt: Dead Man’s Cove TV Show
Sea Hunt: Dead Man’s Cove featured Leonard Nimoy as the primary guest star. Nimoy was on the show quite a bit. In this outing, he’s a man who claims his wife died accidentally while they were skin diving. There’s about a five minute scene where he’s …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Amends
While I can kind of understand where the writers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were going with the episode “Amends” I do think they fell a bit short of their goal and produced a somewhat weak episode.
On the surface, this is nothing more than your average Christmas special with …
Columbo: Murder Under Glass TV Show
Columbo: Murder Under Glass has a cooking theme, and this one doesn’t thrill me. Frenchman Louis Jourdan is full of his usual charm and sophistication as Paul Gerard, who is the killer of the episode. He’s involved in what they call a pre-affair with Eve Plummer. …
Highway Patrol: Missing Witness TV Show
Highway Patrol: Missing Witness was one of the better episodes I’ve seen of this old time TV classic. The series revolves around the California Highway Patrol and the man in charge, Chief Dan Mathews, as played by Broderick Crawford. The show can be hard to watch sometimes …

Stargate SG-1: 1969
1969 was indeed a very good year, at least for the team members of SG-1 when they end up walking through the Stargate and finding themselves not in their own time anymore.
Stargate SG-1: 1969 is really a super fun episode that I adore watching. The team’s reaction to their …
Criminal Minds: Safe Haven TV Show
Criminal Minds: Safe Haven was another very violent hour of television, though it was also a compelling sixty minutes that held my attention throughout. This was a combination of the story and the acting, primarily from the talents of Mare Winningham.
In this show, the BAU goes after a …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Phases
OK, normally I object when the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer decides to have our hero fighting something other than a vampire. But, I’m able to forgive the episode Phases because it at least has her fighting a classic enemy; the werewolf.
Of course, the werewolf has a bit more …
