The Virginian: Vision of Blindness TV Show
From October 1968, The Virginian: Vision of Blindness was the 4th outing of this 90 minute western’s seventh season on the air. I’ve been watching a few more of these shows lately because David Hartman is now in the cast as David Sutton, one of the ranch hands …
Hawaii Five-O: The Big Kahuna
Except for a re-editing of the series pilot as a two-part story that followed this show, Hawaii Five-O: The Big Kahuna is the final episode of the first season of this long-lasting crime show. It focuses on a Hawaiian legend, the goddess of fire, Pele. She is seen …
Pulling - Series One
Donna’s not happy. Stuck in a relationship she doesn’t see going anywhere, in a job that doesn’t match up with the lifestyle she years for and fast approaching thirty; her ten year plan isn’t going as intended.
Elsewhere, Donna’s friend Karen’s day to day usually involves drinking herself to …
Outlander (romance drama television series)
With all the hype surrounding the premiere of the television series Outlander, I honestly thought that it would have been something that I might enjoy. This was especially after I discovered that it would be set between post World War II and that the plot would contain elements of time …
Kara no Kyoukai anime
Hello,
What attracted me to this anime was the music. Composer Yuki Kajiura together with Kalafina’s vocals, the combination is pretty much magic. Upon hearing this, you can feel the supernatural theme that acts as an extension of the anime, thus giving people a hint of what the anime …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter is written by Gene Roddenberry in his pre-Star Trek days. I have to give the show credit here, too, because it brought back characters regularly for follow ups; at least, that’s what has been happening in the first …
South Park
I have always enjoyed the cartoon called South Park. This show is just funny. I really like all the characters. I like the funny music in the show as well as the sound effects. I think the story lines in south park are really dumb. But I also think that …
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says: “There’s No Free Lunch” TV Show
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says: “There’s No Free Lunch” is the second regular episode of this detective drama, which is really a comedy in drama’s guise, that stars Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum.
Here are a few observances about this hour of entertainment which, by the way, was both …
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 15 Unfinished Business
I thought it was a pretty decent episode. I enjoyed it, although I felt it was a little bit slow. And despite the fact that Reid is supposed to have these special mental skill and photographic memory, I thought it was just a little bit too much how he …
The Simpsons: Miracle on Evergreen Terrace
Christmas must be around the corner. I say this because I was flipping channels last night and came across the Simpsons Christmas episode “Miracle on Evergreen Terrace.” Fortunately, I had time to actually watch it for the first time in more than a year.
Of all the Simpsons episodes that …
Diff’rent Strokes (TV sitcom)
When I was a lot younger, I used to love this sitcom. For some reason I enjoyed watching the three young kids, Kimberly, Willis, and Arnold running around that two-dimensional looking penthouse apartment. The decorations were ritzy. I can’t really believe that they lived …
The Virginian: The Payment TV Show
The Virginian: The Payment focused chiefly on Clu Gulager and his deputy sheriff character of Emmett Ryker. In the show, Ryker is anxious about the impending arrival of an old friend, Abe Clayton as portrayed by veteran performer, Lloyd Nolan. What we come to discover is that the …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 20
This is the absolutely my favourite episode of CSI New York ever. Usually when I watch TV I do a whole bunch of things in between, but this time I was so into the story I think I was sitting the whole time with my mouth open. It …
The Office: Local Ad
This season of The Office has been alternating between hour-long episodes and half hour episodes and again I find that the half hour episodes are far better. Local Ad is one of those shorter episodes, but it still feels a little like filler.
Perhaps the need for every episode of …
The Simpson’s: Barting Over
Our infant daughter took a while to fall asleep last night so I ended up sitting up with her and watched the late episode of The Simpson’s. It happened to be the one entitled “Barting Over.”
This one was somewhat funny. Bart discovers he made a commercial when he was …
The Andy Griffith Show: Prisoner of Love TV Show
From February 1964, Susan Oliver guest stars as a siren like female in The Andy Griffith Show: Prisoner of Love. She’s actually brought in by the state police to be held in the Mayberry jail for one night. The music that is used with her character is …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Bells to Perdido
Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Bells to Perdido is the first episode of this series and it dates back to 1957. That’s a time when black and white was all that was on the TV screen and back when stereotypes existed. I mention this because this …
The Fall Guy: Three for the Road TV Show
The Fall Guy: Three for the Road did have its moments, and most of those included recurring guest star, Judith Chapman. She’s a terrific actress, no matter what role she takes on. Her Kay Faulkner actually annoys me off and on, but she’s well done and very …
Real Chance at Love (VH1 TV show)
This has to be the most ignorant show on television. First of all, I cannot believe that this show even exists. But it exists all because of Flavor Flav. If he had not had that stupid show Flavor of Love, then New York would never have …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Pandora’s Box TV Show
From May 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Pandora’s Box was the 35th show of the fifth season for this Richard Boone western series. This outing had some politics to it and those aren’t usually shows I enjoy that much. Basically, Paladin (Boone) is asked to bring …
Highway Patrol: : Christmas Story TV Show
Highway Patrol: : Christmas Story was the last show of the first season, airing in June, which seems odd, but that’s okay. Maybe the records are wrong about that, or maybe that is how early television was and I’m just too into what I consider to be normal.
In …
Project Runway: The Art of Design
Last night’s final Project Runway challenge was somewhat entertaining. The designers were taken to an art museum and told to create an outfit based on something they were inspired by. This ended up being everything from an old bed to moss on a fountain outside.
I have to tell you …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 10: The Family of Blood
This episode picks up where the last left off, with John Smith being forced to comply to an order that makes absolutely no sense to him made by beings that he has no seeming familiarity with. Kudos to Martha for turning the tables the way she did. …
TV Episode for Destination Truth: Issie/Islandic Elves
I got done with work early yesterday (family thing yesterday afternoon) and, since I had some free time before we had to leave, I ended up watching part of a Destination Truth marathon on TV. One of the episodes was from an earlier season and I hadn’t seen it …
Law & Order SVU: Babes
Yeah, once again a Law & Order show decides to take some story from the newspapers and turn it into a show. The Law & Order SVU episode “Babes” takes the stories of a possible teenaged pregnancy pact and turns it into a story of rape and murder.
The idea …
Diagnosis Murder: My Baby Is Out of This World TV Show
Boy, do I not like this show, Diagnosis Murder: My Baby Is Out of This World. In fact, in my view, it was a horrible way to end a TV season. I think they should have reversed this one with the one that aired before it, which …
The Twilight Zone: The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine, episode 4 of the series, was the first to deal with people out of place with the times. It’s a theme that was carried out in other episodes, often involving stage, screen, or television. This episode focused on a …
NCIS: The Truth Is Out There
A man goes into a bathroom at a night club. While he is in there, he notices blood dripping onto his shirt from the ceiling. Like most people in television shows or movies, he lets his curiosity get the best of him and investigates. He is …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: By the Numbers TV Show
From September 1992, the cable television series The Ray Bradbury Theater presented a show called By the Numbers which starred Ray Sharkey. The action begins with a lot of military like shouting, but then transports us to a train. It’s weird right off the bat as one …
Heroes show
Heroes is a show on NBC and it’s one of their top rated shows if you ask me. If you’ve never seen an episode of Heroes, although I don’t know who hasn’t, it’s about people with special abilities. Basically the show follows a handful of people with special abilities …
Ghost Hunters: Fort Delaware
I ended up watching one more rerun of the show Ghost Hunters last night; “Fort Delaware” and have to admit that was pretty cool.
They visited the fort, which is located on an island and is rumored to have paranormal activity. I’m still not 100 percent convinced it is haunted …
Hawaii Five-O - The First Season DVD set
The first season of Hawaii Five-O is offered in slim pack cases, with two disks in each jacket, except for the last one. That’s a total of seven disks. Now I have some concerns about these slim packs because there are some that can actually damage DVDs …
The Simpsons TV Show
This show I would say is an okay show. It’s not the best but it’s not the worst show in the world either. It kind of reminds me of Family Guy, but Family Guy is better. But it sort of does the same thing. It makes fun of normal …
Scream Queens
I absolutely have no idea how in the world this reality TV show made it onto the air. I know that you can basically make a reality show out of anything these days. But this one is so corny that I had to laugh whenever I happened …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 15 (Animated)
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 15 begins with Aang finding a Water Tribe weapon and Sokka and Katara meet up with Bato, a member of the Water Tribe. Aang starts feeling left out because he’s not part of the culture and makes a very bad decision.
This episode was …
Whose Line Is It Anyway? TV Show
First off, I would just like to say I love this show!
The comedians are really talented, the whole consept of the show is great!
How the whole thing works, is the host (Drew Carrey), will take suggestions from the audience on what scenes the comedians(Ryan Stiles, Colin Mocherie, Wayne …
Harper’s Island Season Finale
Harper’s Island season finale was very good. It made me jump in a lot of scenes, fearing for the different safety of the victims and the remaining ones in the episode. It was a really close call for Abby and Jimmy and besides them, Shea and Madison survive as well.
Wakefield …
Stargate SG-1: Full Circle
Happy days are just about here again! Full Circle is the final episode of season six of Stargate SG-1, and Michael Shanks returns as Daniel Jackson. The opening scene is sheer heaven. Daniel talks to Jack in an elevator, and it’s just like old times. …
Teach - Tony Danza: Homesick TV Show
Teach - Tony Danza: Homesick is the fourth effort into telling the story about this well known performer teaching for a year at a high school in Philadelphia. Danza had a lot of guts to take on this project, and I’m hoping that by the end of the …
Highway Patrol: Reward TV Show
This was the 39th and last episode of Highway Patrol’s third TV season, and it opened with a nice, long car chase with an officer trying to chase down an injured felon named Ellis Colton, played by Troy Melton. Eventually, Colton dumped the vehicle and sought shelter at …
Friends season 10
I am a mad fan of this famous TV show called Friends, and I am watching this show for 10 years now, and it has become a part of my life also. I own all the season, and I love all of the seasons, specially the season 10, which …
Hair Battle Spectacular: Episode 2 TV Show
After watching this really ridiculous hair styling competition on the Oxygen Network the week before, I decided to try it one more time, just to see if maybe it would seem saner the second time around. Therefore, I’m reviewing Hair Battle Spectacular: Episode 2 . It began …
Season 16, Episode 3 - Sleeping with the Enemy
In this episode of the Simpsons, Lisa experiences body issues when her classmates tease her for being chubby. When her father’s pep talk and a trip to the mall only make her more insecure, she becomes obsessed with becoming thin. Meanwhile, Bart calls for a party, because …
Stargate SG1: Chain Rection Season 4, Episode 15
When General Hammond resigns after SG1 comes in hot from a mission, Jack isn’t buying the, “I’m tired of sending good people out to die,” rhetoric the General is saying. When General Hammond leave and Major General Bauer arrives and begins dismantling the team, Jack is pissed. …
Star Trek the Next Generation Episode: First Contact
As I mentioned in another review, I was watching a few re-runs of Star Trek the Next Generation this past weekend and came across a couple that I hadn’t seen before. One of these was the episode entitled “First Contact.”
This one was actually a bit interesting to me because …
