Care Bears
When I was a kid I watched many cartoons. Not many of them stayed with me however I do remember the Care Bears, I loved them as a kid and although I don’t love them now, it’s dwindled down to a mild like I think they are …
Naruto Episode 10 Subbed
After a brief tantalizing taste of action Naruto returns to a peaceful setting and this episode is dedicated solely to character building and general information. At the cottage by the sea we meet some new characters who will never be seen again after this brief arc but a good …
House: The Jerk
Finally, a patient that is so annoying, it makes House look like a saint. The episode “The Jerk” was actually quite an interesting episode considering he has a dying patient, doesn’t know why the teenager is dying and has to deal with someone who is such a jerk, you …
Katekyo Hitman Reborn Season 2 Varia Arc
The third story arc of the anime series Katekyo Hitman Reborn is the Varia Arc. This arc is Season 2, which runs from episode 34 to episode 65, and it introduces Varia and its members, the Vongola rings, and the guardians that will protect the boss of the Vongola …
What Not to Wear TV Show (British Version)
As a big fan of the show What Not to Wear (the U.S. version), I couldn’t help but check out the British version when I saw it listed in my TV listings. I have to say, I was disappointed. Perhaps it is cultural. I enjoyed listening …
M*A*S*H: The General’s Practitioner
In M*A*S*H: The General’s Practitioner, General Lowell Korshak (Edward Binns) wants to transfer Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) to his staff to be his personal physician. He learns about Hawkeye from his assistant, Colonel Bidwell, played by Leonard Stone. Both Binns and Stone are strong character actors and …
Stargate SG1: Inauguration Season 7, Episode 20
As usual, at the end of each season, Stargate SG1 writers fudge and take the easy way out for an episode, choosing to show us clips from previous episodes. While these clip shows are good for those who are just coming into the Stargate Universe, they are a …
M*A*S*H: That Darn Kid
M*A*S*H: That Darn Kid is the final episode of season 10 and it’s a comedy focused one, unlike the previous season’s rather downbeat episode. For the second time during the series, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is paymaster, a job he doesn’t look forward to at all.
Just when Hawkeye’s …
Futurama Season 1 DVD
If you’ve heard the latest in Futurama news and are a Futurama fan you’ll probably be just as happy as I am: Futurama is coming back to TV! Unfortunately it isn’t going to be hitting the airwaves again until 2008, so we Futurama fans are just going to …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 21: Night Game
The first few minutes of this episode were definitely the weak point. Oh, the setup is simple enough, Winston is trying to convince someone to join him in going to a minor league baseball game. Ray and Peter are all for going to a ball game, but …
Stargate SG1: Family
This episode marks the first rising of Apophis. While SG1 believed that Apophis was killed in the explosion on his ship, Bray’tek tells them that he and Klorel escaped via the rings, much like Daniel did.
Bray’tek tells Teal’c that Apophis has kidnapped his son, R’yac. The team …
Diagnosis Murder: Death by Extermination TV Show
The woman is on fire in the show business industry. I’m writing about Betty White, who is the primary guest star in this December 1994 show, Diagnosis Murder: Death by Extermination. In this show, White plays Dora Sloan, the sister of Dr. Mark Sloan, played wonderfully by …
The League of Gentlemen - Series Two
The show that brought us stranger phobic Tubbs and Edward, pen loving Pauline and the germ hating Dentons is back, and goes from strength to strength.
With the thread of the new road gone, Tubbs and Edwards can go about slaughtering passers by with one less thing on their …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 6: Ascension
This episode picks up with Mulder getting Scully’s message wherein she is subsequently kidnapped by the escaped mental patient/UFO abductee named Duane Barry. A thought occurred to me just after I wrote the review for the last episode, why would he take Scully? He had no interaction with …
M*A*S*H: Welcome to Korea
This hit comedy show hadn’t even had a chance to work on the new commander for the 4077th unit when it suffered another blow. Wayne Rogers decided not to return, sending his Trapper John McIntyre home to the United States where years later he’d turn into Pernell Roberts …
The Christophers Present … A Link in the Chain
The Christophers Present … A Link in the Chain is another show I just stumbled upon while searching out something new. I’m just tired of the junk we see on TV these days. I wanted new shows, even if those new shows were decades old, like this …
The Twilight Zone: Still Valley TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Still Valley is another one of the shows that I’ve never been all that crazy about. It’s a little spooky and weird, not in a scary way but just in its telling. It involves some black magic, and that’s not my thing either.
This is …
Operation Repo Tv Show
I love to watch reality television shows and one of them is Operation Repo. It is a reality show that follows a family that goes out as repo people to repossessed cars from people who have not paid their car payments. This show is very interesting and entertaining and …
Due South: All the Queen’s Horses
Paul Gross helped write the story of Due South: All the Queen’s Horses from season two. His Benton Fraser, Canadian Mountie, character is in Canada, joining a slew of other Mounties and their trusted steeds on a public relations tour. Also present is Inspector Meg Thatcher. …
Friends Season One - The one where Nana dies Twice
Ross and Monica are devastated to find out that their Grandmother is really sick in the hospital and they are called to come to her bed and say their goodbyes. When they do arrive at the hospital, they find out that she has already passed. When they go into …
CHiPs: Family Crisis
There’s a lot going on in CHiPs: Family Crisis, one of the early shows from the second season of this police drama which stars Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada.
Brianne Leary joins the cast as Officer Sindy Cahill, the first regularly featured woman on the team. She doesn’t ride …
Here Come the Brides: The Log Jam
Here Come the Brides: The Log Jam is a show that has moments that are fun, but it’s also one of the more frustrating episodes of this series for me. Basically, there haven’t been any proposals in Seattle recently when all of a sudden, Jeremy Bolt (Bobby Sherman) …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Doing Time
In this episode, Spoongebob gets into a lot of trouble when he is taking his driving exam and practically wrecks all of Bikini Bottom because he really doesn’t know how to drive. When Mrs. Puff is found guilty of not properly teaching him, she is thrown into jail. The …
Dancing with the Stars - AU: Top Six Perform TV Show
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see the show from last week. I really love watching this Australian version of Dancing with the Stars, even though I don’t know the celebrities. With the music, costumes, and setup of this series, it’s been fun to catch. I just …
House: The Itch
After watching House and Cuddy kiss last week, I expected this week’s episode “The Itch” to deal with their possible relationship.
Instead, we got a boring storyline about how they are still trying to decide what to do regarding the kiss; which ends with House outside her door in the …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 7: Ghost in the Machine
From what I’ve read, this episode got mostly negative reviews. I’m not sure why. I mean, yeah, the opening makes it clear that the machine is responsible (though I’ll take that over teasers that don’t imply anything out of the ordinary) and it was a tad formulaic, …
Home Improvement An Older Woman
I’m a huge fan of the show Psych so when I saw Maggie Lawson starring on a re-run of Home Improvement at lunch today, I had to take a few minutes to watch it.
Overall, the episode, entitled “An Older Woman” was pretty decent. Most of the episodes from that …
Simpsons - Elementary School Musical
As Seasons of the Simpsons go, Season 22 has been not even hit and miss episodes. They have just been disappointing episodes with very few humor points involved in them. And this episode was no different than the others. It was …
Burn Notice: Trust Me
My first reaction to Burn Notice: Trust Me wasn’t positive. There was a lot of ’she’s not my girlfriend’ type of stuff, which is so second grade in my mind. It just ruined any chance I had to even want to watch this episode. While I …
Oprah’s Big Give Episode 1
It seems like these days everyone has a reality show. Yes, Oprah has joined the reality bandwagon with her show The Big Give. On the first episode airing on Sunday March 2nd 2008, talk show queen Oprah Winfrey handed five groups of two contestants $2,500, a picture of someone …
Birds of Prey TV show episode 1: Pilot
I had been aware of this attempt at a live action adaptation of the lesser known comic that centers around a team of all female superheroes. I finally decided that it was time to finally check it out. Considering that the show only lasted a season, my …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 7
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 7 gives us the resolution to the court-martial murder trial of Lt. Glenn Matthews (Andrew Stevens). Initial joy turns to anger and hurt with the verdict. Better than the verdict for me, though, was the bit before it when Lt. Simon Adams convinced …
Stargate SG-1: Zero Hour
I’ve often felt that the powers that be at SG-1 started season eight with a few good shows and decided to use all of them, even if the timing didn’t necessarily make sense. This episode, Zero Hour, seems like it should have been the starter once Jack was …
Highway Patrol: Scared Cop TV Show
Highway Patrol: Scared Cop felt very odd to me. The story revolves around one of the members of the California Highway Patrol. He’s an officer on the force who is due for promotion, but when we first meet him, he’s making a stop of a speeding car. …
M*A*S*H: Potter’s Retirement
M*A*S*H: Potter’s Retirement is a pretty decent episode from the sixth season of this great series. In the episode, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) learns that complaints have been made about his command of the 4077th. Now in years past, that was commonplace for Potter’s predecessor, Colonel …
The Simpsons: Trilogy of Error
Today was the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “Trilogy of Error” in its entirety. And, I have to admit it is one of the better episodes in the series.
I like this episode because it is essentially several stories in one; and they manage to overlap each other …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Doomed
Well, at least we know what became of Sunnydale High School after it was blown up on graduation day; absolutely nothing. The debris were still there and so was the blown up mayor.
The episode “Doomed” was a bit boring in my opinion. You have Sunnydale being rocked by and …
Burn Notice: Good Soldier
Burn Notice: Good Soldier is an episode from season two of this spy series that I think is a little on the ridiculous side of things. Most of the time, the regulars — Michael Weston (Jeffrey Donovan), Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar), and Sam (Bruce Campbell — are covertly watching …
Jack and the Beanstalk: The True Story
I’ve never seen the mini-series Jack and the Beanstalk: The True Story until tonight, when it was broadcast in its entirety. Overall, it was a good show.
I don’t know if I like how they exploited the deceased Jim Henson by claiming it was his show. I think that was …
CSI Season 1 Episode 20 Sounds of Silence
Just as expected of this great show, it was a really fun and interesting episode. Aside from the investigation, there was some social message as well, but I felt like it didn’t really work well. I think it was a just a little bit over the top as the …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Pirates TV Show
I greatly enjoyed this 25th outing from Sea Hunt’s fourth year on the air. The show was called Underwater Pirates, but no, there aren’t pirates with peg legs or ships with skull and cross bones flags waving furiously in the air. However, there are pirates, as in salvage …
Here Come the Brides: The Man of the Family
Here Come the Brides: The Man of the Family is a really warm and tender story of Seattle’s reverend falling in love with one of the New Bedford brides, a woman named Polly (Loretta Leversee). She returns the affection, only she has a little problem that no one …
That Girl: Great Guy
I can’t say that I’m a big fan of That Girl: Great Guy. It’s a show that aired towards the end of the second season and featured Ruth Buzzi, who has a recurring role as Margie ‘Pete’ Peterson. Buzzi is a talented comedienne, but this role really …
Oz show
One of the things which I was used to hearing people talking about in my art class in high school when I was about 14 years old was the television show, Oz. At that time, since my parent didn’t pay for the movie channel package from our cable company …
Columbo: Fade in to Murder TV Show
Columbo: Fade in to Murder aired at the beginning of the sixth season. Once again, Peter Falk is back, old car and coat at his call. The main guest star is William Shatner, who plays a hit TV detective. His character name is Ward Fowler, and …
Emergency!: Dilemma
Emergency!: Dilemma began with a really cool directorial shot of the engine and squad heading for their first response of the show. It was an overhead shot that was never exactly repeated, though other similar shots were done in later years. This series employed a lot of …
House: Alone
Well, House’s original team finally left him and the episode “Alone” shows why a genius like him needs to have a group of other doctors around to bounce ideas off of. I guess staring at a board with a bunch of jumbled up information on it just isn’t enough …
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 …
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 …
