Absolutely Fabulous
This is a weird show for me. On the one hand I like it but on the other there are so many things wrong with it I feel a little silly for liking it. Absolutely Fabulous is an English show and that means all it’s humor is …
The Wendy Williams Television Talk Show
In a time when everyone from D-list celebrities to former supermodels has their own television talk shows, I find “The Wendy Williams Show” to be extremely refreshing. Every aspect of the show is fabulous- from its larger than life host Wendy Williams to the outrageous and super flamboyant …
Channel V2
Channel V is a station shown on Pay Television. They play the latest music all day and all night. There are all sorts of different countdowns to the show. The only bad thing I would complain probably has to play the same songs over and over again during the …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Lovers Walk
It’s amazing how one episode on an on-going series could change the relationships of pretty much every character on the show.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Lover’s Walk” is one of those episodes.
This episode shows us the return of Spike, only this time he’s without his lover Drusilla because …
Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse
I got a chance to watch the new Monk episode Friday night “Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse.” It was somewhat interesting and pretty entertaining.
The case itself was a little too easy to solve. You have a bunch of people dying by mysterious means and each of them has …
The Choir Revisited TV Show
This show takes a look back at the choir that Gareth Malone developed and trained from students of Northolt High School and actually made them successful enough to compete in a world competition in China. They didn’t make it through to the second round there, but they performed, …
M*A*S*H: Hey, Doc
M*A*S*H: Hey, Doc is best remembered for the closing segments of the show which for me is the one real reason for staying tuned to this half-hour program. Not every show can be stellar all the way through, and this one has a couple of little gaps in …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The High Ground
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The High Ground is an exciting and thought-provoking episode that successfully looks at freedom fighters / terrorists. The people themselves that are attempting to bring about change through violence because they believe it is the only way the government will recognize them identify …
The Virginian: Silver Image TV Show
The second episode of The Virginian’s seventh season on the air from September 1968 was called Silver Image, and it was far better than I thought it was going to be. The show surrounded a widow of a rancher in Medicine Bow who was in the middle of …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 2: KillerWatt
Now this is how you make a Ghostbusters episode! No ridiculous comic relief that doesn’t work, but a crisis that tests the Ghostbusters’ abilities and an opponent who forces them to think outside the box.
The opening scene establishes the threat as a city worker is seemingly attacked …
Fame: The Complete First Season DVD Set
Fame aired 16 episodes in its first season on NBC back in 1982. The story is about students at New York City’s School of Performing Arts and stars Debbie Allen, Albert Hague, Erica Gimpel, Valerie Landsburg, Gene Anthony Ray, and several others.
This is a four disk set, two …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Last Chance Louie
I like seeing Roddy McDowall getting some meat to his part and that’s exactly what happens in Tales of the Gold Monkey: Last Chance Louie. McDowall was a great actor, and while he loved to act and took on all kinds of roles that some might question, he …
Throw Down with Bobby Flay
You know, I really don’t spend a great deal of time watching the Food Network on cable. But, after watching the show, Throw Down with Bobby Flay, I think I might find myself watching more often.
For those of you who haven’t seen the show, Flay is supposedly a famous …

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 64 is the last and final episode of the anime. The story comes to a close as Roy Mustang is visited by Dr. Knox and Dr. Marcoh. Meanwhile, Ed and Al return to Risembol to Winry’s house.
This was the best conclusion to an …
M*A*S*H: Follies of the Living - Concerns of the Dead
M*A*S*H: Follies of the Living - Concerns of the Dead is one of the episodes I’ve always remembered. Corporal Max Klinger (Jamie Farr) is sick and delirious. In his delirium, he sees Private Jimmy Weston, only Weston has just died. Still, Klinger is able to talk …
Top Gear on BBC America
Would you rather win the lottery, or be given a job as host of Top Gear? For me, I’d take the job. I haven’t seen the American version of the show on the History channel yet, but the British version of Top Gear has to be the best thing …
The Cosby Show
I can remember faithfully watching The Cosby Show every Thursday night on NBC when I was little. I always loved it although I was too little to have much of a memory of the show. Now I watch the show every Monday through Friday at 10 and 10:30 in …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 4: The Time of Angels
This episode features the return of not only River Song, but the Weeping Angels, the nightmare fuel inducing monsters from “Blink”. It makes for quite a few continuity nods, which are always fun. Interestingly enough, not only are there nods to previous episodes, but there is quite …
Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar TV Show
Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) falls in love in Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar. He’s completely smitten with Lt. Mira Romaine (Jan Shutan). We know it’s a doomed romance. They never do well, not even if you get married. After all, Spock got divorced, Kirk’s …
Simpsons - Loan-A-Lisa
This is one of the episodes that I can honestly say Lisa is not completely and totally annoying. She actually does a good thing for someone else and that is always worth talking about. Giving money to someone who is in need or wants to start a business but …
Dexter
I discovered Dexter the television series when I was in the United States for training when my officemate cajoled me into watching it with her. I was a bit curious when she told me that this was about a serial killer of serial killers. And so I sat down …
Meg Ryan on Ellen Talk Show Episode
Did you manage to catch Meg Ryan on Ellen Talk Show Episode? Super awesome and Meg was all classy and gorgeous with her nice blonde hair, perky nose, expressive eyes and nice and gorgeous smile despite her age. She will always be one of my most favorite actresses …

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 12: The Serpent’s Pass
After Aang’s latest trip into the Avatar state, he becomes worried about the lack of control and decides to abandon all emotion. It starts off rather subtle, but becomes more obvious as the episode progresses, until he flat out explains the reasons for his detachment.
Katara is naturally …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 17: End Game
Picking up on the cliffhanger from the previous episode, this takes all the momentum gained from its predecessor and manages to keep moving at a brisk pace. It manages to tie up all the loose ends and manages to up the scale of the show.
This episode had a …
The X-Files Improbable Episode
I first saw this episode of the popular 1990s television series “The X-Files” one night on the cable television channel Sci-Fi. At first I didn’t get to watch all of it since I had only gotten to see the last part of it, however I thought it looked interesting …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Angie Dickinson TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast roasted the Woman of the Hour, Angie Dickinson, in this show taped in front of an audience in Las Vegas. Dickinson had one of the better dais groupings of the show. She looked beautiful, of course. She truly has been a …
The Big C (tv series)
“The Big C” was one of those few television series that I was fortunate enough to start watching when it first premiered on television back when I still had Showtime. It was a bit unusual in comparison to the television series I would tend to watch especially at that …
Stargate SG1: Scorched Earth
This episode, the 9th out of season 4, provided viewers with a social dilemma, one of many that Stargate writers would provide. Two remnants of civilizations past, both peaceful people, looking for a new home and settling on the same planet. The problem? The Encarons were …
MASH - Season 8
The show really started to take a turn for the worst in this season, starting with the departure of long-time main stay Radar. At least they made a point of writing him off the show, unlike what they did with Trapper John earlier in the series, but after his …
Top Shot - The Long Shot TV Show
I never thought I’d watch a TV show that focused on guns, be it rifles or handguns, but Top Shot is a new reality competition show and I’ve become a bit intrigued by the contestants and their challenges.
Top Shot is hosted by Survivor contestant, Colby Donaldson. I always …
Dirty Sexy Money
Dirty Sexy Money is all about money. Yes, there are so many TV shows and movies about money because I think people are just obsessed with money and power in general.
I must say that I cannot find a rapport with this TV drama, I’m not sure why. Sure …
The Lifestyle Channel
Not only is this a great channel that Foxtel Australia have, but it’s also available on timeshift so if you miss a program you can see it 2 hours later - fantastic. There are so many programs I like on this channel, the City Gardener who transforms …
CSI S7 E10
CSI Season 7 Episode 10- Loco Motives
I found it to be a very interesting episode. It was a bit different from the usual formula. To begin with, it presented the team with 3 different murders to solve, which seemed a bit overwhelming. But then used different methods to presents …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: No Way Out TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: No Way Out, show number twelve, has a teaser that bores me, and that’s not a good sign. It’s another foreign intrigue affair, which oftentimes makes me yawn. However, it picked up after the theme and opening credits. Following …
The Walking Dead (2010 TV)
I came across this TV show called The Walking Dead from AMC a few days ago and I just had to check it out. I mean, who doesn’t love zombies. I have been a long time fan of the Resident Evil which in my mind is the most comparable …
True Blood on HBO
I just started watching the hit show True Blood from HBO and so far it has been a fun ride. If blood and really explicit sexual scenes don’t make you squeemish or you enjoy that than this show is for you.
The characters are easy to digest and the story …
Designing the Final Frontier featurette
This production piece called Designing the Final Frontier was another very intriguing look inside the world of Star Trek. It focused on the design elements, of course. Matt Jeffries is interviewed in late 2002. A few things stuck out in my mind.
One was the naming of …
CHiPs: Dog Gone
I do get a kick out of this Dog Gone episode of CHiPs. Dog Gone is the third episode and as the title indicates, there’s a dog at the core of it all. It starts out with this adorable pooch wreaking havoc on the highway. Jon …
Mr. Monk Stays in Bed
I was bored yesterday so I ended up watching a re-run of the show Monk “Mr. Monk Stays in Bed.”
Compared to some of the episodes that have been on lately, this one was actually a breath of fresh air because it turned out to be fantastic.
Monk, who we all …
Tom and Jerry: - ep: Salt Water Tabby
I don’t think Tom and jerry would ever get old and with so many episodes depicting different backgrounds yet keeping the classic chase. They did wonderfully. One of these episodes which features a different background from the usual house or back yard is called Salt Water Tabby.
The Salt Water …
Blacke’s Magic: Knave of Diamonds, Ace of Hearts
Things go a little crazy for the magician turned police consultant when Alexander Blacke is accused of murder and the theft of millions in Blacke’s Magic: Knave of Diamonds, Ace of Hearts. Best known as Barney Miller, Hal Linden plays Blacke like a velvet glove. He’s very …

Surviving Sharks is a show on the Discovery Channel in which a host does tests with sharks to determine how best to avoid being attacked or eaten by a shark when swimming or surfing. It started with tests to determine whether different types of sharks were more active feeders …
That Girl: My Part Belongs to Daddy
The most disappointing thing about season four’s That Girl: My Part Belongs to Daddy is that for just about the first time, or maybe just the second, they used an interior car scene that was clearly done on the stage. In the past, they’ve done more location shoots …
Rock of Love Charm School TV Series
One of the VH1 reality series I am currently hooked on is the television series “Rock of Love Charm School” hosted by the crowned King of Heavy Metal’s wife, Sharon Osbourne. If you have ever watched the series “Rock of Love” and “Rock of Love 2″ where lots of …
The Young Rebels: Stalemate TV Show
Stalemate is another good episode of the 1970 drama, The Young Rebels, which starred a magnificent young cast which included Rick Ely, Louis Gossett Jr., and Phillippe Forquet. Hilary Thompson is also on board, playing Ely’s girlfriend on the show.
I enjoy this show because it’s a theme that, …
Teen Mom (MTV)
There was a time when teenaged girls were scolded for getting themselves “in trouble.” But for some reason now, people think it’s ok to showcase these young girls. Young black women have been raising kids at an early age for many years. There has always been …
Dexter Season 6 Episode 2
Episode 2 of season 6 of Dexter ” Once Upon a Time” is another great episode of Dexter. The new season of Dexter has taken our friendly neighborhood serial killer on a different path than the previous ones. No longer stumbling around and trying to figure out the intricacies …
