I came home for lunch today and the Home Improvement episode “Satellite on a Hot Tim’s Roof” was on. And, it is great.
There are two storylines going on in this episode and the writers managed to pull off both without taking away from either of them.
First, Tim gets a new …

Ok, I will admit it, while one of the stupidest Spongebob Squarepants epiosodes I’ve ever seen, the episode “Frankendoodle” is actually quite funny; in fact, it might be one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen in a while.
I’m still a bit confused about why a pencil lost by an …

Some episodes of Sponge Bob Squarepants are OK. Others are just downright gross.
The episode “To Love a Patty” falls into the latter category.
First, this is one of the stupidest episodes out there; and that’s of any show, not just this one. Spongebob makes a crabby patty that is so …

The Jerry Springer Show is one type of a reality show about every day people and their lives. They seem to cater to the lowest scum of our society which are normally the trailer park trash. I guess they have a large following because they have been on the …

Written by Karen Hall, M*A*S*H: Picture This is just about pure comedy. There’s not really any drama to it, which is unusual since the show loves to examine more serious issues along with giving up its humor.
The opening bit has Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) wondering what to …

Mary Morris plays Matilda in The Ray Bradbury Theater: There Was an Old Woman. She has a visitor who just sits there and listens as she talks and talks, telling him some story about a little girl named Emily. As I listened, I wonder if this was …

When most people think of shows that are on the American public broadcasting station, they think of cartoons like “Arthur” and Clifford.” Most adults do not realize that there are a lot of helpful programs for them on there as well and this one is a great example. …

I love the beginning of Sea Hunt: Flooded Mine because it starts out lightheartedly with diving expert Mike Nelson playing with a sea lion. We see the creature doing somersaults and just being a load of fun. That’s the reason for watching this series in my opinion, …

I said in my review for this show that the adventure series has lost some of its shine from its first ten episodes or so, and that’s really true. There’s a stretch of a few shows here, all in a row, that are just so-so. This is …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 8 begins with one of Kusanagi’s friends; Kurutan calls her to help her with the mysterious circumstances of a heart transplant for a six year old girl. Section 9 investigates it because it has ties to the black market.
This episode was …

Ponch has just finished restoring that burnt out car that he bought earlier in the season in CHiPs: Down Time. He’s so thrilled with it, but naturally, something is bound to happen, and it does. First, the vehicle promptly gets stolen by a trio of females, including …

What a horrible way to go out. The legendary Star Trek series ended its three year run on NBC on June 3, 1969 with a show called Turnabout Intruder. In this show, one of Kirk’s old flames wants revenge for him leaving her, so she actually uses …

For some reason, I like this season six episode more than the other ones before it so far. Maybe it’s the intrigue of the White Rock Research Station in Antarctica. That’s a new one for the team, and it’s kind of interesting.
I like the Ayiana character, a …

The Story of the Toad is the 6th episode of the first season of Upright Citizens Brigade. Many of their episodes try to cover a certain theme: for this episode, that theme was relationships. It takes place on Valentine’s Day, and we can see the UCB members …

Together: The Hendrick Motorsports Story is a wonderful tribute to NASCAR team owner, Rick Hendrick, who is celebrating his 25th year in the sport. Hendrick has a team of winners, including the four-time champion who put him on the map, Jeff Gordon. It hasn’t been a world …

While you can’t call Final Destination a classic horror, when it first arrived on our screens it provided us with a relatively fresh and engaging concept that broke a repetitive streak in teen horror and now, three sequels later, probably stands as the best of the series.
It’s a high …

I had our youngest daughter to myself over the weekend while my wife and oldest daughter went out birthday shopping for me. Since I didn’t have a lot I could do while watching her, I ended up watching a movie on the Fox Movie Network.
The film I ended up …

I honestly didn’t think I was going to be able to take the Daleks seriously. As such, I had mixed feelings going into this, but man alive, this episode proved me wrong on so many levels. Who would’ve thought that a goofy looking robot whose soul purpose …

From March 1961, Sea Hunt: Amigo was an interesting episode that I liked but have an issue with as far as the plot goes. Deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) takes a job in San Carlos, Mexico to help extract fossils from a seemingly very difficult …

I was not expecting Matt and Trey to touching on the Coon’s story again, but it was a pleasant surprise. I thought it was a funny story to begin with, so having the Coon return was interesting. I am always seem to be …

Synopsis: After Spongebob fails his driving exam yet another time, Mrs. Puff decides she can’t handle it any more and gives him an easy way to get his driver’s license; only to regret it when she learns his parents are giving him a boatmobile.What I liked about this episode: …

I don’t really remember watching this show, Columbo: Last Salute to the Commodore, but I’m sure I did. It’s just fallen out of my brain, and I believe the reason for that is that it’s quite possibly the worst episode of Columbo ever. It’s dull, not just …

Centennial was an awesome, all-star mini-series that celebrates the land. That’s an oversimplification, but the epic begins with mountain men daring to enter Native American territory. We see pioneers settle in what becomes known as Colorado, and we go all the way to modern day. It’s …

“I Want a Boyfriend: The Luxury Cruise Ship Is a Trap” is the twelfth episode of the Sailor Moon series. In this story, it is not Jadeite, but one Queen Beryl’s monsters, that comes up with a plan to steal human energy, and she proposes it to Jadeite. The …

My Generation: Home Movies is the second outing for this new drama which follows 9 high school graduates, ten years later. It’s a ‘where are they now’ pseudo documentary drama, which is somewhat unique in concept. I suppose it’s a way of trying to capitalize on the …

From season two, The Man Who Lost was the 31st episode of the year. Can you imagine that? The 31st, and it wasn’t the last one! The series was Have Gun - Will Travel, starring Richard Boone as the intellectual gunfighter for hire, Paladin. Whatever …

It was kind of strange watching a House episode without character James Wilson having at least a small part in it; as was the case with the episode Adverse Events. I certainly hope they aren’t writing him off the show completely and he’ll be back soon. It’s just not …

For some time, there was a big debate about who was the better Monk assistant, Sharona Fleming or Natalie Teeger. That’s easy to answer; Natalie.
The thing I like about Natalie as his assistant is the fact she isn’t afraid to stand up to him and make him confront his …

“Jurisdiction” is one of the better episodes of Season 7. Diane Neal of “Law And Order SVU” played Abigail Borin, a CGIS agent who was very much like Gibbs. Yes, she does the infamous ‘Gibbs slap’. Yes, she does not believe in coincidences. Yes, she …

I have to start with the fact that I don’t even own a TV. As it happens my husband early in his life decided it was a menace to his freedom of thought and time. So when we moved in together we simply agreed we wouldn’t own one. However …

I watched last night’s episode of Project Runway, Around the World in Two Days and was somewhat impressed with the level of competition that is starting to show now that he contest has been narrowed down to only a few designers.
For the most part, I think this episode proved …

Good Luck Charlie is Disney’s recent television show, and it’s a lot different from their other ones. For example, in this show, no one is famous. No one lives on a ship, and nobody can see the future. That’s what I like about this. Good Luck Charlie follows a …

Well, I have to say, the second episode of Hogan’s Heroes I watched at lunch today wasn’t as good as I was expecting it to be.
I think this might have been an earlier episode because they seemed to still be focused in helping other POWs escape and there isn’t …

I don’t know exactly when the Wanda Sykes show went off the air. I think it was actually some time in 2003. But I have caught a few episodes on TV One. I knew that Wanda had quite the sense of humor. …

Eric the evil midget is a daily call in guest of the Howard Stern show, on Sirius satelite radio. Eric is a hilariously funny wack packer. No Eric is not really all that funny, but his interaction with Howard stern, Robin Quivers and Artie Lang is hilariously funny.
Eric is …

The second episode of CHiPs about California Highway Patrol officers is called Undertow. One of the first things that happens is that Ponch is unknowingly affected by breathing in a bunch of nitrous oxide that leaks after a traffic accident. This makes him see double and become …

After an amazing second episode, the third instalment in the sixth season of the popular crime drama “The Closer” was perhaps nothing to write home about, but still provided some quality drama. The case concerning a custody battle, in which a cancer-ridden father engaged with a drug addict mother, …

Highway Patrol: Nitro is in my mind one of the worst outings for this series, but let me start with a humorous part of it.
The funniest thing about this show was a couple of lines between two men who are transporting nitroglycerin. The one man tells the other …

It’s funny how we change as we age. As a young girl, I wanted nothing to do with The Lawrence Welk Show. I recall giving my mother and grandmother such grief over watching it. As I’ve aged, though, I like it more and more. …

Diagnosis Murder: The Last Laugh: Part 1 is a very memorable episode, or rather both hours are. I’ve always recalled this one. One of the reasons is that it guest stars Dyan Cannon, and she is fabulous in this murder mystery. Her Bonnie Valin character is …

Last summer I discovered “The Tyra Banks Show”, and currently, it is the only daytime talk show I would anticipate, sit and watch. It is hosted by the former very popular African American supermodel Tyra Banks, who also for some time in the past helped host “The Oprah Winfrey …

Kudos to “Jumong”, a Korean telenovea running in Philippine local TV daily from Monday to Friday at prime time. I was not curious to anticipate the program when it was first launched its premier telecast a year ago since it will will be run at the late hour …

Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 5 is the big wrap up to this P.D. James murder mystery. We get lots of answers and more suspense. This is a much better conclusion than what I’ve seen in some of the other television adaptations of James’ novels.
I must …

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 …

This show opens with more education dealing with a phrase that says someone is worth their salt. Salary comes from the word salt. This was Ec’co’s lesson to Draga that started Stargate: Infinity: Greed. We get a lot of these little words of wisdom and messages …

Don Knotts once again gets to have some great moments in this fourth season episode of the comedy classic, The Andy Griffith Show. In Barney’s Sidecar, which was shown on TV initially in January 1964, Knotts’ Deputy Barney Fife character gets all riled up about the speeders on …

That is a good example for a well written episode and many people would agree with it. In this episode the BAU team travels to New York to help solve a case of a serial killer who does not go after the same type of victim. It is unusual for …

Every kid in America had to feel for Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) in this episode of The Andy Griffith Show. It’s their hope and their nightmare both. The show, Opie’s Ill-Gotten Gain, from November 1963 begins innocently enough with Opie attempting to do his math homework, only …

Mike & Molly: First Date is the second episode of this comedy series that just began in September 2010. I’m not a big fan of today’s comedy crops, but this one showed a hint of promise, so I decided to watch. The show centers on two overweight …
