Hawthorne: Hidden Truths TV Show

Psych: Any given Friday night at 10pm, 9pm Central
If you can’t tell from the title of this episode “Any Given Friday Night at 10PM, 9PM Central” this episode of Psych is about football. Now I’m not that big of a football fan, but I am a fan and I can understand where many of these jokes come …

The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 15: Lazarus
After the previous episode left a bad taste in my mouth with it’s goofy, out of nowhere, plot twist; this episode washes said taste out with a rather magnificent episode that left me enthralled throughout the entire runtime of the episode.
After receiving an anonymous tip about an impending bank …
Devices and Desires - Part 1
Devices and Desires is from 1991, and it looks like it was shot on tape instead of film. There’s a very different look to the visual. There is some location shooting that looks very nice and pleasing to watch. In fact, it’s the outdoor, ocean side …
The Virginian: The Price of Love TV Show
The Virginian: The Price of Love was a seventh season show that aired back on February 12, 1969. It guest starred Pete Duel (who then used the Deuel spelling) as Denny Todd. This is his second appearance. In the prior season, he was an injured outlaw …
The Cleveland Show
My family has been watching the show Family Guy for some time now (at least until our 5-year-old started repeating some of the stuff she shouldn’t have and we took a break from it) so we were interested when we learned there was going to be a spin-off starring …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One: F.U.N.
Besides the episode Ripped Pants, this episode would have to be my favorite. It showcases Spongebob and Plankton getting along and Spongebob trying to have fun and teach Plankton the meaning of fun. Plankton only wanted to hang out with Spongebob just to try and get the secret formula …
MacGyver: Mask of the Wolf
MacGyver: Mask of the Wolf gives us another Jack Dalton (Bruce McGill) indulgence which I continue to hate. This time, he talks MacGyver into going after a legendary Indian wolf mask after learning about it from his friend, Two Eagles (Floyd Westerman). Their stumbling block are a …

Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 4: Planet of the Ood
The Doctor and Donna arrive on an alien planet in the 42nd Century. I think this is the first time that the relaunch has ever truly gone off world before. We’ve been to New Earth and to various spacecraft, but never to a bona fide alien world …
One Litre of Tears (Ichi Rittoru no Namida)
This japanese series used to be a big hit in japan - and when it was subbed in North America - it became even more widely known. Based on a true story of a young girl named Aya. She is an ordinary girl - except she has an incurable …
Gilligan’s Island - X Marks the Spot TV Show
This episode really impresses the fact the castaways are alone and isolated. There is the world and then the castaways. The world has no idea where they are or even know about their island, uncharted. So I also feel a bit alone while watching it. The representation of the …
Tru TV network
I am a huge fan of Crime Library. When I found out that the Crime Library had merged (or been acquired by) Tru TV, I didn’t know what to think. I tuned into the channel and watched a program which followed a crime involving arson and murder. …
MASH: Requiem for a Lightweight
I usually like watching episodes of the classic show MASH. But, the episode Requiem for a Lightweight is one I’m not a huge fan of.
This is the episode that features Trapper getting involved in a boxing match with a giant sergeant from another MASH unit in an effort to …
Dead Like Me
I’d forgotten how much I liked this show until I saw it on the DVD racks at FutureShop. I asked for the DVDs for Christmas, and I was definitely right in remembering how good this show is/was. It’s too bad that there were only two seasons, although there is …
The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Episode 1: “The Return”
When I last saw the little town of Mystic Falls Virginia last season of The Vampire Diaries, the townspeople were trying to pick up the pieces after a vampire unveiling turned sour, killing not only vampires but humans as well.
Elena Gilbert had just saved her vampire boyfriend Stefan and …
Stargate SG-1: Point of View
Season three of Stargate SG-1 gives us what feels like the annual alternate universe/reality story when the quantum mirror from episode one’s There But For the Grace of God episode is activated by another reality. Thus we get two Sam Carters in Stargate SG-1: Point of View. It …
Ghost Hunters: Fort Ticonderoga
Well, last week’s episode of Ghost Hunters at The Rock wasn’t bad. But, this week’s episode, at Fort Ticonderoga was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.
Here they have this giant fort that has a bunch of claims coming from it and the best evidence they can catch …
Schinshan
The Schinshan is the name of the TV programme, which is being telecasted in the channel called Hangama. Hangama is a kid’s channel, which is telecasting the programmes in Hindi language. All the programmes of this channel are very good and are very interesting for kids and …
Wagon Train: The Michael Malone Story
Actor Michael Parks made a huge splash in a TV series called Then Came Bronson. He was a philosophical motorcycle biker making his way around America. When I see him, that’s what I think about, even if the show I’m turning on is a classic western like …
I Eat 33,000 Calories a Day
I was really disgusted when I watched this program. I am not trying to talk badly about fat people. But these shown in this TLC show have all admitted to having food addictions. What I wonder is why no one has addressed the food addiction …

The Simpsons Show
I remember when the Simpsons used to be one of the freshest and funniest shows on television. I would watch it every week and just laugh and laugh because it was funny.
And then it got older, and stopped getting quite as fresh and funny. And now I …
Prison break season 2 episode 10-rendezvous
Prison break season 2 episode 10-rendezvous
This was a nice episode. Just as the rest of the episodes, it was thrilling and adrenaline pumping. The show is a great example of some good TV writing. This one was just a little bit funnier than the rest.
In this episode the events …

American Idol
This is a fantastic show where three judges travel around different cities choosing the best singers to go and perform in Hollywood where contestants are eliminated every show until there is only one left standing: the American Idol. The beginning of each season is always hilarious as you …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Mayhem of the music meister!
This episode is a gem. If ever there was a doubt in anyone’s mind that this show ruled, this episode eliminated it, all of it.
I mean come on, it’s a lavish superhero musical with a villain voiced by Neil Patrick freakin’ Harris. What more do …
Judge Jeanine Pirro
Today, there are a plethora of television court shows, all because of the tremendous popularity of Court TV (now Tru TV) during the infamous O.J. Simpson trial. Of course, there had been both Divorce Court and The People’s Court that had great runs, but it’s been in the …
The Twilight Zone: Death Ship TV Show
I like watching The Twilight Zone: Death Ship, though it’s not a favorite. Still, with Jack Klugman and Ross Martin in the leads, it’s good stuff. It’s also another intriguing plot surrounding death that is thought provoking, though not in terms of relaying a message, but rather, …
Two and a Half Men
This sitcom has been on for a few years now, and we enjoy both watching reruns of old episodes, and catching the new ones that air on Monday nights.
This show is about a man, Charlie (Charlie Sheen) who lives in a nice house in Malibu, right on the beach. …

The Defining Moment
The Defining Moment is a mix of boring and seriousness and at the same time, isn’t that bad to watch. I’m still watching this TV Drama, but judging by the first few episodes, a lot has to be said and I could see some ‘repeats’ of other local TV …
Angel Season 1 Episode 1- City of Angels
Angel was a beloved character on the successful TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the sexy and mysterious vampire with a soul that stole Buffy’s heart. But, since happiness is not possible for the both of them, he has to leave. Now he has his own show and the …
60 Minutes tv show
There is one part of 60 Minutes that I enjoy after all of these years, and it is Andy Rooney. His ten minute blip at the end of the show is usually far beter than the entire hour that the show airs. Andy has that comical gift …
White Collar: Threads
Well, this second episode of White Collar wasn’t too bad considering I had a few doubts after the pilot episode.
At least, in this case, which involved New York Fashion week, he actually proved why he was, at one point, a criminal mastermind and used his intelligence to help trap …
Due South: Dead Men Don’t Throw Rice
Due South: Dead Men Don’t Throw Rice was a somewhat strange episode that was still oddly fascinating. In the course of working on a case and trying to find out information on the crime and wrongdoers, Canadian Constable Benton Fraser, played by Paul Gross who is also the …
Justice League - Twilight, Part Two
Justice League - “Twilight”, Part Two unfortunately is not quite as solid as part one, in part, because of the story and the dialogue. The story begins to develop holes in it as more is revealed, especially when Darkseid tells of how he will tear down the universe and …
Highway Patrol: Hideout TV Show
Hideout, a January 1958 episode of Highway Patrol, which was the 14th episode of the third season, was an average tale of criminal activity resolved by the California Highway Patrol as headed up by Chief Dan Mathews. Played by Broderick Crawford, Mathews spends the half hour searching …
Dana Carvey: Squatting Monkey’s Tell No Lies
I’ve seen Dana Carvey on Saturday Night Live and I’ve seen him in movies like Wayne’s World but, last night, when I watched his HBO Special Squatting Monkey’s Tell No Lies, was the first time I ever saw him do stand up. And, I want to watch that routine …
All in the Family The Complete Fifth Season
The fifth season of All in the Family represents a slight shift in the way stories are told: some of the season consists of multi-part stories as opposed to single, standalone stories. Now the later seasons, particularly season eight, will be made up of even more two and three …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Forecloses TV Show
This is another favorite from season one of The Andy Griffith Show. It’s a wonderful half hour of entertainment referred to as Andy Forecloses. There’s humor and drama both, as well as a whole lot of friendly warmth. I absolutely love this half hour of comedy.
