TV Reviews
Stargate SG-1: The Pegasus Project
Stargate SG-1: The Pegasus Project is the best show of season ten and my rating is going to pretend that the Vala character doesn’t exist. Any time she shows up, it drags the show down to a zero, so when I can, I’m going to ignore her, and …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Death Clock TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Death Clock was the 25th episode to air in the show’s last season on the air. It begins with a crisis where Captain Lee Crane has to shut down the reactor and takes in a large amount of dangerous rays. …
America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 Episode 2
The episode start with the candidates being ushered to their new home. It was a penthouse was along the main streets of New York. The apartment was very chic and modern. It had lots of humongous portraits of past winners. Jay Manuel and Jay Alexander took the candidates …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit (Bad Blood) Episode
I thought this episode of Law and Order SVU was a little bit more than interesting. It was also educational in my eyes, as before watching it, I was not aware that some psychiatrists thought that sometimes bad behaviour and qualities were genetic. Nevertheless, despite watching the episode which …
The Wonder Years
The Wonder Years :
Kevin Arnold is graduating from his adolescent and is on verge of becoming an adult. He got a strict father, a homely mother , a sis, and a big bro. Each episode of The Wonder Years narrates an interesting anecdote that happens in his …
The Dick Cavett Show - 2/21/73 TV Show
From February 21, 1973, this episode of The Dick Cavett Show featured Jack Benny, Bill Cosby, and Joe Frazier. It began with the usual monologue, which quickly reminds me why Cavett didn’t make it long run. He’s too dry, which fits his more serious and political style. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Wager
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Wager is a second season episode from this half-hour series that starred Richard Boone as the gunfighter, Paladin. Though the performers are very good, I actually didn’t enjoy this episode very much, and there’s one big reason for that. Overacting.
Boone is …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.8: Bombad Jedi
Well, well, if it isn’t Jar Jar Binks. Yeah, being that this is an animated cartoon series, you had to guess it was only a matter of time that he would make an appearance sooner or later. But don’t worry, this episode actually pokes fun at his clumsiness and …
South Park- Spontaneous Combustion (S3E2)
In this season 3 episode of South Park, Kenny spontaneously combusts. When it starts to happen to others, the town goes into a panic and appoints Stan’s dad, Randy Marsh, to find out why. Meanwhile the boys have overheard that Kyle’s dad can’t have an erection so they set …
Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 1
Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 1 is another one of those shows that I have a lot of conflicting feelings about. In fact, that’s the case with all of the remaining season eight episodes. It’s a storyline that I don’t believe in and didn’t enjoy, although there are …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.2 - Lost Boys
While Corey Haim is busy promoting the 20th anniversary of the film that launched them to stardom, “The Lost Boys”, Feldman would rather concentrate on his wife’s photo shoot with Stuff Magazine. It’s a very messed up and embarrassing situation where Haim shows up alone at a radio interview …
Columbo: Publish or Perish TV Show
One word for Columbo: Publish or Perish: yuck. I have never liked this episode of the series. Honestly, I don’t dislike Jack Cassidy, but he annoys me as a murderous villain. He did multiple episodes of Columbo over the years, and I don’t think I liked …
The Twilight Zone: The Lateness of the Hour TV Show
There’s so much that is so weird about The Twilight Zone: The Lateness of the Hour that I barely know where to start. The opening is just disturbingly odd. The massage on the mother is really over the top. In fact, I don’t even want to …
That Girl: Mission Improbable Part 2
That Girl: Mission Improbable Part 2 begins with the usual review of things that happened in the prior week’s opening episode where actress Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) agrees to spy on a sleep wear manufacturer’s competitor. She goes to work as a seamstress for the competitor, though she …
Eli Stone series
I really enjoy this series because it is a well thought out manner of basing a show on the act of doing good deeds for others without seeking a reward. The lead actor playing Eli Stone is very capable of carrying a series. I can believe that …
Lost the Final Chapter: Premier episode
This is the first episode of season 6 which is also the last season for the show. I waited so long to see this episode but sadly it disappointed. In this episode, everything is revealed as to what really is happening on the island. All the questions are answered …
Vizio M260VA 26″ RAZOR LED LCD HDTV
The Visio M260VA is our first flat-screen TV. We got the 26 inch so it will fit inside our TV stand (the stand is solid wood, looks beautiful, and holds many movies along with several glass figurines which is why we wanted to keep the old TV stand with …
Code Geass Episode 3 (Anime)
Code Geass Episode 3 begins with Lelouch confronting Clovis about his brother’s murder and killing him. Afterwards he investigates Kallen, the girl he saw the terrorists in Shinjuku.
This was a pretty good episode as it developed Kallen’s character and gave Lelouch a chance to use his powers more, …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Code of Honor
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Code of Honor is an episode that puzzles me. I do not know if the writers of the episode were deliberately trying to be racist or if they were driving at something else, but the way the episode is scripted makes me wonder. …
ABC’s 25 Days of Christmas
Perhaps I’m going crazy, but at the beginning of December I remember seeing ABC advertising like crazy how they were going to be having Christmas shows every day of the month until Christmas. And then, after the first couple of days I keep watching them every day for …
House: Here Kitty
Well, the television series House seems to finally be getting back to interesting plots. I still wouldn’t put the more recent episodes in the same class as earlier ones but tonight’s episode “Here Kitty” managed to be kind of cute while making you think.
House has a patient come into …
Family Guy TV Episode: The Kiss Seen Around the World
Well, that was an OK episode of Family Guy last night, but not one I was overly impressed with either.
In The Kiss Seen Around the World, Meg develops a crush on the local TV anchorman and accepts an unpaid internship just to get close to him. However, while there, …
Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 1
The eight season of Stargate SG-1 brings about a couple of changes, the most notable of which is that Don S. Davis is no longer on the show as General Hammond. What’s more, we don’t even get a goodbye scene, just a mention that he’s accepted a new …
Emergency!: Nurses’ Wild
Emergency!: Nurses’ Wild has some really wonderful moments in it, both on the humor front and the dramatic stage. This first season show confronts prejudice, of different styles. One story has Dr. Morgan (Ron Pinkard), who is an African-American, making a judgement on a hippie having a …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Sanctuary TV Show
I love the opening of The Sanctuary, which is the 33rd episode of the sixth and final season of Have Gun - Will Travel. There’s a rather smug man named Captain Zimmerman who is playing a round of chess with several men at the same time. He’s …
Sex and the City
The television series Sex and The City is a half hour comedy that once aired on HBO.
Firstly the series no longer screens so if you want to check it out you will have to either wait for reruns on television or check out the DVD.
I like Sex and the …
Gilligan’s Island: Where There’s a Will
I was watching an episode of Gilligan’s Island the other day, Where There’s a Will, that proved to be pretty funny.
Mr. Howell decides to re-write his will to include each of the castaways. Shortly after, things begin to happen to make him think they are all trying to kill …
War and Remembrance: Director’s Commentary featurette
On the DVD for War and Remembrance, Producer/Director/Writer Dan Curtis did commentary for selected scenes. With 30 hours of footage, it’s understandable why he didn’t do a full commentary. Instead, as a bonus feature really, Curtis talks over several scenes that are clipped together into this featurette …
Best Evidence Caught on Tape: Ghosts (2008)
Best Evidence Caught on Tape: Ghosts is an hour long 2008 documentary which examines many examples of footage which purportedly has captured an image of a ghost. Giving their commentaries and opinions are various experts in the paranormal who are sympathetic to the idea of ghosts and the …
Sex Revolution on VH-1
Sex: Revolution was a five part series airing on VH-1 that detailed the history of the sexual revolution in the United States starting in the 1950’s. I’m not exactly sure when the series first aired because I never heard of it before, but when they showed all five episodes …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The eyes of Despero
This is one of the highlights of the series. It has that perfect blend of light hearted humor, silver age wackiness, and serious superheroism that makes any hero story worthwhile.
The galactic menace Despero seeks to take control of the corps and it’s up to Batman, Guy Gardner, G’nort, …
Stargate SG-1: Ex Deux Machina
Stargate SG-1: Ex Deux Machina was a weird sort of season nine entry for the science fiction series. In fact, the ending is one of those things that people would ward off as being science fiction, so I guess in the end, it makes a weird sort of …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Mayberry Band TV Show
Music is at the center of the action in The Andy Griffith Show: The Mayberry Band, a third season episode that has a few good laughs in it. It’s all about the town band, which isn’t much to the ears at all. In fact, the new mayor, …
Ashes to Ashes
There’s a TV series that has been taking the UK by storm and, if you live outside the UK, it’s quite possible that the BBC will export it to your country. It’s called Ashes to ashes and is a sequel to the series Life on Mars.
The story in both …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Duel at Florence
To me, the plot behind Have Gun - Will Travel: Duel at Florence is dang silliness, not that it doesn’t exist, even today, but it sure does point out how self-involved people can be. At the center of the whirlwind is a young woman who has three suitors. …
Sea Hunt: Proof of Guilt TV Show
Sea Hunt: Proof of Guilt is one of the latter episode’s of the underwater adventure series’ second season on television. I actually thought it was pretty intriguing as well. The basic idea behind the half hour show is that diving expert Mike Nelson, as played by Lloyd …
Family Guy: Business Guy
Even though we rarely watch new episodes of Family Guy (we usually want to screen them before our daughter sees them), my wife wanted to watch last night’s episode because Hugh Laurie guest starred in a spoof of his well-known Gregory House character; a person who doesn’t play by …
Supernatural Season 4 Episode 3
Sam is upto something mysterious, while Dean is sent back to the time is dad was dating his mom. It turns out that the yellow eyed demon starts selecting kids from that time. Dean gets to meet his mom’s parents. It turns out his grandfather was a hunter too. …
Monk: Mr. Monk is Someone Else
Another last season of Monk episode and, I hate to say it, another disappointing one.
This one followed a plot that has been done way too many times before. You have Monk being the exact look-a-like for a professional hit man and he is asked to impersonate the hit man …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Big House TV Show
From May 1963, The Andy Griffith Show: The Big House is the final episode of the third season, and it’s a pretty good one. It focuses on Andy, Barney, and Gomer, and that means one thing: good comedy.
The basic story has a couple of robbers being captured by …
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 3
Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) is searching for the killer of two women. The first, Heather Pearce, was poisoned during a training session for the nurses. The second, Jo Fallon, was poisoned in her bed. Fallon was pregnant, adding all kinds of drama to the …
Gilligan’s Island - So Sorry, My Island Now TV Show
This episode was ok to watch. It delves yet again into the history in the Gilligan’s Island world with the arrival of a lost Japanese sailor. So we get a glimpse of yet again more history which in turn broadens our view a little more. I was not impressed …
The Flash TV Season 2, Episode 14: Escape from Earth 2
Recap: Barry becomes Zoom’s prisoner leading Cisco and Wells to mount up a rescue with the help from an unlikely resource, Killer Frost.
Aaron Helbing and Todd Helbing provided the story for this second half of the two-parter. This episode was one of my favorites from them, along with their past …
Design Star
I’ve watched this show ever since it started three years ago. My husband even gets into it when he’s home to watch. It’s cool to see what each designer does with the rooms they are given.
They start the show with 10 or 12 designers and one is voted …
Naruto Episode 2 Subbed
The second episode of Naruto is a far cry from the first, but it still seems to draw the viewer into the show. Taking a pure comedic, and slightly adult-oriented, standpoint on the show, this episode follows Naruto’s first day as a ninja where he uses the ‘Sexy Technique’, …
Monk TV show
Monk is a whodunit detective show with a comedic twist and a little light drama all bundled up as an Emmy hit. Tony Shalhoub plays the title character Adrian Monk to perfection.
Adrian Monk is a former San Francisco Police Detective who was decommissioned after his wife was …
Alias Season 1 Episode 1 - Truth Be Told
Until my recent rewatch, I forgot how well this pilot set up all of the conflicting forces in Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner)’s life — SD-6 versus the CIA; her father versus her independence; her graduate studies in literature versus her work as a spy; and her personal life versus …
A Certain Justice - Part 2
A Certain Justice - Part 2 was a bit slower for me than part 1 was. This story is from the P.D. James novel and uses the familiar character of Commander Adam Dalgliesh. As an American, I assume commander is a detective. That seemed to be …
