The Carol Burnett Show: Gloria Swanson TV Show
The Carol Burnett Show with special guest star Gloria Swanson was from the seventh season of the hit comedy and variety series. Burnett called her ‘Miss Swanson’ throughout. They actually showed a clip from a past episode where Burnett plays Nora Desmond, which is supposed to be …
Law & Order SVU: Solitary
Well, I still don’t like the new ADA on Law & Order SVU, but at least the episodes are getting somewhat interesting; even though they always seem to have some sort of a downer for an ending.
Last night’s episode, Solitary, involved a former prison inmate who is accused of …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Doppelgangland
I always wondered how Willow can be such a reliable person and a doormat without going insane on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So, it was good to see an episode that featured her in Doppelgangland.
This ended up being a good episode for a number of reasons. You have Willow …
Starz
Starz is one of the premium movies that you can get. I used to have all of the movie channels and then I did away with them. When I used to have them all of them were really good. Now none of them are as good as they used …
The Twilight Zone: Two
“Two” is another episode of the television series “The Twilight Zone” which my boyfriend and I love. In fact, I think it was popular too amongst “Twilight Zone” viewers as it was a little different than many of the other “Twilight Zone” episodes as instead of focusing on mostly …
VH1’s I Want to Work for Diddy
VH1 has a new reality show called ‘I Want to Work for Diddy’. Here we go again, everybody wants to have a reality show, and this one isn’t even Diddy’s first reality program, I guess her can’t get enough of showing off to the world who he is and …
Simpsons TV Episode: Skinner’s Sense of Snow
I had the Simpsons on yesterday afternoon and, for a change, the channel wasn’t showing a repeat that I had seen several dozen times before. Instead, they had a newer episode (at least for me) called Skinner’s Sense of Snow.
This episode was a bit bizarre at times and I …
Sea Hunt: Lord Christobal TV Show
From the first season of the adventure series Sea Hunt, Lord Christobal is about a ship that had gone to the bottom after Hurricane Dora. There’s definitely a mystery involved in it, though, because a diver who had first find the ship, the Minerva, was killed. Now …
Healthy Appetite, In the Comfort Zone
I absolutely love cooking shows. I watched this one because the chef (whose name escapes me) was making peppered pork, a special kind of garlic mashed potatoes, and a puttanesca. I watched this woman chop parsley, onions, and make a dressing for a new kind of …
The Bold and the Beautiful
Now this is one day time television series that I have known to exist since I could first understand what was going on in the world and I am of the understanding that it was around long before I was born, with certain characters having played the same roles …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Dead Run
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Dead Run is another standard; no, make that, below average outing of an adventure series that just has never found its core. With Bruce Boxleitner starring as Frank Buck, big game hunter and adventure seeker, the show just doesn’t know what it wants to …
Criminal Minds
Criminal Minds has become my most favourite TV show ever. I have started watching it a few years ago and then quit. I think I wasn’t ready for it yet. It is a Drama / Thriller similar to many of the crime TV shows we see poping up lately. …
Double Divas Reality Show
Double Divas is a reality show that runs on Lifetime about two business women, Cynthia Richards and Molly Hopkins, who run a lingerie store catering to women with larger breast cups.
When I first saw the previews for this show I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but there was …

A judge, a mistress that just happens to be his law clerk, and a wife with a grudge. That all adds up to a new mystery for the detectives on Criminal Intent. It doesn’t help that the DA just happens to be a close personal friend of the judge …
Fullmetal Alchemist TV show
This may seem like your standard action genre anime show, but it has a surprising depth. Edward Elric is an alchemist prodigy who paid the price for trying to bring his dead mother back to life. He lost an arm and a leg, and his brother lost …
Project Runway TV Episode: Season 8 Premiere
Well, my wife is once again spending her Thursday nights watching Project Runway on Lifetime. This started last night with the season 8 premiere of the series. And, unfortunately, I think the series is continuing to get worse and worse every year.
First of all, the contestants this year seem …
Ghost Hunters: Mark Twain House
Since Law & Order SVU wasn’t on last night, I was able to watch the early show of Ghost Hunters as they explored the Mark Twain House in Connecticut. This turned out to be an interesting episode.
For one, they had a lot of personal experiences. Normally, I don’t count …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea ended its network run with this 26th episode of this final fourth season with a show called No Way Back. This would be the final time that viewers would see Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and my show favorite, David …
Fraggle Rock: Beginnings
I was browsing movie options at Netflix for our Netflix player and came across season 1 of the show Fraggle Rock. So, I loaded it for our oldest daughter, who is always looking for something to watch after school.
This was actually the first time I’ve seen the show too …
Jeremiah: The Bag

My Life As Liz
“My Life As Liz” is a new reality show that just premiered on MTV a couple of weeks ago. Of all the reality shows I’ve seen, this one, by far, is in a whole other stratosphere. ” My Life As Liz” is a show that a lot of past …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Burning Tree TV Show

In this episode Lisa reminds Bart that it will be her birthday and that every year he forgets, hearing this Bart vows to give her the best present ever. Meanwhile Homer is forced to wear a pink shirt to work when Bart washes his red hat in the white …
Happy Birthday Mr. Monk
One thing I’ve noticed in the final season of Monk is the cases are somewhat easy to solve but the episodes still manage to be entertaining from a comedy standpoint.
This was the case last night with Happy Birthday Mr. Monk.
The episode, of course, had Monk celebrating his (50th) birthday. …
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh is just too vaudeville and slapstick for me to enjoy very much. It’s such low quality compared to the excellency of the prior show that it’s even disappointing.
There are a couple of plots going on, neither of which held my interest. The main story centered …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 10
The Major Case division seems to deal with an awful lot of wealthy people in Manhattan and this episode is no exception. The episode starts with an older man sitting in a wheelchair. He watches as his younger wife gets dressed in a low cut dress before heading out …
Smallville 9.3: Rabid
You can’t go wrong with zombies. There’s just something about them that work, even when it’s greatly flawed. These are more of the “rage zombie” ilk as opposed to the slow walking dead. Seeing the latter would’ve been cool, but this works too.
The change is caused …
Naruto Episode 12 Subbed
For the third episode in a row there is absolutely no action or anything interesting in this episode. The first five minutes is used to establish that Haku is a boy despite looking and acting like a girl. The next fourteen minutes is spent explaining what should have been …
How to Get Away with Murder, TV show
I’m not a huge fan of Shonda Rhimes. For everyone that doesn’t know her, she is the creator of shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice and Scandal, she likes to mix her characters and give a lot of drama to their lives. I’ve seen a lot of her shows and …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: 9-15-10 TV Show
I never would have thought it in a thousand years, but I really enjoying this new cooking show that is part of the new Hallmark Channel Home block of daytime programming. It’s called Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn and its September 15, 2010 episode was its …

Favorite Water Park Travel Channel TV show
When I was younger, I used to go to water parks all the time. I loved the ones that had a raft, as the ones without generally scared me. This is because I once came down a waterslide and landed in the bottom wading pool in the …
Stargate SG-1: Space Race
Not everyone loves Stargate SG-1: Space Race as much as I do, but I just think this whole show is a hoot. I remember going into it that I thought I wouldn’t like it, that there wouldn’t be much of Jack and Daniel. It was definitely touted …
CSI Season 4 Episode 4- Invisible Evidence
CSI Season 4 Episode 4- Invisible Evidence
Great episode, filled with suspense and a very interesting turn of events in the investigation. At the end, they find that the accused man was indeed innocent, so it really makes me wonder about the justice system. Crime scene investigation may not have …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.6 - All You Need Is Love
This is a rather…awkward…episode. It actually borrows a little from one of the last season’s episodes involving romance and dating. Haim is having trouble approaching women and finding the right one - Ring a bell? Well that’s the case here… again.
It’s Valentine’s Day and while Haim is out …
That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy
That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy introduces Don’s sister, Sandy, played by Cloris Leachman. That surprised me. I hadn’t thought of Cloris as being the Hollinger type. She was quite bubbly here, playing a widow who had found a new romance with an …
Project Runway: Eye Candy
Every year, Project Runway comes up with an extraordinary challenge for its contestants. Once it was garbage, another time was plants. This year, in the episode Eye Candy, it was candy.
I was a bit disappointed that the majority of the designers used the candy wrappers rather than the candy …
Ghost Hunters: Two to Tango
I started watching season 4 of the show Ghost Hunters last night and one of the episodes, Two to Tango, was someone interesting even though they didn’t really find much.
The first case had them going to the Burlington County Prison in New Jersey with Tango’s dad William after he …
Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun (Anime)
Unpredictable, humorous, and creatively natural; this is the most underrated anime ever as it may come off a bit like a teen romantic series. But it really is a comedic delight. Usually my preferences for anime’s are a bit more on the teenage and romantic stories and at first glance …
The Simpsons Homie the Clown Season 6 Episode 15
Because of Krusty the Clown’s bad money keeping habits (like spending excessively and losing money to gambling) Krusty finds himself in debt to the local Mafia. In order to make some money, Krusty opens a clown training college, Homer sees the advertisement on a billboard (he was looking at …
The Cleveland Show
Dear God does this show stink. I didn’t understand why they green lit it in the first place. Seth McFarlane already has two shows, what good would it do to make another one.
The whole concept is flawed. A spinoff show based on Cleveland? …
Fullmetal Alchemist: brotherhood Episode 64 (Anime)
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.

How I Met Your Mother: Woooo!
“Woooo!” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on November 17, 2009, on CBS. This was a really solid episode. The actors on this show have really hit their stride as a group. It is just a level down from the chemistry …
Deal or No Deal
To be honest, I don’t really watch television game shows all that often. And, the show Deal or No Deal isn�t an obsession for me like it is for many of my co-workers. But, if I’m bored, I have no problem watching.
There are two things that are fascinating about …
