Star Trek: The Squire of Gothos TV Show
Oh my goodness, it’s Trelane! One of Star Trek’s most intriguing, mischievous, and rebellious little boys is seen in this episode called The Squire of Gothos. William Campbell played the colorful role, and in doing so was one of the best guest stars ever in the original …
News 36 KXAN
I usually watch KXAN channel 36 for my news channel. I think the anchors Robert Hadlock and Leslie Rhode are very professional and yet they give us the news in a more human manner instead of simply reading the news.
Rhode has not been on the channel until recently …
Star Trek: Voyager - Child’s Play
Star Trek: Voyager - “Child’s Play” is an episode that I like to a degree, but have certain problems with. In this episode, Voyager succeeds in locating Icheb’s parents and sets a course for the planet. Icheb is not happy to hear the news as he has come to …
M*A*S*H: Oh, How We Danced
M*A*S*H: Oh, How We Danced is the second episode that deals with one of B.J. Hunnicutt’s (Mike Farrell) wedding anniversaries. The good news is that it fits the continuity. In February 1980, they aired the show called Lend a Hand where the 4077th threw B.J. a party …

The Simpson’s: Today I am a Clown
I finally got a chance to watch the Simpson’s episode “Today I am a Clown” in its entirety yesterday and it was a halfway decent episode, though not one of the better ones I have seen.

The Cleaner: To Catch a Fed
This is another good episode to The Cleaner. It’s called To Catch a Fed. In it, William Banks is surprised to see the new truck of his dreams show up on his doorstep. It’s a gift, but it comes with a catch. The gift-giver is a …
Justice League Unlimited: Wake the Dead
This episode feels like a sequel to an episode I haven’t seen. In this episode, Solomon Grundy is brought back from the dead. Since he is a zombie I’m not entirely certain how that works, but it doesn’t matter because he’s not really very important to the episode.
Just like …

American Idol - Results 5/6/09
Paula Abdul sang her new single, I’m Here for the Music, early on in tonight’s results show for American Idol. I’m not a fan of hers really, but it was nice to see her do something besides offer nonsensical remarks about contestants. I’m just not into the …
The Best of the Danny Kaye Show DVD

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 …

Stargate SG-1: The Gamekeeper
Stargate SG-1: The Gamekeeper continues the tradition of great SG-1 episodes. This one stars the remarkable Dwight Schultz. He’s an incredible actor, and he really does a great job as the Gamekeeper. He’s worth watching all by himself.
The main plot in Stargate SG-1: The Gamekeeper is …
Calefare
I totally wish that I could really fall in love with the TV program titled, Calefare. This is a local TV program or rather a sitcom of around a half hour. It is a debut actually so when the promotional ads were on, I was like totally in …
Laramie: Edge of Evil TV Show
Alan Hale guest stars in Edge of Evil, from season four of the outstanding western TV series, Laramie. The robust Hale’s character appears jovial, but his Roger Canby persona is far from the hearty soul of the Skipper on Gilligan’s Island. However, Hale is the powerhouse of …
Reba
I recently started watching a show called Reba which has Reba Mccantire in it. It’s a really funny show and I think a lot of people could relate to it no matter what there age or gender. Everyone in the show is funny especially Van. I think mothers could …

The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 45: Egon on the Rampage
The Ghostbusters find themselves the unwilling subjects of a news expose. The fact that the two are apparently set on exposing the group as frauds doesn’t really help matters. I did like how they tried to remain impartial while only asking questions that painted the team in …
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 …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 1, Episode 14: The Fortuneteller

SuperNatural
I think the show Supernatural is the best and spookiest TV show. So far nothing has even come close to the greatness of Supernatural. I think the show has great story lines and plots. The story always flows in the show and it keeps you on the edge of …
Bleach episode 1
This was the first and possibly the most gothic out of all of the episodes. Never have I seen such a unique twist of ironic comedy and such bitter truth. Fantasy blends with truth. Truth collides with religion. This is certainly an unusual show. Ichigo, the hero of …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Pizza Delivery
Synopsis: Spongebob and Squidward are given the task of delivering the very first Krusty Krab Pizza to a customer. However, when Squidward lets Spongebob drive, they end up stranded in the middle of nowhere instead.

Have Gun - Will Travel: Twenty-Four Hours at North Fork
I find the opening scene of Twenty-Four Hours at North Fork extremely funny. Just one week after having Paladin so serious about marriage with a lady doctor, we see him back to his playboy self. It’s just hysterical because it opens up almost like a covert ops …

CSI Season 4 Episode 18- Bad to the Bone
CSI Season 4 Episode 18- Bad to the Bone
It’s quite a nice choice of words to name the episode. I bit ironic, I find. The episode itself was quite good, but I don’t think it was very interesting. I could guess some of the facts before the team did, …
That Girl: The Homewrecker and the Window Washer
From season three of That Girl, we get The Homewrecker and the Window Washer. It’s the first episode that aired in 1969, and it was okay. It’s not a huge favorite of mine personally. However, the color of the show comes from Jules Munshin, who is …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother
I must admit that Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother isn’t one of my favorite episodes of the series. It begins with Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) having a lot of close calls. He survives them all, but realizes that it’s actually intentional. There’s …
Toddlers and Tiaras show
I am shocked that women would allow their young girls to parade across television screens and stages in such adult, provocative clothing. This reality television show follows little princesses (kid beauty contestants) in their quest for crowns and cash. THe mothers on the show are not as …
M*A*S*H: Dear Dad… Three
M*A*S*H: Dear Dad… Three simply refers to this being the third episode where we get a full out letter from Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) to his father. These episodes are always so good to watch. They provide glimpses of life at the 4077th and allow a lot …

Doctor Who season 1 episode 7 The Long Game
This was one of the first episodes I really liked of this show. It was about the year 200,000 and the way the news were transmitted. They are all on a satellite and they receive news trough some kind a machine, they have some kind a chip installed …
The Office, NBC
As someone who had seen the U.K. version of the hit NBC Television show ‘The Office’ I didn’t know what to expect at first when the United States decided to do their own version of this comedy. Wondering how it would play out, I tuned in to the first …
