Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 13
Now as the moment has come for the sync tests of the Evangelion pilots, as it happens every week with Nerv, except this test is going to be a little different than what they originally expected. While this test with all of the teenage pilots naked may be one …
Star Trek: Whom Gods Destroy TV Show
I repeat: Starfleet needs a better screen process for its captains. In the past three years, we’ve seen some really bad ones. In Star Trek: Whom Gods Destroy, we get to meet another one. At least this guy isn’t a current captain. Actually, this guy …
Trapped - CBBC Childrens T.V Show
I had been introduced to the game Trapped when Jake found it on the CBBC Games website . It was great when he was channel hopping and found the t.v show on CBBC. I presume that it was the t.v show that came first, then converted into the computer …
Frosty the Snowman
It’s almost Christmas and there are plenty of Christmas specials on the air right now. Last night, one of the TV stations aired the half hour long special Frosty the Snowman and we decided to let our daughter watch it.
I have seen that special a couple different times but …
M*A*S*H: Der Tag
Most of M*A*S*H: Der Tag is focused on Frank Burns (Larry Linville) flipping out because his lover, Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) is in Tokyo. Even worse, she’s talking about some male physical therapist’s with some lust in her voice. It’s enough to send Frank over the edge, …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Challenges TV show
For the third episode of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, two of the younger McFadden siblings get their chances to be in the dramatic spotlight. Specifically, Challenges deals with Evan wanting to learn from the best bronco buster in the business while Ford struggles with asking a girl …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Descent, Part Two
The only reason I prefer Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Descent”, Part Two over part one is mainly because part two has more action. The story still makes very little sense, but at least there is some action to the story. The action I am referring to takes …
M*A*S*H: The Yalu Brick Road
First in acted in this hit show, then he directed an episode, and now Mike Farrell adds writing to his belt with M*A*S*H: The Yalu Brick Road. Airing a third of the way through the eighth season, the show has a lot of comical elements to it.
Being the …
New Girl ,’A Chill Day in’, TV show
As I wrote my review of the episode Road Trip I really feel the need to write my review of episode ‘A chill day in’. These two episodes are a long way from the episodes we got used to watching in these last two seasons which are sometimes good but …
Mr. Monk and the Badge
Wow, talk about a seriously predictable episode of Monk. Mr. Monk and the Badge could have been one of the better ones but it was one of those episodes that really is meant to provide closure to something without putting a whole lot of effort into it.
Basically, Monk finally …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - Fear of a Krabby Patty

Fashion Star is somewhat similar to Project Runway. The show is about giving unknown fashion designers the chance to show their clothes to the world, and the twist to this show is instead of winning a huge prize at the end like Project Runway, the prizes are given weekly …
Jeremiah: Red Kiss
Jeremiah: Red Kiss aired in April, but it probably should have been a Halloween episode with all its emphasis on potential vampires.
In this episode, Jeremiah (Luke Perry) and Kurdy (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) come across an encampment where children are being kidnapped. Though the people are skeptical of the two …
The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses
The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses was a very good episode. While Benjamin Bratt owns this show and is hard to ignore, guest star Annabeth Gish stole this episode. She was so strong and effective in her role as the perfect wife and mother, who not so perfectly …
Tree house of Horror I Season 2 Episode 3
This Simpsons episode features three stories called “Bad Dream House”, “Hungry are the damned” and “The Raven”.
Bad Dream House
This story is based on the film poltergeist and sees Homer, Marge and the children move into a creepy house which they bought at a very cheap price. The reason for …
Good Luck Charlie- Disney Channel Family Show
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 …
Swift Justice with Nancy Grace TV Series
Swift Justice with Nancy Grace: what a ridiculous excuse for Nancy Grace to get more air time. That’s the word that keeps coming to mind — ridiculous.
With her crumpled nose, Grace wears the same outfit, a black and white combination pant suit, as she bulldogs her way around …
The Twilight Zone: Steel TV Show
What to say about The Twilight Zone: Steel. This episode aired on October 4, 1963 is one of the half-hour shows from the final season of this superb science fiction series. The problem for me is that the show in its last two years had a lot …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Rival TV Show
This is the show that just has never made sense to me. It’s the third season of The Andy Griffith Show, and we’ve already had four or so episodes that deal with Sheriff Andy Taylor’s relationship with Nurse Peggy McMillan. During this time, little Opie Taylor (Ron …

TV: Weeds, Season 6
The average fan of “Weeds,” tangled in the murky abyss of a dyspeptic and almost certainly unnecessary sixth season of the Showtime dramedy, will feel about a trillion miles away from everything/anything that made the show enjoyable to begin with. But this is OK, …
Desperate Housewives-TV Show
Suburbia never knew what hit it. I couldn’t imagine that an everyday housewife could have so many issues. I love this show because it briefly makes me think that my life is perfect compared to these ladies. I find myself eagerly waiting for the next episode so I …
Everybody Hates Chris
Everybody Hates Chris as narrated by Chris Rock.
Taking a bunch of unknowns and extras and creating a situation comedy that focuses on the narration of a successful comedian was a risk, but it seems to work. This comedy series is as close to the Bill …
M*A*S*H: Bombshells
M*A*S*H: Bombshells is a cute little story about a rumor that gets out of hand. Just joking around in the mess tent with Sergeant Max Klinger (Jamie Farr), Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) come up with an impromptu rumor, claiming …

Naruto Episode 3 Subbed
Following in the footsteps of the previous episode, episode 3 of Naruto is almost solely dedicated to comedic relief and character development. Also like episode 2, episode 3 is surprisingly fun, entertaining, and captivating. We finally get to meet some new major characters in the form of Naruto’s two …

Star Trek: I, Mudd TV Show
Roger C. Carmel returns as the colorful Harry Mudd in this second season episode, Star Trek: I, Mudd. I prefer this one over his first appearance. It’s full of fun, right from the start when McCoy and Spock banter in the corridor. Those were the good …
The Office, season five: Business Ethics
“Business Ethics” is a great low key episode of season five of the Office on NBC. It features a lot of Michael and Holly, and not a lot of Pam and Jim, which is fine. There are so many great characters on this show almost any 21-minute …
M*A*S*H: Ain’t Love Grand
Actor Mike Farrell, who plays B.J. Hunnicutt, finally gets to direct an episode of this great comedy series. M*A*S*H: Ain’t Love Grand has a few different elements going on, including Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) getting involved with a lady of the evening over at …
M*A*S*H: Give ‘Em Hell, Hawkeye
He’s done this once before and he does it again now in M*A*S*H: Give ‘Em Hell, Hawkeye. The ‘he’ is Hawkeye Pierce, played so brilliantly for years by Alan Alda. The ‘it’ is writing a letter to President Harry S. Truman. It’s Hawkeye’s attempt to communicate …
Sea Hunt: Cobalt Bomb TV Show
Airing in February 1960, Sea Hunt: Cobalt Bomb, a third season story, had Mike Nelson, our ace diving expert, once again working in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. I suppose the reason for this was to give Nelson a chance to work in other areas, or come up with …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 12: Aubrey
You know, I was enjoying this episode quite a bit for a while. The mystery was intriguing, Terry O’Quinn was fun to watch. While this was pre-John Locke, I’ll always identify him as that character from this point on; it’s just how my brain works. There …
That Girl: Old Man’s Darling
Cecil Kellaway steals the show in That Girl: Old Man’s Darling. This marvelous acting fellow plays one of the world’s richest men, who really is just a very lonely old man who is without family and friends. When he meets Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas), he is charmed …

Fireball XL5: The Sun Temple
Fireball XL5: The Sun Temple aired in December 1962 for the first time, bringing us another adventure for Colonel Steve Zodiac and his XL5 crew.
One of the fun things about this episode is that Zoonie gets to go on XL5 and Venus tries to teach him more words. …
Medium Season 4 Episode 15- Being Joey Carmichael
Medium Season 4 Episode 15- Being Joey Carmichael
This was another spooky and bizarre episode of Medium. It was intentionally confusing and strange. The whole show deals with the paranormal and the bizarre, but I think this episode has done an extra good job at weirding me out. Usually …
Seven days Season 3 Episode 8 Tracker
I must admit that I have never heard more bad accents in any show than in this one. Everybody always speaks English even though they are Russians, Chinese or of any other nationality, even when two members of another nationality which isn’t American talk among them they use English, …
Stargate SG1: Avalon Pts 1 and 2
This two parter introduced us to many new characters at SG1 while losing Richard Dean Anderson as General O’Neill. Even though he made a cameo during these episodes, it was not the same as having him around full time.
Viewers got to meet Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell played by …
The Twilight Zone: The Midnight Sun TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Midnight Sun is a neat little outing for this series, mostly because of the terrific twist that takes place at the end. I don’t watch this one a lot so if enough time has gone by, sometimes I forget and end up being surprised.
The …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Mystery at the Lighthouse (Episode)
“Mystery at the Lighthouse” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. In some ways, this episode is reminiscent of a previous episode, “Clefairy and the Moonstone” in that it deals with some of the mysterious of the Pokemon world. Both episodes have a certain mysterious aire to them …
Medium: Means and Ends TV Show
Medium: Means and Ends was not a favorite outing for this series. It seems to me that this year has been very hit and miss. The show was barely renewed for this season, and I fear this could very well be the last if things don’t pick …
Bones TV Episode: The Woman in the Sand
There wasn’t much on TV this past weekend and my wife and I were too tired out to watch an actual movie so we decided to watch re-runs of Bones instead; starting with one that we had never seen before, The Woman in the Sand.
This episode, overall, proved to …

Yo Gabba Gabba
Yo Gabba Gabba is, ostensibly, a children’s show, but I find myself drawn into it just as much as my children.
The basic premise is that DJ Lance Rock has friends who come to life when he removes them from his boom box and says the magic words “Yo …
Friends Episode: Rachel Has A Baby
Friends Episode: Rachel Has A Baby is a very cute and funny one. I like it very much and especially when the 4 friends, minus Ross, since he is in with Rachel and giving motivation to deliver the baby. So back to the story and the 4 of …
Criminal Minds S3 E4
Criminal Minds Season 3 Episode 4-Children of the Dark
This episode is a bit different than the usual formula. The identity of the criminals is revealed at the very beginning, but there was a good reason why the writers had made that choice. The story tells of a series of …
