Lost Season 6 Episode 4
As with every episode of Lost this one was a little weird. There was so much going on I won’t recap what happened. This episode was mainly about Sawyer/Locke and a little bit of Hurley.
It’s really nice to see the Locke character alive and well especially when …
Las Vegas
I was home at lunch today and my wife, who was waiting for another show to come on, had the television show Las Vegas on TV. I have never seen this show before so I took a few minutes to watch it and see if it would be something …

The Office: Survivor Man
Having watched every episode of Survivor Man, the title of this episode of The Office intrigued me. This season of the office has finally hit it’s stride.
The best part about this episode was the same thing as the previous episode, that is the plausibility. Having left behind the large …
Star Trek: Enterprise - Fight or Flight
“Fight or Flight” is the third episode in the first season of Star Trek: Enterprise, with the first two episodes consisting of the two hour pilot. I feel it was quite appropriate of the writers to do a character story this early in the series because it helps to …
Back at the Barnyard
I normally don’t mind my daughter watching shows on Nickelodean. But, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of the show Back at the Barnyard; a feeling that hasn’t changed from day one.
Fortunately for me, my daughter is already tired of the show because it means I …

House: The Down Low
I will admit, last night’s episode of House was a refreshing episode. It had an interesting case and the side stories weren’t too bad either.
First, the case was fantastic. You have a drug dealer, who turns out to be an undercover cop, who is brought in with some sort …

Merlin’s Apprentice (Hallmark Entertainment) 2006
Merlin’s Apprentice is not a sequel to the original 1998 Hallmark production,Merlin,which also starred Sam Neil in the title role and Miranda Richardson in the supporting cast. The 1998 Merlin is one of the few film interpretations of the Authurian legend that I like,and I also have always …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 2: The Host
A monster of the week episode should, by all accounts, be difficult to pull off, what with the X-files being closed and all. Still, we manage to get a classic one here. The “flukeman” has become one of the iconic X-files monsters and, after watching this episode, …

Directed by Timothy Busfield, the second episode of Outlaw aired on September 24, 2010. In this series, Jimmy Smits stars as former United States Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza. Garza quit the bench to become a regular lawyer again. It’s really an interesting premise.
Guest star Ed …
Sanctuary: Next Tuesday
Amanda Tapping first came to my attention as Sam Carter in Stargate SG-1. After ten seasons and two movies, she has moved on to this new science fiction series, Sanctuary. Actually, this show began on the internet with webisodes while SG-1 was still in production. The …

Bones: The Goop on the Girl
A Bones tradition is ending the season with a Christmas episode. This year was no different. And, I will say the episode The Goop on the Girl was actually pretty entertaining.

CSI Season 7 Episode 4- Fannysmackin
Yet another great chapter in the popular crime investigation show. This time a dishwasher is brutally murdered in the parking lot when coming back from work. He was kicked to death by a gang of hooded teenagers. His wallet and cellphone were stolen. Half an hour later, a female …
Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon
Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon is part medical drama and part spy caper. Combined, Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon just doesn’t do a whole lot for me. I never have liked the opening scene. It sets up the drama naturally enough, but it’s just …
John Doe: Illegal Alien TV show
Normally, I tend to enjoy astronaut and space stories, and I do this one, but not as much as I hoping when I realized that somehow or another the space program would figure into this episode of John Doe which is called Illegal Alien.
>From March 2003, no one knows …

Hannah Montana
“Hannah Montana!!!!” The screaming of her name, by my 6yr old daughter, about makes my eardrums explode. Hannah Montana is a young actress/singer. Her show is called Hannah Montana and is found on the Disney Channel. Miley Cyrus, daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, is a …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Stagecoach
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Stagecoach would have been better with a little different mix of stagecoach passengers. Basically, Brisco is taking a prisoner to Mexico on a stagecoach on which there is a killer. The viewers learn this first, thanks to a scene with Socrates …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.8 - Intervention
It’s official, I absolutely love the second season. Season 2 of “The Two Coreys” is to Season 1 what “The Godfather, Part II” is to “The Godfather”. The title of this episode, “Intervention”, is exactly what it’s about. This one delves deep into Corey Haim who finds himself in …
Season 2 Real Chance of Love
I am ashamed. But I will admit that I do watch VH1’s “Real Chance of Love” Season 2. This is just one of those programs that you say is really stupid. But you can’t help but to watch anyway. At any rate, these two …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Enemies TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Enemies, episode 29, starts out with a very dramatic teaser featuring a submarine called the Angler. It starts out innocently enough with an order for a course being given by Richardson (Tom Skerritt). Sub captain Williams (Robert Sampson) objects, …
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1, Episode 20

Ghost Hunters: Hellfire Caves
Well, that was interesting. I must have missed something in the third season of Ghost Hunters because the TAPS team apparently went to England to do some investigations; one of with was the Hellfire Caves investigation.
I had heard of the Hellfire Club before but reading about them and seeing …
Stargate SG-1: Politics
Stargate SG-1: Politics continues the season 1 ending arc with the first of the annual ‘clips’ shows. Essentially, for budget purposes, one episode of SG-1 per season is some kind of show where the bulk of the story is shown using clips of past episodes. The new …
Jail (MyATL program)
There seems to be an influx of programs on television today that focus on crime and criminals. This one focuses on the actual jail experience. This is a nice twist because most reality shows center on what goes on prior to the crime occurring, or while …
Red Dwarf: Beyond A Joke
This episode begins with Cryton creating a lobster diner in celebration of the Red Dwarf crew rescuing him from his old ship, but because he kept the diner a secret they already have plans to visit “Jane Austin World” in the virtual reality suite .I don’t know if this …
Melrose Place
In the nineteen nineties, I had gotten very used to living around the local television stations’ boring and unpredictable schedule. They would often sometimes bring cricket matches on both channels when I expected to see Saturday morning cartoons, and on Sundays, they brought absolutely nothing which appealed to …
George Lopez
George Lopez is a very funny show. I started watching this show a few months ago and I must say I do enjoy it. You can watch it on the CW 44 or cable 12. I like George Lopez’s sense of humor. He is very funny yet very sarcastic and …

Star Trek the Next Generation Episode: First Contact

In this episode an …
A-Team TV Episode: Beneath the Surface
The other night, before bed, I ended up coming across an A-Team re-run that I didn’t intend on watching at first but ended up being somewhat interesting; Beneath the Surface.
What got my attention on this one was the stupid move Face makes at the beginning; attending his orphanages’ reunion …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Dr. Thackeray
The funny thing about Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Dr. Thackeray is that Paladin actually talks marriage, and the thing is that he’s such a playboy as a rule. They don’t really show much, but it’s there and prevalent in his lifestyle. In this …
An Evening With Il Divo - Live In Barcelona TV show

Ghost Hunters: Wright Patterson Airforce Base

The ghost hunt itself was a bit boring. They had the one scene where they supposedly …
Street Hawk: A Second Self
By accident, I ended up watching Street Hawk somewhat in reverse. Thus, I have actually just watched all of the other episodes and now definitely declare that A Second Self is absolutely the best of the 13. It had top notch acting, a great story (though I’ll …
Project Runway
The emmy nominee show on Bravo television known as Project Runway is terrific. It features the latest upcoming clothes designer fighting for the chance to become top in their field. The judges are great, though somewhat hard on the designers. Although some of the designers …
Family Guy: Holy Crap
This episode is from early in the second season, and is where the show started hitting its stride. Of course, by hitting its stride I mean starting to run gags for shock value based on them putting respected members of society in weird situations. In this one, Peter’s very …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Judge Judy Sheindlin TV Show
For the past couple of years, actor William Shatner has had a very interesting half hour series called Shatner’s Raw Nerve. It’s a great concept, and it’s not a normal talk show. It really is a one on one chat between Shatner and his guest, which in …
