Clean House, Messiest Home in America Contest 2
OK, I watch Clean House on a regular basis only because my wife makes me. But, I will admit, watching other people and their messes really makes me feel a bit better about my slightly messy home.
I have to say though the house on their Messiest House Contest 2 …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.22: Hostage Crisis
The twenty-second and final episode of the first season, “Hostage Crisis”, is certainly a doozy of an episode and a season finale all at once. The main stars here are Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, and a brand new bounty hunter villain named Cad Bane (oh and a special cameo …
The Virginian: The Long Quest TV show
The Virginian: The Long Quest is one of those that is so hard to watch because of its poignancy. It’s a story of tragedy that really doesn’t have a winner, no matter how you look at it, because someone is going to end up on the short stick.

Adam 12 - Logs 61 and 172
I’ve decided to combine these two “Adam-12″ episodes. My favorite of the two is “Log 61″ which evokes heart and compassion from Officer’s Reed and Malloy when they get called to residence for a possible break in.
The call comes from two young children, whose parents are out. …

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 …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 11: Eve
I remember seeing this episode years back and not being all that impressed with it. Watching it again, however, it’s really quite good. The plot is intriguing, the mystery isn’t easily solved and it keeps you guessing throughout. It’s also quite creepy and atmospheric, using a …
The District tv show
I’ve always liked this show because it is about one man that changed something. I know that it is impossible that there’s no crime in a big city and that the police officers are underpaid so that they don’t wanna risk their lives on their job and people …

The Simpsons: Homer the Whopper
One of the shows we ended up watching Sunday night was the Simpson’s season premiere “Homer the Whopper.”
This one wasn’t too bad of an episode even though I do think the newer episodes just don’t seem to live up to the older ones. Homer gets a chance to play …
Supernatural (television series)
One of my favourite shows of all times is “Supernatural”. I can honestly say that I can’t think of one bad thing to say about it; and it’s the only television series I know that seems to get better and better with time.
It is about two brothers; Sam …

Highway Patrol: Efficiency Secretary TV Show
Season three of Highway Patrol continues with this episode called Efficiency Secretary, which is all about a dedicated secretary who suddenly switches to the wrong side of the law. There really isn’t a lot of time devoted to why she’d make this change, and that’s something I wish …
Due South: Mojo Rising
Due South: Mojo Rising was big on voodoo, and those shows aren’t my favorites to watch, regardless of the show. I’m not sure what the fascination is with this type of show, but sooner or later, it seems like every dramatic show on the air does some show …

Blacke’s Magic: Address Unknown
It’s the guest stars who make Blacke’s Magic: Address Unknown work for me. They are an interesting collection of talent. Sam Groom, who has from time to time been confused with the more successful Sam Elliott, has a nice role here as Dale Richmond, friend of Alexander …

House: Maternity
I’ve seen dozens of episodes of the show House but one of the most depressing episodes is the one entitled “Maternity.”

Seinfeld: The Soup Nazi
One of the more famous Seinfeld episodes is the one entitled “The Soup Nazi.” And, to be honest, with you, it’s definitely memorable but I’m not sure if it is my favorite episode of the series.
This one focuses on a soup kitchen that everyone on the show frequents. It …
Highway Patrol: Family Affair TV Show

Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 14: Journey’s End
The two part finale wraps up as the team tries to stop the Daleks’ nefarious plan. Where the last episode had a lot of epic goings on with little room for character moments, this one is oddly quieter. It’s still heavy, but not in the same sense …
Chasing Mummies: Discovered TV Show
Chasing Mummies: Discovered opens with a man being injured, though that’s about the only mention of this. It’s like instant drama with no follow through.
However, there was something exciting about this hour and that was seeing the 123rd pyramid being discovered. Apparently, it had been found under …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Naked Now
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Naked Now is just bad. Just plain bad. The first episode to air after the series premier is a comedy show that has very few actually humorous parts and is riddled with nonsensical lines of dialogue tied in with awkward performances. Boy …
The Universe: The Earth
The Universe delivers another thrilling and informative instalment, this time with the focus on something closer to home than the usual subject matter.
This episode focused on our own blue world; the Earth. That mightn’t sound the most thrilling focus, considering the other destinations this series investigates, reminding us of …
Laramie: The Fugitives TV show
From February 1963, Laramie: The Fugitives was an episode from the show’s fourth and final season. This series is my all time favorite and it really should have gone on longer. Ratings were good, so it’s confusing as to why it was cancelled.
The show opens with Slim …
Legend: Legend on His President’s Secret Service
The opening of this third episode is a hoot. Pratt is on a book tour in the south, a bad mistake since his dime novels are all about Yankees. Just as some unhappy southerners are about to do harm to him and in fact have him hanging …
Dexter’s Laboratory
In the late 1990s and the early 2000s, there were three cartoons on Cartoon Network which I remember were quite popular amongst children and a few teenagers I knew.

The Hillside Stranglers movie
From 1989, The Hillside Stranglers is almost as frightening as the actual events that this movie is based on. I lived through these events, watching them unfold on television, and it was a scary time. I would have been terrified had I lived in that area where …
Diagnosis Murder: The Bela Lugosi Blues TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: The Bela Lugosi Blues should have been a show that aired in the month of October instead of in January, which it did in 1995, which was about midway through the medical and police drama’s second season. The title alone suggests that it’s an eerie outing, …

Beast Wars - A Better Mousetrap
Beast Wars - A Better Mousetrap is an episode that primarily focuses on Rattrap, although the episode also provides newcomers Blackarachnia and Tigertron with some material that allows their characters to be fleshed out a bit more. This episode is also a treat in the respect that much like …
The Bachelor Rome (tv)
The Bachelor Rome is on television currently, and once again, I am sucked into watching the program. I usually try to avoid watching shows like this like the plague because once you get immersed in the storyline, and somewhat emotionally bonded with the reality show stars, it is …
