Santa Claus is Coming to Town
The television, cartoon version of Santa Claus is Coming to town is my personal favorite of all of the Christmas, holiday special shows.
I like to watch this particular show year after year.
This is where Kris Kringle comes to town to give presents to all the children, only to find …
One Tree Hill
I have been watching One Tree Hill since it first started in 2003. I had just had my first child and was 20 years old. I started watching because I liked the storyline of all the different highschool situations. I could find a character that reminded me of each …
MASH- Season 5
The 5th Season of MASH helped the series rebound from, my opinion, a weak 4th season. To spice things up, MASH has Margaret getting engaged to a Lt. Colonel she met while in Tokyo and, as a result, ending her relationship with Frank Burns. The season finale has her …
Anderson Cooper 360
“Anderson Cooper 360” is a live news broadcast on CNN and CNN International that is billed as a show that takes you beyond the headlines. Due to the skill of the primary anchor and reporter, Anderson Cooper, as well as his entire team of reporters and producers, I …
Mr. Monk and the End, Part 2
We watched the Monk series finale last night and I have to say it wasn’t quite as good as I thought it would be. But, it did have a few twists that I didn’t expect so it still managed to win some points.
First, the case was way too easy …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Bad Girls
Well, it’s about time Buffy the Vampire Slayer had some sort of twist in the plot involving Faith. All it took was the episode “Bad Girls” to give everything a whole new perspective.
Not only are we introduced to a very disgusting demon and gain a bit more understanding about …
Black Gold: S3, Ep 6 TV Show
Black Gold, the show that airs on TruTV and follows the work crews of Big Dog Oil Rig 28, continued its third season with this sixth week episode that was a lot of yelling and shouting, combined with a tad of personal emotion.
One of the hot heads, Cheston, is …

Friends is one of the most popular and viewed series of the 90s. A group of friends who always hang out in the coffee shop, Central Perk, and talk about their lives. It starred Jennifer Aniston(as Rachel Green), Courtney Cox(as Monica Geller), Lisa Kudrow(as Phoebe Buffay), Matt LeBlanc(as Joey …
That Girl: Soot Yourself
This episode of That Girl actually had me chuckling and thinking about a little TV movie called Gidget Gets Married. I’ve never associated the Ann Marie character with Gidget Lawrence before but it just popped into my head that this was going to be what Ann and Don …
Laramie: Handful of Fire TV Show
Laramie: Handful of Fire opened dramatically with Slim Sherman delivering an urgent message to an Army colonel named Barrington, which he ignores. When pressed later, the colonel, a sergeant, and a lieutenant all lie about the orders, claiming that the dispatches Slim was carrying arrived too late. …
The Simpson’s TV Episode: The Day the Violence Died
I ended up watching a re-run of the show The Simpson’s last night, The Day the Violence Died. I have seen this one before, but this was the first time in a long time and it was actually kind of nice seeing it again.
Basically, in this episode, Bart and …
The Fall Guy: No Way Out TV Show
From January 1982, The Fall Guy: No Way Out had a fairly good opening sequence. Though the main story is always about Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) chasing down some bail jumper, we most always get a fun stunt segment to remind us that he’s normally a stunt man.
In …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - One Krabs Trash
One day Mr. Krabs decides to have a yard sale and get rid of things to make some money, just because he is so cheap. He finds things in other people’s trash and resells them, and that is the way he is. Well, one day Spongebob and Patrick decide …
Desperate Housewives
Desperate Housewives is as crunchy as the popcorns I gorge on during the show! The first season was Fantabulous and the second is even more spicier. The foxy four leading ladies keep getting themslves into embarrasing-hilarious-steamy situations in every episode.
My personal favorite is the role of Eva Longoria as …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 1: The Avatar State
This episode picks up where the season finale left off. Aang is having nightmares about the battle, seeing the ruthless attack from outside himself.
The group leaves the North pole to head to an Earth Kingdom where Aang can continue his training.
When they arrived, I figured they …
The Virginian: The Executioners
When The Virginian aired originally, I just wasn’t a fan. It was a ninety minute show, in color, and starred Lee J Cobb, Doug McClure, Gary Clarke, James Drury, and Roberta Shore. Honestly, the shore bored me. I tried watching it, but I wasn’t attracted to …
Smallville Season 8 Episode 4
This episode of Smallville was great. I really enjoyed the introduction of Maxima from Almerac. Sadly I think she was a one episode thing but hopefully we may get to see more of her in the future.
Basically, Tess sets off a crystal, Maxima a beautiful alien …

All thirty-eight episodes from the second season of this television show are included on this DVD season set. The episodes run for around twenty-five minutes on average, …
NCIS season 6 Episode 1 Last Man Standing
NCIS is a detective show about a Navy Crime Investigative Service. So what they actually do is to resolve the crime cases that have anything to do with the Navy. I must say that from most of these crime investigative shows this is my favourite one.
The last season finished …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 15 (Animated)
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 15 begins with Aang finding a Water Tribe weapon and Sokka and Katara meet up with Bato, a member of the Water Tribe. Aang starts feeling left out because he’s not part of the culture and makes a very bad decision.

Beverly Hills 90210
“Beverly Hills 90210″ was a popular television series which I can recall used to come on Saturday evenings in the 90s on a local television station here. At that time I was not interested in the series, and I did not understand it either. However, what I did know …
The Good Life Series 3 Episode 5 Wind Break War
I have watched every episode of ‘The Good Life’ about ninety times as I was around as a kid in the 1970s, so I watched it first time round, and then I catch the repeats nowadays. This episode ‘Wind-Break War’ is one of my favourites. This is …
Curb Your Enthusiasm - TV Show
I watched the first season or two of Curb Your Enthusiasm recently. It’s a comedy show that used to be on HBO and it won a bunch of comedy awards so my favorable review is going to be nothing new to the enlightened television watcher who by fluke …
House: Here Kitty
Well, the television series House seems to finally be getting back to interesting plots. I still wouldn’t put the more recent episodes in the same class as earlier ones but tonight’s episode “Here Kitty” managed to be kind of cute while making you think.
House has a patient come into …

Voltron: Space Explorers Captured
Ok, it has been years since I watched the cartoon Voltron. In fact, I couldn’t remember anything about the show except that I was obsessed with it as a kid (I think I even still have one of the toys somewhere at my parents’ house).
So, tonight, I got a …
The Virginian: Old Cowboy TV Show
The Virginian: Old Cowboy is not a new or novel idea. It’s been told in TV and movies for decades. I realize this is an older show, but even for the 60’s, it’s been told before. What is the focus is an old cowboy, a man …
The Office: Business Ethics
The new HR rep needs to give everyone in the office a ethic’s seminar but Michal Encourages everyone to talk about their unethical behavior. It starts out pretty tame as Oscar admits to taking long lunches, and Dwight accuses him of being a time thief. Then it jumps into …
Seinfeld TV Episode: The Visa
Well, that was a funny episode of Seinfeld last night; The Visa. Yes, it was a re-run that I might have seen before. But, compared to some of the crap that was on at the same time, it was actually a bit refreshing.
Basically, the main story in this one …
The Good Wife: Breaking up (Season 2, Episode 10)
I find the storyline of The Good Wife very compelling. The series revolves around a wife who stands by her man even though he had been publicly condemned as a philanderer. What indeed happens to the wife of the philanderer after he is exposed to the public? Although every …
The Tribe Season 1 Episode 3
In this episode, Lex wakes up to eat breakfast when he notices the food is gone and immediately points the finger at Bray and Amber for letting him stay in the mall. Shortly after, Bray returns with Trudy and asks if she can stay because she is pregnant. Lex …
TMZ
TMZ is a show that tells you updated news about celebrities and famous people. The people that talk on it just stand around and show you videos and pictures and talk about the updated news with celebrities or famous people. It’s an alright show overall, I think that they …
Sea Hunt: The Alcatraz Story TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Alcatraz Story aired in January 1959 and was the first story of the second season which continued the adventures of deep sea diver, Mike Nelson, as portrayed by Lloyd Bridges. This particular tale has a bunch of vocal narration because so much of it does …
Castle Season 4 Episode 2 (TV show)
Wow, this was a really interesting and unique episode of Castle. This is the beauty of this show, only they can make an episode like that believable, any other crime show would have looked ridiculous trying to pull off a story about a superhero who slices people right in …
Gilmore Girls TV show
This show is full of quick, snappy dialogue with many references to literature and pop culture. It is about the relationship between Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory. The show began with Rory’s entrance to Chilton high school, and progressed from there to Rory entering Yale University.
The two live …
Gilligan’s Island - High Man on the Totem Pole TV Show
This episode has quite a few ups and downs. Gilligan goes around all depressed through most of the episode. Actually its agonizing to watch him obsess what he thinks is his heritage, related to head hunters. And he deduces this solely on his resemblance to the likeness of the …
Royal Pains
Royal Pains, on USA network, is the surprisingly entertaining and heartwarming story of a young doctor who - due to a political mistake - was fired from his job at a top hospital. He finds himself in the Hamptons where he sort of falls into the job of …
The X-Files Sleepless Episode
Like many other episodes of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files” I thought this one was also quite interesting. In fact, I can remember a familiar face of an actor in there who seems to star in many B-Movies such as “The Candyman” and “The Strange Case …
Friends Episode featuring Winona Ryder
Have you ever watched Friends Episode featuring Winona Ryder? I must say that Winona’s acting in this episode is pretty convincing for a so-called indirect lesbian.
Of course, during the first part of the scene episode, when you watch, you would not realize that she is a lesbian and …
House show
We have cable tv and one of the better series on cable is a show called House.
House is a medical drama series, and although I am not into medical program on the whole this one is rather good. Hugh Laurie plays House. He is a disgruntled doctor, who suffers …
Doctor Who: Season 2 Episode 7: The Age of Steel
After the previous episode, I wasn’t really sold on the Cybermen. I’m still not blown away by them, but my opinion of them as foes of the Doctor has increased significantly.
Really though, this episode belongs to Mickey, who gets to shine after being left behind and then …
TV Show Ugly Betty
No wonder there are a lot of hype surrounding the popular hot new TV show, Ugly Betty. Everybody loves Ugly Betty, even those who can’t understand English do. This is proven, as the show even has translations into several languages across different countries.
Perhaps it’s because everybody could …
The boondocks season 1
Looking for a hilarious adult humor cartoon with political undertones? Try the boondocks season 1 on dvd. This cartoon is featured on adult swim on MTV, and is a little raunchy, rude and crude. It is definitely not for the easily offended.
This cartton is about a black family that …
Sabrina, the Teenage Witch
I love Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. I am 28 so sometimes I feel a little silly watching it, but I can’t help it. It’s cute and campy and I remember Melissa Joan Hart from ‘Clarissa Explains it All’, from Nickelodean. I think she’s cute. It’s one of those shows …
Adam 12 - Log 92
This particular episode of “Adam-12″, “Log 92″ was one of the most dramatic and tragic shows of the series. It’s something we see everyday, how little things end up being a nightmare, how people lose control over silly issues, and how the failure to take a calming breath, …
Stargate Atlantis: The Seed
As folks who know me are aware, I’m not a big fan of Stargate Atlantis for many reasons, not the least of which is that I hold it responsible for the deterioration of quality on Stargate SG-1. Now that I’ve said that up front, here are both the …
Hawaii Five-O: Not That Much Different
Hawaii Five-O: Not That Much Different focuses on student protestors who confront a foreign official. The man decides to address the protestors and when shots ring out, one of the protestors is killed. At first, the assumption is that the shot was meant for the foreign representative, …
Ghost Hunters Academy: Final Exam
My wife and I watched the season finale of Ghost Hunters Academy last night, Final Exam. It was an OK episode because I think it ended explaining more about the series than the rest of the episodes did.
For one, we learned that, instead of going home, the class members that …
Last Exile TV Show
This anime is absolutely beautiful in every way. Typically I do not like the ‘techie’ type animes, and I thought Last Exile was one of them, so it took me a while to come around to watching it. However promos can be deceiving and this is a …
