Stargate SG-1: Ripple Effect
Stargate SG-1: Ripple Effect is hands down the best episode of the entire final two seasons of this series. While not perfect, it was fun, and it let us revisit with much-loved characters on the show.
In essence, SG-1 gets diverted to an alternate reality, as do numerous other …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature is the 28th show of the series. This science fiction show has always been a favorite of mine, and it’s really been fun to go back and watch them again in order to write these reviews. Of course, …
Family Guy: Tales of a Third Grade Nothing
I’m not sure about Family Guy some weeks. Some episodes are very clever and unique. Others, like “Tales of a Third Grade Nothing” lack any real substance to them.
This episode basically has Peter having to repeat the third grade because he is seeking a management position and it is …
Stargate SG-1: Holiday
One of the most riveting episodes in season 2 of Stargate SG-1 is called Holiday. It’s a standout episode for Michael Shanks, who not only plays his usual character of Doctor Daniel Jackson, but also the part of Ma’chello, an aged and infirmed inventor of things to defeat …

Charmed TV Show
This used to be my absolute favorite show when I was younger. I am still so sad that there will never be a new episode again. But luckily, they are still showing reruns and probably always will because it was such a successful show. I would watch it every …
American Idol Season 7: Dallas
American Idol is staring a brand new season and this season is starting out with a splash. The Dallas audition had some great talents and some that are just plain weird. My favorite out of the two hour show is the guy that auditioned last. He wore a white …
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 …
Project Runway reality show
The best reality television show is hosted by a super model. No,not Tyra Banks, although, America’s Next Top Model is right up there with the best. I am talking about Heid Klum. She hosts “Project Runway.”
It is a show about clothing designers that is broadcasted on the …
Project Blue Book, TV Series (2019)
In my opinion, The Blue Book is one of the most interesting series of at least the last 5 years. What are its principal merits?
Dramatic and scenic authenticity, no comic relief - you won’t find here any cardboard heroes, saving the world by clutching their fingers in the wings …
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1
Watching Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season One now is a fairly different experience than watching it when the season first aired years ago. I actually remember when the show first started because my parents were big fans of the original Law and Order and I actually watched Special …
The Beast: Capone
The Capone episode of The Beast stands out because it featured Lou Diamond Phillips as an agent who is deep under cover. The problem is that the man has been in his role for four very long years, during which his wife divorced him. In essence, as …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 36: Hanging by a Thread
I mentioned before how I liked that this show incorporated various mythologies into their story lines. This takes that idea and kicks it up to eleven. It centers around a horde of demons trying to steal the shears of the Fates to try and take over the world. …
Supernatural TV Series - Season 1
I don’t think I would believe you if you said that you haven’t heard anything at all about Supernatural. It is definitely one of the most popular TV shows at the moment and personally, I am a big fan of the show.
The show is about two brothers - Sam …
Lifetime Movie Network
Lifetime Movie Network caters to women. This is the place for chick flicks. I�m not a fan of television, but when I need to sit down, relax and unwind, chances are I will tune into Lifetime Movie Network. There are movies shown twenty four hours a day, seven days …

QVC (television)
Few television shows piss me off as much as QVC. I find it to be a completely idiotic way of marketing a product and more likely than not, I would go out of my way not to purchase a product advertised on their broadcasts. First of all, …

Heartland
The new TNT medical show heartland is far from a show that gets to the heart. The star Treat Williams who always plays a murderer in shows is great playing a murderer, but when it comes to playing a doctor he is so unconvincing. You never see …
Celebrity Apprentice - Episode 2
Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice is always full of the unexpected. In this second edition of the celebrity-studded game, my favorite is Scott Hamilton. However, from the moment I heard he was going to do the show I was certain he’d be eaten alive. He’s a good …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 4
What is really fun about this episode of Emerald Point N.A.S. are two face offs. The first is with regular Dennis Weaver as Rear Admiral Tom Mallory facing off against guest star Robert Loggia, who plays a Russian admiral. They are discussing some close encounters that have …
A-Team TV Episode: Mission of Peace
I ended up stumbling across the A-Team episode Mission of Peace early Sunday morning. And, because I had missed the first few minutes of it, I found myself watching mainly in an effort to figure out what the heck was going on.
Overall though, it was a pretty decent episode.
Basically, the …

Sea Hunt: The Hero TV Show
From 1958, Sea Hunt: The Hero has some good bits to it and was interesting to watch, I’m happy to say. I like the opening where we learn what project Mike Nelson, expert skin diver, is working on at the moment, and that’s research to see if plant …
The Office: Branch Closing
“Whatever you can say about Michael, he wouldn’t have done that,” is the line of the episode. Watching “The Office” is about watching Michael do stupid things, but it’s good to be reminded occasionally that he has his good points and though in real like he almost certainly …
Burn Notice Season 1
Burn Notice is one of those great shows that goes almost completely unnoticed until it’s cancelled and then suddenly the fans come out of the woodwork, wanting to know what happened to it. From the first time I saw a preview for the show, I knew I was going …
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life
…and the day was finally here, THEY ARE OUT! I know there are many people, or I better say girls, who are Gilmore Girls fans and that they were waiting for this moment with bathed breath, but some non-that-much-fans did the same. I like this TV show very much but …
Smallville Season 7 episode 8
This episode of Smallville was a little weird. Basically Clark takes Kara’s crystal, sticks it in the fortress of solitude and lo and behold we have Lara, Clark’s biological mother and Zor El his evil uncle. Well replicas of them anyway.
While it was cool to see Clark’s …
The X-Files Pilot Episode
This was the very first episode of the popular 1990s television series “The X-Files”. I had not gotten to watch this particular episode for years though, however, I managed to be able to watch it recently on a website online. It was the beginning of a very promising show …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Jealousy (Episode)
“Jealousy” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode follows a pretty standard formula that I imagine, at the time, hadn’t been done to death like it has by now. In this episode, Rob ends up working late several nights with a beautiful woman that is …
TV Show : ICarly
Since having my girls my life has been fulfilling and wonderful. But I would be lying if I said I didn’t get tired of endless reruns of the most popular shows on channels like Disney and Nickelodeon. I have seen so many episodes of shows like The …

Big Brother: Power of Veto August 25, 2010 TV Show
The August 25, 2010 edition of the American version of Big Brother was the Power of Veto episode. Quite honestly, it was the competition that was the best part of the very long hour. The truth is that many of these shows could be shown in a …

Will and Grace
I first heard of the comedic television series “Will and Grace” while I was still in high school. I can’t remember how the discussion started or what it had to do with English either, but it seemed to be the topic of a very animated English class one day …
The Beast Wars - Part One
The Beast Wars - Part One is the first part of the season premier. As a part of the season one premier, it does do what it is supposed to do and it does it well: it introduces the characters and lays out the plot of the series. I …

Rock of Love Charm School TV Series
