Forever TV Show Episode Two: Look Before You Leap
Forever is a new TV show that is featured on the ABC network. Given that I enjoyed the very first episode, I made sure I geared up and watched the second. Now, given that I pretty much had an idea on what the show will generally will be about, …
M*A*S*H: The Foresight Saga
M*A*S*H: The Foresight Saga is a nice ninth season show that includes Radar O’Reilly, the one time company clerk of the 4077th. While Gary Burghoff doesn’t appear in the show, the camp receives a very upbeat letter from him, written from his hometown in Iowa. Later on, …
The Simpsons: The Mook, The Chef, The Wife and Her Homer

The Fall Guy: The Japanese Connection TV Show
I’m not sure, but I think The Fall Guy: The Japanese Connection would have been better called The Hawaiian Connection. This is the show starring Lee Majors, who plays a stunt man named Colt Seavers whose side job is working as a bounty hunter. Most episodes start …
Top Chef
I too have aspirations of going to the CIA sometime in the near future…not that CIA, the Culinary Institute of America that is. But for 2 past students on the current season of the Top Chef Competition, things just didnt go down well at all. Pretty much, …
www.backstage.com

Sex Revolution on VH-1

Fringe Season 4 Episode 3
After viewing the previous episodes of season 4 of Fringe I have voiced my concerns regarding the future of the show. It looked like they have stripped away the most intriguing and touching aspects of the show: they have wiped Peter Bishop out of existence, taking away the intense …
Inspector Gadget (TV Show) - Winter Olympics (Episode)
“Winter Olympics” is the first episode of the “Inspector Gadget” television series. It’s interesting to watch this episode in part due to the changes that were made after it was produced, so there are some unique aspects that appear in this episode but not in the other episodes in …
Hogan’s Heroes: The Merry Widow
Well, yesterday’s episode of Hogan’s Heroes (on TV Land) was definitely an interesting one; at least more interesting than I thought it would be.
The episode, called “The Merry Widow” had Hogan and his team trying to smuggle out information relating to a new landmine. However, they get caught digging …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Ned Zed
This is a cute idea and a neat way to tell a story that wouldn’t work with the current storyline. It’s like someone had an idea for the Brisco character, but wanted it set in an earlier timeline of the series. To make that work, they added …
Batman Versus Dracula
OK, just when I thought cartoons based on comic books have gone a bit too far, there is another one that pops up. Batman vs. Dracula is one of the examples of it.
The Batman character has gone through a few transformations over the years and the Cartoon Network version …
The Office - Season 2 - Episode 12 - The Injury
I have a really difficult time getting into TV shows. I always feel like I’m being incredibly unproductive if I’m just sitting in front of the TV watching mindless entertainment for hour after hour. It really takes a lot for me to get into a show to the point …
Columbo: The Complete Third Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Third Season DVD set reminds me of diminishing returns. When Universal Studios released season one, it was awesome. The artwork on the DVDs was terrific and the set up of the set was superb. There weren’t any extras, but the show was there …
Tom Thumb cartoon
U.B. Iwerks was very well respected as an animator of cartoons, and this story of Tom Thumb is a good example of his work. It’s from the golden days of television and is quite good.
It begins with the birth of Tom Thumb, or rather, his delivery by the …

Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura

I finally got a chance …
Venture Bros: Handsome Ransom
Wow..just wow. Where the last episode was very non-linear, this one remains straight forward. Hank and Dean have been captured by the Monarch and he’s holding them for ransom.
Things go awry when a superhero named Captain Sunshine busts in and takes Hank, leaving Dean. …
Ghost Hunters: Congress Theater
We stayed up to watch the later episode of Ghost Hunters since SVU was on at 8. We were both half asleep on the couch and, to be honest, after watching the investigation of the Congress Theater in Chicago, I’m not sure it was worth staying up for.
On one …
Superstars of Dance
Superstars of Dance, hosted by Irish dance great, Michael Flatley, has really been fascinating to watch. In this unique competition show, dancers from eight countries have faced off against one another in team dance, pairs, and solos.

Ben 10

Project Runway: A Look in the Line TV Show

As the dark yet mellow tunes of an sax playing its cold yet truthful notes to an cursed city covered in the eternal darkness of an bitter cruel winter that devourers at the minds of those who survived battles of the past and present. On Cowboy Bebop, even the …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Valerie Harper TV Show
Taped in Las Vegas, it was Valerie Harper as the Woman of the Hour in this edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. For me, it had a slow start. I didn’t think Dean Martin’s opening had much spark to it, and Rich Little’s Henry Kissinger impression …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 12 - The Rescue
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 12 - The Rescue is what it says, the rescue of Glenn Matthews (Andrew Stevens) and Hilary Adams (Sela Ward) whose plane had gone down, stranding them on a beach somewhere where, yes, the ‘nasty’ happens. Glenn has no backbone, that’s for sure. …
Supergirl TV Season 1, Episode 11: Strange Visitor from Another Planet
Following the aftermath of a friendship breakdown between Winn and Kara from “Childish Things” episode, it was noticeable with only two appearances from Jeremy Jordan as Winn here. I have to admit, I did search the background people whenever the shot was panning out of Cat’s office because Winn’s desk …
Star Trek: The Man Trap TV Show
Star Trek: The Man Trap has never been one of my favorite episodes. It’s an early episode from the first season, but I think it’s the romance angle that didn’t appeal to me.
Here’s what I like and don’t like about this 1966 show.
–They mystique is gone quickly as …
The Biggest Loser
I am addicted to The Biggest Loser like just about everyone else I know. I think it’s a fine game show. However, I have one criticism. I hate when they lose so big in the first week and later weeks they act so disappointed that they *only* lose like …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Prodigy
Synopsis: Detectives need to figure out who brutally murdered a man and woman and then later decapitated the female victim? Was it a young man with a high IQ but murderous tendencies or was it someone else close to her?
What I liked about this episode: I love the fact …
Sea Hunt: Sunken Car TV Show
Sea Hunt: Sunken Car begins with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing a survey job where a pipe would be placed later. I like seeing how they link these little opening bits with what ultimately becomes the main focus of the half hour episodes. The survey really has …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 12
As we flee from the threat of our identities of being revealed, we must question the nature of this fear in the first place. Does it exist to torment us, or is it an foolish illusion wrought by man’s own hands? These questions may not have an answer at …
ABC Wipeout tv game show
Wipeout is not a show that jumped out at me by just seeing the commercials. In fact, the only reason I began watching this show is because I randomly stopped on it while channel surfing.
Wipeout is a reality game show that puts contestants through four rounds of obstacle …
South Park - Jersey Thing
Just hearing this title had me curious. I mean, what is the Jersey Thing? The only explanation that the episode had about what a Jersey Thing is, is just the mean and annoying excuses that people from New Jersey use when …

Buck Rogers - The Fighting 69th
This episode used to freak me out as a little kid mainly because the disfigured villains were so cruel and their attempts to kill everyone on earth with nerve gas paled in comparison to their tormenting of a deaf girl and their attempt to set Buck Rogers on fire! …
M*A*S*H: Carry On, Hawkeye
M*A*S*H: Carry On, Hawkeye is one of my all time favorite shows of this medical comedy series. Back before the days of VCRs, I actually recorded it onto a cassette tape and listened to it often. In the show, one by one the entire camp comes down …

A Certain Justice - Part 3
The conclusion to A Certain Justice was better than Part 2, which I felt was a bit slow in this mystery crime story from P.D. James. This is the part where we get to the genius that the Commander Adam Dalgliesh is supposed to be. The puzzle …

Max Headroom: Blipverts TV show
A couple years before Max Headroom the TV series began, there was a short movie made of the subject matter that created a lot of industry buzz. Much of this Blipverts episode is derived from the plot and themes first scene in that attention-grabbing 1985 project.
The basic idea …
The Andy Griffith Show: A Plaque for Mayberry TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: A Plaque for Mayberry has one of my favorite crazy Barney Fife scenes. It’s right at the beginning of this first season episode, when town drunk Otis Campbell (Hal Smith) is ready to be released from his latest incarceration, only Deputy Fife thinks he …

I have watched this show called house of Payne quite a few times. In general I really like it. It’s funny and entertaining. I watch it quite a bit now. Some episodes aren’t as good as others but that is true with any show. I like this show because …
