That Girl: My Part Belongs to Daddy
The most disappointing thing about season four’s That Girl: My Part Belongs to Daddy is that for just about the first time, or maybe just the second, they used an interior car scene that was clearly done on the stage. In the past, they’ve done more location shoots …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Nightmares
Nobody likes nightmares so the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Nightmares is a great episode to watch if you like being creeped out a bit.
This one, again, doesn’t involve vampires. But, it does involve a kid in a coma who has an out of body experience and brings his …
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 …

South Park - Eat, Pray, Expell Air
First, I don’t know if the last word of this title was offensive or might have been thought of sensitive, so I just cut it out of the title and the rest of the review. If you have seen the episode, you will understand what the word is, so …
Entourage season 2 episode 3 Aquamansion
If you want to see the luxury of the life in Hollywood then this show is just the right one for you, and this episode is really the best way to present the perks of Hollywood. The episode was very sexy but also very funny and I guess there’s …

Remember the TV sitcom years before, Dharma & Greg? I love this TV sitcom very much and have been missing it since. I wonder why there’s no more of this sitcom.

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 …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Beer Bad
You know, I normally like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but some episodes, like “Beer Bad” are just so stupid, you almost hate to admit you watch the show.
I get the whole point of the episode. The writers want to show the dangers of under aged drinking in a form …
Iron Chef TV show
The Japanese show “The Iron Chef” has become so widely popular that it has even spawned an American version that has contributed greatly to the Food Network’s success. I won’t dwell on the American version, but rather on the original dubbed over Japanese version of the show, which …
Stargate SG-1: The Serpent’s Lair

Extant TV Show Season Two, Episode Morphoses
Morphoses is the second episode in the second season of Extant. One that I was eager to watch after getting off to a great start in the previous episode. My review will contain spoilers.

Here Come the Brides: Marriage, Chinese Style
Here Come the Brides: Marriage, Chinese Style was an interesting show. It actually got me thinking about just how varied Here Come the Brides was. I’ve never thought about this before. In this first season, this family drama had shows which discussed and featured the Jewish …
Stargate SG-1: Spirits
Love it, love it, love it! That’s how I describe my feelings towards Stargate SG-1: Spirits. This second season episode doesn’t get a lot of acclaim, but it’s been a hit with me from the first time I saw it.
The opening scene catches us off guard with …

A well written Episode of a great show. In addition to the usual crime solving and mystery story, this one also features Kid Rock as himself. The show starts with his performance and that really pumps the energy right from …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Out of Mind, Out of Sight
So far, watching re-runs of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer every night has revealed two things about the show. First, Sarah Michelle Gellar is hot. Second, for every good episode of the series, there is at least two bad episodes.
The episode out of mind, out of sight was one …

It’s another two-part episode for this hit comedy series. That Girl: I Didn’t Have the Vegas Notion Part 1 has Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) co-starring in a play in Las Vegas, so Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) goes with her for the opening night. It starts out with …
Stargate SG-1: Rite of Passage
Stargate SG-1: Rite of Passage from the fifth season brings back the character of Cassandra, the alien child from season one’s Singularity, who was adopted by Doctor Janet Fraiser. While I love seeing Cassandra in a new episode, the original actress was unavailable and they chose to recast …
Sanford & Son (TV sitcom)
If you were alive and kicking in the 1970s, you will certainly remember this show, featuring one of the grouchiest men of all time - Fred Sanford. I found this program really funny because it was set at a junkyard. That was a very different setting for …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Way Home TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Way Home aired in February 1961 and featured a really nice guest cast which helped to elevate the show in overall success.

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, …
White Collar
Since Psych is in its mid-season break right now, my wife and I took the time to watch the series premiere of the show White Collar on Friday night.
It was much better than expected but there are some things I would definitely change.
The series, which is about a white …
Alphas: Pilot Episode
I don’t usually watch or read science fiction; I find that far too often, the genre relies almost entirely on an idea for a science fiction story, book, or movie. This idea is often intriguing, but unfortunately in production falls short by using stock, one-dimensional, uninteresting characters with unpronounceable …
Dora the Explorer TV Episode: Dora Saves Three Kings Day
I came home for lunch today and my youngest daughter was watching Dora the Explorer on TV. Since it had been a while since I watched this show (my oldest daughter used to watch it religiously until she outgrew it), I decided to take some time and watch it …
Surviving the Cut: Navy EOD TV Show
I definitely enjoy the Surviving the Cut. It educates the everyday viewer about the military elite and all that they have to do to get there. Well, not all because actually some of it is classified. The cameras frequently have to shut off to avoid showing …
Biography Channel
I just love this channel! Actually this is a new additional channel from our cable television service provider. At first, I thought it was a quite boring channel because I had the idea that it only shows people in the past and, what do I …
Doctor Who season 2 episode 2 Tooth and Claw
Isn’t it really great when English reality or past get involved in this show? I really like that. This episode is about Queen Victoria and her visit to Balmoral. She comes to the house of an old friend of her dead husband but strange things are going on. There …
MSNTV 2
This unit is definitely way better than the previous WebTv. Don’t get me wrong, I still have my old WebTv. The only reason I keep it is for nostalgia, not usability. It is still too slow. I was able to connect my MSNTV 2 to my broadband network …
The Punisher, Season 1 (2017, Netflix Web Tv Show)

Jack Frost cartoon
Jack Frost was another vintage cartoon that I saw recently. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite as enamored with it as I thought I might have been. I love all kinds of holiday films, and it wasn’t that the story wasn’t good as that it wasn’t as complete as …
House: Instant Karma
Well, last night’s episode wasn’t as good as expected but it was still an OK episode.
House is still back but without a license. But, that doesn’t stop a billionaire from insisting he treat his dying son; who he believes is sick because he was rewarded with the ability to …
Chopped (reality competition)
This is a really interesting show in that it’s very quick. The contestants come in, and one of them is “chopped” after each course until one is left standing. This cooking show is great because there is a time element at each stage. There is …
Scrubs: Our Couples
2 funny episodes in a row. I’m going to go ahead and take that as a good sign. It took a while, but these characters are starting to step up. Oh, I doubt they’ll ever be as great as the original crew, but no show has …
