Here Come the Brides: A Christmas Place
Here Come the Brides: A Christmas Place is a huge favorite show of mine. It has such heart that it fills my soul. It’s really well done. However, there is a continuity error. The second show of the series was all about the brides demanding …

For Warrick Episode
I finished watching the latest season of CSI: Las Vegas season 9, first episode entitled,
“For Warrick”. I could not believe it myself that they have actually killed Warrick’s character in this series. I have like seen him in all of the episodes of the CSI Las Vegas. He was …
Dharma & Greg
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.

The final show of the eighth season, and the last one to feature more than 20 episodes, is M*A*S*H: April Fools. Though it’s only March, the 4077th has begun its pranks early. All of these are pretty funny. However, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) asks his …
Thriller: A Third for Pinochle TV Show
When Thriller: A Third for Pinochle began, I had visions of this show being a copy of Arsenic and Old Lace, but it wasn’t. Certainly, it had some of that attitude and feel because of the two elderly sisters featured in the hour long drama, but there’s really …
Life on Mars Season 1 Episode 1 Out Here in the Fields
The episode starts in a really interesting way, not because of the event that takes place but what’s interesting is the dialogue between the 2 protagonists. This is the first episode of this show and the producers want us to remember the names of the characters so as they …
Sea Hunt: Diving for the Moon TV Show
Sea Hunt: Diving for the Moon aired on February 15, 1959, and I mention the year specifically because the show dealt with the training of four men who are in the astronaut program. The show actually opens with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing his narration about how …
MacGyver: Rock the Cradle
Bruce McGill might as well have been added to the opening credits of MacGyver in the third season. He was on the show all the time, including this entry called Rock the Cradle. This time, Jack has roped Mac into helping with Dalton Air. That doesn’t …
The Office: Weight Loss

The Simpsons: Million Dollar Abie
I have only seen the first part of the Simpsons episode Million Dollar Abie so I was glad to be able to watch the entire thing yesterday afternoon. It turned out to be pretty good.

That ’70s Show
That ’70s Show is a really good show. It’s also amazing that is was on the air from 1998 until 2006. This makes it a very long lasting TV show. I think the idea and concept of the TV show is great. I like how they made a show that …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Darling Baby TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Darling Baby aired in December 1964 and continued the saga of the popular Darling family. Once again, I have to say that I am not a huge fan of this story arc, but it is quite popular with fans of this highly successful …
The Ultimate Coyote Ugly Search on CMT
This is not the greatest show on television but I am so addicted I can’t help it. I think it’s actually a pretty good reality show. It’s such a ‘chick’ show. Although I think that my fiance watches it with me because the women are hot lmao.
I really, really …
Adam-12: Log 76: The Militants
Adam-12: Log 76: The Militants is a rather serious episode of this thirty-minute police drama from the mind of Jack Webb. It begins with the shooting of a police officer and a black militant. It becomes a circus and one of those politically hyped stories where no …
Legend: Bone of Contention
The eighth episode of Richard Dean Anderson’s Legend TV series is called Bone of Contention, and apparently Pratt (Anderson) does sometimes get the girl, since that’s how the show opens. Actually, it’s a nice bit where Pratt is visualizing the climax of one of his novels. This …

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Shadow Women of Chung Tai
It’s yet another romance for Frank Buck in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Shadow Women of Chung Tai. I doubt the real Frank Buck had a girl popping out of the woodwork every other week. Bruce Boxleitner fans may like it, but I’ve never liked
the notion of …
Simpsons: Little Orphan Millie
I hadn’t seen the Simpsons episode “Little Orphan Millie” before tonight and have to say it was pretty good.
This one focuses on Millhouse more than other episodes. His parents, who went through a bitter divorce in earlier seasons, get back together and re-marry. But, on their honeymoon, they fall …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.15: Desert Cantos
“Desert Cantos” isn’t as bad as “Alpine Fields” or “Earthlings Welcome Here” but it isn’t as good as say “The Good Wound”, it is a rather ‘tame’ follow-up to that latter episode though. Following the destruction of the covert factory in the middle of nowhere, a company funeral is …
Benjamin Bratt on Ellen Talk Show Episode
The episode which featured Benjamin Bratt on Ellen Talk Show was quite alright but I was hoping for a more better looking Benjamin Bratt. His look was very messy and unkempt and how I wished he looked like in his younger days whereby he has this jet black hair, …
Judge Judy
I just adore Judge Judy. She is a real Judge called Judith Sheindlin who, in this show, presides over real cases from the small claims court. The show has been running from 1996 and is still being made and in every episode we see two or three …

Bones: The Dentist in the Ditch
That was a somewhat interesting episode of Bones last night, the Dentist in the Ditch.
Basically, there is a Civil War reenactment and, while a couple feuding actors start digging into a creek bed, they come across a skeleton. At first, it is believed to be the body of a …
M*A*S*H: What’s Up, Doc?
M*A*S*H: What’s Up, Doc? is remembered most for me because of the threat to one of Radar O’Reilly’s pet bunnies. Hawkeye and Margaret want to conduct a pregnancy test, and at first, they don’t care that doing that test would result in the death of Radar’s Fluffy.
The thing …
Joey Tribbiani
As much as you would like to knock Joey Tribbiani on the head most of the time, you can’t help feeling a bit of love for him. He is the struggling actor in the hit series sitcom Friends, which is not in the making anymore. Such a pity, …
Red Dwarf TV show
Even after well over a decade since it was last on our screens, apart from a rather badly conceived “Back to Earth” special shown in 2009, Red Dwarf remains - at least as far as I am concerned - the greatest of all science fiction sitcoms. The BBC stuck …
Undercover Boss Australia: Veloia TV Show
Undercover Boss Australia featured the top man at the Veloia company. This was the 2nd show of the first season for the down under edition and it features Peter Murray, Director of Operations for this waste management and environmental services company.
One thing I noticed in the premier and …
MacGyver: Soft Touch
Teri Hatcher makes her second appearance on MacGyver in this episode called Soft Touch. While men may be beguiled by the smiling Penny Parker, she still just frustrates me. She’s a ditz, and I can’t stand how her ineptitude continues to get Mac into all kinds of …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Lady of the Fifth Moon TV Show
For its 29th episode of season 6, Have Gun - Will Travel presents a very poetic show called The Lady of the Fifth Moon. I have a few thoughts about this episode, and they follow.
–This episode is just strewn with words of whimsy and love’s poems. It …
Gossip Girl
This is actually a television series that both of the two room mates that I have had absolutely loved. They just had to watch it, so if I was in the room then I was watching it too. Honestly, it’s addicting but for all the wrong reasons. These days, …
Jennifer Hudson / Dreamgirls
I am not sorry to admit that I am a fan of most reality shows. Although, lately the only shows I tend to watch is American Idol, Supernanny and sometimes Deal or no Deal. Last year Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia was and still is my favourite finalists. …
TV show The Office
The Office is my favorite show on network television. The entire case is great! At first, I thought that Steve Carell just dominated the series with his portrayal of the bumbling office manager Michael Scott. Carell’s sense of comic timing is superb. Most all the …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 3 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell Episode Stand Alone Complex 3 begins with a strange series of events where a discontinued robot model, called the Jeri models, all begin committing suicide. These models were made to be human companions and Section 9 investigates because it’s very odd.

The Catherine Tate Show (BBC)
It took me a while to realise how funny Catherine Tate is and how good her sketch show is. I only started watching it when the UK nation was already quoting her ‘Lauren’ character and saying “I ain’t bovvered” at every opportunity. I have grown to really …
