The X-Files Red Museum Episode
I thought this episode of the popular 90s television show “The X-Files” was one of the more interesting ones which I think I could watch again. In fact, I didn’t find it creepy or overly weird but I just thought that the plot itself was interesting, so when I …

Highway Patrol: Stolen Plane Copter TV Show
I’ve said it before, and I may just say it again, but it amazes me how many shows of Highway Patrol revolve around the helicopter. The actual ‘copter’ word is used in numerous titles throughout the series’ run. I suppose in the late 50’s when this show …

Whatever You Like (song by rapper T.I.)
When I first heard this song, I thought it was quite ignorant. And then the beat and the hook caught me. It wasn’t until I’d heard it about three or four times that I started to like the song. And then after that, I realized …
Beast Wars - Nemesis Part One
Beast Wars - Nemesis Part One is the first part of the series finale. For the most part, this episode is entertaining and delivers on its build-up with one of the series’ most chilling cliffhangers: the raising of the Decepticon battleship from deep within the ocean. At the helm: …
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 2
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 2 continues where the first part left off, and in this episode, despite the best efforts of Airazor and Tigertron, it is Blackarachnia that reaches the structure on the floating island first and begins to explore it. She begins to realize the potential …
NCIS TV series
NCIS is a show on CBS that—˜s a spin off of JAG. It’s one of those crime and forensic type show but it’s angle is military and naval related. NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. I have to admit that I really didn’t tune into this show until …
Star Trek the Next Generation TV Episode: Hollow Pursuits
Last night, I was flipping through channels on TV and came across a Star Trek the Next Generation episode that is among my favorites from the series (at least of the ones I have actually watched); Hollow Pursuits.
I like this episode for a couple of reasons. First, it has …
Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding
I love Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding very much. Every wedding has their own religion and tradition, and I’m not caring about that in this episode. In fact, I am so in awe of Phoebe’s dress, she looks so gorgeous and the ideology that she just wants a nice …
The King of Queens TV Show
This show just really grew on me. It started out that my boyfriend would always put it on. But now I’m the one whose always looking through the television to see if it is on. It is one of those shows where you think you can do your homework …
The Flintstones: Reel Trouble
I upgraded my Direct TV package yesterday and, as a result, was able to get a channel that was showing Flintstone’s cartoons. The one that was on last night was called Reel Trouble and was actually kind of cute.

The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 22: F. Emasculata
This episode had a lot going for it. You had escaped convicts, a deadly virus, a government cover up, all the makings of a blockbuster mini-movie. Yet somehow, the whole was less than the sum of its parts.
I was going to nitpick the idea that …

Diagnosis Murder: The Bela Lugosi Blues TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: The Bela Lugosi Blues should have been a show that aired in the month of October instead of in January, which it did in 1995, which was about midway through the medical and police drama’s second season. The title alone suggests that it’s an eerie outing, …

The Tyra Banks Show

I Love Lucy (TV series) - The Diet (Episode)
“The Diet” is an episode of “I Love Lucy”. Like some episodes of “I Love Lucy”, the episode itself is extremely enjoyable, but unfortunately, the writers do something that contradicts either something that happened earlier or later in the series. It kind of takes away some of the realism …
Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods - final cut DVD
The Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods - final cut has three things going for it, and just three things.

The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 23: Soft Light
While this isn’t exactly what people mean when someone says that a person is afraid of their own shadow, the phrase still remains apt here when talking about Dr. Barton (a scientist who got bombarded with dark matter in an accident), and with good reason. This episode is …
Xena Warrior Princess
I think that Xena Warrior Princess is a pretty good show. I have always thought it was kind of funny, yet it was still a good show. The thing I liked about the show was that Xena was very strong for a woman. And she always would fight both men …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Lessons
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Lessons” is an episode that on some levels I really like, but the way in which the episode is handled overall bothers me. In this episode, Captain Picard begins to develop feelings for a new officer and as they begin to explore their …
Anime: Shakugan no Shana, Season One
I recently bought the complete collection of Shakugan no Shana season one. As a devoted anime fan, it takes quite a bit to really impress me. “Impress” is not strong enough of a word to describe my reaction to Shakugan no Shana. It has instantly displaced Bleach, Naruto, Buso …
New Girl ‘Road Trip’, TV Show
New week and a new episode of New Girl, this one is entitled Road Trip. I am really excited about it. The creators of this show always find a way to make trivial things sound hilarious. For those who do not watch this show, New girl is a sit-com …

The Simpson’s: Great Wife Hope
I haven’t watched too many new episodes of the Simpson’s lately so I didn’t realize last night’s episode Great Wife Hope, was a repeat rather than a new episode (I looked it up this morning).
In any case, it really wasn’t as good of an episode as I thought it …
Lost (tv show)
I was trying to avoid watching Lost for the longest time, to avoid getting sucked into yet another television program that everyone in the world is watching and talking about. Circumstances, however, lead me to view the program once, and now, yes, I am hooked. Not only …
The Middle TV Show Season 1 Episode 22 “Mother’s Day”
As a mother this episode really resonated with me. The whole episode was about mother’s day and how a father’s perception about the day is different than what a mother wants and how father’s day is fantastic but mother’s day tends to fall flat.
This episode was …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 14: Knock, Knock
Man, I wanted to like this episode more than I did. It wasn’t bad per se, but it had everything going for it, yet the end result was still only passable. Straczynski was writing it, it centered on an ancient world threatening evil, and Slimer had only …
$40 a Day with Rachel Ray
The Food Network is one of my favorite channels and when you combine food with travel, it is a double whammy of entertainment. In $40 a Day, Rachel Ray takes us around the world to some of the hottest tourist spots - the Florida Keys, LA, Miami, Paris, Rome, …
Men of a Certain Age
I heard a lot of hype about Men of a Certain Age. Ray Romano is the primary star and there was a ton of publicity about his return to television in this show. In my opinion, he should have kept the old show going.
One of the reasons …
The Virginian: Duel at Shiloh
The Virginian: Duel at Shiloh from season one guest stars Brian Keith, who was always fun to watch on screen. The episode also features Geraldine Brooks as the new owner of a ranch near Medicine Bow, where the story takes place. As a woman, she faces a …
