Dora the Explorer is a great childrens cartoon on Nick Jr. My three year old is in love with Dora and her monkey side kick, Boots. This is one cartoon that actually keeps her attention. It is set to get the kids interacting and learning at the same time. …

Jennifer Hudson: Christmas was this American Idol alum’s first TV special. I liked it, somewhat, but was also disappointed. Hudson has one dynamo voice. It’s full of power, but I felt like she tried to jazz everything up too much, or to put that whole black …

Recently, NBC hosted a four-part program hosted by Nick Lachey where different amateur acapella groups performed. These groups had to essentially sing and make their own music. In other words, it had to sound like there was a band, when there really wasn’t.
The show was a variation …

Watch What Happens: Live is new to the Bravo Channel in 2009 and personally, I think it needs to go away and be a memory. I just wasn’t impressed at all by what I saw. The only reason I tuned in was to see who the Top …

Apollo Wives aired on the BBC surprisingly and covered a reunion of Apollo astronaut wives in Arizona. I’ve watched a bunch of astronaut related programs over the years and this one was very different.
My chief criticism off the bat is that they didn’t identify who was talking as …

The second night of The Sing-Off brought us more acapella numbers from diverse groups throughout the country. I lament that the program wasn’t aired live and instead was taped. It really took away from that spontaneous feel.
Noteworthy tried to perform a song by Cold Play, but it …

Frankly, I’ve never heard of Anuna in my life, but as I was doing some TV surfing, I ran across this show called Anuna: Christmas Memories. Apparently, it was made in 2008 and Anuna is an Irish group. It sounds like they are headed up by a …

Frosty’s Winter Wonderland is the sequel to the ever popular kids’ classic, Frosty the Snowman. Andy Griffith is the host, animated to tell the story. It’s a very good likeness and Griffith is a terrific singer, which I think some people forget. He sings here and …

While roaming the channels over the holidays to find something interesting to watch, I landed upon Ghostbusters Christmas, which I’d never seen. This is an animated program based on the popular science fiction movie. The best part for me was just hearing the rocking Ghostbusters theme, which …

This animated tale, The Night Before Christmas, is not to be confused with the traditional Father Mouse story of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. This is another tale that is more current, in the computer age, in fact, though it does still include a mouse family, only these …

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas is narrated by Kelsey Grammer. From 1999, it’s a trio of tales that entertain as well as teach children some lesson about Christmas and life.
The first story is Stuck on Christmas and focuses on Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Donald’s three rambunctious nephews. …

Rudolph’s Shiny New Year is another classic Rankin and Bass animated production. It’s the sequel to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and it does include the traditional song that we all know and love. This story actually continues later that night, after Santa has returned from delivering all …

Twas the Night Before Christmas is the classic holiday tale as told by Father Mouse, better known as George Gobel. Father Mouse has a geeky mouse son, Albert, who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus. He wrote a letter that upsets Santa Claus and results in all the …

One of the newer animated tales that airs on the networks during Christmastime is called Prep and Landing and features the voice of Dave Foley. I’m not a big fan of Foley’s per se, but I was bored so decided to see what this fairly new show was …

The story of how Santa became the jolly figure we know today is told in the classic animated tale, Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town. This is another of my all-time holiday favorites. I watch it at least twice every season, if not more. The story …

From the first season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Christmas Story is a show I must watch every year at least three or four times. I love it that much, and it just isn’t Christmas without seeing this wonderful episode of this down home comedy show.
Andy Griffith and …

With the success of Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas a few years earlier, in 2004, viewers were given Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas, a compilation of several short animated stories that focus on the holidays. They entertain and delight, and they teach valuable lessons of living that apply …

This year, I watched a lot of shows I’ve never watched before. I’m not sure why, but I did a lot of channel surfing and found myself watching a few religious oriented channels that I’ve never tuned into before. It wasn’t the sermons I was viewing, but …

After watching what is obviously an older TV event called Christmas with the Stars, I did some research and it seems that this is probably an edited version of another holiday programming from years ago. It’s really odd how the show is altered and renamed. It must …

In 1983 Jeff was a very popular guy who won a competition in a Missile Command game playing. The host at the competition asked him what was next for Jeff and he replied that he couldn’t decide because there were so many tasty options. In 2008 after obviously have …

Warehouse 13 is a science fiction show presented by Scy-Fy channel.
This episode was about one amazing artefact which made people feel loved. It was actually a musical piece written buy an ill composer, Marsden who is dying of liver cancer.
Someone is robbing banks and the people who were …

“Drive”, the season seven episode of “Star Trek: Voyager”, is Star Trek’s one and only “space race” themed episode to date, and unfortunately, it is neither exciting or intense - two qualities that I associate with racing. Granted, it is difficult to do a race in space that is …

I got home in time last night to watch some re-runs of That 70s Show, including one I haven’t seen before; Backstage Pass.
This one was actually a pretty funny episode; well at least part of it was.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the part involving the friends trying to …

Hey, another episode of That 70s Show that I haven’t seen before; Celebration Day.
I have seen plenty of episodes that took place after this one, but it is the first time I got to see the episode that pretty much changed the entire plot of the series.
Basically, you have …

My daughter and I ended up sitting down to watch a re-run of The Simpsons last night entitled The Mook, The Chef, The Wife and Her Homer. I have seen bits and pieces of this one before but last night was the first time I finally got to watch …

My husband began watching Torchwood reruns on the internet awhile back. I am not really into sci-fi television, but I do like this show. It is about a special ops team that deals with aliens and alien artifacts. They also deal with a rift that allows things from the …

One of my Christmas presents this year was the first season of the show Psych (my wife bought it for me but I picked it out). Because of that, I was finally able to watch the series pilot again; something I saw a long time ago but it hasn’t …

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 …

We spent a great deal of time watching Christmas episodes of various shows last week; including the one on Emperor’s New School: A Giftmas Story.
This one actually proved to be one of the funnier ones.
Since this show takes place in a part of the world that hadn’t discovered Jesus …

I ended up finishing my Psych mini-marathon last night by watching the season 1 episode “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me; Oops, He’s Dead.” Yes, I know that’s a long title for an episode (something that is somewhat common with this series), but it turned …

I ended up watching another Psych episode I never saw before; From Earth to the Starbucks. It was funny at times, but I have to say it wasn’t the best episode I’ve watched.
Lassiter is feeling down in the dumps a bit and Shawn decides to work a case involving …

During my Psych mini-marathon before bed last night, I came across an episode I hadn’t seen before; Forget Me Not. This one turned out to be an interesting case for Shawn and Gus.
The two are hired by his dad’s former captain, who believes he has solved a murder. However, …

Well, at least after watching the previous episode of Psych, which I didn’t feel was as good as others that I have seen from the series, I was able to watch one that was somewhat better; Shawn versus the Red Phantom.
When I saw the title, I wasn’t really sure …

I ended up watching a bunch of Psych episodes before bed last night (it was a late night for us because of the baby). One of them, “Who Ya Going to Call” was a bit on the predictable side.
Shawn and Gus are hired by a guy who thinks he …

This episode was supposed to be very tense and very unpredictable but it wasn’t.
Original time line: North Korea lunches a test missile and all the nuclear units in the USA are alerted, but the Koreans inform America that the missile is just a test and the alert ends. …

This was an episode that kind a wanted to present agent Sarah as a person with a past not just as this insensitive government agent. Unfortunately they couldn’t get me interested in her and I find the story kind a superficial.
We see a girl returning home and seeing police …

The second season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, titled “Samaritan Snare” has a few comical moments to it, but ultimately, the episode is a real mess. By mess, I mean the story is pretty weak and implausible and even boring. In this episode, the Enterprise answers a …

Goliath and his crew end up back in the present and land in Prague. It’s here that they run into Renard, who Goliath still believes to be a friend. That impression is somewhat staled as Renard brushes Goliath off and tells him to go away.
Meanwhile, a young rabbi …

The Star Trek: Voyager episode, “Critical Care” is easily one of my favorites of the series because it tackles a very serious and real issue: rationing healthcare. In this episode, the Doctor is kidnapped and sold to a world where a computer determines who gets what care based on …

Like I mentioned in another review, I ended up watching a couple more episodes of the show Psych before bed last night. One of those episodes was a half-way funny episode entitled “Weekend Warriors.”
This one has Shawn and Gus posing as Civil War reenactors after someone appears to be …

I ended up watching a couple more episodes of the show Psych last night before bed; including the one entitled 9 Lives. This one proved to be a decent episode, even though the cat Shawn pretends to talk to doesn’t really have as big of a role in the …

We’ve been watching a lot of Christmas specials on TV the past couple of days and came across one I hadn’t seen before; even though it has been out for some time.
At first, I thought A Jetson’s Christmas Carol would end up being a predictable and boring story. I …

My all-day Psych marathon today resulted in me seeing an episode I haven’t seen before (and I thought I saw every episode of this show so far); Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Piece.
This was a great episode too. Shawn and Gus end up being invited to a fancy …

I’m inside today with a sick child and sick wife so I’m having a marathon of sorts by watching old Psych episodes. This included the season 1 episode “Spellingg Bee.”
This was a good episode for a couple reasons. First, I like how they introduce Lassiter’s new partner by having …

This is a Science fiction show about a backstep project and Frank Parker who travels seven days back in time to fix things that went wrong or to stop people who did something very bad.
Parker is back to his old mental hospital. He is under cover because he needs …

I’ve seen the Psych episode “Woman Seeking Dead Husband-Smokers OK, No Pets,” once before. But, it was some time ago (when it first was aired) and I didn’t remember a whole lot about it. So, I got a chance to watch it and found it was
fantastic.
This episode had Shawn …

The Simpsons are a Classic example of an American Dysfunctional Family. Every family has it’s weird quirks, and family members. My family is very dysfunctional too. What is a Dysfunctional family? A dysfunctional family is a family with misbehavior, Conflict, and Sometimes abuse. Personally I think just about every …

My youngest daughter was up extremely early this morning (probably thinking today was Christmas morning or something). So, we ended up watching early morning television. Not wanting an infomerical, I put on Happy Days and watched the episode entitled Howdy Doody.
I’m too young to remember the Howdy Doody show …

If you ever wondered how it would be if you could relive your last 7 days again, this show is just the right one for you. Frank Parker, the main character, does it all the time, he travels back in time to save the world.
This episode is about …

This was a rather good episode, very interesting and totally into the lives of movie stars. We even managed to see a bit more about Drama who is treated here as a star. I likes this episode a lot. The fact that they ended up on Bono’s concert didn’t …
