The Practice: Brothers' Keepers (2000) Season 5, Episode 7

Unimpartial jury

[8/10 · 6 May 2024]

Normally I would be sickened about all the prejudice in the Court room when you see the prosecution of that Pakistani man. But when you hear how his wife was ruthlessly murdered in Pakistan by his own brother in an honor killing and that he just let him get away with it especially when he could have had him hung it also completely sickened me.

Someone had to pay for that crime so I didn't care that even the Judge was also being prejudice to Bobby's client. So it felt so good to hear the Forman of the Jury say that they all found him Guilty on both counts of murder.

I just wish they would continue to find what punishment was awaiting at his sentencing.

Boston Legal: The Nutcrackers (2006) Season 3, Episode 10

Slippery Slope

[9/10 · 18 April 2023]

I have to admit it does sicken me how Katey and Lauren Tanner are being raised by white supremacist but I also have to agree that the parents have the right to home school them they way they want to as long as they are not being abused. So the sister had no right to just to think that she could get a lawyer and sue to take custody of her Nieces. Because if the sister won soon anyone would be able to take children away from their natural parents and raise them how they feel they should. Also her Nieces would have alway hated her for taking them away from their parents and they would have made her life miserable.

M*A*S*H: Temporary Duty (1978) Season 6, Episode 21

New Show!

[8/10 · 15 March 2022]

I thought George Lindsey was great Capt. Roy Dupree! Producers should have looked beyond his former character Goober Pyle from Mayberry. I think they should have given Lindsey a part on Trapper John, M. D. as Dr. Roy Dupree.

He would added some more comic relief to the show!

Monday After the Miracle (1998 TV Movie)

Hypocrites!

[8/10 · 15 March 2022]

At first it was really great to see how everyone in Helen's life wants her to become a well educated Independent young woman. Helen then goes to Radcliffe College, to get a Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude in 1904, the first deaf-blind person to do so.

But when Helen meets Peter Fagan who became her private secretary, they fall in love and they want to get Married, everyone in her family including her teacher Anne Sullivan say no.

It really sickened me how they all quickly turned on Helen when she fell in love with Peter.

Picket Fences: Heroes and Villains (1995) Season 3, Episode 16

A Mockery of Justice!

[4/10 · 31 January 2022]

I just couldn't stand how Laurie Bey (The Dancing Bandit) completely ruined the Brock family with her romantic escapades of Bank robbing to point where Zachary becomes her friend and his mother won't testify against her in Court. Even though she was there when Bey with her gang robbed their Bank and just danced as if there was nothing wrong with what they did.

It sickened me to see that she was hero to so many people when she was really nothing but a Criminal!

Picket Fences: Dante's Inferno (1996) Season 4, Episode 16

Impeach The Bimbo!

[8/10 · 28 January 2022]

I have to admit I was on Chuck Dante side because Maxine was completely abusing her power and she enjoyed it! Mayor Laurie Bey should have appointed Carter Pike as acting Mayor.

So I enjoyed hearing Chuck Dante go at Maxine with his radio show shouting Impeach The Bimbo even to the point where she was finally shot by one of the small store owners of Rome.

The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: The Last Labor of Hercules (1968) Season 1, Episode 6

Awww Cerberus is a Puppy!

[5/10 · 14 September 2021]

I thought it was very touching how they made Cerberus come over and give Huckleberry, Tom and Becky a simultaneous lick like he was loving puppy dog!

The Smurfs: Fuzzle Trouble/Smurfette's Dancing Shoes (1981) Season 1, Episode 25

Smurfette'S Dancing Shoes

[9/10 · 29 August 2021]

I can't understand why that Imp just took the 3 things the Smurfs brought him back from Dreadful Hollow and let Smurfette go? All he really wanted was the abandoned treasure of the Ancient Trolls.

I would loved to have seen spirit of Ancient Trolls reaction when the Imp brought him the 3 items he demanded and have to relinquish the treasure to him.

Star Trek: The Savage Curtain (1969) Season 3, Episode 22

Aliens Power?

[9/10 · 27 August 2021]

What I would have liked to have know was how were the molten rock creatures going to give those notorious historical villains Ghengis Khan, Colonel Green, Zora and the Klingon Kahless the Unforgettable the power they wanted so much?

The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones (1987 TV Movie)

Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm?

[7/10 · 19 August 2021]

I think the movie would have been even better if they had included teen-age Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm. I bet Judy would not only become fast friends with them but Penny, Wiggy and Moonrock as well as the rest of the Bedrock bunch.

CSI: Miami: Gone Baby Gone (2008) Season 7, Episode 8

Insane Kidnapper

[10/10 · 10 August 2021]

That Photographer was insane to think he could just kidnap a baby girl weather or not he's the father and live happily ever after! They will keep searching and since there was a ransom paid that makes it a Federal offense which is punishable by life in prison. Even his sister wouldn't protect him, she would be the first one to turn him! Because if she didn't that would be Aiding and Abetting a felon which could also get her thrown into prison.

The Love Boat: The Brotherhood of the Sea/Letter to Babycakes/Daddy's Pride (1979) Season 3, Episode 12

Little Pest!

[8/10 · 29 July 2021]

I thought the kid Kevin was a little pest for interfering with life of Mr. Berrett and his daughter Penny. Okay Mr. Berrett was training daughter hard but what does Kevin know when he's only a child himself and where is his parents?

Fantasy Island: Midnight Waltz/Let Them Eat Cake (1983) Season 6, Episode 13

Love is beautiful!

[9/10 · 24 July 2021]

The "Midnight Waltz" alway's brings tears to my eyes when I see Mrs. Cook appear on the dance floor to husband Mr. Cook saying "Happy Anniversary." It's beautiful to see two people who still love each other after so many years dancing to their favorite song on their 39th Anniversary.

That was a very touching fantasy.

Fantasy Island: We're Not Worthy (1998) Season 1, Episode 3

Beauty is in eye of the beholder

[8/10 · 21 July 2021]

It makes you think how want to be in those exclusive clubs but you get to see how shallow the people are who come there. That jerk Matt was a vainglorious piece of work! All Matt did when he was with a beautiful woman was complain about her smallest flaw!

Matt would willing dump any woman who he was with for another he thought was more beautiful without any regrets.

Runaway on Rogue River (1974 TV Movie)

A boy and his elephant

[9/10 · 6 July 2021]

I thought it was touching how Barney and Jeff just seem to bond immediately when they first meet. You almost hope Jeff could keep him since he begin to love Barney so much.

Without a Trace: Safe (2005) Season 4, Episode 2

Missing Trial

[9/10 · 6 July 2021]

What I wanted to have seen most was a trial where Lance and Charlie are charged for the kidnapping and torture of their fellow student Ryan.

I really hate bullies so I would have loved to have seen them go to trail with Jury who may have also been bullied in High School. They will want to have the book thrown at them both.

Kelly Kelly (1998)

Under Rated Show

[9/10 · 21 June 2021]

I think they should have given them a fair chance by letting them have a couple of full season. I loved the part where Kelly Novak first meets Fireman Doug's family. It was very touching that his son Brian already wanted to call Mommy even though his daughter Maureen rejected her as a possible step mother.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Hate (2004) Season 5, Episode 13

Mixed Emotions!

[8/10 · 20 June 2021]

I think I can understand why Sean Webster is full of so much hatred. Growing up without a father is very hard on children especially when they've been told they died fighting for their country in Afghanistan. Then to be a single mother is never easy even with people living on welfare, so no wonder Sean's mother was so bitter

Also with all the stories Sean's mother must told him about Muslims, 9-11 and that his father dying in Afghanistan no wonder he became Xenophobic. He must have loved his father but then to find out that he is alive and he left them for a Afghani woman no wonder Sean went over the edge with his monomaniacal hatred of Muslims.

I know what Sean did was sickening but what his father did was also wrong. I never liked anyone who would leave their family for another woman!

It was also partially Seth Webster fault because his family needed him and he just selfishly turned his back on them and left!

Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle: Tarzan and the Island of Dr. Morphos (1978) Season 3, Episode 6

Another Mad Scientist!

[8/10 · 17 June 2021]

I have to admit when I was a kid this episode really freaked me out with all of Dr. Morphos insane creations. What made it even more scary was that they could talk. I kept wondering what he was going to change Tarzan into.

The ending for Dr. Morphos I know is supposed to be poetic but it still scared me.

Law & Order (1990– )

E.A.D.A. Jack McCoy vs. Douglas Wambaugh

[10/10 · 2 June 2021]

I always loved watching all the Lawyers who went up Jack McCoy and their different styles that they used to try to defeat him at Trail. I was hoping it would go on at least another 5 years so it would beat Gunsmoke.

But what I was really hoping is that Fyvush Finkel (a.k.a. Douglas Wambaugh) would make a guest Star appearance so he go up against Jack McCoy!

I loved watching him perform on "Picket Fences"! Wambaugh had the most unique style of practicing law.

It would have been great to see if Jack McCoy could handle Douglas Wambaugh in the Courtroom. Also could the Judge stand him?

Law & Order: Blood (1997) Season 8, Episode 7

Different Ending?

[9/10 · 2 June 2021]

I just couldn't help but wonder what would have been the out come of the Trial if Frances Houston had called Jack McCoy's bluff about her divorce and her Husband's alimony agreement?

Dinky Dog: Dinky and the Caveman/Rinky Dinky (1978) Season 1, Episode 9

A dog and his boy!

[8/10 · 24 May 2021]

I thought it very touching how cavebaby and Dinky immediately bonded. I loved how the kid just jumped on Dinky's back then the big dog reared, neighed and galloped off with him like a horse.

You could tell that kid was willing to go where ever Dinky went.

BraveStarr: Who Am I? (1987) Season 1, Episode 23

Vipra Great Villainess

[8/10 · 10 May 2021]

I think Vipra did great job as head villain since she succeeded where Tex Hex has failed. Not only did Stampede make Vipra leader of the outlaw gang but she was able to take over New Texas.

What I think Vipra should have done was made 30/30 transform back into his quadruped form and rode him into New Texas.

The Magical World of Disney: Runaway on the Rogue River (1974) Season 21, Episode 9

A Boy and his Elephant!

[9/10 · 9 May 2021]

I thought it was very touching how Barney and Jeff found each other and they immediately bonded. I loved how they played with each other like a boy and his dog.

Popeye and Son (1987)

Great Remake!

[9/10 · 2 April 2021]

I thought it was great that Hanna-Barbera brought Popeye back with this brand new story line! It's about time Popeye and Bluto settle down then start their own families in Sweat Haven.

What really made it better was that they didn't make Popeye's son look exactly like him or even wear the same cloths like they did in past cartoons.

Also they made him like any other kid who lives near the beach that want's to surf, skateboard and just hang out with his friends.
