Doctor Who: The Shakespeare Code
Apparently there is little use in blogging this show since the episodes I watch on the Sci-Fi channel is a year or more old and there are 2 million Doctor Who sites. Still great show I miss Rose and the other Doctor.
Monk: Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan
The show use Sarah Silverman to poke fun at themselves. It shows how bad they have got. They completely abandon the search for his wifes killer and lost the soul of the show.
Psych: American Duos
The guys investigate an attempted murder on an American Idol copy show. I laughed from begin to end. The funny references were flying out every second. Gina Gershon as Emilina the Paula Abdul copy was brilliant when she had the her exchanges with Lassiter.
This show is simple it is straight men versus comedian. When O'Hara put on the pink fame outfit and was giving her speech it was great. Shawn and Lassiter actually solved the case when they first meet the crooks.
Monk: Mr. Monk, Private Eye
Natalie forces Monk to become a real Private Investigator witha n office straight out of 1938. Monk's first case goes from a simple fender bender to a murder.
The captain actually figures this case out and also has a new lady friend.
This looks to be a turning point in the show. They made a big deal about how everyone had moved on and their lives are in change. I'm not sure where they're going but it seems like a step-up.
Three Moons Over Milford: Pilot
An asteroid hits the moon and breaks it in three big pieces and millions of smaller chunks. This all happened off camera. The best part of a disaster show and they don't show it.
The series stars Elizabeth McGovern, Laura Davis is a mom of two. She has a rich husband who has gone missing. The town of Milford reflects the rest of the world where everyone has gone hippie. Realizing that anyone of the million chunks of the moon may kill all life on Earth humanity is doing what they want.
Men are marrying women in dresses, old people are riding motorcycles and all manners of hippie wacky stuff. The focus is on the Davis family the daughter is into wiccan and burns down the school casting a spell. The son is a hot-nerd who is trying to do his adult neighbor lady.
Lots of celebrity guest stars will be appearing in the next few episodes. This show is a better more simple version of Eureka.
I noticed ABC Family has a new tagline.
ABC Family a new kind of Family.
Stargate SG-1: Morpheus
This was a funny and gripping episode.
The funny came with a overly cheerful Vala trying to pass a psychological test. At first she tries cheating her way through but after feeling as she would fail she quits. This act plus agreeing not to be a spy lands her a job in Stargate Command.
The gripping was with an away mission goes wrong. The team along with some "red shirts" go to a planet were a parasite infects them and gives them a sleeping disease. The red shirts die but the rest of team falls asleep only to be rescued by a second team that went there to cure them. It was nice to see the team completely fail.
Stargate Atlantis: Misbegotten
The crew of Atlantis are happy with a new ship but are feeling some guilt over having to abandon some human-former-Wraith. These former Wraith eventually get there memories back and stage a coup. The crew loses there new ship but manage to blow up the former Wraith, at least that is what they believe,. No bodies could be found.
Monk: Mr. Monk and the Big Game
A very funny episode has Monk investigating a school teachers death. He must help coach a basketball game and gets a whistle. The whole whistle scene in the camp area was hilarious. Imagine someone with OCD given a whistle.
With lots of help from Natalie he solves the case but loses the big game, which ws so perfectly sad.
Psych: Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace
I'll just say there was a brief second when the fake-psychic was explaining how he determined a fake hand-writing. It was much more fascinating then the crappy psychic storyline.
They should drop the psychic bit and just call him an expert.
They did this before on a Steven Weber show called Cursed. Weber was a guy with a gypsey curse to have bad luck, that premise was so dumb it was dropped after the pilot and improved the show that only lasted a few episodes. It was renamed The Weber Show.
I can get older Daytime Dollars code if they are needed.

Since I do have a partial life I record shows on TiVo all day long and watch them late nights when I'm home. All these shows have been on cable but are they worth the space on my Tivo.
Monk, The 4400 and The Dead Zone are all coming in with a whimper.
When these shows first started they were exciting and different but quickly they reduse to resolve anything and just drag out. Monk has all but forgotten his dead wife. They should have a good three or four episode arc solving his wifes murder, then have him deal with it for next season.
Oh well I must keep watching. For now cable is winning.
Monk: Mr. Monk and the Garbage Strike
Funnier then normal Monk has to deal with a garbage strike in his area. The union boss gets murder and Monk is at a lost to who killed the guy. The smell of the rotting city has thrown off Monks crime solving skills. Eventually the captain takes Monk to a clean room and he solves the case.
Psych: Spellingg Bee
Shawn and Gus try to solve a murder at a spelling bee and I guess they do because I drifted away from the TV and didn't really pay attention that closely. This maybe the last time I see this show.
The 4400: The Home Front
Alana is taken in as a member of the Nova group. So her hubby works out a trade and gets her free but on the run with that dead guy from ER.
The Dead Zone: The Inside Man
Nazis, Jesus Christ and a museum robbery are all things Johnny must piece together to solve a museum robbery. Nice episode about faith.
Today's episode reminded me that he is a psychic, why not go to museum and get paid to verify art or bones? Why not look into the past and see Jesus Christ and Moses, go to the museum and touch dinosaurs bones and mammoths to see how the really look and how they lived? Imagine the possibilities. Yes I know Johnny is above that petty stuff but come on.
I've been watching the USA network lately because there is nothing else on and they repeat their shows later in the night.
Monk: Mr. Monk and the Actor
The season premiere had lots of guest stars and some wacky storyline. Monk is not getting better with his OCD and they still won't move closer to find out who killed his wife.
Psych: Pilot
A man who was trained by his cop father to have a photgraphic memory uses his ability to catch criminals for the reward money. The catch is that he has to fake being a psychic to be taken seriously.
Oh yeah and his best friend is black and just follows him around for no good reason.
The 4400: Graduation Day
Isabelle pursues her boyfriends tormentors with deadly results and Tom tells her "I was told to kill you, but I'm not going to." Blah, blah, blah less talk more action.
The Dead Zone: Article of Faith
Racism and religion get to together and results in murder.
The Dead Zone: A Very Dead Zone Christmas
Johnny Smith helps a Santa with amnesia find his stolen bag. The kids who stole the bag are homeless and need help. Johnny's girlfriend is also a psychic and sees ghost who helps the little boys.
It was a cute episode that worked out nicely, the boys find their father and Santa turns out to be an actor best of all the dinner wasn't burned.
Monk: Mr. Monk and the Secret Santa
Monk solves a murder for Christmas, not especially moving. This show lost it's spark.
Ghost Whisperer: Shadow Boxer
A mom protects her family who is breaking apart. Not a Christmas episode I think they're in summer over there. I'm trying but the sweetness of this show is a bit too much.
Masters of Horror: The Deer Woman
After a real bad one two weeks ago and a great political one last week this one by John Landis was just OK.
John Landis the genius behind An American Werewolf In London tells a tale of a half deer half woman killer. There is no reason given for deer woman's murderous ways or resolution at the end.
The cool part was when the officer tried to explain that these things happen, "Remember in 1981 when a new species of wolf killed all those people in London."
Yeah and not Christmas related in any way.
