My review

A start of new Saturday night lineup as it will be 1 episode each review of quantum leap and forever knight figure I go back to doing 1 episode review per episode it is lot easy so this will indeed go for shows I am reviewing because I still got movie reviews to write as well so let’s kick this new lineup off with quantum leap episode 1 review

The show Main story is Sam create a Time Machine called quantum leap where it is possible to time travel anywhere any year or day so that why I am looking forward to writing reviews on this amazing series back in the day so here is my review of first episode of quantum leap.

Episode starts off with a nice shot of stars and al driving down the road that will be part of intro as well for a bit so nice intro there and nice way to start so Al driving down the street and see a hot lady car broken down she sounds Ziggy who is a computer in the series could she be the voice of Ziggy not sure anyway Al get a call from a friend saying it going down right now Sam has step into machine even though Ziggy computer says no well there no way to stop Sam so they show a shot of Sam In machine then after quantum leap logo comes up after that a shot of sky my guess this is Sam leaping though the air nice shot and then goes fast and then Sam wakes up but not as him but a guy name Tom with a very pregnant wife as well so when he takes a look in mirror and see well tom who he leaped into who is a air pilot flyer I am sure Sam will be scared of that later on.

So how does Sam get back home well trying to fix what went wrong and fix it later on Al shows up and because of Sam memory lost due to effect of leaping he has no clue who Al Is though.

He better though without Al help he may not able to fly plane here because Sam never took flying lessons with the way it look here in first and there was moments where he almost did not make it very close he was lucky so whole dancing after a close call he see Al again and try not to pay attention bye the Al is a hologram from the future who Sam can only see and hear as well so that what make this show interesting it is off to a tough start between Sam and Al now.

Then later on Sam try to tell his wife that he not Tom did not go well though whole sleeping shot from start goes backwards but then forward my guess this was them trying to get Sam back look like failed then after that Sam try to call his father who died in year 1974 this was time he was alive Sam try to call him but he forgot his number after that Al and Sam talk while he fishing with Tom son and Al could not tell him anything Sam did get some info but not much though as it on Ziggy no list also it was told that Tom leaped into Sam as well I’m waiting room and he has memory loss as well which is a little interesting Sam must of been a genius making this so how did he make it .

Al says for some reason god or faith something was waiting to grab Sam and when time travel god or something did that so now his only way out is fixed what wrong intro a right and maybe leap home or on too next mission so what his mission right to to break the record of air pilot Al has agree to help him but has not show up yet wonder if he will I am sure he will just a little late.

They do a good job making you think he will not sure but he did a help out Sam he is a teacher but look like something happen sam got out there lucky he got out in time as plane blow up well he succeed on his mission why hasn’t he leap well Tom wife goes into labor early putting the baby in danger but Sam as doctor remember how to stop and he does so everyone is I think it time to leap and after kid throw the baseball he does now he a baseball player.

So this next half as Sam went from air flyer to now baseball player name fox Al tells Sam tom is ok and they had a baby girl so now his mission to help a ball player you have to feel sorry for him he made this Time Machine and sounds like a genius and can’t even remember a way to get back home and gets more heartbreaking as he got to talk his father again then they showed his father and younger Sam walking out door that was tough to watch but pretty amazing.

So Sam as foxx is up too bat now he can help fox out here with a big hit that should cause him to leap to the next one he needs to get here or else maybe be stuck there if he fails well he doesn’t get his big hit but ball bunch out of glove of catcher and so many errors that I see and something how Sam made it around the whole plate and scared on a strike out I guess that was ok could of give him a hit but after that he did leap and turn blue first look at what Sam look like when he leaps so he goes from baseball to look like a teacher as episode ends.

A very good start to series do I think Sam should of waiting and all problems would not happen yes and no what they should of done is plan more on how to get him back though in now they are stuck with Sam mind chessy each time he leaps though it will be hard to get him back I did like Sam first mission as air Pliot and they did a good job with Sam not knowing Al so they are building up there friendship there so mission number 1 was good as he saved 2 life’s there 2nd mission wasn’t much but moment him and dad talk was good as well but ending was a little weak could of give him a home run then strike out and ball bouncing out though it was funny but could of been better though anyway Sam leaps on too next one which will be reviewing next week episode 3 or 2 next week this is just a start and looking foward to reviewing next episode of quantum leap.

My Review

Saving the best for last one of favorite tv show back in the days as a kid here is first episode review of dukes of hazzard.

Episode starts off with a look of what ahead for the first episode of the dukes of hazzard so let’s go after that they go intro so takes about 2 mins or a min before full episode starts and it starts off with a cop chase but turns out it is there friend who steal the cop car better be careful if caught he get jail time indeed.

We get a nice introduced to characters of the show like who is boss Hogg and sheriff Roscoe who hates the dukes by the way and also tells us who other characters are you don’t see much of that now in tv shows that for sure.

Then we get a first look at there hot cousin Daisy duke and she is very tough as well don’t mess with her that for sure. Bo and Luke steal the gambling machines because they are illegal as well Roscoe finds out it was them and goes after Daisy trying get her arrest she does have a nice chase but then she got caught she now in jail thanks to bo and Luke so how do they get her out is the ? That for sure.

Only the first episode seem like they are making trouble but they also have plans to get out of it as well and that how they got Daisy out by dressing her up as cop and put a dummy in jail it did work and she got out safe.

So only 10 mins left of first episode of dukes of hazzard Will they get out of trouble or be put in jail to start series. Well turns out this was set up leading up to orphan being saved and they think it was him that give him money wow what a way to get out trouble great way to end episode as well.

This is show I grow up watching as a kid enjoying watching it then and still do today first episode was great start to series boss Hogg was not happy oh well I got the whole series on dvd and plan on doing more episodes in the future that for sure.

This ends a long long day of reviews think next time I cut it short because there lots of good episodes to review out there but will only be doing this around new years for now unit next time have a great new year and hope 2024 is a good one.

My review

Episode starts off with Leon saying he does not smell Roseanne around her restaurant today to Nancy funny I never did like character but he is funny so he comes up with a idea to make meat into a breakfast idea this is Leon trying to take over restaurant so now it will open wonder how Roseanne will reaction well.

Whole that going on Roseanne was not happy with the way things are going in fact look like everyone is tired Jackie as well can’t believe she vote for it open early Roseanne making fun of new rules and Leon walk in was funny the feud between us indeed of funny comedy of all time in my view.

Then turns out to be more stress when DJ was the one that stole the car and it end up in ditch you can tell Roseanne was stress when she spanked Dj hard she felt so bad too this where great acting comes from Roseanne here it so good felt real she nail this character emotions though in that few mins of the show.

There even a moment where she say had a nice talk with DJ again felt real hopefully she was not hit in real life anyway good acting in this episode.

So she said she needs to spend more time with DJ so that what happen they put him to work as Roseanne going to get back at Leon bye working more as it ended with him getting humiliated bye her then it goes to funny bloopers very funny laugh so hard at that one.

Fun episode too watch some of best comedy acting as well it was written very good for the feud between Leon and Roseanne as he was trying to get rid of her nice try there lol I did indeed enjoyed this one is of my top favorite Roseanne episodes as welll.

Well this is the last review of 2023 we got 1 more review left it will be released on first hour of 2024 see you then and happy new year.

Director………….. Gary jones

Synopsis

Retelling of David and Goliath story in which Goliath is a friend of xena’s who fallen into evils ways from grief after losing his family.

Warning spoilers ahead

My review

Getting near to new year but let’s keep going with Xena S2 Ep3 the giant killer review which will start right below this.

Episode starts off with Xens telling a story and this where she meeting her friend character name is Goliath like from movies so very interesting this will probably be like movies for story.

Well xena friend is also with some bad bad people this will be tough on her though as he only doing this to try to get to the guy who murder his family she try to talk too him but it is too late guess hate can cause you do bad things so xena later on saves Gabrielle from getting her head cut lucky it was very close Gabrielle and then fight breaks out between her and bad guys pretty good fight xena did get out though.

Her friend she will not hurt her but bad guy said he tell him where to find the guy that killed his family and that where he turn evil for good now and he now wants to kill her some friend he is now huh well then he goes after her good luck she is tough then you but he is also one tough Xena try everything but could not talk him out of it so now them 2 are going to be different sides Shame they could of been a powerful team but he choice xena could not take out the giant so better to take him out David that right there also a name here David and he does out Goliath just like story and movies xena did get a chance to say goodbye to her it was sad but they had a good ending with xena getting 1 more messsge to her friend in heaven that a good way to end it.

Well a great episode with character name being David and Goliath who was xena friend who turn bad it was indeed very tough on her but he was on the wrong side and she was not it too bad she could save but in the end it cost him life and xena losing a friend tough episode to watch it but it was good as well.

Director……………. Robert Sigl

Synopsis

The cleaning of the Cluster and is complete and the birth of Giga Shadow is progressing. These events are unknown to the crew of the Lexx when decide to journey to the cluster for one last attempt to get the proto- blood Kai needs to continue his existence.

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

Another Lexx episode review this is 4th episode of S1 called Giga Shadow review is indeed below.

Starts off with a cool intro and story on what happen in episodes before and how it started so cool they should of keep it or maybe not does take 4 mins to get to start of episode though it is a little longer so maybe it best they did not stick it with it though.

So the episode starts with a lady talking about the cleansing of the shadow or something is interested she was telling the story the stuff in the first five minutes is disgusting and disturbed as well this is pretty weird show though for some reason find it interesting though even if it is a little odd though.

So after intro and story telling they get into xav and Stan at around 16 mins mark they are talking about getting Kai more pro type blood or else he die so xav goes to Kai and ask him he say it is very dangerous.

Then we see Stan story on how he meet two weird guys old ones by the way they are creeping and in love with Stan as well again story of this show is weird.

Whole taking a shower xav turns water off on him and attack saying we going back wonder if this will change his mind or not.

Well it passed 30 and so far ok but weird stuff again say that word anyway Kai and xav try to find out how to get more pro blood so they try to talk to shadow they do get some info but not much as pro type blood is broken cause Kai life now cut in half.

So after some tear up to Stan it bug him enough to go back so they go back to dark zone and xav and Kai go to get more prototype blood by going back to where it start in first episode whole they are looking for that stan send a message to everyone and look like them 2 creepy guys hear him they are going after him for some reason they like him in a creepy way in past they meet before which was show early on in the first episode.

1 hour in Kai is pass out guess that end of his blood but xav finds more and sends the baby cluster to give him to wake up Kai he does but xav trying to get back to Lexx but Stan is in trouble with 2 guys who are creepy so not looking good for xav here that for sure where does she go now is the ?.

Kai is now heading to brain to stop his rebirth but the shadow try stop him and then for some reason Stan got away from creepy bad guys and try to blow up shadow but did not work Kai try to stop the shadow but was boot out as xav and Stan pick him down to last 10 mins anything can happen here as they have 1 move left to get the him to chase him in the worm hole it does work sort of but his tail gets on Lexx as he has now take over look like it was going to be end of them but baby cluster save the day biting into his brain as it ended the shadow for now and episode ends with Stan telling the story and how he set up them 2 guys it was good plan I guess Stan know they were coming for him least now they find a place where they should be they are never heard again after this so before rolling to end credits Kai said start looking for go look for a home last min shows Kai and xav kissing and Kai eye glowing black think he is part shadow is he or not is ?

Well what a weird episode that was but was interesting what happen in the end for shadow storyline after this was very surprised they keep going after this must of had a good fanbase so how was writing it was not bad but did add up so in the end did indeed enjoy this episode some.

Lexx : Giga shadow rating 6/10

Home improvement :S1: Ep1 - Pilot (1991) episode review

 Starring…………… Tim Allen, Patricia Richardson and Earl Hindman

Director………..John Pasquon

Synopsis

Tim makes the dishwasher more powerful. Jill has a job interview.

Warning spoilers ahead

My review

We’ll figure I review this one the very show of classic tv shows I watched back in the days called home improvement one of my favorite Tim Allen shows and probably one his best as well.

This also first time that I see this show well in years so probably forgot so first few mins is Tim and family watching some highlights funny show tool time is as well after that Tim try to get out of babysitter as Jill has a job interview.

Then Jill tells Tim do not touch the dishwasher does he listen nope his ego gets to him way to much that he is planning to fix dish washer this just going to make wife more mad if something happens here he does mess up a lot which is funny so can’t wait to see Jill reaction too this if he mess up.

So later Jill comes him thinking she got job and well she finds out about Tim fixing the dishwasher he try it but did not work and Jill not getting job so them two pretty much fight as time goes to one of my favorite character of series Wilson he the guy that lives next too then and he gives them good advice as well for some reason his face was never show all much as they hide it which is interesting as well.

So show ends with Tim and Jill making up but she has one more plan telling Tim to go get naked in the garage and locking the door funny ending with Tim being locked as guy fixing the dishwasher look on funny.

This was indeed a funny start to a show that did well for many seasons it has acting that you don’t see too much today that for sure I Don’t even watch comedy’s shows much so if I want to laugh have to go back and watch classics like this one which I did like.

Home improvement S1: Ep1 rating 7.5/10

 Starring……………… Tom Welling , Kristin Kreuk and Micheal Rosenbaum

Director…………. James Marshall

Synopsis

After Justin Gaines romances Chole, she learns that he has telekinesis ability. Clark angers Chole by speculating that Justin is responsible for some mysterious accidents, to get revenge for his own hit and run injuries.

Spoilers ahead warning

My review

Finally get to review another episode of smallville and this one is called crush so episode starts off witb Justin that is character name who is painting a face on paper then someone walks in my guess a doctor and ask him how he is doing I think he made Justin mad he doesn’t look happy then later Justin draws that same guy and puts blood marks from a red pin and then the guy gets killed in a elevator accident then after goes to intro.

After intro after an mis error about signing up for something which Clark did not this made chole mad so first five moments they are fighting.

After that lex visit his mom grave and he runs into a familer face a lady he knows for a long long time things didn’t go well between them though at first then later she shows up at his house turns out she a old babysitter of Lex still doesn’t like her at all.

The feud between Clark and chole sorts of heats up as he look for info behind Justin back well Justin finds out about this and things between them went sour this is not good news for friendship between chole and Clark is torn apart more while that going on Justin see a fax come in with some info on who run him over turns out it was principal and boy Justin goes go after him and well kills him justin is not who is he chole better watch out.

Clark does try to warn her later but well chole not buying it more drama chole is going to have figure out on her so she goes to his house and well finds something about justin and well Justin goes after her now she in trouble Clark better get there fast and good thing he did show Justin and him had a good fight short but in the end Clark win and saves chole.

After that lex visit lady who took care of him turns out she is die so was nice of lex to go see her after that chole and Clark talk and made up but the ending was not force on them it was around Whitney dad who passed and then music good song to fit in the last few mins where everybody was at the funeral in the rain with everybody looking at each no word was said but pretty good camera angle on Clark, Lana and chole as episode ends with Clark walking away very sad ending there.

Not a bad episode not best too much drama in this one but that ending made up for it there some but I would of left drama out some even that ending there was tough to watch total sad but was good for camera angles though that nice way to end it though.

Anyway off to next one which show will be that I reviewing next could be anyway so stay turned:

Smallville S1: E19 rating 7/10

The Three Stooges :S4: Ep4 - Brideless Groom (1947) episode review

 Starring………………. Moe Howard , Larry Fine and Shemp Howard

Director………… Edward Bernds

Synopsis

To inherit a fortune, Shemp must get married by 6 o “ clock that very day , but finding a willing bride proves a challenge.

Warning spoilers ahead

My review

For first time doing a review of my favorite episode of the three stooges as well it is very funny what this episode brings for a short time.

Episodes start off with him teaching Shemp that is a woman who has too loud of a voice after that moe tells him his uncle died and left him big money but he can only get it if he married oh boy. So he starts woman who turn him down at moment there is a moment I laugh when both got stuck in phone booth funny comedy this why I like it they find a way to make you laugh.

He try’s everything no woman will unit woman at starts will but moe put in a ad and well all woman turn him down find out I guess they read the paper so last few mins features all 3 being attacked by woman it was funny see then being attacked don’t see that much so after all that he gets married by 6pm as episode ends with him saying help help funny ending.

Quick episode but great one still one of favorite but would have like to see him get money sure did as well so in the end did enjoyed watching this episode again too funny.

The Three stooges S4: Ep4 rating 7/10

Arrow: S3: E1: The calm (2014) Review

 Starring……. Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy and Willa Holland

Director……….. Glen winter

Synopsis

As a new enemy emerges seven months after Slade’s attack upon Starling City. Oliver battles with the help of teammate Roy. However, with Arrow’s presence elsewhere someone he had loved Deadly is hurt.

Spoilers warning ahead

My Review

This was very first episode where Oliver meet Barry in before he had his powers I think yep but when does Barry show up not at start though as it started off with arrow in action great way to start as arrow has took out another bad guy.

After that goes to a flashback of Oliver in Hong Kong trying to get out but it backfired though after that someone who is tough plans to kill arrow that won’t be easy one.

So far 12 mins in no Barry yeti my guess he be a waiter at restaurant where Oliver on a date he tells her the truth about him to her bad news is bad guys there and then some shot a huge missle and a huge explosion goes down and every is hurt but Oliver does go after bad guy but he gets drug for a few seconds and takes a beating lucky didn’t last long as another character makes his first appearance as well ray Palmer a name that will be another big one down the line so this will be ray and Grant if shows up first appearance as well.

My guess grant will have a small part before episode ends probably be a quick one though anyway bad guys plan to attack and blow up a place where people are team arrow better hurry and stop them before bomb goes on lucky guy freeze the bomb as arrow gets his guy .

So well 5 mins left no Grant funny says his name at start but have not see him yet good news is John wife give birth and now he is a father though.

Then last few mins he get a phone call from Barry saying he woke up so I guess this was after he got his powers and needs to talk to Oliver that was pretty much it as episode ends with someone shooting Sara and die so who shot her is the question.

Not a bad episode so they made you wait unit end too see Barry and there he was not much though least he show up at end but the big ending turn out not to be that but the death of Sara and someone killing here very interesting to see how that play out anyway that it for this episode of arrow see you in next hour for next tv show episode review.

Arrow S3: Ep1 rating 7/10

Family matters : S3 : E9 : Born to be mild (1991) episode review

 Starring……………….. Reginald VelJohnson, Jo Marie Peyton and Rosetta LeNoire

Director………….. John Tracy

Synopsis

A street gang named the Dragons begin causing trouble at Rachel’s Place, breaking things and sexually harassing employees. Carl arrives just in time to chase them out. That night, after closing time. The gang breaks in and heavily vandalizes the teen hangout.

Spoilers ahead warning

My review

Episode starts off with Steve trying to get Laura attention bye asking her how he smells she bugs him off after that some gang comes in and cause trouble look like after intro they do start to do that picking on Steve and Laura as and then Steve got mad he funny when he gets that but there no way he can beat them guys who bigger then and look like things were going to get out of hand lucky Carl show up or else things would indeed get out of hand unfortunately later they trash her restaurant not good then Eddie try to fight them but got beat up so how is family going to fight them and busted them.

Well Steve said wire me I am going in too me this where I shake my head and saying is a good idea I guess sending him into danger might be only way to get him or they find out and kill him have to say it was funny see Steve trying to bad to bone whole that going on Carl and his boss are playing with handcuffs bad news is there no key or boy how heck did his cop because top boss funny.

Bad news is the gang figures out he was wired all long Carl better get there fast or he is toast lucky they got in there in time so they win so how does episode ends with them celebrated a big win and thank everyone as Steve say he has a new sandwich and Laura joke about it funny way to end the episode.

Well this was a tough one to watch see gang beat up her place and Eddie as well they were lucky to get gang at the end or else things would get worst the reason why I like this is show is acting which is good almost feel like it real and not them in character they are but characters of show is best as well that why this one is indeed a classic show will say.

Family matters : S3 :Ep9 rating 7/10
