Emergency!: Survival on Charter #220 (1978)
All Background and NO Action!
Don't bother watching this one, you'll die of bordom! It isn't worth it! It's so boring you'll sleep through the first hour, and the second hour isn't much better!
Both episodes are all about the background of the extra players. It's ALL background and NO Action. BORING!!!!!!!
Don't expect to see the regular players either.
With no cable, I'm stuck with watching all reruns of very old shows. So needless to say, I'm finishing watching this loser episode because there was Nothing else on!
I don't think the writers knew what they were doing. No wonder the show was canceled after this season!
TOTAL CRAP!!!!!
Storage Wars: Northern Treasures (2017)
Fake!
This is my least favorite of all the storage shows. There is NO WAY this is NOT Scripted!
What's with all the sexual innuendos? It's Definitely NOT a family show. Keep your children away from this one. You'll be answering Way too many questions and they'll be learning more than they should. Especially from television!
Bogart is the perfect example of overly acting being stupid.
I've Never seen people "act" SOOOO STUPID naturally in my life!!! I mean, are there really people that stupid and obnoxious?
I gave three stars because of the fact they give you totals won for each person/couple. Other than that, the show is a Zero!!!
COMPLETELY FAKE!!!
Beauty and the Beast: The Watcher (1989)
Not my favorite episode.
I had a hard time staying focused with this episode. It's very difficult when the main character does really stupid things. Everyday I set my alarm in the morning to watch Beauty and the Beast at 4 am. I really love watching this show. Most of the time. This episode is a bit ridiculous.
The storyline is typical. If you have a stalker or someone chasing you, do the dumbest thing you can. Don't head for the door, Run "up-stairs" in a scary house; hide in a barn full of hanging knives, hatchets, and machetes, or Leave your apartment after the police have changed your locks and installed a tracing device on your phone, and head straight down into the underground parking garage instead of using the "hidden" entrance to the tunnels that are in the basement.
The stalker had No Way of knowing that entrance even existed. But No, she heads for the garage. Just where "He" would expect her to go.
Totally Stupid!!!
Spoilers:
A: They never show who the man is. All we ever see is his eye.
B: Vincent jumps in to save Catherine, but doesn't get wet.
A Waltons Thanksgiving (2022)
Hard to follow
I love watching the Waltons re-runs on MeTv. This however is not it. I'm 25 minutes in and I want to change the channel. I know I couldn't expect to see all the original actors, but one of them would have been nice. Like Mary McDonough (Erin) as Olivia, or Kami Cotler (Elizabeth).
I thought this would be sort of a continuation of the show. It's not that. There are all new actors, which is weird. Grandpa is still alive, really? Grandma puts some of the "recipe" in her pie (she would NEVER do that).
The ages they have the kids is way off. When John boy was still in school, Elizabeth was barely old enough to go to school. Yet here she is a pre-pre-teen.
I've been watching it now for an hour and I still don't know which kid is which.
I don't like it!!!
I'm going to stick it out to the end, but it won't be easy. The constant commercials are driving me crazy!
Thank goodness for the Mute button on my remote control. Or I wouldn't make it through. Ugh......
The High Chaparral: Tiger by the Tail (1968)
Good casting, but......
Good casting with the addition of Ricardo Montalban, but.......
The beginning of this episode shows Ricardo getting ambushed and shot down. He is a wanted killer on both sides of the border.
Blue finds him and it shows him Only shot in his right side by his liver. Blue insists he be taken to the ranch.
Shortly after arriving, he is shown only to have a bloody bandage on his left shoulder. Then later he is shown with an additional bloody bandage in the center of his chest. And then later Again, he is finally shown with the addition of a bloody bandage by the original wound, his liver.
Within days he is up and walking around. Even with only the "liver wound" that's not very realistic. With three wounds, he is able to physically scuffle with Victoria? I think NOT!
The bulk of the show is about Ricardo's brother and gang trying to get him released. Big John was intending to only hold him long enough to recover for the trip to Tucson and the Sheriff.
Of course they show Victoria being a complete idiot by letting him out of his locked room. How many times in the show does she show herself to be this stupid? Too many. I find it really hard to believe women were that dumb and naive! Held down by men yes, but not that stupid and naive.
I'm sure by now you can figure out that I'm not a huge fan of this episode. But I won't give the ending away. Watch if you will, but I don't think this one is worth watching.
I give it 5 stars only because of the casting.
Bonanza: A Lawman's Lot Is Not a Happy One (1969)
NOT worth your time!!!
Do you need a nap?
Are you ready for that extra time you were looking for to clean something?
How about doing some drawer organizing?
Maybe you have some errands you need to run?
Or...how about time for those crafts you've been meaning to start?
This episode will definitely supply that extra hour you were looking for!
I don't know why they thought this was good viewing. Except that back then tv was different.
I guess they really thought this kind of garbage was great. Or maybe... episodes like this one contributed to the shows eventual downfall.
I don't know for sure. I was just a kid when this was Prime-Time.
Even though there are too many episodes like this one, I look forward to watching re-runs of Bonanza every Monday thru Friday on MeTV, 26.3 (no cable at my place, lol).
It's sooo very disappointing when I sit down to watch tv and stupidity like this comes on.
Don't get me wrong here, I really do like a good western, but this episode? Not so much!
So as the saying goes......Buyer Beware! It's Dumber than DUMB!!!
War Paint (1953)
Unrealistic Boring Garbage. Don't waste Your time!
There's been Enough written in the reviews about the who's who, so I won't waste your time with more.
This is THE Slowest moving western I've Ever seen. If your expecting action then forget it. There's NO ACTION!
They had no business calling this a B western. No matter what was going on in the world at the time of writing & filming this movie, I give it a "D" rating!
The government would NOT have sent such a small regiment to deliver a "treaty", Especially one that was so I'll equipped with the necessities & know how.
There were enough REAL LIVE NATIVES who were acting at the time they could have made it a bit more realistic by using them. Even putting Joan in a short, short dress isn't enough to save this movie.
I can't believe I watched it as far as I did. With the Pandemic and No cable I was bored, but by watching this movie I was BORED OUT OF MY MIND!!!
Don't waste Your time with this one, it isn't worth it. Believe me. Your time would be better spent CHEWING ROCKS!!!
Tales of Wells Fargo: Reward for Gaine (1962)
Discrepancies
John War Eagle, born John St Pierre, aka; Chief John War Eagle, Chief John Eagle, & John Wareagle, NOT John Edwin Worley Eagle.
John War Eagle was born a Yankton Sioux, & raised on the Yankton Indian Reservation in South Dakota, NOT in Leicestershire England.
His roles include appearing as Red Cloud in the "historical" western-drama film Tomahawk (1951) starring Van Heflin, a role he reprised in (1953) in "historical" western-drama film The Great Sioux Uprising starring Jeff Chandler.
He also played Chief Sitting Bull in the Disney family, adventure, western-drama film Tonka (1958), starring Sal Mineo.
War Eagle also appeared as Wolf's brother in Disney western-drama film Westward Ho, the Wagons! (1956) & in The Jeremy Dow Story-(S4E14) as revengeful Chief Iron Hand in the TV western Wagon Train (1960).
It would be nice if whomever wrote the bio for John War Eagle would do his/her research BEFORE they write ANYTHING!
The Texican (1966)
Horrible
I'm not a fan of Audie Murphy, but HE is the ONLY thing good about this movie!
The story line is Stupid as well. Most of Audie Murphy's movies ARE Stupid, but this one takes the cake!
The acting by EVERYONE ELSE is HORRIBLE, the Worst I've seen in a very long time!
Don't waste your time with this one. It's NOT WORTH IT!
This movie rates 0*
P. S. I intended to leave a short and Not so sweet review, but they said it was too short. So........I HAD to ADD FILLER. Sorry.
MasterChef Junior: Kidz Bop Kitchen (2019)
Disappointing!
I've never rated a 2 before.
I'm really struggling to finish watching this episode And the series.
I've seen SOOOO much FAVORITISM in many of the episodes throughout most of the seasons. Too many times we see the judge(s) barely taste anything, yet comment on All the flavors throughout the dishes.
In this episode, while judging Reid's Cookies & Cream Panna Cotta with Strawberry Coulis, Christina Tosi actually only slides her spoon down far enough into the glass, hugging the glass, to get the whip cream and strawberry coulis on the spoon. Maybe with a slight & I Really Mean Slight bit of the cream at the edge of where the cream filling starts.
Yet she comments; "It's deep in texture at the botton and then it starts to thin out in the middle where that cookies and cream panna cotta lives and then you get sweet acidic incredibly fresh strawberry coulis".
Really? How in the blazes would she know the texture towards the bottom??? She can't! She NEVER TOUCHED IT!!!
Reid had a complete crying melt-down in S7 E7 because he was serving RAW CHICKEN to Children! Clearly He is a FAVORITE and they want him to stay longer so they're making up crap to keep him in the show.
It's this kind of stuff that makes me turn off the show. I only come back to it another time on Hulu when there's nothing else to watch!!!
How the Earth Was Made: Yellowstone (2009)
Is disaster coming anytime soon?
With so many ancient volcanic eruptions happening from the magma that is now under Yellowstone, why didn't they give a more precise time-frame between each one? My guess is....they don't want to cause a panic!
They said "roughly" every 600,000 years and it's been 600, 040 years since the last eruption.
I want to know what the shortest And longest time-frames were. I am glad I don't live anywhere near there. But...an eruption of that magnitude will affect the weather across the entire northern hemisphere, if not the entire planet!
MonsterQuest: Killer Chimps in America (2009)
Yes or No?
I found this episode interesting. However, I don't believe just because they didn't find foot prints, scat, or a Chimpanzee on one of their cameras does NOT mean it/they are NOT there.
The Scientists in the study did NOT find enough differences between the area in Africa & the area they were searching in Florida. They say it's possible they could survive in FL.
With a Chimpanzee escaping near the time they were searching And the amount of Sightings makes Me believe He was still out there.....
72 Cutest Animals (2016)
HORRIBLE!!!
Which IDIOTS were in Charge of the Rating? This show is NOTHING ABOUT CUTENESS! Some of the "critters" are Down Right UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By episode 4, I was SOOOOOOO MAD I had to turn it off!!!!!
When I wanted to chuck my remote at the tv, I knew it was time. That brought me here.
Really? You had a Rat featured and NOT a Dog or Cat?
What the Hell is wrong with you people????
Only by reading these reviews did I find out which animal won the #1 spot. The Orangutan. At least it's cute. Especially the babies!
I'm so glad I didn't continue watching because reading about all the penguins, whales, & CRAP I would have had to sit through would have made my BLOOD BOIL!
Way to RUIN a Show!
What a Great Opportunity MISSED!!!!!!!!
ZERO STARS!
Heartland: Mood Swings (2011)
You gotta write something here. Whatever!
It atounds me how often I'm sorry is said in situations like this. Saying I'm sorry Doesn't make everything "All Good"!
Sometimes things just Can't be fixed!!!
Heartland: Eye of the Wolf (2010)
Wolves?
I have questions not a review. Anyone know what breed of dog is used for the wolf growling at Ty by the plane crash? I'd like to know about all the wolf scenes???
Heartland: Best Man (2013)
Again?
Why can't you write the show realistically? It's NOT REALISTIC to have No One standing up to Tim. Not even Lou for Peter or Amy for Ty. Come on man, fix it!
I get that there has to be a butt head character in every series, but come on. You can at least TRY to make it come close to looking like real life.
And again with the BRATY kid who NEVER DOES WHAT SHE'S TOLD. Really???
Spoiler...it doesn't matter how low the water was in the river/creek, Georgie was told Not to cross it and she did it anyway. Hurting her horse in the process, then with NO Repercussions or Punishment at all. Rediculous!!!
You're teaching kids they can do whatever they want. I feel sorry for the parents who are dealing with Their childrens bad behavior after watching ALL the kids on this show getting away with Everything, with NO Consequences.
Way to go writers!
Heartland: Trial Run (2012)
Unrealistic child rearing
I love this show. I really do. However....where is the Discipline? Georgie is a Brat! She completely disregards what she's told and Never gets disciplined.
In the beginning of the series I thought Mallory was annoying. WOW does Georgie take the cake!
She gets in trouble and Mallory is "talked" to by Jack. Really?
All the children on this show are allowed to be Rude, Disrespectful, Brats WithOut Any consequences. No spanking, no your grounded, not even stand in the corner.
This is a "family" show right? What do you think the kids watching it are learning? They're learning how to be BRATS!!!
Come on and give me a break. No parent let's their kid get away with everything I've seen Mallory, Georgie, and Katie say and do.
I wish I had thought to post this much earlier in the series. And why you say? Because I now in my fifth time watching the series, I have to Fast Forward through the Brats screen time. Especially Georgie's!!!
Spoiler alert.....Katie is allowed to be a Brat when she's older too.
Even Beaver Cleaver got grounded!
For Better or for Worse (2003)
Episodes???
For the most part, I like this series. However, I don't like that this site does Not include ALL episodes. There are a couple wedding planners that are a joke! They push and push "their" theme or their flavor of wedding dress. I've actually seen a bride cry when she saw the dress. Then she took a pair of scissors to it! Not good. The short pudgy planner is the worst!!!
Family Style with Chef Jeff: Farm Style Brunch (2013)
Grease!
I know this series is now in reruns. However, I'm new to this show. I've only watched a couple episodes. After seeing this one 'farm style brunch', I'll give it another try. I hope the series improves....
Chef Jeff talks about eating healthy natural whole foods. However, in this particular episode, he has the potato hash swimming, I mean cooking in a pool of oil/grease.
Why? All that oil/grease is not healthy to eat. It can't be. If you are frying bacon in a cast iron skillet, you don't need to add oil to it first. Bacon renders a lot of fat. Even the egg is covered in oil. I thought the whole purpose of a non-stick pan is so you don't need to use oils and fats.
I make delicious fried potatoes in a cast iron skillet. If you are using a cast iron skillet, you don't need to add any oil to it first. Just make sure the skillet is hot before you add the bacon. The bacon will render its own fats. If your skillet is seasoned properly, the bacon won't stick.
I don't cook with all that grease. I can't due to health reasons. I cook the bacon completely, remove it, and drain most of the fat. You can always add more fat/oil if necessary, but I usually don't have to.
It's plain and simple really. It's not healthy Or necessary to cook with all that oil/fat. If it was, why did they develop 'Non-Stick' pans? To be healthy!
