Star Trek: I, Mudd TV Show
Roger C. Carmel returns as the colorful Harry Mudd in this second season episode, Star Trek: I, Mudd. I prefer this one over his first appearance. It’s full of fun, right from the start when McCoy and Spock banter in the corridor. Those were the good …

The show begins lightheartedly with Steele, played by the suave Pierce Brosnan, asking Laura Holt, portrayed by the talented Stephanie Zimbalist, out on a date. She …
Bell Xpress Vu Dual Tuner PVR
I love this device. I waited for Canada to have an equivalent to TIVo and now that we do, I would never go back to normal television.
I love pausing and rewinding, recording my favourite shows and having both televisions hooked up to only one receiver (via UHF remote) is …
CHiPs: High Explosive
In my mind, CHiPs: High Explosive is a bit controversial. I’m sure to many it could be a sensitive area. It begins when a teenager uses a pellet gun and causes a traffic accident that leaves one woman seriously injured.
Ike Eisenmann guest stars as Barry, the boy …
Exiled
Have you ever seen the series on MTV called ‘My Super Sweet 16′? if you have, then this reality show is trying to pickup from where the previous one left off, it shows how these rich, spoilt teenagers are living off their parents and not wanting to start living …
Yo Gabba Gabba
Yo Gabba Gabba is, ostensibly, a children’s show, but I find myself drawn into it just as much as my children.
The basic premise is that DJ Lance Rock has friends who come to life when he removes them from his boom box and says the magic words “Yo …
Family Guy TV Episode: Death Lives
I finally got a chance to sit down and watch the Family Guy episode Death Lives in its entirety the other night. When I started watching it, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from it because I had seen bits and pieces and it didn’t look as funny …

The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Ill-Gotten Gain TV Show
Every kid in America had to feel for Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) in this episode of The Andy Griffith Show. It’s their hope and their nightmare both. The show, Opie’s Ill-Gotten Gain, from November 1963 begins innocently enough with Opie attempting to do his math homework, only …
Laramie: Saddle and Spur TV Show
I really enjoy watching Laramie: Saddle and Spur from the first season of this terrific western TV series. It guest stars Beverly Garland, who is recognizable from shows like My Three Sons and The Scarecrow and Mrs. King. She’s really great in this episode as she plays …
The Simpsons, season 19
The Simpsons are still my favourite cartoon for grown ups, even American Dad, Futurama nor South Park aren’t that good. Well some people say that 19 seasons is too much but in my opinion the Simpsons are still treathen the most important issus in the society and there are …
Frosty’s Winter Wonderland
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 …
Laramie: Fugitive Road
From season one of Laramie comes Fugitive Road, a terrific tale that really tugs on the heart from the conflict involved. The magic of Laramie is the relationship between the two friends, Jess (Robert Fuller) and Slim (John Smith). These two are as different as night and …
Medium: Means and Ends TV Show
Medium: Means and Ends was not a favorite outing for this series. It seems to me that this year has been very hit and miss. The show was barely renewed for this season, and I fear this could very well be the last if things don’t pick …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Time Lock TV Show
From 1967, the eighth episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s fourth season is called Time Lock. It’s an okay episode that has some entertainment value going for it. The crux of the hour long science fiction show is that Admiral Harriman Nelson, as played …
Sea Hunt: Skipper TV Show
The initial focus of Sea Hunt: Skipper is the Hamilton Cup, which is a speed boat race. Mike Nelson’s friend, Johnny (Mark Andrews) and his fiance Jill (Jana Lund) were relaxing the day before the competition. He’d won his heats and had the best three lap average. …
TV Show: The Outer Limits
The television show The Outer Limits is an older show and it always gave me the same eerie feeling as the Alfred Hitchcock series. I used to watch this show all the time but now I only catch it occasionally when the Sci Fi Channel does an Outer …
The Apprentice - UK - Week 10
In Week 10 of The Apprentice - UK, the two small teams had to select and sale products on one of Britain’s home shopping networks. Donald Trump has done that in America’s Apprentice, too, so it was a familiar concept. Even though the premise wasn’t new, this …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Ambush TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel continued its third season with episode 32 entitled Ambush. In this show, the action starts right away without any fanfare, pleasant San Francisco teaser, or polite banter. It’s right to the intensity of the situation that Paladin (Richard Boone) finds himself in.
Paladin …
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties is not really my style. It opens with Sam and Vala returning from a shopping trip, the two all decked out and drawing attention as they walk down the corridors of the SGC. I guess they wanted to show these two are friends. …
Adam-12: The Tip
For me, one of the things that stands out about Adam-12: The Tip is that Chuck Courtney has an uncredited part as bad guy, Russell Simms. I’m not sure why he didn’t make the end theme credits, but for some reason, Adam-12 had a habit of not crediting …
Highway Patrol: Chain Store TV Show
The 12th outing for Highway Patrol in its third year of televising was called Chain Store and was a pretty decent episode. The show starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, the head of the California Highway Patrol. Also starring was William Boyett in his recurring role …
Justice League Unlimited: Initiation
Justice League Unlimited slipped under my radar when it first came out but after watching Initiation I certainly want to see more of it. This episode focuses on four of the Justice Leaguers, Green Arrow, Captain Atom, Super girl and The Green Lantern.
The Green Arrow is the main character, …
MacGyver: Ma Dalton
Jack Dalton is back and back as being annoying in this episode of MacGyver called Ma Dalton. I’ve been reminded that when he’s calm and not scheming, he can be a fun character, but when he’s scheming and roping Mac into his crap, I just can’t stand him. …
M*A*S*H: For the Good of the Outfit
This episode is a bit controversial. In M*A*S*H: For the Good of the Outfit, the medical personnel realize that the victims of an incident in a nearby town were wounded by American devices. While Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) isn’t that thrilled to follow through, he tells …
Snickers Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich
My wife ran to Walgreens Saturday for a couple things and came back with some dessert; Snickers Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches.
I’m not a huge fan of Snickers bars themselves. But, I do like Snicker’s Ice Cream and thought the idea of a sandwich made up of two brownies on …
That 70s Show: Baby Don’t You Do It
I have to admit, that was a pretty funny episode of That 70s Show; “Baby Don’t You do It.”
I think I reviewed the episode that happened prior to this one, where Eric and Donna think she’s pregnant because she missed a pill. Well, this is a follow up episode …
Gilligan’s Island - Meet the Meteor TV Show
What a change, the actors actually face a survival situation not from man but from space, something that we face everyday. And in m opinion the producer did an excellent job making this episode well thought out. There is one scene that is completely unrealistic, again the Professor uses …
M*A*S*H: Mr. and Mrs. Who?
M*A*S*H: Mr. and Mrs. Who? is pretty funny. From the eighth season of this hit comedy, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) returns from spending time in Tokyo. He had such a good time that he doesn’t remember a thing. Thus he’s thrown when …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Jinx TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Jinx, from January 1962 which was part of this comedy show’s second season on the air, was a solid half hour of entertainment, though to be honest, it’s not one I really like all that much. I’ve watched it numerous times. I …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Caravan TV Show
From February 1963, Have Gun - Will Travel: Caravan is the 24th outing of this western’s sixth and final season on television. It’s a combination of action, drama, and romance, all crushed into a thirty minute format. The long and short of it is that Paladin hires …
NCIS Los Angeles Season 3 Episode 1
I waited a long time for the new season of NCIS Los Angeles. The last season was intentionally cut in mid story. Unexpectedly and mysteriously, Hetty resigns from her post and goes to Romania to close some unfinished business. Of course, what she did is so absurd that …
Voyagers!: Old Hickory and the Pirate
Since Phineas Bogg was a pirate, it makes since that a show would be done about pirates and that came to pass with Voyagers!: Old Hickory and the Pirate, which aired during the November sweeps season of 1982. In this case, it’s all about Jean Lafitte being accused …
South Park: Eat, Pray, Queef
South Park has always been known for gross-out comedy, and this episode continues that tradition. The episode revolves around the national disgust of feminine expulsions of gas as opposed to flatulence, and while it seems to be just another gross tactic, it ends up being a decent episode in …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Traitor TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Traitor from April 1965 was the 32nd show of the series and the last of the first year on the air. The show starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. This series has always …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 15
In our ludicrous world that we call home, we simply recycle the only lonely good memories we have and in exchange, we are punished for such arrogance to the highest degree. The very same standard applies itself to all humans, whether they be small or strong. This is Neon …
House: House Training
If House were a medical drama I wouldn’t be interested in watching it, and if it were a typical soap opera type show I wouldn’t care either. I have never been interested in formulaic television. House has a formula in some shows, but the formula isn’t the show it …
Friends Episode: Ross Angry at Joey Over Rachel
I find Friends Episode: Ross Angry at Joey Over Rachel very funny and heartwarming. There the two friends, Joey and Ross, and Ross is super angry at Joey for proposing using his grandma’s ring the more. And Joey feeling guilty and all that, decides to explain things to …
Cheaters (TV show)
One of my guilty pleasures is watching Cheaters. Cheaters is a show wherein people who suspect that their partner is cheating contacts the Cheaters team and asks them to investigate. The investigators follow the suspect for some time, documenting his/her exploits as evidence. Afterwards, the host, Joey …
Laramie: The Last Journey TV Show

Dancing with the Stars - Final Performance Show - 5/24/2010
My problem in the last few years with Dancing with the Stars is that the judges have favorites and they push for them. It’s a bit of selective visuals.
Here’s my current case in point. The last free dance performance of the night was Derek Hough and celebrity …
