This used to be my absolute favorite show when I was younger. I am still so sad that there will never be a new episode again. But luckily, they are still showing reruns and probably always will because it was such a successful show. I would watch it every …

So far, Diagnosis Murder has done one two-part story each season and this third year is no exception. Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part 1 aired in January 1996 with the conclusion airing one week later.

The Prisoner: Checkmate is the conclusion, at last, to this updated renovation of the science fiction show that Patrick McGoohan brought to us in the 1960’s. That show was all from McGoohan’s mind and while it had an ending, a lot of people say that no one really understood …

I’d intentionally waited for a few weeks after this series debuted before reviewing it because I wanted to get a better sense of what the show is about. The first episode was pure sex, or pretty much so anyway, with the climax (pardon the pun!) being the swapping between …

The show Everybody loves Raymond is one of the worst shows that could have possibly been put on the air. It really is a stupid show and I could only stomach this show a few times before I got so sick of it. This show truly was a disaster.
I …

This show just gets better and better, each episode capturing the (pardon the pun) spirit of the movie more than the one before. Like the last episode, this one maintains a creepy atmosphere and does a great job of building up suspense, but it is also sure to …

For me, there’s nothing like good, old fashioned holiday fun, and last night I had a nice dose of that with the animated classic, A Flintstone’s Christmas. I actually don’t recall seeing this before, so it felt very new to me. I love the Flintstones, of course, …
