The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Coffin TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Coffin is about two brothers who aren’t the best of friends. We see them together, disagreeing. At first, we wonder if the entire story is just going to be about their relationship. It is, but it’s broader that than. Also, interestingly, …
The Simpsons Season 7 Episode 5
The Simpsons family go to an amusement park, especially for very young kids like Maggie. Everyone except Marge and Maggie are thrilled. They do not find anything interesting there except for a petting zoo. Lisa is very fascinated by a small lamb. She is so impressed by that lamb, …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 9: For Miles and Miles
It’s funny to me that my least favorite parts of From the Earth to the Moon all air close together. Part 6, Part 8, and now Part 9 are the three that are not on my favorites list. This would be my third least favorite outing, and …
Sliders-Time Again & World
The episode “Time Again & World” is from right in the middle of the show’s second season. While this isn’t one of the Sliders better efforts, it is definitely much better than most of what is going to come in Season 3, when the whole series kind of …
Grey’s Anatomy
Grey’s Anatmony with Ellen Pompeo is a must watch show. I have to be in front of my television every Thursday night at exactly 8p.m. for Grey’s Anatomy. I must admit that I am addicted to watching the staff at Seattle Grace go through their drama in the operating …
The 100 - TV Show (2014)
‘The 100′ is a relatively new show, having premiered earlier this year. It’s already into it’s second season and it is definitely an interesting show. The concept of the show was developed from the first book (The 100) of a series written by Kass Morgan. I watch alot of TV …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Fee Fie Foe Fum TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Fee Fie Foe Fum aired in October 1992 and featured All in the Family’s lovable Jean Stapleton as Grandma. Co-starring in the half hour episode was Lucy Lawless as Liddy Barton and Robert Morelli as Tom. There’s also a pretty white dog. …
Mr. Monk and Sharona
I was hoping they would bring back Monk’s former assistant Sharona at some point in the final season and they did. I was glad too because this turned out to be a great episode.
The case itself was a bit too easy to solve. I knew the golf pro was …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Moon Rising
OK, is it just me, or did the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series run out of budget money for making vampires and demons? I’m almost through the fourth season of the show with the episode “New Moon Rising” and there has hardly been any action at all.
Not that this …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device TV Show
From July 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device is actually a pretty interesting story, though there are elements that I’m not as fond of. What happens is that two men, disheveled and obviously down on their luck, are traveling along a desert highway …
Felix the Cat in Bold King Cole cartoon
Growing up, Felix the Cat was among my favorite cartoons to watch. I thought that feline was so funny. Recently, I’ve been able to go back and watch a few of the original, or vintage animated shorts. These aren’t really the ones I saw growing up, …
The Steve Wilkos Show
I have to confess that I am late on the draw on the Steve Wilkos Show. I think I knew that he had a show sometime in 2008. But I was quite surprised to actually watch a few minutes of it. Steve is the …
Lovely Complex Anime Series
This anime series came out in 2007. And although some people might think it’s old news, it is still worth checking out!
It is about the comical love of two people with height complexes - a very tall girl named Koizumi Risa and a very short boy named Otani Atsushi. …
The Andy Griffith Show: Mayberry Goes Hollywood TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Mayberry Goes Hollywood is another enjoyable outing from this TV series, which has always been a high quality family program.

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Showdown
Brisco and Lord Bowler go to Brisco’s hometown where Brisco ends up becoming the temporary sheriff in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Showdown. This show was somewhat nice, giving us another glimpse into the past of the colorful Brisco. There were some definite highlights that make …
Due South: Mask
One of the things I really like about Due South: Mask is the Indian culture and lore that comprises a big part of the story. I’m always taken with the legends and such that are part of the very rich Indian heritage. This show is full of …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 1- Payback
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 1- Payback
An interesting beginning to a series. Although I think it was a little bit too dramatic, it did make an impact and was interesting to watch. The only thing that really bothered me was that by trying to introduce …

National Geographic Wild is a show about animals. This particular episode of the show was about the deadliest animals and Central America. They show aired on Nat Geo Wild, a new channel recently created by National Geographic. This show is about animals that live between southern …
Privileged on the CW
The CW has given us some of the greatest TV shows for years. Recent CW favorites include Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, and 90210. The latest addition to my list of CW faves is Privileged starring Joanna Garcia, Ashley Newbrough, and Lucy Hale.
The series is about Megan Smith, a …
How I Met Your Mother Season 1
I was a latecomer to the world of How I Met Your Mother. I think when the first season actually aired, I only watched one or two episodes, if even that. A local store was having a sale on the first season DVD set, so I decided to go …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A Ring for Hannah TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A Ring for Hannah has another disaster looming for the McFadden family. It begins with some warm emotion and good feeling when Tom Barrett (Charles Aidman) tells some of the brothers about how he opened a mine with Adam McFadden Sr. Adam …
The Twilight Zone: A Penny for Your Thoughts TV Show

The Fairy Jobmother TV show
I was flipping through channels and came across the show “The Fairy Jobmother”. I had never heard about the show previously and I thought it was a creative title, so I gave it a try. The show was a professional who helped people who had been hurt …

Chasing Mummies: Buried opened in Luxor at the Valley of the Kings with Alice suddenly getting sick. Alice is an underwater archaeologist who asked to go to work for Dr. Zahi Hawass after working with his team on a project earlier in the series. Though skeptical, it …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Enemies
I have to say, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Enemies” really had me fooled when I watched it; and that’s not something that happens very often.
I knew from a couple episodes back that Faith had entered the services of the mayor and was no longer fighting evil; she …
CHiPs: The Volunteers
In CHiPs: The Volunteers from season two we meet Charley Davis and his daughter, Robbie as played by Mod Squad’s Tige Andrews and Katherine Cannon, respectively. Both of these characters reoccur in future episodes. Charley and Robbie are truckers and they are being pressured, which is what gets …
Columbo: Swan Song TV Show
Swan Song is a truly memorable episode of Columbo because it’s part musical. Well, not in the purest sense, but the main guest star is country legend, Johnny Cash. Cash plays Tommy Brown, a singer and husband of Edna Brown. Edna is played by the dynamic …
Due South: Mojo Rising
Due South: Mojo Rising was big on voodoo, and those shows aren’t my favorites to watch, regardless of the show. I’m not sure what the fascination is with this type of show, but sooner or later, it seems like every dramatic show on the air does some show …
Here Come the Brides: A Man and His Magic
Here Come the Brides: A Man and His Magic features Jack Albertson in a flamboyant and yet endearing role of a man who claims to be able to control the weather. He puts on a big show during a rainstorm, and sure enough, the rain stops. Though …
Cover Her Face - Part 3
Cover Her Face, Part 3, moves this P.D. James murder mystery along significantly. One of the things I like about this particular outing, though, is that the storyline is much easier to follow than those in later outings. I felt that way about The Black Tower, too. …
The Young Rebels: Dangerous Ally TV Show
In The Young Rebels: Dangerous Ally, the Yankee Doodle Society suffers the down side of keeping their activities secret. No one in their town of Chester knows about their covert fight against the British, not even Jeremy’s father or Elizabeth’s uncle. This leads to some dangerous results, though, …
M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War
M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War is a very good episode. The action begins when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is sent to the front lines to help out. The kink in this armor is that it was B.J. Hunnicutt’s (Mike Farrell) turn to go, but …
DC Cupcakes: Greek Festival TV Show
DC Cupcakes: Greek Festival is the third episode of a new series on The Learning Channel, a channel I’d pretty much stopped watching considering their insistence on stuffing the Gosselins down America’s throat. However, I’m liking this show. Here are some highlights from my point of view.
–Sophie …
Cupcake Wars - episode 1 TV Show
Television will make a show about anything these days, especially if it’s cooking related. For some reasons, America is fascinated and entranced by anything that gives us food. Thus, we now have Cupcake Wars which has four individuals vying to be king, or queen, of the cupcake …
Speeders (TruTV)
I wish I could say that I really like this show. But because it’s called “Speeders” you know that no one is going to get arrested (not really.) There will be no high speed chases, lots of cursing, no blood—”or any sort of real drama. …

Chase: Havoc TV Show
Chase: Havoc was one of the more interesting hours of this freshman NBC series that focuses on a team of United States Marshals. The head of the team is Annie. She’s a bit of a wild cannon in my opinion and I’m not sure yet if I …
The X-Files Field Trip Episode
This episode of the X-Files was also one of my most memorable episodes. I found it to be a little confusing at one point and I didn’t think it was a work of genius either, but I believe that it was still quite enjoyable. In fact, I think …
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
I love to watch the television show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show stars Will Smith and it is absolutely hilarious. This show came out in the early 90s and I have been watching it since way back then. I use to watch it all the time …

CSI Season 1 Episode 20 Sounds of Silence
Just as expected of this great show, it was a really fun and interesting episode. Aside from the investigation, there was some social message as well, but I felt like it didn’t really work well. I think it was a just a little bit over the top as the …

One day, Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick find Squidward in a full body cast because he was involved in a bicycling accident. Being the good friends that they are, they decided to help him feel better that they were going to take him out jelly-fishing and give him the …
The Virginian: Dark Corridor TV Show
The Virginian: Dark Corridor, from November 1968, is a show I watched primarily for its guest star, John Smith. Smith was in my all time favorite western, Laramie, so I tend to notice when he pops up in some of these old show.
James Drury stars as The Virginian, …
Sea Hunt: Sixty Feet Below TV Show
Sea Hunt: Sixty Feet Below debuted on January 4, 1958, and it was a good outing to start off with for this adventure series. I wasn’t even born when this show took to the air, so this is the first time I’m seeing the underwater themed program which …
TV Series Modern Family “Caught in the Act”
You have to love a show that has kids walking in on their parents having sex in the morning in their first scene. I hadn’t seen a kids walking in episode on tv in awhile, it is not the first show to have done it but the material …
Gilmore Girls TV Show
Gilmore Girls is a quirky TV show about a single mother and her daughter, the mother being Lorelai (played by Lauren Graham), and the daughter being Rory (played by Alexis Bledel). I absolutely love this show! I enjoy the clever jokes and the drama in the show. Everything that …
The X-Files Fallen Angel Episode
When I first watched this episode on The Sci-Fi cable channel, I could not understand what it was about. I found myself wondering constantly if the thing Mulder and Scully were investigating in the episode was a literal fallen angel or a U.F.O. I could not understand how a …
