All in the Family The Complete Sixth Season
This is the last season of All in the Family to be released on DVD even though the show ran for nine years before changing its name to Archie Bunker’s Place. It’s a shame that the remaining seasons haven’t been released and it’s possible they never will be considering …
Criminal Minds S3 E3
Criminal Minds Season 3 Episode 3 Scared to Death
This is one of the more brilliant episodes on the show. In this episode, a disturbed psychiatrist, still unable to deal with issues resulting from an abuse he received as a child, is killing his patients by giving them the …
M*A*S*H: The Tooth Shall Set You Free
In M*A*S*H: The Tooth Shall Set You Free, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) has a nasty toothache but refuses to see a dentist, actually denying he’s in pain at all.
While the comedy portion of the show centers on Winchester, the drama is about the latest group …
General Hospital tv show
One of the best dramas on television is absolutely General Hospital. I think that that soap oprah does a fantastic job of mixing enough soap action with intense action scenes to fascinate and captivate both men and women alike. The show has a great group of actors and …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Here There Be Tygers TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Here There Be Tygers is a tale of exploration as astronauts land on a new world. We actually learn the meaning of the title very early on, and it is perhaps a hint of what the story that follows will be like.
The series aired …
Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations
Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations begins with the always insecure Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) grousing about Teyla keeping her baby from him. It’s an insane conversation that includes a tidbit about McKay having been dropped when he was an infant. I’m with Sheppard — it explains a …
The Virginian: Another’s Footsteps TV show
I tuned into The Virginian: Another’s Footsteps for a couple of reasons — Paul Petersen and Dennis Holmes. The funny thing is that Petersen got great billing, with his name in the opening theme, and yet he’s gone after one prolonged scene. I felt a little cheated …
Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman
Discovery Science TV-series “Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman” raises thought provoking questions about our universe. Freeman presents what is termed as the latest research about what the unuiverse really is like and our place within it. This is fine, but there is a lack of distance to the …
That Girl: Bad Day at Marvin Gardens
In the prior episode of That Girl, Ann and Don had planned to visit the Maries in Brewster, but Don had to work. In this episode entitled Bad Day at Marvin Gardens, the Maries come to the city to spend the weekend with the couple, starting with a …
Sea Hunt: Base of Operations TV Show
One of the things I’ve learned to like about the Sea Hunt TV series is that they oftentimes do a nice job of educating their viewers on the dangers of diving without proper training. Several subjects come up not just once, but several times over the course of …
Sea Hunt: Lord Christobal TV Show
From the first season of the adventure series Sea Hunt, Lord Christobal is about a ship that had gone to the bottom after Hurricane Dora. There’s definitely a mystery involved in it, though, because a diver who had first find the ship, the Minerva, was killed. Now …
Mork & Mindy: Mork goes Erk
Well, that was an episode of Mork & Mindy I haven’t seen before. Mork Goes Erk is a great episode and one I would recommend watching if you’ve never seen the show before.
The great thing about this episode is it creates the possibility of Mork and Mindy having to …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 14: Knock, Knock
Man, I wanted to like this episode more than I did. It wasn’t bad per se, but it had everything going for it, yet the end result was still only passable. Straczynski was writing it, it centered on an ancient world threatening evil, and Slimer had only …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The eyes of Despero
This is one of the highlights of the series. It has that perfect blend of light hearted humor, silver age wackiness, and serious superheroism that makes any hero story worthwhile.
The galactic menace Despero seeks to take control of the corps and it’s up to Batman, Guy Gardner, G’nort, …
The Twilight Zone: The Changing of the Guard TV Show
From June 1962, The Twilight Zone: The Changing of the Guard closed out the third season of this wonderful science fiction series. It was a terrific show to end a season with as well. It’s a story many people can identify with and that’s part of its …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - All Good Things… Part One
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “All Good Things…” Part One is the second to last episode of the series. The series finale for the show is centered around Captain Picard and his sudden and unexpected shifts through time. Now, I can see why the writers went with this …
The Fall Guy: The Adventures of Ozzie and Harold TV Show
The Fall Guy: The Adventures of Ozzie and Harold is not a favorite episode of mine by any stretch of the imagination. There are a number of reasons for this. First, the opening stunt sequence I don’t find believable, not because of the action, but I just …
How I met your mother Season 1 Episode 16 Cupcake
Marshall and Lily both are hunting for their wedding suit and dress. The price for each is too expensive and so Marshall agrees to work with Barney. Meanwhile problems arise between Ted and Victoria, when Victoria receives a scholarship to study in Germany. This means they will have to …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt TV Show
It’s a show about romance and misunderstandings, along with Barney’s normal over confidence. That’s what The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt from May 1964 deals with. I actually love the opening scene where Barney and Thelma Lou are window shopping, essentially talking about their …
Highlander: The Series - 101 - The Gathering
“I am Duncan MacLeod, born four hundred years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am Immortal and I am not alone. For centuries we have waited for the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword and the fall of a head will release the power …
The 100, TV Show
I was recommended this show by a great friend of mine who is obsessed with it. I’ve being ignoring her for a while now, but I finally decided to watch it after she told me a little bit of what happened in an episode. This show is from CW, and …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Thing from Inner Space TV Show
From November 1966, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Thing from Inner Space, which stars Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison as my favorite, Captain Lee Crane, is the eighth show of the third season. The main guest star is Hugh Marlowe as Bainbridge …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - Suds
Spongebob is sent home one day from work at the Krusty Krab because he is not feeling so well and he was not productive. It just kills him to leave work because he loves that place. The more and more that he sits around the house, he …
The Simpsons Show
I remember when the Simpsons used to be one of the freshest and funniest shows on television. I would watch it every week and just laugh and laugh because it was funny.
And then it got older, and stopped getting quite as fresh and funny. And now I …
Top Chef: Washington D.C.: Cold War TV Show
This latest season of Top Chef has been taking place in the nation’s capitol, Washington D.C. In this show, the quick fire challenge has the contestants cooking with some very exotic, unappealing foods, like Emu eggs, frog legs, and duck testicles. It’s just not appealing. Fifteen …
Family Guy: Dammit Janet
I only got to see bits and pieces of the Family Guy episode Dammit Janet. But, from what I saw of it, it wasn’t too bad.
Basically, the episode has Peter convince Lois to become a stewardesss so he can secretly travel around the world for free behind her back. …
Mission: Impossible: My Friend, My Enemy TV Show
I loved the Mission: Impossible series when it first aired, though I admit that when some of the originals left the show, I stopped watching with regularity. The episode, My Friend, My Enemy, is from the fifth season when Leonard Nimoy was a regular, playing the role of …
The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can is definitely one of my favorite episodes of this series. I consider it to be one of the classics, in the top 15 of all the shows. What I really love about this show is the spirit, the message of …
Laramie: Dragon at the Door TV Show
The most important element about Dragon at the Door, which was the third season premier of the western series, Laramie, is that it returned the show to its original premise just a tad. When Laramie debuted in 1959, it was a regular cast of four — John Smith, …
Family Guy 10-1: Lottery Fever
As the Family Guy Season 9 ended, I didn’t really have high hopes for the future of Family Guy. I wanted to be hopeful because I really like the series and want to see it be what it once was. FUNNY!!! But those hopes and dreams of actually enjoying …
Trading Spouses TV show
Is this the best show on television or what? I mean, it is the most interesting show for sure. My apologies to all of the writers out there in the world of television, but I much prefer heavily edited reality to scripted unreality.
I don’t know exactly what …
Venture Bros: Pinstripes and Poltergeists
This episode brings 24 back, still in ghost form and guiding 21. 21’s really become a competent character. For most of the season, the joke was that he thought he had, as the trope says, taken a level in badass, but it turns out it’s starting to …
Seinfeld: The Boyfriend
I’ve been watching re-runs of Seinfeld late at night (while waiting for my wife to get home from work) and have seen some classic episodes; including “The Boyfriend.”
This is one of the funnier episodes of the series because they manage to get baseball player Keith Hernandez to guest star …
Drew Carey Show
I love to watch the Drew Carey Show. I think this is one of the best and funniest TV shows I have ever seen. Drew Carey is just such a funny guy and he makes me laugh. I think the whole story about Drew and his friends drinking beer and …
MacGyver: The Legend of the Holy Rose Part 2
The action continues from the fifth-season opener of MacGyver with The Legend of the Holy Rose Part 2. MacGyver is helping an old friend from his neighborhood search for Diana’s Temple, or the Holy Grail. The two are being chased by the evil Erich Von Leer, played …
The Fall Guy: Ready, Aim, Die TV Show
The beginning of The Fall Guy: Ready, Aim, Die is very frustrating. Mostly it’s because I just can’t stand Doug Barr’s Howie Munson character. He’s just so dumb and shallow all the time. Everything about what happens in the opening scene drives me nuts.
Now that’s heightened …
Stargate SG-1: Holiday
One of the most riveting episodes in season 2 of Stargate SG-1 is called Holiday. It’s a standout episode for Michael Shanks, who not only plays his usual character of Doctor Daniel Jackson, but also the part of Ma’chello, an aged and infirmed inventor of things to defeat …
Uefa Champions League Magazine Television Show
With interest in the Uefa Champions League touching all corners of the earth, a weekly show like the Uefa Champions League Magazine, which rounds up all the previous week’s exploits is a welcome necessity for me, and something that has become a huge part of my football lifestyle.
I think …
For Rent (HGTV)
Most of the TV programs on HGTV are pretty standard. You’ve got the makeover shows, the ones where people are looking for new housing. And finally you’ve got “For Rent”—”the show in which people are actually looking for places to rent. I like this show because …
The New Adventures Of Old Christine
I’m always willing to give new shows a chance especially when the shows I love are in reruns or have been replaced with shows I don’t like. One of these was the case with The New Adventures of Old Christine. The ads that were run from the show took …
Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 5
Having just discovered Confessions of a Teen Idol on VH-1 yesterday during a re-airing of its fourth episode, today I tuned in for the latest showing, Episode 5.
The standout for me here was Jaime Walters, of Beverly Hills 90210 fame (I mistakenly stated he was on Baywatch in my …
The Simpsons: Simpson and Delilah
Last night was probably the fourth or fifth time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “Simpson and Delilah” and I still think it is an interesting episode.
This episode, which is from the second season of the long running series, feature Homer deciding he no longer wants to be bald and …
Channel V2
Channel V is a station shown on Pay Television. They play the latest music all day and all night. There are all sorts of different countdowns to the show. The only bad thing I would complain probably has to play the same songs over and over again during the …
Tell Me You Love Me (HBO TV Series, 2007)
I had never heard of this series before and decided to check it out on Netflix. I was really apprehensive at first, wondering whether I would enjoy something that clearly seemed like a silly chick series. I have learned from experience that the erotic chick series has …
MLB TV Service
I just recently switched from satellite TV to MLB TV thinking it would be more convenient for watching games and I think it was a horrible choice. They released a beta version during spring training and I saw major issues with the connection and video quality that I figured …
Law & Order SVU
Finally. After almost a full season, Law & Order: SVU seems to be getting back to solving cases and eliminating a lot of the side-stories.
Last night’s episode Choreographed was fantastic. It involved the return of Olivia Benson as Elliott Stabler’s partner and focused on solving a crime, not the …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 8: The Chase
This episode returns to our heroes, who are still traveling. After a long day, the group sets down to set up camp for the night. Katara tries to get Toph to chip in, but she chooses not to, saying that she took care of herself and is, …

The fourth episode for the 1970 television series, The Young Rebels, was called To Hang a Hero and dealt with the true story of Nathan Hale. Most everyone knows about Hale’s hanging as a spy by the British. His immortal last words were to the effect …
