Sea Hunt: Sunken Car TV Show
Sea Hunt: Sunken Car begins with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing a survey job where a pipe would be placed later. I like seeing how they link these little opening bits with what ultimately becomes the main focus of the half hour episodes. The survey really has …

“Daredevil” series on Netflix
For years now, it seems like it is government-mandated to watch all of the Marvel films, because as much as I try, I can’t seem to keep myself out of the theater! The “Daredevil” series on Netflix, although successful, seems to not be as etched into the mainstream as …

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.

Mary’s Little Lamb cartoon
Mary’s Little Lamb is a vintage cartoon from the golden age of television, back when things were so much calmer and a whole lot less violent. Lambs didn’t transform into robots; they were just there to be loved.

Danny Phantom
The only time I really watch Danny Phantom is when my cousins come over. They are ages three, six, eight and ten. I think it’s a pretty cool show from what I’ve seen. I also like some of the messages it teaches kids. There was one episode when there …

Ghost Hunters Academy: Blame Game
Last night was the second-to-last episode of this season’s Ghost Hunters Academy and, if they pick a winner, I really don’t see that person being someone who would really stand out on the Ghost Hunters show.
They sent the team to the St. Augustine Lighthouse; the same place that Ghost …

Ghost Hunters: Eastern State Penitentary
We were watching another season 1 episode of Ghost Hunters last night “Eastern State Penitentary” and I have to say I was left less than impressed.
You would think a place like a prison would provide quite a few scary moments and even had some investigators running for their lives …
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
I cry every time, every single time I watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and I’ve watched it hundreds of times over the decades. I own the video and I rarely miss it when it airs on TV. What a classic, and one that pulls at your heart …
The X-Files The Calusari Episode

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 …
Friday Night SmackDown
If you like fights and wrestling then you will love Friday Night Smackdown. In fact I am watching it right now as I type up this review. I have always loved SmackDown and I remember when it used to be on Thursday nights. Now it is on Friday nights but …

Court TV
Within the past year, I seem to have gotten farther and farther away from watching mainstream television shows, and I, for one reason or another, have become more interested in Court TV. Maybe I am just tiring of redundant television concepts, or maybe it is because I am …

Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-16-10 TV Show
September 16th’s episode of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show, which starts off the Home block of daytime programming on the Hallmark Channel, began with a couple of cute dogs. I guess these critters belong to Martha and apparently they are now starring in their own webisodes over on …
Mr. Monk and the Leper
I am a huge fan of the television series Monk. However, Friday’s episode, Mr. Monk and the Leper was a bit of a disappointment.
While the show still kept most of it’s trademark comedy, the episode seemed to lack a lot of the mystery that has kept it a top …

I had heard bits and pieces of the show from …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 15
This episode breaks the format a little in that we don’t get one narrative, rather a series of small stories that focuses on each of the main characters.
We get one for Katara and Toph that has them bonding after Katara invites her for a girls day out. The …
Beast Wars - Nemesis Part One

This one was a pretty interesting case. You have a homeless man being killed and shoved inside a refrigerator and, …
Medium: How to Kill a Good Guy TV Show
Medium: How to Kill a Good Guy is a bit of a transitional show, which is sad really. That’s because it’s the episode where Ariel DuBois is about to head off to college. This is a huge loss, not just for the family, but for we the …

Bones: Knight on the Grid

Most episodes have Bones and Booth looking for a killer and finding him/her by the …
House: Hunting
The thing about so many shows is that what happens seems to be too easy. By that I mean that every week something extraordinary happens to the characters of the show. That is why having House being a famous diagnostician is such a good idea, and one they …
The Waltons TV Show
My favorite TV show ever is The Waltons.
I just love the serenity of the setting, the lifestyle. Although they were not wealthy they were the richest family to me. I still love to watch it, and it is on for 2 hours every morning. Luckily I am an early riser …
The Virginian: The Brazen Bell
The Virginian: The Brazen Bell brought a very interesting portrayal, courtesy of George C. Scott. Royal Dano also did his usual good job. Dano is a character actor who has done more roles than I can count. He’s in at least two shows from season 1 …
The Twilight Zone: Miniature TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Miniature is what I would call a quiet little story, in part because it’s somewhat fairytale-ish. Robert Duvall plays the role of Charley Parkes, a rather mild man, perhaps timid, reserved, and not getting much out of life. He’s lost in the middle of …
GirlFriends
Girlfriends is a very funny and cool show. I used to think it was dumb when I first watched it. But then I started liking it. The reason I got into it was because of Persia White. I thought she was very pretty. Then when I started watching the show …

Sea Hunt: Diamond River TV Show
Sea Hunt: Diamond River opens with an intriguing bit where diver Mike Nelson is working with a scientist in testing an underwater communication device called a hydra phone. I love the idea of this device which allowed clearer and easier communication between divers and those on a boat …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 11: The Original Wives Club
I find From the Earth to the Moon - Part 11: The Original Wives Club to be perhaps the most poignant of the 12 episodes that make up this 1998 mini-series which aired on HBO. This is the story of the wives of the original nine astronauts selected …
