Stephen King’s Rose Red TV miniseries
I recently watched Stephen King’s Rose Red on the SyFy channel. It’s in three parts, with the first part being a buildup of the various characters and the backdrop of the story, the second brings in some action, and the third finishes the story with even more action.
…
Nana Televsion Show
Nana is the second anime I have seen by manga artist Ai Yazawa, an it lived up to all my expectations. I was highly pleased with the drawing style, the originality in design, the great choice of music, and the heart put into the storyline. It was …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Justice
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Justice is the first Prime Directive episode done on this series, although unfortunately, I do not think it is one of the show’s better “message” type shows. In this episode, the Enterprise crew visit a world that is very peaceful and quite laid …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Loaded Goat TV Show
In January of 1963, The Andy Griffith Show aired a show called The Loaded Goat. The funny thing to me is that because of the way the show is edited for television in reruns, I had stopped watching this episode. I never knew the outcome of the …
Top Shot - Zipline of Fire TV Show
The first episode of Top Shot fascinated me enough that I tuned in for this second episode. I love the host, Colby Donaldson of Survivor the Australian Outback fame, who is well suited to this outdoorsy show which strives to find the best shooter of the bunch. …
Highway Patrol: Oil Lease TV Show
From its second season in December 1956, Highway Patrol: Oil Lease centers around a couple of thieves who steal thousands of dollars with the assistance of a stolen bazooka weapon. Now that’s a twist, especially for when this show was produced.
The thirty minute program was mostly action as …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 11: Boom Town
I wasn’t really looking forward to seeing the Slitheen again as their first appearance didn’t really blow me away. Surprisingly enough, this episode was much improved. We learn that one of the Slitheen from “Aliens of London” and “World War Three” managed to teleport to safety at …
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 …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: No Place Like Home
Have we forgotten about Willow lately? It seems that she doesn’t have too much of a role in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes lately. She’s there, just not very prominent.
Take the episode No Place Like Home. Buffy is starting to feel like something weird is going on at …
Project Runway Season 1 Episode 2
There is something to be said for a person with a great sense of humor, and Jay Carroll proves he’s that person in this episode.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 18 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 18 has Batou and the Major in Germany trying to track down the terrorist known as Angel’s Feathers.
This was a very interesting and well done episode. It showed an interesting side of Batou and showed off his detective skills …
Jessica Alba Dark Angel
I have recently started to watch the TV series Dark Angel. Jessica Alba is the main character, and I have to say that she could use some acting lessons. Sometimes she over acts, and sometimes she under acts. She does not seem to be able to …
M*A*S*H: Of Moose and Men
There’s something I really notice about M*A*S*H: Of Moose and Men, and it’s something that applies to season four in its entirety thus far. It’s the Frank Burns character. Larry Linville plays the part so well. It’s not all that easy to play an idiot. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Memories of Monica TV Show
Off the bat, let me say that I really don’t like these early season six shows that don’t open with a San Francisco teaser. Instead, they are getting right to the action. We miss the fun side of Paladin, that other part of him that is fancier: …
Dancing with the Stars: S11, TV Theme Week Results TV Show
The results show for the TV Theme Week edition of Dancing with the Stars’ 11th season opened tonight with an attempt to set up that possible upset that would keep viewers tuned in for the full hour. They did this by starting with the two lowest scoring couples …

Psych TV Episode: And Down the Stretch Comes Murder
Everyone is still in bed this morning so I decided to watch a re-run of Psych that I have not seen before called And Down the Stretch Comes Murder.
I wasn’t sure what to think of this episode at first but it ended up being pretty entertaining and I definitely …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mist of Silence TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mist of Silence, episode four, opens with a lot of action as we see an attempted murder of a Latin American President. I never really like this kind of thing, so when I see this type of opening, it makes …
I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here - TV Series - ITV1
This show has now had many series. Once a year a group of so called celebrities leave Britain for Australia and the jungle for phenomenal amounts of money. How has Im A Celebrity remained so popular.
For me, this is simple. The two most famous people on the show are …
Big Brother Australia
I have mixed feelings about the show Big Brother. Sometimes I like the show and sometimes I can’t stand it. For those of you who do not know about Big Brother, it is a reality TV show, where 12 people go into this house and the whole nation watches …
Adam-12: Citizens All
One thing that always stands out about Adam-12: Citizens All, a fourth season episode of this crime series, is the segment in which actor John Smith portrays. Smith is notable to me because he co-starred in my all-time favorite TV series, a western called Laramie. He’ll always …
Shararath
Shararath is another interesting programme or serial which is being telecasted in the TV channel called Star plus. Star plus is a very interesting channel in which they telecast many kind of serial and programmes, which are very interesting. And the story of shararath is also very …
Highway Patrol: Mental Patient TV Show
Highway Patrol: Mental Patient was a bit different for this early and highly respected police drama. Anthony George guest starred as an escaped mental patient. He runs around in his white garb and robe and eludes capture for quite a while. He also becomes accused of …
Highway Patrol: The Search TV Show
The first story of the second season of Highway Patrol was called The Search and aired in October 1956. It’s a pretty basic story, I’m afraid. It’s all about a murderer who is trying to avoid capture. He’s a charming sort and manages to get people …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid TV Show
From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid is a terrific show. It’s so dramatic, but I love the humor in it. This 19th show of the third season begins with a cute scene in the control room of the Seaview. It …
My Life - Episode 1 - My Life
This was a great day to start my story about my life and all the people you will know as time ticks on. Days and months which pass and yes, even years. But no I am not going into lots of detail throughout my story. I will tell you my …

Ice Road Truckers: A Legend Meets His End TV Show
Ice Road Truckers: A Legend Meets His End had two story segments that held my interest more than the others. Traditionally, this show follows several truckers as they work the ice roads or, in the case of this season, dangerous roads. There really aren’t that many ice …
The Lazarus Man: The Catamount
The Lazarus Man: The Catamount is the tenth episode of the series which aired in 1996. Here’s what I still don’t get about the main character. Lazarus has flashbacks which we see. I assume we’re seeing what he remembers. Well, I’ve heard ‘Presidential guard’ and …
That Girl: Secret Ballot
Secret Ballot opens on Halloween with Don Hollinger arriving in costume to tease his girlfriend, Ann Marie, better known as That Girl. The season three story actually has nothing to do with Halloween, but it was a nice way to acknowledge the event without devoting an entire episode …
The Simpson’s TV Episode: To Surveil With Love
When I first saw the commercials for the new Simpson’s episode To Surveil With Love, I have to admit, I thought it would be better.
The episode, which has Springfield in a panic after Homer accidentally leaves plutonium at a diner and it causes a huge detonation, has its moments. …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Bye Bly
Just when we thought the evil John Bly was gone, he’s back in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Bye Bly. Big time groan. As played by Billy Drago, he just is one weird looking bad guy. However, this is the show that gives us a …

Columbo: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Season DVD set is comprised of three DVDs, just like earlier seasons. Consumers need to remember that Columbo was part of the Mystery Movie lineup and tended to air just once a month during a season. As time passed, even that …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Never Help the Devil TV Show
Never Help the Devil is the 31st episode of the third season of Have Gun - Will Travel. It still amazes me how far down we’ve fallen, going from a glorious time when there were close to 40 shows in a season and now we think 13 works. …

M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice
There are a few notable things about M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice from the fourth season of the medical comedy series. First, it’s just the fun of watching Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) trying to work some magic and get Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) tomato juice for breakfast …
Home Improvement TV Episode: Future Shock
I couldn’t find much on TV at lunch today and ended up watching a re-run of Home Improvement called “Future Shock.” I normally like this television series (which I have only seen in re-runs because it was on at a bad time when it was still on the air). …
Bizare Foods with Andrew Zimmern (Series on the Travel Channel)
The travel channel show, Bizarre Foods with Andre Zimmern, is too great a show to break down into merely one episode. Besides, Andrew Zimmern does the exact same thing in every episode just in different places all over the world. I would have thought that that would be boring …

The Candlemaker cartoon
The Candlemaker, a cartoon from the golden era from Halas and Batchelor, actually began in a way that really drew my attention. It talked about how things used to be before modern inventions and such. I loved that opening quite a bit. I suppose it seems …
Fox News Channel
Fox News Channel is an interesting phenomenon to watch, if anything. Famous for their slogan “Fair and Balanced,” they are anything but. Bias resonates through almost every word iterated by one of the Channel’s many columnists. The half-hour news reports are fairly standard fare, but the …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-14-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer’s second show was on September 14, 2010, and I must say these two women need an infusion of energy and personality. They did at least welcome the viewers this time before entering into their boring interaction. Not only that, but Alexis showed …
