Ever since our old TV started to show signs of breaking down I had been thinking for a replacement. I finally decided to buy a new one last month, a Sony Bravia HDTV. It was a 22 inch flat LCD, model KLV BX300. The original price was 1000 Saudi …

“Log 132″ of “Adam-12″ is a classic, and it’s one we can all identify with. What happens when your dog has puppies? You have a lot of puppies you need to find a home for, and that was Jim Reed’s focus in this episode. Not much …

It’s Captain B.J. Huneycutt’s (Mike Farrell) turn to write home, and the recipient is his wife, Peggy. It’s an okay show, but it lacks the cohesiveness of some of the early letter home episodes.
One of the fun tidbits is Hawkey Pierce (Alan Alda) going for the record book …

Invasion was the April 28, 1962 of Have Gun - Will Travel. It is not a favorite episode as it was all about some military fight. Basically, it’s part of the Irish revolution and revolves around the character played by Robert Gist, Gavin O’Shea.

The 8th show of Black Gold’s third season on the air was, well, lackluster and highly repetitive in my opinion. In essence, the hour picks up where they left off in the 7th show with the workers letting off steam at the bar, only that is where a …

I’m almost ashamed to admit it, but I’m hooked on American Idol, and if I miss an episode, my day’s not quite complete. I’ve been watching from the very beginning, since the initial auditions, and since then, Crystal Bowersox has been my favorite contestant.
Now that they’re almost down …

In the finale of the first season, Haim makes Joanne (wow, she’s back!) breakfast and screws up the kitchen in the process. What a lovely surprise this is for Susie and Feldman when they discover it that way. However, looks like the breakfast was all for nothing as Joanne …

The third season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is routinely vilified by fans of science fiction as a tragic end to an otherwise phenomenal program. The main problem with Season Three was the fact that it generally centered on some truly awful and ludicrous plots that …

Wagon Train: The Sam Pulaski Story is an okay entry for the western series. It features guest stars Ross Martin, Annette Funicello, Stanley Adams, Jocelyn Brando, and Harry Carey, Jr., among others.

This episode is one of the few were their food source, the jungle, actually does not keep up with their survival food needs and in this case the lack of citrus fruits causes problems. But the problem does give an interesting fairytale flavor to it. Perfect for a young …

Stargate: Infinity: The Natural is another lesson show. Actually, I think they all are, but it seems that the last half of the season is much more focused on that than the first half, or maybe it’s just standing out to me because it seems to be so …

I love watching Ghosthunters, and today there is a Ghosthunters marathon being aired on Syfy. Although I didn’t start watching this one from the very start, I think I was lucky enough to catch it some time after it started and see the GHI team in action capturing so …

When the episode “Mr. Monk Goes Underwater” first aired, I had to be somewhere and didn’t get a chance to watch it. Tonight, I finally got a chance and found it to be entertaining.

The problem with M*A*S*H: White Gold is that it’s too much of a vehicle for guest star Edward Winter who returns as Colonel Flagg, the rather odd CIA agent who often ends up at the 4077th unit. I was really surprised by how much time Winter got, even …

The two-part season seven entry of Stargate SG-1 known as Stargate SG-1: Evolution had a lot of potential but paled in so many ways, thanks mostly to bad choices by the producers.
The first thing to note about Stargate SG-1: Evolution Part 1 is that part of the story credit …

After watching Due South: I Coulda Been a Defendant, I find that I really do miss the real Ray Vecchio, as played by David Marciano. I’m not enjoying the fake Ray Vecchio at all, as played by Callum Keith Rennie. I just don’t even like the idea …
