Framed Cop aired in Highway Patrol’s fourth season on television and was in fact the 21st episode. I actually enjoyed this February 1959 outing that showed us another side of the criminal system and how it can impact the police department.
In the course of getting revenge, Sergeant Ken …

Strange, weird, and nonsensical. That’s how I’d describe The Prisoner: The Girl Who Was Death, which has Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) mysteriously back in London and tracking down a scientist being protected by his strange daughter. There’s no explanation for the opening of the story. It …

One of my favourite television series as of late is “Vikings”. It’a almost completely unexpected too, since while I’ve been hearing about how good it was since 2013, I just never thought that I would enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy Game of Thrones. As it turns out …

The League of Gentlemen is a strange show. Set in the fictional, northern town of Royston Vasey populated by a rabble of bizarre individuals; the show, superficially, appears a traditional enough sitcom. But it’s not.
Rather than jump between sketches, putting the same old faces through the same old …

I tuned in “by accident” and started watching this show. I must say that it really is a guilty pleasure. I was happy to see that the women were somewhat “real” instead of a host of model looking women who we’re supposed to believe have …

This episode of Hawthorne entitled A Mother Knows begins with Isabel insisting that her baby, Moses, who is in foster care, is sick. They say that Isabel caused a scene. Then the baby goes missing, and that’s where the center point of the drama occurs.
I really was …

I almost thought this episode was about someone who thought he was a vampire. But someone was breaking into places and hacking people up with tools and then taking internal organs from the victims. Later, the team discovered that whoever was doing it, was actually drinking the blood as …

The Masters of Horror was something Showtime came up with awhile back that I thought was an unbelievably cool concept. All though all the different episodes of this series vary in quality, execution and production values I found something I liked in most of them. One of …

I was looking forward to seeing the one-off drama ‘Worried About the Boy’ and I think it was one of the best things on television lately. It re-enacts the story of how Boy George, of Culture Club fame, rose to fame back in the early 1980s but I …

It has been ages since I’ve watched the show South Park. But, I found myself watching a couple episodes last night. The first one was The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs.
This was actually a pretty funny episode; though a bit grosser than I remember the show being. Basically, the boys …

Dr. Phil was made famous primarily due to Oprah’s belief in his unique ability to provide guidance and support to those undergoing serious bouts of identity crisis, depression, or other internal issues. It was then that Dr. Phil branched off and got his own tv show. The …

Synopsis: In honor of the 420 holiday (4/20 is a big holiday for people who want marijuana legalized), this episode has Brian being arrested for drugs and then forming a campaign to legalize marijuana.
What I liked about this episode: Overall, this episode honestly wasn’t anything overly special compared to …

OK, I�ll admit, I only tuned in this week because the car crash promo had me interested. Who gets seriously hurt; Olivia or Elliott�s pregnant wife?
Overall though, I thought this episode was weak at best. You had a debate about whether a child should know if his father isn�t …

This has to be by far, one of the best tv shows I have ever seen. The tv series is hilarous! It has a growing fan base too. Arrested Development has three seasons. (Hopefully there will be more if they bring the show back). You can watch all of …

Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …

I really like the show Numb3rs which is about 2 brothers, Charlie is a mathematics genius and Don works for FBI so Charlie helps Don in solving the cases. In this episode some Chinese girls get abducted and FBI is looking for them because one of them in a …

After a slumping first half of its season, HBO’s True Blood is finally gaining momentum in its 3.6 episode “I Got a Right to Sing the Blues”. With Bill Compton revealed as disloyal and Eric Northman entering the house of King Russell under false pretences, seemingly in order to …

To be honest, I don’t really watch television game shows all that often. And, the show Deal or No Deal isn�t an obsession for me like it is for many of my co-workers. But, if I’m bored, I have no problem watching.
There are two things that are fascinating about …

Due South: The Edge is about a theft that occurs inside the Consulate. The problem for Benton Fraser is that he actually saw the culprit, but didn’t come away with any information other than that the man spent a lot of time outside (based on what his hands …

I really wasn’t that impressed with The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Brisco in Jalisco except for the opening scene that included Robert Fuller and Paul Brinegar as two of the tycoons who had hired Brisco County Jr. to work for their association. They are only in the …

Happy days are just about here again! Full Circle is the final episode of season six of Stargate SG-1, and Michael Shanks returns as Daniel Jackson. The opening scene is sheer heaven. Daniel talks to Jack in an elevator, and it’s just like old times. …

I liked the first episode of the series “What’s New Scooby Doo” but I’m not sure if I was a big fan of the second “Mummy Scares Best” simply because it was a bit too predictable.
The problem with this episode, which features a mummy trying to scare people away …

Code Geass Episode 6 has Lelouch trying to track down a cat that has gotten away with his Zero mask.
This episode was different from the others and it’s a way to get away from all the serious episodes for a little bit. It was rather funny to see …

Supernatural season 2 wasn’t nearly as good as the first season and it also wasn’t quite as good as some episodes in the third season, but it was still pretty good. The first season ended on a cliffhanger and the first episode picks up right where that one ended. …

Synopsis: Spongebob and Squidward are given the task of delivering the very first Krusty Krab Pizza to a customer. However, when Squidward lets Spongebob drive, they end up stranded in the middle of nowhere instead.
What I liked about this episode: Of all the Spongebob episodes, this one has to …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Anthem Sprinters begins with the finding of a first edition of a James Joyce book by an American writer named Raymond Douglas. He’s played by Len Cariou, who I know as Bruno’s dad in the TV series, Fame. Here, he no sooner …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Genesis” is the closest this show ever got to telling a Halloween-like story. There are several scenes that are designed to “shock” the viewer or send waves of trepidation at the viewer. One such scene occurs after the crew begins to “de-evolve” after …

You know what, I had a lot of hope for last night’s Ghost Hunters episode at Essex County Penitentary. After all, they had Josh Gates (from Destination Truth) helping them out so you would think they would find something. But, it was actually a bit disappointing.
First of all, why …

The Maalaala Mo Kaya Episode of Cherry Pie and Sarah Geronimo, I think is one of Sarah’s best performances in her acting career. The story was about a family of 3, her mother her and his older brother who has to always move home because they are not able …

After being disappointed by the Monk Season Premiere, I was glad when Psych came on to save the day.
The season premiere of that show “Extradition from British Columbia” turned out to be much better than expected and I think I’m starting to think of this show as my favorite …

The wonderful thing about M*A*S*H: Heal Thyself from the latter part of season eight is that it’s an unassuming beginning full of laughs and comedy that suddenly becomes a powerfully dramatic program. Some might see it coming, but I doubt anyone really had a clue just how Heal …

Yet another lifestyle show. I watch lifestyle/magazine shows whenever I see one. This show titled Fit and Fab is a new lifestyle/magazine show. It was on air for only a month, once in a week. It tackles about woman empowerment and how to be fabulous and fit even with …

Ross Martin guest stars as Dale Kingston, who kills his uncle for art in Columbo: Suitable for Framing. Kingston has one of those very serious art shows on television. I’d never watch it. Kingston, though, is enamored with art, and he kills more than his …

In this hour of So You Think You Can Dance, the top four became the top three finalists. It began, as always, with the introduction of host, Cat Deeley. Unlike last night, she looked fantastic. She had a clean and simple line in this show. …

National Geographic specials focus on history, nature, and events around the world. A National Geographic special entitled Diamonds of War talked about the illegal diamond trade. I first became interested in blood diamonds, as they are called, after watching a movie called Blood Diamond. This movie …

I had seen the television series of Transformers. I liked the series very much. When a movie was released of the same kind, I was overjoyed and expected it to be way better than the series. And it was exactly that way.
The movie revolves around the life of Sam …

The fourth season was ebbing towards its last fourth when Have Gun - Will Travel brought viewers a show called Everyman. It’s a bit of an odd tale, one mixed in the belief of the tarot cards, which is often controversial.
The San Francisco opening had Paladin (Richard Boone) …

I am embarrassed to admit that as an African-American I am just now seeing the mini-series Roots for the first time in my late twenties. BET recently had a marathon of it for Black History Month, and I thought it would be the perfect time for me to sit …
