Sea Hunt: Midget Submarine brought to mind memories of watching an old favorite show of mine, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Now potentially the idea for the flying submarine could have come from Sea Hunt’s use of this midget submarine since this show predates Voyage. …

Every pilot episode of a tv show should do three things: introduce the characters and the plot, set the tone for the series, and draw the viewer’s attention.
‘Blink’ achieves all three easily. The plot is, of course, similar to all the other procedurals out there, and as a part …

Here Come the Brides: After a Dream, Comes Morning is a wonderful episode of this family show about a trio of brothers who brought 100 brides from the civility of the city to the growing town of Seattle, Washington. This show is a essentially a flashback to what …

I missed this when it was first televised, and was only half interested - it looked like yet another adaption of Pride & Prejudice, and to me you still can’t better the 1995 BBC series.
But then I noted that it had a twist. And it’s a great premise. Amanda …

The choir began nine months until the world choir competition in China, and in this second hour long show, viewers find out whether or not this group of amateur high school singers cut the muster and are accepted to participate in this event. The choir master, Gareth Malone, …

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 …

Miss Rosemary lasted one episode, and I believe Hilda Mae was in two shows. Now, at last, we meet Barney’s true love, Thelma Lou. They’ve apparently been dating, but he’s having a time of it trying to talk with her about anything other than police business.
Here are …

From August 1961, Sea Hunt: Roustabout was the 33rd show of the fourth season, and it was okay entertainment. As always, actor Lloyd Bridges played diving ace, Mike Nelson, with conviction. He’s not a perfect character, but he does have passion.
Kenneth Tobey is the primary guest star, …

Here Come the Brides: Lovers and Wanderers is all about love, especially that emotion between Big Swede (Bo Svenson) and Miss Essie (Mitzi Hoag). The catalyst for some disruption in this happy relationship is a deal struck by Joshua Bolt (David Soul) and a man for some lumber. …

The third episode of the first season, “Shadow of Malevolence”, picks up from where “Rising Malevolence” left off in the ‘Malevolence’ series of episodes and follows Anakin Skywalker as he leads a platoon of long-range Y-wing bombers in an engaging strike on General Grevious’ battle spacecraft, the Malevolence, with …

I finally got a chance to watch the entire episode of The Simpsons called “Little Girl in the Big Ten.” This one proved to be pretty darn funny.
Lisa is enrolled in gymnastics and, because she is the same size as the college girls enrolled in class, they naturally assume …

I have to admit that one of my guilty pleasures of daytime television is “Divorce Court”. I have never been married and I can only assume that going through a divorce is a difficult thing to go through; however, when I watch “Divorce Court” and see some of the …

Super Mario World - “Send in the Clown” is my favorite episode of the cartoon series. Part of the reason I really enjoy this episode is because this episode actually features a fight between Mario and Koopa that resembles the battle at the end of Super Mario World. It …

Jon and Ponch (Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada) end up on a special detail in CHiPs: Pressure Point from season two. The story evolves around the wealthy Arthur Forbinger, played with gusting exuberance by Rudy Vallee. Nothing Vallee does is low key, regardless of storyline. He …

As with many episodes of South Park, this episode tackles the social issue of the use of slang words outside of their original context. With the invasion of loud obnoxious bikers, the kids of South Park start calling them by a certain “f” word most known as a derogatory …

So You Think You Can Dance, a “reality tv show” created by the minds behind American Idol and shown on Fox, is by far the most entertaining show in the new millennium. Aside from the not-so-quality entertainment acts sometimes brought in for elimination night, this show is family friendly …

With the new changes with the netorks, you can always expect Saturday morning catrtoons from Cartoon Network. Since the WB has cancelled Pokemon from their list, you kids are missing you catching. Well now you can catch them on Cartoon Network. Saturday mornings, you can catch Pokemon at 9 …

I love the show Psych but, for some reason, I ended up missing most of the second season of the show (I think I was working or something). So, in my spare time, I’ve been trying to catch up on it by watching the second season on our Netflix …

The December 8th episode (titled Our Father) of Heroes started out with Claire and Hiro back in time, with Hiro trying to get his memory back. They were at the home where Hiro grew up and his mom was there (never had seen her before). It was …

Star Trek’s third and final season begins with a dramatic outing called Spock’s Brain, which begins with a beautiful young woman popping up on the Enterprise bridge, knocking everyone out, and walking away with Spock’s brain, hence the title of the episode.
I love the scene on the bridge when …

Sometimes, when you have a television series that has a serial plot-line, you end up with a somewhat weak episode that is primarily meant to introduce new plot points for the season.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, “Homecoming” fits this description.
The whole Buffy versus Cordelia for homecoming queen thing …

My favorite part of Hawaii Five-O: Pray Love Remember, Pray Love Remember is about a third of the way in when McGarrett has a conversation with a young girl named Mioshi. McGarrett’s been investigating a murder at an educational institute and is still searching for clues. While …

Sex And The City is a show that I missed during it’s HBO debut and run. I knew of the show, but just don’t watch enough TV to devote time for a series. When Sex And The City became syndicated on TBS, I began watching. Was I surprised! What …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Hail to the Chief, the 16th show, has the Commander-in-Chief suffering from a serious fall right before he’s suppose to attend a huge NATO event. This means the Seaview has to help get him where he needs to be while ensuring …

I missed a good portion of the second season of Bones so when everyone started talking about the Gravedigger in last night’s episode “The Hero in the Hold” I was a bit lost about the whole thing; especially when they started talking about being buried alive.
However, the episode itself …

The 28th episode of Sea Hunt’s second season was called Underwater Ejection and focused on deep sea diver Mike Nelson, portrayed by Lloyd Bridges, hunting down nose cones from space craft. The man has some interesting jobs, that’s for sure.
Mike Nelson opens the show with an injury, which …

This episode picks up pretty much where the last one left off. After the whole ordeal with the storm, both Sokka and Katara have fallen ill. Aang promises to get them some medicine.
If you thought Sokka was amusing on a regular basis, just wait til you see …

The second season of Roseanne was pretty good. There were a lot more laughs than I was expecting, especially since this season came out in the late 1980s or early 1990s. I thought it would seem really dated and hard to follow, but it actually held up a lot …

Star Trek: Mudd’s Passion is another one of the 1973 animated TV series that follows up on the actions of a show from the original live action show. In this case, I, Mudd, which was the second episode to include the character of Harcourt Fenton Mudd. Played …

I had high hopes for this special. I really did. It has all the makings of a fantastic episode. You, once again, have the Doctor arriving at a fixed point, where he is seemingly helpless to do anything, which adds a nice level of tension. …

I didn’t have high hopes for this episode. From what I’ve read, I got the impression that this was supposed to be one of the stinkers of the series. Honestly, it’s not that bad. It’s not great, to be sure, but it has a lot of …

I’m not big on silent movies, and that’s probably why I’m not a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Invaders and never have been. The only dialog in the entire episode is the spoken narration at the beginning and the end by host, Rod Serling, plus a …

Bones is an excellent new show on Fox. It is about a forensic anthropologist who aides the FBI in solving crimes. She is able to study bones (hence her nickname) and help work backwards to figure out what happened, who the person was, and who or what killed them. …

At first four hours on The Battle of Britain felt a bit excessive. They had managed to fit the all of it into part of one paragraph in my high school history book, but then perhaps it’s just that as Americans we don’t much like being reminded how long …

CHiPs: Rally ‘Round the Bank has one element I’ve actually remembered for years, going back to when the episode first aired on February 3, 1979. In the episode, Frank Poncherello’s mother shows up unexpectedly for a visit. This creates some light humor at the beginning as Ponch …

As the three-night premier of this season’s Dancing with the Stars continued, it was the ladies who were center stage. There were two ‘wow’ performers for me, and both of them shocked me.
The first was Mya. Now, honestly, I don’t even know who she is. Apparently, …

Ross and Monica are devastated to find out that their Grandmother is really sick in the hospital and they are called to come to her bed and say their goodbyes. When they do arrive at the hospital, they find out that she has already passed. When they go into …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Machines Strike Back, episode 12 of season 2, guest stars Roger C. Carmel as Admiral Halder. I always thought Carmel should have had the John McGiver role in the toy episode or even the Victor Buono character from a few …

Sea Hunt: The Dancer, the fifth show of the fourth season for this underwater adventure series, aired in February 1961 and focused on diver Mike Nelson’s attempts to rescue a lady diver. He’s called in by the Coast Guard to assist. The diver and her companion had …

My wife and I watched the season finale of Ghost Hunters Academy last night, Final Exam. It was an OK episode because I think it ended explaining more about the series than the rest of the episodes did.
For one, we learned that, instead of going home, the class members that …

It is The Simpsons 138 episode and they have named it Spectacular Episode. Basically this episode accounts for all the previous episodes of The Simpsons when they featured on the Tracy Ullman show. I must say, the animation has improved a lot. Compared to what it was, which was …

One of my favourite television series is a comedy “My Name is Earl”. It’s about the day to day life of a man named Earl who lives in a small town in the United States. He has a list of all the people he wronged over the years and …

I enjoyed Sea Hunt: Monte Cristo quite a bit for several reasons. For one thing, when we saw scenes in the ocean, we saw some of the sea life. It was a little bit more than some of the shows I’ve seen lately.
For another thing, I loved …

CSI Season 4 Episode 3- Homebodies
That was a very average episode, I did not think much about it. Some of it was just plain boring. So it was good, since the show is great, but compared to other episodes on the show, this one was a bit disappointing.
Grissom and …

That Girl: Counter Proposal is the first episode of the fifth and final season of this wonderful ABC comedy starring Marlo Thomas as aspiring actress Ann Marie and Ted Bessell as writer Don Hollinger. This is the pivotal episode that fans had been waiting for. It’s the …

This has got to be the stupidest of all the prime-time quiz shows. I’ve got to admit that I’m not a big fan of the all these new quiz shows, and I don’t really understand their appeal. The title actually gives you an elevated idea of the content — …

The Smile ok please is the name of the TV programme, which is very very interesting and is the favourite programme of all the TV lovers. This programme is being telecasted in the POGO channel. Now the Pogo the channel, which is running its programmes on our …

The Jeffersons didn’t touch on serious subjects too often like the series it was spin-off from, namely All in the Family, but in the case of this episode, “Florence’s Problem”, it did try to explore a situation that wasn’t entirely comedy-themed, although the writers still manage to give characters …

Even after well over a decade since it was last on our screens, apart from a rather badly conceived “Back to Earth” special shown in 2009, Red Dwarf remains - at least as far as I am concerned - the greatest of all science fiction sitcoms. The BBC stuck …
