Have Gun - Will Travel: A Miracle for St. Francis is the tenth show of the sixth season, and it is directed by William Conrad, who has taken the helm on several other episodes of this western series. Once again, we don’t get a San Francisco scene, which …

I believe that you can’t judge a show a show by the first season. Most shows usually need the first season to get the characters established and for the writers to find their footing. Great shows like Seinfeld and The Simpsons even needed two or three seasons …

There wasn’t much on TV this past weekend and my wife and I were too tired out to watch an actual movie so we decided to watch re-runs of Bones instead; starting with one that we had never seen before, The Woman in the Sand.
This episode, overall, proved to …

In March 1963, the Darlings didn’t just come, they arrived, and they did it in their own unique style. The show was The Andy Griffith Show: The Darlings Are Coming, and it was the first of several shows that would feature this folk singing family from the hills.

Since summer is a slow time, television-wise, I tend to watch a lot of the new pilots. Sometimes this results in discovering gems, such as when I started watching “Big Love” or “Mad Men”, and sometimes it’s a waste of my time. Having seen TNT’s “Rizzoli & Isles” pilot …

From November 1993, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Crystal Hawks started off with great curiosity as our hero is on the run, having been accused of murder. While I’m not that thrilled with the murderous drama of the tale, I did like guest star Sheena Easton as …

Gundam Wing is an undoubtly excellent series. Everything involved in the creation of Gundam Wing is incredible based on my experience from watching the whole series. The anime’s high quality effects and superb action blows up my mind every single time I watch it. And just like my other …

Stargate Atlantis: Ghost in the Machine is the fifth episode of the fifth and final season for this SyFy TV series. Never let it be said I can’t say something good about this series that I’m not fond of because I’m saying here that this episode was actually …

There is a cartoon that is on Noggin which has only been on for about 3 months now. It is called Little Bill, and is a cartoon created by Bill Cosby. This show is geared towards a much younger age range than Cosby’s other cartoon he was affiliated with, …

The episode which featured Benjamin Bratt on Ellen Talk Show was quite alright but I was hoping for a more better looking Benjamin Bratt. His look was very messy and unkempt and how I wished he looked like in his younger days whereby he has this jet black hair, …

A young boy whose drawings come to life with grisly consequence provides the premise for this episode; a relatively straight forward stand alone that neither excites impresses.
For a start, the storyline once again feels like something out of a more fantastical show than an X-Files episode, showing that …

Synopsis: The TAPS team investigates the old US Mint in New Orleans in an effort to capture evidence of the hauntings that have been reported there.
What I liked about this episode: The US Mint is a pretty big place and I’m glad the team took the time to spend …

Medium: Talk to the Hand had a very different beginning. The opening teaser has Alison with Mr. Bill about safety. Mr. Bill was such a contemporary figure a couple of decades back. I was never that amused with him, but once you see him, it’s hard …

The television series “Cow and Chicken” was one of the most popular cartoons on the cable television channel Cartoon Network from the late 90s to the early 2000s. I can remember most of my friends liking it and having discussions about it even in high school. I didn’t like …

From 1965, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Left-Handed Man was a second year show, the sixth of the season actually. The series starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison, my favorite, as Captain Crane.
Following are a handful of observations about this show:
–This stands …

The Twilight Zone: The Big Tall Wish is not a favorite episode. For one thing, it moves too slow and for another I just don’t like shows that deal with boxers. In this case, it’s Ivan Dixon appearing as an over the hill boxer who has a …

The letter home theme gets a bit of a twist in M*A*S*H: Dear Sigmund when visitor Sidney Freedman, a psychiatrist, comes for the monthly poker game and starts a letter to his friend, Sigmund Freud. While doing so, he talks about the magic of the camp and the …

I have watched Matt Le Blanc on Ellen and he is as awesome as he is on the show Friends. Even with a serious look, I just can’t help laughing at Joey’s expression and he looks like he is very calm, cool and collected. He talks to Ellen …

I have been watching Joel McHale host The Soup for years now, and I never get tired of watching him tear into reality TV stars, plastic-looking talk show hosts and other general douchebags every week! I don’t watch much reality TV, and generally try to steer clear of …

Jess Harper (Robert Fuller) is acting as sheriff in Laramie as the action in this hour of Laramie begins. Entitled The Killer Legend, this is a very strong hour of programming and one that I just love to watch. Before the opening teaser ends, Jess finds himself …

If you purchase the 30th Anniversary Special Edition DVD of Blazing Saddles, you will find nestled within its handful of special features the pilot episode of the never televised series Black Bart. I was very interested to see this myself, considering that Blazing Saddles is one of my …

When I heard about the fact that the CW was making a show about the book series by LJ Smith - The Vampire Diaries I was excited. I read these books as a child and loved them. I was anticipating what the CW was going to do …

ABC Family has apparently had enough success with its “Secret Life of an American Teenager” to decide to follow that with another lifetime-movie like series, this time centred not around the issue of teenage pregnancy, but that of teenage obesity. Curiosity made me view the pilot and the most …

Janine finally gets some vacation time, and uses it to bring Egon to meet her folks. I know that she’s crushing on Egon, but this seems to imply that they are in a bona fide relationship. Egon even says that he’s not ready to meet her folks. …

When I watched Friday’s episode of Monk “Mr. Monk Paints his Masterpiece,” I found myself extremely disappointed. I’m not sure if the writers are running out of material or if maybe they want other cast members to get more recognition but this episode was no where near as good …

In this episode the case is totally in the second plan, I don’t even remember what it was all about. It started at a bachelor party when the stripper entered a hotel room and found everyone dead. The team realised that the bachelor party was a cover story because …

ULTRAMAN! ULTRAMAN! ULTRAMAN! WOW! ULTRAMAN! IT’S ULTRAMAN! WOW! Yes, it is ULTRAMAN! That cool Japanese superhero who could grow up to superhuman size and battle big dinosaur monsters from outer space. Luckily, he was the Science Patrol helping him, although they never seem to be very successful. This is …

The Discovery Channel just aired a program on The Rapture that I found rather interesting. The Rapture encompasses the idea of Jesus coming to rescue people who have had faith in Him prior to a seven year period of earthly damnation. I was surprised to learn that …

The Phoenix brings the X-Men to the Shi’ar ship with the M’Kraan crystal.
Unfortunately, space pirates board the ship, steal the crystal and take Cyclops hostage. Being a comic fan, I know that Corsair is Cyclops’ father, and it’s revealed in this episode through Phoenix’s telepathy, but …

This is the last season of All in the Family to be released on DVD even though the show ran for nine years before changing its name to Archie Bunker’s Place. It’s a shame that the remaining seasons haven’t been released and it’s possible they never will be considering …

As the episode opens, Rose gets a sudden urge to go see her father. He died when she was young and Rose was told that he died by himself. As she now has a time machine, she asks to be taken to him so that she can …

The start of the second season takes a more realistic approach to the show compared to the first season’s seemingly scripted and light-hearted attitude towards everything. It’s six months after the first season and the two Coreys haven’t spoken to each other up until now. This episode begins with …

Teletubbies usually runs on the local stations. Its a very good program for babies and very young toddlers. Babies are fastinated by the teletubbies movement, singing, and dancing. They love “Nunu” which is the teletubbies little vaacum cleaner. Teletubbies love to hug and dance and play. Each episode features …

Season four of The Andy Griffith Show continued with Hot Rod Otis on February 17, 1964. The basic premise of the half hour program has Andy and Barney worried when town drunk Otis Campbell (played beautifully by Hal Smith) buys a car.
First up, though, is some competition madness …

The Scorched Feather is the 22nd episode of the second season for this black and white TV western series which stars Richard Boone as Paladin, gunfighter for hire. The guest star of note in this specific episode is Lon Chaney who plays William Ceilbleu. Written by Bruce …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Pancho didn’t impress me, especially with the way it began.
Paladin (Richard Boone) finds a young Mexican buried in the ground. As he starts to dig him out, he is stopped by the man who put the boy there. Here’s what is odd. …

Boy, do I not like this show, Diagnosis Murder: My Baby Is Out of This World. In fact, in my view, it was a horrible way to end a TV season. I think they should have reversed this one with the one that aired before it, which …

Laramie: The Legend of Lily is an episode that focuses a lot on Jonesy, played with style by Hoagy Carmichael. Jonesy is completely star struck by Lily Langtree, who is coming to town to give a performance.
Constance Moore guest stars as Lily. She brings a refined grace …

Alias Smith and Jones: The Girl in Boxcar #3 has some drama and poignancy to it, and while I enjoy it, it also is the first show that has Hannibal Heyes (Pete Duel) and Kid Curry (Ben Murphy) apart for much of the time. This serves to allow …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Teacher is a second season entry from this half-hour western. It’s filmed in black and white, but that helps this show I think. Color is fun, but sometimes drama is better conveyed in this simplicity.
What is unique about this show is …

From season one, Night Gallery: They’re Tearing Down Tim Riley’s Bar was the first of two segments and William Windom, Diane Baker, Bert Convy, and John Randolph in the principal roles.

This production piece called Designing the Final Frontier was another very intriguing look inside the world of Star Trek. It focused on the design elements, of course. Matt Jeffries is interviewed in late 2002. A few things stuck out in my mind.
One was the naming of …

This is an interesting series that I sometimes watch on the cable television channel called WEtv. I like watching it because not only is it like shows like Forensic Files and so on that I like to watch, but this one seems a little different in the sense that …

The Twilight Zone: Still Valley is another one of the shows that I’ve never been all that crazy about. It’s a little spooky and weird, not in a scary way but just in its telling. It involves some black magic, and that’s not my thing either.
This is …

The September 15th edition of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show pretty much bored me. I just am not a fan of hers and while she was a bit more relatable with her audience, she isn’t someone I enjoy watching.
One segment of the show involved designer Tory Burch, which …

This episode begins at Harold’s bedtime and it’s raining outside. He tries to fall asleep but the sounds of the rain make him curious as to where the rain comes from. So he takes his purple crayon and heads out for an adventure on learning where the rain comes …
