I don’t fully understand what the title “Tikka to Ride” means but then I have always suspected that there is quite a lot in Red Dwarf that I am missing. This is the first episode in Series 7 and though there are considerable stupid things in any episode …

My wife and I used to watch the show Scrubs when it first came on the air but got away from it for a while. However, we’ve been watching re-runs lately and I find myself wondering why we stopped watching this series.
One of the episodes I watched the other day …

Evie’s Thirteenth Birthday is the very first episode of 1987’s Out of This World, a half-hour weekly show that I just loved. It’s science fiction mixed with comedy, and it has a super cast.
It’s Evie Garland’s 13th birthday, and she gets an unexpected surprise. As it turns …

If there was ever an example of a trifling sitcom, this is it. I hate that I am saying this about a show that pairs a young girl with her father in a single-parent environment. Typically, black single parents on television are usually women. But seeing …

This is the final episode of the first season of MacGyver. By now, the producers had figured out that Dana Elcar was a plus to the show. He’s in it once again, and like the show before, he has more action. In many of his first …

Dancing with the Stars on September 23, 2009 was the first results show of the year, and it was full of special performances. Of course, there was the mystery of who would be kicked off the show, but in the end, it really wasn’t all that much of …

From December 1967, the 12th show of its fourth year, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Blow Up has a new twist for the viewers to enjoy. It’s not exactly the typical ‘body take over’ theme that is so popular in science fiction shows, but it’s more …

It was a very nice episode, although I feel it could have been better. There were some interesting twists of events, but for the most part of it I was a bit bored. It is not that the events of the episode did not matter, it was because there …

“The Infiltration” is an episode from the “Inspector Gadget” television series. A proficient master of disguise is recruited by M.A.D. to take the place of Inspector Gadget, who is supposed to attend an Interpol Conference in London, England, along with Chief Quimby. Since this episode is set in London, …

This is the best TV my family has ever had! All of my friends are jealous! The 1080p picture is absolutely amazing. It also automatically adjusts the resolution to whatever signal is being showed on the screen. So our 480p cable looks good too. Then it switches to 1080p …

The Lost series Is another one of my personal favourites. Lost is like a puzzle that never seems to be fully solved. The stories and acting are first class. The actors do a great job of acting and playing their characters which are very likeable in the story. I …

I recently introduced my daughter to the 1970s cartoon show Fat Albert and she has been watching episodes of it (on DVD) every day since.
I haven’t seen the show in ages and finally got a chance to sit down with her yesterday to watch a couple episodes. One of …

The Andy Griffith Show: Guest of Honor isn’t one of my favorites. I love this series greatly, but even when funny, not every show is one that I adore. This second season entry has Mayberry celebrating Founders’ Day by randomly selecting a passerby to be their Guest …

As it so happens Melinda has recently gotten married to a paramedic named Jim Gordon, they’ve moved to a small town called Grandview and Melinda has opened up an antique shop. Sounds pretty …

It’s revealed to be …

Stargate SG-1: The Powers That Be continues the forced journey into Vala land, a place I really don’t want to go. The only good thing is that she’s dressed in BDUs, thereby finally covering the part of her body that she so unmercifully thrusts upon viewers way too …

Watching Adam-12: Log 135: Arson reminds me a lot of what I’ve been hearing in the news lately. Studies show that human recollection of an observed event really isn’t as wonderful as was once thought. What we witness changes in our minds. That’s why many believe …

If the previous episodes of the newest True Blood season have been uneven, the latest, 3.4 “Nine Crimes” is quite simply disappointing. I can’t say if this is due to source material or simply creative difficulties on the writers’ part, but the pacing is all over the place, the …

As much as you would like to knock Joey Tribbiani on the head most of the time, you can’t help feeling a bit of love for him. He is the struggling actor in the hit series sitcom Friends, which is not in the making anymore. Such a pity, …

Dad teaches Shawn that when you are deprived one of the common senses the other kick in, so he want Shawn to tell him what he can hear. He makes a few movements and throws Shawn’s report in the trash because Gus wrote it for him.
Shawn and Gus arrive …

Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light is another good entry for this puppeteering TV show. There’s some action going on here, especially with Fireball XL5 having engine problems. There’s a bit where the ship goes incredibly fast, actually going faster than light speed. Seeing this on screen is …

The Bold and the Beautiful has been around forever and to be honest it’s a show I have been watching since I was a kid. In school holiday’s there wasn’t a lot of daytime tv on so I tuned in.
I have to say that while I liked the …

One of Bikini Bottom’s famous ghosts, The Flying Dutchman, fears that he has lost his touch to scaring people and seeks out Spongebob for help. Spongebob feels that he can get the flying Dutchman back on his feet scaring people in no time. The Flying Dutchman didn’t …

This show just really grew on me. It started out that my boyfriend would always put it on. But now I’m the one whose always looking through the television to see if it is on. It is one of those shows where you think you can do your homework …

Emergency!: Mascot is really the first episode of the Emergency! series, the pilot movie having come before it. This is the show that introduces the regular Station 51 shift that we quickly grew to embrace. Real life fire department Captain Dick Hammer played, yes, Captain Dick Hammer. …

Right away, this episode held big promises with comedy legends Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd speaking as themselves. It was supposed to be funny and entertaining. The episode hit rock bottom on both promises, fulfilling none of them.
Now that Cleveland has …

Home and Away is a great television show for all ages, however I would say it is mainly targeted at teenagers as most of the characters on the show are teenagers. I have watched this show for 13 years now, I first started when I was 16 years old. …

So begins the era of Tennant. The guy had pretty big shoes to fill as Eccleston’s portrayal of the Doctor was highly praised (and rightfully so). Unfortunately, he spends a majority of the episode unconscious so it isn’t until the third act that we really get to …

Let me explain something from the very beginning: House M. D. is not a medical TV show but a drama with touches of humour that, incidentally, takes place in a hospital.
Gregory House is a doctor of about forty-five years that heads the Diagnosis Unit of the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching …

I think Beverly Hills 90210 is probably one of the worst TV shows ever made. I hate soap operas, so with more reason I hate this show. It’s a show about a bunch of young collage age kids who have sex with other and everyone. Seriously that is just …

One of the owners of White Castle went undercover as a new employee in Undercover Boss. Dave Rife was the brave soul who spent a week in his White Castle operations and learned first hand how things really are in his restaurants.
I was fascinated with how their sliders …

“Mr. Potter Takes a Rest Cure” is another episode in the charming warm and fuzzy BBC series “Wodehouse Playhouse” (see my reviews for other episodes and for the series as a whole. In this episode an American publisher, Mr. Potter (played by Alan MacNaughtan) and a rising English politician …

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says: “There’s No Free Lunch” is the second regular episode of this detective drama, which is really a comedy in drama’s guise, that stars Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum.
Here are a few observances about this hour of entertainment which, by the way, was both …

When Cougars Attack is the latest outing from the soon to be defunct series, The Whole Truth, which stars Rob Morrow and Maura Tierney. I like the way the drama is presented, by giving us the prosecution side of the story and then the defense side. The …

After years upon years of watching The Twilight Zone, there are maybe two or three that don’t immediately pop out at me where I don’t instantly know the story when it comes on TV. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge from season five is one of those. …

In Week 10 of The Apprentice - UK, the two small teams had to select and sale products on one of Britain’s home shopping networks. Donald Trump has done that in America’s Apprentice, too, so it was a familiar concept. Even though the premise wasn’t new, this …

This was a very good episode, …

From the Earth to the Moon - Part 8: We Interrupt This Program tells the story of Apollo 13 from the ground perspective and the newscaster angle, rather than from the point of view of the astronauts and Mission Control. This is in large part because the highly …

This episode originally aired on October 20, 2008. It is not as funny as the other episodes but it does help to move the plot ahead. It may feel a little boring at times. It concludes the romance between Ted and Stella.
The break-up between Ted and Stella has been …

This episode of Secret Life was intense. As usual there was a lot going on.
Lots of weddings ins tore. Adrian’s mom and dad, Grace’s mom, Ben’s parents and possibly Amy’s parents. Maybe it’s something in the water but it sure will have more exciting episodes …

From April 2004, Scott Bryce returns as Stan the Republican in Whoopi: Strange Bedfellows. This is Bryce’s second appearance on the half hour, NBC comedy that stars Whoopi Goldberg as Mavis Rae, the owner of Hotel Lamont. The half-hour show centers around two different plots.
First, there is …

The Wonder Years show brings back to many good childhood memories. This show was a classic. It truly captured the life of a young boy growing up in a family. The Wonder Years is very deep and emotional. I really like this the intro and music when the show starts …

Here Come the Brides: Marriage, Chinese Style was an interesting show. It actually got me thinking about just how varied Here Come the Brides was. I’ve never thought about this before. In this first season, this family drama had shows which discussed and featured the Jewish …
