The Virginian: Rope of Lies TV show
The Virginian: Rope of Lies is aptly named. Of course, it could just as easily be chain of fools. The short of the matter is that everything is manipulated by a beautiful lady, who manages to convince just about all the men in her life to do …
Jennifer Aniston on Ellen
I remember watching Jennifer Aniston on Ellen and it was really cool. Jen is very humble and natural and she has this great hair, even years before. I think it was a long-time episode come to think of it now, because at that time she was still married to …
The Twilight Zone: A Hundred Yards over the Rim TV Show
Cliff Robertson does a great job in The Twilight Zone: A Hundred Yards over the Rim, a show from season two of this great series. Robertson is a man crossing the prairie with his family. When his son gets a sickness, he leaves the wagon to go …
The Fugitive: The Iron Maiden
The first thing I noticed when I watched The Fugitive: The Iron Maiden again was that it guest starred Richard Anderson. Anderson was one of TV’s most used actors from the 60’s to the 80’s. He was on absolutely everything at one point at another, and like …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Jonah and the Whale
The first episode of the second season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was a show entitled Jonah and the Whale, and it brings with it some big changes as well as some subtle alterations. First, the show began airing in color. What a difference …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-16-10 TV Show
September 16th’s episode of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show, which starts off the Home block of daytime programming on the Hallmark Channel, began with a couple of cute dogs. I guess these critters belong to Martha and apparently they are now starring in their own webisodes over on …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: George Burns TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast presented a 90-minute roast of the legendary George Burns. Filmed in Las Vegas, there were a lot of comics on the dais, which isn’t surprising.
What made this fun is that Burns was in control the whole way. When Gene Kelly stood and …
Jennifer Love Hewitt on Ellen
I watched Jennifer Love Hewitt on Ellen the other day and this is another appearance by love on Ellen’s show. She looks very lovely, sophisticated and definitely in love, with her 100 year old ring given by her fiance’s great grandma. How sweet is that. She has …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 6
Cowboy Bebop Episode 6 has the crew of the Bebop after a boy named Zebra who can’t age because of something that happened a long time ago.
This episode is very interesting because it takes a cliché plot line of the immortal human being and makes it a …
CSI Season 10 Episode 1
I stopped watching CSI for a long time, although I had always been an avid fan. It was just that I had not much chance to watch TV with all the writing I was doing. So I guess I felt lucky to have been able to catch this …
Chopped Television Show
Although I will admit that I am a terrible cook, one of my favorite television stations to watch is Food Network. I love learning about the history and uses of different foods and seeing others create innovate dishes using ingredients that I have never heard of. One …
Dr. G: Medical Examiner
Dr. G: Medical Examiner is about Jan Garavaglia. Actually, it is her show! Dr. Jan Garavaglia is a medical examiner in Florida and Dr. G: Medical Examiner is about her cases. Don’t run off yet, this show is very information and interesting. You will not see blood and guts …

Survivor Guatemala TV Show

CHiPs: Pressure Point
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 …

Dark Blue (The TV Series)
Dark Blue is a serious series on the lives of deep undercover police officers, so deep that even their fellow cops do not know about it. I think the title is so appropriate considering that the series deals with the dark side of life. I can feel the tension …
Stargate SG-1: The Ties That Bind
Stargate SG-1: The Ties That Bind continues the foolishness of season nine with the bracelets that link Daniel and Vala together. They actually end up going all over the galaxy to try and find the secret of the bracelets. It’s like a huge scavenger hunt, in which …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Big House TV Show
From May 1963, The Andy Griffith Show: The Big House is the final episode of the third season, and it’s a pretty good one. It focuses on Andy, Barney, and Gomer, and that means one thing: good comedy.
The basic story has a couple of robbers being captured by …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 14
The episode starts with the scene in which we see Parker talking to himself, but there are actually two Parkers, one is eating the chicken and drinking beer and the other tells him that the bubbles in the beer are going upside down and that his addition to the …
The Prisoner: The Arrival
In the early moments of the first episode of The Prisoner television series, I have eerie glimpses of Farenheit 451 and Logan’s Run. I believe this 1967 series predates both of those movies, but it’s just odd seeing some of those things that make me think of the …
Columbo: Requiem for a Falling Star TV Show
Requiem for a Falling Star from the second season of Columbo is one of those shows where Columbo acts all befuddled at meeting a celebrity. It’s an act Peter Falk has down pat in this character of the police lieutenant. He disarms the star by practically falling …
Space Force, TV series (2020)
It’s funny to see how the Chinese have become the main rivals of the Americans instead of the Russians. They are ruining American satellites and squeezing a piece of land on the moon. That’s me talking about the Space Force series.
Remember when Trump threatened to create these troops? A lot …
The Fugitive: Dark Corner
Tuesday Weld is the main reason for watching this show. The Fugitive: Dark Corner is all about the Weld’s character of Mattie Braydon, a blonde sex-kitten type of gal who is spoiled and conniving. Oddly, she’s blind in this story, which makes her come off as sweet …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Nasty Patty
I came home from work yesterday and both of my daughters were watching Spongebob Squarepants episodes on Netflix Instant watch. Most of the episodes (from the third season) were episodes I have seen before. But, there was one that was actually new to me called Nasty Patty.
At first, I …

Bart is desperate to prove Lisa wrong. He phones up Australia and talks …
Criminal Minds TV series
The Criminal Minds TV series fits well with all of the other crime investigation drama out there because it is different but still comfortable. The crimes are more graphic - if I wasn’t already desensitized by other shows I would say too graphic, and they probably are too graphic. …
The Phone show
I’m almost afraid to admit that I’ve been watching The Phone. After all, it’s on MTV and it’s from the mind of Justin Timberlake. Now that’s scary!
The Phone is an overly dramatic program that has made stunt people very happy. The stunt bill must be enormous for …
Logitech Harmony 300 Universal Remote
I recently purchased a Logitech Harmony 300 four function universal remote from Best Buy for 39.99. The Remote was a great buy.
I have owned universal remotes before, and I’ve often had trouble with the button configuration and programming. The Harmony 300 was simple, easy and effective. It is very …

The Two Coreys: Episode 1.8 - Fly Away Haim
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 …
Californication (Showtime TV series)
I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about whether I would like this little show. Other cable series have shown that shock value is all the rage. Programs like “The Carnivale”, “Six Feet Under”, “Weeds,” and even “Sex and the City” have groomed the viewer …
Sea Hunt: Skipper TV Show
The initial focus of Sea Hunt: Skipper is the Hamilton Cup, which is a speed boat race. Mike Nelson’s friend, Johnny (Mark Andrews) and his fiance Jill (Jana Lund) were relaxing the day before the competition. He’d won his heats and had the best three lap average. …

The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Ill-Gotten Gain TV Show
Every kid in America had to feel for Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) in this episode of The Andy Griffith Show. It’s their hope and their nightmare both. The show, Opie’s Ill-Gotten Gain, from November 1963 begins innocently enough with Opie attempting to do his math homework, only …
The Santa in the Slush
Normally, when I watch an episode of Bones, I’m impressed with it. Last night was one of the exceptions.
Quite honestly, for an episode that received so much hype from Fox, you would think it would have been better.
First, let�s start off with the kiss that was supposed to be …

House TV Episode: Guardian Angel
There wasn’t much on TV tonight so I ended up watching a re-run of the show House that I might have seen before but really don’t remember; Guardian Angel.
This is one of those episodes where he has lost his original team and is still trying to pick a new …
That 70s Show: Sparks
Oh My God, that was one funny episode of the series That 70s Show. I thought I would have a hard time breathing as hard as I was laughing.
Basically, this is one of the episodes that took place when Eric and Donna were going to get married. She gets …

Synopsis: After being told she needs to find a new sound, Hannah (Miley) decides to become the anti-Hannah and sing a song that is much edgier than she normally does. However, her dad and her friends think she might be taking things too far.

Super Mario Bros. Super Show
Mario was once everywhere. I mean, Mario is still a very popular character and Nintendo’s been churning out more fantastic games starring the plucky plumber, but back in the eighties, and even into the early nineties, Mario was on everything. Much like how Pokemon was slapped onto every single …
Psych TV Episode: Rob a Bye Baby
Since everyone else was occupied with something else yesterday and I didn’t have much else that needed to be done, I decided to watch another re-run of Psych on my Netflix Instant Watch. This time around, I ended up watching the episode Rob a Bye Baby.
Much like most other …
Dawson’s Creek
I’ve watched every season of Dawson’s Creek and although I can’t remember how many seasons there were I’m sure it was least seven. I loved the show from beginning to end.
Why?
Firstly it’s such a well written show that shows teenagers to have a depth of understanding most people …
The Virginian: Two Men Named Laredo TV Show
The Virginian: Two Men Named Laredo isn’t too bad to watch. It actually was unusual in that the 90-minute western dealt with mental illness. At the center of that was Fabian, who showed some acting chops in his portrayal of Eddie aka: Josh Laredo. He joins …
Match Game show
Have been watching an older game show on the game show network. It surprised me how entertaining it is. It has the host and six television stars on a panel. The host reads the questions, they are in comedic form with a blank the stars have to …

From September 2002, the pilot of John Doe, a new science fiction series, brings us the basic story of an amnesiac person adjusting to life without a past, only with the twist that this man seems to know almost everything, except for his identity.
Visually, one of the interesting things …
The Apprentice UK: S6, Ep 2 TV Show
I have to say that for the most part, I am preferring the United Kingdom’s version of The Apprentice UK over the American one. It’s more how British Lord Alan Sugar handles the show. It’s not the same as Donald Trump, and he has more surprises, though …
