Star Trek (animated) TV Show
In 1973, after the live action had been off the air for several years, an animated version of Star Trek hit the Saturday morning lineup.

Numb3rs TV show
I really enjoy this show - I like the idea of using statistics and other forms of math to solve major crimes, and actually have a friend of mine who works in crime profiling, which I think is pretty cool.
The relationship between the characters is that Don Epps, an …
The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Episode 2: “Brave New World”

The X-files The Amazing Maleeni Episode
This episode of the popular 90s American television show “The X-Files” was one of the most memorable episodes. I watched it many years ago and still cannot forget it because a particular part of the introduction make me cringe. It takes a lot to make me cringe too, as …
King of the Lost World
I have no idea why I decided to watch King of the Lost World on the Science Fiction channel last night, probably because there wasn’t much on. However, I have to say it was one of the stupidest movies I’ve ever seen.
When I watched King of the Lost World, …
Gone but Not Forgotten
I watched Gone By Not Forgotten. A mini series. I had read the book and was surprised to see that the movie followed the book very closely.
Scott Glenn played the defendant, Martin Darius. He is accused of killing several women in Sacremento, apparently he had committed similar crimes …
Made: Cheerleaders
I’m clearly from an older generation as I’d never even heard of the Made tv series until very early this morning when I watched an episode for the very first time. In reality, the show has been on for ten years according to the website. Of course, …
Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror XXI
I have always loved the Treehouse of horror episodes of Simpsons, even if some of them are a little beyond my liking. There are always three stories to watch and hope that one of them is funny. The whole beginning is with Professor Frink warning people about the episode, …
Ghost Hunters: Altoona, PA
I didn’t watch Ghost Hunters at the beginning of its run about five years ago, but I have watched off and on for the last couple of years. They tend to go to a lot of old places that have reported haunts or mysterious happenings. One of …
The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew is one of those shows that blends television with the surreal, not just as the theme for a series but for the half-hour drama being watched. It stars Larry Blyden as the title character. He’s a western star who likes …
America’s Top Sleuths TV Show
This is a special from the Sleuth Channel that was based on viewer votes online. It was billed as America’s Top 25 Sleuths, though this segment only referred to the top 10, giving the results from the tenth place sleuth to the first place. The narrator doesn’t …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 12
As we flee from the threat of our identities of being revealed, we must question the nature of this fear in the first place. Does it exist to torment us, or is it an foolish illusion wrought by man’s own hands? These questions may not have an answer at …
Ghost Hunters: Two to Tango
I started watching season 4 of the show Ghost Hunters last night and one of the episodes, Two to Tango, was someone interesting even though they didn’t really find much.
The first case had them going to the Burlington County Prison in New Jersey with Tango’s dad William after he …
Sea Hunt: The Sound of Nothing TV Show
Sea Hunt’s third season continued with episode 35 which was called The Sound of Nothing, airing in September 1960. This was another show that focused on the commonalities of space and the ocean. Sea Hunt referred to these similarities quite a bit in earlier shows, but it’s …
Entertainment Tonight
There was a time when Entertainment Tonight was a viable, worthwhile entertainment news magazine. I actually saw their first show, so I’ve witnessed a bunch of changes in format, tone, and hosts. While change is sometimes good, it’s also sometimes bad. Right now, when I think …
Masters of Horror: Jenifer by Dario Argento
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 …
Mr. Monk Fights City Hall
Only 16 more episodes remain of the series Monk. And, after last night’s episode “Mr. Monk Fights City Hall” I’m really finding myself not caring too much anymore. And, that’s kind of sad considering this was my favorite show at one point.
The episode, which featured Monk trying to save …
Changing Lanes: Pit Crew Training TV Show
Changing Lanes was a documentary of sorts that aired in 2010 on the BET Network. Over a couple of months, viewers watched several young racers vying to win one of four spots on a new racing team in NASCAR. This new team was called Revolution Racing and …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 51: Hard Knight’s Day
Normally, I really like it when the show incorporates literature and mythology into the plot lines. As such, you’d think that I would’ve been able to get behind this episode as it centers around Arthurian lore. Yet somehow, this episode didn’t work for me as much as …
Laramie: The Lawbreakers
Laramie: The Lawbreakers is a really entertaining episode with some neat humor in it. It all surrounds Judge Barnaby Cade, a convicted robber about to be released from jail. Years ago, his gang got away with a lot of money that has never been found. The …
Models of the Runway: Chic Clique
As I predicted with last week’s Models of the Runway episode, the show is starting to get a bit on the predictable side. Once a designer is eliminated, it is pretty much a given his model will be too since the designers always seem to stick with their models; …
Ghost Adventures (Travel Channel)
I am a horror buff. And around Halloween, I will watch just about anything that has to do with ghosts, goblins, and the supernatural. Having watched Ghost Hunters for a few seasons, I have been spoiled. I love Jay and Grant’s approach to seeking out paranormal …

For Warrick Episode
I finished watching the latest season of CSI: Las Vegas season 9, first episode entitled,
“For Warrick”. I could not believe it myself that they have actually killed Warrick’s character in this series. I have like seen him in all of the episodes of the CSI Las Vegas. He was …
Steve Wilkos Show
If I wanted to cheer for a bully, I’d visit a street corner on skid row and watch bad boys beat up on helpless derelicts, at least I could feel that they were “conflicted” jerks.
I don’t know if I’m more pissed at the dysfunctional guests or Steve Wilkos …
Dexter Season 1 Episode 1
Wow, I cannot believe I waited until this week to see this show. Everyone has been speaking of this show for years. The premise of the show is very interesting. In this, the first episode they lay out the whole plot for the viewer. Dexter …
Chip N Dale’s Rescue Rangers
Chip N Dale’s Rescue Rangers is a great show about Chip and Dale the chipmunks who solve crimes and mysteries. The show is just great and one of my best childhood memories. If you like cute little chipmunks, then you are going to love this show. The music in the …
Charmed Season 1 DVD
The TV Show Charmed is now on DVD. I have a tendency to do everything backwards. To learn thing backwards. And I actually started with Season 8 of Charmed. I had watched a few episodes off and on through-out the run of Charmed on the WB. But never …

Rules of Engagement
I don’t get a lot of time to watch television so I usually don’t get a chance to check out new shows until they’ve been on the air a while.
Last night happened to be one of those nights and I came across the CBS show Rules of Engagement.
While I …
Columbo: Suitable for Framing TV Show
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 …

Dan Curtis is center stage for The Winds of War: Making The Winds of War featurette which takes interested viewers through the process of what it was like to make the outstanding television mini-series, The Winds of War and its follow up, War and Remembrance.
One of the intriguing things …
Roseanne TV show
I just recently started watching reruns of this TV show, and I find it very amusing. It is actually more interesting than many TV shows, just because not everyone in it is beautiful with perfect houses, always impeccably dressed. In fact, they are a bit messy (although clean), with …
PBS KIDS Channel
TV is a all time favourite for everyone. But watching today’s shows with family is not a good idea. There are lot of shows that are not kid friendly and have a negative impact on kids. Not every channel has kids programmes and there is nothing much for toddlers to …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Heritage TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Heritage is a neat hour of family drama that centers on saving a piece of the past for the future. In this story, Hannah McFadden (Terri Treas) becomes determined to save an old school from being knocked down and destroyed in favor of …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Deep in the Heart of Dixie
In The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Deep in the Heart of Dixie, Socrates has fallen for his boss’ secretary. Unfortunately, this whole part of the plot was pretty predictable and sadly for Socrates, I was right with my assumptions. It wouldn’t be a surprise to many …
That Girl: Soot Yourself
This episode of That Girl actually had me chuckling and thinking about a little TV movie called Gidget Gets Married. I’ve never associated the Ann Marie character with Gidget Lawrence before but it just popped into my head that this was going to be what Ann and Don …
The Virginian: The Good-Hearted Badman TV Show
Pete Duel guest starred as The Good-Hearted Badman in this sixth season episode of The Virginian. Back when this show aired originally in February 1968, Duel was using the original spelling of his surname, Deuel. While his brother Geoff continued to use that spelling, Pete changed it …
The Fairy Jobmother TV show
I was flipping through channels and came across the show “The Fairy Jobmother”. I had never heard about the show previously and I thought it was a creative title, so I gave it a try. The show was a professional who helped people who had been hurt …
The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair
My daughter and I ended up watching a couple older Scooby Doo episodes last night; the episodes where Scooby and the Mystery Gang meet Batman and Robin and help them solve crimes involving some familiar characters from that series.
The first episode, The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair, proved to be …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Hobo Friend TV Show
From November 1961, The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Hobo Friend had a superb guest star. Buddy Ebsen appeared as David Browne, a hobo who is befriended by Opie Taylor (Ron Howard).
Ebsen’s laid back manor and easy going acting ability really sells the audience on Browne being a hobo. …
Alan Carr Chatty Man
Alan Carr: Chatty Man is a pretty good show that is usually worth watching. Alan Carr has grown on me since he branched out with this, his own chat show, and I think he is a very funny guy. He will not mind me saying that he …
Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV Episode: Don’t Come Back Alive
I’ve had the Alfred Hitchcock song stuck in my head for the past couple of days for no apparent reason. So, I decided it must be a sign that I should start watching Alfred Hitchcock presents again and loaded it back into my Netflix Instant Watch Queue.
The baby had …
