M*A*S*H: Germ Warfare
Always bucking the system and putting their patient’s first, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) treat a North Korean, much to the consternation of Frank Burns (Larry Linville) in M*A*S*H: Germ Warfare. In fact, Frank complains to Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson), who tells …
FIOS TV

The Gods Must Be Crazy 4 dvd
Before my father bought this dvd for himself, I had never heard of the comedy series “The Gods Must Be Crazy”. I was not very eager to watch it either, even though I like comedies, and when I overheard my father watching it for the first time, I was …
The Simpsons Episode The Good, The Sad and the Drugly
I haven’t watched too many episodes of The Simpsons lately, other than some of the older re-runs that they show at 6 p.m. during the week. But, I did get a chance to watch a newer episode last night (though still in re-run); The Good, The Sad and the …
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story was a hoot and one of the best non-Robert Fuller episodes of Wagon Train. Fuller actually missed several episodes due to an accident, so it’s a long stretch without seeing Cooper Smith. Still, this story had some fun in it.
Melanie …
Hawthorne: No Exit TV Show
No Exit was labeled the season finale of the Jada Pinkett Smith drama show, Hawthorne. There have been just 10 episodes in this very short season, but for the most part, they’ve been decent ones. This one in particular was extremely intense and compelling. It was …
Fireball XL5: Space City Special
Fireball XL5: Space City Special is a wonderful, terrific, and very special episode of this puppet TV series. I believe it was probably the season ender, or shown at a break because it aired in June and then there is a break until the next episode aired in …
Family Guy - Season 9
For a show that got canceled twice before, Family Guy had been doing a great job in giving exactly what it had promised, 30 minutes of funny jokes and scenes where you ask yourself what movies they took that from. Yet, …
Stargate SG-1: The Devil You Know
The Devil You Know, from season 3 of Stargate SG-1, concludes the events begun in the prior episode, entitled Jolinar’s Memories. For me, this second part is so much more exciting to watch.
On a mission to rescue Sam’s father, Jacob, from hell, otherwise known as Netu, SG-1 become …
Emergency!
Emergency! is an astounding, groundbreaking TV series that aired on NBC beginning in 1972. The show’s star was Robert Fuller. Now this is offbeat casting, but that’s how Jack Webb wanted. Webb loved to go for things that were different and having cowboy veteran performer Fuller …
Stargate SG-1: Abyss
Finally, a season six show worth watching. It’s one of three. Stargate SG-1: Abyss is the return of Daniel Jackson, sort of. Now Ascended, Daniel shows up to help Jack, who has been implanted with a Tok’ra symbiote. The symbiote took Jack by force to attempt …

Futurama TV Episode: Anthology of Interest I

BBQ Pitmasters: Season 2 Premier TV Show
The second season of BBQ Pitmasters premiered this week. I only caught a few token scenes of this series last year, so this is really the first complete show of the show that I’ve seen. I do recognize some of the faces, though, including judge Myron Nixon, …

MacGyver: The Road Not Taken
I suppose season two just isn’t as fun for me as season one of MacGyver was. This is another show that just doesn’t quite tickle my fancy as some others do. It’s plenty watchable, with good moments, but it’s another old flame returning, and not just for …
The Night Before Christmas
This animated tale, The Night Before Christmas, is not to be confused with the traditional Father Mouse story of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. This is another tale that is more current, in the computer age, in fact, though it does still include a mouse family, only these …

The X-Files Lord of the Flies Episode

Crime 360 show

Operation Repo TV show
Operation Repo: is one of the most action-packed shows on TV (with it airing every Monday at 9:30 p.m.). It shows the job of a repo man/woman in “extreme” situations.

Super Mario World - Born To Ride

The Jetsons
The Jetsons is a great TV show that started in the 60s. But later there were more shows made in the 80s and the re runs were shown for decades. This is a great show, and I really love how they thought the 21th Century was going to be. The …
