Columbo: Now You See Him TV Show
Columbo: Now You See Him is another Jack Cassidy appearance, and those are ones that make me groan a lot. For whatever reason, a Cassidy guest starring role means a boring show to me. He just has a smirk and a demeanor as these villains that go …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Hail and Farewell TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Hail and Farewell is an interesting story that puts a new twist on living forever. We’ve seen it done many times. The Twilight Zone and the original Star Trek are two examples of shows that have dealt with this. However, this episode …
CW Network
So, the WB and UPN has decided to join companies. Theyre now calling it the CW. The CW has will be premiering, i think, September 18. They will include shows from both networks. I’ve seen the TV Guide channel, and they had som info about what shows will be …
Castle TV Series
Castle is one of those shows where the main characters always have a witty or pithy statement as the last word. The conversations between the characters are quick and engaging; the actors do have good chemistry together. The great thing is that while the show is very focused on …

Adam-12: Truant
I enjoy Adam-12: Truant quite a bit. Jim Reed (Kent McCord) puts in a suggestion for a new truant program to help keep kids off the streets and drop the crime rate in the area. This is one of the shows that exhibits Jim’s sharp mind and …
Stargate SG-1: Enemies
Season 5 of Stargate SG-1 blasts its way onto the screen in a show called Enemies. It’s a good show well worth the hour watch.
Stargate SG-1: Enemies picks up where Season 4’s cliffhanger, Exodus, ended. One of the early scenes is a poignant conversation between Jack and …
Legend: Skeletons in the Closet
Legend: Skeletons in the Closet is a sort of odd ending to the entire Legend series, which only survived for these twelve episodes. In my opinion, the show never really found itself. Some shows focused so much on Nicodemus Legend persona being an unwilling hero, but heroic …
CHiPs: Dog Gone
I do get a kick out of this Dog Gone episode of CHiPs. Dog Gone is the third episode and as the title indicates, there’s a dog at the core of it all. It starts out with this adorable pooch wreaking havoc on the highway. Jon …
Voyagers!: Cleo and the Babe
Voyagers!: Cleo and the Babe brings the voyagers to the Ides of March and Cleopatra. I don’t mind the story, but Andrea Marcovicci just doesn’t match the magic and lore of Egyptian queen. She doesn’t sound like a queen. If anything, she sounds like a whiny …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 7: The Doctor’s Daughter

Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 5

Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The color of revenge!
This episode is unique in a lot of ways. A lot of the episodes have Batman team up with a different DC superhero. This one has him team up with Robin. Also, the cold opens usually act as their own mini-episode. While that’s the …

M*A*S*H: Depressing News
M*A*S*H: Depressing News is a very good episode that is also thought provoking at points. The setup begins when a truckload of 500,000 tongue depressors when they’d only ordered 5,000. It’s an obvious error, but it’s one that strikes a chord inside of Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda). …
Desperate Housewives Season 4 Episode 6
You guys have watched Desperate Housewives Season 4, Episode 6..? You should, if you haven’t. It is really a good and amazing episode and this would be one of the most favorite episodes ever in this season 4.

The X-File Excelsis Dei
This is the 35th episode from the popular 90s American television show “The X-Files”. I don’t remember watching this one when I was little, or on the SciFi cable television channel, however, I did watch it a few months ago online. For some reason I did not find this …
Parental Control (MTV)
Ok, here is a show that I have huge problems with. First of all, let’s start off with the premise of the show. For one thing, I don’t really get the idea of trying out other dates in an effort to figure out whether or not …

CSI New York Season 4 Episode 21
The beginning of the episode immediately grabbed my attention. It was just so unusual, I have not seen a setting like this used before. There are many shows where a team needs to examine the evidence without access to the lab or in an enclosed environment. But to be …
Wagon Train: The Duke Shannon Story
Towards the end of the fourth season of Wagon Train, Denny Miller (then going by the name of Scott Miller) joined the cast as a regular. The Duke Shannon Story is his introduction to the show. The story begins with his grandfather, Henry Shannon, filling Charlie Wooster’s …
Cupcake Wars: Hot and Spicy ALMA Awards TV Show
My hunch is that the Cupcake Wars: Hot and Spicy ALMA Awards was an early show and perhaps even the pilot for this new TV series because there were a lot of things different from the way the show was run. In fact, even the standard bits spoken …
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
This has got to be the stupidest of all the prime-time quiz shows. I’ve got to admit that I’m not a big fan of the all these new quiz shows, and I don’t really understand their appeal. The title actually gives you an elevated idea of the content — …
Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends
It used to be I would only tune into Cartoon Network for their Adult Swim line up after 9:30 at night. Now, I’m watching almost all the time in no small part to their show Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.
Centering around a foster home for abandoned imaginary friends, the …
Ghost Adventures TV Series

Alias Smith and Jones: Wrong Train to Brimstone
Alias Smith and Jones: Wrong Train to Brimstone is an important show for the series in that it’s the very first time we meet the character of Harry Briscoe as played with wit and brilliance by J.D. Cannon. Cannon is probably best known for being Sam McCloud’s boss …
The Young Rebels: To Kill a Traitor TV Show
Sadly for me, To Kill a Traitor was the 13th and final episode of The Young Rebels, a really terrific show that focused on the historical days of the Revolutionary War. At the heart of the show were four young people, all giving their all to beat the …

Stargate SG-1: Seth
Stargate SG-1: Seth is another episode that some of the actors of the series thought was pretty bad. The whole premise seemed weak to them, the idea of a Goa’uld still living on Earth and having achieved nothing but a tiny cult like following seeming ludicrous. Still, …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Pokemon, I Choose You! (Episode)
“Pokemon, I Choose You!” is the first episode of the animated television show, “Pokemon”. As the first episode of the series, it works on a number of levels. For one thing, the first episode of any new television show needs to establish the primary characters and provide the primary …
Due South: The Ladies Man
The season continues with Due South: The Ladies’ Man, and overall, I wasn’t that impressed. However, there were a couple of cute moments that I enjoyed.

Columbo: The Complete Second Season DVD set
Columbo fans everywhere were delighted when Universal released the Columbo: The Complete Second Season DVD set. This set is put together differently from the first season one, which is a bit nicer in my estimation.
There are just four DVDs required for the set, since there were fewer episodes …
Columbo: Death Lends a Hand TV Show
I have to say truthfully that the absolute best scene from Columbo’s Death Lends a Hand was the very last one. There was this super conversation between Columbo and the father of the murder victim. In that talk, the police lieutenant reveals his mischievous past and his …
Orchestra United: Episode 2 TV Show
The second episode of Orchestra United was a little slow for me somehow. I can’t really put my finger on it, but there was something that didn’t keep me as hooked as I had been. Still, the hour long episode from the United Kingdom had some solid …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 12: Fear Her
I didn’t have high hopes for this episode. From what I’ve read, I got the impression that this was supposed to be one of the stinkers of the series. Honestly, it’s not that bad. It’s not great, to be sure, but it has a lot of …
