The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - The Bad Old Days (Episode)
“The Bad Old Days” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This isn’t an episode that’s high up on my list of favorites from the first season or any of the five seasons. It’s not unwatchable, but it’s not one that I enjoyed excessively on my first …
Sea Hunt: Missile Watch TV Show
From February 1960, which was its third season, Sea Hunt: Missile Watch starred Lloyd Bridges as diving expert, Mike Nelson. This show was pretty interesting to watch. That said, I felt Nelson made a couple of dumb moves that made no sense to me at all.
In Sea …
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Cunningham Heritage TV Show
I’ve never seen the Sherlock Holmes TV series that starred Ronald Howard before, so this is very new to me. I have seen several different actors in the role of the famous London detective, but none has ever topped Basil Rathbone. From the first episode of this …
Flipping out
This is a show on the Bravo channel. It’s not of my favorite shows but it is a show that I watch from time to time. It’s a interesting show. It’s about a guy who flips houses. I enjoy watching the show because it’s interesting to watch. I think …
Ghost Hunters: The Stone Lion Inn
Hmm, I watched my final disk in the Ghost Hunters Season 2 DVD collection I’ve been renting yesterday and have to say the one, The Stone Lion Inn, was a bit on the dull side.
The first case was, of course, the Inn, which was supposed to be very haunted. …
Fallen movie
I have seen a lot of movies and television series about how good triumphs over evil, but this one takes that game to a higher level. What will you do if you discovered that your friend is an angel who have been sent from heaven to make sinners atone …
COPS
I like the TV show COPS. It’s very entertaining and exciting. COPS is show that shows the real life events of cops going after dangerous criminals. I like the show because it is very fast paced intense. You will see lots of gun shots fights and crazy things on COPS. …

Collectible Trek featurette
Collectible Trek is a very information look at the world of Star Trek collectibles. This isn’t just a show and tell feature. It does much more than show an action figure and say how much it’s worth at the time this was filmed. It really hones …
Eastwick

The Dick Cavett Show - 2/21/73 TV Show
From February 21, 1973, this episode of The Dick Cavett Show featured Jack Benny, Bill Cosby, and Joe Frazier. It began with the usual monologue, which quickly reminds me why Cavett didn’t make it long run. He’s too dry, which fits his more serious and political style. …
Buzz Aldrin’s debut on Dancing With The Stars season 10
I think watching Buzz Aldrin’s first dance on Dancing With The Stars season 10 was a surprising treat. I’ve followed a lot of the hype leading up to the show, and I didn’t have any high expectations of his dancing skills, but I was surprised, because I think …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Initiative
Well, I guess that explains the commandos running around Sunnydale. Apparently there’s some sort of government run group known as the Initiative and they are interested in capturing and experimenting on vampires; including Spike (who was captured the episode before).
I couldn’t figure out a whole lot about this group …
IRT Deadliest Roads: Death is a Blind Corner Away TV Show
IRT Deadliest Roads: Death is a Blind Corner Away was certainly a hold your breath hour. The thing is that we know nothing fatal is ever going to happen. I just don’t see this series or any version of Ice Road Truckers showing a catastrophe that involved …
Diagnosis Murder: The Bela Lugosi Blues TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: The Bela Lugosi Blues should have been a show that aired in the month of October instead of in January, which it did in 1995, which was about midway through the medical and police drama’s second season. The title alone suggests that it’s an eerie outing, …
FX channel
I watch the fx channel quite a bit on television. They play some pretty good movies on the channel from time to time. I like the channel because of the movies that they play. They play a variety of different movies. Mostly I see action movies on this channel …

“Let’s be happy in our work, Reed.”
That’s the sub-plot them of the Log 51 episode of “Adam-12. It’s a funny episode to watch, with Reed and Malloy just having no luck getting a call that will let them earn their pay for the shift. It’s a carry …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Hot Sauce TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Hot Sauce was another good outing, even though it wasn’t totally my style. The thing is that I really like watching Lucinda. She appears just like any common, everyday woman. Her kitchen set isn’t pretentious. Yes, it has all …

There seems to be an influx of programs on television today that focus on crime and criminals. This one focuses on the actual jail experience. This is a nice twist because most reality shows center on what goes on prior to the crime occurring, or while …
Bones Season 21 Episode 1 -The Soldier on the Grave
There is rarely an episode of Bones that I don’t like. And this one is no exception. But this one is different from the rest of the episodes this season. Usually there is a mixture of serious things with a lot of humour. This time it was very serious and …
Sea Hunt: Mr. Big TV Show
From January 1960, Sea Hunt: Mr. Big had deep sea diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing a form of spy duty again, but I didn’t mind this outing as I have some of the past shows that felt more like spy dramas than underwater adventure shows.
In essence, Nelson helps …
That Girl: That Meter Maid

Adam-12: Log 25: Indians
This review is for Adam-12’s third season episode of Log 25: Indians. One of the major things that stand out in this episode for me is simply the characteristics of Webb-TV. Webb-TV is what is used to refer to Jack Webb TV shows, primarily Dragnet, Adam-12, and …
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe TV Show
As a series, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe was abnormal. It was filmed in 1980 under the banner of Stephen J. Cannell’s talents. It co-starred two prolific actors. Ben Vereen had made big time waves in the mini-series Roots. He was also known for great stage …

Nick at Nite
I grew up watching Nick at Nite. I was born in 1980.
I watched The Monkees, Get Smart, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Green Acres, and countless other shows, such as Mary Tyler Moore.

Columbo: Playback TV Show
Columbo: Playback, from season four, is notable to me for one of its guest stars, Oskar Werner. Werner has done some incredible things, but there is one performance that stands out to me. While I love him in Farenheit 451, it’s his portrayal as Father Telemond in …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Goodbye Iowa
Well, Professor Walsh certainly didn’t last very long on this show. One episode after trying to kill Buffy, she herself is stabbed to death in the episode “Goodbye Iowa.”
The romance between Buffy and Riley already seems strained by this episode too. He doesn’t want to accept the fact the …
Warehouse 13 Season 1 Episode 8 Duped

Death Note the Anime
Death Note is an anime series that took my breath away. At first I was skeptic about an anime that could interest me, but after I saw the first episodes I knew this was going to be special.
The story revolves around Light Yagami, a high-school student, head of his …
The League of Gentlemen - Series One
The League of Gentlemen is a strange show. Set in the fictional, northern town of Royston Vasey populated by a rabble of bizarre individuals; the show, superficially, appears a traditional enough sitcom. But it’s not.
