I really wanted to like this cooking show as I love to watch shows where people are getting down in the kitchen. I also like the fact that there is a black man on television who embraces being in the kitchen. In any case I …

‘Would I Lie to You?’ is a funny game show on BBC1, with television personalities, but mainly comedians, as contestants. This show has been around since 2007 but I only discovered it recently, since the the role of the host was taken over by one of my favourite …

Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 1 has some great moments in it. The premise is that the SGC is being documented. It’s the one-thousandth trip through the Stargate, and they want history to know how the Stargate has helped to shape and save the future.
To that end, a …

I like cable so much better that I do regular Television. There is such a better mix of material on cable than on regular television. One series that is on television is called Myth Busters.
There is this group of men and women that gather together to break …

Turner Classic Movies has produced a wonderfully simple biography on Ron Howard, known to some as Opie on “The Andy Griffith Show” and as Richie on “Happy Days”, and well respected as one of Hollywood’s leading movie directors. It’s called “Ron Howard: 50 Years in Film.”
There’s nothing glitzy …

From 1987, Private Eye: Both Sides of the Coin is one show of this crime adventure drama that I really couldn’t get into. The story somewhat when in my eyes and ears and right out of my head. It’s a scam plot, and they’re a dime a …

This was a very sad episode because of …

Adam-12: The Ferret includes one of those terribly sad stories where ignorance results in tragedy. In this case, a couple’s child is born dead after eating clay based on the recommendation of man who claims to be a reverend, but really is a believer in some very bad …

Television became the lucky recipient of an innovative and quality science fiction series, beginning October 2, 1959. The show was called The Twilight Zone and came from the mind of Rod Serling, who narrates each episode.
The very first episode, Where Is Everybody?, featured Earl Holliman in what is …

1969 was indeed a very good year, at least for the team members of SG-1 when they end up walking through the Stargate and finding themselves not in their own time anymore.
Stargate SG-1: 1969 is really a super fun episode that I adore watching. The team’s reaction to their …

Happy days are just about here again! Full Circle is the final episode of season six of Stargate SG-1, and Michael Shanks returns as Daniel Jackson. The opening scene is sheer heaven. Daniel talks to Jack in an elevator, and it’s just like old times. …

I enjoy watching this show because it makes me laugh. It’s interesting and entertaining. It’s about a comedian named Kathy Griffin. I like the show because she speaks her mind and tells the truth. I also find her to be funny and enjoy watching the show because her and …

From 1974, the animated Star Trek: Bem had the Enterprise hosting a new race, or rather, aboard the Enterprise there was a man considered an honorary observer. His race was new to the Federation. For much of this half-hour show, we really don’t know if this Bem …

After watching a bunch of not so great episodes of Grey’s it was nice to see one that had a good vibe to it. Funny, light hearted and warm and this was that episode, well up until the end anyway where it got sad.
What was cool about this …

Sometimes, the series Family Guy can be a bit over the top. A lot of times, that can take away from the show. Other times, like in the episode “Prick up Your Ears,” it can be a good thing because it was a great way to bring people’s attention …

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 …

This funny episode of friends is named as “The One Where Nana Dies Twice”. This was really a funny episode of Friends season 1. In this episode we get to see at first that Chandler was really depressed because in his workplace many people think that he is a …

I’m typically open-minded when it comes to the cartoons my daughter watches. Most on television have something objectionable but she’s smart enough not to copy what she sees and I do my part to make sure she understands right from wrong.
The cartoon “My Gym Partner’s A Monkey,” which appears …

From season 5 in 1966, The Virginian: Girl on the Glass Mountain was a fairly entertaining episode. I haven’t liked very many of the fifth season shows, but this one does okay. It revolves around a young woman who gets married and wants everything to be just …

When the game show Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader came out, I didn’t think it would be any good. And, because of that, I didn’t watch it.
However, I’ve been seeing some re-runs of the show on some of our local channels and have to confess, it is …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Manhunt is another solid outing for the first season of this wonderful family television series. It’s a bit of a face off between this small town of Mayberry, its sheriff and his deputy, and the bigger state police of North Carolina and the …

As far as Monk episodes go, Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever was actually one of the worse ones I’ve seen.
While the side-plot of Natalie getting a job as television’s lotto girl was somewhat interesting, the reality was the show itself was a bit cruddy because there was really no …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chain of Command, Part One is an episode that I do not care much for. Now the second part to this two part story, I enjoy immensely, but part one does not settle well with me. What bothers me throughout this episode is …

Last night’s episode of Bones, “Mayhem on a Cross” was, for lack of a better word, disappointing.

In the late 1970’s, James Michener’s sweeping novel Centennial was turned into an epic mini-series that sprawled two centuries. With superb acting and great writing and directing, this all-star drama is a must-watch; even the National Education Association said so, actually slapping its label of endorsement on each …

The Universe is a great series that examines features of the universe in documentary style. The show Secrets of the Sun (Season One Episode Two) was, like all the Universe episodes I’ve seen, very interesting. In college, I found Astronomy to be tedious, but if I had had episodes …

Sponge Bob is a great show. I think this show is very funny and creative. But I also think that who ever writes the show is on some serious drugs. I mean the stuff they come up with on this show is really crazy, and very funny. It really out …

Ever since I started religiously watching soccer back in around 1998, because of not having subscriber paid television (DSTV) I have been forced to catch all the matches on the public broadcaster’s soccer show, —˜Laduma’.
As the years would go by I was always pretty happy to sit down to …

Basically, the synopsis of …

There’s yet another Number Two in The Prisoner: The Chimes of Big Ben. This one is played by the blustery Leo McKern, who I remember best from his bumbling crook role in the Disney movie, Candleshoe. Number Two is about to welcome the latest arrival, Number 8. …

Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Sacred Trust is episode 4 of the first season. I loved this continuation series, a show that moved the 70’s hit Kung Fu forward a few generations. David Carradine and Chris Potter starred. Since this was so early on, they were …

The idea …

I have to admit that this episode of Cupcake Wars called Vintage Cupcakes was the first one where I wasn’t captivated off the bat by at least one of the contestants during the first round. This was the taste test repackaging traditional flavors with modern ingredients. The …

The episode, entitled “He Dead” has Shawn and Gus being asked to find a missing airplane, which they do with the help of a map drawn up by some of …

Sea Hunt: The Birthday Present was another show that featured star Lloyd Bridges’ oldest son, Jeff. I did have to chuckle a little early on in the program about Jeff’s portrayal. When we first see him, he’s on a dock, crying his eyes out. That’s what …

Quite honestly, The Twilight Zone: The Four of Us Are Dying isn’t one of the shows that I really want to watch. It’s packed with talent, but the plot just doesn’t go over with me. It’s about a man with the ability to change his appearance on …
