For a western, The Virginian did do some very different things. For example, The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day includes a day at the lake with visitors in their swimming suits. Not only that, but the opening scene includes a phone call in Denver. A western …

The great and awesome Jimmy Stewart is the Man of the Hour in The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was taped in Las Vegas. Right off the bat, I’ll say that the wonder of this hour is the quality of the talent there to roast Stewart. There …

Alias Smith and Jones: The McCreedy Bust, the second episode of this series, sets up a recurring character in Big Mac McCreedy, played by the robust and highly entertaining Burl Ives. The character comes back repeatedly throughout this western show. He’s a delight because he’s crafty, and …

As a student of the great ship Titanic, any story about it, fictional or otherwise, intrigues me. It should come as no surprise then when I say that Voyagers!: Voyagers of the Titanic is a show I enjoy watching a great deal. I say this even though …

I believe that magic intrigues most everyone. How many times have you wished you could just chant a rhyming spell and change things? I don’t mean that you expect it to happen, normally, but, that it is IN the back of most people’s minds, that it certainly would be …

I ended up finishing my Psych mini-marathon last night by watching the season 1 episode “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me; Oops, He’s Dead.” Yes, I know that’s a long title for an episode (something that is somewhat common with this series), but it turned …

Stargate SG-1 followed the adventures of a U.S. Air Force team, titled SG-1, that was assembled to fight evil alien parasites, named Goa’uld, who use humans as hosts and for slave labor. The stargate, an interplanetary portal that was unearthed in the movie, was the team’s sole method …

I have to say, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Enemies” really had me fooled when I watched it; and that’s not something that happens very often.
I knew from a couple episodes back that Faith had entered the services of the mayor and was no longer fighting evil; she …

Originally having aired in August 1990, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Usher II guest stars Patrick MacNee as a man named Stendahl. It’s a futuristic yarn where the extremely wealthy Stendahl exacts revenge against those who were responsible for the banning and burning of books; more specifically, his library …

The opening banter of Adam-12: Log 175: The Con Artists is cute. Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) complains to his partner, Officer Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) that his father-in-law is continually buying toys and things for his baby. It’s cute as he worries about there not being …

Invasion is a weekly series on WXYZ at 8 pm central on Wednesday nights about a community that goes through a horrible hurricane. During this hurricane, alien beings come down into the water and take over human life. When people go into the water, the alien form that looks …

Stargate SG-1: Prodigy is somewhat of a let down, mainly because Michael Shanks isn’t in it at all. He was given the week off to concentrate on the upcoming episode that he was directing. Actually, this wasn’t originally how it was supposed to be, but it’s how …

In M*A*S*H: The Tooth Shall Set You Free, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) has a nasty toothache but refuses to see a dentist, actually denying he’s in pain at all.
While the comedy portion of the show centers on Winchester, the drama is about the latest group …

Everybody Loves Raymond is based on the comedy of stand-up comedian Ray Romano. I got hooked on this show when a friend of mine who hardly ever watches this TV starting telling me about it. I figure if he likes it, there’s got to be something worth watching here. …

Within the past year, I seem to have gotten farther and farther away from watching mainstream television shows, and I, for one reason or another, have become more interested in Court TV. Maybe I am just tiring of redundant television concepts, or maybe it is because I am …

I watched CSI VII the episode on Empty Eyes and it was so scary that I still remember the gory details up till now.
This was based on a true crime story and it made me sick thinking of the killer. Yeah he was caught in the end, …

I have gotten re-hooked on the show A-Team recently and, growing tired of waiting for re-runs to air on TV, I ended up loading the first season of the show on my Netflix player.
One of the episodes I watched yesterday was really the third episode of the series (after …

Synopsis: Series premiere of the show introduces Dr. Dorian as he starts serving his residency at the hospital for the first time and meets the people who are working there with him.
What I liked about this episode: I think the best part of this episode, for me at least, …

From 1982, Tales of the Gold Monkey was the other version of Bring ‘Em Back Alive. Both were in the same vein right down to their pre-World War II eras. They are adventure stories with mystery and intrigue. One starred Bruce Boxleitner, and this one featured …

Dead Like Me: Reaper Madness was the first episode of this series that I just sort of watched and enjoyed calmly. One of the reasons is that I do love happy endings. I like positiveness. I’m just not into doom and gloom and offbeat stuff that …

I enjoyed Sea Hunt: Monte Cristo quite a bit for several reasons. For one thing, when we saw scenes in the ocean, we saw some of the sea life. It was a little bit more than some of the shows I’ve seen lately.
For another thing, I loved …

Monster Episode 13 begins with Tenma and Dieter go to a small village and they meet the town doctor after Dr. Tenma helps a man after he was hit by a car. Dr. Schumann asks Tenma for help around the village and tries to talk to a woman …

I’ve been curious about this new discussion type series with William Shatner called Shatner’s Raw Nerve, but I’ve never watched it until now. This is probably the tenth or so episode that I know of, and it featured Leonard Nimoy. I’ve seen Shatner and Nimoy in person …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Let’s Play Poison aired in February 1992, and to be honest, I thought it was going to be a lot better than it proved to be. In fact, what began with some potential for real intrigue and storytelling ended up being a huge disappointment …

The Twilight Zone: What’s in the Box is a crazy thirty minutes focused on the evils of television, or maybe it’s just focused on an evil television. Sterling Holloway, whose unique voice makes him a unique performer, guest stars as a TV repairman who performs some special alterations …

The beauty of The Twilight Zone: Ninety Years Without Slumbering belongs to one person and one person only — Ed Wynn, who portrays Sam Forstmann. Sam is a kind older man living with his daughter and her husband. He has with him an old grandfather clock, a …

Every once in a while, I’ll come across a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode that uses a concept that has been done maybe a dozen times in various other shows and cartoons. The Replacement is one of those episodes.
Once again, the series decides to focus on one of the …

“Raphael” is a documentary that covers the life and times of Raphael Sanzio. He was considered one of the most gifted artists to evolve from the Renaissance era responsible for The Transfiguration and The School of Athens artworks. Along with Da Vinci and Michelangelo, he concluded an almost holy …

Star Trek: The Galileo Seven is a good one. It’s another that deals with the issue of prejudice aimed towards Mr. Spock. It’s odd that so many would harbor ill will in his direction, but it’s constant throughout the series. The catalyst for the drama here …

From September 1992, the cable television series The Ray Bradbury Theater presented a show called By the Numbers which starred Ray Sharkey. The action begins with a lot of military like shouting, but then transports us to a train. It’s weird right off the bat as one …

While I really like the new season of CSI episode 3 was a bit disappointing. I think that the creators of the show were attempting to make a really “cool” episode, with hot girls and cars in it, but the result ended up being a little bit show off …

I have recently started getting back into watching the television show Big Brother. The show is currently on season seven. For this season they have brought back players from the past six seasons to form an all-stars group. In the show a group of people live together in a …

From November 1956, Highway Patrol: Typhoid Carrier has Chief Dan Mathews (Broderick Crawford) and his California Highway Patrol dealing with a potential outbreak of typhoid in the small community of Indian Valley. The problem is a man who is a known carrier of the disease. Frightened when …

There’s a huge guest cast in Hawaii Five-O: The Box. Everywhere you turn, there was a familiar face, and that always makes a story more fun in my opinion.
Gerald S. O’Loughlin, Gavin McLeod, R.G. Armstrong, and Al Harrington are a few of the familiar faces in this cast. …

Max Headroom: Grossberg’s Return is one of those scary episodes, not because of monsters and unseen horror, but because its fiction isn’t hard to envision happening in our very crazy world. This show often puts up questions of ‘what if’ for us to ponder by making it viable …

The Twilight Zone: Shadow Play is one of those shows I just don’t enjoy watching. It’s a difficult show because I simply feel for the situation. It’s a nightmare. More than that, main performer Dennis Weaver plays his part with such pain and conflict that it’s …

Dead Like Me: Sunday Mornings showed how JD the golden retriever was adjusting to life with the Lass family. It was their first semi-normal moment since the series began. I’m still worried about the dog, and it’s distracting me from the rest of the show.
A.J. Cook guest …

The second I saw this show started on January 21, 2016 I immediately knew it was going to be one of the shows I was going to like, but with this episode this show became my favourite show of all. DC Legends of Tomorrow is about a group of super-heroes …

If you’re into paranormal stuff and ghosts I strongly suggest you watch Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel on TV or on your computer. I watch it on HULU.COM for free. This isn’t your everyday television show.
The show isn’t set up to prove ghosts exist but more to prove …

Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice is always full of the unexpected. In this second edition of the celebrity-studded game, my favorite is Scott Hamilton. However, from the moment I heard he was going to do the show I was certain he’d be eaten alive. He’s a good …

Have Gun - Will Travel: A Snare for Murder starts out with the action right away, so there’s no San Francisco scene, which is disappointing. However, what happens is pretty good entertainment. Right from the start, Paladin (Richard Boone) ends up in a mess. He helps …

I have accidentally discovered an absolutely amazing TV show called Haven. After watching the first episode I did not know what to think about it. I knew that the creators of the show have worked with Stephen King to create a TV series that is based on a …

MacGyver: Lost Love Part 2 continues where part 1 left off. MacGyver confides in Jack about what the Russians want him to do in order to save Lisa’s life. Lisa is the woman Mac was once going to marry, only she was shot and supposedly kill at …

I am not a fan of Seinfeld. To me, it’s one of the most boring comedies ever on TV. The only reason I watched The Comeback is because the IMDB lists one of my favorite actors as being on the show. He is on it, or …

CSI Season 4 Episode 12- Butterflied
This was a very powerful episode, not as much for the investigation part of it, but the back story. The victim in this episode looks very much like Sarah, which has a very deep effect on Grissom and he refuses to rest before he …

I have watched Season One of Dawson’s Creek and am on the second epi of Season Two. I don’t know why I’m writing this review because I almost have no opinion; I’m not sucked into the show yet like I feel I should be. The writing is good, the …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast continued with the Man of the Hour, Dan Haggerty, best known as Grizzley Adams. The dais featured a few performers known for playing similar outdoor characters along with the usual suspects of ridiculous ‘why bother’ comics.
To be honest, this was the most boring …

I went home for lunch today and, since I had the house to myself (everyone was out running errands), I ended up watching some TV. There wasn’t much on so I ended up watching a re-run of That 70s Show; First Date.
This is apparently an episode from the first …

“Rosie Live” was an attempt in November 2008 by NBC to revive the musical. Unfortunately, they never gave it a real chance to succeed.
The show starred Rosie O’Donnell. Now, I’m a little mixed on Rosie. I liked her in the early years of her talk show. …

Well, at least the models in Models of the Runway have something to do this time around besides sit around and wait to be eliminated.
Since the designers in Project Runway are forced to create one additional, last second outfit for their fashion show, they need to find an additional …
