Have Gun - Will Travel: The Englishman
There’s always something humorous about seeing the proverbial duck out of a water, someone thrown into something that isn’t their element, and as the title here — Have Gun - Will Travel: The Englishman — notes, this story from season one is about an Englishmen who comes to the …
NCIS TV show
I have watched every episode of NCIS currently on air. The show itself has many good points that keeps me returning to it every time I see it on my guide channel. The characters depth and personality, story development, and interesting interesting twists and turns keep me …
Here Come the Newlyweds
This is an hour long reality show on ABC that has very quickly become one of my favorite shows! It is aired on Monday nights at 10PM.
The show is hosted by Pat Bullard and began with nine newly married couples that are competing for the grand prize “nest …
Mad TV television series
One of my favorite comedy series at this point is “Mad TV” which I have noticed is broadcast on the channels Comedy Central and Fox. I do not watch it on Fox though, since I’ve noticed that it seems to be broadcast there when I am in the middle …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 12
As we flee from the threat of our identities of being revealed, we must question the nature of this fear in the first place. Does it exist to torment us, or is it an foolish illusion wrought by man’s own hands? These questions may not have an answer at …
Hogan’s Heroes: Crittendon’s Commandos
I was able to watch two episodes of Hogan’s Heroes at lunch today, including one that was kind of funny; Crittendon’s Commandos.

Adam-12: Extortion
The fourth season of Adam-12 got under way on September 15, 1971 with an episode called Extortion. It’s a good start for the police drama which starred Martin Milner and Kent McCord.
What I love about it first of all is that it starts out with the banter that …
Due South: Dr. Longball
Technically, this is season two of the second evolution of Due South, or you could call it season four of Due South as a totality, or you could do what the DVD set does and just combine the last 13 episodes with these next few and call it the …
The Twilight Zone: Printer’s Devil TV Show
Burgess Meredith is back for yet another appearance on this classic, groundbreaking science fiction series. In The Twilight Zone: Printer’s Devil , he’s essentially the devil, and he’s brilliant. In my opinion, you can take all of Meredith’s appearances from The Twilight Zone and get a well …
NCIS Los Angles Season 3 Episode 8 (TV show)
Episode 8 of season 3 of NCIS Los Angeles was as entertaining and engaging as ever. The storyline was unexpected, important matters and lives were on the line, all accompanied with a healthy dose of humor and inside jokes. There were, however, a few things that I did not …

Touching Evil: Grief
Touching Evil: Grief involves yet another grizzly crime where women are killed with their hearts cut out. This show is not for the faint of heart, even when it’s at its best.

The Simpsons Season 4 Episode 6 Itchy and Scratchy Movie
Homer and Marge go to Bart and Lisa’s school for parent teacher’s meeting. While Lisa’s teacher praises Lisa, the same is not with Bart’s teacher who says that Bart needs to be disciplined before he ruins his life. Marge takes this seriously and tells Homer that it is about …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 10: The Family of Blood
This episode picks up where the last left off, with John Smith being forced to comply to an order that makes absolutely no sense to him made by beings that he has no seeming familiarity with. Kudos to Martha for turning the tables the way she did. …
Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Kansas City Chiefs
When I first heard that HBO was running a show on NFL training camp, I thought it would just be another boring and poorly portrayed image of the NFL. Was I wrong, this documentary by NFL films has to be one of the best I’ve seen. It was not …
Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Race
Close to perfection: that’s what Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Race is. This second season episode is pivotal to the Stargate SG-1 lore, and it’s extremely well done.

Setting up part of the craziness in this episode, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry …
House TV show
I never tire of this television show, season after season. In my opinion, it is the best show on television, and a welcome relief from the deluge of mindless reality television shows which assume the viewers have low intelligence and a high tolerance for monotony. Hugh Laurie’s portrayal of …
Highway Patrol: Released Convict TV Show
Highway Patrol: Released Convict is a nice little show that is relatively entertaining. It’s all about a parolee who finally decides to try and dig up a quarter of a million dollars that he’s had hidden since before his arrest. He’s been on the obedient side of …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Remember the Alimony (Episode)
Sitcom episodes that mainly revolve around husband and wife arguments usually don’t entertain me as much as episodes that feature some kind of other plot focus. In “Remember the Alimony,” an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” viewers are treated to a flashback to a time when Rob …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 10 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 10 has Section 9 going after a serial killer named Marco Amereti, with Batou taking it personally.
This was a great episode because it gave Batou more character development and it was interesting. The animation was very nice and everything was …
Wagon Train: The Duncan McIvor Story
Wagon Train: The Duncan McIvor Story isn’t a favorite of mine. In fact, it’s not one that I particularly enjoy watching. To be truthful, though I’ve seen it before, when watching the DVD again, it took me a few times to get through it. I just …
House: Teamwork
Well, once again, the show House seems to be changing the cast again. At least they managed to bring back Thirteen and, since there really wasn’t any point in her, got rid of Cameron (though I have a feeling we’ll see her again).
This wasn’t a bad episode either. You …
Mr. Monk Goes Underwater
When the episode “Mr. Monk Goes Underwater” first aired, I had to be somewhere and didn’t get a chance to watch it. Tonight, I finally got a chance and found it to be entertaining.

Cougartown Season One Episode One
There is one word to describe the pilot of the television series Cougartown and that is awkward.

The show is about forty something Jules who …
M*A*S*H: The Price
M*A*S*H: The Price has a cute first few seconds with Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) riding back into camp on his horse, Sophie, and singing a cowboy song. As a lover of the western and cowboy world, I found the entire thing to be really adorable.
A big part …
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 16- Brother’s Keeper
This episode is a bit different from the rest. There are no new points to the story. Instead the entire episode is used as a flashback on the events that had lead to the beginning of the series. It tells the stories of the dominant characters in the story …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Marionettes, Inc. TV Show
From May 1985, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Marionettes, Inc. was an interesting piece of entertainment. Author Ray Bradbury does the opening introduction, but it’s not actually introductions like Rod Serling did with The Twilight Zone or Boris Karloff did with The Veil. Instead, his opening introduction is …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Where the Wild Things Are
I’ve seen some confusing episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer before. But, “Where the Wild Things Are” is definitely one that ended up being one of the most confusing.

Jetsons TV Episode: Jane’s Driving Lesson
My daughter had on cartoons this past Saturday and was watching several re-runs of the show The Jetsons. I really wasn’t paying too much attention to what she was watching until one episode came on TV; Jane’s Driving Lesson.

CSI New York Season 8 Episode 1
Out of all the seasons and all the episodes of CSI New York, season 8 episode 1 was the least enjoyable. Actually it was really painful and boring to watch. I think that they had a good idea, but it could have been done much better.
This year it is …
