Ghost Hunters Season 3, Part 2 DVD
Ghost Hunters is one of my favorite shows on television, and I gladly grab the different sets when they are released. That said, there are a few major problems with this set.
1-The transfer onto DVD isn’t the best. It actually looks worse here than it does on television, …
Law and Order: SVU
OK, two questions. First of all, I thought Law & Order SVU was supposed to be about sex crimes and, secondly, is this the month we feature each of Stabler’s kids?
The episode “Lunacy” was actually one of the worst episodes of this series I’ve seen. OK, you have a …
The Biggest Loser
Overall, I like this show. I really love seeing the transformations! Most of these people are really obese when they come on the show. Some of them even over 400 pounds. Then, when the season is over, they have lost over 100 pounds usually, if not …

Blacke’s Magic: Address Unknown
It’s the guest stars who make Blacke’s Magic: Address Unknown work for me. They are an interesting collection of talent. Sam Groom, who has from time to time been confused with the more successful Sam Elliott, has a nice role here as Dale Richmond, friend of Alexander …

“Yankee White” was the first real premiere of the show NCIS. While NCIS was introduced in two spin off episodes of “Jag” entitled “Ice Queen” and “Meltdown,” this was the first time viewers got to see the actors and the show flying solo.
When this episode began, there were …

Outsourced: The Measure of a Manmeet TV Show
It was a fluke that I watched this second episode of Outsourced called The Measure of a Manmeet. I am pretty sure that fluke won’t happen again because this show is just third class and even offensive. It’s ridiculously stereotypical and instead of focusing on a concept …
The Danny Thomas Show: Jack Benny Takes Danny’s Job TV Show
Jack Benny did a couple of appearances on The Danny Thomas Show (later known as Make Room for Daddy). This one, Jack Benny Takes Danny’s Job, was from the sixth season in 1958.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Given the success of the Terminator movies, it was only a matter of time before someone would attempt to make a television series based on the movies. However, I’m not sure The Sarah Connor Chronicles are worth all the hype.
First, I think I should have re-watched the first two …
The Virginian: Hideout TV Show
The Virginian: Hideout puts Roberta Shore and her Betsy Garth character in the center of the action by having Betsy happen upon a father and his adult son living in a canyon. There’s more to their presence than is originally thought.
I actually enjoy this episode quite a bit. …
CSI Season 5 Episode 5 Swap Meet
Although it wasn’t the most brilliant investigation case, it was the most fun I have watched on the show so far. It was so good that I wasn’t able to figure out who had done it or why, not even to suspect anyone for the murders. But not only …
Daytime TV: One Life to Live
One Life to Live is a long time soap opera on daytime television. I started watching it when I was a stay at home mother many years ago. When I went back to work, I had to stop watching but years later tuned in after starting to work from …
M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth
I have to admit I really get a kick out of M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth from season seven. It’s a show that focuses on humor via some practical jokes. Unlike some other episodes which have had prankster storylines that were over-the-job and almost boring, this …
M*A*S*H: Pressure Points
In M*A*S*H: Pressure Points, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) gets overly snappy and testy towards the personnel, especially Hawkey Pierce (Alan Alda) after returning from a brief trip away. It all stems because Hawkeye has to operate on one of Potter’s patients. The colonel becomes more intolerant …
Stargate SG-1: The Serpent’s Venom
Stargate SG-1: The Serpent’s Venom has one of the best Jack and Daniel moments ever. It’s a silly little bit, but it’s priceless.

Star Trek: Spectre of the Gun TV Show
From 1968, Star Trek: Spectre of the Gun is a show I really do love. It’s a take on the events of the O.K. Corral with Wyatt Earp. Of course, it’s based more on the myth of what happened than the reality, but it’s still legend and …
Thriller: The Prisoner in the Mirror TV Show
From May 1961, Thriller: The Prisoner in the Mirror was one of the first episodes I’d seen of this science fiction anthology. I love the opening with Boris Karloff. From watching this show and others, Karloff does a nice opening and sometimes closing, but what makes it …

That 70s Show: Love of My Life

MASH Series- DVD Boxed Set
MASH was one of my all time favorite series and when it ended, I watched, with millions of other Americans as the Finale played. No one was really sure if we would ever see Hawkeye and the rest of the crew as they muddle through the day to day …
The Forgotten - pilot
By a fluke, I decided to watch a new drama called The Forgotten. The show stars Christian Slater, who isn’t a performer I’m particularly fond of. There’s no specific reason for that, other than he’s never appealed to me. In this show, he plays Alex Donovan, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Winchester Quarantine
Richard Boone is in practically every scene of this western series. He’s the star, and that comes through loud and clear. He was a very talented actor and taught acting for years, too. Have Gun - Will Travel: Winchester Quarantine lets him show off a …
House: House Training
If House were a medical drama I wouldn’t be interested in watching it, and if it were a typical soap opera type show I wouldn’t care either. I have never been interested in formulaic television. House has a formula in some shows, but the formula isn’t the show it …
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 …
Mrs. Columbo: Murder Is a Parlor Game TV Show
Murder Is a Parlor Game is the second episode of Mrs. Columbo, a well intended but misguided attempt to capitalize on the Columbo crime drama. While Peter Falk was nowhere to be found, his car is in the opening credits and his basset hound is present in an …
John Edward Cross Country
I do believe in the paranormal. I believe in ghosts, spirits, and poltergeists. I also believe that there are people in the world who can communicate with spirits or beings from the other side. Apparently, John Edward is one of those people. I’ve actually …

Another 7-Parter in the 8th Season of Doctor Who and another wonderfully scripted episode.

Despite the great story, this did terrible in the ratings as the …

Family Guy: Business Guy
Even though we rarely watch new episodes of Family Guy (we usually want to screen them before our daughter sees them), my wife wanted to watch last night’s episode because Hugh Laurie guest starred in a spoof of his well-known Gregory House character; a person who doesn’t play by …
Piers Morgan Life Stories: Cheryl Cole
Piers Morgans Life Stories. I had heard a lot about his chat with Cheryl Cole and as she had been through a fair bit in the last 12 months I was keen to watch as most people he interviews seem to cry, so they tend to be quite heartfelt.
Whatever …
Cold Case Files on CBS
Having always been a fan of most true crime dramas on the former Court TV, which of course is now known as Tru TV, I immediately liked the show “Cold Case Files” when it aired on CBS.
The show revolves around Detective Lilly Rush, played by Kathryn Morris, her boss, …
TV Episode for MacGyver: Collision Course
