“Lucy Meets Orson Welles” is an episode of “I Love Lucy”. In this episode, Orson Welles makes a special appearance, and with his appearance, comes one of the series’ few “serious” scenes where the lines aren’t being delivered with the intention of getting laughs. This scene plays out when …

At long last we are getting into the real juice of this series with edge-of-your-seat action and exciting thrills that make you beg for more as soon as you can get it. Sasuke is still paralyzed by fear, which is a nice change to see, but this episode won’t …

It’s hard to believe that a gaggle of beautiful women are so desperate to attract the attentions of an aging rock-and-roller that they would put themselves through all types of humiliation. Apparently, though, it is true, as evidenced by VH-1’s reality show “Rock of Love.” In each episode, …

This is a fairly entertaining episode of Adam-12 that begins with the boys chatting as they drive along one of Los Angele’s freeways. The topic is dinner at the Reeds, where Pete had brought along his date, Donna. Donna is obsessed about how wonderful Jim and his wife …

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 …

This episode of Ghost Hunters wasn’t too bad because the TAPS team at least seems to make a legitimate effort to debunk the cases.
The first one was in a private home where a little girl was being haunted by the spirit of another child. I don’t really buy …

John Doe: John D.O.A. essentially picks up not long after The Mourner concludes. It has a very calm, unsuspecting opening with Jamie Avery (Jayne Brook) going to her apartment and being kidnapped by the serial killer.
One of the interesting facets of John Doe: John D.O.A. is the faux …

Starhunter is one of my favorite television shows ever. Why I have no idea, there is no real surface reason to like it. In terms of writing, acting, special effects, etc., etc., it is all sub-par. But there is some special charm about the Starhunter universe …

While Corey Haim is busy promoting the 20th anniversary of the film that launched them to stardom, “The Lost Boys”, Feldman would rather concentrate on his wife’s photo shoot with Stuff Magazine. It’s a very messed up and embarrassing situation where Haim shows up alone at a radio interview …

That Girl: Gone A-Courtin’ once again has Seymour as Ann Marie’s agent. This is probably my number one pet peeve about That Girl, the rotating agent that flip flops from being the mostly unseen Seymour and then a guest starring agent that serves some comedic purpose in the …

The third season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea begins with this episode entitled Monster from the Inferno. The major guest star is Arthur Hill, who ends up in contact with our first sea monster of the year. This one is pretty intelligent and isn’t …

As far as watching television goes, people want to have the best of quality and the most channels possible, while still maintaining the highest possible reliability and quality.
There are obviously various options to choose from when it comes to picking the best television provider. I prefer directv after …

M*A*S*H: The Nurses is a great episode, and it’s one I’ve always remembered from it’s original air date back in 1976. It’s extra hot in Korea, and tempers are short, especially between Major Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) and her nurses. Things escalate when Margaret finds her nurses …

A new girl at school Alison begins to beat Lisa in every field. Whether it is education, extra-curricular activities, and so on. This makes Lisa very jealous of Alison. She does not get the post in the band, but Alison does. This makes her feel threatened. She decides to …

The TV show prison break was an awesome show and it is a shame that it is not on the air anymore with new episodes. The show was simple to understand and the title explains what the whole show was based on and I couldn’t believe that they …

Chip N Dale’s Rescue Rangers is a great show about Chip and Dale the chipmunks who solve crimes and mysteries. The show is just great and one of my best childhood memories. If you like cute little chipmunks, then you are going to love this show. The music in the …

“Challenge of the Samurai” is the fourth episode of the “Pokemon” television show. This episode, like the previous episodes, continues to work on developing Ash’s character. In the previous episodes, the viewers have seen that Ash is very much willing to throw himself in harms way in order to …

Sea Hunt: The Invader aired in July 1960 as the 30th outing of the underwater adventure series’ third season on the air. The show had a decent amount of under the water activity but it wasn’t as fun as others have been for a couple of reasons.
First of …

Yeah, once again a Law & Order show decides to take some story from the newspapers and turn it into a show. The Law & Order SVU episode “Babes” takes the stories of a possible teenaged pregnancy pact and turns it into a story of rape and murder.
The idea …

“New York” aka Tiffany Pollard from VH1’s “Flavor of Love” and “I Love New York” is a vixen that everyone loves to hate. She first appeared on VH1’s Flavor of Love in a quest to find true love with rapper Flavor Flav. Unfortunately, and after a controversial …

This episode had a lot of the same problems that the first episode had.
I think the biggest problem though was that it was rehashing territory already covered. I mentioned that the last episode did similar things, but this episode does practically the exact same thing with an alcoholic …

The shows in the second season of Columbo have the teaser with clips from the show about to be seen. That wasn’t done with the first season.
The Greenhouse Jungle is another show where even some cops don’t realize that Columbo is a lieutenant. They see the old …

I’m someone who has always been fascinated with supernatural movies and series, so as soon as I heard about the Showtime original series Penny Dreadful, I could tell that it would be something I might be interested in watching. The clips that I’d seen of it only made me even …

If you ever wondered how it would be if you could relive your last 7 days again, this show is just the right one for you. Frank Parker, the main character, does it all the time, he travels back in time to save the world.
This episode is about …

Season three of Highway Patrol continues with this episode called Efficiency Secretary, which is all about a dedicated secretary who suddenly switches to the wrong side of the law. There really isn’t a lot of time devoted to why she’d make this change, and that’s something I wish …

From July 1961, the fourth season of Sea Hunt, came this 27th show of the year called Dark Evil. I like the name here because it really did cover the villain of the show, which was actually a fish which had some deadly chemicals inside of it. …

Dexter has a really cool vibe about it. It’s sort of dark but my spirits are always up when I see it. Dexter is the story of a foster kid who has a desire to kill. he starts off killing small animals and his dad a …

If I wanted to cheer for a bully, I’d visit a street corner on skid row and watch bad boys beat up on helpless derelicts, at least I could feel that they were “conflicted” jerks.
I don’t know if I’m more pissed at the dysfunctional guests or Steve Wilkos …

Yeah, I watch alotta TV, but it for good purposes. I’ve been watching a lot of series lately. One that I liked is called Psych. Its on the USA network. Its a fake pychic, real detective show. The show stars James Roday who does a great job playing his …

Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 5 is the big wrap up to this P.D. James murder mystery. We get lots of answers and more suspense. This is a much better conclusion than what I’ve seen in some of the other television adaptations of James’ novels.
I must …

Cliff Robertson does a great job in The Twilight Zone: A Hundred Yards over the Rim, a show from season two of this great series. Robertson is a man crossing the prairie with his family. When his son gets a sickness, he leaves the wagon to go …

This episode of The Carol Burnett Show from its tenth season guest starred the versatile Roddy McDowall. There were also regulars Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Tim Conway. The monologue included Burnett’s view of vitamins and the fact that Eunice is currently her favorite character.
I wasn’t that …

My interest in the Stargate Program is pretty much confined to the first eight years of Stargate SG-1. I did not like Stargate Atlantis and its affect on SG-1, and I suppose for much of the same reasons, I haven’t been interested in Stargate Universe, either. However, …

From season three, M*A*S*H: Love and Marriage isn’t one of my favorite episodes. While it has some good acting in it and some nice guest stars, the show just doesn’t really capture my interest as much as most of the other shows do.
One plot deals with Private Danny …

When I heard that the CW was debuting a vampire-themed show, my first thought was something along the lines of “Here we go again!” I will be the first person to admit my cynicism about the latest vampire craze, and I was very quick to apply this cynicism to …

Well, I didn’t know kids could be suspended from school in the 1970s just for smoking so I learned something today from That 70s Show at lunch. The episode, Eric Gets Suspended, is definitely an interesting one.
Basically, Eric isn’t the one who is smoking, Donna is apparently rebelling for …

Somebody tells Patrick to get out of town, as a joke, and he takes it seriously. He confronts Spongebob about his situation because he does not know what he is going to do, because he has no place to go and stay. Spongebob comes up with this crazy idea …

I can’t wait until the premiere of Dancing With The Stars March 22, 2010, so I can see Pamela Anderson dance. I’m pretty sure a lot of people who usually wouldn’t watch the show will tune in this season just to see how skimpy Pamela’s costumes will be. …

From April 1967, Star Trek: Operation - Annihilate! is the final show of the first season of this science fiction classic from the mind of Gene Roddenberry. It finally gives us a relative of one of the regulars, even though he dies before we meet him. What …

CHiPs: The Matchmakers from January 1979 is a fairly entertaining episode from this hour-long police drama which starred Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, and Robert Pine. As much as this show is cute and endearing, I also have some problems with how things played out in terms of reactions …

Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 18 - The Climax continues the soap opera elements that made the show what it was. Part of the most difficult elements to watch is the obsession that David Marquette (Michael Brandon) has for Maggie Farrell (Maud Adams). It’s positively spooky, even now …

Leslie Nielsen guest stars in M*A*S*H: The Ringbanger as Colonel Buzz Brighton. He’s been wounded, though his injuries aren’t that severe. Hot Lips Houlihan (Loretta Swit) recognizes him immediately from an article in Stars and Stripes and is thoroughly impressed. As for Hawkeye (Alan Alda) and …

I used to love watching the Simpsons but no longer watch too many of the newer episodes. Last night’s latest edition, Tree House of Horror XVII reminded me of why.
In it’s annual Halloween special, the Simpsons spoofed War of the Worlds, Golem and the Blob. I saw a lot …

In 2009, Brad Wright decided that the original movie pilot for Stargate SG-1, called Children of the Gods, wasn’t good enough. There were a lot of things he didn’t like about it, so MGM gave him the green light to re-edit the film, giving us this final cut …

Werth wants to go undercover in order to help catch his friend’s …

After the downer ending from the previous episode, we get a more light-hearted romp that really thrives on its comedy. The opening leads you to believe that we’re going to have a “companion lite” episode as the Doctor is seemingly booted off of the TARDIS and is unable to …
