I like watching Police Women Of Broward County on the TLC network, because it is more a documentary-style show and not horrible reality TV. I love the fast pace and excitement level of this show, and how it profiles numerous women doing a job that some feel they …

M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War is a very good episode. The action begins when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is sent to the front lines to help out. The kink in this armor is that it was B.J. Hunnicutt’s (Mike Farrell) turn to go, but …

Cowboy Bebop Episode 11 begins with the crew of the Bebop travelling through space while waiting for there to be more news on bounties. Jet finds an old fridge in the corner and then members of the crew start getting sick for some strange reason.
This episode was …

It’s Halloween at the 4077th in M*A*S*H: Trick or Treatment. There’s plenty of silliness, especially surrounding George Wendt’s character of Private La Roche. It is Major Charles Emerson Winchester III’s displeasure to have to deal with a couple of these more ridiculous situations.
Andrew Dice Clay also appears in …

So the Christmas special episode of the series Sherlock has been dominating the internet since its outbreak. Sherlock is the modern adaptation of the book Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the 1800s and the series’ Sherlock Holmes is no other than Benedict Cumberbatch who really became more …

One of the things that made the news a lot back in 1970’s was the existence of nudist camps. This comes to play in CHiPs: Crash Diet when a van driven by a man but full of naked women are pulled over by Jon and Ponch. One …

I have seen the premiere of this show and have some mixed feelings. I know that obesity is a big issue in this country (lame pun). But I am having a hard time believing that the people behind this show aren’t trying to somehow exploit overweight …

I’m inside today with a sick child and sick wife so I’m having a marathon of sorts by watching old Psych episodes. This included the season 1 episode “Spellingg Bee.”
This was a good episode for a couple reasons. First, I like how they introduce Lassiter’s new partner by having …

Here’s the deal with Columbo: Identity Crisis. Like most episodes of the police drama, I’ve seen it numerous times. It’s not a favorite, but I love Columbo, so I watch it when it pops up on TV. One of the reasons it’s not high up on …

Your mother is a very good representation of who you are. That’s the premise behind the MTV Show “Date My Mom”. On the show a boy will go out with three different girls mothers, then pick one of their daughters to date. On the date he can talk to …

Night Gallery was Rod Serling’s follow up to The Twilight Zone. While not as good, it sometimes has some very interesting tales. At other times, the stories are just so so.
The first story, The Diary, is in the middle of the road. It stars one of …

My daughter ended up watching another episode of the 1980s show Faerie Tale Theater this past weekend; Goldilocks and the Three Bears. And, much like other episodes of the show, this one proved to be pretty entertaining for pretty much everyone in our family.
They kept the same basic plot …

Crime shows and forensic shows really appeal to me because they showcase the realistic aspect of human nature. But the shows that really amp up the action are the “Most Shocking” programs that feature different aspects of shocking things that happen amongst ordinary citizens. Sometimes …

Season ten is the last for Smallville and this second episode of the year, Shield, further progresses the story towards Clark Kent becoming Superman. In fact, in this outing we get the first real use of the Superman name, and it actually comes from a surprising source.
Now you’ll …

The second season of The Fugitive began with a show entitled Man in a Chariot. It’s a powerful show that guest starred Ed Begley as a law professor with a huge chip on his shoulder, stemming from an accident that has left him in a wheelchair. Begley …

Desperate Housewives is a show that started with tremendous promise. Marc Cherry’s brainchild had everything that an audience could possibly want, love, sex, hilarious antics, and a good old fashioned murder mystery. Add a collection of a talented veteran actresses to boot and you have yourself a recipe for …

The last few House episodes have been kind of sucky considering Wilson has been AWOL from the show following his falling out with House. So, it was great to see an episode “Birthmarks” that finally brings him back.
In a way, this was a bit of a depressing episode because …

The second season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea rolled on with this 21st episode entitled Dead Men’s Doubloons. Albert Salmi was the main guest star, portraying Brent, the captain of a pirate ship in one era and a modern day captain in search of the …

I usually enjoy shows about mythical creatures. But, History Channel’s show, Monster Quest is one I can’t even sit through ten minutes of.
Overall, the show does a good job describing creatures like Big Foot and the Loc Ness Monster. However, rather than focus on the historical stories and leave …

I didn’t get to watch the entire Bones season premiere last night because I was busy with a few other things at the time (thanks to my wife turning a simple cleaning project into a complicated redecoration of our living room). What I did see of it, however, did …

On Thursday August 31, MTV aired live their annual Music Video awards.
The award show returned to whee they first began in New York. With big celebrities, great music stars, and Jack Black as the host, the show would be the best of its kind, right? Well I didnt think …

Every now and then, the powers that be at this incredibly wonderful wartime comedy give us a show dealing with how down and out the personnel can get. M*A*S*H: Morale Victory is one of these episodes. The troops at the 4077th are tired of the war going …

Outlaw: In Re: Tyler Banks was another good episode for this sadly now-canceled TV series that stars Jimmy Smits as ex Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza. Garza grew tired of looking at the big picture at the expense of the individual, so he resigned from the Court and …

Of all the shows that air, weather international or local, the concept behind M.A.N is one that I could have never thought about myself and something so fresh that it became an instant hit with me, before the very first episode even aired, as I had caught glimpses of …

What do you do when you have a perfectly good pilot that has never been seen by a TV series’ audience? You incorporate it into the show the viewers are watching. That’s what Gene Roddenberry did back in 1966. His first pilot for Star Trek, the …

Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada once again head up the action in CHiPs: Return of the Turks, a season two episode that includes guest appearances from Loyita Chapel, though her role is pretty minor, and Kaz Garas. Garas has some layers to his role. He’s Sid, an …

This feature, Life Beyond Trek: Leonard Nimoy, is really fascinating. As the title indicates, it delves into Nimoy’s life beyond the famous Star Trek series. In his case, it doesn’t even involve acting. In this wonderful piece, the man shares with viewers his love of photography.
I’ve …

There are days I absolutely cannot stand watching the series Family Guy. And, there are others that aren’t too bad. The episode last night “Road to Germany” was one that I didn’t mind.
This one had an interesting take; Brian and Stewie time travel back to World War II Germany …

Yes, there is yet another reality show featuring design and fashion. Instead of watching people model the clothes and basing the prize on that, we get to see literal amateurs attempting to launch their own clothing lines. They are paired with an expert who knows how to …

Whenever I have the spare time I love to watch the television. Normally I will be free in the afternoon and I watch some cookery shows. There is a cookery show, which I never miss to watch and that is the Khana Khazana. This cookery show …

I think Desperate Housewives: The One Where Gabrielle and Carlos Kill Accidentally Gabrielle’s husband on the boat is on one of the episodes of Season 4. But I know it’s the earlier episodes, perhaps 7 or 8.
Gabrielle’s husband, the politician is very suspicious of Gabrielle and this …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Brother’s Keeper, the 33rd show from season 4 of this western program, was written by Jay Simms. I don’t often mention the writers, but I liked the way he constructed this episode. It was dramatic and somewhat whimsical at the same time. …

From 1970, The Young Rebels: Suicide Squad continues the events of the Revolutionary War. It was one of my favorite shows during that TV season, and I was so glad to be able to see so many of these shows again recently.
This episode is fun because Jeremy and …

The Twilight Zone: Come Wander with Me feels like it’s this science fiction series answer to the folk singing of Peter, Paul, and Mary. It guest stars Gary Crosby as a folk singer who ends up in an obscure place in the backwoods. He hears the hum …

I watch the Tyra Banks show on a daily basis. I absolutely love watching talk shows and have been watching talk shows since I was little. I have always had interest in them because I was so intrigued by it and it has been always entertaining to me. I …

There are two main plots in M*A*S*H: Stars and Stripes from the eighth season of the comedy program. The first surrounds a patient who was the recipient of a unique operating technique while being treated at the 4077th. The two surgeons involved were B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) …

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 …

For some odd reason, it’s really intriguing to watch truckers risking their lives as they haul gear over an ice road. That’s what we’ve seen for three plus seasons now on Ice Road Truckers.
This second episode of the fourth year of Ice Road Truckers had some sections that …

Diagnosis Murder: Lily centers around an old friend of Jack’s, a woman named Sandy Hoyle, played by Romy Windsor. She’s been battered, but that’s not the only surprise. It turns out she’s a call girl. She also plans to retire, based on a blackmail tape she’s …

Downunder Horsemanship by Clinton Anderson is a great TV show. Clinton Anderson is an internationally recognized horse trainer and competitor. He is a native Australian and I just love his accent. Clinton’s program, Downunder Horsemanship, most often focuses on working with problem horses and training young horses. What I …

Beast Wars - Other Visits, Part 1 continues the alien story arc that was first started early in the first season. Now, it seems, the aliens are once again back which sort of puzzles me because in the first season finale, the aliens stated that they were going to …

It is Sunday today, and as expected there are few tv shows that I am looking forward to watch. More often, I feel there is even nothing worth watching at all. My mom was browsing through the channels and well, she chanced upon the show in Channel 7, Kap’s …

What makes Have Gun - Will Travel: The Ballad of Oscar Wilde from the second season of this western series starring Richard Boone so fun is a combination of the guest cast and the repertoire of Paladin and novelist Oscar Wilde.
Englishman Wilde is making his first visit to California …

The great Kirk Douglas was the honoree who was roasted on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. I like to see performers of his caliber in the hot seat. Usually someone like Douglas means more appropriate people on the dais, though not always.
One of my …

Friends Episode: Phoebe Hates PBS is a very good episode and I will always remember this awesome plot, together with the
other plots in other episodes. Joey and Phoebe have this ‘tiff’ over PBS and Phoebe is commenting on how much she hates PBS, because as a kid, she …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Silver Queen is a wonderful story of kindness, the best kind, that given freely with nothing expected in return. An old friend of Paladin’s, a prospector named Leadhead Kane (Earle Hodgins) is infatuated with a beautiful French actress named Annette Vargas (Lita …

Last night one of our local channels aired a re-run of a Family Guy episode that is one of my daughter’s favorites (yes, I know I shouldn’t be letting her watch it but, if she doesn’t learn about this stuff from Family Guy, where will she learn about it?); …

Highway Patrol: Portrait of Death is the 7th episode of the fourth year, airing back in November 1958. Police dramas were different then. This show which has been considered a leader from early television is rather tame and has some real staging and directing problems. However, …
