Max Headroom: Deities TV show
Airing in September 1987, Max Headroom: Deities brings on the religious angle for those living in the Age of Video, which is when this series takes place. The set up is that the View Age church is getting too popular and will surpass catholics and 700 Club in …
The Virginian: Sue Ann TV Show
From The Virginian’s fifth season came a nice episode called Sue Ann. It’s notable for a couple of reasons, one of which is that it starred the terrific Patty Duke and second is that it was the return of Clu Gulager as Deputy Sheriff Emmett Ryker.
This is the …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.22: Hostage Crisis
The twenty-second and final episode of the first season, “Hostage Crisis”, is certainly a doozy of an episode and a season finale all at once. The main stars here are Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, and a brand new bounty hunter villain named Cad Bane (oh and a special cameo …
Gilligan’s Island - Meet the Meteor TV Show
What a change, the actors actually face a survival situation not from man but from space, something that we face everyday. And in m opinion the producer did an excellent job making this episode well thought out. There is one scene that is completely unrealistic, again the Professor uses …
Venture Bros: The Better Man
This episode focuses on the triad. Orpheus discovers that the outrider, the same man who stole his wife, is able to travel between worlds and resolves to attempt to do the same.

The Twilight Zone: The Long Morrow TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Long Morrow is one of the decent season five episodes. In fact, I find it hard to watch, not because of the quality but because I feel so darn bad for the two main characters. It’s a real heartbreaker, one of those fate …
Songe Bob Square Pants
Sponge Bob Square Pants is my three year old favoite cartoon, she is watching it as I write this. I have mixed feeling about this. Although there is nothing real alarming in this cartoon, the characters are not ones I would want my daughter to copy. The one that …
Season 2 Real Chance of Love
I am ashamed. But I will admit that I do watch VH1’s “Real Chance of Love” Season 2. This is just one of those programs that you say is really stupid. But you can’t help but to watch anyway. At any rate, these two …
Cold Case: The Road
I don’t watch the show Cold Case all that often but got a chance to catch an episode of it yesterday afternoon; “The Road.” It turned out to be pretty decent.
Basically, a young woman is lured away from her engagement party and is kidnapped before anyone realizes she is …
Sea Hunt: River Treasure TV Show
Oh goodness, we are back in some South American unnamed country again. I really don’t like these episodes of Sea Hunt that take diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) to these locales. I want underwater adventures, and I refuse to believe that they couldn’t come up with more …
Home Improvement TV Episode: Future Shock
I couldn’t find much on TV at lunch today and ended up watching a re-run of Home Improvement called “Future Shock.” I normally like this television series (which I have only seen in re-runs because it was on at a bad time when it was still on the air). …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Nineteen —“ Machismo
This episode was set in Mexico. It wasn’t one of my favorites, but I will take two bad episodes out of twenty two. The unsub was killing elderly women. Who kills grandmas? That’s just plain wrong! But I guess that was the point. While it was fun to …
Dexter Season 6 Episode 4
Dexter has been my absolutely my most favorite show for many years. I love every minute of it. Season 6,, however, is not as entertaining as the previous one, though it is more intense and charged with meaning. Episode 4 of season 6 of Dexter was really, really …
Tyra Banks show
This isn’t my favorite talk show. Ellen is my favorite talk show. Although I do like to watch Tyra from time to time. I really like some of the shows she does. I think she picks unique topics to do and has an enjoyable talk show to watch. I …
The Office: Dunder Mifflin Infinity
In the second episode of the fourth season Ryan returns for the first time since he has been promoted to corporate and it is every bit as awkward as you might expect, but not quite as funny. Perhaps the humor of simple awareness has begun to grow stale on …

America’s Got Talent: The Finals TV Show
America’s Got Talent: The Finals for 2010 was a pretty decent show, presented in an hour format. With four finalists, it easily could have been a rockin’ half hour event. I’m admittedly getting tired of all of the fluff that these shows do. I’m not fond …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 50 (Anime)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 50 begins with soldiers being ordered to shoot everyone except Colonel Mustang. Roy’s old squadron from Ishval arrives to help him while Olivier makes her decision in which side she’s going to take.

Due South: Juliet Is Bleeding
This second season episode of Due South focuses more on Detective Ray Vecchio (David Marciano), with Canadian Mountie Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) somewhat secondary. It revolves around more old friends of Ray’s that are on the wrong side of the right and wrong tracks.
One part of the storyline …
Man vs. Food TV Show
One of my favorite programs to watch is Man vs. Food, I watch it every chance I get because I love cooking and eating different types of food. Adam Richman is the host of the show, and he writes his own travel blog on the Food Network. Adam travels …
CHiPs: Neighborhood Watch
CHiPs: Neighborhood Watch has a variety of interesting little stories that comprise the episode. One that I enjoy a lot involve the mischievous adventures of four neighborhood children, who keep ending up in trouble. They are quite believable in their antics. Robbie Rist, K.C. Martel, Lauri …
After the Catch with Ben Bailey
I look forward to the “After the Catch” rewind of the season for Discovery’s “Deadliest Catch”. However, this year, I was greeted with a not unpleasant, yet none too pleasing surprise. Mike Rowe was not the host. Like many others, I have become comforted by Mike’s voice. My little …
Checkmate: Death Runs Wild TV Show

The Two Coreys: Episode 2.3 - Career Moves
Corey Haim is goal-setting and trying to restart his acting career again. Good stuff and all, that’s fine. What’s crazy is how both Coreys are trying to get assistants “at the same time” to make their lives easier. Now isn’t that flipping coincidence? Now I’m starting to wonder how …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - One Krab’s Trash
Mr. Krabs starts to dig threw other people’s trash to hold a sale and make some money. I think that is so funny because it just goes to show how cheap he really is. He convinces Spongebob to buy a really ugly hat he found in the …
The Universe: Season 1 Ep. 2: Secrets of the Sun: TV show
The Universe is a great series that examines features of the universe in documentary style. The show Secrets of the Sun (Season One Episode Two) was, like all the Universe episodes I’ve seen, very interesting. In college, I found Astronomy to be tedious, but if I had had episodes …
Star Trek: The Omega Glory TV Show
I have always liked Star Trek: The Omega Glory, primarily for that big speech Kirk makes towards the end. I love the Kirk orations. They’re so patriotic.
Once again, the catalyst is a missing spaceship. In this case, it’s the Exeter. Actually, the ship and the …
Gilligan’s Island - Court Martial TV Show
This episode kind of burns me up. The Navy, where the Skipper chooses to involve himself in for most of his life, blames the Skipper for the Minnow accident. So in this episode the Skipper is mainly the depressed one instead of Gilligan. He gets so depressed he wants to …
M*A*S*H: Peace on Us
It’s a piece of mayhem in M*A*S*H: Peace on Us. Once again, the rigors of the Korean War become unbearable for the doctors and nurses. The whole camp is on edge with everyone being overly testy. Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) is fit to be tied over …
Highway Patrol: Narcotics Racket TV Show
Narcotics Racket is the 17th episode of Highway Patrol’s fourth and final season on the air. The show stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as Sergeant Ken Williams. In my book, Boyett is the reason to watch this half hour program.
Terry Blake guest …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Christmas Story
From the first season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Christmas Story is a show I must watch every year at least three or four times. I love it that much, and it just isn’t Christmas without seeing this wonderful episode of this down home comedy show.
Andy Griffith and …
TNT’s “Rizzoli & Isles” pilot episode
Since summer is a slow time, television-wise, I tend to watch a lot of the new pilots. Sometimes this results in discovering gems, such as when I started watching “Big Love” or “Mad Men”, and sometimes it’s a waste of my time. Having seen TNT’s “Rizzoli & Isles” pilot …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Comanche
Have Gun - Will Travel: Comanche is a very odd show in some ways. It’s a love story, an adventure tale, and a tribute, all in one half-hour episode. Yet, the connection is somewhat questionable. Actually, I’m not sure whether I like the story or not.
Comanche …
America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theater TV Show
For the 2010 Independence Day holiday, a special called America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theater was presented. I liked this hour long show, but I wish it had featured some holiday music in it. Instead, we had a lot of pop music and some other songs, …
Emergency!: Brushfire
One of my all time favorite episodes of Emergency! is Brushfire from season one. It’s John Gage’s first brush fire, and it brings with it some neat entertainment.
My favorite sub-plot is the one concerning a young boy who breaks his arm in the fire, but he’s …
Gilligan’s Island - The Second Ginger Grant TV Show
I have to admit this episode gets me confused every time I watch it. My head spins when Maryann becomes Ginger and Gilligan takes on Maryann’s personality. Mind things like this are difficult for me to swallow. I did enjoy watching Ginger perform in the opening scene. She shows …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Escape from Death Island
Apparently, when you do a show like this, you have to have a Devil’s Island type of prison. For Bring ‘Em Back Alive, it was Kampoon. For Tales of the Gold Monkey, we get to see their version in Escape from Death Island. It begins with
Jake …
Saturday Night Live: The Best of Jimmy Fallon TV SHOW

Smallville: Absolute Justice - Part 2
Smallville: Absolute Justice - Part 2 continues the introduction of the Justice Society of America into the Smallville lore. This second part was directed by star Tom Welling, who frankly didn’t act all that much during this movie-like presentation. In fact, Allison Mack and Justin Hartley (as …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Deep Cover for Batman
There’s just so much in this episode to love. For the first time that I can recall, we actually get to see ALL the heroes working together. Ok, it’s their villainous counterparts from a parallel dimension, but we still get to see a full team as opposed …
M*A*S*H: Bottle Fatigue
I was really happy to see M*A*S*H: Bottle Fatigue come along towards the end of the eighth season of this astounding comedy series. There is an earlier episode where they’d had a chance to really deal with alcoholism, but didn’t. It left me with a bad taste. …

A Man Called Hawk: Intensive Care
A Man Called Hawk: Intensive Care is a change of pace in that it’s your classic stand off in a public place, complete with hostages. It all begins with an armored car robbery that really wasn’t handled very well. In the first place, that robbery was horribly …
