Adam 12 - Log 22
This last episode of the first season of “Adam-12″, labeled as “Log 22″, was somewhat of just a standard, weird day in my opinion.
The backstory isn’t one that I particularly liked. Gary Crosby reappears as Ed Wells and opens up the show by telling Jim Reed a joke …
Star Trek: The Time Trap TV Show
I absolutely love the concept behind the animated program, Star Trek: The Time Trap. This 1973 series did a lot of shows that built on some of the live action shows, but they also had several, like this one, which were quite original to the Star Trek universe. …

Dead Like Me: Business Unfinished
What we learn in Dead Like Me: Business Unfinished is that obnoxious Daisy is a scammer. I’ve never liked this character and her behavior here shows one of the reasons why. She’s just an empty character. In this episode, she’s eager to get her hands on …

The Andy Griffith Show: The New Doctor TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The New Doctor, from season one, is quite entertaining.
The one thing that seems funny to me is that this show has dealt with new doctors in a lot of different ways, or should I say will deal with. There’s absolutely no consistency to it, …
Charmed Episode 2: I’ve Got You Under my Skin
This is the second episode of ‘Charmed’ which really showed how the sisters are still trying to adjust to her own power.
The first scene is in Quake, the restaurant where Piper is working as a chef. This scene shows how Piper was really trying to stop herself from using …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Piano TV Show

Law & Order SVU: Unstable
Last night was the season premiere of Law & Order SVU and it was a bit better than expected; though you can only have so many cases involving rape before you start feeling like you’ve watched the show before.

Stargate SG-1: Bloodlines
Stargate SG-1: Bloodlines is the first of the Jaffa storylines, the shows that give Christopher Judge a chance to stand out as the normally stoic and silent Teal’c. These stories usually take place on Teal’c’s home world, Chulak, and often involve his wife and son. In this …
Ghost Hunter’s International: Gate to Hell
The more I watch the show Ghost Hunter’s International, the more I find myself not liking the show all that much. Last night’s episode “Gate to Hell” was another example as to why.
The case itself is interesting. They visited a castle with no strategic importance at all and was …

When Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) heads away for a few days in M*A*S*H: Tell It to the Marines, he leaves Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) in charge.

Fireball XL5: The Doomed Planet
Fireball XL5: The Doomed Planet is the second episode of this puppet, or rather supermarionation series from Gerry Anderson, and I love it for a few reasons.
First, we see how Colonel Steve Zodiac and Doctor Venus are at home when they are off duty. They drive from the …
24 Season 7
The conclusion of 24 Season 7 was aired last Tuesday and I couldn’t help but be sad about this. For the past four months, I have been religiously watching and anticipating each episode over the Internet since the Television premier is about two months late.
Unlike the first …
Sea Hunt: Strong Box TV Show

It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
I have seen the Halloween special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” more times than I can count considering it’s been on the air since before I was born. But, last night was the first time my oldest daughter got a chance to watch it. She loved it.
Let’s put …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 3: Blood
Normally, after iconic classic episodes, I feel like the following episode suffers from having a high bar to jump. I know, each episode should be viewed on its own, but when watching episodes in blocks like this, it’s a tad unavoidable. This episode managed to subvert that …
The Office: Casino Night
While it’s always fun to watch the office sometimes the individual episodes of the show can blend together. Casino Night is not one of those episodes.
Part of that is because most of the show takes place out of the office, but there are also very interesting interaction between characters …
Blacke’s Magic: Ten Tons of Trouble
From January 1986, Blacke’s Magic: Ten Tons of Trouble stars Hal Linden as magician Alexander Blacke and Harry Morgan as his father, Leonard. The show opens wonderfully with Leonard showing up in the middle of night at Alex’s home and telling him that he’s moving in. Up …

The Six Napoleons
I am reviewing The Six Napoleons, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventure of Sherlock HOlmes, which was produced in 1984 by Granada television. This episode finds Sherlock Holmes assisting Lestrade in a most bizarre mystery. Some mad man keeps destroying the last remaining six Napoleon …
The Office TV show
I started watching re-runs of the office on TV not to long ago and it is now one of my favorite shows on. The Office is a remake of a popular British show with the same name. The show has a very subtle brand of comedy that not all …
Naruto Episode 7 Subbed
Episode 7 is calmer than the previous episode which is surprising considering that the fight that is brewing will be much greater than any other action scene seen so far in the show. The tension is clear when the episode starts as Kakashi tries to get information out of …
Back to You show
Back to You was one show that I was really looking forward to seeing. With two of my favorites,Kelsy Grammer and Patricia Heaton, I was expecting one of the best shows in years. I was so disappointed. It seemed like they were trying to clone Frasier Crane and that …
Highway Patrol: Stolen Plane Copter TV Show
I’ve said it before, and I may just say it again, but it amazes me how many shows of Highway Patrol revolve around the helicopter. The actual ‘copter’ word is used in numerous titles throughout the series’ run. I suppose in the late 50’s when this show …
The Simpsons TV Episode: The Cartridge Family
Last night, I finally got to get my Simpsons fix by watching a re-run on network TV. And, I was glad to see it was an episode I have seen in the past and loved; The Cartridge Family.
The episode starts out making fun of soccer (and how Americans think …
The X-Files Field Trip Episode
This episode of the X-Files was also one of my most memorable episodes. I found it to be a little confusing at one point and I didn’t think it was a work of genius either, but I believe that it was still quite enjoyable. In fact, I think …
Trinity Blood episode 5
“Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow” was an epic addition to the Trinity Blood saga. This is really the only fluff episode I have ever seen on Trinity Blood and a very fitting fifth episode to boot. Father Abel Nightroad and Sister Esther Blanchet arrive in Rome to find Sister Esther …
Monk
Tony Shaloub plays the character of a detective who has all kinds of phobias in the television series entitled Monk. He suffered a breakdown when her wife dies from a bomb blast meant for Adrian Monk. I had a hard time with this plot a first because the show …

Fame: Metamorphosis
Fame: Metamorphosis is the premier of the musical dancing television series which was based on a hit movie. I recall at the time being a little put off by star Debbie Allen’s comments on The Tonight Show that they’d found an even better Coco Hernandez than Irene Cara …
Stargate SG-1: Space Race
Not everyone loves Stargate SG-1: Space Race as much as I do, but I just think this whole show is a hoot. I remember going into it that I thought I wouldn’t like it, that there wouldn’t be much of Jack and Daniel. It was definitely touted …
Encantadia

Gilligan’s Island - Sound of Quacking TV show
After watching this episode, I found it to be rather depressing and sad. I did not enjoy watching most of this show except for the dream sequence near the end which was kind of funny. But still the suffering the castaways have endured and the uncertainty of their fate …
Adam-12: Log 141
In the second episode of Adam-12, we see quickly that our heroes, Pete Malloy and Jim Reed, have bonded. We also get the first mention of the ‘Pete should get married’ moments. While marriage was mentioned in the first episode, this is the beginning of what would …
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties is not really my style. It opens with Sam and Vala returning from a shopping trip, the two all decked out and drawing attention as they walk down the corridors of the SGC. I guess they wanted to show these two are friends. …
Adam-12: Log 125: A Safe Job
In April 1971, the final episode of the third season of Adam-12, a half-hour crime drama, was aired. The show was entitled Log 125: A Safe Job. It’s a fairly decent show to end a year on. It’s not a big favorite, but it is an …
