Columbo: A Case of Immunity TV Show

The X-Files Bad Blood Episode
I can remember this episode quite well. This was because this was an episode about vampires and it was more humorous to me than I would have expected an X-Files episode about vampires to be. I didn’t find it top be extraordinarily scary either, or gruesome like I found …

CSI Season 12 Episode 1

This second episode of the fourth year of Ice Road Truckers had some sections that …

That Girl: They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They?

Project Runway Season Premiere

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Murderer TV Show
I’m not a big Bruce Weitz fan, but I have to admit up at the top that his appearance as Albert Brock in The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Murderer was outstanding. There was an energetic restraint to his performance, and while that may sound like a contradiction, it’s …

Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Judge Judy Sheindlin TV Show
For the past couple of years, actor William Shatner has had a very interesting half hour series called Shatner’s Raw Nerve. It’s a great concept, and it’s not a normal talk show. It really is a one on one chat between Shatner and his guest, which in …
Due South: The Man Who Knew Too Little
An intriguing little episode from the first season of Due South is called The Man Who Knew Too Little. I like the plot about a witness to a crime who at first admits he saw what happened and can identify the villains. In reality, though, while he …
Family Guy 10-4: Stewie Goes for A Drive

Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 12: Fear Her
I didn’t have high hopes for this episode. From what I’ve read, I got the impression that this was supposed to be one of the stinkers of the series. Honestly, it’s not that bad. It’s not great, to be sure, but it has a lot of …
