No Exit was labeled the season finale of the Jada Pinkett Smith drama show, Hawthorne. There have been just 10 episodes in this very short season, but for the most part, they’ve been decent ones. This one in particular was extremely intense and compelling. It was …

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 …

That is a good example for a well written episode and many people would agree with it. In this episode the BAU team travels to New York to help solve a case of a serial killer who does not go after the same type of victim. It is unusual for …

Each time I watch House this season he seems to keep digging himself into a deeper hole and I’m really starting to wonder just how he’s going to get out of it.
During the last episode, Merry Little Christmas, House’s friend Wilson confesses in order to cut House a deal, …

The Virginian: The Mountain of the Sun combines incredible courage and a love story. It combines for an average tale for this western TV series. I’m really not that crazy about this episode. This is a 90-minute show and this story is an hour one, so …

The third season of Stargate SG-1 gets back on track with a really terrific episode called Deadman Switch. It guest stars Sam Jones (of Flash Gordon fame) as Aris Boch, an alien bounty hunter whose actions and motives keep the team guessing about what is really going on.
The …

The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk made me wonder if maybe I were really watching Project Runway. Actually, parts of it had some very entertaining moments. This latest hour of Donald Trump’s very long job interview began with last week’s winning project manager, Clint, having a meeting with …

Watching this ninth episode of Emerald Point N.A.S. brings about a couple of emotions and observations.
First, every episode, including this one, I just amaze at Sela Ward and that sultry pout and evil glare she has. It’s really making me appreciate her more as an actress. I’ve …

Unfortunately, The Twilight Zone: Five Characters in Search of an Exit is not a show I’m that crazy about. In fact, I most always change the channel once I see it. It just doesn’t impress me, though I admit the reveal is interesting. Actually, the ending …

An explosion in the TARDIS causes the crew to make an impromptu stop. The Doctor fears that since they were thrown out of the timestream, that they will be stuck in a void, but Mickey opens the door and finds that they are in London. Of course, …

The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited is a 2004 television special. As a fan of the 1960s classic, I remain somewhat undecided about how I feel about this reunion special despite having watched it three or four times. In some respects, this reunion special fails to feel like 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 …

Stargate: Infinity: The Face of Evil opens with more action between Major Gus Bonner’s team and their number one enemy. It’s the same race they’ve fought from the very first episode. Frankly, I’m not fond of this evil race or the shows in which they are featured.
The …

This season of The Office has several hour-long episodes. I think they may be a mistake. I enjoy The Office but it is best in short chunks. At first, I just thought these longer episodes were just weaker writing, but the writing has been good, I just find myself …

Dexter is one of my most favorite series of all time. I have been watching Dexter since it all started and have been quite fascinated with the storylines and the suspense. Dexter is on its 6th season now, and what I like about it is that it only has …

Airing in February 1960, Sea Hunt: Cobalt Bomb, a third season story, had Mike Nelson, our ace diving expert, once again working in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. I suppose the reason for this was to give Nelson a chance to work in other areas, or come up with …

I love Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding very much. Every wedding has their own religion and tradition, and I’m not caring about that in this episode. In fact, I am so in awe of Phoebe’s dress, she looks so gorgeous and the ideology that she just wants a nice …

One of the oddest television reality shows I have ever seen is a series called Cha$e. It is supposed to be like a game boy game for real life Trey Farley is the host of the game show. The players have to survive for a total of sixty minutes …

I have to say I was totally surprised by Wagon Train: A Man Called Horse and not in a good way. The main part of my shock is the main guest star, Ralph Meeker. I don’t know much about Meeker, but I’d always heard he was a …

You know Lincoln Burrows from Prison Break? I was wondering where have I seen him before and then I remembered seeing a first episode of a show called John Doe, about a man without past who knows everything about everything and everyone except himself. Dominic Purcell was also, in …

As far as Season Four of Buffy the Vampire Slayer goes, the first episode “The Freshman” is OK because it provides a lead-in of things to come but isn’t the best season premiere I’ve seen.
This episode starts with Buffy starting her first days as a college freshman and, even …

Watching this episode now, I have to wonder why the Law and Order Criminal Intent series decided to end their season with it. The previous episode is far better than this one, yet it is the season ended. I really didn’t care for this episode very much, and I’m …

One of the television series that I had begun watching very recently was “Breaking Bad”. While I had heard about it a few times, I had never really considered checking it out until one of my family members who has the same taste in television series like me managed …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Young Gun is the ninth episode of this second season. It actually feels like a response to, or an extension of, the sixth show, The Protegé that had Peter Breck as a guest star. The circumstances are a little different, but …

Suburbia never knew what hit it. I couldn’t imagine that an everyday housewife could have so many issues. I love this show because it briefly makes me think that my life is perfect compared to these ladies. I find myself eagerly waiting for the next episode so I …

About a month ago, I decided to upgrade my Direct TV package so I could get a few extra cartoon channels for my daughter. At the time, I wasn’t overly thrilled about spending the few extra dollars each month just for a few channels. But, shortly after switching, I …

Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon is part medical drama and part spy caper. Combined, Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon just doesn’t do a whole lot for me. I never have liked the opening scene. It sets up the drama naturally enough, but it’s just …

Star Trek: By Any Other Name has the Enterprise battling aliens in human form who need transport to their new home world. It’s a long distance, and they commandeer the Enterprise to get it there. This is thanks to a nifty device that turns a human into …

High School of the Dead is about a group of teenagers trying to survive a sudden zombie apocolypse. The show is directed by Tetsuro (Death Note, Black Lagoon) and is based on the hit manga series by Daisuke Sato. The show has yet to be dubbed and brought over …

One word for Columbo: Publish or Perish: yuck. I have never liked this episode of the series. Honestly, I don’t dislike Jack Cassidy, but he annoys me as a murderous villain. He did multiple episodes of Columbo over the years, and I don’t think I liked …

From 2000, Diana Rigg returns in The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: The Rising of the Moon. I’ve always associated Rigg with the classic Emma Peel character, but she’s so different here that I surprised myself that I never really look at her and think ‘Emma’, so that’s a compliment …
