If I were looking for an example of the perfect pilot episode, the Spongebob Squarepants pilot would be it.
The episode does a great job introducing all the characters in the show in three short skits.
The best of the three is the very first “Help Wanted.” In that skit, Spongebob …

I remember curling up on the sofa when I was a kid and it first started, …

Well, at least we know what became of Sunnydale High School after it was blown up on graduation day; absolutely nothing. The debris were still there and so was the blown up mayor.

From 1960, Have Gun - Will Travel: Out at the Old Ball Park was an oddly entertaining version of this western series which starred Richard Boone as gunfighter for hire, Paladin. I really liked the opening bit because it caught me off guard. We’re again at the …

So begins the era of Tennant. The guy had pretty big shoes to fill as Eccleston’s portrayal of the Doctor was highly praised (and rightfully so). Unfortunately, he spends a majority of the episode unconscious so it isn’t until the third act that we really get to …

Apparently, Susan Lucci has climbed aboard the infomercial train. I have seen her advertising makeup and all sorts of things. But the most refreshing thing I’ve seen her endorse is the Malibu Pilates chair. This chair is actually a replication, or rather— a …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Puppeteer was a bit of a strange outing for this western. Then again, it’s not the first time that Have Gun - Will Travel has done strange.
There is actually something weird about a show that continues to do some odd parodies. …

I have a really difficult time getting into TV shows. I always feel like I’m being incredibly unproductive if I’m just sitting in front of the TV watching mindless entertainment for hour after hour. It really takes a lot for me to get into a show to the point …

The show which is called My Name Is Earl is one that NBC shows frequently and this means that I have been forced to watch this show. I watched about four episodes and I do not really understand why this show is on television and other great shows have …

The Twilight Zone: A Game of Pool is another show I just don’t like watching. It’s a two-person episode from the third season and though the acting is good, I don’t care about the story. It can really be summed up by saying that it’s another one …

Nova is a show that I really enjoy. It is an educational show on public television (public television is a station where it is not for profit and relies on donations from the public) Nova always has interesting science stories on it. This episode was about the paleontology (the …

I loaded the old television show Faerie Tale Theater on my Netflix Player the other day as something I could sit down and watch with my daughter. When I did that, I wasn’t really sure what to expect, especially from the first episode “Tale of the Frog Prince” because …

I wasn’t really excited about last night’s episode of Ghost Hunters; well, at least not from the paranormal end of things.

I would have to give 10 points for this Friends Episode: The One with Rachel’s Other Sister. Hilariously funny, because Amy, Rachel’s sister, is not satisfied with Rachel’s mistrust on her taking care of Rachel’s baby Emma. Amy starts to snort beside Rachel and trying to find fault …

From October 1971, Adam-12: The Search is one of the very best episodes of the entire police series. It’s incredibly dramatic, emotional, and angst-ridden in all the very best ways.
