Castle Films presented a cartoon version of Simple Simon. This now vintage cartoon from the golden age of TV begins very lively with the children’s song about Simple Simon. Then we learn everyone is going to the fair, and that’s where the story goes.
While I loved the …

It’s another example of big city cops not trusting the little Mayberry sheriff’s office in this February 1962 episode of The Andy Griffith Show called Jailbreak. It’s also another use of the ‘Barney thinks he can do everything’ plot device. Combined, it leads to some good comedy, …

Sea Hunt: Sunken Car begins with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing a survey job where a pipe would be placed later. I like seeing how they link these little opening bits with what ultimately becomes the main focus of the half hour episodes. The survey really has …

The I Love Lucy TV show may be a bit old, but it is still one of the best, leaving far behind most of the modern-day shows that I can only describe as stupidity/immorality parade.
I Love Lucy is funny and tasteful. You can watch it with your children without …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - “All Good Things…” Part Two is the last episode of the series, and really, I think it could have been better. There is a lot about this episode that just does not make very much sense. For example, the explanation for where the …

My wife and I used to watch the show Scrubs when it first came on the air but got away from it for a while. However, we’ve been watching re-runs lately and I find myself wondering why we stopped watching this series.
One of the episodes I watched the other day …

Voyagers!: Pursuit was another good episode and one I enjoyed a lot, in part because it dabbled just lightly into the space program, which is a topic I’m very interested in. Do a good space show, and the odds are I’ll enjoy it.
Apparently, it’s young Jeffrey Jones’ birthday …

The plot of this season The Office has been moving quickly; stretching away from the basic formula, which succeeded in the seasons before but had began to get old. It is still the same show, but with many new elements.
In The Convention we see little of Jim’s new office …

The Molly Kincaid Story was the first color episode of Wagon Train. It was also the first ninety minute episode of the very popular western. Westerns were very much ‘in’ during the sixties, and when color came into play, the executives decided to go big with their …

I had some free time before work this morning and, since my wife was on the computer, I ended up watching some TV.
As is usually the case that early in the morning, there wasn’t much to watch so I ended up watching a re-run of the show Happy Days …

If you like westerns, then you will probably like this TV show starring Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris plays Walker, a Teas ranger. This is essentially a cop shop, except made country by the fact that the main character is a ranger in Texas rather than a policeman. The show …

This episode resolves the case Artie was dealing with in the last 3 episodes. Artie works in the Warehouse 13, he is some kind a housekeeper if I can call him that way, of the Warehouse where artefact that affect people’s behaviour are held.
In last few episodes he was …

As the World Turns from September 17, 2010 was the last of the series as this decades-old soap left the airwaves for ever. The hour long program was more of a Don Hastings reflection show, a compilation of vignettes in fact, that wrap it all up forever. …

The Andy Griffith Show: Rafe Hollister Sings is quite the entertaining half hour episode of this successful comedy series from the early sixties. I love the songs, the lightheartedness of it, and the comedic beats which are family oriented, meaning this show is enjoyable for all ages. …

Emergency!: Cook’s Tour is a fun little show. When I watch it, it’s not really any one story that stands out, but it’s more the feel of the firehouse that is the heart of the show. Fire department cooking is almost legendary, and this show deals with …

My girlfriend was bored a few weeks back, and she found herself perusing Netflix for a movie to stream. She stumbled upon the television program Teen Wolf, and our two week addiction ensued.
I was hooked from the first episode I watched, which was the fourth episode into the …

Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Jamaican Dinner began with her seated on the couch talking about changing things up when family complains about having the same thing. This was a much more relaxed opening than previous shows. However, most shows I get that relaxed feeling from …

The Twilight Zone: What You Need is one of the most memorable episodes of this TV series. The reason it works so well is thanks to Ernest Truex, who plays the peddler. He has the ability to sense what a person needs and offers it up to …

There was a time when I wouldn’t miss this awards show, but as Hollywood changed and what America watched changed, I lost interest. It never got as bad as the American Music Awards, but it came close sometimes. The thing about this particular awards show is that …

I have always loved Richard Dean Anderson so couldn’t wait to watch his new series, MacGyver, when it debuted in 1985. It was the beginning of real success for Anderson and the start of a new culture, one filled with MacGyverism and TV parodies like MacGruber on Saturday …

Here’s to the Future is the first part in the two-hour finale for Season 5 of Grey’s Anatomy. And if you’re a fan of the series, you would know that season finales are usually one of the best episodes in the series.

With the success of Ice Road Truckers, it makes sense that there would be a spin off of some sort sooner or later. Apparently, now is the time. Debuting right after the season finale of Ice Road Truckers, IRT Deadliest Roads: Freefall Freeway includes my favorite, Lisa …

“The Ties That Bind” is a pretty bland episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. The episode features Miracle Man, Big Barda and the Flash. Mister Miracle struck me as uninteresting, and Big Barda just seems to be a rip-off of Wonder Woman. Plus, the main villians …

A Star Is Dead is the third episode of the drama Quincy, M.E. which starred Jack Klugman as the chief medical examiner for Los Angeles. We’re still learning more about the man and what makes him tick. One of the things mentioned here is how he quit …

Words can not express how amazing this episode is. It’s written by Paul Dini, which is a major indicator of the high quality you’re in for. It also features Bat-Mite voiced by Paul Reubens.
The episode is just so geekily awesome. There are references galore to the …

“Crime Aid” is the forth episode of this season of The Office on NBC. This was a very funny episode and I enjoyed it a lot! All the characers were ‘on’ in this episode and Michael was even crazier than normal.
