While Soon-Tek Oh is an incredible actor and does his normal terrific job in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Warlord, it’s not enough to carry this show; at least, not for me. In this episode, Oh plays Yataki, the warlord, and he does a good job, as always. …

For a show that got canceled twice before, Family Guy had been doing a great job in giving exactly what it had promised, 30 minutes of funny jokes and scenes where you ask yourself what movies they took that from. Yet, …

Highway Patrol: Female Hitchhiker evolves around a trio of baddies who work together to rob unsuspecting folks who offer them rides. The trio is headed up by Warren Childs (Keith Richards), a smooth talking man no one would suspect of being anything more than a businessman. Working …

This was an interesting season. First, you have two major characters getting replaced (Col. Potter replaces Henry Blake, who was killed in Season 3 and B. J. Hunnicut replaces Trapper John, who was shipped home).
In addition, you have one of the worst episodes ever. It consisted of Hawkeye (who …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Code of Honor is an episode that puzzles me. I do not know if the writers of the episode were deliberately trying to be racist or if they were driving at something else, but the way the episode is scripted makes me wonder. …

Code Geass Episode 9 focuses on Kallen and her daily life as a student; we also learn about her mother and learn that she has a tragic home life, along with her double life at school.
I did think that this episode was very interesting and it gave Kallen more …

I like the show Ghost Hunters but the episode Tombstone is one of those episodes that has enough bad camera angles and too many assumptions to sometimes make me have doubts about TAPS credibility.
The team investigated the Bird Cage Theater in Tombstone Arizona, which is definitely a historic place. …

Outsourced, the pilot, is a show I watched along with a bunch of other new Fall 2010 TV comedies just to see if I have misjudged the current style of comedy. You see, I prefer the classics, like The Andy Griffith Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show. …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Teacher is a second season entry from this half-hour western. It’s filmed in black and white, but that helps this show I think. Color is fun, but sometimes drama is better conveyed in this simplicity.
What is unique about this show is …

The episode of nova called Lizard Kings: on the Trail of the monitor lizards, is a very interesting documentary. The show follows the adventures of a lizard expert, and his team, as they trap, study, catch and release lizards in the Red Sands desert in Australia. Apparently this desert …

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 …

Last night’s episode of Monk; Mr. Monk is the Best Man, ended up being a bit predictable but it was actually pretty darn funny too.
Stoddlemeyer ends up proposing to his girlfriend TK (even though they have only been dating for 6 months and seem to rush into the ceremony …

It’s an interesting thing about The Virginian: Ah Sing vs. Wyoming, which was the 7th episode to air in season six. I had wondered if there had been any real context behind the story, a case of reality by taking a real situation and sticking it into an …

This is the last season of All in the Family to be released on DVD even though the show ran for nine years before changing its name to Archie Bunker’s Place. It’s a shame that the remaining seasons haven’t been released and it’s possible they never will be considering …

I got to watch one more episode of Clifford the Big Red Dog with my daughter today; “Good-bye T-Bone” and, while I do feel I’ve seen that particular episode before (just not necessarily as part of this show) I do think it was a pretty good episode to watch.
Basically, …

The Ghostbusters find themselves battling the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Oddly enough, they weren’t quite the menaces that I had hoped they would be. They don’t really do anything. We hear talk of chaos erupting all over the world, but we don’t see much of …

Well, that was a halfway decent Ghost Hunters episode. I started out watching “The Fear Cage” expecting not to see to much. But, it turned out to be pretty interesting.
The TAPS team visited the Cashman Inn; where a lot of confederate soldiers and generals stayed leading up to Gettysburg. …

This is a Sci-Fi show about Frank Parker and his NSA team, they have invented a sphere that takes Frank to the past, but they use it only when something bad happens that threatens national security. In the team there’s also Dr. Olga Vukavich, a Russian scientist, and between …

Until my recent rewatch, I forgot how well this pilot set up all of the conflicting forces in Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner)’s life — SD-6 versus the CIA; her father versus her independence; her graduate studies in literature versus her work as a spy; and her personal life versus …

As respects the August 10, 1990 airing of The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Black Ferris, I’m going to start by saying that I went nuts trying to figure out where I’d seen the main young boy in this story. His real name, Zachary Bennett, was familiar but I …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Exile is the 27th entry of this intriguing series which stars Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Lee Crane who serve aboard the Seaview, a nuclear submarine. After two mad scientist shows, we’re back …

After being disappointed by the Monk Season Premiere, I was glad when Psych came on to save the day.
The season premiere of that show “Extradition from British Columbia” turned out to be much better than expected and I think I’m starting to think of this show as my favorite …

Synopsis: It’s Christmas Eve at the Animal Rescue Center of this animated television show and Diego must help get Santa’s slay un-stuck from a mountain using the help of his llama friend. At the same time, he needs to put signs in front of all the animal houses so …

This was an episode that kind a wanted to present agent Sarah as a person with a past not just as this insensitive government agent. Unfortunately they couldn’t get me interested in her and I find the story kind a superficial.
We see a girl returning home and seeing police …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Booby Trap is an episode that is quite good. What I particularly like about this episode is the music. It is exceptionally good in achieving a sense of wonder and awe in scenes that warrant it, while in other scenes, projecting tension and …

Lust for Glory is the fifth piece of the six episode documentary about the very popular British comedy team, Monty Python. The documentary is entitled, Monty Python: Almost the Truth - The Lawyers Cut.
Much like part four, Lust for Glory is dealing with a topic I don’t believe …

This is one of my most memorable episodes of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files”. It was memorable to me because of the plot of that particular episode whereas I had always wondered if people who were struck by lightning and survived ever became electrically charged even …

The Twilight Zone: Spur of the Moment from this show’s fifth and final season is okay, but not a big favorite. I actually tend to watch it more because one of the guest stars for the half hour is Roger Davis, and I tend to enjoy his work …

The title of the episode is given by Ted’s Mother who always used to say Nothing Good ever happens after 2 am. And the entire episode is filled with events that supports this statement. So from the previous episode Robben call Ted over after 2 am. Now Ted is …

Airing originally in January 2004, Whoopi: American Woman features the usually very funny Rue McClanahan as a guest of the Hotel Lamont, the place owned by Mavis Rae (Whoopi Goldberg). The big surprise for me about this show is that there really weren’t any laughing out loud moments. …

Jon-Erik Hexum and Meeno Peluce star in Voyagers!: Destiny’s Choice wherein their characters of Phineas Bogg and Jeffrey Jones have to convince Franklin Delano Roosevelt to continue with his political dreams.
Much of the story in Destiny’s Choice was, of course, strength of character in the face of adversity. …

In this episode, Dr. Murdock is trying to wean the five vampires off of blood, but it doesn’t help when the shipment of blood he ordered turns out to be nothing more than placebo blood.
Drew still feels drawn to Sherry, as Merrill harbors her own secret love for Drew …

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 …

Fireball XL5: Spy in Space reminds me of an episode of Bullwinkle where we see the evil characters of Boris and Natasha, only here they are called Boris and Griselda. They really are a couple of nutty buffoons. Boris is always getting them into trouble, making the …

Another 7-Parter in the 8th Season of Doctor Who and another wonderfully scripted episode.
Tensions between the Doctor and UNIT are growing as the Doctor is still bitter at UNIT’s apparent genocide of the Silurians in the previous serial.
Despite the great story, this did terrible in the ratings as the …

Maybe I am not the best person to say this but I really think this episode was amazing. It wasn’t very spectacular but the idea was really ingenious. If you remember in one of the first episode of the last season the Doctor took Rose to see the destruction …

In a episode focused on an obscure person, is it not more essential for one to know themselves before they know about others? In the case of Rei Ayanami, there may be no answers in sight or their may have never been answers to her being in this shattered …

The Wayans Bros is one of the best shows I have seen in a long time! I just love this show! Marlon and Shawn are The Wayans Bros. Marlon is so funny because he makes the funniest faces and he also has a funny voice. The jokes on The Wayans …

In this episode, there is something wrong with Dr. Murdoch and Merrill is the only person who is will to find out.
The episode begins with Merrill and Dr. Murdoch in a conference about a fictional story she wrote and all of a sudden he starts hearing things and starts …

MacGyver: D.O.A.: MacGyver is a neat little episode where MacGyver gets a nasty case of amnesia and ends up believing that Pete is a terrorist he’s been hunting for years. The face off is really a great bit of angst at the end of the show. It …

I’m afraid that The Fall Guy: The Silent Partner just doesn’t do it for me. In fact, it turned me off the first time I saw it, back in April 1982. Aside from a boring script, I have never been able to stomach Mickey Gilley, not as …

CHiPs: Vintage ‘54 had some good moments in it, including some with that lovable elderly lady, Mrs. Downey, played by Marjorie Bennett. She did a few episodes in this first season of CHiPs. This time her car gets stolen and she demands to have it back ‘now’. …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Waters, episode 7 of year 3, guest starred Don Gordon as Stan Kowalski. This show proves that if you can stick it out long enough, being a recurring character can get you your own story. Del Monroe has played …

It’s another animal story, and that means I’m closing my eyes. This was the year of the message show for MacGyver with numerous shows dealing with environmental and animal welfare issues. I wouldn’t mind them except that I can’t stand to see or hear even a hint …

The episode “Hawk and Dove” was one of the worst episodes of the first season of Justice League Unlimited. Even Wonder Woman cannot save this episode full of cliches and generalizations.
The plot involves an armed conflict between two sides in some South American country. You do not …

Private Eye: Blue Hotel Part 1 is a remarkably engaging episode of this series, which is set back in the mid-to-late fifties. It stars Michael Woods as Jack Cleary, a one-time cop who is now a private eye. Working with him is Jack Betts, a young man …
