From October 1962, The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and the New Mayor was a riot. It’s a very good show that is definitely worth watching.
The main guest star is Parley Baer. He joined the show as a recurring player, portraying Mayor Roy Stoner. Baer replaced Mayor …

Monday night’s episode of Heroes brought us to a conclusion of the current storyline and the Villains storyline. I thought it was a good idea to end the storyline at this point rather than dragging it out through the second half of the season. The show was …

Season four of Stargate SG-1 continues with an intriguing episode called The Curse. It guest stars a beautiful British actress named Anna-Louise Plowman. For some reason, a good majority of the guest stars, especially the Goa’uld, are British. They say it’s never been intentional, but it …

The That Girl - Season Five DVD set is a nice conclusion to the series. With it, each and every That Girl episode has been placed on DVD and available for fans to view anytime they wish. As a fan, I like that. I plan on …

Barbara Stanwyck returns for the second time in season seven in Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story. The story revolves around her and wagonmaster Chris Hale’s romance, something that was hinted at in the season opener, The Molly Kincaid Story.
Stanwyck is a superb actress, and she pulls off …

This two parter introduced us to many new characters at SG1 while losing Richard Dean Anderson as General O’Neill. Even though he made a cameo during these episodes, it was not the same as having him around full time.
Viewers got to meet Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell played by …

Season three of Roseanne was a good one because it started to set up some regular stories for the series, or at least the next few years. Crystal gets pregnant with Dan’s brother, Becky meets Mark and Roseanne instantly hates him, and Dan starts his motorcycle shop. Plus Roseanne …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Last Laugh reminds me of the classic Of Mice and Men, in part because there’s a big, tall guy who clearly is IQ challenged and easily manipulated. That’s really the only connection, but it popped into my mind while watching it.
Stuart Whitman …

Judicial Indiscretion is a very nice suspenseful made-for-TV movie that I enjoy watching quite a bit. It was made for the Lifetime channel. The movie opens innocently enough with Judge Monica Barrett being told by a friend that her name as been thrown in the hat as …

Sadly, the powers that be behind television series often don’t pay attention to their own show’s history. Continuity often has gone into the toilet, so to speak. In CHiPs: High Flyer, we get another example of just how bad it can get when no one cares to …

While watching this February 1992 The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Martian episode, I was never sure where the story was going to lead. I kept making assumptions that proved not to be exactly correct. I liked that and maybe that’s why I kept watching and trying to …

From 1958, The Veil: Summer Heat is the story of a man who witnesses a murder in an apartment across the way from his. Think Rear Window and you have the basic idea of what this is about, at least initially. When the police investigate, the apartment …

Unlike many Americans, I’m not obsessed with television. At least not to the point where I will plan my life around it; with the exception of Green Bay Packers games.
This week, I discovered a mini-series that actually has me clearing my schedule.
When I saw the previews for the Sci …

Why did they give this woman a show? Never mind, I understand. She is one of the most hated people in urban entertainment. This is because she has unearthed some shocking and embarrassing things about the hip-hop community. It’s also because she tends …

Star Trek: Patterns of Force is a solid episode that once again has the Enterprise tracking down missing personnel, in this case, John Gill (David Brian), who had been assigned to a planet as an observer. When the landing party beams down, they quickly realize that the 1930’s …

Its exam time and no one is safe, not even the night students.

A highly regarded writer on the hunt for inspiration, a pair of teenage sweethearts wrapped up in an alleged alien abduction, a UFO obsessed local weirdo and a man in black with a striking resemblance to Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek. All of this might make for a rather complicated …

Being in the United States, for a while I wasn’t sure I was ever going to see the finale of The Great British Bake Off. I’d managed to get copies of the first five competitions, but that sixth was elusive until now.
This cooking competition series began with ten …

Teach - Tony Danza: Solidarity is the fifth hour of this documentary. The premise has this performer known for Taxi and Who’s the Boss actually teaching English at Northeast High School in Philadelphia. It’s been a challenge for him, but I think he’s grown, and I continue …

This episode is a bit controversial. In M*A*S*H: For the Good of the Outfit, the medical personnel realize that the victims of an incident in a nearby town were wounded by American devices. While Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) isn’t that thrilled to follow through, he tells …

When Sam bypasses a few of the protocols while dialing the stargate, they fall out of the stargate and inadvertently do damage to the planet of K’tau, which happens to be a protected planet under the Asgards.

Macross Plus Episode 2 begins with Sharron Apple’s concert and Isamu attends. His rivalry with Guld Goa Bowman increases as Guld grows closer to Myung Fang Lone.
This was an interesting episode. I enjoyed watching it and it was very entertaining, the fight scenes were very well done …

For me, the most recent episode of The Next Iron Chef which was entitled Respect was a little lackluster for me. I’ll go so far as to call it bland. I wasn’t engaged by it or even that interested, and that is very unusual for me. …

There’s a dramatic opening to Adam-12: Log 66: The Vandals when Officers Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Jim Reed (Kent McCord) pull over two men and one of them pulls a gun. That gets your heart pumping. What I notice most, though, is that the character of …

Hawthorne: Final Curtain was an okay episode, but I was more frustrated by it than anything else.
First, let’s take a look at what the title, Final Curtain, was referring to. One of the doctors from back in the day who had worked at James River Hospital shows up. …

I’ve been a bit bored at home lately so I’ve been watching all the episodes of the long-time re-running show Gilligan’s Island from start to finish (not including the various movies after the last episode aired). This included the first aired episode Two on a Raft.
This is a cute …

The Backscatter episode of Numb3rs began with what I perceive to be a ridiculous chase seen. We know it’s a hacker doing something from an alley. They get blocked in, both front and back, and yet the two get out of the car and out of the …

MacGyver: Good Knight MacGyver Part 2 picks up where part one ends. Back in the time of King Arthur, Mac sets up with Merlin to find the evil Morgana and try to clear his family name, which was disgraced. They also hope to rescue the fair Cecilia …

Friends Episode: Phoebe the Massage Assistant is really super funny, hilarious and there are just no words to describe how truly funny she is. I think she is really original and in Friends, she goes through so many paths of careers and the part where she works as a …

Wow, this was a really interesting and unique episode of Castle. This is the beauty of this show, only they can make an episode like that believable, any other crime show would have looked ridiculous trying to pull off a story about a superhero who slices people right in …

Divide is exactly what Stargate SG-1: Divide and Conquer did to SG-1 fandom, and it didn’t conquer anything. All it did was sever the fandom even more.
Stargate SG-1: Divide and Conquer is the upsetisode that took footage from the previous Upgrades episode to serve the purposes of this …

I don’t think Tom and jerry would ever get old and with so many episodes depicting different backgrounds yet keeping the classic chase. They did wonderfully. One of these episodes which features a different background from the usual house or back yard is called Salt Water Tabby.
The Salt Water …

This episode was fantastic and the animation was awesome, it …

Season ten is the last for Smallville and this second episode of the year, Shield, further progresses the story towards Clark Kent becoming Superman. In fact, in this outing we get the first real use of the Superman name, and it actually comes from a surprising source.
Now you’ll …

I was home yesterday afternoon and was flipping channels on TV since it was too cold outside to do anything.
One of the shows I ended up coming across was Cold Case Files. At first, I thought I would be a lot like the series Cold Case; in other words, …

So far, watching re-runs of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer every night has revealed two things about the show. First, Sarah Michelle Gellar is hot. Second, for every good episode of the series, there is at least two bad episodes.
The episode out of mind, out of sight was one …

My biggest issue with the Fire and Ice episode of MacGyver is that it comes just three weeks after the two-part season three opener in which Elyssa Davalos starred as MacGyver’s once-dead and then-dead-again love. To have the same actress, with essentially the same look, return in such …

I had thought I had seen all the older House episodes until today, when I came across “Skin Deep” on television. And, I have to say it was an entertaining episode.
I am not a big fan of introducing young girls to modeling and this episode did nothing to pursuade …

Custer’s Next to Last Stand is the fourth episode of this Richard Dean Anderson futuristic western from May 1995. As many of the shows do, this one combines some realism with their fiction. As you can tell from the title, it’s George Custer who gets the honor …

Criminal minds Season 3 Episode 5- Seven Seconds
This is yet another brilliant episode of the show that would keep you in suspense and biting your nails for the next 45 minutes, as you watch the team of FBI profiles untangling the messy string of events and nothing is really …

Trick Shot Showdown was the 7th episode to air of the Top Shot competition series that pits top gun and rifle shooters against one another. They accomplish this by first having a team competition — blue team versus the red team. Now in my view, the blue …

Good Eats has to be one of my favorite shows on TV. It comes on the Food Network every day at 7 pm/ 6 central with new episodes appearing every wednesday night at 10 pm/9 central. This show is hosted by Alton Brown, a cinematographer turned chef turned food …

I personally do not like watching this episode, since it leaves me more stressed out than anything. There is a suspenseful feel that just rubs me the wrong way, entirely too serious for a family show. Thomas Kincaid rolled by Roy Calhoun, plays a dreadfully serious animal hunter character …

Bart’s last baby tooth is loose, and he’s ready to cash out his earnings from the Tooth Fairy. When he finds a receipt to the United Way instead of his money, Marge explains that the Tooth Fairy probably thought that since his last baby tooth came out, he …

I’m not a huge fan of Shonda Rhimes. For everyone that doesn’t know her, she is the creator of shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice and Scandal, she likes to mix her characters and give a lot of drama to their lives. I’ve seen a lot of her shows and …

The Christmas Visitor, which was a cartoon production from the golden age by Halas and Batchelor, was a variation on the telling of the classic A Night Before Christmas. The color offering actually begins very classically in this regard, with the narration right from the very familiar story.
It’s …
