I ended up watching Home Improvement at lunch today because Hogan’s Heroes wasn’t on. It was a somewhat funny episode: “Mr. Wilson’s Opus.”
Basically, Randy convinces Wilson to direct Romeo & Juliet for their school play and Wilson agrees and Tim agrees to design the set. The only problem is, …

Dominic Purcell continues on in the title role of John Doe in the episode called Save as… John Doe. The opening begins with a blonde woman named Paulette Chambers, who picks up a briefcase of some importance. With her is her German Shepherd dog. This sets …

When I was a child we would stay at home and watch television. It was something that you did all the time. One of the first television series that I remember watching in color was the series Bonaza.
There was Brn Cartwright and his sons, Hoss, Little Joe …

Moesha is a pretty cool TV show. It’s about a girl named Moesha who is played by the singer Brandy. She is pretty cool and funny. I like this show because Moesha is always faithful and good to her friends. She always teaches us that friends come first in life. …

I just got done watching the NFC Title Game on Fox and, since there was nothing better on, I decided just to leave that channel on. After discovering the game show “Hole in the Wall,” I’m glad I did.
There are game shows like Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune that …

After watching Destination Truth last week for the first time, I couldn’t wait for last night’s episode “Island of the Dolls/Lusca.” It did not disappoint.

The first case on this one was definitely …

Even though I really thought I would stop watching the show House, I have nothing better to do Monday nights and have been catching some of the newer episodes.
For the most part, I have been pleasantly surprised. The episodes seemed like they were following the same basic format the …

From March 1988, Probe: Now You See It… makes me chuckle. The fun part about the lead character of Austin James (Parker Stevenson) is that he is responsible for some great inventions. One of his creations is what I’ll call the talking elevator. It greets you, …

From 1992, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Some Live Like Lazarus opened in a very intriguing way. We, the viewers, walk up to a house where a woman is seated on her porch. She greets us and says she’s been expecting us. Naturaly, we want to know …

Diagnosis Murder: The Last Laugh: Part 1 is a very memorable episode, or rather both hours are. I’ve always recalled this one. One of the reasons is that it guest stars Dyan Cannon, and she is fabulous in this murder mystery. Her Bonnie Valin character is …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Silent Saboteurs, the tenth show of year two of this Richard Basehart and David Hedison program, has a guest cast that includes Star Trek’s George Takei, who plays Cheng. Also in the program is Pilar Seurat. I’m not familiar …

Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana isn’t really a favorite episode of this series for me, but it still has some good moments. Dick Van Dyke is so good that he takes the mediocre and makes it worth watching. In this first season outing, Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan checks …

I’m not sure I was a big fan of last night’s episode of Family Guy, Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington. It was OK but didn’t seem to be as well written as other episodes.
I did like the plot a bit, Peter’s company is bought out by a cigarette company …

Star Trek: Requiem for Methuselah had the Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beaming down to what they believed was a world without anyone living on it. They needed a substance available on the surface that would fight Rigelian fever, a deadly illness that was spreading through the crew. …

I think one of the best television shows of all time is “Three and a Half Men”. In fact I am watching it right now, and it is a rerun I’ve seen before, but I can’t help but laugh out loud. They have absolutely the best writers, and …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Dead Man aired originally on cable television on September 26, 1992. These stories all come from the mind of science fiction writer, Ray Bradbury. This particular tale is a very quiet one and is appropriately odd as so many of Bradbury’s stories …

I watched Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 7 just before I left to take the boy scouts camping for our usual week of summer camp. I really enjoy watching this series so much and I am excited that I can finally watch all of the episodes in order …

Discovery Science TV-series “Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman” raises thought provoking questions about our universe. Freeman presents what is termed as the latest research about what the unuiverse really is like and our place within it. This is fine, but there is a lack of distance to the …

Undercovers: Devices had a violent opening which I think is ironically tragic because of the victim. I had been a third party, enjoying the cartoons that the victim, a nurse, was watching on TV. It just felt wrong to have her shot to pieces while watching an …

Since my youngest daughter has yet to learn to sleep in on the weekends (her older sister and cat have that problem too), I ended up watching some TV with her this morning and ultimately settled for watching Spongebob Squarepants.
The first episode that was on TV this morning was …

To me, The Office is by far one of the funniest sitcoms I’ve ever watched. It’s about an office (of course)which is named Dunder Mifflin that sells paper products. What I like most about the show, is simply the outrageous things Michael Scott says or does. Michael (who is …

The fourth season was ebbing towards its last fourth when Have Gun - Will Travel brought viewers a show called Everyman. It’s a bit of an odd tale, one mixed in the belief of the tarot cards, which is often controversial.
The San Francisco opening had Paladin (Richard Boone) …

I was very pleased that Death of an Expert Witness - Part 4 was much better than Part 3. The pace was better and the scenes more intriguing.
One of the neat things about this P.D. James television adaptation is that we get to hear the recently promoted Chief …

I love watching movies, and since there are not so many great movies to watch at the theater most of the time, I stick with TV series. I watch many TV series, and one of them is Criminal Minds. At first it was not too interesting since …

“Laugh and the world laughs with you”. That phrase does not always seem to alighn properly with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richey’s, The Simple Life, more often than not, does it? While this dynamic duo makes millions of dollars based upon their innate ability to function in …

When it comes to season finales, or at least summer finales, you think the show Monk would leave its best episode for last, in an effort to keep you wanting more.
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized is not one of the best episodes I’ve seen.
Really, nothing about this episode is unique …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Crowbait wasn’t all that exciting to watch. Richard Boone stars as Paladin in this half-hour western, and in going back and watching these black and white shows again, I’ve learned that some are amazingly forward thinking and fun to watch and others are …

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 …

This is a great episode, lots of action, lightening strikes, and bizarre natural occurrences. The Professor has lots of challenges ahead of him. And I can almost see the gears turning in his scientific mind of his trying to help Gilligan. And this episode is definitely high up there …

Justice League - “Only a Dream” Part One is a solidly entertaining episode that features some fluid animation and a story that is quite unlike any other episode of the series. I kind of felt that this episode was a little predictable in some respects, like when it comes …

This was an episode that I had never seen before, so I was rather excited to tune into see how this played out. Once again, it veers from the extra-terrestrial conspiracy plot line to give us a “monster of the week”. This time it’s the Jersey Devil. …
