M*A*S*H: Guerilla My Dreams
M*A*S*H: Guerilla My Dreams is a pretty intense episode which is also somewhat controversial in how it is played out. Alan Alda, who stars as Hawkeye Pierce, directed this intense episode. The show does include another cameo from Gary Burghoff as Radar O’Reilly. Burghoff has special …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid TV Show
From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid is a terrific show. It’s so dramatic, but I love the humor in it. This 19th show of the third season begins with a cute scene in the control room of the Seaview. It …
The Office: Local Ad
This season of The Office has been alternating between hour-long episodes and half hour episodes and again I find that the half hour episodes are far better. Local Ad is one of those shorter episodes, but it still feels a little like filler.
Perhaps the need for every episode of …
Hogan’s Heroes
Regardless of how much money networks spend trying to come up with new sitcoms to push on the average television viewer, I don’t think there will ever be a show that is as funny and classic as Hogan’s Heroes.
I’ve seen just about every episode of this show, which has …
The Office: Branch Closing
“Whatever you can say about Michael, he wouldn’t have done that,” is the line of the episode. Watching “The Office” is about watching Michael do stupid things, but it’s good to be reminded occasionally that he has his good points and though in real like he almost certainly …
Shit My Dad Says: A Television Comedy Series
We all have that quirky relative who say the most outrageous things. Instead of being exasperated, Justin Halpern instead chose to make money out of the outrageous things his opinionated father said. Shit My Dad Says started out as a twitter feed which went viral after a friend …
Chelsea Lately on E!
Chelsea Handler is one of my favorite TV personalities right now. Her late-night talk show features a usually witty and on-point monologue, followed by a panel of three comedians, and then a celebrity interview and a closing joke. The half-hour format works well for me, because I …
Trintiy Blood episode 15
The Night Lords arc is the longest arc on Trinity Blood. Period. There has been no other arc yet that holds the viewer in awe, fear, and horror is such a contemptible light, as such I have not seen before. This is Trinity Blood episode 15: “The Night Lords …
The Office: Dunder Mifflin Infinity
In the second episode of the fourth season Ryan returns for the first time since he has been promoted to corporate and it is every bit as awkward as you might expect, but not quite as funny. Perhaps the humor of simple awareness has begun to grow stale on …
The Simpsons Season 4 Episode 3
Homer decides not to go to church on Sunday. He tells her he wants to enjoy one day at home, after working hard in the office. So Marge and the kids go to church in the blistering cold. They are freezing while sitting in the church. Whereas Homer is …
The Simpsons: Bart the Genius
You know, as unintelligent as Bart is supposed to be on The Simpsons, you really do have to admire his ability to improvise when the pressures on.
The episode “Bart the Genius” is a great example of this.
Bart doesn’t want to fail his intelligence test so he manages to switch …
Highway Patrol: Insulin TV Show
Sometimes Highway Patrol episodes really entertain, and sometimes they bore. In the case of Season 3’s Insulin, which was the 17th episode to air that year, I was entertained; for the most part, anyway.
The police drama revolves around two men who show up at another man’s home. …
The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man TV Show
The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man is in the top 5 of all episodes for —˜the best of the series’. It’s a well acted, well put together, and stunning story involving what might happen should Earth be the recipient of visitors from another planet.
We’ve seen in done many …
That Girl: The Snow Must Go On
I’ve talked a bit about the fashion in season’s four That Girl, and that’s why I get a kick out of the fact that in the first moments of That Girl: The Snow Must Go On, Don Hollinger walked into Ann Marie’s apartment and teased her about her new …
Probe: Now You See It…
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, …
Warren Sapp on Dancing With the Stars
I love this guy ! I love watching him dance. He is so light on his feet and he uses the steps to his best advantage. I can’t believe such a bigger guy can move so lightly on his feet and look so good doing it ! He is …
House: Saviors
Last night’s episode of House, entitled “Saviors” was actually one of the better House episodes I’ve seen in recent history.
This, of course, is the episode that takes place one week after the shocker involving Kutner’s suicide and the team has to figure out the cause of an environmentalist’s sudden …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 11
Cowboy Bebop Episode 11 begins with the crew of the Bebop travelling through space while waiting for there to be more news on bounties. Jet finds an old fridge in the corner and then members of the crew start getting sick for some strange reason.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Halloween
Just when I thought season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer could actually go without a bad episode, I come across the one entitled “Halloween.”
To be fair, this isn’t really a bad episode. It’s just it’s an episode that’s been done before.
Basically, it’s the same Halloween episode other shows …
I Love Lucy (TV series) - The Audition (Episode)
“The Audition” is an episode of “I Love Lucy”. I learned that this episode was a remake of the originally unaired pilot episode and after having seen the pilot episode for “I Love Lucy”, I can see how similar the two episodes are. The guest star that appears in …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Fee Fie Foe Fum aired in October 1992 and featured All in the Family’s lovable Jean Stapleton as Grandma. Co-starring in the half hour episode was Lucy Lawless as Liddy Barton and Robert Morelli as Tom. There’s also a pretty white dog. …
The League of Gentlemen - Series Two
The show that brought us stranger phobic Tubbs and Edward, pen loving Pauline and the germ hating Dentons is back, and goes from strength to strength.
With the thread of the new road gone, Tubbs and Edwards can go about slaughtering passers by with one less thing on their …
America’s Best Dance Crew
I love this dancing show from the first time that I watched Mario Lopez flash his dimples. I have to give it to the producers of this show. Their choice of dance crews is really good. I enjoy the fast paced dancing that every crew dishes out. As Shane …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 57: Janine’s Day Off
Janine finally gets some vacation time, and uses it to bring Egon to meet her folks. I know that she’s crushing on Egon, but this seems to imply that they are in a bona fide relationship. Egon even says that he’s not ready to meet her folks. …

The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set
Earlier this year, I was gifted with The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set, which contains all 65 episodes of the science fiction series on 5 DVDs. I’ve just finished reviewing the episodes, so now it’s time to take a look at the DVD set itself.
There are plenty of highs …
MacGyver: Easy Target
MacGyver: Easy Target started with a twist — MacGyver and Pete bickering from a weekend ski outing that hadn’t gone as planned. It got worse when Mac’s jeep ran out of gas, which caused more bickering. It was quite fun to watch. Mac and Pete split …
That Girl: A Muggy Day in Central Park
That Girl: A Muggy Day in Central Park from season three is pretty funny, and it features Ted Bessell in a dress. Now that was a get up! There is a logical explanation, especially when you remember that this show aired on network television in 1968.
In this …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Tombstone TV Show
I had a really hard time getting through this episode of The Ray Bradbury Theater. The episode title is The Tombstone, which aired originally in October 1992. The half hour tale starred Shelley Duvall as Leota Bean. I’ve never been much of a fan, though …
The Cleaner: Pilot

Virgin Media Digital V-Box (and Remote Control)
When I first moved into my flat I had the option of either signing up for Sky TV or going for the Virgin Media cable network. At the time I opted to go for Virgin, largely because they offered a better package with a range of channels, a …

CAREFUL WHEN YOU BUY ON JEWELRY TV
Jewelry T.V. or ACNtv.com has been on the air for about twelve years, and I have used their station to buy far too much jewelry, but, I love everything I get! What I want to give my review on, is WHEN to buy on this station.
Jewelry t.v. has two …

Stargate: Infinity: Greed TV Show
This show opens with more education dealing with a phrase that says someone is worth their salt. Salary comes from the word salt. This was Ec’co’s lesson to Draga that started Stargate: Infinity: Greed. We get a lot of these little words of wisdom and messages …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fight at Adobe Wells TV show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fight at Adobe Wells wasn’t one of my favorite outings for this particular western show. The half-hour didn’t flow for me. In many ways, it just felt like another story with nothing special in it to even make it memorable.
Richard Boone’s Paladin …
That Girl: Kimono My House
While it’s cute enough, I’ve never really liked That Girl: Kimono My House all that much. I can’t really point out any special reason why it’s not a favorite, but that’s just the way I feel about it.
Apparently, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to Don Hollinger’s (Ted Bessell) …
Rock Docs (”NWA”)
When I saw the title of this show on VH1, I was really surprised because I thought it was about something completely different. But nevertheless, it was a special completely dedicated to gangster rap in Los Angeles. The feature was about NWA and their impact on America …
Highway Patrol: Family Affair TV Show
From October 1958, Highway Patrol: Family Affair was the third outing of this fourth and final year of this police drama. The plot is family oriented, but not in a good way per se. This half hour program surrounds a wife who plots her husband’s escape from …
Psych: Shawn takes a shot in the dark
Well, I guess the character of Shawn Spencer can’t criticize all the survival training his dad gave him as a kid any more. After all, he had to use all of it to survive last night’s episode of Psych; Shawn takes a shot in the dark.
Shawn gets shot and …
Life on Mars season 1 Episode 9 The Dark Side Of The Mook

Star Trek: One of Our Planets Is Missing TV Show
Star Trek: One of Our Planets Is Missing is the third episode of the animated TV series that aired on morning television in 1973. I felt that this outing was very suspenseful. It’s amazing how easy it is to get involved in this tales and really feel …

Psych TV Episode: Rob a Bye Baby
Since everyone else was occupied with something else yesterday and I didn’t have much else that needed to be done, I decided to watch another re-run of Psych on my Netflix Instant Watch. This time around, I ended up watching the episode Rob a Bye Baby.
Much like most other …
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Snare for Murder TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Snare for Murder starts out with the action right away, so there’s no San Francisco scene, which is disappointing. However, what happens is pretty good entertainment. Right from the start, Paladin (Richard Boone) ends up in a mess. He helps …
M*A*S*H: The Gun

Lifetime Movie Network
From time to time I will watch the channel Lifetime Movie Network. Sometimes they have really good movies on. Especially if you hardly ever watch the channel. The things I don’t like about the channel is that they have a lot of different movies about the same thing. It …
