I Love Lucy (TV series) - Lucy and Bob Hope (Episode)
“Lucy and Bob Hope” is an episode of “I Love Lucy”. Bob Hope guest stars in one of the series’ most memorable episodes, in my opinion. In this episode, Lucy thinks that Ricky hasn’t been able to get Bob Hope to appear at his club because of her disastrous …

Stargate Atlantis: First Contact
Stargate Atlantis: First Contact is the reason I’m reviewing this fifth and final season of this science fiction series. The series itself is not a favorite at all, but I adore guest star Michael Shanks so was able to get the fifth season set of the series. …
Made: Cheerleaders
I’m clearly from an older generation as I’d never even heard of the Made tv series until very early this morning when I watched an episode for the very first time. In reality, the show has been on for ten years according to the website. Of course, …
Prison Break
One of the best series to ever hit the television small screen, I honestly and truly believe that the hit series Prison Break, has not only captivated me, but has made a huge impact on audiences world wide.
When I watched Prison Break for the first time last year, …
Life Beyond Trek: Leonard Nimoy featurette
This feature, Life Beyond Trek: Leonard Nimoy, is really fascinating. As the title indicates, it delves into Nimoy’s life beyond the famous Star Trek series. In his case, it doesn’t even involve acting. In this wonderful piece, the man shares with viewers his love of photography.
I’ve …

M*A*S*H: Potter’s Retirement
M*A*S*H: Potter’s Retirement is a pretty decent episode from the sixth season of this great series.

Now in years past, that was commonplace for Potter’s predecessor, Colonel …
Matt Le Blanc on Ellen
I have watched Matt Le Blanc on Ellen and he is as awesome as he is on the show Friends. Even with a serious look, I just can’t help laughing at Joey’s expression and he looks like he is very calm, cool and collected. He talks to Ellen …
Happy Days TV Episode: A Case of Revenge
I had some free time before work this morning and, since my wife was on the computer, I ended up watching some TV.

As Due South winds down, it gave us a storyline twist that really proved to be quite interesting. Due South: Hunting Season guest stars Jessica Steen as Constable Maggie MacKenzie who comes to Chicago for much the same reason as Constable Benton Fraser had, to track down a …
CSI Miami TV Series
I love watching this TV series both on TV and online. I love watching crime movies because it is such of interest to find out how a crime is committed, what is going on in a criminal’s mind, and the consequences of the action afterwards. Watching CSI series piqued …
American Gladiators (Jan. 7 episode)
While I have written how much I love the idea of American Gladiators returning to television, after watching the Jan. 7 episode of the show (the third overall), I’m finding myself questioning whether the contestants are winning fair and square.
First of all, the winners are a little too likeable. …
The Clone Wars: Lair of Grievous
The best part about this episode of “The Clone Wars” was that most of the regular cast wasn’t in it. It’s not that I don’t like the regular cast of characters, it’s just that I know what happens to most of them. Now that is generally true of most …
Doctor Who: Pyramids of Mars
This is possibly one of the best Dr. Who episodes out there. Doctor Who Pyramids of Mars has 4 episodes and together it is 96 minutes long. Tom Baker plays the Dr. and his assistant in this episode is Sarah Jane played by Elisabeth Sladen. Typically I do not …

Futurama TV Episode: Fry and the Slurm Factory
My daughter and I took the time to watch a Futurama episode Tuesday night and ended up watching the Season 1 episode Fry and the Slurm Factory.

The Simpsons
The Simpsons has been around forever and it’s the kind of show everybody knows about.
Those of you that haven’t seen it are missing out. Why? Because it’s funny and it’s current. By current I mean that the writers keep the material fresh and relevant to what …
Highway Patrol: Hostage Copter TV Show
From 1957, Highway Patrol: Hostage Copter was the 38th show of the second season of this police drama. This show was one I enjoyed quite a bit and one of the main reasons for that was guest star Barbara Eden, who played Kathy O’Shea. Early on in …
Star Trek: Spectre of the Gun TV Show
From 1968, Star Trek: Spectre of the Gun is a show I really do love. It’s a take on the events of the O.K. Corral with Wyatt Earp. Of course, it’s based more on the myth of what happened than the reality, but it’s still legend and …

A Man Called Hawk: The Divided Child
From February 1989, A Man Called Hawk: The Divided Child isn’t a show that I enjoyed very much. In fact, I had a difficult time keeping focused on it during the first half. There was a lot of action and shoot ‘em up, and it just didn’t …

The Twilight Zone: The Invaders TV Show
I’m not big on silent movies, and that’s probably why I’m not a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Invaders and never have been. The only dialog in the entire episode is the spoken narration at the beginning and the end by host, Rod Serling, plus a …
Due South: Easy Money
The allure of Due South: Easy Money is the flashbacks they show of Constable Fraser as a 12-year-old boy in Canada. He had run away from home because he wasn’t allowed to hunt. His friends were all hunting by that point, and he felt he had a …
Max & Ruby
There really aren�t many cartoons on television I�ll approve 100 percent for my daughter. The bulk of them are either too cheesy or feature crude humor; two things that will either make it boring for her or will make me want to monitor which episodes she watches.
The show Max …

The Inbetweeners - E4 - Series 3 - Episode 2
The Inbetweeners, it is now into its third series and it showed in the first episode that it had not lost much of what made the first two series so good, so a lot was once again expected of the second episode.

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Protege
There’s some drama for sure in Have Gun - Will Travel: The Protégé when Richard Boone’s Paladin teaches Peter Breck’s Kurt Sprague in gun use and etiquette. It’s so weird to see Breck playing this kind of role. He was all decked out in a proper city …

The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 10: Take Two

Entourage season 2 Episode 6 Chinatown

Simpsons - MoneyBART

Popular Season 1
Popular was an underappreciated show on the now gone WB Network. The show never took itself seriously, nor did the actors, and that was part of the fun of watching. You never knew when the characters would stage a cat fight in the middle of a scene, or break …
Street Hawk: Chinatown Memories
The Street Hawk crime fighting series continues with episode 7, Chinatown Memories. My problem is that I’ve never liked TV shows that center around the Chinese version of the mob. I don’t like shows about any mob, to be honest. They are cliche and boring to …
Fresh Prince TV Episode: Love Hurts
I tuned into channel 24 out of Milwaukee yesterday afternoon expecting to see a re-run of That 70s show. In fact, that’s what was showing on the guide part of the screen (and online). Instead, however, was a re-run of the show Fresh Prince.
I didn’t really mind this too …
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia airs on FX, and is not a show for the faint of heart. If you’re easily offended by shows like South Park, you’ll find this show to be atrocious. Yes, this show is more offensive than South Park. The humor is …
Family Guy: Barely Legal
OK, I like some Family Guy episodes and don’t like others as much. That’s going to be true about most series. But, some episodes of this show like “Barely Legal” are just a bit disturbing.
If you haven’t seen this episode, it goes a bit like this. Meg convinces Brian …

There’s a surprising event in this fifth installment of Devices and Desires. It’s not all that shocking, but at the same time, it turned the murder investigation upside down.

CSI Season 4 Episode 12- Butterflied
CSI Season 4 Episode 12- Butterflied
This was a very powerful episode, not as much for the investigation part of it, but the back story. The victim in this episode looks very much like Sarah, which has a very deep effect on Grissom and he refuses to rest before he …
