Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Human Computer was the 23rd show of the program which starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and my favorite of the show, David Hedison as Captain Lee Crane. The main guest star is Simon Scott, who plays Mister Reston. …

I finally got an opportunity to watch the show Lie to Me last night. I’ll confess, coming in on a series in the middle of it, really did create some confusion for me as to who the characters were. But, from what I can tell, the show is definitely …

My family has been watching the show Family Guy for some time now (at least until our 5-year-old started repeating some of the stuff she shouldn’t have and we took a break from it) so we were interested when we learned there was going to be a spin-off starring …

From January 1961, The Andy Griffith Show: The Horse Trader is another show where Sheriff Andy Taylor learns a lesson from his young son, Opie, who is brilliantly portrayed by Ronnie Howard, as he was known back then. It’s more or less a tale of backing up your …

Stargate SG-1: Hathor in season 1 of the series is one that I actually like in some ways and one that is disturbing in other ways.
In this episode, the Goa’uld Hathor takes control of our very strong SG-1, and most other males at the SGC. Because the men …

Wagon Train is one of the most respected westerns in the history of television. Originally, it aired as a black and white, sixty-minute show in which Ward Bond starred as Major Seth Adams, the wagonmaster. Later on, when Bond died, he was replaced by John McIntire as …

One of the shows we ended up watching Sunday night was the Simpson’s season premiere “Homer the Whopper.”
This one wasn’t too bad of an episode even though I do think the newer episodes just don’t seem to live up to the older ones. Homer gets a chance to play …

The wonderfully alluring Rhonda Fleming guest stars in Wagon Train: The Patience Miller Story. She plays the title role, a religious woman who speaks in ‘thee’s’ and ‘thou’s’, who arrives to teach school to a combination of Indian and pioneer children. She’s met with some resistance from …

Here we go again. I honestly don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but The Twilight Zone featured James Best in several episodes over its history, and they are all oddball episodes. It seems like if they wanted some back country, mountain folklore, and black magic …

When we decided to watch Law & Order SVU last night, we didn’t know there was going to be two episodes instead of just one. So, instead of going to bed by 9, we ended up staying up an extra hour to watch the second episode called “Possessed.”
At first, …

From February 1961, Sea Hunt: Sperling of Lamatsue was the sixth outing for the show’s fourth year on TV. In the show, our resident diving expert, Mike Nelson as played by Lloyd Bridges, is collecting weeds for research. It’s believed that the weeds could be a …

“School’s Challenge Quiz” is a Jamaican educational television show which has aired on Jamaican television for approximately 40 seasons now. Like the title suggests, it is a bit similar to the American television series “Jeopardy” however, in this one, a selected team from different high schools in Jamaica are …

Chase: Havoc was one of the more interesting hours of this freshman NBC series that focuses on a team of United States Marshals. The head of the team is Annie. She’s a bit of a wild cannon in my opinion and I’m not sure yet if I …

Star Trek: Voyager - “Child’s Play” is an episode that I like to a degree, but have certain problems with. In this episode, Voyager succeeds in locating Icheb’s parents and sets a course for the planet. Icheb is not happy to hear the news as he has come to …

“Parallax” is an episode that I enjoyed quite a lot, not so much for the science fiction aspect of the story which I actually found pretty dull and loaded with a lot of talk that didn’t quite make much sense to me since it was all talk that centered …

I love to watch the television show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show stars Will Smith and it is absolutely hilarious. This show came out in the early 90s and I have been watching it since way back then. I use to watch it all the time …

Stargate SG-1: Affinity is a decent entry into the eighth season of this long-time television show. After all these years, Teal’c is finally allowed to get an apartment outside the base, but his constant involvement in community situations, particularly involving crimes, is a cause of concern for Washington.
There’s …

In one of his most eventful adventures; Larry fakes being racist to avoid jury duty, buys marijuana for his glaucoma suffering father, gets Marty Funkhauser arrested by airport police, picks up an outspoken prostitute so he can ride the car pool lane and ruins his chances of gaining membership …

Although I will admit that I am a terrible cook, one of my favorite television stations to watch is Food Network. I love learning about the history and uses of different foods and seeing others create innovate dishes using ingredients that I have never heard of. One …

The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Saves Barney’s Morale is absolutely hysterical from start to finish, with a tad of poignancy thrown in. This 1961 first season outing as Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) acting as sheriff for the first time when Sheriff Andy Taylor goes out of town …

I have been watching “The Bad Girls Club” since the show originated a few seasons back, and I still can’t believe half of what I see on this show! I don’t watch every week, and usually can’t remember half of the girls’names, but for some reason, every now and …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Gladiators was from the third season of this hit western series. Though black and white, the half-hour series holds up very well. This particular episode has a great message and is relevant in any era. That’s because stupidity, vainness, and …

I would have to say that this is one of the worst Spongebob Squarepants episodes I have ever seen. I am a huge fan of Spongebob, but I truly feel like this one was a disappointment big time. In this episode, a pencil falls from the sky in lands …

David Clark, CEO of Best Western Hotels in the United Kingdom, goes undercover in this first episode of Undercover Boss’ second season. I actually wasn’t aware that this show was airing in the UK. We in America had its first season of the series as well. …

The Virginian: The Big Deal, episode 4 of season 1, brings back Pippa Scott as Molly Wood, the publisher of the town newspaper. She’s a recurring character on this western. I haven’t checked to see how far she goes, but she’s in several episodes from the first …

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 …

Frosty’s Winter Wonderland is the sequel to the ever popular kids’ classic, Frosty the Snowman. Andy Griffith is the host, animated to tell the story. It’s a very good likeness and Griffith is a terrific singer, which I think some people forget. He sings here and …

I’m a sucker for horror movies and have been ever since I can remember. I started watching some horror movies that would frighten most adults in the worst way before I reached age five, and had read most of Stephen King’s novels by the time I was eleven. Therefore, …

I still like the television series Monk. But, either I’m becoming a better detective myself or the show is becoming extremely predictable with easy-to-solve cases.
Mr. Monk Buys a House, the newest episode, is a good example of this.
From the first minutes of the show, we know who is killed …

I didn’t get to watch the entire Bones season premiere last night because I was busy with a few other things at the time (thanks to my wife turning a simple cleaning project into a complicated redecoration of our living room). What I did see of it, however, did …

Last night’s episode of House, Brave Heart, wasn’t too bad.
After suffering through a long baseball game waiting for it to come on, I was a bit confused at first because it looked a lot like a cop show. But, it turns out the case involves a cop who comes …

The Twilight Zone: A Thing About Machines is a really odd show. Actually, I can see how the humor aspect of the episode works. I can even see the Future Shock elements, but it’s still an odd outing for this series.
Basically, the story has a wealthy man …

From April 1967, The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham was the final episode of the fifth season. After an amusing opening scene with James Drury as The Virginian and a couple of odd and end scenes, including an action oriented chase of a Medicine Bow posse, …

Touching Evil: Mercy was the season ender for this show. It began with a more detailed look at David Creegan’s near-death three years earlier. I had thought maybe they were going to focus on that completely and maybe get the shooter, but it was just more background …

“The Moment of truth” is one of the few reality TV shows I like to watch. This show really fulfils the meaning of reality TV show. “The Moment of truth” is all about speaking the truth, and I mean to say only “truth”, in front of millions of people …

Marge is dreaming about James, and so oversleeps. Because of this she Bart and Lisa do not get any lunch. Bart comes up with a plan to get all the kids lunch. He cooks up a story about a cook named Stanley, who would eat children, and would use …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mist of Silence, episode four, opens with a lot of action as we see an attempted murder of a Latin American President. I never really like this kind of thing, so when I see this type of opening, it makes …

I don’t know why but, even though I wasn’t the one driving to Philadelphia, I felt like I wasted a great deal of time watching the Ghost Hunters episode Fortuna & Topton.
I can see why Brian is no longer their case manager. He gets them some sucky cases. And, …

The Inner Circle/Hellfire club has the X-Men hostage and have equipped them with those collars that negate the X-gene, leaving them powerless.
The club is fairly amusing as they really are just a bunch of pretentious fops, Leland especially. It turns out the group isn’t as tightly …

Some episodes of Law & Order SVU really do get you thinking. This was the case on tonight’s episode “Retro.”
There are times I wonder how some doctors manage to get and keep their medical degrees. I can understand having a certain point of view when it comes to controversial …

These commercials are soooo funny. I like the one where the three guys are at a hot party. At first, because you see the first one wearing a white shirt and black tie, you think that he is just a guest. But by the time …

DSTV is South Africa’s only satellite television broadcaster, an off-shoot of the popular MNET pay channel that launched during the 1980’s. There are hundreds of channels on offer, both local and international, and as such, it is inevitable that family members would be fighting for the remote control.
DSTV …

I never thought that I would one day be watching “Are You Smarter than Fifth Grader?” This show is quite clever. I like the concept. And truly the kids featured on this show are really smart. But then again, if they really are in the …

Flip That House is a TLC show where people purchase houses, fix them up and then try to sell them for a sometimes huge profit. I think this is a very interesting show to watch. Its fun to see how much of a profit people can make off of …

I rather enjoyed Have Gun - Will Travel: The Princess and the Gunfighter which is actually quite charming at points. Much of that is due to the presence of Arlene Martel, who at that point in her career went by the name of Arline Sax. Many viewers …

An Irish gang is hijacking VCRs although they don’t actually call those things VCRs back in 1973, they call them gizmos. The detectives from 125th squad arrest some of them but they want to put a stop to it so Sam went under cover with the gang to investigate. …

I really have one major thing to say about The Virginian: Vengeance Is the Spur. I like the Alias Smith and Jones remake better. Seriously, it’s the same show with minor changes. I actually remember back in the seventies reading about how if a show seemed …

I have never, ever, ever, ever liked The Twilight Zone: The Mirror. It is a third season episode of a series that I love which turns me off so much. I don’t like one thing about the show. Maybe it’s the idea of Peter Falk playing …
