Star in the Night from way back in 1945 is a really simple, modern day simile of the Nativity. It’s set out in the middle of a little town and opens with three cowboys on horseback, riding along with Christmas presents. They see a bright star shining …

Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light is another good entry for this puppeteering TV show. There’s some action going on here, especially with Fireball XL5 having engine problems. There’s a bit where the ship goes incredibly fast, actually going faster than light speed. Seeing this on screen is …

The teen-adult oriented cartoon comedy Family Guy is one of the funniest shows currently on the air. The creators of the show are absolutely genius.

The Andy Griffith Show: Class Reunion, which aired in February 1963, was a rather nostalgic, almost melodramatic episode. It clearly set the end to any notion of Andy and Nurse Peggy, who is now a non-factor.
The show began with Barney Fife (Don Knotts) bringing some things over to …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea ended its network run with this 26th episode of this final fourth season with a show called No Way Back. This would be the final time that viewers would see Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and my show favorite, David …

The song “Baby Come Back” is playing in the background in this series of commercials. In one, a woman is using the Swiffer—which happens to have its own squirting mechanism that helps to clean the floor much easier. But once the woman gets to a …

The weirdest thing about Stargate SG-1: Descent is that I don’t understand why Major Davis (well played recurringly by Colin Cunningham) is on the mission with SG-1 and Jacob. Apparently, he’s got some scientific reason for being on board, but the man is supposed to be the Pentagon …

M*A*S*H: Comrades in Arms: Part 1 brings to fruition something that probably just about every viewer probably thought would happen sooner or later. It begins with the 8063rd puts out an SOS for help and Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) head there to assist. …

Even thou the first episode of Season 10 really left a bad aftertaste in my mouth, I wanted to give the series another chance. I’ve been watching Family Guy for years and wanted to see if the writers could redeem themselves in my eyes. That they were still capable …

My problem with The Event: Protect Them from the Truth, which is the third episode of the series, is that we open with another big crash, probably intentional, but the point is that Jason Ritter’s Sean Walker survives, again, when everyone else dies. How many lives that he …

This episode was a vast, vast improvement over the last one. Where “The Idiot’s Lantern” fell flat, this one fired on all cylinders.
The Doctor and Rose find themselves on a drilling rig after the TARDIS experiences what the Doctor refers to as “indigestion”. Before they can investigate, …

From April 1962, The Andy Griffith Show: Andy on Trial is another show where Andy has to essentially fight against everyone to see justice done. It’s the second time we’ve seen Sheriff Taylor in this position where he stands on his own while others are essentially lured …

I saw the infomercial for an exercise video called “Hip Hop Abs.” While the concept is really neat, I found this commercial, and the entire routines really corny. Sean T. is some fitness guy who instructs people on how to flatten their abs with some …

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 …

I’ve been working half days all week and got a chance to watch an afternoon re-run of the show “Bones” yesterday; The Baby in the Bough. I missed the first few minutes but will admit it was a pretty good episode.
Basically, Booth and Bones are called in to investigate the …

After five seasons, the Scifi Channel canceled the long running original series „Stargate Atlantis”. Because of that decision season five finale became at the same time the series final episode. With the possibility for movies, the writers had a difficult task of writing an episode that would give enough …

Family Guy continues its eighth run with this Brian focused episode, “Dog Gone” a pretty standard tale of Brian at odds with the world that doesn’t really deliver too many laughs, but proves a funny enough outing in this largely mediocre eighth season.
When Brian hears his novel “Faster …

Sarah Silverman brings her usual blend of the bizarre, the insulting and the anarchic to the small screen in her very own sitcom. Playing a fictionalized version of herself, Sarah idles her way through life, living in a cushy apartment in LA paid for by her doting younger sister …

The best thing about Due South: A Likely Story is the story that Constable Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) tells both in the first and the last scenes. Gross is a good storyteller, and I understand that he’s a folk singer of some sort, so that may explain why …

When I was a lot younger, I used to love this sitcom. For some reason I enjoyed watching the three young kids, Kimberly, Willis, and Arnold running around that two-dimensional looking penthouse apartment. The decorations were ritzy. I can’t really believe that they lived …

Well now, I have to admit, there are very few shows that are as brave as the show Family Guy. The episode I watched tonight “I dream of Jesus” proves just how far this show will go to get a laugh.
OK, they’ve had other episodes that have shown Jesus …

It’s the morning after in Emerald Point N.A.S., the tenth episode. My hero of the show, Lt. Simon Adams, let me down, though I figured it would happen eventually. What I really don’t like are all the lies that these supposedly honest people tell. Simon is in …

This episode of Survivor was really fun to watch. It was a special show remembering those who had competed in Survivor in the past 19 seasons and how they were doing after the show.
The parts I really enjoyed was watching new clips of Russell Hantz who is my …

The Office US is obviously the US version of the hit UK series The Office. I’m not really a fan of English tv so I watched the American version and I haven’t seen the english model so I can’t compare the two.
I have to say it was a …

The Return is the seventh episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. This is pretty good episode featuring dozens of the Justice Leaguers, including many we rarely see, uniting against a threat of unimaginable power. After six episodes focusing on smaller groups of heroes, it was nice to …

I think Deal or No Deal has now lost some of its appeal for people. I remember when it first started, I wanted to watch every show and see every box opened. I thought right from the beginning it looked a very low-key setting with the wooden floors and …

The Doctor, Martha, and Jack manage to escape their supposed grim fate implied by the cliffhanger from the previous episode. One would think that they were trapped, but luckily, the Doctor manages to fix Jack’s time vortex manipulator to get them back to the 21st Century. It’s …

The Jerry Springer show has run its course and needs to be taken off the air for good and the re-runs never need to be seen again. I can’t understand how this show was so popular for so long.
I can’t stand this show because the show is stupid and …

I have to admit that this episode of Cupcake Wars called Vintage Cupcakes was the first one where I wasn’t captivated off the bat by at least one of the contestants during the first round. This was the taste test repackaging traditional flavors with modern ingredients. The …

I have been impatiently waiting for the fall season mainly because I am eagerly awaiting the start of the television series. One of my favorite and much anticipated show is So You Think You Can Dance. Seasons 1 to 5 were shown during summer, but this fall would be …

For years, Saturday nights has been for football highlights from the top flight in England. At about 10:30pm you can turn on BBC 1 and watch the highlights of the games that have been played during the day. I have grown up with the show and it’s great, but …

The episode begins with Essie trying to find helpers to decorate for the pledge ceremony and Merrill let it be known that Drew will be the speaker and he is shocked …

This episode starts in Brazilian woods where a man kills an animal. When I saw this man I have immediately recognized Jeff Kober who usually plays bad guys in different shows. So when I saw him here I knew something was strange because Jeff was black here. But as …

Presented by two young and trendy presenters (a local club deejay and a beautiful singer), who deliver the content in a fresh, vibey and trendy fashion, Club808 is certainly a hit with me and one Friday night show I have come to look forward too. What I like most …

Diagnosis Murder: Murder at the Telethon had Community General Hospital hosting its first annual emergency room telethon. It was raise money through the telethon or shut down. To me, it’s an amusing way to bring in some interesting guest stars, such as Dom Deluise. He plays …

About a month ago, I decided to upgrade my Direct TV package so I could get a few extra cartoon channels for my daughter. At the time, I wasn’t overly thrilled about spending the few extra dollars each month just for a few channels. But, shortly after switching, I …

I didn’t like it a. I found it to be kind of boring. I think it was more of a filler episode than something they put any effort in. It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t boring either, but yet there was something missing in.
I think the reason why it …

The Twilight Zone: The Prime Mover is one of those episodes that I have a like/dislike relationship with. I dislike a part of it, or perhaps I should say the early indication of where the show is headed, but then I like quite a lot how the ultimate …

The invasion is set to begin. Sokka’s father has gathered allies (ie characters who have appeared in previous episodes) to help in the attack. It’s kind of interesting to see all these seemingly one time characters all come back together. I was hoping Bumi would show up, …

It’s Roger Wilson’s turn to take the point in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Daniel’s Song. Wilson plays Daniel McFadden, the 4th of the 7 sibling brothers. He’s always singing and dancing when not working the ranch, and when he’s not doing that, he’s playing the guitar.
In …

I think Desperate Housewives: The One Where Gabrielle and Carlos Kill Accidentally Gabrielle’s husband on the boat is on one of the episodes of Season 4. But I know it’s the earlier episodes, perhaps 7 or 8.
Gabrielle’s husband, the politician is very suspicious of Gabrielle and this …
