Ariel is perhaps the best episode of Firefly, and that is saying a lot. Joss Whedon’s characterization is in top form during this episode. He’s been hinting since the pilot that the only thing that Jayne is really loyal to is money. This episode brings that …

I don’t like watching The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, not because the show is bad, but because it’s so accurate. The show is very well done and has some very believable acting within it. I just hate seeing the harshness of man …

This is the season where it all began for the unforgettable and groundbreaking sitcom that forever changed the television landscape.

From July 2010, In Performance at the White House: A Broadway Celebration was held in such a small room (the famed East Room) with so many people crowded into it that sometimes it’s distracting. The stage is tiny, too. The edited program began with President Barack Obama …

Masquerade: Winnings just could be my favorite episode of this series. I love the concept of the plot and the guest cast was terrific. Basically, the recruits, all just average American citizens, are brought together because they are all high rollers, or were. Poker and other …

While this episode of Stargate SG1 was probably supposed to be dramatic, I found myself laughing through half of it. No, I was not laughing at the stupidity of the episode, like I have done with several television shows. Instead, I was laughing at their humor even …

The Beast Wars - Part One is the first part of the season premier. As a part of the season one premier, it does do what it is supposed to do and it does it well: it introduces the characters and lays out the plot of the series. I …

The Virginian: The Mountain of the Sun combines incredible courage and a love story. It combines for an average tale for this western TV series. I’m really not that crazy about this episode. This is a 90-minute show and this story is an hour one, so …

Despite the great story, this did terrible in the ratings as the …

Early yesterday afternoon, I came across a Simpsons episode I haven’t seen in a while; Sunday, Cruddy Sunday.
As a big NFL football fan, I absolutely love this episode. It features Homer and his new friend Wally organizing a trip to the Super Bowl. This, in itself, is a bit …

I’ve been a fan of the sitcom Wings for years now, though I don’t think I ever watched the show when it was actually brand new. Instead I was one of the people who ended up watching it when it was shown on USA during its syndication years. Every …

My main issue with M*A*S*H: The Birthday Girls is that I have a hard time believing that no one knows when Margaret Houlihan’s birthday is. Considering all of the various birthdays they’ve celebrated on this long running series, it’s just a little difficult to go along with the …

If you are looking for a good cable service and this is the only one available in your area then you will have to let go of the dream of reliable service. If you have the option of going with another provider for your cable company then I suggest that …

This is show is so great. I only caught it during the second season but instantly fell in love with it. The characters are very well developed and you learn something new about them every episode as well as clues to their past and how it relates …

Alan Alda directed M*A*S*H: Dear Mildred, a fourth season episode of this long running comedy series. I’m not positive, but I believe this is the first show Alda directed. It’s a familiar theme, the letter home, and this time it’s written by Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) …

The Young and The Restless has been in the 11 am time slot on CBS in my location as long as I can remember. While it’s a good show to those that like it, I find it rather dull, and increasingly confusing. The story lines aren’t something that make …

This is the final episode of the first season of MacGyver. By now, the producers had figured out that Dana Elcar was a plus to the show. He’s in it once again, and like the show before, he has more action. In many of his first …

I am addicted to The Biggest Loser like just about everyone else I know. I think it’s a fine game show. However, I have one criticism. I hate when they lose so big in the first week and later weeks they act so disappointed that they *only* lose like …

This is probably the strongest episode of the bunch so far. The writing is getting better and this episode had the strongest villain to date, both literally and figuratively.
My one complaint about this episode is that it seems less like a “Birds Of Prey” episode and more like …

My problem in the last few years with Dancing with the Stars is that the judges have favorites and they push for them. It’s a bit of selective visuals.
Here’s my current case in point. The last free dance performance of the night was Derek Hough and celebrity …
