The television series “Monk” was one of those that I began watching from the time the pilot episode premiered years ago. While I don’t remember thinking it was very interesting, especially since I was much younger and my interests differed somewhat, when I got older and my sense of …

I love it when Diagnosis Murder begins with a fun scene, like Mark Sloan rolling in on his skates, and then going right into rounds with the medical students. This is episode nine, The Restless Remains. Things get a bit crazy though when Mark has a visit …

Centennial: The Winds of Death is really an intense and emotional episode of this very long mini-series based on the novel by James Michener. It’s one that I think a lot of people can even identify with today. It’s almost a century old take on today’s home …

Centennial, the mini-series, is introduced to the audience by James Michener, the man who authored the novel on which the mini-series is based. It’s an easy and casual way to tell us what is in store.
1795 is when the story really begins with a brave and colorful Frenchman …

After watching Destination Truth last week for the first time, I couldn’t wait for last night’s episode “Island of the Dolls/Lusca.” It did not disappoint.
Even my wife, who didn’t get a chance to watch the show with me last week, was impressed.
The first case on this one was definitely …

A Man Called Kane is the last episode of the second season of the 90-minute western, The Virginian. I wasn’t really crazy about, which surprised me a little. I’ve said before that growing up I didn’t like this show at all. I found The Virginian to …

Friends Episode: The One Where Chandler Gets Caught is super cool, and this is one of the best episodes ever. How can one just not do without watching Friends while going through their everyday lives..?
I know I did and I love it so much. In this episode, we …

Fireball XL5: Whistle for Danger has one of my favorite ongoing themes. That adorable and mischievous Lazoon, Zoonie, stays at Space City and wreaks havoc once again. He just loves to blow things up, unintentionally of course. Commander Zero finally puts him under house arrest, paw-cuffing …

Julia Davis might have outraged, insulted and appalled with the first series of her critically acclaimed comedy “Nighty Night”, but with its second outing, she pushes the boundaries even further. Although, not always for the better.
The second series picks up sometime after the close of the first. Jill …

This is the first of two parts of one episode. Rose and the Doctor are following an object that is flying through the time hole and crashed into the Earth but they get to the place, London in 1941, one month after the mysterious object. Rose keeps hearing …

I watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, yesterday on NBC.
I thought yesterdays parade was put together rather nicely. The two previous years I didn’t think it was that good, but this years was vastly improved.
As a rule my family watches this traditional parade every year.
I liked the Rockettes. …

The Virginian: Run Away Home is the second show I’ve noticed that was redone several years later as an episode of Alias Smith and Jones (ASAJ), which was a favorite show of mine, called The Girl in Boxcar #3. I recall an article done during that time that …

This hit show has just started it’s 5th series on British TV. This has a British version as well called Project Catwalk, but the American one is the original and best.
This show lasts for 1 hour and without adverts is 44 minutes. It is being shown on Sky 1 …

I like The Cassie Vance Story, one of the ninety minute color episodes that aired during the seventh season of the hit western, Wagon Train. Laraine Day was the guest star, and she was so wonderful to watch. She’s an accomplished actress that brought depth to the …

WHen I was younger and still had not graduated high school, my younger brother would watch cartoons on Saturday mornings and after a while one of those cartoons I noticed was a show named “Butt Ugly Martians”. The first time I heard of it was when I saw him …

Who’s the Boss is one of the most funny and cool shows I have ever seen. I remember watching this show as a kid with my family and loving every minute of it. Tony is so funny in the show and does a great job of acting. Allisa Milliano plays …

Two and a Half Men stars Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer
As a remake essentially of “The Odd Couple,” this show could have easily been a bust, but something makes it a winner. The writing is substandard as it is easily seen as a copy of many …

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 …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Tax Gatherer, a fourth year episode of this black and white western television series, had a lot of potential, but ultimately failed. The problem is that it’s party comedy and part drama, and it would have been better if it’ had stuck …

Piers Morgans Life Stories. I had heard a lot about his chat with Cheryl Cole and as she had been through a fair bit in the last 12 months I was keen to watch as most people he interviews seem to cry, so they tend to be quite heartfelt.
Whatever …

I enjoyed Sea Hunt: Monte Cristo quite a bit for several reasons. For one thing, when we saw scenes in the ocean, we saw some of the sea life. It was a little bit more than some of the shows I’ve seen lately.
For another thing, I loved …

She attempts to …

Death Runs Wild, featuring Anne Baxter, is the first episode of the detective drama, Checkmate. Checkmate, Inc. is actually the name of a private detective agency run by Don Corey and Jed Sills, as played by Anthony George and Doug McClure. The third regular is Sebastian Cabot, …

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 …

In this episode, Karl is convinced that Essie is the one and they should make it official.
Karl is talking to Drew about how he believes Essie is the one and that he wants to be with her forever. Drew tells him about the declaration (marriage) and Karl decides that …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Complete First Season is a fun season to sit down and watch. When I say fun, I mean that there is plenty of comedy and adventure to be enjoyed. I know that the writing isn’t all that well-crafted or deep at times …

My wife and I finally got around to watching last week’s episode of Psych (which we recorded Wednesday because we had other shows on that we wanted to watch instead). It was an OK episode, but much like many of the other episodes this season, could have been better.
This …

Taken was a massive miniseries that aired on the Sci-Fi Channel and was produced by Steven Spielberg. The series covered 50 years of alien history, beginning with the Roswell incident. I watched it when it aired on television, and also grabbed the boxed set when it came out and …

OK, the Monk episode Mr. Monk and the Bully still doesn’t live up to the standards set by earlier seasons of the show (I can kind of understand why there’s only going to be one more season of the series since they seem to be running out of storylines) …

I’m not a big Bruce Weitz fan, but I have to admit up at the top that his appearance as Albert Brock in The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Murderer was outstanding. There was an energetic restraint to his performance, and while that may sound like a contradiction, it’s …

The message of The Twilight Zone: The Rip Van Winkle Caper is that greed just doesn’t pay. It’s an interesting story and one that is a bit unique in that three men steal some gold and then place themselves in suspended animation, setting their pods to awaken them …

It’s another two-part episode for this hit comedy series. That Girl: I Didn’t Have the Vegas Notion Part 1 has Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) co-starring in a play in Las Vegas, so Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) goes with her for the opening night. It starts out with …

In a time when many TV shows are failing miserably, Grey’s Anatomy is still one of the few that are holding strong. After seven years on air, this is a show that is able to keep an audience, me included, captivated and interested. It’s not perfect by any means, …

I finally got to watch Ghost Hunters after having to wait a couple of hours for it to come on the air. I wanted to see the new one but did watch the two re-runs leading up to it too.
This one, “Ghostly Bounty Hunter” was somewhat interesting.
The first case …

Season three of Stargate SG-1 gives us what feels like the annual alternate universe/reality story when the quantum mirror from episode one’s There But For the Grace of God episode is activated by another reality. Thus we get two Sam Carters in Stargate SG-1: Point of View. It …

Stargate SG-1: The Fourth Horseman Part 2 concludes the big middle of the season two-parter. At the end of Part 1, the character of Gerak enters the Council Chambers of the Jaffa. He’s their new leader, and he’s also now a Prior for the Ori.
Here’s my problem. …

Wow, I was watching television Friday night and came across an episode of That 70s Show I had heard about but had never seen before, “That 70s Musical.” I have seen quite a few episodes of this show but this one was absolutely fantastic.
Basically, you have Fez getting ready …

Love of a Bad Woman is the 28th episode of Have Gun - Will Travel’s third season and it has a fun opening with Paladin playing chess. I really like these scenes of San Francisco life more than I do the gunfighter stories much of the time. …

When Sam bypasses a few of the protocols while dialing the stargate, they fall out of the stargate and inadvertently do damage to the planet of K’tau, which happens to be a protected planet under the Asgards.
The K’tau people believe in Freyr, a “god” who is actually an Asgard. …

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 remember watching David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet and it was during those glamor days surrounding the hype of the movie Titanic. It was such a very good episode and Kate is such a good talker.
I love watching her on talk shows and interviews …

Death Note Episode 17 begins with Rem speaking to a businessman about the Death Note while L has a plan to test whether or not Light is the original Kira and whether or not Misa Amane is the second Kira.
This episode was very well done. It had a …

Stargate SG-1: The Tok’ra Part 2 concludes the story where the Tau’ri are introduced to new allies, the Tok’ra.
The most dramatic moment comes when Sam’s dying father actually becomes a Tok’ra, allowing a symbiote to join with him. We first met Jacob in the Secrets episode and that’s …

The problem with M*A*S*H: White Gold is that it’s too much of a vehicle for guest star Edward Winter who returns as Colonel Flagg, the rather odd CIA agent who often ends up at the 4077th unit. I was really surprised by how much time Winter got, even …

I’m a big fan of the Law & Order Criminal Intent series, but last night’s episode, Lonelyville, was a bit too much to swallow.
The premise of the show was good; a wannabe writer is getting drunk in a bar and is invited to participate in a threesome with two …
