Blacke’s Magic: Vanishing Act aired on February 12, 1986, and quite honestly, I’m very prejudiced towards it because I was lucky enough to be on the set a couple of days, including one of the location shoots. I was able to meet the director, Walter Grauman, as well …

Highway Patrol: Temptation, a third season 1957 episode that focuses on the service of the California Highway Patrol, was an okay episode with some high and low points. As always, the show starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews. In this episode, he’s on the trail of …

There was a time when Entertainment Tonight was a viable, worthwhile entertainment news magazine. I actually saw their first show, so I’ve witnessed a bunch of changes in format, tone, and hosts. While change is sometimes good, it’s also sometimes bad. Right now, when I think …

Have Gun - Will Travel: A Knight to Remember from December 1961 has one of the fun openings that I really get a kick out of seeing. In the gambit, Paladin, played by Richard Boone, is fencing. He’s showing off a bit for a young lady, who …

I too have aspirations of going to the CIA sometime in the near future…not that CIA, the Culinary Institute of America that is. But for 2 past students on the current season of the Top Chef Competition, things just didnt go down well at all. Pretty much, …

“The Doomsday Sanction” is the 16th episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one, and it really picks up the pace in the series after a couple of slow and forgetable episode. This episode features a lot of the “Big Three” of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman while also …

Have been watching an older game show on the game show network. It surprised me how entertaining it is. It has the host and six television stars on a panel. The host reads the questions, they are in comedic form with a blank the stars have to …

I have been watching the TV show “top gear” for a while now and it is one of my favorite shows on TV. Even if you aren’t interested in cars or racing you can be entertained by this show. Most car shows on TV are very factual and …

Ghost Whisperer: The Children’s Parade is potentially a very nice series ender. It wasn’t filmed that way, or then again, maybe it was. The show has been cancelled by CBS, though there are rumors that ABC might pick it up. All of that just happened, though, …

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.

This is a fun show that I think I learn a lot from. While a lot of the advice is not necessarily applicable to my life, it’s interesting to see what other people have done and what the solution is.
There is of course a certain sense of humour …

Having ignored this show when it was originally aired, I stumbled across a repeat one evening on E4. I knew it was about four lads at school but that was about it. I must have turned on just at the right moment as I heard a characters reaction to …

Star Trek: This Side of Paradise is one of the most well known episodes in which we see another side of the rational and logical Mr. Spock, played so aptly by Leonard Nimoy. It’s safe to say that this Spock is not like the normal Vulcan we see. …

I am shocked that women would allow their young girls to parade across television screens and stages in such adult, provocative clothing. This reality television show follows little princesses (kid beauty contestants) in their quest for crowns and cash. THe mothers on the show are not as …

From the fourth year of Have Gun - Will Travel, The Last Judgment finds Paladin (Richard Boone) defending Dr. Simeon Loving (Donald Randolph) of murder in a town that is ready to hang him. It’s not so much because they believe the man to be guilty, but it’s …

I love to watch the Drew Carey Show. I think this is one of the best and funniest TV shows I have ever seen. Drew Carey is just such a funny guy and he makes me laugh. I think the whole story about Drew and his friends drinking beer and …

The pilot for CHiPs aired on September 15, 1977 and introduced the world to the lives of two California Highway Patrol officers, Jon Baker and Frank Poncherello, played by Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada. On the surface, they were different as night and day, but they were partners …

OK, Destination Truth is once again proving to be my favorite show on Wednesday nights. Last night’s episode, Alien Mummies/Lake Monster had to be one of the creepiest ones I’ve seen in a long time.
First, they end up going to South America to visit a mine (that was scary …

I pretty much stopped watching the series That 70s Show after Eric and Kelso left. But, I have been managing to catch some of the later episodes after work and finally got to see the series finale. I have to say it was pretty impressive.
Since the show takes place …

Well, we watched the 2-hour special for Ghost Hunters 100th episode last night and, for the most part, their investigation of Alcatraz lived up to expectations.
Of course, when I say that, I mean I wasn’t expecting them to find too much and that was the case.
Yes, they heard some …

The topic of Max Headroom: Lessons has to do in part with censorship, including the use of profanity. Now that’s a still relevant issue that continues to be controversial in our true reality.
This half-hour program, which to me is both a comedy and a drama due its mix …

Well, at least we know what became of Sunnydale High School after it was blown up on graduation day; absolutely nothing. The debris were still there and so was the blown up mayor.
The episode “Doomed” was a bit boring in my opinion. You have Sunnydale being rocked by and …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Merchant of Mayberry is what I call a quiet episode simply because the story is a rather low key, sweet one with a character who is unassuming and just a real down to earth type of guy. This second season show guest stars …

Dead Like Me: Dead Girl Walking is the second episode of this rather offbeat drama from the Showtime Channel. It’s all about Georgia ‘George’ Lass, who was killed and is now undead and a grim reaper.
This basically furthers the storyline. George wonders what might happen if she …

Words can not express how amazing this episode is. It’s written by Paul Dini, which is a major indicator of the high quality you’re in for. It also features Bat-Mite voiced by Paul Reubens.
The episode is just so geekily awesome. There are references galore to the …

Critics said that this was one of the more convoluted episodes thus far and, man, they were not kidding. This episode throws a lot at you. As you’re watching it, it all seems to flow and make sense, but looking back, it was an odd and twisty …

This Sony Bravia KDL32L4000 LCD TV is the newest addition to my drawing room and also, to the huge collection of electronic gadgets.

Talk about ending the second season on a high note, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea concluded its year with this 26th episode, The Return of the Phantom. This brought back Alfred Ryder as the marvelous Krueger, who first was seen about midway through the year in …

When I was watching Eureka TV continuously I was seeing commercials for Warehouse 13 TV show. I don’t know why but I got the idea that this show was a horror science fiction one and I wasn’t very interested in it. I like science fiction, Eureka is one of …

That Girl: Ann vs. Secretary is a great show. Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) has yet another secretary. Apparently, Newsview has a secretarial problem because they just can’t keep the same gals hired. This professional helper, though, has a mission that doesn’t just include typing and dictation. …

Sometimes, when you have a television series that has a serial plot-line, you end up with a somewhat weak episode that is primarily meant to introduce new plot points for the season.

The whole Buffy versus Cordelia for homecoming queen thing …

I haven’t watched too many of the later That 70s Show Episodes, so it was definitely an adventure watching the episode “Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy.”
The main story line of this one is kind of cute. You have Leo having a crush on Donna; something that leads to a …

You know, I used to love the show Ghost Hunters. Now I watch it but I honestly am not as big of a fan as I used to be. I think this is because the episodes aren’t as exciting as they used to be.
Last night’s episode, Glimmer Men, had …

I think The Parkers is an OK TV show. Sometimes they show was funny, but I was annoyed by it at times. I really think this show was not written very well. The main plot of the show was Monique the fat woman trying to hook up with the professor. …

For some time, there was a big debate about who was the better Monk assistant, Sharona Fleming or Natalie Teeger. That’s easy to answer; Natalie.
The thing I like about Natalie as his assistant is the fact she isn’t afraid to stand up to him and make him confront his …
