Daytime TV: All My Children
Daytime television wouldn’t be the same if it didn’t include All My Children. All My Children has been a daytime tv staple in many people’s homes for many years. With characters like Erica Kane, Adam Chandler, Tad Martin and Liza Colby, Pine Valley is still just as interesting today …
The Andromeda Strain
The Andromeda Strain is a television movie that aired on A&E or Arts and Entertainment on Memorial Day of 2008. The movie was advertised for several weeks before it ever turned up on television and they continued to push it as the movie event of the year. Unfortunately I …
America’s Psychic Challenge

All in the Family The Complete Sixth Season
This is the last season of All in the Family to be released on DVD even though the show ran for nine years before changing its name to Archie Bunker’s Place. It’s a shame that the remaining seasons haven’t been released and it’s possible they never will be considering …
China Beach: Lost & Found Part 2 TV show
China Beach: Lost & Found Part 2 was the tail end of the first outing for this dramatic series as it entered its second season. As was always the case for this groundbreaking series, there was a lot going on throughout the hour.

Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 3 TV Show
Week 3 of Dancing with the Stars - Australia began with a big of a joke when they introduced one of the bottom 2 from last week as Jason Stevens, who had actually been voted off last week. Some caught it, but I’m not sure every did. …

I enjooy watching TV. An I get a kick out of watching people on TV doing “reality shows” I have watched Judge Judy for years, she is entertaining.
There are plenty of Judge or court shows on TV and I believe that the Judy Judy series is …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Bobby Riggs TV Show
Believe it or not, even tennis guru Bobby Riggs was worthy to be the Man of the Week on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. It’s amazing who they honored, and that’s not always good. Martin had a few good opener zingers, including some about the big Billie …
Lie to Me the TV Series
Aside from Bones and NCIS, Lie to Me is another TV series that I thoroughly enjoyed when it started last January. I am happy that this was picked up by a network for a second season. Dr. Carl Lightman (Tim Roth) is the head of a group of psychologists …
American Idiol
I started watching American Idol in their first season because I loved to hear people sing. I thought a show that would give the opportunity to an amazing singer, who might not have a chance of otherwise being discovered, was an excellent idea. I loved watching it every …
Jericho (tv show)
Maybe its just me, but this fall season a new show called Jericho is on prime time television and I have attempted to watch the show three times now and I have not a clue what the main idea is. I get the idea that the town has …

In Sea Hunt: Hot Tracer, as often happens, Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) is teaching a man how to dive, only the man doesn’t have the right attitude. This young man is a hot shot athlete, and he just doesn’t take diving as seriously as he should, which …
CSI Season 12 Episode 8 (TV Series)
I enjoyed episode 8 of season 12 of CSI very much. I thought that it was a very thought-out and well constructed episode. As far as I see it, it could have been made into a very good movie. The cases were very original and you couldn’t guess who …
Family Guy TV Show
This is a show I thought I would never like. For a long time I wouldn’t even give it a chance. I don’t even think I realized that it wasn’t a cartoon for kids. I honestly thought that it was so I figured I wouldn’t like it. But since …

The Visio M260VA is our first flat-screen TV. We got the 26 inch so it will fit inside our TV stand (the stand is solid wood, looks beautiful, and holds many movies along with several glass figurines which is why we wanted to keep the old TV stand with …
Reba
I recently started watching a show called Reba which has Reba Mccantire in it. It’s a really funny show and I think a lot of people could relate to it no matter what there age or gender. Everyone in the show is funny especially Van. I think mothers could …
SOUTHPARK TV SHOW
Please, enjoy South Park as much as you like, but, please, be certain that the children cannot hear nor see the television when you do it! My husband and his delivery men all think this is about the funniest show on television. It isn’t that it doesn’t have …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and the Choir TV Show
From season two, The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and the Choir is a hoot. It has story problems in terms of continuity, but you just can’t beat this for entertainment.
This is a theme that was repeated multiple times over the course of this series while Don Knotts was …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Don Rickles TV Show
Don’t be confused by the title of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Dean Martin began doing roasts on his TV show and they went over so well that they became their own unofficial series of sort — The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. Those participants were usually labeled …
Glee 201- Auditions
After hearing my friends praise Glee, the musical television show, for the past year or so, when Glee came back on television, I decided to give it a try. I had a general idea of what went on last season plot-wise, so it wasn’t too hard for me to …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Lessons
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Lessons” is an episode that on some levels I really like, but the way in which the episode is handled overall bothers me. In this episode, Captain Picard begins to develop feelings for a new officer and as they begin to explore their …
Changing Lanes: Ep 4 TV Show
The action in this fourth episode of Changing Lanes begins with the racers talking about Juan Pitta’s elimination from the competition. This left 8 men and women to vie for four jobs with Revolution Racing, Max Siegel’s racing team. As of the filming, which was a year …

The Office: Frame Toby
“Frame Toby” is the Office episode originally airing on November 20, 2008. This was an unusually weak episode, with few laugh-out-loud moments and central characters acting in very odd ways.
My biggest complaint was the way Michael acted throughout the episode. We all understand that he hates Toby, …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Fires of Death TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Fires of Death is the first entry of this hit science fiction series’ fourth and final year on the air. In this season opener, the Seaview and its guest, Dr. Turner, have a tall order, to stop a volcano from erupting. …
The Virginian: Vision of Blindness TV Show
From October 1968, The Virginian: Vision of Blindness was the 4th outing of this 90 minute western’s seventh season on the air. I’ve been watching a few more of these shows lately because David Hartman is now in the cast as David Sutton, one of the ranch hands …
Star Trek: The Cloud Minders TV Show
Star Trek: The Cloud Minders is an okay third season entry for this science fiction legendary show, but it’s hardly a favorite. What I do like about it is that at least it’s not Kirk falling in love again. That said, it’s yet another story about a …
That Girl: Rain, Snow and Rice
In That Girl: Rain, Snow and Rice, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) and Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) get a big surprise from their friends and that means an impromptu trip to Connecticut during a rain and snowstorm.
Jerry Bauman (Bernie Kopell) and Margie get married. Is this the same Margie …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 18: Fearful Symmetry
I remember this being one of the first episodes of “The X-Files” that I ever watched. I also remember not being all that impressed by it. That view still holds up to this day. It’s not terrible, by any stretch, but it isn’t particularly memorable, especially …
Tough Love (VH1 show)
“These reality shows are getting out of hand,” I used to say. But then this one reality show came along and focused on the women of the world who are responsible for their own dating failures. At first I wondered whether they would pick …
A-Team TV Episode: Waiting for Insane Wayne
I ended up watching an A-Team marathon this past weekend and one of the episodes was entitled Waiting for Insane Wayne.
This one was actually better than I thought it was. The team members are actually minding their own business and are mistaken for another group of mercenaries a landowner …
MASH Series- DVD Boxed Set
MASH was one of my all time favorite series and when it ended, I watched, with millions of other Americans as the Finale played. No one was really sure if we would ever see Hawkeye and the rest of the crew as they muddle through the day to day …
Gargoyles: Golem
Goliath and his crew end up back in the present and land in Prague. It’s here that they run into Renard, who Goliath still believes to be a friend. That impression is somewhat staled as Renard brushes Goliath off and tells him to go away.
Meanwhile, a young rabbi …
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Lucent Dossier TV Show
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Lucent Dossier was probably the most unique of all the Top Chef shows from all seasons, and that wasn’t necessarily a good thing. In fact, it brought up a lot of questions. These pastry chefs have more emotional issues than the regular top …
The Virginian: The Judgment
The Virginian: The Judgment is a flashback tale, told by Judge Henry Garth (Lee J. Cobb) to his daughter, Betsy (Roberta Shore), about something that happened ten years earlier. As a result, the show is Cobb-centric. Outside of Shore’s short bits in the opening and the ending, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: No Visitors
June Lockhart appears as Dr. Phyllis Thackeray in Have Gun - Will Travel: No Visitors from season one. She’s essentially tolerated but little more in this outpost where she resides. She meets Paladin after he stumbles upon a woman and her baby who had been left behind …
That Girl: He and She and He
One episode I’m really not fond of at all is That Girl: He and She and He, a second season entry. This brings back the character of Noel Prince, the British photographer from the two parter earlier in the season. In that outing, Noel went after Ann …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 13 - Risk
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 13 - Risk
Yet another great episode of the show. In this episode the team must find the killers in two very different cases. In the first case, Danny sees a body on a the subway tracks while taking a ride home. The …
Supernatural Season 2
Supernatural season 2 wasn’t nearly as good as the first season and it also wasn’t quite as good as some episodes in the third season, but it was still pretty good. The first season ended on a cliffhanger and the first episode picks up right where that one ended. …
Fireball XL5: The Triads
One of 39 episodes, this Fireball XL5 program is called The Triads, and I have to say, it has a heck of a funny moment when Professor Matt Matic goes running across a planet while being chased by a giant lion. What is terrific is that this is …
Due South: The Promise
Apparently, Fraser’s driving is no longer questionable as in the opening scene of Due South: The Promise, he’s driving Inspector Meg Thatcher to an event. The long and short of it is that her broach is stolen by a street urchin. The young girl who stole it …
Chopped Television Show
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 …
That Girl: Nobody Here But Us Chickens
Season four of That Girl rolls on with Nobody Here But Us Chickens, which is the famous show when Ann Marie has to play a chicken. The first thing I noticed, though, is that horrible tie, or whatever it is, that Ted Bessell is wearing as Ann’s boyfriend, …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Man in an Hourglass TV Show
This review will cover the December 1962 show, Have Gun - Will Travel: Man in an Hourglass. It was the 12th episode of the western’s sixth season, and it does have some very interesting elements to it. As always, Richard Boone stars as Paladin, the sometimes poetic …
Hawaii Five-0: Pilot TV Show
Hawaii Five-0’s pilot episode from September 2010 is designed to introduce us to the new team. This is not a replica of the Jack Lord series; it’s a re-think. It’s very important to go into this series with an open mind. If you are determined to …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 3: The Unquiet Dead
