The Fugitive: Man in a Chariot
The second season of The Fugitive began with a show entitled Man in a Chariot. It’s a powerful show that guest starred Ed Begley as a law professor with a huge chip on his shoulder, stemming from an accident that has left him in a wheelchair. Begley …
MXC TV show
This is a unique show on Spike. It’s actually a Japanese game show that relies on strange physical challenges and obstacle courses. While this might be entertaining in its own right, the true entertainment value of the show comes from its dubbing. They’ve thrown out any …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Caravan TV Show
From February 1963, Have Gun - Will Travel: Caravan is the 24th outing of this western’s sixth and final season on television. It’s a combination of action, drama, and romance, all crushed into a thirty minute format. The long and short of it is that Paladin hires …

Wagon Train - The Color Season DVD Set
Recently, I acquired Wagon Train - The Color Season DVD set. This set contains every color episode of Wagon Train, which was essentially the 1963-64 TV series. All shows were ninety minutes long. This was the year that Robert Fuller joined the cast after a four-year …
Due South: Mountie Sings the Blues
This show had the potential to lead to a really funny and good subplot, and while it’s great here, they really don’t do anything with it. In Due South: Mountie Sings the Blues, Constable Turnbull is in deep like with Francesca and acts on it. It’s very …
Lost in Austen (TV Series, 2008)
I missed this when it was first televised, and was only half interested - it looked like yet another adaption of Pride & Prejudice, and to me you still can’t better the 1995 BBC series.
But then I noted that it had a twist. And it’s a great premise. Amanda …
Arrested Development TV Show
I really like the television show arrested development. The show is now in its 3rd season and each season has been absolutly hilarious. the story of the show is that a father gets sent to prison, and his son is trying to take care of his family while his …
MacGyver: The Assassin
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 …
Project Runway Season Premiere
Well, my wife should be happy now, Project Runway is once again on TV and, since she no longer works, she can tune in Thursday nights.
The season premiere, which was tonight, wasn’t too bad. I do think they are running out of unique challenges and have to question the …
MacGyver: Soft Touch
Teri Hatcher makes her second appearance on MacGyver in this episode called Soft Touch. While men may be beguiled by the smiling Penny Parker, she still just frustrates me. She’s a ditz, and I can’t stand how her ineptitude continues to get Mac into all kinds of …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 26
In this episode, it continues from the previous episode where the rogue vampire seduces Karl to kill and she escapes. Drew gets help just in time, but things don’t look to good for Dillon. Murdoch locks Karl in the cage, but he doesn’t care because he has no remorse …
Fireball XL5: The Robot Freighter Mystery
Of the 39 episodes filmed of this children’s show, The Robot Freighter Mystery is one of the few that I don’t react to with lots of love. Fireball XL5 is just awesome as a series. Some of the stories have been very dramatic and realistic in their …
Rock Docs (”NWA”)
When I saw the title of this show on VH1, I was really surprised because I thought it was about something completely different. But nevertheless, it was a special completely dedicated to gangster rap in Los Angeles. The feature was about NWA and their impact on America …
Centennial: The Massacre
Centennial: The Massacre is one of the most difficult episodes of this epic mini-series to watch. It’s top notch drama and stands up to the ongoing quality and expectations of this series, which is based on the novel by James Michener. That said, it’s hard to watch …
The Twilight Zone: Static TV Show
Dean Jagger is the power behind The Twilight Zone: Static. He’s an older gentleman, living in a boarding house where his old girlfriend and other old friends live. He becomes disenchanted with television and the tripe he perceives the movies, shows, and commercials to be. That …
Beauty and the Beast TV show
As a person whose a big fan of police dramas and classic love stories, I was skeptical about this show at first; though I decided that it wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot since Kristin Kreuk stars in it. Figured since she was a pretty good actress in …
Due South: Chicago Holiday: Part 1
Due South: Chicago Holiday: Part 1 was the first of three somewhat strange episodes of this series in my opinion. This two-parter probably has enough dialog for a solid thirty-minute show. What is included instead is a lot of music, and odd music at that, while the …
Adam-12: Backup 1-L20
There’s some internal turmoil for Adam-12 when their watch commander is accused of hitting a man with his vehicle in Backup 1-L20. To make it worse, there are spectators who claim that Sergeant MacDonald was careless and speeding.
William Boyett is a regular on Adam-12 and sometimes he’s just …
Friends Episode: The One When Ross Moves In
Friends Episode: The One When Ross Moves In is one of the not so bad episodes in Friends. Ross can be quite irritating when he wants to and that sort of disgust Joey and Chandler. Therefore, Ross knowing that he is irritating and getting on the nerves of …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Magnus Beam TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Magnus Beam is the 11th outing of the first year of this very intriguing science fiction show that revolves around the nuclear submarine, Seaview, and its crew, headed by Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane, as played by Richard Basehart and David …
Running Wilde: Pilot TV Show
I watched the pilot for Running Wilde just to say that I’m giving some of the new comedies a chance. I really don’t like today’s sitcoms. They are rude and crude and so off color that they make me cringe. I’m much more into the traditional …
Highway Patrol: Hostage Family Copter TV Show
The sixth entry for the third season of Highway Patrol, which stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, was called Hostage Family Copter. Yes, it’s another show that features the helicopter. This crime drama loved showcasing this mode of transportation, which as we all know today can …

Wanda pays a visit to Cheryl and Larry with some shocking news; a terrorist attack is about to go down in Los Angeles—¦at least according to a friend of a friend with a CIA contact.

Star Trek: The Original Series - Season One Remastered
When it was first announced that the original Star Trek was going to be treated to a special effects update, I was excited. Sure, I liked the show for its characters, stories, and music, but the special effects play an important role, too. To me, the special effects can …
M*A*S*H: Nurse Doctor
M*A*S*H: Nurse Doctor has an interesting plot which is intriguing for a couple of different reasons.
First, Alexandra Stoddart guest starred as Lt. Gail Harris, a nurse stationed at the 4077th for the last part of her Army duty. She’s headstrong and thinks just about everyone is against her …
Good Day Xtra news show
I am usually an avid watcher of Fox Five news. But now they have a new show called Good Day Xtra. I was surprised to see that this show, which is on from 9am to 10am, features some of the anchors from the regular news program. …
Super girl, Survivors, season 2, episode 4, TV Show
I have never thought I would write a review on a TV show Supergirl because it used to be a show I was watching just because I like superhero TV shows and movies but it never made me feel strong about it or about any issues that it was dealing …
The Jeffersons (TV sitcom)
Enter the stage another grumpy middle-aged businessman: George Jefferson. Sherman Hemsley perfected the role that made him famous. His business tycoon mentality and “buck the system” attitude made him a success. This success is described in the song accompanying the opening credits. …
Remington Steele: In the Steele of the Night TV Show
I consider Remington Steele: In the Steele of the Night to be a miniaturized version of Murder By Death. We have Laura Holt and Murphy Michaels headed to an old friend’s lavish estate for a reunion. These folks apparently all used to work together at the same …
The League of Gentlemen - Series Two
The show that brought us stranger phobic Tubbs and Edward, pen loving Pauline and the germ hating Dentons is back, and goes from strength to strength.
With the thread of the new road gone, Tubbs and Edwards can go about slaughtering passers by with one less thing on their …
Candid Camera television show
A couple of years ago when we first had gotten cable television, I my parents had introduced me to an old American prank television show called “Candid Camera”. I thought that the concept of it was a bit strange since at the time I did not know that there …
Ghost Hunters: Wright Patterson Airforce Base
Well, it’s not everyday you get to see ghost hunters invited to a military base by the US military. But, that’s exactly what happened in this season four episode and it was somewhat interesting.
The ghost hunt itself was a bit boring. They had the one scene where they supposedly …
Seinfeld
I just love watching Seinfeld reruns. I really wish that I had watched the show when it was airing, because I have become such a huge fan. Jerry Seinfeld is hilarious, and I love his interactions with his good friends, Kramer, Elaine and George. How funny can this show …
M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth
I have to admit I really get a kick out of M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth from season seven. It’s a show that focuses on humor via some practical jokes. Unlike some other episodes which have had prankster storylines that were over-the-job and almost boring, this …
Trigun Episode 5
Trigun Episode 5 begins with a group of thugs attacking a bar in Inepril City where Vash the Stampede is eating. He gets out of the situation only to have the entire town come after him in hopes of getting the $$60,000,000,00.00 reward for his capture. Meryl …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Puppet Show
OK, wooden puppets are a bit creepy and after the movie Child’s Play, any doll that can talk makes me a bit nervous. So, I liked the concept behind the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “The Puppet Show.”
The school puts on a talent show and Buffy and her friends …
Friends Episode: Halloween
I love Friends Episode: Halloween very much. In fact, this is one of my most favorite episodes ever. It is not about the celebration or the significance of it, because I respect all religion and their traditions, but it’s just that yet again, the beloved Friends make a …
Stargate SG-1: Sight Unseen
What I like about Stargate SG-1: Sight Unseen is Jack out and about in Colorado Springs. Okay, it’s Vancouver, but he’s out there in his truck, driving around, getting gas, and shooting at things that aren’t really there. Best part of the show.
Second best part of Stargate …
The Cleaner: Lie With Me
The Cleaner: Lie With Me is the season ender for year one, and frankly, I just don’t get it. I was ultra disappointed in this show. It’s all about the Banks family and how it suddenly spirals downward. All season long, the story has been about …
Make Me a Super Model (Episode 5)
This was an interesting challenge this week because the show focused solely on the runway and had the contestants perform in an actual runway show in front of a live audience of thousands.
Ben, who has struggled throughout the entire competition during runways, actually won this week. But, none of …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: One Krab’s Trash
Since my youngest daughter has yet to learn to sleep in on the weekends (her older sister and cat have that problem too), I ended up watching some TV with her this morning and ultimately settled for watching Spongebob Squarepants.
The first episode that was on TV this morning was …
M*A*S*H: Comrades in Arms: Part 2
M*A*S*H: Comrades in Arms: Part 2 continues the story begun the week before when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) finally consummated their love-hate relationship amid being shot at away from the 4077th. It’s actually a pretty believable aftermath to everything that had transpired between …
Music Lounge Late Night Music Video Show
Now there used to be a time when I stayed up way past what is generally perceived to be normal bed time, even for fully grown man such as myself, just to watch quality music videos well into the early hours of the next morning. Sadly though, those days …
America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 Episode 12
Three girls survived the thousands of those who auditioned. Anya, Fatima and Whitney. Tyra Mail reads, ” Here are your lines. You’ve got some extra time. So don’t make me put you on blast!” The three girls had a Cover Girl commercial shoot. Saliesha from the previous cycle …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 10
Cowboy Bebop Episode 11 involves the crew of the Bebop landing on Ganymede, Jet’s home planet in order to collect a bounty. Jet goes to visit his ex-girlfriend Alisa, while Spike pursues a bounty on a man named Rhint Celonias.
This episode was really interesting because it didn’t center …
M*A*S*H: Back Pay
M*A*S*H: Back Pay focuses on Hawkeye Pierce’s (Alan Alda) quest to get paid for his services. He begins by preparing an itemized bill and then sends the charges to the government. It is a pretty funny bit, but the problem is that it really wasn’t a half-hour’s …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 6
Its halloween and the case fits this very occasion. Shirley Schimdt and Denise Bauer are representing Christians and Wiccans who are outraged by the public school’s celebration on halloween.
