TV Reviews
Everybody Loves Raymond
I have liked the show Everybody Loves Raymond since the first day I saw it. Everybody Loves Raymond is a show created by Ray Romano. It’s a really funny show with a great plot line. I also think that Ray’s parents and Robert are very funny. The show is full …
Faerie Tale Theater: Rumpelstiltskin
We have been watching episodes of the 1980s series Faerie Tale Theater with our daughter. One of the episodes we watched was Rumpelstiltskin, a book I have read to my daughter but she didn’t remember.
The episode wasn’t too bad. You have Ned Beatty playing the king who insists that …
Gilligan’s Island - Music Hath Charm TV Show
This episode is just wonderful. I love everything about this show and really holds up to what I expect quality wise in the Gilligan’s Island shows. Every Castaway does an excellent job acting their parts, every one of them. So I am very pleased to watch this episode again. …
King of the Lost World
I have no idea why I decided to watch King of the Lost World on the Science Fiction channel last night, probably because there wasn’t much on. However, I have to say it was one of the stupidest movies I’ve ever seen.
When I watched King of the Lost World, …
Let’s Make a Deal Television Show
One of my favorite things that I used to love doing was watching the old television game shows on the Game Show Network. I loved watching everything from “Card Sharks” to “What’s My Line.” For me, the shows that come on today do not compare. They …
Laramie: The Fugitives TV show
From February 1963, Laramie: The Fugitives was an episode from the show’s fourth and final season. This series is my all time favorite and it really should have gone on longer. Ratings were good, so it’s confusing as to why it was cancelled.
The show opens with Slim …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Jack Benny TV Show
Jack Benny was the Man of the Week for this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Benny was a hoot, a terrific comedian and actor. I thought he was great and always enjoyed watching him. He was definitely worth being one of this show’s honorees.
It …

Family Guy
The television series known as Family Guy has proven itself to be one of the best cartoon series that is around today. Not taking anything away from the other cartoon series, but this one is more additive than so many others it is ridiculous. The characters of the Family …
Sea Hunt: The Missing Link TV Show
Episode 33 of season 3 for Sea Hunt was a show called The Missing Link which aired in August 1960. For me, this presented something different that didn’t go over well with me. This concerned the character of Mike Nelson, which is always competently portrayed by actor …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 22: F. Emasculata
This episode had a lot going for it. You had escaped convicts, a deadly virus, a government cover up, all the makings of a blockbuster mini-movie. Yet somehow, the whole was less than the sum of its parts.
I was going to nitpick the idea that …
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man is a powerful episode of this series. It’s a strong show take takes place in a futuristic society where there is no deity and the definition of being useful is totally up to the totalitarian society. The use of this kind …
The X-Files F. Emasculata Episode
I think that this is one of the grossest episodes of the popular 1990s television show “The X-Files” which I have watched. In fact, there is a huge possibility that this might actually be the nastiest I have ever watched as well, and the strangest thing about it too …
Kim Possible
Kim Possible. This is a funny TV show. The lines are brilliant for what it is. I have gotten more than a few good chuckles out of this show … until reruns got to the point of ‘ew, change the channel to the news’. Anyway, I think Will Friedle …
Stargate SG-1: Endgame
Stargate SG-1: Endgame has some fun moments in it for me and makes for a nice season eight episode of this long-running TV series. Among my favorite scenes:
–the opening, where the two technicians working the graveyard shift talk; it’s just so normal and weird at the same time; …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.2 - Lost Boys
While Corey Haim is busy promoting the 20th anniversary of the film that launched them to stardom, “The Lost Boys”, Feldman would rather concentrate on his wife’s photo shoot with Stuff Magazine. It’s a very messed up and embarrassing situation where Haim shows up alone at a radio interview …

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided TV show
I just adore Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided for several reasons. The first is that this is one of those shows where just about every regular has their moment. It’s not easy to do that in an ensemble show like this one, but it’s …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fossil Men TV Show
From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fossil Men was another monster show, and this one was among the most incredulous. The Seaview comes into contact with a rock man while submerged. They investigate by having Kowalski (Del Monroe) and a new man, …

In the second episode of the fourth season Ryan returns for the first time since he has been promoted to corporate and it is every bit as awkward as you might expect, but not quite as funny. Perhaps the humor of simple awareness has begun to grow stale on …

That 70s Show: Sunday, Bloody Sunday
I don’t watch That 70s Show all that often any more but did catch a re-run of it yesterday afternoon that was pretty darn funny; “Sunday, Bloody Sunday.”

Mr. Monk and the Leper
I am a huge fan of the television series Monk. However, Friday’s episode, Mr. Monk and the Leper was a bit of a disappointment.
While the show still kept most of it’s trademark comedy, the episode seemed to lack a lot of the mystery that has kept it a top …

Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-16-10 TV Show
Well, Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 16, 2010 began with yet another attempt by Alexis to be a fashion plate. How is she supposed to be relatable if she is trying to look like a Fashion Week model? This is especially hard when her hairdos …

Cow and Chicken
The television series “Cow and Chicken” was one of the most popular cartoons on the cable television channel Cartoon Network from the late 90s to the early 2000s. I can remember most of my friends liking it and having discussions about it even in high school. I didn’t like …
