Wagon Train: The Stark Bluff Story
Wagon Train: The Stark Bluff Story just didn’t do anything for me at all. This is an episode from season seven of Wagon Train. It was one of the ninety minute, color episodes. Scott Miller as Duke Shannon gets the brunt of the story, and frankly, …

The Virginian: The Decision TV Show
This sixth season episode of The Virginian which was called The Decision was one I enjoyed a lot. One of the reasons the March 1968 went over so well with me is that three of the guest stars are people who I feel a connection to in one …
The Bachelor Pad: Episode One TV Show
What on earth possessed me to watch the opening episode of The Bachelor Pad? I can’t believe I did it. It was an enormous waste of time. The thing is, I don’t even watch The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. I have seen maybe 3 full …
Fireball XL5: Space Pirates
Fireball XL5: Space Pirates tickles me pink. Anytime I see a group of puppets being used in a different plot device, it makes me smile. In this case, Gerry Anderson had the beautiful Venus, a space doctor, visiting the Jonathan Zero, Jr., the son of Commander Zero. …
Project Runway
Every year, Project Runway tries to find challenges to trip up even its best designers. And, having the contestants design ring attire for the Divas of Monday Night Raw was definitely an interesting twist.

Highway Patrol: Hostage Officer TV Show
The third season of the half hour police drama, Highway Patrol, continued on with its amazing 36th episode, entitled Hostage Officer. I do love the early days of television, in the fifties and sixties where TV seasons lasted this long, and even longer.
In the case of Hostage Officer from …
CSI Season 8, Episode 4
This has to be one of my top or favorite episodes of CSI ever because it really highlights the character of Greg. When I saw it, I also thought it felt like one of the older episodes of the show from the days before they started focusing on different …
So You Think You Can Dance: Top Six Perform Again TV Show

Hoarders tv show

Star Trek the Next Generation TV Episode: The Most Toys
I didn’t intend on watching another episode of Star Trek the Next Generation last night because it was getting a bit late and I had some other things that needed to be done before bed. But, I ended up watching the first few minutes of the episode The Most …
Royal Pains
I honestly believed that the absolute last thing this world needed was another doctor show. I have honestly always found doctor shows boring due to the fact that they are entirely set within hospitals which just do not provide an aesthetically pleasing view of scenery. I can’t stand watching …
Probe: Computer Logic
I’d actually forgotten about the Probe TV series until a friend sent me a DVD or two with the episodes on it. I did watch it and enjoy the show, brief as it was, when it aired originally. In the first episode, Computer Logic, we are introduced …

Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Touched By Evil
You know, I used to like watching Ghost Hunters. I even used to plan my evenings around each new episode. But, after watching yet another disappointing one last night, I am starting to wonder if maybe I should change my allegiance to another program.
I still like TAPS and its …
Nip/Tuck
“Nip/Tuck” is like no other medical drama that has ever been on television. It is clearly not a show that is “family-friendly,” since it deals with a lot of extremely raw adult themes. The show revolves around two successful plastic surgeons- Dr. Sean McNamara and Christian Troy, their …

Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Two—“ Compulsion
I already knew from the first episode that this show wasn’t like Law and Order or CSI. This show mostly focuses on the bad guy, and why they do what they do, not how they did it. Compulsion was an episode about an arsonist. I got to learn the …

The King Of Queens is yet another of my favorite TV shows.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, manga TV series
Originally published as a manga in 1987, Hirohiko Araki’s Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure quickly rose to fame as one of the best-selling manga series of all time. Shockingly enough, a proper anime series adaptation for the show wouldn’t arrive until 2012, 25 years after its initial creation. Being adapted so …
The Drew Carey Show TV show

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Predators TV Show
The eighth show of the sixth and final season of Have Gun - Will Travel was called The Predators. Produced by Robert Sparks, we once again forego any San Francisco scene. This horrible decision must be Sparks’. I lament the lack of the opening lighthearted teaser …
Fame: Reunions
Fame: Reunions begins with a really fun dance class segment where the group is dancing to an African beat and then the comic, Danny Amatullo (Carlo Imperato) slips and practically knocks down the entire class. I liked this opening bit quite a lot.

Kim Kardashian on Dancing With the Stars
Ok. I’m a sucker. I watch anything with Kim Kardashian on it. I think she’s perfect for the show; you can tell that she has no dance experience. I hope she is kept on the show by viewers so we can see how much she has improved. I think …
Rosie Live
“Rosie Live” was an attempt in November 2008 by NBC to revive the musical. Unfortunately, they never gave it a real chance to succeed.
The show starred Rosie O’Donnell. Now, I’m a little mixed on Rosie. I liked her in the early years of her talk show. …

This could have really been a quite good episode of Sliders. It has a somewhat interesting take on some of the problems that face our own world (the idea of diminishing resources), a chance for our four homesick Sliders to finally make their way home as well as …
M*A*S*H: Carry On, Hawkeye
M*A*S*H: Carry On, Hawkeye is one of my all time favorite shows of this medical comedy series. Back before the days of VCRs, I actually recorded it onto a cassette tape and listened to it often. In the show, one by one the entire camp comes down …
TV Episode for Monk: Mr. Monk and the Earthquake
I was flipping channels last night waiting for my wife’s show, Project Runway, to come on. And, I ended up coming across a re-run of the show Monk; Mr. Monk and the Earthquake. Since there wasn’t anything better that I could find (despite paying for 250 channels), I ended …

Old Mother Hubbard cartoon
Recently I watched a vintage Old Mother Hubbard cartoon. This was a U.B. Iwerks product, which means it was done by a respected animator of the era. I actually remember as a young child watching Old Mother Hubbard cartoons on weekends. They were cute.
This golden era …
