Seven days season 3 Episode 5 Olga’s Excellent Vacation
I like the title of this episode because it is actually ironic because Olga’s vacation really turned out not to be that excellent at all.
Seven days is a sci-fi show about an American project that takes place in Area 51 and which uses alien’s equipment to send a man …
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 …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fight at Adobe Wells TV show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fight at Adobe Wells wasn’t one of my favorite outings for this particular western show. The half-hour didn’t flow for me. In many ways, it just felt like another story with nothing special in it to even make it memorable.
Richard Boone’s Paladin …
Big Brother 10
My wife and I have watched the CBS reality television show Big Brother since it started up in the summer of 2000. Since then, CBS has aired it every summer, usuallys starting in July. Because of the recent writers’ strike, CBS aired it this spring and also …

Outlander (romance drama television series)
With all the hype surrounding the premiere of the television series Outlander, I honestly thought that it would have been something that I might enjoy. This was especially after I discovered that it would be set between post World War II and that the plot would contain elements of time …
The Twilight Zone: Death Ship TV Show
I like watching The Twilight Zone: Death Ship, though it’s not a favorite. Still, with Jack Klugman and Ross Martin in the leads, it’s good stuff. It’s also another intriguing plot surrounding death that is thought provoking, though not in terms of relaying a message, but rather, …

The Spongebob Christmas Special
OK, now Christmas season must be here. My daughter and I just finished watching the Spongebob Christmas Special for about the 50th time since it first came out in 2000.
The episode is actually quite funny so it is definitely worth watching. Bikini Bottom learns about Christmas for the very …
Laramie: Dark Verdict
When I watch Laramie: Dark Verdict, I can’t help but think about actor L.Q. Jones, who plays a friend of Jess Harper’s. At one point, his character is about to be hung. The reason I remember this is because I have some photo proofs that were taken …

Sam is upto something mysterious, while Dean is sent back to the time is dad was dating his mom. It turns out that the yellow eyed demon starts selecting kids from that time. Dean gets to meet his mom’s parents. It turns out his grandfather was a hunter too. …
Saving Grace
Think “Touched by an Angel” and an even edgier “NYPD Blue” - and you’ve sort of got the idea. I’ve always been a Holly Hunter fan - so I was happy to see her in primetime (TNT).
I could have done without the …

Laramie: The Legend of Lily
Laramie: The Legend of Lily is an episode that focuses a lot on Jonesy, played with style by Hoagy Carmichael. Jonesy is completely star struck by Lily Langtree, who is coming to town to give a performance.
Constance Moore guest stars as Lily. She brings a refined grace …
Super Mario World - The Night Before Cave Christmas
Super Mario World - “The Night Before Cave Christmas” is not quite as memorable or entertaining as the other “holiday themed” episode, namely “Ghosts ‘R’ Us”, but I do like this episode because it is one of the few times in this episode that we actually get to see …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 7

Desperate Housewives TV show
Desperate Housewives is a show that started with tremendous promise. Marc Cherry’s brainchild had everything that an audience could possibly want, love, sex, hilarious antics, and a good old fashioned murder mystery. Add a collection of a talented veteran actresses to boot and you have yourself a recipe for …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Emissary TV Show

M*A*S*H: Fallen Idol
M*A*S*H: Fallen Idol is an awesome, incredible episode, and that shouldn’t be a surprise since it was written and directed by Alan Alda.
There is a problem with the setup, though. Not all that long ago, there was a beautiful moment between Hawkeye Pierce (Alda) and Radar O’Reilly (Gary …
Green Acres: Parity Begins at Home
I’m home early today and I’m watching an episode of Green Acres “Parity Begins at Home.”

Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 2 TV Show
After watching the premier of the tenth season of Australia’s Dancing with the Stars last week, I decided to tune in again. I really enjoyed what I saw, especially with the music and outfits, so wanted to check it out again.
Here are my observations, good and bad, and …
The Simpsons: Mobile Homer
I only tuned into to the Simpsons episode Mobile Homer about 10 minutes into it so I didn’t get a chance to see the very beginning. But, I have to admit, this episode ended up being pretty funny.
From what I can tell, Homer decided to buy a mobile home …
ANTM Saleisha
If you watch America’s Next Top Model, you’ll understand how addictive this show really is. This cycle’s winner, Saleisha Stowers has invoked a lot of controversy with her recent win. She’s one of the shows more “natural” looking models. But because she participated in Tyra’s T-Zone …
Emperor’s New School: Demon Llama
I got home from work last night and the first thing my daughter wanted me to do was sit down with her and watch an episode of Emperor’s New School she had seen earlier that day; “Demon Llama.” And, I have to say it was definitely a very funny …
Emergency!
Emergency! is an astounding, groundbreaking TV series that aired on NBC beginning in 1972. The show’s star was Robert Fuller. Now this is offbeat casting, but that’s how Jack Webb wanted. Webb loved to go for things that were different and having cowboy veteran performer Fuller …
The Simpsons: That 90s Show
Of all the things I’ve seen Marge and Homer’s marriage have to survive in the almost two decades worth of Simpsons episodes, I never realized he almost lost her to a college professor; something that is revealed in the episode entitled “That 90s Show.”
The great thing about this episode …
Ghost Hunters: American Legion
Last night’s Ghost Hunters episode was OK but not one of the greatest ones. They investigated an American Legion building in Pennsylvania (a short distance from where my wife was born).
It was one of those cases that could go either way. A lot of personal experiences that weren’t captured …
How I Met Your Mother
I finished watching the first season of this series, and I had to just write a review about this amazing series. The cast consists of 5 main characters.Ted, Barney, Lily, Marshal and Robin. Though all of them, except for Barney(Neil Patrick Harris) and Lily(Alyson Hannigan) are relatively new, they …
Sea Hunt: Blind Spot TV Show
The third season of the underwater adventure series Sea Hunt presented its twenty-fifth outing with a show entitled Blind Spot. The name comes from something which happens to the lead character, Mike Nelson, fairly early in the half hour.
Unfortunately, this June 1960 episode, is another one that has …
MASH -Season 1
Season one of MASH was and OK season by the standards of the show. The first episodes, starting with the Pilot attempted to keep the characters similar to what was in the movie but, by the end of the first season, many of the extra characters (like Ugly John) …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The High Graders
I really enjoyed Have Gun - Will Travel: The High Graders, especially the opening which had Paladin (Richard Boone) being measured for a new suit. It’s the dichotomy between this civilized, wealthy, society persona of San Francisco’s paladin and the gunfighter for hire who wears a black trail …
Adam 12 - Log 81
The running theme to this episode of Adam-12 is officer presence and what exactly that means. It begins with the shift briefing and a discussion of officer safety. As Reed and Malloy talk about while on patrol, Malloy explains to his rookie partner that “It’s how you …
Dancing with the Stars - Results 5/5/09
The results shows for Dancing with the Stars always have a lot of stuff in it that is unrelated to the actual competition itself. This show had a performance by Jamie Collum that was somewhat entertaining. There was also a really neat dance routine, but I didn’t …
That Girl: The Collaborators
In That Girl: The Collaborators, Ann and Don are simply relaxing as the story opens, talking about his latest article, which Ann is raving about. She’s certain her boyfriend could write anything at all, if he wanted to. The only bad thing about her comments is that …
Voyagers!: Merry Christmas, Bogg
Honestly, I’d forgotten just how much Meeno Peluce cried during the Voyagers! series. He could compete with Doris Day, June Allyson, and Margaret O’Brien for being able to turn those tears on and off. It’s amazing. However, it’s not the best crier. He’s just able to …
Corner Gas TV Show
Corner Gas is a Canadian show usually seen on the Comedy Network. It’s set in Dog River, a small town in the prairies, and is about some people at a gas station and a diner.
It’s pretty funny, full of Canadian references and mostly making fun of the characters …
That Girl: Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman
Season two of That Girl begins with one of my favorite episodes for the entire series. It’s called Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman and obviously guest stars the wonderful Ethel Merman.
First, though, it’s appropriate to mention the new opening for the show. It’s actually much more sophisticated …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 16 - Disguises
Emerald Point N.A.S. is an ensemble series and there are some pieces of that ensemble that I like better than others. Glenn Matthews is a wimp of a character, and I’m so sick of him; in fact, I wish he wasn’t part of that ensemble. As portrayed …
The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences TV Show
For me, The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences is simply a grating and annoying experience, much like the main character the story surrounds. John McGiver does a nice job as Roswell G. Flemington, a man who loves noise and doesn’t care that he’s perceived as being obnoxious by …
House: Joy
I’m not so sure about the cases Dr. House has been getting on the show House lately; they just don’t seem to stand out any more. But, I have to say the episode “Joy” really got me thinking and left me a bit depressed.
We found out last week that …
Ghost Hunters Season 3, Part 2 DVD
Ghost Hunters is one of my favorite shows on television, and I gladly grab the different sets when they are released. That said, there are a few major problems with this set.
1-The transfer onto DVD isn’t the best. It actually looks worse here than it does on television, …
The Simpsons TV Episode: The Principal and the Pauper
Last night, I ended up waiting for a re-run of the Simpsons to come on TV (like I do most evenings) and was a bit disappointed it was one I had seen a couple times before; The Principal and the Pauper. However, after watching it again, I did realize …

Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Hot Sauce TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Hot Sauce was another good outing, even though it wasn’t totally my style. The thing is that I really like watching Lucinda. She appears just like any common, everyday woman. Her kitchen set isn’t pretentious. Yes, it has all …
