The eighth episode of Richard Dean Anderson’s Legend TV series is called Bone of Contention, and apparently Pratt (Anderson) does sometimes get the girl, since that’s how the show opens. Actually, it’s a nice bit where Pratt is visualizing the climax of one of his novels. This …

What I first noticed about this episode is how completely the producer and screen writer can thoroughly turn people’s lives upside down, and they do a good job of it here. There is a whole lot of uncertainty throughout the show, uncertainty that causes other problems even the break …

Unlike many Americans, I’m not obsessed with television. At least not to the point where I will plan my life around it; with the exception of Green Bay Packers games.
This week, I discovered a mini-series that actually has me clearing my schedule.
When I saw the previews for the Sci …

What I liked about this episode: The thing …

Rod Serling introduced this episode of Night Gallery by saying that he was considered to be the Howard Cosell of the crypt. That was an odd start, but it makes sense, in an odd way. Then we get to the evening’s entertainment, a half hour vehicle written …

This is a brand new summer television show that just premiered last Sunday. It’s another show about vampires, however there are a lot of vampire shows out right now. So I am a bit concerned about the success of this show. I’m not too sure how well it’s going …

The first episode of the second series of Beast Wars is technically the fourth part in a six parter. This episode picks up directly where the second part of “Other Voices” left off and deals with the aftermath of that episode’s events. First of all, it is obvious that …

With the success of Ice Road Truckers, it makes sense that there would be a spin off of some sort sooner or later. Apparently, now is the time. Debuting right after the season finale of Ice Road Truckers, IRT Deadliest Roads: Freefall Freeway includes my favorite, Lisa …

What better way to get in the holiday spirit than a classic episode of That 70s Show; “It’s a Wonderful Life?”
Ok, so this isn’t really a holiday episode; it just follows a similar tale to the classic movie. Eric, depressed over his break up with Donna, wishes he had …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Village of Guilt, episode eight of the series, was directed by Irwin Allen, who created the series. It begins with a giant octopus surfacing in Norway, which results in a couple of deaths. Following are some of my thoughts …

The Time Machine is the eight episode of the Upright Citizens Brigade’s first season, and this is an episode that really highlights some of the best aspects of the show. Unique ideas drawn to absurdity (for example the whole “hole in the sheet” thing), hilarious sketches and all …

I don’t like it, and I’ll say that up front. MacGyver: Jack of Lies is the first appearance of the Jack Dalton character. This guy is the same kind of character that Tom Selleck dealt with on Magnum P.I., the annoying chum that he can’t help but …

Season one of Project Runway was the beginning to a captivating reality series for fashion lovers throughout America. It paved the way for more seasons and spin off Project Runway shows in other countries.
In this episode, we’re introduced to the twelve finalists who will be competing for the one …

The Sopranos is a “compelling” TV Show. I think compelling is the best word. Even though some scenes are controversial or you see the evil side of many of the main characters, for some reason the show compels you to keep watching. HBO has less strict regulations than cable …

If you like celebrity gossip, you have probably seen the TMZ television show which comes on Fox TV. If you have even perused the website TMZ.com once, you’ll understand that this show focuses heavily on celeb dirt. I like the format, in which the viewers …

I watched this episode of George Lopez. There is this huge loser that works at the same place where George works, and he is interested in Carmin, George’s daughter. In front of George, Loser expresses interest in Carmin, and she shoots him down, saying she has a …

Tales of the Gold Monkey, the pilot, Part 2 concludes the pilot, which surprised me by holding my interest.
As Jake Cutter, Stephen Collins has the right amount of swagger, heart, and courage. I love his relationship with his dog, Jack, and the blooming emotions he’s getting with Sarah …

Finally, a season six show worth watching. It’s one of three. Stargate SG-1: Abyss is the return of Daniel Jackson, sort of. Now Ascended, Daniel shows up to help Jack, who has been implanted with a Tok’ra symbiote. The symbiote took Jack by force to attempt …

It really is hard to be all that excited by the April 1964 The Andy Griffith Show: The Rumor because we’ve been there and done that. There are countless episodes where Barney overreacts to seeing Barney with a girlfriend and then jumps to the conclusion that they are …

I haven’t seen the Simpson’s episode “Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington” until tonight. And, I think it was fantastic.
Some of the later Simpsons episodes have been kind of terrible. But, this one was actually pretty good. It reminded me of what made the show great to begin with.
In the …

“Split Decision” was a pretty good episode, however, I found it hard to keep up with. Maybe I’m just a little on the dumb side and have to have everything spelled out for me, but somehow I got lost and could not figure out how the ending occurred.
Now …

Popular singer Josh Groban was the featured performer on this rendition of the PBS series Soundstage. It’s a great showcasing of talent in a much more intimate setting than we often get to see. Actually, this is something Groban addresses after his opening song. It’s a …

Stalemate is another good episode of the 1970 drama, The Young Rebels, which starred a magnificent young cast which included Rick Ely, Louis Gossett Jr., and Phillippe Forquet. Hilary Thompson is also on board, playing Ely’s girlfriend on the show.
I enjoy this show because it’s a theme that, …

The Ninja Warrior competition takes place in Japan, where one hundred would-be ninjas (average, everyday people, in fact) arrive at Mt. Midoriyama to compete for the title. Japanese viewers have been tuning in to these taped specials for a decade now.
Here in the United States, we have a slightly-altered …

MacGyver: The Human Factor is one of my favorite episodes of the dramatic series, which stars Richard Dean Anderson as the inventive and creative agent. This is the first episode of the second season and added to the regular cast is Dana Elcar as Pete Thornton. Pete …

This was the second episode of Don’t Stop Believing, a British TV series that pits singing and dancing groups against one another. In each episode, six teams compete. One is voted in by the viewers and then one other is given the wildcard by the judges.
My limitation …

SG-1 finds a spacecraft stranded on a planet. They agree to help the people who claim to own it get the ship up and running again. Essentially, the team …

For all intents and purposes, M*A*S*H: Hawkeye is a one-man soliloquy as Hawkeye Pierce, traveling alone in a jeep, swerves to avoid hitting some Korean children and ends up turning over the vehicle and getting a bad hit in the head. Realizing that he might have a concussion …

Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere is one of 39 episodes of this supermarionation puppet series from Gerry Anderson. What I enjoy is that the puppets really do have some great personalities. They’re pretty well rounded, all things considered.
In this show, there’s a neat scene where Professor Matt Matic …

Band of Brothers Episode 8 The Last Patrol has Easy Company in Haguenau and David Webster rejoins Easy Company and is shut out by his friends because he wasn’t there in Bastogne.
This is a good episode, not as intense as episode 7 but it’s still very good, and it’s …

Supersize Me is an interesting documentary if you can catch it on TV. It brings a lot of things to light about how McDonald’s made getting junk food easy and helped create a nation of obese people. Not sayinng everyone’s obese, but you know what I mean.
This guy ate …

Rick Berman talks quite a bit in Trials and Tribble-ations An Historic Endeavor featurette, which talks about the making of the Star Trek: Deep Space 9 episode called Trials and Tribble-ations. This was a show to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the franchise, taking the DS9 folks back …

Well, they didn’t find a whole lot but I have to say the Ghost Hunters investigation into the Stanley Hotel (which inspired the book/movie The Shining) turned out to be one of the better episodes.
The evidence captured on film was a bit on the short side. But, I will …

I really like the TV show Malcom in the middle. I have always enjoy this show ever since the first day I saw it. I remember in the old days when I used to watch this show on Sunday night. It’s a very good show and I think it’s very …

The Defenders: Nevada v. Carter had its moments, of good and bad. It’s actually disappointing to me because of how I feel this show could be. In fact, if this show would just be court scenes, it would be great. However, it’s not, and I really …

One of the notable things about Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth is that we actually hear an alien language being spoken. Most of the time the aliens have been speaking English. Of course, that’s standard practice for science fiction series, but that is precisely why it sticks out …

Midway through its first season, The Fall Guy presented a two part episode which turned out to be the best of the season to that point. License to Kill: Part 1 was the most intriguing episode, the first one that all these years later, I really wanted to …
