This is one of the confusing episodes in Criminal Intent history because the story tends to jump around quite a bit and involves a number of different characters, some of whom only appear for a few minutes. The episode opens on a reporter who is being yelled at over …

Larry and Cheryl reluctantly attend a dinner party of a casual acquaintance of Larry’s; Gil, a former porno star.

Rizzoli and Isles has been TNT’s new summer series, paired up in its short, ten episode first season with The Closer, networks old and steady earner and viewership-provider. With such a demanding partner, an established procedural, the new show was almost bound to fall short: Kyra Sedgewick won an …

“American Idol” is a popular American reality television series which has been broadcast on Fox. The viewership was great since it premiered on television in 2002 and it has helped to jump start the careers of a few of America’s most famous singers and rock bands, as well as …

Family Guy’s 11th season had so many hits and misses, that it was almost painful to see. Strangely, when I saw the title of the 9th episode, Space Cadet, I honestly thought it was going to be about Chris dressing up in a spacesuit and asking Miss Lockheart out …

What can I say about Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Best of Enemies? Not much that is good, that’s for sure. This adventure series continues to be sub-par. Star Bruce Boxleitner didn’t have enough sparkle to keep the show dazzling along, and the co-stars were almost …

MacGyver: Back from the Dead brings back a character from season two — Jimmy Kendall. At that point, Jimmy had turned on some mobsters and testified against them. For his protection, he was given a new identity and moved to Florida, where Mac got him a job …

Fearful Symmetry is the rather bland fourth episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. The episode stars Supergirl, which is normally a good thing. However, the episode is light on action and the plot is not all that interesting.
I did enjoy that the writers stuck Supergirl with …

Synopsis: The SVU detectives have to prove a cop is responsible for a rape/murder of a pharmaceutical lab assistant.
What I liked about this episode: I think one of the cool things about this episode is how it manages to jerk you in a number of different directions with a …

Surviving Sharks is a show on the Discovery Channel in which a host does tests with sharks to determine how best to avoid being attacked or eaten by a shark when swimming or surfing. It started with tests to determine whether different types of sharks were more active feeders …

Enlightened is a wonderful new show that I have discovered lately. It is like nothing I have ever seen before on TV. The show tells the story of a woman who is trying to come back to work in a corporate environment after a nervous breakdown. After coming back …

Just when we thought the evil John Bly was gone, he’s back in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Bye Bly. Big time groan. As played by Billy Drago, he just is one weird looking bad guy. However, this is the show that gives us a …

I can tell you exactly how you can tell when a show has jumped the shark and it might be time to put it out of its misery; when you watch a brand new episode and you feel you’ve seen it before.
The Law & Order SVU episode “Hothouse” is …

This is one of my favorite episodes of the series. It introduces this show’s incarnation of Aquaman, who is awesome. I know, you think that there’s no way that Aquaman can be anything other than lame, but this episode proves that theory wrong.
While his over …

Manhunter is the ultimate in survival and evading capture. Two contestants start out by sending off a flair into the sky, about 3 Kilometers from Manhunter, a trained scout and accomplished horseman. On horseback, Manhunter and his local guide, who knows the area well, only know that …

From year three in October 1962, The Andy Griffith Show: The Cow Thief has Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) and his deputy, Barney Fife (Don Knotts), trying to solve, of all things, the theft of cows. Things are complicated, however, when Mayor Stoner (Parley Baer) calls in the …

The fifth season of Roseanne was one of the last really great seasons of the show. It was before things got too wacky and the show was still grounded in reality a little bit. I thought the only unrealistic thing was when Roseanne, Jackie, and Nancy opened a restaurant …

The seventh episode is a season highlight and is quite amusing in many ways. Haim basically corners Feldman into a place that he doesn’t want to be and Feldman has no choice but to go along with it or else he’s royally screwed - and it would all be …

My mother told me about this show and suggested that I watch it. The concept of a woman giving birth to sextuplets is fascinating in and of itself. Giving birth to more than four babies at once is fascinating. But this show takes things …

If the previous episodes of the newest True Blood season have been uneven, the latest, 3.4 “Nine Crimes” is quite simply disappointing. I can’t say if this is due to source material or simply creative difficulties on the writers’ part, but the pacing is all over the place, the …

Season Two starts with the second part of the Fisher King. The team is unaware of Elle being shot and are still trying to find out the identity of the unsub. Reid and Garcia figure it out from all the clues and Reid realizes the unsub got his …

This is the interesting story of the microraptor: one very strange dinosaur. In fact, this must be the world’s strangest dinosaur ever! This dinosaur actually had wings on both its front and back legs! When I read that on the DVD box, I couldn’t believe it as that just …

Well, last night’s episode of Bones, The Dwarf in the Park, wasn’t too bad. Basically, they found the bones of a midget wrestler under a city street (after a sink hole formed, scary) and, while investigating, found a list of possible suspects in his murder; ranging from his replacement …

This futuristic story that aired originally in January 1992 was called The Ray Bradbury Theater: Zero Hour. Overall, I thought it was a story that began with a lot of potential but then took a wrong turn and ended up a bit sour, at least for me. …

In The Beast: Tilt, we finally get some answers about a piece of Charles Barker’s past, and it’s about time. I can take being teased only for so long. Before that happens, though, we’re treated to poker, Texas Hold ‘Em to be precise. It seems a …

Diagnosis Murder: Guardian Angel from season one has Dr. Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) and Norman Briggs (Michael Tucci), the hospital administrator, attending a major fundraiser for Mayor Ridgeway, who hopes to be governor. Upon arrival, the man’s wife recognizes someone she clearly doesn’t want to see, so …

Typically, any “Justice league Unlimited” episode has one character it focuses on. This episode it was The Atom, and that part of the episode was OK, but not great. The Atom can change his size. Not much else, and his personality isn’t that great either, which might by why …

I like seeing Roddy McDowall getting some meat to his part and that’s exactly what happens in Tales of the Gold Monkey: Last Chance Louie. McDowall was a great actor, and while he loved to act and took on all kinds of roles that some might question, he …

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see the show from last week. I really love watching this Australian version of Dancing with the Stars, even though I don’t know the celebrities. With the music, costumes, and setup of this series, it’s been fun to catch. I just …

From November 1957, Highway Patrol: The Sniper was the 7th episode of the third season. This half hour police drama stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews. In this show, Mathews and the California Highway Patrol deal with a sniper shooting at various cars as they pass by. …

Season ten of Stargate SG-1 plods forward with an episode called Company of Thieves. About the best moment here is when Daniel is in control of the Odyssey. Of course, he’s flown the Prometheus and various Goa’uld vessels, so commanding the Odyssey should be a piece of …

I like the show Invisibleman because it is about a man who can turn invisible, and who wouldn’t like to be able to turn invisible sometimes, imagine what you could do when invisible. Darien Fawkes works for an agency and they are trying to find a way to get …

Micheal C Hall makes this series plain and simple. No other man could have done the Character of Dexter so well. His versatile acting skills have seen him through on this one.
Dexter, a blood splatter pattern analyst working for the Miami metro Police department has a dark secret…he moonlights …

Wagon Train: The Sam Pulaski Story is an okay entry for the western series. It features guest stars Ross Martin, Annette Funicello, Stanley Adams, Jocelyn Brando, and Harry Carey, Jr., among others.
Robert Fuller as Cooper Smith gets the main thrust of the story. He’s romancing Ross Pulaski …

Superstars of Dance, hosted by Irish dance great, Michael Flatley, has really been fascinating to watch. In this unique competition show, dancers from eight countries have faced off against one another in team dance, pairs, and solos.
The show could have been a political disaster, with the judges all …

From 2002, Stargate: Infinity: Double Duty is the second of the animated cartoon series. It begins with Major Bonner’s team realizing that their GDO codes no longer work. This means they can’t return to Stargate Command.
Their more important worry are the aliens on the planet they are …

I watched the first season or two of Curb Your Enthusiasm recently. It’s a comedy show that used to be on HBO and it won a bunch of comedy awards so my favorable review is going to be nothing new to the enlightened television watcher who by fluke …

As the world slowly revolves on an dying axis, we can see the ultimate result of our actions take place and seed in the minds of our children who will become the root of tomorrow. As we pray our lonesome prayers to God above, we are forced to wonder …

Friends Episode: Rachel’s Eye-drop is again another good episode of Friends that I will always remember. Rachel has a left eye infection and the nightmare starts off when Rachel goes to the Pediatrician. Rachel does not allow the Pediatrician to check her at all.
Even after Monica …

This was an interesting episode. It wasn’t very exciting, and there was not too much tension going on, but it was still enjoyable due to the chosen subject. In this episode, the team investigates the death of a young man, whose body was found on the premises of the …

Trigun Episode 21 begins in a Project Seeds ship that didn’t quite crash over 100 years ago, the Gung-Ho Guns have invaded, intent on destroying the ship’s residents, who are acquaintances of Vash. Vash and Wolfwood try to stop them and have to face three of the Gung-Ho …

Just as the documentary title and episode title indicate, Monty Python: Almost the Truth - The Lawyers Cut: The Much Funnier Second Episode is the second of six episodes which chronicle the history of this British comedy group. I’ve never been a fan, so I like to be …

The Backscatter episode of Numb3rs began with what I perceive to be a ridiculous chase seen. We know it’s a hacker doing something from an alley. They get blocked in, both front and back, and yet the two get out of the car and out of the …

There is rarely an episode of Bones that I don’t like. And this one is no exception. But this one is different from the rest of the episodes this season. Usually there is a mixture of serious things with a lot of humour. This time it was very serious and …

“Gesundheit, Darling” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. In this episode, Rob begins to sneeze whenever he’s near his wife, Laura, and his son, Richie, and after seeing a doctor and discovering that there’s nothing wrong with him, he begins to wonder if he could possibly …

The Twilight Zone: Miniature is what I would call a quiet little story, in part because it’s somewhat fairytale-ish. Robert Duvall plays the role of Charley Parkes, a rather mild man, perhaps timid, reserved, and not getting much out of life. He’s lost in the middle of …

The Nanny is a pretty funny show. It’s not the best thing ever, but it’s not horrible either. I think that Fran The Nanny looks pretty hot. The only problem is her voice is kind of annoying. And after hearing that voice show after show, you are start to get …

Diagnosis Murder: Vanishing Act: Part 1 continues the adventures of emergency medicine’s Dr. Mark Sloan, played brilliantly by the great Dick Van Dyke. In this sixth episode of the first season, the show starts with the emphasis on the police precinct where Steve Sloan (Barry Van Dyke) works …

Everybody Hates Chris as narrated by Chris Rock.
Taking a bunch of unknowns and extras and creating a situation comedy that focuses on the narration of a successful comedian was a risk, but it seems to work. This comedy series is as close to the Bill …

A few weeks ago, in August of 2008, NBC started airing “America’s Toughest Jobs”. Essentially, they are taking jobs that have been done as reality shows on other channels, like the Discovery Channel and the History Channel, and putting them together with other ‘tough jobs’ to challenge the …
