Adam-12: Extortion
The fourth season of Adam-12 got under way on September 15, 1971 with an episode called Extortion. It’s a good start for the police drama which starred Martin Milner and Kent McCord.
What I love about it first of all is that it starts out with the banter that …
Malcolm In the Middle
I was very sad to see Malcolm in the Middle get cancelled. It was one of my favorite shows and I could relate so well to that family. They are hard-working blue collar family, just like mine was when I was growing up, so I can totally understand most …

Grampa’s Silly Scaries
I watched a movie with my daughter yesterday afternoon called Grampa’s Silly Scaries. This was basically a bunch of old black and white cartoons being shown with Grampa Munster (Al Lewis) being cast as the host.
I wasn’t impressed with the movie.
First of all, how many young kids really know …
Ice Road Truckers: A Rookie’s Nightmare TV Show
In an odd sort of way, Ice Road Truckers: A Rookie’s Nightmare felt a bit like the karma show, the one in which some of the drivers got at least a small taste of what has been due them for a while.
For example, Hugh, nicknamed the polar bear, is …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Surveillance
Synopsis: Emily Deschanel guest stars as a cellist who is attacked and possibly raped in her apartment. While investigating the attack, the detectives discover a bunch of cameras that someone placed in her apartment to monitor her every move.
What I liked about this episode: Well, for one, Deschanel is …
Everybody Loves Raymond
This show is, in my opinion, not as hilarious as many people seem to think. It is no longer airing new episodes, but you can often catch Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, and the dvds are available for purchase, so it’s easy to watch this show even though it ended …

Invisibleman season 2 episode 18 Invisible woman
Invisibleman is a show that was quite popular back at the beginning of 2000 and I liked it because I like this kind a sci-fi stuff about special powers and x-man. Darien is an I-man, he can turn invisible. He has a gland that produced quick silver. In one …
America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theater TV Show
For the 2010 Independence Day holiday, a special called America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theater was presented. I liked this hour long show, but I wish it had featured some holiday music in it. Instead, we had a lot of pop music and some other songs, …
The Simpsons: No Loan Again, Naturally
One of our local stations has been showing Simpsons re-runs of episodes that are more recent and, as a result, I haven’t seen before. Last night, they showed one called No Loan Again, Naturally, which I thought was pretty good.
The episode starts out with Homer throwing a big bash …
Are you Smarter than a 5th grader?
I think that Are you Smarter than a 5th grader is a pretty cool TV show. The idea is original and has never been done before. So this makes the show really cool in my eyes. I mean it’s funny to see 5th grader’s be able ot answer questions that …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part II TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part II picks up where Part 1 left off, at a dramatic standoff at a railroad station. The problem is that the end of Part 1 was a little misleading. Now isn’t that unusual? About the only good part was …
Spongebob Squarepants: The Strangler
I saw a Spongebob Squarepants episode yesterday I haven’t seen in a while “The Strangler” and found it to be as funny as I remembered it being.

Stargate SG-1: Enemy Mine
Stargate SG-1: Enemy Mine is another super entry from season seven. I do have a couple of quibbles, though, one of which is that all of Richard Dean Anderson’s scenes are in the first twenty minutes. They really needed one more at the end and that stands …
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia airs on FX, and is not a show for the faint of heart. If you’re easily offended by shows like South Park, you’ll find this show to be atrocious. Yes, this show is more offensive than South Park. The humor is …
Laramie: The Last Battleground TV Show
Laramie: The Last Battleground is a fourth season episode of this wonderful western series. It’s one of the better shows, full of drama and heart both. Both John Smith and Robert Fuller are featured in their regular roles of Slim Sherman and Jess Harper, but it’s Smith …

The Forgotten - Football John
While the second and third issues of this new ABC crime drama haven’t been as good as the pilot, they’ve still been entertaining and have held my interest. This third entry, Football John, was quite interesting.
For me, the main thrust of The Forgotten - Football John was to …
South Park
From the first time I laid my eyes on a South Park episode I was instantly hooked! Seven years later I am sure not to miss a single episode of the latest season, season 12, and cannot help but wonder just how these guys keep coughing up their creative …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest

Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Back for Christmas TV Show
Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Back for Christmas was classic Hitchcock. I pretty much love most all that this series has to offer. They weren’t all winners, but it’s hard not to enjoy something about each offering that came from this ingenious mind.
The story begins in England with a …
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 …
That Girl: Fly by Night
There’s a small problem with the continuity of That Girl: Fly by Night in terms of Ann flying. She acts petrified from the beginning, but she’s been on planes to California at least twice and to Las Vegas, which was just this season. She also went …
ABC’s 25 Days of Christmas
Perhaps I’m going crazy, but at the beginning of December I remember seeing ABC advertising like crazy how they were going to be having Christmas shows every day of the month until Christmas. And then, after the first couple of days I keep watching them every day for …

A-Team: Mexican Slayride
When I was a kid, we used to make the show A-Team a weekly viewing experience. But, I’ve never seen the first episode; Mexican Slayride before.
That is until tonight.
The 2-hour long episode does a great job introducing the main characters of the show (with a different actor playing “Face” …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Mayberry Band TV Show
Music is at the center of the action in The Andy Griffith Show: The Mayberry Band, a third season episode that has a few good laughs in it. It’s all about the town band, which isn’t much to the ears at all. In fact, the new mayor, …

Take Me Out - ITV1 - Dating Show

The first case …

Thriller: Cousin Tundifer TV Show
From the second season of Thriller comes a little episode called Cousin Tundifer with Edward Andrews playing Miles Tundifer. This is somewhat of an eerie comedy, murder with a humorous twist. It’s a tale that brings the past to the present, from time to time, that is.
Here …

The Guard TV show
I have been so impressed with the new Global television series, “The Guard”. Usually, it is sad to say, Canadian Shows are not worth watching, but this one is awesome. The dramatic series follows the lives of 4 members of the Canadian Coast Guard. The cast …
Comcast Cable
I have been a customer of Comcast Cable off and on for roughly the last 7 years or so, dependent upon what deals they are currently offering. In the past, I have had no real complaints with the service other than the fact that their rates tended to …
