CSI is a long-running series that is very popular all over the world. My main likes for this show is the actors and the fact that you don’t have to see all the episodes to know what it going on. The actors are pretty good, and although they might …

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 …

Another of my favorite ninety minute, color episodes of Wagon Train is The Robert Harrison Clarke Story. It guest stars Michael Rennie, who was a terrific actor. He plays Clarke, an Englishmen who is traveling through the west to basically disprove the many things he’s read in …

Nip Tuck is a very edgy show. It is one of my husband’s and my favorite shows. Nip Tuck pushes the boundaries of what it can get away with on television. They have had every possible random situation on the show. It is about two plastic surgeons and their …

Maybe I’m just old, or maybe there was just too much going on, but I found the pilot movie for Private Eye to be very confusing in its set up. The first half hour just left me wondering who was who and what was what. It did …

I opted to purchase On Demand Television in my home. As a result, I have wound up getting four hundred some odd television channels that I thought I would never utilize. I suppose I underestimated the the addictive nature of being spoiled enough to have such a …

Star Trek: This Side of Paradise is one of the most well known episodes in which we see another side of the rational and logical Mr. Spock, played so aptly by Leonard Nimoy. It’s safe to say that this Spock is not like the normal Vulcan we see. …

Season one of MacGyver rolls on with A Prisoner of Conscience, another episode with some kind of Russian focus. I guess it was a sign of the 80’s — lots of Russian types of stories. Dana Elcar is again in the show as Pete Thornton, and …

From November 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Old Man in the Cave has its moments, but it’s not really a favorite episode. It’s more odd than appealing, and I’ve never found it to be all that satisfying as entertainment goes.
Apparently, some bomb has gone off, and the world …

St. Bear’s Dolls Hospital is a kid’s show and I first saw it while baby sitting for a relative. It is basically what the name states. It is a hospital for broken toys to come to and get repaired. They seem to have some toys that are regulars on …

I tuned into The Virginian: Another’s Footsteps for a couple of reasons — Paul Petersen and Dennis Holmes. The funny thing is that Petersen got great billing, with his name in the opening theme, and yet he’s gone after one prolonged scene. I felt a little cheated …

I do enjoy The Andy Griffith Show: Stranger in Town and I agree with what it’s trying to convey. At the same time, I see the flaws and that’s what keeps it from being a really great show. There’s just a huge dose of common sense that …

Let me start off by saying that I am a very happy that most of the big TV networks have sites that allow you to watch a good deal of their programing on the net. I still watch regular TV but there are a number of times that programs …

After watching two seasons of the hit cartoon series, The Boondocks, I cannot help but hope that the creators will make a third season.

Should girls be able to beat boys at sports? That was the central theme of the That 70s Show episode “Battle of the Sexists,” and I have to admit, it really made an interesting point about the way we view opposite genders.
The episode is based on the fact Donna can …

What a great House episode. It’s just too bad more recent episodes have stunk. The episode “Family” is apparently the one that starts setting things in motion for the show in terms of House getting a whole new staff. But, the case itself is definitely interesting too.
You have two …
