Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Deep Cover for Batman
There’s just so much in this episode to love. For the first time that I can recall, we actually get to see ALL the heroes working together. Ok, it’s their villainous counterparts from a parallel dimension, but we still get to see a full team as opposed …
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 2
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 2 continues the P.D. James story that takes place at Nightingale Hospital. This confines the story to taking place mostly in the hospital, and thus, it’s a story I like better than several of the other city location stories. For whatever …
Justice League Unlimited: the Doomsday Sanction
Typically “Justice League Unlimited” focused on the less famous members of the Justice league and that is good. It adds depth to the D.C. universe which isn’t in most cartoons because they need to focus on a few characters.
The second thing it does is serve as a contrast to …
MacGyver: The Outsiders
Season four of MacGyver has turned out to be the season without the Phoenix Foundation, or so it seems. The first three thus far have had Mac on the road, but at least they aren’t do dead animal stories. Actually, this episode, which is called The Outsiders, …
The Notorious Ghost Hunters!
Want to watch a show that really debunks the idea of Ghosts and then turns around and lets you know if you are really haunted! Then Ghost Hunter on Scifi TV is your show of shows. Their organization is called TAPS and they investigate the paranormal otherwise known as …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Debutante TV Show
The opening of Have Gun - Will Travel: Debutante, the 19th show of the sixth season, found Richard Boone’s Paladin in his finest duds at the Hotel Carlton in San Francisco. He’s attempting to romance a beautiful Armenian woman, and it’s quiet charming. What I love most …
Wagon Train: The Cassie Vance Story
I like The Cassie Vance Story, one of the ninety minute color episodes that aired during the seventh season of the hit western, Wagon Train. Laraine Day was the guest star, and she was so wonderful to watch. She’s an accomplished actress that brought depth to the …
Black Gold: S3, Ep 4 TV Show
The biggest part of Black Gold’s 4th episode from season three was on new driller Ben’s first day on the job. The question was rather or not he could control the unruly bunch of crew and get them to do their jobs.
What is funny about that to me …
Sirius Hair Nation
I am a huge fan of 1980’s hair bands. So when I bought satellite tv and it came with a huge list of music channels, I was extatic to find out that a whole channel was dedicate to music from big hair bands from the 80’s.
I have always …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Price of Doom TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Price of Doom, the fifth show of this successful sci fi series, opens with a blizzard in Antarctica. It also brings us our first real sea monster story, a device that would become more the norm than the unusual. …
The Secret Life of the American Teenager
Hey, you should be proud of me. A new television series came on TV and, not only did I watch it, I actually got to see the first episode of it (that rarely happens).
But, after watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager on ABC Family, I really find …
Clean House TV Show
I love watching this TV show not just only for entertainment but also for the insights and lessons I learned in every episode I watched. I usually watch this with my husband who was always ready to give comments and criticisms on how messy
and disorganized some people in America …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder Most Vial TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder Most Vial from season two centers around an unhappy multi-millionaire named William Bissell who sues the hospital for malpractice. It’s a frivolous lawsuit really since the nasty tycoon admits he hasn’t been following doctor’s orders. He ultimately becomes the murder victim. By the …
The Simpsons: Natural Born Kisser
I saw one of my favorite episodes of the Simpsons yesterday, “Natural Born Kisser.” I love this episode because it really puts what a lot of married couples (my wife and I included) do to keep the spark in their marriage into a whole new perspective.
Marge and Homer find …
Highway Patrol: Temptation TV Show
Highway Patrol: Temptation, a third season 1957 episode that focuses on the service of the California Highway Patrol, was an okay episode with some high and low points. As always, the show starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews. In this episode, he’s on the trail of …
Columbo: Lady in Waiting TV Show
The Columbo episode, Lady in Waiting, starred Susan Clark as the murderer. I believe she’s the first to get that honor, such as it is. Clark plays Beth Chadwick, who shoots and kills her brother. In fact, there really is an overly done seen where she …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Guitar Player TV Show
I mentioned early on that most of my reviews for the early episodes of The Andy Griffith Show would tend to be glowing. I adore this series and it was so very well produced. That said, there are some shows that I’ve never warmed up to, and …
Highway Patrol: Foster Child TV Show
Foster Child was the 19th episode of season three for the often dramatic TV series, Highway Patrol. From February 1958, this show follows a young boy through a very difficult day. The boy is playing with a friend next door, when that boy makes a tragic decision. …

One thing that bugs me a little …
Tonight - How to Save a Grand in a Day (ITV)
The ITV ‘Tonight’ programme subtitled ‘How to Save a Grand in a Day’ is presented by popular television financial expert Martin Lewis and it aired tonight. I am already quite a fan of Mr Lewis as he is always very enthusiastic in giving his easy to digest advice …
The Andy Griffith Show: Hot Rod Otis TV Show
Season four of The Andy Griffith Show continued with Hot Rod Otis on February 17, 1964. The basic premise of the half hour program has Andy and Barney worried when town drunk Otis Campbell (played beautifully by Hal Smith) buys a car.
First up, though, is some competition madness …
Adam 12 - Log 101
“Log 101″ of “Adam-12″ has a scene that I’ve never forgotten because it’s just too funny. A man has his lawn stolen. I always think back to that episode of “Bewitched” where Samantha wiggles up a lawn and drives her neighbor batty.
I like the focus on Officer …
Stargate SG1: The Light Season 4, Episode 18
What do you get when you cross a Goa’uld palace, a beautiful light and an addictive substance with a bunch of humans from Earth? Lots of addicted humans whose dopemine levels escalate while on the planet but drop dangerously and fatally low when they return back to Earth.
After …
Remington Steele: Steele Belted TV Show
From season one in November 1982, Remington Steele: Steele Belted was fairly interesting. It began with Steele’s condo being ransacked, though Laura Holt doesn’t seem to care. It’s not until he ends up in the middle of things himself, that Holt lets Steele in on the current …
Ouran High School Host Club
Ouran High School Host Club is probably one of the most favorite anime series I have ever watched and it’s one of the few shows I actually got to finish watching. It’s a funny anime, mixed with outrageous characters and cute romantic scenes that’s it’s bound to make you laugh, …
Anime (Animation) : Kids On The Slope
The animation is wonderful, the story is lively, and when those two main characters start playing jazz I just can’t help but close my eyes and smile. The anime Sakamichi no Apollon (also known as Kids on the Slope in English) truly is a masterpiece. I am a big …
Roseanne Season One
The first season of Roseanne actually held up a lot better than I thought it would, especially considering that the show first aired almost two decades ago. I picked up the box set fairly cheap and ended up watching the whole season in one weekend because it was really …
Star Trek: The Enemy Within TV Show
William Shatner gets to have some acting fun in Star Trek: The Enemy Within, portraying Kirk in two different ways. The events surround a transporter malfunction that caused Captain Kirk to turn into two people. Actually, what it does is take his stronger self and makes it …
That Girl: That Girl’s Daddy
That Girl: That Girl’s Daddy from season 5 is an interesting story in a way. It’s one that also has a continuity error. At the beginning of the show, Lou Marie (Lew Parker) is trying to get inside Ann Marie’s (Marlo Thomas) apartment when a policeman stops …
The Simpsons Season 3
The third season of The Simpsons isn’t exactly the best season in the show’s history, but it’s far from the worst too. When you watch the earlier seasons now, it can sometimes be hard to compare the characters to how they look and sound now. That problem doesn’t appear …
Doctor Who season 1 Episode 1 Rose
I have heard quite a lot about this show so I decided to watch it when they finally started showing it on our public television. I knew it was a science fiction show but III didn’t know what to expect actually.
This episode is located in London, where a rather …
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 …
The Fall Guy: The Rich Get Richer TV Show
I mentioned in my last review for The Fall Guy that one of the things that is ironic about this show is that it focuses on a stunt man and as a result we see some incredible stunts. At the same time, it’s not really fictional stunt man …
Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV Episode: Into Thin Air
Everyone was asleep early last night so I found myself watching another episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents; Into Thin Air.
I have grown to love this old show. But, this was an episode I have to admit I was not overly impressed with.
The episode is about a woman who checks …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Brooklyn Dodgers
While the name this episode of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. might lead one to think there’s baseball in the mix, there isn’t. Brooklyn Dodgers is named for two teenagers who are on their own, fending for themselves, after a tragic accident years earlier that caused the …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature is the 28th show of the series. This science fiction show has always been a favorite of mine, and it’s really been fun to go back and watch them again in order to write these reviews. Of course, …
Smallville: Absolute Justice - Part 1
Prior to watching Smallville: Absolute Justice, the last episode of this series I’d seen was probably its first season, back when star Tom Welling was a teenager and John Schneider was playing his father. I’ve heard bits and pieces about the show over the years, but I haven’t …
Family Guy: Stu & Stewie’s Excellent Adventure
A couple days ago I wrote a review about an episode where Stewie travels to California to meet a man he believed to be his real father. He gets there and discovers the man is really him from the future.
The episode they showed last night “Stu & Stewie’s Excellent …

Cowboy Bebop Episode 11 involves the crew of the Bebop landing on Ganymede, Jet’s home planet in order to collect a bounty. Jet goes to visit his ex-girlfriend Alisa, while Spike pursues a bounty on a man named Rhint Celonias.
This episode was really interesting because it didn’t center …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Heritage TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Heritage is a neat hour of family drama that centers on saving a piece of the past for the future. In this story, Hannah McFadden (Terri Treas) becomes determined to save an old school from being knocked down and destroyed in favor of …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Game Over for Owlman!
You wouldn’t think it, but this episode is just as good as the part that preceded it. Why? Two words, the Joker.
Yes, Batman’s arch-nemesis finally makes an official appearance. Not only does he appear, but he offers to join forces with Batman to take down Owlman and …
Teletubbies for kids
Teletubbies usually runs on the local stations. Its a very good program for babies and very young toddlers. Babies are fastinated by the teletubbies movement, singing, and dancing. They love “Nunu” which is the teletubbies little vaacum cleaner. Teletubbies love to hug and dance and play. Each episode features …

Stargate SG-1: The Other Side
Stargate SG-1: The Other Side is a good entry for season four of this sci-fi series. In it, SG-1 and Earth test their code of ethics, a charge led by the passionate Daniel Jackson.
At first, SG-1 is all for helping the Eurondans, a race that contacts them, desperate …
Psych: Forget Me Not
During my Psych mini-marathon before bed last night, I came across an episode I hadn’t seen before; Forget Me Not. This one turned out to be an interesting case for Shawn and Gus.
The two are hired by his dad’s former captain, who believes he has solved a murder. However, …

On the Road with Austin and Santino: Season 1 Premier TV Show
Austin Scarlett and Santino Rice, one time contestants on Project Runway, have their own show now called On the Road with Austin and Santino. Some folks might consider it a condensed version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy as the two designers go on the road all …
Jeremiah: Firewall
Coming off the heels of the wonderful City of Roses episode, Firewall continues to add excellence in entertainment for the Jeremiah science fiction series. One of the good things about this series, which Luke Perry both stars in and acts as the executive producer of, is that we …
American Idiol
I started watching American Idol in their first season because I loved to hear people sing. I thought a show that would give the opportunity to an amazing singer, who might not have a chance of otherwise being discovered, was an excellent idea. I loved watching it every …
