Not a favorite, The Twilight Zone: Long Distance Call is an eerie episode about an egotistic, possessive grandmother who believes she lost her son to his wife and who has every intention of taking her beloved grandson with her to the grave. There’s no love there; that’s perverted.
Before …

I was amazed with the first High School musical when I saw it on the disney channel. I grooved with the song “We’re all in this together”. There I was interested. I was also entertained with Ashley Tisdale’s snob attitude. Her bitchy styles was totally hilarious. So, when the …

Dancing With the Stars for the 11th season has been pretty good. This review is for the Week 5 Results show. One thing that I like this year is that they are changing things up, starting with instant results sometimes and sometimes opening with a guest or …

The first season of the New Adventures of Old Christine was a really funny one though not as funny as I remembered. It took me quite awhile to buy the season on DVD because it’s fairly expensive for 15 episodes that are less than 30 minutes long. When I …

There’s one really notable thing about the Sable: Watchdogs episode from 1987. It’s a great show in showing what the blind can do and what their capabilities. So often it’s been easy for TV to stereotype the blind, but in this series, the character of Cheesecake is …

The second episode is another example of why this show is so funny. Consisting of two skits, Bubblestand and Ripped Pants, viewers are treated to both laughs and great music.
The most memorable of the two skits was the Ripped Pants skit, where Spongebob entertains the beach crowd by ripping …

If you’ve never heard of Grey’s Anatomy you must’ve been leaving under a rock because it’s one of the most popular shows out there. Grey’s Anatomy is on the ABC network. This follows the lives of a handful of medical interns, one of which is name Meredith Grey, and …

Robot Chicken is a sketch comedy show on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim lineup. It’s animated, but not in the traditional moving pictures manner. It’s actually the product of stop-motion animation, making heavy use of action figures and dolls.
A lot of the humor is of the shock or …

While not many people might have heard about or watched the television series Pushing Daisies, I can remember it from when it started airing on the cable television channel ABC in 2007. Back then although I was never lucky enough to catch a single episode of it, I had always …

This is a great episode, lots of action, lightening strikes, and bizarre natural occurrences. The Professor has lots of challenges ahead of him. And I can almost see the gears turning in his scientific mind of his trying to help Gilligan. And this episode is definitely high up there …

It used to be I would only tune into Cartoon Network for their Adult Swim line up after 9:30 at night. Now, I’m watching almost all the time in no small part to their show Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.
Centering around a foster home for abandoned imaginary friends, the …

This is one of the latest episodes of CSI: Las Vegas. While I give it up for them for trying out something new, I didn’t really care much for this episode. Other than being completely different from other episodes, I didn’t really like anything about it. I thought it …

Sea Hunt: Killer Whale is not a favorite of mine in that I just don’t like the subject matter. You know going in that what is going to be shown will be disheartening, and there’s bound to be a sorry ending for the whale. It’s the kind …

M*A*S*H: Back Pay focuses on Hawkeye Pierce’s (Alan Alda) quest to get paid for his services. He begins by preparing an itemized bill and then sends the charges to the government. It is a pretty funny bit, but the problem is that it really wasn’t a half-hour’s …

Graham Jarvis appears as Colonel Whiteman, …

After receiving an anonymous tip about an impending bank …

The first show of Columbo’s third season on the air was Lovely But Lethal, which featured Vera Miles as Viveca Scott, Martin Sheen as Karl Lessing, Vincent Price as David Lang, and Sian Barbara Allen as Shirley Blaine.
Sian Barbara Allen was one of those actresses who was everywhere in …

CSI without the Gil Grissom character just isn’t CSI, but the show is still plugging along. It’s not that it’s bad, it just lacks the zip and zest that Grissom injected into the action. Still, the March 5, 2009 episode called “Turn, Turn, Turn” was intriguing and …

I have this fascination with extreme living conditions—”that is, homes that are either extremely strange or extremely expensive (or both.) This program on the Travel Channel focused on the bathrooms around the world that have some kind of weird conditions. For instance, at a Japanese steak …

The most disappointing thing about season four’s That Girl: My Part Belongs to Daddy is that for just about the first time, or maybe just the second, they used an interior car scene that was clearly done on the stage. In the past, they’ve done more location shoots …

This is regarded as a classic episode, and that regard is well warranted. The episode does everything just about perfectly. It builds up tension and suspense, gives the characters a unique adversary, and allows the characters to really shine as they are pushed to the edge by …

To that end, a …

Sable: Evangelist is the third of seven episodes of this series spawned by a comic book character. It’s all about Nicholas Flemming aka Jon Sable who has a soft spot for children, largely due to his own family tragedy. Lewis Van Bergen is incredibly boring in this …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Lake aired in July 1989, and it’s turned out to be one of my favorites so far. This is the third season of Bradbury science fiction stories that aired, and it’s been pretty much a love/hate relationship for me. A show either …

Criminal minds is a TV show that will run its eleventh season this year. Eleventh season! There are not many TV shows that can brag with eleven seasons. I saw a few episodes of this show in the past few years but never entire episode, just pieces of an …
