“Swallowed Alive” may be one of the most intense episodes throughout any season of 21 Jump Street.
While Fuller is gone on vacation, the higher ups send all of his men into juvenile lock-up in order to find out who killed an inmate. Or rather, who is …

Here Come the Brides: A Kiss for Just So has Jason Bolt hiring some Amish workers to help cut down some trees. In the process, he falls for Dena, who essentially is the female leader of the group. Jason is played by Robert Brown, who is very …

While Soon-Tek Oh is an incredible actor and does his normal terrific job in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Warlord, it’s not enough to carry this show; at least, not for me. In this episode, Oh plays Yataki, the warlord, and he does a good job, as always. …

From December 1967, the 12th show of its fourth year, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Blow Up has a new twist for the viewers to enjoy. It’s not exactly the typical ‘body take over’ theme that is so popular in science fiction shows, but it’s more …

How simple and petty our desires are before they reach metamorphosis and become larger than the very universe where we call our home and province of there forth. This is Eureka Seven episode 38 “Date of Birth”, a simple misunderstanding fallowing in an argument that will strength the bonds …

If I recall correctly, Star Trek: Assignment: Earth, the last show of the second season, was actually a pilot for series that didn’t sell. It would have starred Robert Lansing as Gary Seven with Teri Garr as Roberta Lincoln. Personally, I liked it, and I would have …

Even after well over a decade since it was last on our screens, apart from a rather badly conceived “Back to Earth” special shown in 2009, Red Dwarf remains - at least as far as I am concerned - the greatest of all science fiction sitcoms. The BBC stuck …

This is like a soap opera with much better actors. The stuff New York puts them through is pretty funny and it is amusing to watch them all trash each other. I do nto expect any lasting love for her nor even really care but the show was amusing …

I just love it when there is something great to watch on a Sunday night as the thought of having to go back to work the next day can be pretty depressing. Last Sunday I happened to catch the beginning of a new three-part series on BBC1 at …

Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 15 - Secrets continues the fallout of Simon’s mission gone bad. He’s eager for something, but no one knows what. He’s moved back home, away from Celia, gets into a fight at a bar, and meets a gal named Betsy, who seems very …

Centennial: The Massacre is one of the most difficult episodes of this epic mini-series to watch. It’s top notch drama and stands up to the ongoing quality and expectations of this series, which is based on the novel by James Michener. That said, it’s hard to watch …

This episode had some potential, but inevitably fell flat for me. It was interesting to see the monster of the week get killed off in the stinger, and have its death be the subject of investigation. It seemed like a nice inversion, but at about the halfway …

Sea Hunt: The Alcatraz Story aired in January 1959 and was the first story of the second season which continued the adventures of deep sea diver, Mike Nelson, as portrayed by Lloyd Bridges. This particular tale has a bunch of vocal narration because so much of it does …

Crimewatch is a local TV show that I like to watch because it gives me the latest insight on what’s going on in my country; crime-wise, of course. It is not that interesting to find out that someone has been robbed or killed, but I think the show gives …

After a light-hearted, comedic episode, the show dives right into nightmare fuel territory with this episode. I’m surprised this doesn’t get more regard as it was fantastic. It probably ranks as one of the creepiest episodes of the series so far. Honestly, it puts “Blink” to …

Stargate SG-1: Demons is a sort of odd entry in the minds of some for the third season of the sci-fi series. In this episode, SG-1 find themselves on a planet that is reminiscent of Medieval Europe in their way of living and beliefs.
At issue in part is …

Grow Your Own Drugs is the most radical title for a TV show I think I have ever seen. I just had to watch it because my curiosity was just killing me. I like gardening and herbs are one of my latest kicks I have gotten into learning about. …

Well, that was a cute episode of the cartoon Phineas and Ferb. I wasn’t expecting much from an episode entitled Raging Bully and about thumb wrestling but it ended up being much better than I expected. In fact, I think it was downright entertaining.
Basically, in this episode, Phineas finds …

Jack Dalton strikes again in The Odd Triple episode of the third season of MacGyver. Bruce McGill has this part down cold and plays him well, but he still drives me nuts and I don’t enjoy these episodes as much as I do the others. Jack continues …

Episode 3 of 1987’s science fiction comedy series, Out of This World, is called The Nightmare. It’s an appropriate title since teenager Evie Garland (Maureen Flannigan) spends most of the show fretting about her nightmare. Evie is half-alien (as in out of this world, father from another …

Nick at night TV land awards is one show they certainly could do without. Not really without but rewritten instead of having the most stupid categories for classic television. Categories such as Best Braces or Best superhero are so ridiculous. These categories do not uphold the integrity of …

It’s the holiday season in Remington Steele: Etched in Steele, and the Remington Steele Agency is going through a slowdown. That is, until Laura Holt gets in an uproar over her fictional detective whose identity has been assumed by a mysterious man. It seems that Steele has …

Once again, I’m watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and have to suffer through another episode “Fear, Itself” that doesn’t even spend any time discussing vampires.
This is the typical Buffy Halloween episode, where Halloween is supposed to be a quiet time and something strange happens to put the gang in …

One thing about The Fall Guy, it has an old school opening that you just don’t see much anymore. The full theme plus standard intro in this first season lasts almost three minutes. In this era of 10 second, title only spots, this feels like forever. …

The American Idol - Week 1 Results Show had some nice moments in it, along with a few things that just aren’t my style. On the latter side was a performance by Kanye West. I just don’t like the guy. He has a prima dona attitude …

One of the things I really like about Due South: Mask is the Indian culture and lore that comprises a big part of the story. I’m always taken with the legends and such that are part of the very rich Indian heritage. This show is full of …

Synopsis: Al grows frustrated over the fact his boss has never visited him at work and doesn’t know he even exists so he threatens to quit if the store’s owner doesn’t show up to shake his hand within 30 days.
What I liked about this episode: I caught the very …

Friday afternoon, I tuned into the Simpsons and came across an episode I haven’t seen before; Love, Springfieldian Style. And, I have to say I loved it.
Everything about this episode was classic. You have Homer and Marge celebrating Valentines Day with the kids and they go on a tunnel …

To Boldly Go … Season Two featurette includes some great comments about some of the classic episodes which aired during the second season of Star Trek. This includes the wonderful and most popular episode, The Trouble with Tribbles, which just about everyone calls the one and only comedy …

My wife and I watched the season finale of Ghost Hunters Academy last night, Final Exam. It was an OK episode because I think it ended explaining more about the series than the rest of the episodes did.
For one, we learned that, instead of going home, the class members that …

The second episode of the first season of Veronica Mars is a crucial one is setting up the relationship between Veronica Mars and Weevil, the leader of the PCH motorcycle gang. This relationship establishes one of the the essential themes of the show: class. Weevil and Veronica areoutsiders because …

I don’t watch a lot of reality television, but there is one weight loss and fitness show that I really love. It is called The Last 10 Pounds Boot Camp, and the premise of this half-hour show is quite basic: each episode features a subject, or victim, who is …

Scooby Doo is a funny, family oriented cartoon that all ages can love. The Scooby Doo cartoon has been around since the 1970s, and several generations have grown up watching this crazy cartoon with a talking dog. Scooby Doo stars Scooby Doo, the brown and black spotted dog who …

While I’m not as big of a fan as the show “Psych” as I used to be, mostly because I really find it hard to believe everyone is still falling for the fake psychic routine, it does still manage to have the occassional good episode from time to time. …

House is the perfect character to draw out the personality in others that is what makes the show House so interesting. As a medical drama it is ok, but not really any better than the others, and as a mystery show it doesn’t work because unless you’ve went to …

The Cosby Show is timeless. Even though this show most likely came out before I was even born, I still enjoy watching it. Bill Cosby is funny but in a very classy way. He adds a certain elegance to the show. I appreciate the fact that Bill plays the …

If you haven’t heard by now that owning a TiVo will change how you watch television, let me say it again.
TiVo will change how you watch television! I know it can be a hard sell when you notice the $13 per month programming charge (which is on top …

This season seven entry of Stargate SG-1 doesn’t really excite me that much. Avenger 2.0 brings back the geek from season six’s The Other Guys. As played by Patrick McKenna, Felger means well, but he’s essentially a fumbling geek with a big crush on Sam.
The negatives on this …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast continued with the Man of the Hour, Dan Haggerty, best known as Grizzley Adams. The dais featured a few performers known for playing similar outdoor characters along with the usual suspects of ridiculous ‘why bother’ comics.
To be honest, this was the most boring …

The third season of the underwater adventure series Sea Hunt presented its twenty-fifth outing with a show entitled Blind Spot. The name comes from something which happens to the lead character, Mike Nelson, fairly early in the half hour.
Unfortunately, this June 1960 episode, is another one that has …

Medium Season 4 Episode 15- Being Joey Carmichael
This was another spooky and bizarre episode of Medium. It was intentionally confusing and strange. The whole show deals with the paranormal and the bizarre, but I think this episode has done an extra good job at weirding me out. Usually …

Criminal Minds is a standing 8pm Wednesday night appointment in my home. I’m not sure why but this show that allows us to see directly into the evils of the human mind is addictive. Maybe it’s the interest I have always had in the art of profiling.
I love …

If you haven’t been watching the FX drama/comedy series Archer, you are indeed missing something. In episode 7 of season two, entitled “Movie Star”, Lana has to pair with Hollywood actress Rona Thorne who is researching her character for a role in an upcoming movie entitled “Disavowed”. Personally, I …

And so Glee’s descent into the real world continues.
With its revolving plot lines and hit or miss ‘themes’. the once magical “Glee” has become a what was once cool, TV show. Following in the footsteps of shows like Lost, Glee seems to be a victim of its own …

Even though the new season doesn’t start until January, viewers were treated to a 2 hour 24 “movie” that sets up the plot for the next season.
My memory of the last season is rather fuzzy. I have a vague idea of what happened but when the …

The season finale of Burn Notice was an episode called Lesser Evil, which guest starred Michael Shanks, famous as Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1. This was Shanks fourth appearance on the USA hit drama, and he was awesome. It was the conclusion of an arc that was extremely …

I’ve often felt that the powers that be at SG-1 started season eight with a few good shows and decided to use all of them, even if the timing didn’t necessarily make sense. This episode, Zero Hour, seems like it should have been the starter once Jack was …
