The Fugitive: The Iron Maiden
The first thing I noticed when I watched The Fugitive: The Iron Maiden again was that it guest starred Richard Anderson. Anderson was one of TV’s most used actors from the 60’s to the 80’s. He was on absolutely everything at one point at another, and like …
The Simpsons: Brawl in the Family
I watched a re-run of The Simpson’s yesterday, Brawl in the Family, and wasn’t very impressed with it.
The episode starts out with the Republican Party doing something evil and trying to destroy the environment, which leads to acid rain and, since the family is stuck indoors without TV, they …
Fringe: The Bishop Revival
I finally got a chance to watch a full episode of Fringe last night (I love DVR because it allows me to pause the show until I get my daughter to bed). The episode, The Bishop Revival, was interesting and a bit creepy.
Basically, they had a Nazi scientist using …
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 …
Supernatural Season 2
Supernatural season 2 wasn’t nearly as good as the first season and it also wasn’t quite as good as some episodes in the third season, but it was still pretty good. The first season ended on a cliffhanger and the first episode picks up right where that one ended. …

On Demand Television
Although I thought On-Demand Television would be difficult to figure out prior to us getting it, I simply now could not live without it. We get our On-Demand TV through Comcast, who handles our phone, cable, and internet services for about a hundred dollars each month combined. …

CHiPs: Baby Food
One of the fun things about the Baby Food episode of CHiPs is that we can extrapolate what the show might have been had Erik Estrada won the role of Frak Poncherello. This is because Joe Nicassio guest stars as a young man, sort of hippie-ish, who is …
CSI Season 4 Episode 3- Homebodies
CSI Season 4 Episode 3- Homebodies
That was a very average episode, I did not think much about it. Some of it was just plain boring. So it was good, since the show is great, but compared to other episodes on the show, this one was a bit disappointing.
Grissom and …

Castle is one of those shows where the main characters always have a witty or pithy statement as the last word. The conversations between the characters are quick and engaging; the actors do have good chemistry together. The great thing is that while the show is very focused on …
Rush (An Australian TV Series)
Rush is an Australian TV series set in Melbourne, Australia. I follow this series religiously because it is an eye-opener in terms of the differences between the police in the US and Australia. The accent is a bit difficult to follow, but after a while, you begin to understand …

Charlie Rose TV Show
For TV viewers who do not like situation comedies and all the reality TV “tripe”, I would recommend watching Charlie Rose at 10:30 on your local PBS station.
This show isn’t for everyone. If you are not well-read and don’t enjoy cerebral conversation, this show is not for you.
However, if …
Clueless
The movie version fo Clueless was such a hit that of course the television executives tried to find a way to capitalise on it, bringing into existence Clueless the television series.

Columbo: How to Dial a Murder TV Show

The Last Man on Earth, TV show
When I heard the name, without knowing anything else about it, I thought this show was gonna be a bit like “I Am Legend,” full of drama, action, the end of the world, and just one man in a planet full of zombies. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It’s actually the …

M*A*S*H: Settling Debts
M*A*S*H: Settling Debts has Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) going all bonkers again. I’d honestly forgotten just how annoying that was, but seeing his constant blow ups makes me long for the peace and confusion of Colonel Henry Blake. The reason for this final season’s blowup is …
The X-Files Improbable Episode
I first saw this episode of the popular 1990s television series “The X-Files” one night on the cable television channel Sci-Fi. At first I didn’t get to watch all of it since I had only gotten to see the last part of it, however I thought it looked interesting …

Big Train - Series One
Written by the minds behind Father Ted and the IT Crowd, this strange sketch show that first debuted in the late 90s might at first be a difficult one to get into.

I usually enjoy watching re-runs of the show Gilligan’s Island on the weekends; especially if I’m stuck in the house because of the weather or a sleeping baby. This past weekend, I got to see one I haven’t seen in a while; Ship’s Ahoax.
