From March 1964, The Twilight Zone: The Masks is another show that I’m not that fond of. This last season of The Twilight Zone was full of sub par outings that had no real joy in watching them. This one actually isn’t as bad as the shows …

I haven’t seen too many recent Simpsons episodes but I had a chance to watch a couple of them (in re-runs last night).
One of those, “In the Name of the Grandfather” was kind of cool.
I love how this episode starts out. The Simpsons end up buying a hot tub …

I watched Season 5 Episode 1 of Desperate Housewives on my local channel yesterday and was so entertained. This season starts with everything fast forward 5 years later and as usual, we see the wives being in desperate situations but either they do not mask it or they just …

The fact that it’s the fifth season really shows for The Twilight Zone. There are several shows in a row that I just don’t like, and The Last Night of a Jockey from October 1963 is another one of them. The stories had some good actors, but …

Emerald Point N.A.S. is an ensemble series and there are some pieces of that ensemble that I like better than others. Glenn Matthews is a wimp of a character, and I’m so sick of him; in fact, I wish he wasn’t part of that ensemble. As portrayed …

Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 3 begins with Ed and Al in a library looking for clues about the Philosopher’s Stone. Al finds an old book they read when they were little and we see a flashback of Ed and Al’s childhood with their mother Trisha.
This episode was excellent, it …

This used to be my absolute favorite show when I was younger. I am still so sad that there will never be a new episode again. But luckily, they are still showing reruns and probably always will because it was such a successful show. I would watch it every …

What I liked about this …

I admit I always feel a bit like an archeologist watching this episode. The excitement of finding rare literature carved painfully into a piece of stone always intrigues me. What message could be so important to carve it into set stone to last thousands of years? And this episode …

In this edition of the United Kingdom’s version of Undercover Boss, it was Paul Fisher, the main man in charge of The Jockey Club, who went undercover. This show was about the business associates of the racing world’s The Jockey Club, from taking tickets at the racetrack to …

I do love The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee the Warden, an episode that aired originally back in March 1962, which was the second year that this series aired on TV. It actually opens with a bit of exposition. In real life, Andy Griffith had hurt his …

Laramie: The Long Riders is one of my all time favorite shows from this high quality western series. It’s from season two and guest stars Dan Duryea as Luke Gregg. Robert Crawford Jr. also appears as Andy Sherman, home for a while on break from attending …

The 35th show Highway Patrol from Season 3 was called Explosives and aired in June 1958. While it had action and drama, it also featured poor writing in my view, and maybe even more direction since I would think the director would have some power to make what …

So far, Diagnosis Murder has done one two-part story each season and this third year is no exception. Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part 1 aired in January 1996 with the conclusion airing one week later.
This is a good time to note another change to season three, …

You know, I used to like watching Ghost Hunters. I even used to plan my evenings around each new episode. But, after watching yet another disappointing one last night, I am starting to wonder if maybe I should change my allegiance to another program.
I still like TAPS and its …

It was a very nice episode, although I feel it could have been better. There were some interesting twists of events, but for the most part of it I was a bit bored. It is not that the events of the episode did not matter, it was because there …

Remember the TV sitcom years before, Dharma & Greg? I love this TV sitcom very much and have been missing it since. I wonder why there’s no more of this sitcom.
From the moment Dharma and Greg get to know each other right up to their marriage …

For me, one of the things that stands out about Adam-12: The Tip is that Chuck Courtney has an uncredited part as bad guy, Russell Simms. I’m not sure why he didn’t make the end theme credits, but for some reason, Adam-12 had a habit of not crediting …

The 23rd episode of Highway Patrol’s third season in March 1958 was called Deaf Mute because during a robbery gone bad, a young girl who can’t hear or speak witnesses the crime. As a result, the culprits take the girl with them.
This show was apparently Lynette Winter’s first …

Criminal Minds: Safe Haven was another very violent hour of television, though it was also a compelling sixty minutes that held my attention throughout. This was a combination of the story and the acting, primarily from the talents of Mare Winningham.
In this show, the BAU goes after a …

The War episode of Max Headroom is actually one I’ve seen before and with added interest. The reason for that is because it featured Lisa Niemi as a news reporter named Janie Crane. I remember chuckling a bit, though, because while we see Niemi several times, she …

Dexter has a really cool vibe about it. It’s sort of dark but my spirits are always up when I see it. Dexter is the story of a foster kid who has a desire to kill. he starts off killing small animals and his dad a …

The second season seems to be proving itself as a worthy successor to the first so far. Corey Haim takes a big step in the right direction by making apologies to everyone he’s ever worked with or known that he’s burnt bridges with. He does this by putting a …

I was watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter this morning and was watching an episode that was kind of funny; “New Digs.”

I’ve seen just about every Super Bowl Half Time show over the past decade; even when didn’t watch the game. But, last night’s performance by Tom Petty was one of the most boring performances I’ve seen in a long while.
I understand how the NFL is now afraid of any …

MacGyver: Countdown is the fourteenth episode of season one. It’s a very watchable show which has the action contained and rather subdued aboard a cruise ship. The sedentary action is watching Mac and his buddy try to disarm three bombs that have been set on the passenger …

Reaper was a big disappointment to me. I had high hopes for it, but I never made it through the first episode. The premise is very interesting. Parents sell their son’s soul to the devil before he was even born and when he turns 21, it is …

After Aang’s latest trip into the Avatar state, he becomes worried about the lack of control and decides to abandon all emotion. It starts off rather subtle, but becomes more obvious as the episode progresses, until he flat out explains the reasons for his detachment.
Katara is naturally …

When I read the general synopsis of this episode, I didn’t think it would work out that well. The idea of a gigantic traffic jam isn’t a bad one, but it doesn’t exactly scream excitement. As it turns out, this episode managed to turn me around and …

The other day, I was looking for movies on Netflix Instant Watch and came across Space Balls the animated series. Since I loved that movie, I figured I would take the time to watch the cartoon.

Man, I wanted to like this episode more than I did. It wasn’t bad per se, but it had everything going for it, yet the end result was still only passable. Straczynski was writing it, it centered on an ancient world threatening evil, and Slimer had only …

This episode seemed to have a lot going for it. The story follows Mulder and Scully as they investigate a series of murders by seemingly different people who all manage to kill their victims with intercourse so intense that it causes a heart attack. It seems like a …
