The latest edition of Shatner’s Raw Nerve featured psychic John Edward. This is the show where William Shatner has a one-on-one casual and unscripted conversation with someone, in this case Edward. I’ve found many of these shows to be pretty fascinating. This may be the first …

I cant understand how a show can never air a bad show. How you never get tired even watching repeats. Thats the show Law and Order SVU. Every show keeps you guessing to the end and then the end was never even the way you guessed …

It’s another two-part episode for this hit comedy series. That Girl: I Didn’t Have the Vegas Notion Part 1 has Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) co-starring in a play in Las Vegas, so Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) goes with her for the opening night. It starts out with …

I started watching this show last year once I turned the TV on one day and this show was on. I never thought I would like it because on the promos all I saw was Chef Gordon Ramsay yelling at people, and I thought, “Who would want to watch …

As folks who know me are aware, I’m not a big fan of Stargate Atlantis for many reasons, not the least of which is that I hold it responsible for the deterioration of quality on Stargate SG-1. Now that I’ve said that up front, here are both the …

Have I mentioned how much I hate Slimer and how much he annoys the bejeezus out of me, being an albatross around every episode? I have? Oh, OK then. One has to wonder what the logic behind this was. If one Slimer is incredibly annoying, what …

From what I’ve read, this episode got mostly negative reviews. I’m not sure why. I mean, yeah, the opening makes it clear that the machine is responsible (though I’ll take that over teasers that don’t imply anything out of the ordinary) and it was a tad formulaic, …

Brothers and Sisters is a television show about families. At first glance the show appeared to me to be dull, another soap opera style drama on prime time. After watching a couple of episodes I was engrossed.n The premise of the show is that a large …

From 1988, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl is one confusing show. It’s not terribly exciting; rather, it’s just plain weird. We are presented with a man named Acton (Michael Ironside) who kills another man named Huxley (Robert Vaughn). It’s …

The Twilight Zone: The Dummy is another episode of this science fiction series that doesn’t appeal to me. I tend to turn it off if it comes on TV. All of these shows with ventriloquist dummies all tend to be a little too out there because …

John Adams: Peacefield is the seventh and final installment of this HBO mini-series that dealt with the life and times of John Adams, as played by Paul Giamatti. His wife Abigail was portrayed beautifully and painfully by Laura Linney in what I think is her best performance ever. …

With all the hype surrounding the premiere of the television series Outlander, I honestly thought that it would have been something that I might enjoy. This was especially after I discovered that it would be set between post World War II and that the plot would contain elements of time …

Honestly, I’d forgotten just how much Meeno Peluce cried during the Voyagers! series. He could compete with Doris Day, June Allyson, and Margaret O’Brien for being able to turn those tears on and off. It’s amazing. However, it’s not the best crier. He’s just able to …

Anyone who has kids (especially girls) is probably familiar with Dora the Explorer. And, it is definitely one of my daughter’s favorite programs.
