Have Gun - Will Travel: The Long Night
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Long Night is definitely one of the best episodes from the first season of this western. I really enjoyed it. It kept me guessing and was exciting. I honestly can’t say that the heavy last minute, and it really was …
Boston Legal
Boston Legal stars James Spader and William Shatner
This show could have easily been another dull lawyer show but these two actors and the weekly introduction of weird characters make this a comedy hit. I remember The Practice and seeing James Spader introduced to that cast list. …

TiVo HD DVR
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 …
Stargate SG-1: The First Ones
Excellency returns to SG-1 in season four. In the midst of ogling and soap operaesque episodes, Stargate SG-1: The First Ones is a delight. It’s angst, action, drama, and it has heart. It’s about friendship and teammates. It’s a lost teammate, and SG-1’s absolute determination to …

If you watched Life on Mars last year then you will surely be watching this and it is proving to be just as enjoyable.

Ang Dating Daan
I started watching this show last year when I was browsing on the TV channels and could not find a sensible show to watch. Ang Dating Dann caught my attention not only because it was very informative but it opened my eyes to a lot of things. I like …
Law & Order SVU: Trials
I ended up taping the new Law & Order SVU season premiere “Trials” Tuesday night and finally got a chance to watch it yesterday afternoon. While it wasn’t a bad episode, I do think the series might be starting to decline a bit.
This episode focused on a young boy …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: New Fish in Town
Synopsis: A new neighbor moves by Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward and, realizing the neighbor is as stuffy as he is, Squidward attempts to keep the new neighbor to himself and convince him to remain in the neighborhood.

Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Cat And The Canary
“The Cat And The Canary” is the 14th episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited, which aired on the Cartoon Network and is now available on DVD. This was a passable episode with some large holes in the plot. However, it did give the viewer a …

Vampire Diaries show
Vampires seem to be all the rage these days. Starting with Twilight, there was this major trend toward literature, TV shows, and movies all about vampires. Stephanie Meyer started a crazy fad that has strangely held strong for awhile now. True Blood was HBO’s attempt to market the vampire …
Ghost Hunters: Rocky Mountain Hauntings
Once again, I ended up staying up late to watch Ghost Hunters (because the first airing of the new episode is on at the same time as Law & Order SVU so I end up watching the encore showing of it). And, I ended up a bit disappointed.
Well, actually, …
Medium: Means and Ends TV Show
Medium: Means and Ends was not a favorite outing for this series. It seems to me that this year has been very hit and miss. The show was barely renewed for this season, and I fear this could very well be the last if things don’t pick …
Fearne and Paris Hilton
Fearne and—¦.Paris Hilton is an episode of Fearne Cotton’s new show where she spends some time with a different —˜it’ girl in every show. Fearne is a down to earth British DJ and television presenter and you would expect her to be quite straight talking about the subjects …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device TV Show
From July 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device is actually a pretty interesting story, though there are elements that I’m not as fond of. What happens is that two men, disheveled and obviously down on their luck, are traveling along a desert highway …
Remington Steele: Steele Belted TV Show
From season one in November 1982, Remington Steele: Steele Belted was fairly interesting. It began with Steele’s condo being ransacked, though Laura Holt doesn’t seem to care. It’s not until he ends up in the middle of things himself, that Holt lets Steele in on the current …
IRT Deadliest Roads: Freefall Freeway TV Show
With the success of Ice Road Truckers, it makes sense that there would be a spin off of some sort sooner or later. Apparently, now is the time. Debuting right after the season finale of Ice Road Truckers, IRT Deadliest Roads: Freefall Freeway includes my favorite, Lisa …
Two and a Half Men

Heroes TV Series
About a month or two ago I was kindly asked to tune in to NBC on a Monday night at 9pm EST to watch am episode of Heroes, where, some human beings had super powers. Typical of a comic book and the inter weavings of story lines, short plots …
The Fall Guy: Three for the Road TV Show
The Fall Guy: Three for the Road did have its moments, and most of those included recurring guest star, Judith Chapman. She’s a terrific actress, no matter what role she takes on. Her Kay Faulkner actually annoys me off and on, but she’s well done and very …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 5

Coffee, Tea or Me? movie

Mayday Season 3 Episode 2 TV show
I really enjoyed this episode of mayday, just like many of the other episodes. You can easily tell just how much good work is put into each and everyone of the episodes. But I think that this episode stood out even more than the rest. The best thing …
House: Broken
I had some concerns about the show House when I found the first episode “Broken” was going to focus solely on Hugh Laurie’s character while checked into a mental institution. But, after watching the 2-hour season premiere last night, I will say I was impressed by it.
The episode does …
The Veil: Jack the Ripper TV Show
Boris Karloff’s 1958 anthology series, The Veil, took on yet another different tactic in the episode called Jack the Ripper. This is the first episode of the series where Karloff didn’t even have a small role in the production. All he did was host the show. However, …
Due South: Call of the Wild: Part 2
The bad thing about Due South: Call of the Wild: Part 2 is that it separated real Ray Vecchio from Constable Benton Fraser. With Vecchio recovering from being shot, that left Fraser and fake Ray to go after the villain of the piece, and that’s not really what …
37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards TV Show
What can I say about the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards that were recently held in Las Vegas, Nevada? Well, there’s not a lot of good to say. The daytime genre is dying, a victim of cable and technology as well as the lack of inventive …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Fight at Adobe Wells TV show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fight at Adobe Wells wasn’t one of my favorite outings for this particular western show. The half-hour didn’t flow for me. In many ways, it just felt like another story with nothing special in it to even make it memorable.
Richard Boone’s Paladin …
MacGyver: Jack of Lies
I don’t like it, and I’ll say that up front. MacGyver: Jack of Lies is the first appearance of the Jack Dalton character. This guy is the same kind of character that Tom Selleck dealt with on Magnum P.I., the annoying chum that he can’t help but …
VH1’s Brooke Knows Best

House Hunters
AS someone who spent years selling real estate in one of the toughest markets in the country, New York City, it is only natural that I would gravitate to a real estate show, but it is one that anyone would enjoy. One thing that I like, as long as …
X-Files season one: Ghost in the Machine TV show
the X-Files was a very successful science-fiction/horror television show that ran in the 1990s.

Mulder played the die hard crusader to uncover paranormal secrets while Scully …
Tiny & Toya (BET)
I know that only one episode of this show has gone by. But I am really ashamed that this is what young black are aspiring to become these days. I have nothing against either young lady. I can see the pop culture appeal of showcasing …
Opportunity Knocks
Opportunity Knocks is the latest in the family game show business. It’s probably doomed, because I really like it. It’s wholesome fun with loving families getting a chance at some much-needed cash, as well as extra prizes. To succeed on this show, your family has to …
A Taste for Death - Part 5
I enjoyed the early portion of A Taste for Death - Part 5. I liked the opening, out on the lake, in the rowboat. Some of the outdoor scenes in this taped production are the best. This mystery continues with Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) still …
That Girl: My Sister’s Keeper
One of the best shows of the entire That Girl series was this third season show called My Sister’s Keeper. I’ve remembered this episode from the very first time I saw it, and in fact, I remember some of the publicity from it when it originally aired.
The co-producer …

Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost
Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost is a story from the final season of Wagon Train. It’s a little unusual for a western to have this type of story. I think it was perhaps their strange attempt at a Christmas tale since the story aired in Mid-December of …
