Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Hostage starts out with one of those cliffhanger scenes, with Buck saving himself from being run over by a truck by clinging to the undercarriage and climbing up. This show loves to do those old movie house devices, making you think there was …

I would have never thought that I would ever be watching TV series such as Revenge. I wouldn’t even give it a chance because just from the first glace it has all the elements I don’t like- an entire cast made out of young and attractive people, everyone is …

Some years ago when I was much younger, there used to be a television series that would come on local TV in the nights called “Crime Stop”. It was a show brought about by the Private Sector of Jamaica whereas brutal unsolved crimes, which were usually murders, were dramatized …

I’ve never seen the mini-series Jack and the Beanstalk: The True Story until tonight, when it was broadcast in its entirety. Overall, it was a good show.
I don’t know if I like how they exploited the deceased Jim Henson by claiming it was his show. I think that was …

Super Mario World - “King Scoopa Koopa” is an episode that I find offers a good amount of humor and action, although I felt its “message” was not really necessary. The message that I am referring to is eating too much greasy fast food and what it can do …

The problem with M*A*S*H: White Gold is that it’s too much of a vehicle for guest star Edward Winter who returns as Colonel Flagg, the rather odd CIA agent who often ends up at the 4077th unit. I was really surprised by how much time Winter got, even …

I’m still watching Scooby Doo Where Are You episodes with my daughter and got to see one I honestly haven’t ever seen before “Mine Your Own Business.”
This one turned out to be halfway decent. The gang is driving someplace (I didn’t catch where when they said it) and, because …

The Prisoner: Checkmate is the conclusion, at last, to this updated renovation of the science fiction show that Patrick McGoohan brought to us in the 1960’s. That show was all from McGoohan’s mind and while it had an ending, a lot of people say that no one really understood …

Well, my wife is once again spending her Thursday nights watching Project Runway on Lifetime. This started last night with the season 8 premiere of the series. And, unfortunately, I think the series is continuing to get worse and worse every year.
First of all, the contestants this year seem …

Lust for Glory is the fifth piece of the six episode documentary about the very popular British comedy team, Monty Python. The documentary is entitled, Monty Python: Almost the Truth - The Lawyers Cut.
Much like part four, Lust for Glory is dealing with a topic I don’t believe …

The Twilight Zone: The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine, episode 4 of the series, was the first to deal with people out of place with the times. It’s a theme that was carried out in other episodes, often involving stage, screen, or television. This episode focused on a …

This hour of The Good Wife, titled VIP Treatment, was interesting because it was self contained in many ways, which honestly surprised me. There was actually not all that much of Julianna Margulies in my opinion. I felt like the concentration of the camera was more on …

My daughter and I ended up sitting down to watch a re-run of The Simpsons last night entitled The Mook, The Chef, The Wife and Her Homer. I have seen bits and pieces of this one before but last night was the first time I finally got to watch …

CSI: New York: Out of the Sky was just a so so outing in my opinion. I wasn’t particularly captivated by the hour or even intrigued. What was disappointing is that the opening teaser had some promise, but then once it was done, it just droned on …

Sea Hunt: Sunken Car begins with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing a survey job where a pipe would be placed later. I like seeing how they link these little opening bits with what ultimately becomes the main focus of the half hour episodes. The survey really has …

I intended on watching a movie last night after the kids were in bed. But, my wife got the TV first and we ended up watching a mini Clean House marathon instead. Fortunately, I ended up liking some of the episodes that were on.
One of them, The Brooks Family, …

Changing Lanes presented its 8th and final show recently. The concept behind the limited series that aired on the BET channel was that Max Siegel had begun a team to participate in the NASCAR series. The team, called Revolution Racing, is designed to help move along the …

Star Trek: Return to Tomorrow is one of the classics in my book. It’s a wonderful hour of viewing because it’s thought provoking and well put together. This is also the first appearance of Diana Muldaur in the Star Trek universe. She’ll appear in yet another …

The Young Rebels: Unbroken Chains offers a bit of a reunion for one of member of the Yankee Doodle Society. Louis Gossett Jr. stars as Isak. He’s now a free man, and he’s working with Jeremy Larkin (Rick Ely), and two others to fight the British, albeit …

This starts out with a funny scene where Jim and his friend are watching the Superbowl, and Jim wants chips. He asks his friend if there’s anymore and is told that they’re out, but when he stands up to get more a lot of chips fall out of his …

I have seen a little bit of the show, “I Love New York”, and a few episodes of “Flavor of Love.” Both shows are completely exploitative of women. And this newest show, “I Love Money” seems to be the worst of them all. …

MacGyver: The Widowmaker begins in a very dramatic and angst-ridden way. Mac has gone mountain climbing with his best friend, Mike, who is a female. Mike brings up their relationship. She wants more from their relationship, but he doesn’t return the romantic feelings. Upset, she …

Jeopardy is my favorite current game show. I like the challenge, because I find shows like Wheel of Fortune too easy. I also like that it asks trivia and knowledge questions. This makes me feel smart when I know the answer. I also like learning …

The Food Network lover that I am, I tuned into this show and was amazed that it wasn’t a “cooking” show per se, but a food styling show. What was interesting is that all the stylists have a heavy background in cooking. But the actual …

I have now watched the first 2 ½ seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and have never seen an episode so filled with emotion as “Consequences.”
This episode takes place right after Faith accidentally kills a person thinking he was a vampire and deals with her and Buffy’s efforts to …

This episode begins with the boys all going out to bring take out home to Penny but they get side tracked when they saw a man they thought was Tv’s Batman, Adam West. They follow him to what could only be the best garage sale for nerds. …

Mayday is a really great documentary series examining real historical occurrences of passenger plane crashes of avoided disasters. The show usually follows the same structure at first they will other set the background to the story or take the viewer directly into the crisis of the situation. This …

Junior Apprentice Episode 6 is the final challenge for the four remaining teenagers who are vying to be appointed as Lord Alan Sugar’s junior apprentice, although the reality is they are getting money and not a job. However, Sugar will be overseeing the large cash award to ensure …

I love The Andy Griffith Show: Those Gossipin’ Men. It’s a story of revenge, lightheartedly delivered, and it’s a hoot to watch. It all begins when Sheriff Andy Taylor teases Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier), Clara Lindsey (Mary Treen), and the delightful Emma Brand (Cheerio Meredith) about all …

Overall, I rather liked Highway Patrol: : Prospector. In this half hour police drama, a prospector thinks he has struck it rich when he ends up with a lot of money, only he didn’t come upon it properly. No, he didn’t steal it, but he finds it …

The August 22, 2010 episode of Big Brother dealt mainly with the weekly nominations. With Britney as the head of household, just about anything could have happened.
The competition to see who were the haves and who were the have nots was fun. It divided the six competing …

I love to watch cartoon shows, as a grownup it seems little childish, but I love to watch cartoon shows, and I can’t control it. In these days I am watching a really funny cartoon show called “Shinchan”.It is a story of a little boy named “Shinchan”, who is …

Her husband, Charles Frank, has already appeared on this series, and now it’s her turn to guest star. The ‘her’ is Susan Blanchard and the show is M*A*S*H: Images. These two met while working on All My Children years ago, and I always notice them when they …

We’re still in 1980, October 3rd to be specific, when Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Death from the Past rolls around. The show began with a teaser that included World War II action in 1945 and an underwater lab of sorts which is being attacked. …

Early yesterday afternoon, I came across a Simpsons episode I haven’t seen in a while; Sunday, Cruddy Sunday.
As a big NFL football fan, I absolutely love this episode. It features Homer and his new friend Wally organizing a trip to the Super Bowl. This, in itself, is a bit …

The plot of That Girl: Those Friars really doesn’t matter. What does matter is the joy of seeing Danny Thomas guest starring on his daughter’s highly successful TV series. He’d done a cameo on an earlier episode that was just delightful, but this part was a little …

This is a Foxtel channel that I love mainly for Eastenders, the poisoness Pauline, scheming Ian and gossiping Dot are fantastic. I watched this show when it first started and I was living in the UK and for the past year (thanks Foxtel) I have caught up …

In the era of videogame popularity, Stargate SG-1: Avatar focuses on that theme a bit. In the story, Earth scientists have been working on using the chairs from season two’s The Gamekeeper to help with virtual training scenarios. These chairs are linked to the brain and learn …

The 34th episode of Sea Hunt’s 4th season on TV was called P.T. Boat and aired in August 1961. The show starred Lloyd Bridges as deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson with guest stars Kelton Garwood as Kendrick Calway and Lisabeth Hush as Linda Calway. Also appearing …

So often we hear about extraordinary missions and fetes accomplished by various military groups. These are bold and daring tasks that most people can barely imagine, let alone accomplish on their own. This is what makes Surviving the Cut a really special TV series. It lets …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fear-Makers, the third episode of the science fiction series, begins with an experiment that goes awry, costing lives and the destruction of another sub that Admiral Nelson (Richard Basehart) had built. It’s all about how far down the subs can …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Dead Man aired originally on cable television on September 26, 1992. These stories all come from the mind of science fiction writer, Ray Bradbury. This particular tale is a very quiet one and is appropriately odd as so many of Bradbury’s stories …

Seinfeld was always one of my favorite TV shows growing up. Even to this day I can watch this show over and over and never get bored of it. I think Seinfeld is a true comedy classic. Seinfeld has classic characters that we will remember forever like Kramer. And this …

Street Hawk: The Unsinkable 453 bored me more than anything else. It started out being about a prisoner who may or may not really be who people thought. From there, it got even more flat for me. There just wasn’t one piece of this episode that …

M*A*S*H: Springtime is a pivotal episode to one of the characters, but it’s also a show with a lot of gaps that make it a bit sub-par. I do like the location shooting here, which really wasn’t much of a location, except that the cameras went outside of …

I’ve come a long way with my tolerance level for Hair Battle Spectacular. While it is still an outlandish show, full of arrogant contestants, it’s not that off par from any other reality show. It just takes a bit of watching to get into the speciality of …

The Twilight Zone: Queen of the Nile is one of the few shows from season five that I enjoy. The main reason for that is the incredible Ann Blyth, who I’ve admired since my childhood. She’s a classic beauty and a talented actress whose career began when …

Well, House’s original team finally left him and the episode “Alone” shows why a genius like him needs to have a group of other doctors around to bounce ideas off of. I guess staring at a board with a bunch of jumbled up information on it just isn’t enough …

Definitely one of the best of the three year run, Star Trek: The Ultimate Computer is terrific. It’s one I’ve never forgotten and it’s a show that has a lot of layers to it. The basic plot is that Richard Daystrom (William Marshall), a one time wunderkind …
