The Andy Griffith Show: A Deal Is a Deal is a classic episode that has some very enjoyable moments. The main point of the plot has young Opie Taylor and his pals trying to sale a product called Miracle Salve. I’m sure many readers remember seeing ads …

Just as “Midnight” focused on the Doctor and featured Donna in a minimal capacity, so too does this one focus on one character while leaving another one on the sidelines, though this time it inverts that formula. The focus is on Donna and the episode takes a look at …

The pilot for the new TV series, The Whole Truth, was just okay in my opinion. The show features Rob Morrow as a fast paced defense attorney, along with Maura Tierney as the lead prosecutor. This gives the viewer both sides of the story, so to speak.
At …

One of the fun things about Stargate SG-1: Covenant is that it guest stars Charles Shaughnessy as Alec Colson, a wealthy businessman who is a believer in the public knowing the truth, and while he may not fully know the truth, he knows it’s out there. I love …

Earlier this year, I was gifted with The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set, which contains all 65 episodes of the science fiction series on 5 DVDs. I’ve just finished reviewing the episodes, so now it’s time to take a look at the DVD set itself.
There are plenty of highs …

This review is for the fourth installment out of five called Titanic: The Mission. The documentary production was made by the British and had the unique stance of honoring the engineers who built the Titanic versus simply doing a tribute to the disaster itself.
The biggest focus of the …

Picking up on the cliffhanger from the previous episode, this takes all the momentum gained from its predecessor and manages to keep moving at a brisk pace. It manages to tie up all the loose ends and manages to up the scale of the show.
This episode had a …

I was really looking forward to watching this episode again. Brad Dourif is awesome and his guest appearance here was one of the first performances that introduced me to him. I was expecting him to be a total show stealer. Interestingly enough, he wasn’t quite the …

The only real problem with the Dancing with the Stars results show for this 200th Performance week, the 7th week of the current season, is that it had to deal with election results break ins. I strongly suspect that is why the normal hour allotment was changed to …

I haven’t seen the show Bones since Zack turned out to be a killer and no longer appears on the series. So, last night, while watching the newest episode “The Man in the Outhouse” I had to do some catching up.
Overall, this wasn’t a bad episode; though I have …

I have a very big problem with Tales of the Gold Monkey: High Stakes Lady. The difference between this show and Bring ‘Em Back Alive, which totally butchered the subtle love affair between its leads, was this show is that in this series, the leads were a tad …

I am shocked that women would allow their young girls to parade across television screens and stages in such adult, provocative clothing. This reality television show follows little princesses (kid beauty contestants) in their quest for crowns and cash. THe mothers on the show are not as …

Now this is an intriguing show. The Prisoner: Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling gives star Patrick McGoohan a bit of a rest. Most of the show, his mind is in another man’s body, so all we hear are his thoughts. That’s a nice way …

I discovered Dexter the television series when I was in the United States for training when my officemate cajoled me into watching it with her. I was a bit curious when she told me that this was about a serial killer of serial killers. And so I sat down …

It’s the guest stars who make Blacke’s Magic: Address Unknown work for me. They are an interesting collection of talent. Sam Groom, who has from time to time been confused with the more successful Sam Elliott, has a nice role here as Dale Richmond, friend of Alexander …

Stargate SG-1: Last Stand concludes the action begun the week before in the episode entitled Summit.
Here Daniel, or Pajama Boy as many have teased based on the outfit he wore, has gone undercover at a System Lord summit with the unrealistic goal of releasing a toxin into the air …

This episode is a gem. If ever there was a doubt in anyone’s mind that this show ruled, this episode eliminated it, all of it.
I mean come on, it’s a lavish superhero musical with a villain voiced by Neil Patrick freakin’ Harris. What more do …

In some ways, Star Trek: Errand of Mercy reminds me of an episode of Stargate SG-1 called The Nox. While the Organians of Star Trek don’t have the odd look of the Nox from SG-1, these stories are essentially the same. It makes me wonder if SG-1 did …

Highway Patrol: Hot Dust, a third season episode from 1957, was quite interesting to watch. It concerned a young man named Harry Wells. He accidentally spills a container of radioactive material and then he panics. While he picks up the canister and places it in a …

I was watching Bones yesterday afternoon and came across a good episode “A Boy in a Tree.”
The reason I liked this episode is you have a big mystery that needs to be solved. Was the son of a diplomat murdered, or did he simply kill himself by hanging himself …

The Time Machine is the eight episode of the Upright Citizens Brigade’s first season, and this is an episode that really highlights some of the best aspects of the show. Unique ideas drawn to absurdity (for example the whole “hole in the sheet” thing), hilarious sketches and all …

Project Runway: A Look in the Line had an element that I’ve missed since the cancellation of Models of the Runway. On that show, the designers always picked their models for the next week and much of the time, they were told they had to pick new ones. …

One of the notable things about Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth is that we actually hear an alien language being spoken. Most of the time the aliens have been speaking English. Of course, that’s standard practice for science fiction series, but that is precisely why it sticks out …

What not to wear, after 250 episodes, somehow manages to still be one of my favorite things to watch on television. In each episode, one fashion challenged person is nominated by his or her friends for a trip to New York, a fashion consultation with Stacy London and …

From 1959, Confession was the 36th episode to air in the final season, its fourth, of the police drama, Highway Patrol. This half hour series starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as his number one helper of sorts, Sergeant Ken Williams. For me, …

Although at the time of this stage show, the League of Gentlemen were perhaps best known for their television program of the same name; they had their beginnings, like a great deal of comedians, on the stage. And, once you’ve taken the time to enjoy this live show, you’ll …

The show Dancing with the stars is a really innovative idea for a talent show. It displays dancing talent of stars that are not dancers. But by the end of the show you wonder why they dont become one. Everyone becomes a professional dancer. You …

Laramie: The Legend of Lily is an episode that focuses a lot on Jonesy, played with style by Hoagy Carmichael. Jonesy is completely star struck by Lily Langtree, who is coming to town to give a performance.

Perhaps it’s because everybody could …

It’s hard to believe the fictional detective Adrian Monk has solved 100 cases. But, it was only fitting to celebrate that milestone on Monk’s 100th episode last night. And, I have to say it was one of the better episodes that’s been on in recent history.
The great thing about …

Clean Kills And Other Trophies featured Raymond Massey and included Herbert Jefferson Jr. and Tom Troupe. A big part of the story revolves around hunting, and since I’m against hunting, it’s a little disturbing. This is especially true in the opening scene which takes place in Massey’s …

For a western, The Virginian did do some very different things. For example, The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day includes a day at the lake with visitors in their swimming suits. Not only that, but the opening scene includes a phone call in Denver. A western …

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 …

This was actually the first episode where I managed to resolve the case before the two secret agents Myka and Pete. In two previous episodes they tried to stop Macpherson, Artie’s ex partner from stealing artefacts but they didn’t manage to arrest him.
In this episode we learn why Macperson …

An intriguing little episode from the first season of Due South is called The Man Who Knew Too Little. I like the plot about a witness to a crime who at first admits he saw what happened and can identify the villains. In reality, though, while he …
