Star Trek: Beyond the Final Frontier TV Show
In 2007 for the 40th anniversary of this terrific, long lasting ideal, Star Trek: Beyond the Final Frontier aired on TV. I remember being excited about it because the two-hour event was hosted by Leonard Nimoy and because they were going to show a ton of Star Trek …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Rivals TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Rivals, from April 1963, isn’t really my favorite show, but it does have some cute moments. I’m just not really into these young love and puppy love stories that much, and essentially, that’s what this is.
One of the most adorable scenes is at …
Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 4 DVD Collection
After purchasing the other 3 seasons on box set I had fallen in love with the way it was layed out and shown so when I brought home this product I was really very excited. I had already watched the whole of this season and couldn’t wait to see …
The Office: The Merger
After so long with Jim in a different branch the show is finally reunited. Bringing everyone from the Stamford branches is great. We get to see what a first day with Michal Scott would be like, as well as watching everyone trying to explain Michal. The best line was …
Celebrity Apprentice Season Finale
Well, after waiting on pins and needles all week tonight the season finale Celebrity Apprentice was shown and I couldn’t be more disappointed. The whole season was exciting and watchers really didn’t know what was coming next but while the season finale promised to continue that them it really …
M*A*S*H: Dear Ma
One by one, the producers are getting around to everyone having a chance to do a letter home show, and this time around, M*A*S*H: Dear Ma is Radar O’Reilly’s turn to pen a letter to his much beloved mother. Gary Burghoff follows the letter throughout the show. …
Discovery channel
Discovery channel is my favorite TV channel. It has got a blend of information and entertainment. I like almost all the programs that r aired on it. My favorites are globe trekker, medical detectors, and many more. Their reception is excellent and hosts are creative and adorable. Most of …
Diagnosis Murder: Standing Eight Count TV Show
If you’ve read my reviews before, you know that one of the themes of TV shows that I don’t like are ones that focus on any kind of hand to hand fighting, such as boxing. These stories do not appeal to me. I tune out early and …
Jeremiah: The Bag
Jeremiah: The Bag provides us with a bit more background on Jeremiah’s past. He, like all of the young people not yet having reached puberty, survived the Big Death which had killed everyone else. For 15 years, these children raised themselves in a world without luxury and …

What I liked about this …
Beast Wars - Deep Metal
Beast Wars - Deep Metal introduces a new Maximal to the series: Depth Charge. In some ways, he seems as if he is intended to take the place of Dinobot, who was killed in the last season because he is more aggressive and eager to fight, he is distant …
M*A*S*H: Operation Noselift
Todd Susman and Stuart Margolin guest star in M*A*S*H: Operation Noselift from the second season of this stellar war comedy set in Korea. Susman plays Private Danny Baker who keeps going AWOL. He’s upset about his nose and wants plastic surgery. Trying to help Baker, Hawkeye …
Medical Comedy: Scrubs
Scrubs is a medical comedy that has held my interest from the beginning. It takes on an easy going, humorous, and sometimes plain crazy look into the lives of the doctors of Sacred Heart hospital. There’s Elliot: a woman just trying to fit in and let loose …
The Girl Who Came Gift-Wrapped
The Girl Who Came Gift-Wrapped is a delightful 1974 made-for-TV movie which stars Richard Long as Michael Green, a wealthy publisher of a bachelor magazine. For his birthday, some friends send him a present — a gift-wrapped girl, better known as Sandy. Karen Valentine plays the bubbly, …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.8 - Fly Away Haim
In the finale of the first season, Haim makes Joanne (wow, she’s back!) breakfast and screws up the kitchen in the process. What a lovely surprise this is for Susie and Feldman when they discover it that way. However, looks like the breakfast was all for nothing as Joanne …
Highlander/The Source
This was not the Highlander we all know and love. The Duncan in this movie was dark and brooding and unsure of himself. The movie was choppy-it didn’t have a good flow. There wasn’t much information about the characters and how they all came together. It didn’t …
Numb3rs TV show
I really enjoy this show - I like the idea of using statistics and other forms of math to solve major crimes, and actually have a friend of mine who works in crime profiling, which I think is pretty cool.
The relationship between the characters is that Don Epps, an …
Sea Hunt: Mr. Big TV Show
From January 1960, Sea Hunt: Mr. Big had deep sea diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing a form of spy duty again, but I didn’t mind this outing as I have some of the past shows that felt more like spy dramas than underwater adventure shows.
In essence, Nelson helps …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Riverboat
This show is so good when it makes fun of itself and classic western moments. This opens up with Brisco County (Bruce Campbell) ready to showdown with some bad guys. Right in the middle of the face off, a boy rides up on a bike to deliver …
Wagon Train: The Old Man Charvanaugh Story
Escorting a family to a settlement, Flint is joined by a concertina playing wanderer who is really a ruthless bandit. McCullough and the family are left to wander without proper clothing or supplies.
Wagon Train was one of the longest running and most successful television westerns. Originally, it focused …
Rome - HBO Series
I mentioned before that it feels like I’m out of good TV Shows to watch. Maybe it’s because it’s summer or because all the series I like came to their closing episode (see Lost). This means I’ve been looking for other stuff to watch and what I’m doing is …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Zero Hour TV Show
This futuristic story that aired originally in January 1992 was called The Ray Bradbury Theater: Zero Hour. Overall, I thought it was a story that began with a lot of potential but then took a wrong turn and ended up a bit sour, at least for me. …
Supernatural TV Series - Season 1
I don’t think I would believe you if you said that you haven’t heard anything at all about Supernatural. It is definitely one of the most popular TV shows at the moment and personally, I am a big fan of the show.
The show is about two brothers - Sam …
CSI: New York Damned If You Do TV Show
Damned If You Do was the third outing for the seventh season of CSI: New York, and I can’t say that I liked their choice of opening song which was a throwback to Miami Vice. It’s so strongly associated with that show that I can’t believe the music …
CHiPs: Aweigh We Go
CHiPs: Aweigh We Go gets it name from the fact that Officers Baker and Poncerello (Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox) put in some duty time at the trucker’s weigh station. It’s not one they are thrilled about, but I like it. I’m for all these kinds of …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Fall of the Blue Beetle!
The intro teams Batman up with the Blue Beetle, not Jaime but Ted Kord. They’re exploring some undefined hideout. The banter between the two was well done, discussing the drawbacks of various gadgets and how no one appreciates the brains behind it all.
The episode opens …
Thriller: Cousin Tundifer TV Show
From the second season of Thriller comes a little episode called Cousin Tundifer with Edward Andrews playing Miles Tundifer. This is somewhat of an eerie comedy, murder with a humorous twist. It’s a tale that brings the past to the present, from time to time, that is.
Here …
Top Shot: Friend or Foe TV Show
Top Shot is the show that pits expert shooters against one another. The competitors are on two teams, the red team and the blue team. In the first three shows, the red team has lost the battles. The focus in this hour was on judgement, utilizing …
Max Headroom: Deities TV show
Airing in September 1987, Max Headroom: Deities brings on the religious angle for those living in the Age of Video, which is when this series takes place. The set up is that the View Age church is getting too popular and will surpass catholics and 700 Club in …
Trigun Episode 3
Trigun Episode 3 begins with Meryl and Milly in Warrens City, still looking for Vash the Stampede, who is also in the city looking for a renowned gunsmith named Frank Marlon. He runs into the town drunk and befriends him; he finds out that the drunk is Frank …
The Third Leaders’ Debate, UK general election campaign 2010
The third and final of the televised leaders’ debates in the weeks before the 2010 British general election was broadcast by the BBC and was primarily (although not entirely) to be on the subject of the economy, which was hardly surprising to me given that the polls consistently show …
South Park - Coon 2 Hindsight
I was not expecting Matt and Trey to touching on the Coon’s story again, but it was a pleasant surprise. I thought it was a funny story to begin with, so having the Coon return was interesting. I am always seem to be …
Undercover Boss: 7-Eleven
The latest episode of Undercover Boss had the CEO of 7-Eleven, Joseph M. DePinto, taking on a false identity to check out just how well his stores really do. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I applaud the CEOs who have the guts to do …
CSI New York Season 4 Episode 21
The beginning of the episode immediately grabbed my attention. It was just so unusual, I have not seen a setting like this used before. There are many shows where a team needs to examine the evidence without access to the lab or in an enclosed environment. But to be …
So You Think You Can Dance - One of Six Voted Off TV Show
Well, actually, the title is a misnomer, and I’m not sure that I agree with the decision for the One of Six Voted Off episode of So You Think You Can Dance.
The five dancing competitors opened the show with an entertaining, Bob Fosse number. I liked this routine, …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Drop TV Show
Sea Hunt: Underwater Drop, which aired in February 1960, was the fifth show of this adventure series’ third season on television. It’s the second show in a row that has dealt with Mike Nelson, deep sea diver and ex-Navy frogman, working with the Coast Guard. Now in …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.4 - Surprise Party
Is it me or is it more than a coincidence that Corey Feldman receives the poster for his new movie, “The Birthday”, on Corey Haim’s 35th birthday? Hmm… Oh wait, this is reality television, everything is like 50% planned or something, right? So yeah, in that case, it does …
That Girl: Many Happy Returns
In That Girl: Many Happy Returns, Ann Marie gets a visit from Leon Cobb, a G-man from the Internal Revenue Service, advising her that she owes a bunch of money for not paying the correct taxes in 1965, which was a few years before. As it turned out, …
Adam 12 - Log 174: Loan Sharks
The third season of the great police drama Adam-12 began in September 1970 with Log 174: Loan Sharks. The first thing that’s really noticeable is the new introduction. This is the one that ends with the police car rolling into a lot right towards the viewer and …
Hawaii Five-O: …And They Painted Daisies on His Coffin
The premise behind Hawaii Five-O: …And They Painted Daisies on His Coffin is that while off-duty, Danny Williams (James McArthur) chases a suspect and ends up shooting him. However, the gun he claims the man has isn’t there, so Williams is accused of a killing him. Thus, …
The Office, season five: Business Ethics
“Business Ethics” is a great low key episode of season five of the Office on NBC. It features a lot of Michael and Holly, and not a lot of Pam and Jim, which is fine. There are so many great characters on this show almost any 21-minute …
Whoopi: What Child Is This? TV Show
Whoopi: What Child Is This? is a combination of political and family humor. It’s better than some other recent shows and part of that might be that it is a political show and that actor Scott Bryce guest stars as a Republican hot shot who works with the …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Wilmer Bass and the Serengeti Kid
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Wilmer Bass and the Serengeti Kid is supposed to be a bit comedic and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
Elisha Cook guest stars and he’s a hoot. He would be a positive reason to watch this episode. He has a wide range …
That Girl - Season Two DVD set
Again, my problem with the Shout Factory DVD release of this show, and others that they’ve done, is how inconvenient the layout is. Since this is only a four-disk set, it’s not as bad as others, but what they tend to do is put two DVDs on the …
Speeders (TruTV)
I wish I could say that I really like this show. But because it’s called “Speeders” you know that no one is going to get arrested (not really.) There will be no high speed chases, lots of cursing, no blood—”or any sort of real drama. …
House TV Episode: The Choice
My wife and I got a bit bored with the series House earlier this year and elected to simply record the episodes on our DVR rather than finding time to watch them on Monday nights. And, they ended up sitting there for quite some time.
We, however, did finally get …
CBC
if you’re a Canadian, then chances are that you’ve heard of cc. It’s basically the “official” TV network in Canada. Since my house has a limited amount of TV channels, I’ve had to resort to going on CBC quite a few times when other channels were showing boring shows. …
House on Fox
House on FOX is one of my favorite TV shows. I love the main character Doctor House even though he can be an insensitive jerk. He is witty and smart and leaves you wanting more. I mainly love the show because of the mystery behind each episode. There …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-14-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer’s second show was on September 14, 2010, and I must say these two women need an infusion of energy and personality. They did at least welcome the viewers this time before entering into their boring interaction. Not only that, but Alexis showed …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Station TV Show
Sea Hunt: Underwater Station was a decent episode. I’m not a big Lloyd Bridges fan and Sea Hunt isn’t really a favorite show or anything, but it tends to come on TV at a moment when nothing else is on, so I’ve been watching it from time to …
