One of the shows presented during Have Gun - Will Travel’s fifth season on the air was entitled simply, Lazarus. It’s actually an appropriate title, based on what happens to the main guest character, Boise Peabody. Boise is a colorful character, played by Strother Martin.
Richard Boone, however, …

I love The Biggest Loser. My mom and I watch it every Tuesday together. I find it motivational. It does get frustrating, however, if you’re trying to lose weight with the show because they lose so much because all they do is exercise every day. I have learned, however, …

Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) celebrates a birthday in Diagnosis Murder: The Busy Body from season two. What this really does is give the show a chance for some slapstick type comedy. This occurs when a policewoman shows up and slaps handcuffs on Mark, only she’s really …

Have Gun - Will Travel: First, Catch a Tiger was the first show of the season for year number three. I love how it starts, with Paladin playing chess against himself. He tells Hey Boy that he doesn’t like doing that because “I always know what I’m …

I was as excited as any fan for the return of Battlestar Galactica, but I also knew that this first episode wasn’t likely to be a fun episode. That isn’t to say that it isn’t good, it was an excellent episode, but I can’t say that I enjoyed it.
This …

I finally got an opportunity to watch the show Lie to Me last night. I’ll confess, coming in on a series in the middle of it, really did create some confusion for me as to who the characters were. But, from what I can tell, the show is definitely …

As is the case with many other viewers of ‘The Wire’, the next project undertook by David Simon was to be met with equal parts enthusiasm and scrutiny. The brilliance of ‘The Wire’ ensured there would be lofty expectations for ‘Treme’, but the fact that this show is quite …

I finally got a chance to watch a full episode of Fringe last night (I love DVR because it allows me to pause the show until I get my daughter to bed). The episode, The Bishop Revival, was interesting and a bit creepy.
Basically, they had a Nazi scientist using …

Once every season as a rule, there is a clip show done on Stargate SG-1 which essentially saves on money. It’s a filler show, with little new action. Stargate SG-1: Disclosure was the season 6 clip show, and in this case, the only regular cast member to …

Every year, I keep promising myself that I will not get sucked back into watching another season of “American Idol.” I just get way too caught up in the weekly results aspect of it. I keep telling myself that I will not ride that emotional rollercoaster again.
Then, of …

Star Trek: The Galileo Seven is a good one. It’s another that deals with the issue of prejudice aimed towards Mr. Spock. It’s odd that so many would harbor ill will in his direction, but it’s constant throughout the series. The catalyst for the drama here …

Extreme Makeover is a television series where each week they show 2 people who think they are ugly and want to have an entire makeover. The makeover consists of not only clothes, hair and makeup and weight but of plastic surgery. Unfortunately I think it does …

JD’s gone for good. Interestingly enough, Elliot decides to come in and make an appearance. I’ve noticed that the writing for the returning cast is still pretty spot on, but it’s the new characters who kind of drag it down.
Ok, Lucy is pretty amicable and Cole is pretty …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s 16th show for its fourth and last year on television was called The Lobster Man and aired in January 1968. Starring Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison, my favorite of the series, as Captain Lee Crane, this show …

Just as expected of this great show, it was a really fun and interesting episode. Aside from the investigation, there was some social message as well, but I felt like it didn’t really work well. I think it was a just a little bit over the top as the …

I recently watched Stephen King’s Rose Red on the SyFy channel. It’s in three parts, with the first part being a buildup of the various characters and the backdrop of the story, the second brings in some action, and the third finishes the story with even more action.
…

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Time Bomb is the second episode of the second year that this wonderful Irwin Allen science fiction series was on the air. Following are some observations about this 1965 episode:
–The opening shot in the theme is a bit different in what …

“The Ghost of Maidens Peak” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. This episode has a mysterious and eerie aire to it that I like. It almost feels like a Halloween episode as it features a ghost Pokemon and part of the episode plays out overnight, with a …

I recently started to watch Billy the exterminator on A & E because it was right after Dog the Bounty Hunter which I absolutely love. I think that A & E has a lot of good reality shows, and I tend to watch a lot on this channel. Billy …

Before I started watching Food Network, I had no clue who Bobby Flay was; now I can’t get enough of his cooking or his shows. My favorite show that he has is “Throw down With Bobby Flay.” Bobby will be given a book by a mysterious bike messenger filled …

Quite honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of CHiPs: Supercycle. I’m not sure why, but the idea of this supercycle bothers me. Maybe it’s too Evil Kneivel for me.
One of the reasons the show doesn’t hit me with goodness is that there is too much time …

When I saw this for the first time again recently, I didn’t remember it at all. The show in question is The Twilight Zone: Dust, and I say ‘again’, because I watched The Twilight Zone religiously as a kid, and in the decades of reruns, there isn’t a …

Have you ever seen a toad that is as big as a chicken and has poisonous skin? Neither had I until I watched “Weird, True & Freaky” on Animal Planet. This particular toad, when squeezed or manipulated roughly will secrete a gooey yellowish looking poison that protects …

Season ten is the last for Smallville and this second episode of the year, Shield, further progresses the story towards Clark Kent becoming Superman. In fact, in this outing we get the first real use of the Superman name, and it actually comes from a surprising source.
Now you’ll …

I usually like watching episodes of the classic show MASH. But, the episode Requiem for a Lightweight is one I’m not a huge fan of.
This is the episode that features Trapper getting involved in a boxing match with a giant sergeant from another MASH unit in an effort to …

Recently I watched a vintage Old Mother Hubbard cartoon. This was a U.B. Iwerks product, which means it was done by a respected animator of the era. I actually remember as a young child watching Old Mother Hubbard cartoons on weekends. They were cute.
This golden era …

I really get a kick out of this 1971 episode of Adam-12 called Log 165: Once a Cop. This is the 19th episode from season three and it has some very entertaining story elements, including the fact that our heroes go on foot patrol for a while, something …

This was an interesting episode that wrapped up the Equinox subplot. It ties into Dr. Fate so, as one would expect, this is a pretty metaphysical episode, dealing with the lords of order and chaos as well as remaking the universe.
For only twenty minutes, this was …

Fans of Japanese cartoons- anime- no doubt looked forward to the premiere of the anime Naruto on Cartoon Network Saturday nights. However, devotees of the show are likely to be disappointed by its dub. To those unfamiliar with the process, the original Japanese language track is removed …

The travel channel show, Bizarre Foods with Andre Zimmern, is too great a show to break down into merely one episode. Besides, Andrew Zimmern does the exact same thing in every episode just in different places all over the world. I would have thought that that would be boring …

“Bye, Bye Butterfree” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. Although this is a farewell episode for one of Ash’s Pokemon, Butterfree, I don’t feel it was very effective. This is only the twenty-first episode of the series and Butterfree never was really used by Ash in particularly …

As the third season of Jack Webb’s Adam-12 continues, we get a decent episode entitled Log 164: The Poachers which includes the recurring character of Officer Ed Wells, played to perfection by Gary Crosby. As always, the show stars Martin Milner and Kent McCord as the veteran and …

Stephen J. Cannell is the power behind the 1980 series, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe. For whatever reason, he decided to make the titles extremely colorful and long, as in real long, much of the time. In this seventh episode, I think he outdid himself. The title …
