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. …

That Girl: Ann vs. Secretary is a great show. Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) has yet another secretary. Apparently, Newsview has a secretarial problem because they just can’t keep the same gals hired. This professional helper, though, has a mission that doesn’t just include typing and dictation. …

Synopsis: Stewie builds a device that can transport him and Brian between dimensions. However, while traveling, the device seems to malfunction and they are transported at random instead and need to find their way home.
What I liked about this episode: I think the best part of this episode is …

Last night, I was flipping through channels on TV and came across a Star Trek the Next Generation episode that is among my favorites from the series (at least of the ones I have actually watched); Hollow Pursuits.
I like this episode for a couple of reasons. First, it has …

This is a particularly and unfortunately bad episode of the Starhunter television series. I love Starhunter, it is one of my favorite television programs ever produced, but unfortunately this is not one of the better episodes to come from the franchise. It at times verges on the …

Code Geass Episode 8 has the student council being taken hostage by a terrorist group as Lelouch and Suzaku try to rescue them for their own reasons.
This episode was very intense and it was very interesting to watch how Lelouch and Suzaku both handle the situation of seeing their …

The Winds of War: A Novel for Television featurette was a very interesting show to watch. I’m not a big fan of The Winds of War mini-series, but I recognize its popularity and certainly, I did watch it when it had its mammoth run on television years ago. …

This is the first episode of what would become a story arc that spans, for the most part, the rest of season four and part of season five. In this episode, a talent scout arrives from Hollywood to meet and observe Ricky to see if he is the right …

Sometimes, when you have a television series that has a serial plot-line, you end up with a somewhat weak episode that is primarily meant to introduce new plot points for the season.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, “Homecoming” fits this description.
The whole Buffy versus Cordelia for homecoming queen thing …

A judge, a mistress that just happens to be his law clerk, and a wife with a grudge. That all adds up to a new mystery for the detectives on Criminal Intent. It doesn’t help that the DA just happens to be a close personal friend of the judge …

Centennial: The Shepherds, while still high quality, is probably one of the two I’m not that fond of when compared to the others. Again, I want to stress that the quality is top drawer, that the acting is superb, and the story taken from the James Michener mini-series …

This episode is set up very much like “Ice” and “Darkness Falls”. Normally, this would be a good thing. Those were both very good episodes, and I even said that those were prime examples of how to do a one and done monster of the week episode. …

Emerald Point N.A.S. is an ensemble series and there are some pieces of that ensemble that I like better than others. Glenn Matthews is a wimp of a character, and I’m so sick of him; in fact, I wish he wasn’t part of that ensemble. As portrayed …

When George Lass (Ellen Muth) is hit and killed by a toilet seat plummeting towards earth, she is instantly taken as a reaper, one of those post-death individuals relied on to take the souls of people before they die. The quirky series lasted only two season but in that …

Louis Theroux travels to Nevada and enjoys a stay at The Wild Horse Ranch, a legal brothel. As he spends several weeks interviewing those who work and frequent the establishment, he also chips in and manages the phones, working alongside his subjects.
While his more recent efforts have been …

This episode picks up where the season finale left off. Aang is having nightmares about the battle, seeing the ruthless attack from outside himself.
The group leaves the North pole to head to an Earth Kingdom where Aang can continue his training.
When they arrived, I figured they …

From April 1967, The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham was the final episode of the fifth season. After an amusing opening scene with James Drury as The Virginian and a couple of odd and end scenes, including an action oriented chase of a Medicine Bow posse, …

The great Johnny Carson’s legacy lives on in a DVD collection called Stand-Up Comedians. Actually, Carson pretty much just does the introductions here. The emphasis is very much on the group of comedians who performed monologues. Other DVD collections highlight Carson’s mastery, and those are the …

Last night’s episode of Law & Order SVU ended up being a lot like most of them; an interesting case but, for some reason, felt like something we had seen before.
This time around they are investigating the rape and homicide of a teenager who is found in a sleazy …

So Kim had been dating her baller boyfriend Reggie for a year, and decided to surprise him with a calendar…..a very very interesting calendar with rather raunchy photos. The calendar was supposed to be a surprise..but her mother had other plans. Kim had the calendar delivered to her mom’s …

Now that I’m watching all the Gilligan’s Island episodes again for the first time in a while, I finally got a chance to see one of the ones I haven’t seen in a long time; Home Sweet Hut.
I think this is the second episode in the series and involves …

The Andy Griffith Show: Bringing Up Opie is the final episode of the first season of this wonder family comedy, and the focus is on the Taylor family and specifically young Opie, played so beautifully by Ron Howard. In this show, Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) suddenly decides that …

After a hilarious discussion on the balance of obscenities in rap lyrics; Krazee-Eyes secretly shares information on his unfaithful behaviour with Larry, which Larry quickly assumes to be common …

Cowboy Bebop Episode 11 begins with the crew of the Bebop travelling through space while waiting for there to be more news on bounties. Jet finds an old fridge in the corner and then members of the crew start getting sick for some strange reason.
This episode was …

Tales from the Darkside was a horror anthology show that ran in the early 1980s to the 1990s. It was kind of corny and hokey, but it was still a lot of fun. Set up like the twilight zone, it had a different story every week. A case of …

Laramie: The Lawbreakers is a really entertaining episode with some neat humor in it. It all surrounds Judge Barnaby Cade, a convicted robber about to be released from jail. Years ago, his gang got away with a lot of money that has never been found. The …

Eh, saw yet another Law & Order SVU episode last night, “Transitions” and, once again, I find myself very unimpressed with the show.
It’s not really the writers’ fault. It’s just, after so many seasons and so many episodes, it’s very hard to come up with something that is going …

I love the Star Trek’s Favorite Moments featurette which allows us to get a look at some of the Trek performers and what it is that attracted them to this science fiction series. Michael Dorn, Ethan Phillips, and Tim Russ all spoke about how they watched Star Trek …

When I was younger, I used to watch the show Married with Children; mostly because it came on after the Simpsons. But, after a while, I did stop watching it. Recently, however, I have found it in re-runs on the weekend and have gotten hooked again.
I discovered yesterday that …

I honestly believed that the absolute last thing this world needed was another doctor show. I have honestly always found doctor shows boring due to the fact that they are entirely set within hospitals which just do not provide an aesthetically pleasing view of scenery. I can’t stand watching …

This is one of the confusing episodes in Criminal Intent history because the story tends to jump around quite a bit and involves a number of different characters, some of whom only appear for a few minutes. The episode opens on a reporter who is being yelled at over …

From 1961, the third year of this classic science fiction series, The Twilight Zone: The Shelter is another one that focuses on the human condition; specifically, the desire to survive no matter the cost.
The setup has a bunch of neighborhood friends enjoying dinner together as they celebrate one of …

There are spoilers so be aware of that before you read the review.
When the episode opened and we saw a chubby man talking to a clown doll, my first thought was “Is that Toyman?”. The answer is affirmative. Like Dan Turpin did a few weeks back, the …

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 …

I really loved this episode. I did not care much for the first case, not because it wasn’t interesting and not because it was not important, but because of all the emotional story behind in. I don’t like it when the writers write some extra sentimental or righteous scenes …

I used to watch the Simpsons Tree House of Horror episodes on an annual basis; as part of my Halloween celebrations. But, the more recent episodes of the series really ruined the experience. The last one, Tree House of Horror XVIII is a good example of this.
The problem with …

Arachnophoia is one scariest movies I have ever seen. I saw it as a kid. And at the time I was very scared of spiders. This movie only made my fears worse. The thing about this movie was that the spider killed people and were very dangerous. That and the …

One of the things I’ve always remembered about the filming of The Twilight Zone: Third from the Sun is how the show is filmed. It’s the camera angles that really give it a warped feel. It’s vital for the story and it puts the viewer off guard.
The …

The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie Comes to Town is the show where widower Andy Taylor gets himself a girlfriend in the form of new druggist, Ellie Walker. Elinor Donahue, who viewers watched grow up on Father Knows Best, plays the lady pharmacist, who has come to Mayberry to …

This sixth season of Supernatural has really started off with a horrible start. All of the things I loved about Supernatural seems to have been changed around on me, where now I am feeling as though the show is missing the vital essence of what had made it so …

The best line to come out of Stargate SG-1: Pretense, a season three episode, may be the one uttered by Jack O’Neill when he looks back at the new Stargate built by the Tollan. While Daniel was just amazed by the technology, that the Tollan were able to …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Something to Live For is episode 14 of the second season of this western. Richard Boone stars as the sometimes playboy, sometimes gunfighter, Paladin, who hires his services out for a fee.
In this particular episode, Paladin is headed out for a job when …

M*A*S*H: Communication Breakdown is one of only a few episodes penned by a woman. In this case, it was Karen Hall who gets the writer’s credit for this tenth season episode. Series star Alan Alda directed the episode. Both did great jobs.
There are two subjects in …

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 60 has Ed and Al facing off with Pride while May tries to take on Father. Meanwhile the Ishvalans are preparing a transmutation circle to help Scar.
This episode was incredible. The twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat and …

Yet another great chapter in the popular crime investigation show. This time a dishwasher is brutally murdered in the parking lot when coming back from work. He was kicked to death by a gang of hooded teenagers. His wallet and cellphone were stolen. Half an hour later, a female …

The Virginian: Dangerous Road was interesting to me mostly because the main guest star was Robert Pine. Pine became a household name to me when the TV series, CHiPs aired on television. The funny thing is that I didn’t even recognize him. I’d never seen him …

The era ends here for Stargate SG-1. It’s the end of the season, the end of a dreaded story arc, and it’s the final appearance of Richard Dean Anderson as a regular. It’s also the end of this reality, which I’ll explain at the end.
Stargate SG-1: Moebius …

I was looking forward to last night’s Ghost Hunters episode “Little Drummer Boy” but, after watching it, I have to be honest with you. It was very forgettable when compared to some of the great episodes the show has produced.
The first case had them investigating an old church that, …

This season three episode of Stargate SG-1, called A Hundred Days, is one of my least favorites ever. While parts of it are well worth watching, I just don’t buy into much of what happened and most especially the final scene.
In Stargate SG-1: A Hundred Days, the team …
