Now this is more in line with what I’ve come to expect from Babylon 5. The story is engaging and there are several angles to the story. While the episode could’ve gone with the traditional “psi cops are good guys trying to catch the rogue villain” route, …

I have to say truthfully that the absolute best scene from Columbo’s Death Lends a Hand was the very last one. There was this super conversation between Columbo and the father of the murder victim. In that talk, the police lieutenant reveals his mischievous past and his …

Kojak himself, Telly Savalas, was roasted by a dais of entertainers on this outing of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was filmed in Las Vegas. The Man of the Hour took his seat while being honored, zinger style, by those on the dais. Now those on …

There was a time when Sliders was one of my favorite shows on television. A unique science fiction television series, it highlighted the adventures of four travelers as they “slid” between parallel dimensions, trying desperately to find their way home.
These first two seasons are the highpoint of the …

After the downer ending from the previous episode, we get a more light-hearted romp that really thrives on its comedy. The opening leads you to believe that we’re going to have a “companion lite” episode as the Doctor is seemingly booted off of the TARDIS and is unable to …

Every year, Project Runway comes up with an extraordinary challenge for its contestants. Once it was garbage, another time was plants. This year, in the episode Eye Candy, it was candy.
I was a bit disappointed that the majority of the designers used the candy wrappers rather than the candy …

Friday night’s episode of Psych was an OK episode but nothing that was overly impressive compared to other episodes from the series.
This one, which had a great introductory song sung by the group Boys II Men, focused a great deal on Gus and his past; including his college days …

Monday night raw is an awesome show too watch for so many different reasons. The big reason is that this show is full of shocking surprises and great matches. Monday night raw also has something different going on every week and that is have a guess host who is …

I’ve heard about “Burn Notice” that is airing on the USA Network, but I never caught a full episode until tonight, when Michael Shanks guest starred on the show for the first time. Michael is my second favorite actor of all time, so there was no way I …

The season, as well as Eccleston’s run as the Doctor, wraps up as the Dalek’s plan to wipe out all life on Earth. As one Dalek was a formidable threat, thousands of them are a bit beyond problematic, even Rose points this out early on.
Just as one Dalek …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Enemies, episode 29, starts out with a very dramatic teaser featuring a submarine called the Angler. It starts out innocently enough with an order for a course being given by Richardson (Tom Skerritt). Sub captain Williams (Robert Sampson) objects, …

The Boondocks is an adult cartoon that is often showed on adult swim. It is about an African American family that involves 2 young boys that stay with their grandfather. These boys are very bad and get into all sorts of trouble. I like watching this show because it …

It’s a show about romance and misunderstandings, along with Barney’s normal over confidence. That’s what The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt from May 1964 deals with. I actually love the opening scene where Barney and Thelma Lou are window shopping, essentially talking about their …

Bravo Bravo Bravo..you’ve done it again. You have brought back the housewives that started it all back to tv. No doubt, my favourite housewife is Jeanna. I think she’s grounded and the most stable of all the housewives…nonetheless, I cant help but wonder what is Vicki’s problem. One would …

From 1965, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Terror on Dinosaur Island is the 14th show of this second year on the air. The series stars Richard Basehart as Seaview creator, Admiral Harriman Nelson, and David Hedison, who has always been my favorite performer from this program, …

To be up front, …

Not a favorite, The Twilight Zone: Long Distance Call is an eerie episode about an egotistic, possessive grandmother who believes she lost her son to his wife and who has every intention of taking her beloved grandson with her to the grave. There’s no love there; that’s perverted.
Before …

This T.V. show series came out in the 90’s. I really like the girly type of its theme and their fashion forward casts. It’s so colorful. Well, I was younger when this came out so I have less knowledge on what fashion really have too. Cher is your quintessential …

Apollo Wives aired on the BBC surprisingly and covered a reunion of Apollo astronaut wives in Arizona. I’ve watched a bunch of astronaut related programs over the years and this one was very different.
My chief criticism off the bat is that they didn’t identify who was talking as …

The Twilight Zone is a classic television series that has seen many incarnations, but the old ones are the best. The show featured a collection of tales that concerned the supernatural. Often there was a twist ending and a lesson to be learned from each of them. This …

The Andromeda Strain is a television movie that aired on A&E or Arts and Entertainment on Memorial Day of 2008. The movie was advertised for several weeks before it ever turned up on television and they continued to push it as the movie event of the year. Unfortunately I …

The animation is wonderful, the story is lively, and when those two main characters start playing jazz I just can’t help but close my eyes and smile. The anime Sakamichi no Apollon (also known as Kids on the Slope in English) truly is a masterpiece. I am a big …

This episode dealt with a Colonel from Stargate Command who actually fell for the, “You’re a God,” rhetoric that primitive people always spouted when teams came through the Stargate.
Seems another Stargate team was sent to a planet and never returned. When SG1 arrives, they find out from one …

One of the television series that I had begun watching very recently was “Breaking Bad”. While I had heard about it a few times, I had never really considered checking it out until one of my family members who has the same taste in television series like me managed …

This show I would say is an okay show. It’s not the best but it’s not the worst show in the world either. It kind of reminds me of Family Guy, but Family Guy is better. But it sort of does the same thing. It makes fun of normal …

Full House Season 4 is almost when the show tried to “jump the shark”. Granted it was a transitional time for the show as the kids were starting to grow, but things were still a little odd.
Little Michelle was now a toddler, and fully capable of talking. The …

Tales of the Gold Monkey: Shanghaied was a very entertaining outing for this adventure series from 1982. Jeff MacKay is featured in his regular role of Corky, the alcoholic mechanic. Actually, one of the things that is intriguing about this show is the relationship of Jake Cutter …

I ended up watching Home Improvement at lunch today because Hogan’s Heroes wasn’t on. It was a somewhat funny episode: “Mr. Wilson’s Opus.”
Basically, Randy convinces Wilson to direct Romeo & Juliet for their school play and Wilson agrees and Tim agrees to design the set. The only problem is, …

Well, I have never seen The Simpsons Episode Lost Verizon until last night. And, you know what, it was actually a pretty darn good episode.

I’ve been watching a lot of the later That 70s Show episodes lately. But, I have to say the original episodes are still the best. Proof of this is the episode entitled “Eric’s Birthday.”
This is one of the great episodes, before Eric and Donna become a couple (well, actually …

Being in the United States, for a while I wasn’t sure I was ever going to see the finale of The Great British Bake Off. I’d managed to get copies of the first five competitions, but that sixth was elusive until now.
This cooking competition series began with ten …

When I first saw this episode, I thought it would be like all of the other Road to—¦ Family Guy episodes. Just Brian and Stewie running around, nothing with much meaning or humor involved in it. I loved this one. Because Brian …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Anthem Sprinters begins with the finding of a first edition of a James Joyce book by an American writer named Raymond Douglas. He’s played by Len Cariou, who I know as Bruno’s dad in the TV series, Fame. Here, he no sooner …

Masquerade: The French Correction is a pretty decent entry for this hour-long spy that hit the TV screen back in March 1984. However, one of the bad things is that they failed to create new ways of explaining the story. In the beginning, Lavender (Rod Taylor) always …

A short while ago, I commented that the later Simpsons Treehouse of Terror episodes aren’t anywhere near as good as the earlier versions.
I was wrong.
I got a chance to see Treehouse of Terror XV last night and was very impressed with the quality of the Halloween special that has …
