Due South: The Wild Bunch
My dogs give Due South: The Wild Bunch eight paws up. They were fascinated by it, especially my oldest dog. She was up by the TV screen for most of the hour. She loves to watch Diefenbacker, the wolf dog, and Dief was the star of …
Bones Season 21 Episode 1 -The Soldier on the Grave
There is rarely an episode of Bones that I don’t like. And this one is no exception. But this one is different from the rest of the episodes this season. Usually there is a mixture of serious things with a lot of humour. This time it was very serious and …

LAs Vegas, The Pilot
My son introduced me to a great cable television series that I had not seen before. It was called Ls Vegas and it is a really good series. I was truly amazed that this was as good as it was.
So my son purchased the first season on DVD …
Cold Case TV Show
If you love Law and Order, you will love this show: Cold Case. It is not about lawyers, but it follows the same idea of trying to put the pieces together to solve a crime. It even comes on TNT where Law and Order reruns play.
The show …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Black Handkerchief TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Black Handkerchief from season 3 was a somewhat entertaining show with definite problems and conflicts. The biggest one for me was actor Ed Nelson. Nelson was definitely a working actor. He did a ton of TV, but the problem here …
The Batman
I think The Batman is a pretty good show. I really do enjoy the show a lot and I think the Batman they have in this version is pretty cool. I must say I did like the voice of batman in the Batman the animated series cartoon from the old …
M*A*S*H: Dear Dad… Three
M*A*S*H: Dear Dad… Three simply refers to this being the third episode where we get a full out letter from Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) to his father. These episodes are always so good to watch. They provide glimpses of life at the 4077th and allow a lot …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Pangs
I’ve seen several Christmas episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer before. But, the episode “Pangs” is the first one I’ve seen that takes place at Thanksgiving. And, for the most part, it wasn’t too bad.
Of course, while I’m all for the spirit of political correctness, watching an episode about …

Beast Wars - Law of the Jungle
Beast Wars - Law of the Jungle is an intriguing episode because it in part deals with the unintended consequences of war and how war sometimes claims the lives of the innocent. This is one of the first season’s more serious episodes and the material actually involves some light …
Adam-12: Wednesday Warrior
Adam-12: Wednesday Warrior is the final episode of the fourth season for this wonderful police drama which stars Martin Milner and Kent McCord as Officers Pete Malloy and Jim Reed. Gary Crosby returns as Officer Ed Wells, and he has an important role in this outing. It …
Judge Judy the TV show
Judge Judy is a pretty good show and there are quite a few things that I really like about it. The first thing would be Judge Judy herself, she is very entertaining and I love her attitude because she is tough and she doesn’t take no crap from anybody …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Gladiators TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Gladiators was from the third season of this hit western series. Though black and white, the half-hour series holds up very well. This particular episode has a great message and is relevant in any era. That’s because stupidity, vainness, and …
Stargate SG1: Watergate Season 4, Episode 7
The first thing that came to mind when I watched this episode was, “That was really weird, even for sci-fi.” Not really a good weird, either. The one good thing? Mayborne is baaaack.
When SG1 tries to depart on a mission, the Stargate shuts down during the …
Lady of the Lake - Upright Citizens Brigade show
Lady of the Lake was the 7th episode of the first season of Upright Citizens Brigade. It is also, to me, the weakest episode of the entire season. This is mainly due to the titular character, the Lady of the Lake: she just doesn’t work as a …
That Girl: Don’t Just Do Something, Stand There
In the revised pilot for the That Girl comedy series, struggling actress Ann Marie meets magazine writer Don Hollinger. From that meeting comes a highly successful, humorous, and thoughtful comedy that thrilled millions for five seasons.
Played by Marlo Thomas, the daughter of Danny Thomas, Ann Marie is an …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Beacon TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 27th episode of its third season was called Underwater Beacon, so named mostly from a piece of equipment deep sea diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) was checking out for the United States Coast Guard.
Though not my favorite stories as a rule, I do like to see the …

Semi-Homemade Cooking With Sandra Lee
Semi-Homemade Cooking With Sandra Lee is a Food Network cooking show. Sandra Lee is a hoot and her food dishes are easy to prepare. The semi-homemade part of her food show title is just that: you can prepare dishes at home with items that are already prepared, making your …
Total Drama Island
OK, I never even heard of the show Total Drama Island until my wife was surfing channels the other day and came across the Cartoon Network. But, after seeing a few episodes of it, I have to admit it is pretty good.
Basically, this is a cartoon featuring a bunch …
Have Gun - Will Travel: High Wire
Have Gun - Will Travel: High Wire was definitely something you don’t see every day in a western, even today. This season one show guest starred Strother Martin as Dooley Delaware, a former high wire walker in the circus. He’s since lost his nerve and goes from …
My family sitcom
Now this has got to be the best ever television comedy series ever made, not just coming out of the United Kingdom, but ever!
I simply love the “Nick” character and reckon the entire sitcom would be a whole lot less appealing without Nick. While all the other characters are …
Sea Hunt: The Stunt TV Show
The Stunt was the sixth episode of the second season of the adventure series Sea Hunt. It guest stars Lisa Gaye as Blaze Green, who wants to be the best swimmer out there. She wants Nelson to race her to Catalina Island. He refuses at first, …
American Idol - Results 5/6/09
Paula Abdul sang her new single, I’m Here for the Music, early on in tonight’s results show for American Idol. I’m not a fan of hers really, but it was nice to see her do something besides offer nonsensical remarks about contestants. I’m just not into the …
WWE Monday night raw TV show
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 …
Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse
I got a chance to watch the new Monk episode Friday night “Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse.” It was somewhat interesting and pretty entertaining.
The case itself was a little too easy to solve. You have a bunch of people dying by mysterious means and each of them has …
Criminal Minds: Penelope
I finally caught this episode on the ION Channel night before last. I missed it the first time it came on which really ticked me off. Which is funny, since I had never really watched Criminal Minds before. So why was I upset? It was …
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Television Show
This is the best show in late night, Period. For many years, up until this recent year, I have not watched a great amount of late night television. Reason being is because its all the same old stuff. Opening monologue, some sort of regular game or bit they run, …
Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares La Parra
Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares La Parra. This is one of our favourite episodes of Ramsey’s Kitchen nightmares as this one is set on the Costa del Sol in a town called Nerja. The restaurant in question is run an English guy who wants to do something different …
Family Guy 100th Episode
I�m not a huge fan of Family Guy. The jokes in it can be funny but they are a bit too crude for my taste. However, when the 100th episode was on the other day, I did decide to give it a chance. And, again, I was disappointed.
The idea …
The X-Files Die Hand Die Verletzt Episode
I can’t say that I loved this episode of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files”. It was not because I found anything wrong with the television show either since I thought the plot was okay, it was written just as good as the other ones and the …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Return of Malcolm Merriweather TV Show
The wonderful Bernard Fox makes another appearance in this great comedy series in April 1964. In The Andy Griffith Show: The Return of Malcolm Merriweather, Fox plays the amicable gentleman’s valet, who comes back to Mayberry to say hello as he makes his way around that part of …
Centennial - an epic mini-series
Centennial, the mini-series, is introduced to the audience by James Michener, the man who authored the novel on which the mini-series is based. It’s an easy and casual way to tell us what is in store.
1795 is when the story really begins with a brave and colorful Frenchman …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: To the Chicago Abyss TV Show
From 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: To the Chicago Abyss concerns some future era when times are tough and food is precious. In fact, apparently very few are left who remember how life used to be, when everyone could go where they wanted and each fruits and vegetables.
I …
Beast Wars - Spider’s Game
Beast Wars - Spider’s Game is an episode that I definitely enjoyed. It is an episode that introduces the fourth new character to the show, the Predicon Inferno. Inferno is a character that I am real fond of, and boy is his entrance ever a grand one! For me, …
The Twilight Zone: A Nice Place to Visit TV Show
Larry Blyden is the main subject of The Twilight Zone: A Nice Place to Visit, which is one of the first season episodes of this great TV series that I’m not very fond of. It’s just not a story that tickles my fancy. There’s nothing particularly wrong …
John Doe season 1 episode 2 Blood lies
Thsi is the second episode of a show John Doe, which is about a man who wakes up on an island without knowing anything about himself but with a wide knowledge of everything else. In the first episode he has seen a woman calling him from a boat but …
House: Skin Deep
I had thought I had seen all the older House episodes until today, when I came across “Skin Deep” on television. And, I have to say it was an entertaining episode.
I am not a big fan of introducing young girls to modeling and this episode did nothing to pursuade …
That Girl: Great Guy
I can’t say that I’m a big fan of That Girl: Great Guy. It’s a show that aired towards the end of the second season and featured Ruth Buzzi, who has a recurring role as Margie ‘Pete’ Peterson. Buzzi is a talented comedienne, but this role really …
M*A*S*H: Hey, Look Me Over
M*A*S*H: Hey, Look Me Over is co-written by Alan Alda and Karen Hall. Hall is one of the show’s few female writers, and she seemed to have come along in the last couple of years and did a few episodes. It’s probably sad the number of female …
The Virginian: The Executioners
When The Virginian aired originally, I just wasn’t a fan. It was a ninety minute show, in color, and starred Lee J Cobb, Doug McClure, Gary Clarke, James Drury, and Roberta Shore. Honestly, the shore bored me. I tried watching it, but I wasn’t attracted to …
From the Earth to the Moon
From the Earth to the Moon was a marvelous and dramatic account of the United States quest to reach the moon. The early part of the quest is focused more on the race with the Russians over who would conquer the moon first, while the second part is …
Hawaii Five-O: Along Came Joey
Along Came Joey is another episode from season one of Hawaii Five-O that I just don’t like all that much, and the reason is that it surrounds boxing, and I’m not a boxing fan. It’s a violent sport, and I don’t enjoy watching people banging on each other, …
John Doe: Blood Lines TV show
John Doe: Blood Lines has our amnesiac center character still confused about his identity. Sometimes, it feels overplayed. Now I realize that being in his position, waking up naked with no clue who I was, would be insane and difficult, but for TV drama, it feels overacted.
One …
