The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Lake aired in July 1989, and it’s turned out to be one of my favorites so far. This is the third season of Bradbury science fiction stories that aired, and it’s been pretty much a love/hate relationship for me. A show either …

This episode of Have Gun —“ Will Travel, the 20th of its fifth season on the air, is done almost as a comedy, though it has several very un-funny moments, one of which is an animal attack. Those are never my favorite scenes and I was glad this …

This episode is from early in the second season, and is where the show started hitting its stride. Of course, by hitting its stride I mean starting to run gags for shock value based on them putting respected members of society in weird situations. In this one, Peter’s very …

I have to admit I’ve never been the biggest Idol fan, generally only watching the early auditions to hear the interesting people that come out. This year, though, I’ve been watching it all the way through. Certainly an interesting year.
The show is good. I can’t compare …

The more I see the show Destination Truth, the more I find myself liking it. None of the episodes have lived up to the first one I watched but they are still pretty close.
Last night’s episode “King Tut’s Curse/Swamp Ape” was probably the best thing I watched last night.
The …

As I have seen most of the episodes of the first season of show Seven days I knew, more or less, what to expect in seconds season. Actually I was expecting some little improvements because it usually happens that way. Then again, the first episode should also be a …

Remember that old show Dukes of Hazard. I loved that show so much. Its been my favorite show since I was 5 years old. It just has something to the TV show that has a great value to me. The old car, the actors or just the fact that …

Stargate SG-1 aired on television for ten years, and it went through some major changes. As someone who prefers the first three seasons, the vintage years as I call them, I wasn’t at all fond of the final two years. Richard Dean Anderson, who played the lead …

Well, last night was the season 1 finale of the show White Collar. Either that, or it was the fall finale, I’m not really sure. Either way, it was pretty decent.

This episode had promise, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to it. It had all the makings of a solid stand alone, isolating the agents, giving them a ticking clock against an unnatural enemy, and even allowing for some character conflict, but the execution wasn’t as good as …

Extreme Couponing is one of those television series that I don’t necessarily love enough to go out of my way to see, but I might watch if a few episodes if nothing else is on. I can imagine that just watching a reality television series about people who dedicate …

This episode is pretty interesting because it shows …

The fourth season was ebbing towards its last fourth when Have Gun - Will Travel brought viewers a show called Everyman. It’s a bit of an odd tale, one mixed in the belief of the tarot cards, which is often controversial.
The San Francisco opening had Paladin (Richard Boone) …

I thoroughly enjoy this series as it remind of such winners as ER and Hill Street Blues. The cast of unknowns and minor experienced actors is just perfect. I enjoy these characters and weekly root for such friends as Sully, Faith, Carlos, Kim, Boscorelli, …

While I can kind of understand where the writers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were going with the episode “Amends” I do think they fell a bit short of their goal and produced a somewhat weak episode.

However one day the mood struck me to get out the DVD and see what all the hype was …

I first heard of the comedic television series “Will and Grace” while I was still in high school. I can’t remember how the discussion started or what it had to do with English either, but it seemed to be the topic of a very animated English class one day …

Gordon Wynn portrays …

Dexter’s Laboratory is a pretty funny show. I think Dexter is cool and he looks really funny. The animation in Dexter’s Laboratory looks like of weird. It has the new look that I don’t really like. I guess it’s because I grew up watching classic animation like bugs bunny. …

From the second year of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Escape from Venice was the fifth show to air. This science fiction program came from the mind of Irwin Allen, and it’s always been a favorite of mine. In this show, Captain Crane gets his …

It’s amazing how one episode on an on-going series could change the relationships of pretty much every character on the show.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Lover’s Walk” is one of those episodes.
This episode shows us the return of Spike, only this time he’s without his lover Drusilla because …
