House, M.D.
I watch a lot of television, probably more than I should. But it is rare that I find a prime time program that piques my interest enough to stick with it. I had pretty much given up on trying to find a good show to watch and had resigned …

Entertainment Tonight
There was a time when Entertainment Tonight was a viable, worthwhile entertainment news magazine. I actually saw their first show, so I’ve witnessed a bunch of changes in format, tone, and hosts. While change is sometimes good, it’s also sometimes bad. Right now, when I think …

M*A*S*H: War Co-Respondent
In the past, Mike Farrell, who plays B.J. Hunnicutt, has written some episodes and he’s directed one or two, but I believe M*A*S*H: War Co-Respondent is the first one that he both wrote and direct. It centers around guest star Susan St. James, who appears as Aggie O’Shea, …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 14
Well, what do we have here? A episode that provides an summary of the last episodes up till this point. This is the elusive recap episode that every series has for reasons that are beyond even me. Well, at least Neon Genesis Evangelion makes it in an original format. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hanging Cross TV Show
From season 1 of Have Gun - Will Travel, The Hanging Cross was a magnificent holiday show. Written by Gene Roddenberry, this was a very different Christmas experience. In fact, the entire structure of the show was innovative in that it deviated from the standard opening.
The …
ICarly TV Episode: I Cook
Synopsis: Carly and her friends are challenged by a famous chef and end up outcooking him. They are thrilled (especially Sam, because the prize is steaks) until the chef feels sorry for himself and quits.

M*A*S*H: Baby, It’s Cold Outside
It’s really cold in Korea during M*A*S*H: Baby, It’s Cold Outside. While the doctors try to save some hypothermic patients, they also try to stay warm. This particular story element is another example of decent comedy mingling with decent drama and making for a decent half-hour of …
Comedy Central Roast of Rosanne
Over the years that I have watched the Comedy Central Roasts, I have liked some and disliked others. Most of the Roasts have not been very amusing with one or two funny comedians who graced the stage, while others are just down-right terrible. I did want to see the …

Daytime TV: The Young and Restless

The Fall Guy: The Rich Get Richer TV Show
I mentioned in my last review for The Fall Guy that one of the things that is ironic about this show is that it focuses on a stunt man and as a result we see some incredible stunts. At the same time, it’s not really fictional stunt man …
Wagon Train: The Bleeker Story
This is a non-Robert Fuller episode of Wagon Train, except for a piece of stock footage inserted at the tail end of the show for comedic effect. The man had a great contract, that’s for sure. The Bleeker Story is the story of a family that Duke …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device TV Show
From July 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device is actually a pretty interesting story, though there are elements that I’m not as fond of. What happens is that two men, disheveled and obviously down on their luck, are traveling along a desert highway …

M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye
Outside of the upcoming Blood Brothers episode which I consider to be tops all the way around, M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye is the best of the ninth season. It’s a show that starts out in an unsuspecting style with Hawkeye Pierce waking up in the middle of the …

Stargate SG-1: Descent
The weirdest thing about Stargate SG-1: Descent is that I don’t understand why Major Davis (well played recurringly by Colin Cunningham) is on the mission with SG-1 and Jacob. Apparently, he’s got some scientific reason for being on board, but the man is supposed to be the Pentagon …
American Gladiators (Jan. 7 episode)
While I have written how much I love the idea of American Gladiators returning to television, after watching the Jan. 7 episode of the show (the third overall), I’m finding myself questioning whether the contestants are winning fair and square.
First of all, the winners are a little too likeable. …
Mike & Molly: Pilot TV Show
The pilot for Mike & Molly aired in mid September 2010. This is one of the new crop of comedies that I decided to try out and see if I was missing something. The answer across the board is pretty much a resounding no. The jokes …

Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Race
Close to perfection: that’s what Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Race is. This second season episode is pivotal to the Stargate SG-1 lore, and it’s extremely well done.

No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Earthquake TV Show
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Earthquake deals with an earthquake that wasn’t and JJ Powell’s refusal to be honest with his parents about his powers.

Project Runway
I absolutely love this show! I’m not a fashion diva by any means. I hardly know anything about real fashion. I wear jeans and sneakers most every day. I can still tell what I like and think looks good though!

CSI New York Season 3 Episode 12- Silent Night

Fireball XL5: Planet of Platonia
On the DVD set, Fireball XL5: Planet of Platonia is actually the third episode, so I don’t know if maybe it was produced early and saved for a later airing or what. It aired as episode 13 in early 1963. It’s possible the DVD order is just out …
That Girl: The Earrings
Ted Bessell is an absolute hoot in The Earrings episode of That Girl from season three. It’s one of those shows where he really gets to stand out and show off some of his personality. This is the Valentine’s Day show, and Don surprises Ann with diamond …

Supernatural 4.17 It’s a Terrible Life
I’ve maintained for some time that Supernatural is one of the best shows on TV. It’s up there with Venture Bros. for me. This episode was a fine example for that. It was funny, had great character moments as well as being creepy.
It was a …
