I don’t know when the Simpsons episode “All About Lisa” was made, but last night was the first night I saw it. And, it wasn’t too bad.
There are two interesting storylines in this episode. First, you have Lisa becoming Krusty the Clown’s unpaid assistant and; through a variety of …

I love the OFFICE on NBC. This has been a favorite of mine for several years, and I never miss an episode thanks to DVR! Last nite I stayed up late to watch my recently recorded new episode of The Office, starring Steve Carrell. Wow, it was great! I …

Have Gun - Will Travel: A Snare for Murder starts out with the action right away, so there’s no San Francisco scene, which is disappointing. However, what happens is pretty good entertainment. Right from the start, Paladin (Richard Boone) ends up in a mess. He helps …

Home and Away is a great television show for all ages, however I would say it is mainly targeted at teenagers as most of the characters on the show are teenagers. I have watched this show for 13 years now, I first started when I was 16 years old. …

Stargate SG-1: Grace could have been the show that changed Sam Carter for the better, bringing her out of her school girl crush days and returning her to the strength and glory she had in the vintage years. Instead, it’s just a show that was pivotal for a …

If you haven’t been able to see this show from the beginning, try to see if there are reruns of the previous shows. Even if you come in now, you will get the gist of the show.
It is excellent.
I am not a big TV person. In fact, I was …

John Doe: Past Imperfect is a little strange on the surface. While this series continues to hold my interest, elements of it aren’t as strong as I’d like. For one thing, star Dominic Purcell tends to overact, especially during intense scenes. For me, it feels like …

From the second season of Wagon Train comes The Kitty Angel Story, and it’s a good one. It’s actually the fourteenth episode and it stars Anne Baxter as Kitty Angel. She’s awesome. She just lured me into this story like mad. You can tell quality …

Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Regis Philbin proved to be much more interesting than I thought it was going to be. I loved the opening remark when Shatner said something to the effect of, “We’ve known each other 40 years, but we really don’t know each other.”
Regis talked a bit …

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, …

Pamela’s Voice was written by Rod Serling, the creator and host of this Night Gallery series. It starred Phyllis Diller as Pamela, the deceased wife of John Astin. She appears without her spiked hair. She’s actually very polished in the role of the late wife.
The show …

America’s got talent is a great TV show and I love that the show is very entertaining but one of the best things about this show would have to be the judges. I like the attitude of Howie Mandel because he has a friendly but sarcastic attitude at times …

Directed by Ted Bessell, That Girl: That Meter Maid continues the fourth season of this groundbreaking and liberating television comedy series. I’ve long remembered this episode. It was fun and cute. I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed that Bessell was the director. That made me …

M*A*S*H: Back Pay focuses on Hawkeye Pierce’s (Alan Alda) quest to get paid for his services. He begins by preparing an itemized bill and then sends the charges to the government. It is a pretty funny bit, but the problem is that it really wasn’t a half-hour’s …

I have to say that The Twilight Zone: The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank is not for me. I don’t know why it is that James Best tends to star in so many crazy and offbeat episodes of this science fiction series, but he does. They …

In That Girl: The Rivals, Ann and Don are visiting the Maries in Brewster for the weekend. Everything becomes a competition, though, between Ann’s father, Lou, and Don. Don’s not really trying to get the best of his girlfriend’s dad, but he just can’t help it.

This season nine episode is by far my favorite Friends episode of all time. I think I have seen this particular episode over one hundred times, and I still laugh every time I see it. Shortly after Emma is born Rachel has to go back to work so they …

The Twilight Zone, narrated by Rod Sterling, is a classic bit of television history. It featured a series of one-shot episodes with independent storylines. Each story featured a supernatural theme. Most were about everyday people caught in supernatural circumstances. Most episodes culminated in a twist ending. Many …

I can remember hearing my schoolmates talk about a television show called “Daria” when I was in high school. At that time, my cable company did not give us certain channels, so I was not familiar with the television show. There was even a certain girl at …

I have been wanting to do it for some time now but I’m finally taking the step and getting away from Charter for my television and internet needs.
The thing is, I’ve never been a fan of Charter to begin with. But, I’ve always been nervous about switching to direct …

I haven’t been able to watch the show Hogan’s Heroes on TV Land recently but finally got a chance to watch an episode of it today. And, it turned out to be an episode I hadn’t seen before; “The Well.”
Overall, I feel this episode is one of the better …

This episode was …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Brother’s Keeper, the 33rd show from season 4 of this western program, was written by Jay Simms. I don’t often mention the writers, but I liked the way he constructed this episode. It was dramatic and somewhat whimsical at the same time. …

CSI without the Gil Grissom character just isn’t CSI, but the show is still plugging along. It’s not that it’s bad, it just lacks the zip and zest that Grissom injected into the action. Still, the March 5, 2009 episode called “Turn, Turn, Turn” was intriguing and …

I’ve seen those shows a zillion times, and I have clear cut favorites of ones I enjoy watching and ones that are viewed with reluctance. Star Trek: Charlie X is one of the latter episodes. Nothing against guest star Robert Walker, Jr., but he just annoyed me …

I started watching this show because my friend who works at a casino recommended it too. This show is about Las Vegas casino Montecito.
In this season Montecito has a new owner; her name is Monica Mancuso so when Mike finds a fake chip Ed prefers not to tell Monica …

From season two, the Jettisoned episode of Sea Hunt occurs after Hurricane Teresa. This adventure series tends to use hurricanes a lot to help the plot of a show. In this case, during the hurricane a pilot had released a nuclear bomb into the ocean for safety …

Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 2 is the second episode of season nine, a season I’d just as soon forget, with a handful of exceptions.
Mainly, this episode continues the ridiculous plot of Daniel and Vala being linked because of these bracelets that she found. Neither can stay too far …

Diagnosis Murder: The Plague had some good moments in it. I love shows with angst, but there really wasn’t as much of that as you might think from the title. In fact, in one sense you could say that The Plague was educational, informing the public of …

I absolutely loved the new episode of CSI- Crime Scene Investigation Season 12 Episode 1. The episode had a really good story, but the main reason why it was so good was the addition of a new character on the show. DB Russell, the new team leader, played by …

Nancy Grace is a former prosecutor now hosting her own show on the Headline News channel, a sister channel of CNN.
I used to watch her show, which airs nightly, but I have not been watching it as much lately. I find that once she gets onto a story, all …

Got to admit, while not the best Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode ever, the episode “Living Conditions” still managed to be funny and entertaining.
In fact, I’m not even sure what the real plot was supposed to be. But, that whole storyline where Buffy had to survive living with her …

Chasing Mummies: Discovered opens with a man being injured, though that’s about the only mention of this. It’s like instant drama with no follow through.
However, there was something exciting about this hour and that was seeing the 123rd pyramid being discovered. Apparently, it had been found under …

Setanta Sports is a channel offered by some of the cable companies in the USA that carries mainly sports that are very popular in Europe and Asia, such as soccer, rugby or cricket. The channel is not cheap - as far as I know it’s only offered for $15 …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Pancho didn’t impress me, especially with the way it began.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Back for Christmas was classic Hitchcock. I pretty much love most all that this series has to offer. They weren’t all winners, but it’s hard not to enjoy something about each offering that came from this ingenious mind.
The story begins in England with a …

Picking up on the cliffhanger from the previous episode, this takes all the momentum gained from its predecessor and manages to keep moving at a brisk pace. It manages to tie up all the loose ends and manages to up the scale of the show.
This episode had a …
