Since Psych is in its mid-season break right now, my wife and I took the time to watch the series premiere of the show White Collar on Friday night.
It was much better than expected but there are some things I would definitely change.
The series, which is about a white …

I’m home sick today (no, really, I’m not playing hooky or anything like that) and am watching Beverly Hillbillies re-runs on TV. One of them, “Folk Singer” is pretty darn funny.

I like this show. It is so unlike other shows on tv now. The plot is a young man in his early twenties lives with is parents who had him at 15. They all live with a senile grandmother who comes in and out of lucidity. …

About the first thing I noticed about Have Gun - Will Travel: A Sense of Justice is that once again Karl Swenson is guest starring. He really did a bunch of these shows. I feel like he’s in every third episode. I’m sure that’s an exaggeration, …

From August 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Sound of Thunder is a story about time travel and the implications of not following the rules. It’s pretty much that simple. That by itself I might enjoy, but sense the story utilizes hunting as its means of telling …

How simple and petty our desires are before they reach metamorphosis and become larger than the very universe where we call our home and province of there forth. This is Eureka Seven episode 38 “Date of Birth”, a simple misunderstanding fallowing in an argument that will strength the bonds …

This is my all-time favorite TV shows. I am waiting impatiently for September 17, 2009 for the announced premiere date of Season 5. Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) works side by side with Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) in solving FBI crimes where the remains are bones. This is based …

I have been watching this channel for about an year now. As a mom I find this channel excellent for all age groups. This channel promotes healthly habits and good behaviour in kids. It also has programs related to science,adventure and travel. To list the best, they are: Booh-bah,tele-tubbies,zoom,Arthur,Buster,Caillou,Clifford.

The first time I saw the children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba, I thought wow, a weird looking man wearing an orange wig and playing with dolls; how creepy is that. ‘ But, after giving it a chance, I have to say it isn’t a bad show.
Not that I watch …

M*A*S*H: George aired in February 1974 so this show was pretty daring, all things considered. In this story, Rick Ely plays Private George Weston, a decorated soldier who admits to Hawkeye Pierce that he was beaten up by members of his unit because they found out he was …

In this episode of Have Gun - Will Travel, entitled Juliet, Paladin (Richard Boone) accidentally winds up in the middle of a small war. Unfortunately, there are a lot of problems with this episode, even though it’s actually entertaining. Interestingly, the show was written by Gene Roddenberry. …

Since Law & Order SVU wasn’t on last night, I was able to watch the early show of Ghost Hunters as they explored the Mark Twain House in Connecticut. This turned out to be an interesting episode.
For one, they had a lot of personal experiences. Normally, I don’t count …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Cradle of the Deep is the 25th episode from the first season of this Richard Basehart and David Hedison TV series. Guest star John Anderson played Dr. Janus, a scientist who wanted to gather precious elements from the ocean’s bottom to …

This episode pits the two agents against a homicidal pyrokinetic. It’s pretty straight forward, a trait which acts in the episode’s favor, but also to its detriment as well. While the fact that it’s a regular monster of the week isn’t negative in and of itself, the …

Modern Marvels is a great show brought to the viewing public by the History channel.
I like being able to tun this program on and then learn about some of the structures and how they were built. Everything from collapsed and fixed bridges to antenna towers to bullet trains …

The Body Banks episode of Max Headroom, from 1987, is sadly not that hard to envision. Society is just such a crazy place that I certainly wouldn’t doubt it. We’ve seen fiction do crazier things, like Soylent Green did with its shocking revelation. Basically, it’s all …

There wasn’t much on TV last night so I ended up watching a re-run of Law & Order SVU on NBC called Penetration.
This wasn’t the first time I have seen this episode. I watched bits and pieces of it when it first aired but really wasn’t all that interested …

Then as he is …

I thought this particular Law and Order SPecial VIctims Unit episode was a bit similar to the episode entitled “Payback” in the sense that it made some aspects of the trusted AMerican law a bit questionable to me in terms of what was wrong and what was right. ALso, …

I had intended on watching the newest Ghost Hunters International episode last night but, since there was a new Law & Order SVU on at the same time, I gave in to my wife’s wishes and watched that with her instead. Fortunately, the episode, entitled Pop, wasn’t too bad.
Basically, …

Firefly used to be a television show on the Sci-Fi Channel. I began watching this series when I rented the movie Serenity from Netflix and realized it was the finale of the tv show Firefly. This show is very wild west meets space smuggler. I love …

I love The Andy Griffith Show: Those Gossipin’ Men. It’s a story of revenge, lightheartedly delivered, and it’s a hoot to watch. It all begins when Sheriff Andy Taylor teases Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier), Clara Lindsey (Mary Treen), and the delightful Emma Brand (Cheerio Meredith) about all …

Now into the 3rd episode of this 3rd series and Simon now has a girlfriend called Tara. What makes Tara funny is that on the face of it she appears pretty and a cool kid, but as you watch the relationship develop you actually begin to see quite an …

Van Devere portrays Kay …

America’s Got Talent: The Finals for 2010 was a pretty decent show, presented in an hour format. With four finalists, it easily could have been a rockin’ half hour event. I’m admittedly getting tired of all of the fluff that these shows do. I’m not fond …

This episode finds the team battling a banshee. I love the fact that different mythological aspects get worked into the show. It makes for a nice variety and it adds a certain depth and complexity to the Ghostbusters world. The good news is that, as banshees …

Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana isn’t really a favorite episode of this series for me, but it still has some good moments. Dick Van Dyke is so good that he takes the mediocre and makes it worth watching. In this first season outing, Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan checks …

The pretense continues in Due South with the new guy pretending to be Ray Vecchio and Benton Fraser throwing him a party because it’s the real Ray’s birthday and the real Ray always had a party. The episode is called Eclipse.

Did you guys manage to watch Felicity Huffman on Ellen for this year 2009 interview? I did and it was a good one and funny too. Both Ellen and Felicity are very funny people and they are both witty and charming. Felicity is one of the best …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Pedestrian is an interesting show worth watching. I will restate here one of my complaints from another review and this is that I wish Bradbury, from who all of these stories emanate, gave us just a bit more of a setup from the …

From February 1961, Sea Hunt: Sperling of Lamatsue was the sixth outing for the show’s fourth year on TV. In the show, our resident diving expert, Mike Nelson as played by Lloyd Bridges, is collecting weeds for research. It’s believed that the weeds could be a …

Law and Order SVU Season 2 Episode 2 Honor
In this episode, the story gets really complicated, and the ending is very sad. Despite all the good intentions, I feel that the writers did not have any real knowledge of the culture that were writing about. The …

This episode of Smallville was a little weird. Basically Clark takes Kara’s crystal, sticks it in the fortress of solitude and lo and behold we have Lara, Clark’s biological mother and Zor El his evil uncle. Well replicas of them anyway.
While it was cool to see Clark’s …

I don’t really remember watching this show, Columbo: Last Salute to the Commodore, but I’m sure I did. It’s just fallen out of my brain, and I believe the reason for that is that it’s quite possibly the worst episode of Columbo ever. It’s dull, not just …

The message of The Twilight Zone: The Rip Van Winkle Caper is that greed just doesn’t pay. It’s an interesting story and one that is a bit unique in that three men steal some gold and then place themselves in suspended animation, setting their pods to awaken them …

The Ghostbusters are called in to bust the ghost of Casey Jones, the legendary engineer who died in a train wreck a hundred years ago. This was a great episode, it was tense, it had plenty of character moments, great jokes, and very little of Slimer.
The spud does …
