The first episode of Top Shot fascinated me enough that I tuned in for this second episode. I love the host, Colby Donaldson of Survivor the Australian Outback fame, who is well suited to this outdoorsy show which strives to find the best shooter of the bunch. …

The Dave Ramsey show is a wonderful gift to all of us who have made bad financial decisions in our pasts, including taking out loans, using credit cards, co-signing for others, and living beyond our means. The Dave Ramsey show is on in virtually all major markets, according …

One of the reasons for watching Remington Steele: Thou Shalt Not Steele from November 1982 is that the episode guest stars Cassandra Harris, who is perhaps better know as being Mrs. Pierce Brosnan. The British actress sadly passed away years ago of cancer, but shows like this show …

Drop Dead Diva is a new TV series on the Lifetime channel. It comes on at 9 p.m. eastern time on Sundays. I was skeptical about this show because it’s on Lifetime, and Lifetime is one of those channels that provides TV movies and shows that are a tad …

“The Simpsons” is one of the animated series first aired by the cable television channel FOX which I have and will always consider as a classic. I have seen many popular culture references to it in movies and even other cartoons such as “South Park.” However, I think what …

This is a cute idea and a neat way to tell a story that wouldn’t work with the current storyline. It’s like someone had an idea for the Brisco character, but wanted it set in an earlier timeline of the series. To make that work, they added …

I love Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding very much. Every wedding has their own religion and tradition, and I’m not caring about that in this episode. In fact, I am so in awe of Phoebe’s dress, she looks so gorgeous and the ideology that she just wants a nice …

The Virginian: A Bride for Lars had a lot of good things going for this western outing, but it as fun as some moments were, there was a lot of just plain stupid, mainly in how the character of Trampas (Doug McClure) acted.
The basic setup for the 90 minutes …

Last night’s Ghost Hunters episode was OK but not one of the greatest ones. They investigated an American Legion building in Pennsylvania (a short distance from where my wife was born).
It was one of those cases that could go either way. A lot of personal experiences that weren’t captured …

I’ve seen some confusing episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer before. But, “Where the Wild Things Are” is definitely one that ended up being one of the most confusing.
OK, first of all, when did the show go from being a series about a girl who fights demons to a …

Columbo: Troubled Waters is an okay outing from the fourth year of the Columbo series. It’s amusing to a degree in that Lieutenant Columbo (Peter Falk) and his wife are on a cruise together, but we never see the Mrs. at all. He’s talking to her a …

Death Note Episode 1 begins in the world of the Shinigami, where they’re all bored with nothing to do except gamble and write names in their “death notes”, notebooks they use to write down the names of people in the human world and kill them. One Shinigami named …

The case starts when a secretary for a Captain …

This was the Top Seven Perform episode of So You Think You Can Dance. Following are the highlights, and low lights, from my point of view:

In the Season 2 finale, Dr. Monti schedules separate sessions with Feldman/Susie and Haim to show them the taped video of the fight outside of Haim’s house in order to hear and study their reactions. All three of them feel bad about it, of course, but don’t seem to …

Trailer Story is the third outing for Highway Patrol’s third season. Starring Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, the head of the California Highway Patrol, this story is the search for a killer.
As far as the production quality goes, it was pretty good. I didn’t really have …

M*A*S*H: Temporary Duty is a ridiculous show that is half comedy and half drama. While the drama is good, the comedy doesn’t make me laugh at all. The dialog in this part of the show was poorly written and the character of Captain Roy Dupree was over …

I’m starting to get a feel for 30 Rock, but I’m not sure I like it. It feels more like a skit from “Saturday Night Live” than a TV series. The things that happen are generally absurd, the comedy just a little too far and the character surreal.
That isn’t …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Pickle Story is one of the top five episodes of all time for this tremendously successful comedy series. It’s priceless and I never tire of seeing it. I’m serious about that. There’s no way I could even count the number of …

Yesterday was my birthday so I decided to take the afternoon off. I didn’t do too much other than watch TV. But, I did get to see a great episode of Home Improvement.
Ironically, this episode had Tim celebrating his birthday too. Only, instead of getting to do what he …

I haven’t really been watching this season of Project Runway; mostly because the last season just ended. But, I did watch last night’s challenge; the Hi’s and Lows of Fashion.
This challenge was actually somewhat interesting. Once again, the show decides to create tension by having the designers pair up …

I love watching The Dr’s every morning on Fox 11 here in Tucson. The morning show airs nationally, and has been the next best thing to hit morning TV since The View! Better than The View actually, since The Dr’s at least teaches you something.
The topics on …

The plot of That Girl: Those Friars really doesn’t matter. What does matter is the joy of seeing Danny Thomas guest starring on his daughter’s highly successful TV series. He’d done a cameo on an earlier episode that was just delightful, but this part was a little …

Well, another season one Monk episode and another happy fan. Mr. Monk & the Psychic is an episode that manages to show everything that is or at least was good about the show before they started messing with the format a bit.
You have a woman being murdered by her …

Father Mulcahy (William Christopher) writes a letter to his sister, the sister, in M*A*S*H: Dear Sis. This is actually the third straight episode to give a huge focus on Mulcahy. This character began as a minor presence in season one and has slowly built up to being …

Wow, two new episodes of Bones in a row and both aren’t half bad.

I loaded the old television show Faerie Tale Theater on my Netflix Player the other day as something I could sit down and watch with my daughter. When I did that, I wasn’t really sure what to expect, especially from the first episode “Tale of the Frog Prince” because …
