An Exercise in Fatality in one of the Columbo episodes I remember very well. It made a strong impression and I never tire of seeing it. Here are a few of the hits and misses for me about this show from season four.
–Robert Conrad is perfect casting …

The hit and miss forth season concludes with an unusual finale, both in subject matter and its change in pace. As opposed to the all out action we’ve had in previous seasons, here we’ve been treated to our kicks and punches in the previous episode, wrapping up the so-so …

Black Gold, the show that airs on TruTV and follows the work crews of Big Dog Oil Rig 28, continued its third season with this sixth week episode that was a lot of yelling and shouting, combined with a tad of personal emotion.
One of the hot heads, Cheston, is …

Last night, I ended up waiting for a re-run of the Simpsons to come on TV (like I do most evenings) and was a bit disappointed it was one I had seen a couple times before; The Principal and the Pauper. However, after watching it again, I did realize …

Any show hosted by Noel Edmonds is guaranteed to be a success. The man could get excitment out of paint drying if you paid him enough. Deal Or No Deal is no different. From the moment he comes on with the opening speech, delievered with great theatricality, you know …

At first, I was really sceptical about this series. I thought this was going to be one of those boring doctors on tv. I started watching it because I didn’t have anything to watch last time so I decided to buy this tv series on dvds. …

The three part finale comes to an end. Things look grim, and they haven’t gotten better in the year that passed since the Master took control, but Martha is still out there, fighting the good fight.
This episode couldn’t seem to find its tone. Again, the Master comes …

From 1959 to 1963, NBC aired a wonderful western called Laramie, starring John Smith and Robert Fuller. Many folks still remember this series, which had an enduring impact on many. Unfortunately, it’s yet to be released on DVD, or even video.
What I love about the series is …

Larry Blyden is the main subject of The Twilight Zone: A Nice Place to Visit, which is one of the first season episodes of this great TV series that I’m not very fond of. It’s just not a story that tickles my fancy. There’s nothing particularly wrong …

I’m not so sure about the cases Dr. House has been getting on the show House lately; they just don’t seem to stand out any more. But, I have to say the episode “Joy” really got me thinking and left me a bit depressed.

“Laugh and the world laughs with you”. That phrase does not always seem to alighn properly with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richey’s, The Simple Life, more often than not, does it? While this dynamic duo makes millions of dollars based upon their innate ability to function in …

Alias Smith and Jones is a lighthearted western that was very much like the theatrical super film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which I also loved. In the TV show, Pete Duel is Paul Newman; that is, Hannibal Heyes is the equivalent to Butch Cassidy. That makes …

I have a very big problem with Tales of the Gold Monkey: High Stakes Lady. The difference between this show and Bring ‘Em Back Alive, which totally butchered the subtle love affair between its leads, was this show is that in this series, the leads were a tad …

This was So You Think You Can Dance’s 150th episode according to host Cat Deeley. That’s great, but her dress wasn’t. Talk about tacky — yuck. On the plus side, the show had a special fourth guest judge, Kenny Ortega. That was fun. What …

I thought this episode of the popular 1990s television show was okay. I couldn’t say that I found it particularly intriguing, as I didn’t think it was very good. However, I didn’t think that the episode was very terrible either. I thought that all the elements …

Jewelry t.v. has two …

Some sitcoms get their humor from doing the unexpected. Some get their humor because they’re so true to life. The Office is actually both.
