The War episode of Max Headroom is actually one I’ve seen before and with added interest. The reason for that is because it featured Lisa Niemi as a news reporter named Janie Crane. I remember chuckling a bit, though, because while we see Niemi several times, she …

The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Carroll O’Connor honored the All in the Family star as Man of the Week for a merry bit of entertainment with a number of decent humor routines and unusual dais members. It wasn’t often in those days that you’d find the head of …

This was one of the first episodes I really liked of this show. It was about the year 200,000 and the way the news were transmitted. They are all on a satellite and they receive news trough some kind a machine, they have some kind a chip installed …

When it comes to season finales, or at least summer finales, you think the show Monk would leave its best episode for last, in an effort to keep you wanting more.
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized is not one of the best episodes I’ve seen.
Really, nothing about this episode is unique …

Wow, I sure missed a lot on That 70s Show when I stopped watching it after Eric and Kelso left. The episode “We Will Rock You” proves that.
I knew there were new characters on the show and other characters have obviously gotten older. But, since when does Jackie love …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Monster’s Web, the 23rd show of the second season, guest starred the talented Peter Mark Richman as “Captain Mike Gantt. Richman had a very long career where he appeared in just about every show under the son, and in doing …

What I liked about this episode: I think the funniest part of this episode, for …

Mod Squad: The Teeth of the Barracuda is the pilot to this classic police drama about three young undercover cops. The idea is that being young and hip, no one would think they were cops. All had been in trouble when asked to join the police force …

Weeds is one of the best dramas/comedies on tv right now. If you like an edgy, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant show that pushes the envelope from traditional sitcoms, this show is the one for you. The excellent acting of Mary Louise Parker and Elizabeth Perkins make it clear why …

Voyagers!: Barriers of Sound is an intriguing connection of two historical events. It’s shows like this one that proved how creative Voyagers! could be. It begins with history going wrong with Dwight David Eisenhower almost didn’t get born, or survive. The reason? The telephone hadn’t …

Well, I ended up liking Monday night’s episode of House, “Unwritten” a little more than I thought I would. But, I have to be honest, I’m still not as big of a fan of this series as I used to be.
The case itself wasn’t terrible. House is treating his …

Synopsis: Elliott finds himself re-opening a kidnapping cold case after the boy’s brother kidnaps a college student, holds her hostage and threatens to kill her if the child is not found.
What I liked about this episode: A lot of times, the bad guys on this show are a little …

I ended up watching the later showing of Ghost Hunters last night (so I could watch SVU on a different channel at 8) and I was concerned I was losing sleep over yet another case that wasn’t going to offer too much in terms of evidence.
Fortunately for me, I …

I was watching the Family Guy episode Stewie B. Goode last night for probably about the dozenth time and I have to say it is still a somewhat funny episode.
There are two main plot points to this one. First, Peter gets an opportunity to complain about just about everything …

From May 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Bard is not a show that I like very much. It never captures my interest or draws me into any part of the story. Usually when this episode pops up on television, I change the channel or even turn the …

That Girl: Hearing Today, Gone Tomorrow is a very good episode. I remembered this one. It always makes me laugh. The general premise is that Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) is up for a commercial for a car product to be shot outdoors in the current snow …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Jinx, from January 1962 which was part of this comedy show’s second season on the air, was a solid half hour of entertainment, though to be honest, it’s not one I really like all that much. I’ve watched it numerous times. I …

Death Note is an anime series that took my breath away. At first I was skeptic about an anime that could interest me, but after I saw the first episodes I knew this was going to be special.
The story revolves around Light Yagami, a high-school student, head of his …

This is the absolutely my favourite episode of CSI New York ever. Usually when I watch TV I do a whole bunch of things in between, but this time I was so into the story I think I was sitting the whole time with my mouth open. It …

This episode gets a bit on the meta side as the Ghostbusters travel to Hollywood to act as consultants on the production of a Ghostbusters movie. Interestingly enough, it’s THE Ghostbusters movie. Direct references are made to Ackroyd, Ramis, and Murray; who obviously starred in the picture, …

Fooly Cooly Episode 1 begins as a girl named Samejima Mamimi talks to her boyfriend’s brother Nandaba Naota. They’re discussing Naota’s older brother who is playing baseball in America and go get some sodas to drink when suddenly a girl on a vespa …

The topic of Max Headroom: Lessons has to do in part with censorship, including the use of profanity. Now that’s a still relevant issue that continues to be controversial in our true reality.
This half-hour program, which to me is both a comedy and a drama due its mix …

“Mystery at the Lighthouse” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. In some ways, this episode is reminiscent of a previous episode, “Clefairy and the Moonstone” in that it deals with some of the mysterious of the Pokemon world. Both episodes have a certain mysterious aire to them …

This past weekend, my wife was away for the weekend so I hade a chance to watch television unencumbered by the thought process. When such opportunities occur, I often find myself watching either old TV shows, or westerns. This week I got to do both.
I find episode number four …

OK, I have found it very difficult to find time to watch the show Bones. But, after last night’s episode ‘The Knight on the Grid,’ I am now pledging to make time for this series.
Most episodes have Bones and Booth looking for a killer and finding him/her by the …

I rather enjoyed Probe: Untouched by Human Hands from beginning to end. This quirky series about scientific genius Austin James (Parker Stevenson) ending up solving crimes is a little off center and thus unique enough to keep my attention. This second episode of the series starts with secretary …

Bravo’s show Top Chef is quite exciting to watch. While I myself hate to cook the show has very interesting challenges to the people fighting for the title Top chef. While it is like your regular reality shows where one gets taken off the show weekly, its …

As much as you would like to knock Joey Tribbiani on the head most of the time, you can’t help feeling a bit of love for him. He is the struggling actor in the hit series sitcom Friends, which is not in the making anymore. Such a pity, …

Boris Karloff did his amazing introduction and exodus of Thriller: Waxworks from the second year of the anthology show. The show revolved around Jacquelin’s Wax Works which is an exhibit of wax figures of famous murderers. The Twilight Zone may have gotten its idea for a Martin …

Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer such as myself were delighted to hear Faith/Eliza Dushku would be continuing to act in the supernatural genre of television. She had turned down her own spin off from Buffy just to do Tru Calling. The Pilot is where us fans were holding …

During my Psych mini-marathon before bed last night, I came across an episode I hadn’t seen before; Forget Me Not. This one turned out to be an interesting case for Shawn and Gus.
The two are hired by his dad’s former captain, who believes he has solved a murder. However, …

The Twilight Zone: Still Valley is another one of the shows that I’ve never been all that crazy about. It’s a little spooky and weird, not in a scary way but just in its telling. It involves some black magic, and that’s not my thing either.
This is …

M*A*S*H: Bulletin Board lets Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) do the letter home routine. He’s writing to his daughter, Becky, about missing her birthday and regretting it. He then sets out to tell her about the 4077th. I have to think that what we saw …

I heard a lot of hype about Men of a Certain Age. Ray Romano is the primary star and there was a ton of publicity about his return to television in this show. In my opinion, he should have kept the old show going.
One of the reasons …

I loved the new Canadian action-comedy show of CBC. The story revolves around spies of a fictional government office called National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA). It stars Natalie Lisinka as Alex Cranston, Canada’s version of Alias. She’s suppose to be a kick-ass spy who gets into all …

This episode begins with SG1 and some other teams from the SGC helping some villagers who are under attack by gliders. As everyone is running around, gathering people and escorting them through the Stargate, Sam stops to help a man. When she discovers he is no longer …

In 2013 I got introduced to a series named Awkward that still airs on MTV. While I generally gravitate to more mature television series, I liked it at first because I found that there were some things I could identify with even though I’m no longer a teenager, and …

One thing that I remember about the final season of this great series is that they mentioned in some way just about all of the early cast members, giving everyone a final nod. I always thought that was classy. In M*A*S*H: The Joker Is Wild, it’s Trapper …

This May 1964 story is probably more relevant today than ever. The Twilight Zone: The Brain Center at Whipple’s features Richard Deacon as the CEO of a company who becomes fascinated with the capabilities of machinery, especially when it comes to machines taking over the work of people. …

How many of you love watching Extreme Makeover (Home Edition) and loving every single minute of the show presented by ABC Channel? Well, I do. In fact, I love the show so much that no one could ever come across the TV when I watched the show …

Step by Step is a really cool show. I always laughed when I saw this show. The whole family is pretty funny. I think the stories in the show are pretty well written and I like the fact that they teach people a life lesson. I think that this movie …

In my opinion, The Blue Book is one of the most interesting series of at least the last 5 years. What are its principal merits?

Dramatic and scenic authenticity, no comic relief - you won’t find here any cardboard heroes, saving the world by clutching their fingers in the wings …

Burn Notice: Do No Harm continues the story from the previous episode, Good Soldier. At the end of that show, Michael had fallen from the ledge of his door after a big blast. Now it’s just crazy that Michael takes such a fall and can just get …

With all the television options out there it is hard to know which one is the best or the right one for you. I have searched the three main ones in my area and have found which one is the cheapest and which one is the most reliable. …

“Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem” is a Travel Channel show I started watching close to a year ago. To be honest, there are times when I can barely stand to look at it, but, at the same time, it is just fascinating to me that this man will …

Episode 7 is calmer than the previous episode which is surprising considering that the fight that is brewing will be much greater than any other action scene seen so far in the show. The tension is clear when the episode starts as Kakashi tries to get information out of …

What is the point of “filler episodes” exactly? Really, I’m wondering, because that’s exactly what “Alpine Fields” is - filler. First off, John Connor is nowhere to be seen, it’s only Derek, Sarah, and Cameron. There’s also another nameless T-888 assassin that has to be killed. Apparently, there’s a …

Anyone who has kids (especially girls) is probably familiar with Dora the Explorer. And, it is definitely one of my daughter’s favorite programs.
When she first started watching Dora, I admit, I wasn�t that big of a fan of the show. The plots were a little too simplistic and very …

Once again, I ended up staying up late to watch Ghost Hunters (because the first airing of the new episode is on at the same time as Law & Order SVU so I end up watching the encore showing of it). And, I ended up a bit disappointed.
Well, actually, …
