After …

Paula Abdul sang her new single, I’m Here for the Music, early on in tonight’s results show for American Idol. I’m not a fan of hers really, but it was nice to see her do something besides offer nonsensical remarks about contestants. I’m just not into the …

The fourth episode of the 1954 TV series Sherlock Holmes had the surprising name of The Case of the Texas Cowgirl. The reason for the surprise is simply that it’s a show taking place in London and yet is about a cowgirl. Specificially, the focus is in …

Politics started out well but after the first ten minutes I was bored while watching it.
Bored watching an episode of Stargate SG1? How can that be? Well, this episode was what they call a “clip show.” Having seen every episode of Stargate SG1 so far plus …

Last night’s episode of Law & Order SVU was one that I think was kind of weak compared to what it could have been.
The episode “perverted” had Olivia being accused of murder; not only because her business card was found on the victim but because her DNA was found …

Death Note Episode 18 begins with Light and L having a fist fight over the fact that it seems that L wants Light to be Kira even though he’s been cleared of suspicion. Meanwhile, Kira begins killing again, but this time it seems he’s killing for profit rather …

Stargate SG-1: A Matter of Time isn’t one of my favorite episodes of the series, probably because Michael Shanks is only in one scene, the last one. This is because his girlfriend had given birth to his child, and he took some time off. For me, Daniel …

The 11th episode of its third season on the air, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Haunted Submarine, gives us another same-o, same-o, which I really don’t like. By this I mean that yet again, Richard Basehart plays two roles. He’s Admiral Harriman Nelson as …

There are only a handful of Gilligan Island episodes that includes real animals, and this is one of them. The parrot voice was play acted by Mel Blanc, so I was impressed how much this animal’s voice did sound like a parrots. Besides this I was impressed how the …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast presented a 90-minute roast of the legendary George Burns. Filmed in Las Vegas, there were a lot of comics on the dais, which isn’t surprising.
What made this fun is that Burns was in control the whole way. When Gene Kelly stood and …

Gundam 00 is probably the best in the gundam series franchise. From content, to character development, to plot involvement and story culmination, it has broken through the standard expectations of what a Gundam Series should be. Thus, it has become Sunrise Company’s groundbreaking development since the epic classics of …

Someone finally fit the bill that the producers of The Andy Griffith Show were looking for. I think Aneta Corsaut was super as Helen Crump, Opie’s teacher, but I’m really not sure why she was better than Joanna Moore. Whatever the reason, we meet Miss Crump for …

I’d forgotten how much I liked this show until I saw it on the DVD racks at FutureShop. I asked for the DVDs for Christmas, and I was definitely right in remembering how good this show is/was. It’s too bad that there were only two seasons, although there is …

Code Geass Episode 10 has Lelouch feeling pleased that more people are joining the Black Knights while the enemy is making it’s move against the Japanese Liberation Front.
This episode was really good and the games are just beginning and it’s a great episode because it just keeps getting more …

Due South: Say Amen is a story that has been done before, in western genres and all other types of dramas. That said, it’s still fairly well done and is entertaining.
The one thing that really makes no sense, though, concerns the character of Inspector Meg Thatcher. We …

MacGyver: Early Retirement has more of MacGyver on the ice, playing hockey with Pete in a neat little segment, especially when Pete stops three of his shots from scoring. Can we say Mac is a pouter? It was funny. The reason for the excursion for the …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Beau Geste, the fifth episode of the sixth and final season of this western series, is one I’ve seen a couple of times in recent history, but which I just can’t grab onto for some reason. Something about it doesn’t work in retaining …

I have watched Season One of Dawson’s Creek and am on the second epi of Season Two. I don’t know why I’m writing this review because I almost have no opinion; I’m not sucked into the show yet like I feel I should be. The writing is good, the …

I really like the opening part of Stargate: Infinity: Coming Home which deals with the age old problem of prejudice. One of the members of Major Bonner’s team is named Ec’co. He’s a green, rather unusual alien being. However, he’s also a half breed. His …

Richard Hatch and Patrick Macnee were the big guest stars in Blacke’s Magic: It’s a Jungle Out There, a series about semi-retired magician, Alexander Blacke. As portrayed by Hal Linden of Barney Miller fame, Blacke charmingly assists local authorities and friends in need by solving crimes and …

British series cartoon animation titled Those Scurvy Rascals is something that I always am able to catch in Kids Central Channel, in my country. It is so darn funny and these pirates are really getting on my funny nerves. My nieces and nephews all love this cartoon as …

Jack Benny was the Man of the Week for this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Benny was a hoot, a terrific comedian and actor. I thought he was great and always enjoyed watching him. He was definitely worth being one of this show’s honorees.
It …

I have always liked Star Trek: The Omega Glory, primarily for that big speech Kirk makes towards the end. I love the Kirk orations. They’re so patriotic.
Once again, the catalyst is a missing spaceship. In this case, it’s the Exeter. Actually, the ship and the …

I am engrossed in the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother 2010 which, as I write, has been running for just over a week on Channel 4, with a couple more weeks to go. This is the very last one so I am trying to appreciate it before …

This year featured a new reality type show called the Next Best Thing. The show featured people impersonating movie stars or other famous people. While the show was slightly boring watching week to week. The semi=finals of the show was simply outstanding. The winners were …

M*A*S*H: Depressing News is a very good episode that is also thought provoking at points. The setup begins when a truckload of 500,000 tongue depressors when they’d only ordered 5,000. It’s an obvious error, but it’s one that strikes a chord inside of Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda). …

Freddy Moore is on a rampage. He’s the tool pusher, or supervisor of the evening shift that actually starts at 2 p.m. He’s out for a promotion, so he’s having the crew complete a lengthy ‘to do’ list. Freddy’s just not my cup of tea. …

Highway Patrol’s 34th episode of its first year on the air was called Art Robbery. It’s aptly titled since it revolves around a group of men who cause a wreck intentionally and then steal several valuable works of art. Fortunately, the driver is able to get away …

One of the things that is most noticeable about M*A*S*H: It Happened One Night is just how much Jamie Farr’s role on this hit comedy series has expanded. His Corporal Klinger character has really expanded, which is logical since he’s now in the opening credits. He really …

In celebration of their one-hundredth episode, the powers that be at Stargate SG-1 produced a show that was a tribute to the people who put the show together, week after week. There are a host of cameos by the crew and background people who work on the show. …

Having ignored this show when it was originally aired, I stumbled across a repeat one evening on E4. I knew it was about four lads at school but that was about it. I must have turned on just at the right moment as I heard a characters reaction to …

There was something amazing about watching Chasing Mummies in this latest Bats episode. It was relatively calm and peaceful. With two archaeological fellows, Lindsay and Zoe, now out of the picture, what viewers were treated to was a really intriguing look at Egypt and the pyramids.
Early on, …

Jason Priestley guest stars in Jeremiah: And the Ground, Sown with Salt, a show that stars Luke Perry. These two actors were quite the rage back in the days of Beverly Hills 90210, a series I never cared for. I’ve been surprised by Perry in this science …

Sitting around, chatting, and listening to fanciful tall tales. That’s the delight and center of The Twilight Zone: Hocus-Pocus and Frisby from 1962. It’s a fun story that includes some harmless stories and some naive aliens, as in aliens from outer space.
Here are a few thoughts about …

I generally do not watch makeover shows like “What Not to Wear” unless I am very bored and there is not much else going on on cable television. However, I must admit that even though I don’t go out of my way most times to watch it, they do …
