The twenty-second episode of Highway Patrol’s second year on the air was titled Suspected Cop, and it is an episode that I did like because it focused on a theme it hadn’t yet tackled. In this half hour outing, Officer Stan Johnson, a regular played by William Boyett …

As another year of viewing pleasure draws to end, a sizable heap of shows lie cancelled, victims of the dreaded, unforgiving axe.
Amongst them, ABC’s sci-fi drama Defying Gravity: an ambitious tale of eight astronauts on a six year long exploration of the solar system. This show seemed to …

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 …

That Girl: A Muggy Day in Central Park from season three is pretty funny, and it features Ted Bessell in a dress. Now that was a get up! There is a logical explanation, especially when you remember that this show aired on network television in 1968.
In this …

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 …

M*A*S*H: C*A*V*E from season seven gives us new information about our chief surgeon. It seems Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is claustrophobic. I’m not quite sure how we’ve missed this in all of these seasons, considering the various buildings and situations Hawkeye has been in, but apparently we …

I have to admit, that was a pretty funny episode of That 70s Show; “Baby Don’t You do It.”
I think I reviewed the episode that happened prior to this one, where Eric and Donna think she’s pregnant because she missed a pill. Well, this is a follow up episode …

I’ve always liked this show because it is about one man that changed something. I know that it is impossible that there’s no crime in a big city and that the police officers are underpaid so that they don’t wanna risk their lives on their job and people …

Season two was winding down for The Virginian when the episode Dark Destiny aired. One interesting thing that I’ve noticed about these second season episodes. Once Randy Boone joined the cast, I like them better. I noted in many of my first season reviews that I …

Well, I’m almost through all the season 3 episodes of Ghost Hunters and have to say I really haven’t been too impressed with the so-called evidence they are collecting.

One of my favorite old Sitcoms of all time is Home Improvement. It was one of those shows, that even though it did have a very long run, it was not quite enough for me. I wish it had stayed on the air for a few more years, …

Anyone who tunes in to the UPN network in the evenings has probably had the fortunate opportunity to catch the quick witted rulings of Judge Mathis. Of all the court tv shows on the air, I find that Judge Mathis is the sharpest male judge on the bench. …

The Mighty boosh isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. If you like your comedy a little bit different though, this is for you.
It’s surreal, strange, bizarre and almost frightening in places, but you also get a bit of good old dumb humor thrown in for good measure.
Here, we see …

A Miser’s Brothers’ Christmas is a 2008 sequel to 1974’s awesome, “The Year Without a Santa Claus”. Unfortunately, I’m nowhere near as taken with it as I was with the 1974 entry.
While Mickey Rooney returns as the voice of Santa and pulls it off beautifully, I found most …

The Professionals was (and still is) the coolest show in history. Curly hair, Ford Capris and flared trousers all make this the best cop show on either side of the Atlantic.
I loved this show because it had terrific action scenes in it. In fact, there was only …

I hate this programme! It frustrates the hell out of me and I am soo glad I can rant about it on this website! It just doesnt make sense. Polar bears??? People living underground and everyone having past lives that are somehow interlinked.
I switch over every time it comes …

I love The Biggest Loser. My mom and I watch it every Tuesday together. I find it motivational. It does get frustrating, however, if you’re trying to lose weight with the show because they lose so much because all they do is exercise every day. I have learned, however, …

The Prisoner: Checkmate is the conclusion, at last, to this updated renovation of the science fiction show that Patrick McGoohan brought to us in the 1960’s. That show was all from McGoohan’s mind and while it had an ending, a lot of people say that no one really understood …

There are days I absolutely cannot stand watching the series Family Guy. And, there are others that aren’t too bad. The episode last night “Road to Germany” was one that I didn’t mind.

I was able to watch two episodes of Hogan’s Heroes at lunch today, including one that was kind of funny; Crittendon’s Commandos.
This one had the return of Col. Crittendon, who I last saw in an episode where he didn’t know the POW camp Hogan and his men were stationed …
