Thriller: Cousin Tundifer TV Show
From the second season of Thriller comes a little episode called Cousin Tundifer with Edward Andrews playing Miles Tundifer. This is somewhat of an eerie comedy, murder with a humorous twist. It’s a tale that brings the past to the present, from time to time, that is.
Here …
Cupcake Girls TV Series
One of the hottest food crazes these days are cupcakes. Shops and bakeries have opened up all across the country. It’s probably international, but I’m not sure. I do know that in America, cupcakes are no longer kiddie deserts. Part of the proof of that …

Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 1 has some great moments in it. The premise is that the SGC is being documented. It’s the one-thousandth trip through the Stargate, and they want history to know how the Stargate has helped to shape and save the future.

The Carol Burnett Show: Steve Martin and Betty White TV Show
In its eleventh and final year, The Carol Burnett Show included an episode that included Steve Martin and Betty White, along with its regulars, Vicki Lawrence and Tim Conway.
The show includes another installment of Burnett’s soap opera, As the Stomach Turns in which she plays a woman named Marion. …
Sea Hunt: Beyond Limits TV Show
Sea Hunt: Beyond Limits aired toward the end of the third season, back in September 1960. I am amazed that I tend to enjoy this show as much as I do in reruns because up until it started airing on ThisTV, the whole concept bored me. While …
Jerry Springer
I was flipping through the channels the other day on the television set and I just had to stop and take a second look because I was sure that I was seeing things. Two girls were ripping at each other’s hair; one pulled a big hairball off of …

Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana isn’t really a favorite episode of this series for me, but it still has some good moments. Dick Van Dyke is so good that he takes the mediocre and makes it worth watching. In this first season outing, Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan checks …
Moonface Series
I watched the local TV series Moonface which had 6 episodes before. And this is shown on my local channel Kids Central and it has an element of mysteriousness and hauntings.
There is this character Mr Ghost, the 3 children investigation and Woo, the ‘Casper’ type of ghost …
Columbo: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set basically follows the same suit as the fourth season set. That equals an adequate presentation by Universal, one that is better than what they did with the season 3 set, but not as wonderful as the first season set.
The fifth season …
Hot in Cleveland: A TV Comedy Series
Betty White is my all-time favorite comedy actress. She was my favorite in The Golden Years. She brings this excellent comedic timing in Hot in Cleveland.
The storyline is simple enough —“ three women from Los Angeles whose careers in the entertainment industry are in their twilight years are marooned …
Fireball XL5: Robert to the Rescue
Fireball XL5: Robert to the Rescue gives us something new yet again, and that’s really a neat thing about this puppet series for kids that aired back in 1962-1963. The powers that be kept doing different things, featuring characters in varying situations and whatnot. It’s variety that often …
The Girls Next Door (tv show)
The Girls Next Door is on E, and its about Hugh Heffner and his three girlfriends, with whom he is currently residing. The show is on religiously Sunday evenings, either airing at nine or ten o’clock, EST. Although I thought the program sounded like it would be …

The Sing-Off: Night Two
The second night of The Sing-Off brought us more acapella numbers from diverse groups throughout the country. I lament that the program wasn’t aired live and instead was taped. It really took away from that spontaneous feel.
Noteworthy tried to perform a song by Cold Play, but it …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Amends
While I can kind of understand where the writers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were going with the episode “Amends” I do think they fell a bit short of their goal and produced a somewhat weak episode.
On the surface, this is nothing more than your average Christmas special with …
Baby First TV Channel
There is a new channel in our cable television channels. It is called Baby First. I think this channel is being offered for small kids or babies. The programs that you will find in this channel are not the same with the kids channel that we have. But all …

The talent reality show Americas Got Talent does grow on a person when you see all the crazy acts, however when they have acts such as Leonid a guy who keeps coming back year after year make it to the semi finals its absurd. The show is supposed …

Beast Wars - The Spark
Beast Wars - The Spark is an episode that introduces a new character to the series. It is the third character to be introduced, and sadly, one that never really received a whole lot of attention before disappearing along with another of the recently introduced characters in the season …
Special Victims Unit: Lead
I only caught bits and pieces of last night’s Law & Order SVU episode “Lead” but I got to see enough of it to be glad I didn’t sit down through the whole thing.
Yes, they brought back former ADA Alex Cabott back for the episode (and hopefully for good) …
The Twilight Zone: The Passersby TV Show
This 1961 outing, The Twilight Zone: The Passersby, isn’t a big favorite of mine, but it is a good show. I think the reason I’m not fond of it is because it’s somewhat dark. There isn’t really anything happy about it, and I prefer happy stories.
It’s the …
The Singing Bee
Filipinos love music. I guess everyone else does. But music is the most closest to every Filipinos heart compared to other mediums of art. Because of this, videoke (video karaoke) and magic sing microphones sells like rice congee. And television networks have invested in this opportunity by staging singing …
Hogan’s Heroes: The Big Record
Well, that was a cute episode of the show Hogan’s Heroes at lunch today; the Big Record; though it was somewhat predictable.
Basically, they are kicked out of the recreation hall so the Gestapo can have an important top secret meeting there. Hogan and his crew want to find out …
Surviving the Cut: Navy EOD TV Show
I definitely enjoy the Surviving the Cut. It educates the everyday viewer about the military elite and all that they have to do to get there. Well, not all because actually some of it is classified. The cameras frequently have to shut off to avoid showing …
M*A*S*H: Temporary Duty
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 …
Sea Hunt: Amigo TV Show
From March 1961, Sea Hunt: Amigo was an interesting episode that I liked but have an issue with as far as the plot goes. Deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) takes a job in San Carlos, Mexico to help extract fossils from a seemingly very difficult …
My Fair Wedding with David Tutera tv show
One thing I absolutely dread watching is those wedding reality tv shows I would always see airing on different television channels, and one of those was “My Fair Wedding with David Tutera”. However, it was a limitation of choices that caused me to start watching it and liking it.
I …

Laramie: No Second Chance TV Show
Laramie: No Second Chance, a second season outing of this hit western, features Fay Spain as Fran Ericson, and she has one very big vendetta against Slim Sherman (John Smith). Her venom runs deep.
Spain was a petite powerhouse with quite the pout in her day. She really …
Two and a Half Men
Two and a Half Men stars Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer
As a remake essentially of “The Odd Couple,” this show could have easily been a bust, but something makes it a winner. The writing is substandard as it is easily seen as a copy of many …

The Twilight Zone: The Trade-Ins TV Show
One of my very favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone has always been The Trade-Ins, a 1962 episode that touches my heart and soul. It revolves around an elderly couple who go to a company where you can actually buy new bodies. Now wouldn’t that be cool …

This episode is quite …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Man in the White Hat TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Man in the White Hat is the second episode and it’s always been one of my favorites because of the intensity of the family drama. In this episode, Crane McFadden (Peter Horton) is insistent that the family participate in a co-op for …

Numb3rs the TV Series

The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and Opie, Housekeepers TV Show
