The Fugitive: The Iron Maiden
The first thing I noticed when I watched The Fugitive: The Iron Maiden again was that it guest starred Richard Anderson. Anderson was one of TV’s most used actors from the 60’s to the 80’s. He was on absolutely everything at one point at another, and like …
Dempsey and Makepeace, UK TV programme
This was an awesome programme. The two leads had such a good chemistry together, they ended up getting married in real life. Cop shows have always been popular, from both sides of the pond, and teaming up an American cop with a British one worked like a …
BigTV
Last October I bought reliance bigtv. There is huge recommendation for airtel dth, by my friend. But I stick on with reliance because of their services they are offered. I contact direct to the dealer of bigtv and I got it within 3 days. the cost was good about …
Code Geass Episode 10 (Anime)
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 …
Unorthodox : Law & Order SVU
OK, I’ll admit, this was an interesting episode for the most part, but I do have to question exactly why the producers of this show went out of their way to attack the culture of orthodox Jews when the rapist turned out to be a child; not one of …
Colbert Report
This is what a satirical news program should be. While the Daily Show is quickly losing its edge, the Colbert Report is on fire. A more direct parody of the O’Reilly Factor in particular and Fox News Channel in general (this is obvious the second the opening …
Americas got talent
This is a television show that comes on. I have only seen it a couple of times. I don’t even think that I have seen a whole episode of the show. It’s a show where people go in front of the judges and an audience and show there talent. …
Ghost Hunters Academy: The Honeymoon is Over
Well, episode 2 of Ghost Hunters Academy did at least have the “students” doing more than the first episode, as they explored a haunted battleship. But, it also revealed that these participants aren’t very good at working as a team.
Basically, you have one who claims to be a medium …
Human Target: Action Thriller TV Series
The promos and ads for Fox TV’s action/adventure series, “Human Target”, piqued my interest, but somehow I missed it when it debuted. I’m glad that I stumbled upon it when I was on Hulu.com and was able to watch the pilot episode, among others, before it was no longer …
Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 5 Performance TV Show
The performance show for the 11th season of Dancing With the Stars, Week 5, was again given too much time. The network is milking this show, and if they aren’t careful, they’ll overdo it and viewers will go away. We’re smart, and we’ll tire of being toyed …
Forensic Files
Forensic science is not that new, at least to Sherlock Holmes fans, but it is is real life. Forensic Files is seen on Court TV, which is going to be known as Tru TV starting in January 2008. They set out to solve murders that seem to be unsolvable …
That Girl - Season Four DVD set
While I love the That Girl series and am so glad that someone gifted me with it recently, I was disappointed in the That Girl - Season Four DVD set. Obviously, my let down wasn’t because of the episodes, which I was thrilled to see again for the …
The Singing Bee Television Show
I was very tired this morning when it was time to get out of bed. And, this time around, it was not because my daughter kept me up all night.
Instead, it was because my wife and I were flipping channels last night and came across a show on CMT …
House: Wilson
Last night’s episode of House was actually quite good. It still didn’t have a case that was overly hard to diagnose but at least Wilson got more air time than a quick cameo appearance. In fact, the entire episode was really about him and his involvement with one of …
Sea Hunt: Water Ski Show TV Show
Water Ski Show was the twenty-second episode of Sea Hunt’s second season on the air. The title pretty much states what the focus of this particular episode was. We have Mike Nelson, our resident underwater expert when it comes to deep sea diving, helping out some stunt …
Ghost Hunters: Judgment Day
I only got a chance to watch bits and pieces of last night’s Ghost Hunters episode “Judgment Day” because I was putting my daughter to bed around that time. But, what I saw of it was definitely interesting.
Too often lately, the episodes have depended on EVPs for their evidence …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Doomed
Well, at least we know what became of Sunnydale High School after it was blown up on graduation day; absolutely nothing. The debris were still there and so was the blown up mayor.
The episode “Doomed” was a bit boring in my opinion. You have Sunnydale being rocked by and …
The Andy Griffith Show: A Deal Is a Deal TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: A Deal Is a Deal is a classic episode that has some very enjoyable moments. The main point of the plot has young Opie Taylor and his pals trying to sale a product called Miracle Salve. I’m sure many readers remember seeing ads …
Fame: Passing Grade
This second episode of Fame has always been one I’ve enjoyed watching, primarily because of the last scene. From 1982, Fame: Passing Grade has the teacher and the pupil both vying for the same part in a Broadway show. Of course, it’s against the rules for a …
The Flintstones: The Flintstone Flyer
My daughter has never seen the Flintstones before so I recently rented the first season of the show on DVD. We watched the first episode last night, the Flintstone Flyer and it was somewhat interesting.
This is before the characters were fully established but it managed to be entertaining. Barney …
How to Look Good Naked
How to Look Good Naked is an hour long show on Channel 4 currently showing every Thursday at 8.00 pm. The show is presented by the fantastic Gok Wan who has the philosophy that women can make themselves look fantastic by making the best of what they have …
Stargate Universe: Air Part 1
My interest in the Stargate Program is pretty much confined to the first eight years of Stargate SG-1. I did not like Stargate Atlantis and its affect on SG-1, and I suppose for much of the same reasons, I haven’t been interested in Stargate Universe, either. However, …
Star Trek: The Enterprise Incident TV Show
Star Trek: The Enterprise Incident is a story wherein the Enterprise crosses into the Neutral Zone to face off with the Romulans. It’s actually a secret mission that Kirk and Spock are on. It seems the Romulans now have a cloaking device, and Starfleet wants it.
The result …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: High Treason: Part 2
It’s the final ride for Bruce Campbell, Julius Carry, and Christian Clemenson as The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: High Treason: Part 2 concludes the single season run of this series. A mix of adventure, science fiction, action, drama, romance, and just about everything else, this TV program …
Voyagers!: Sneak Attack
Just two episodes after seeing Robert Donner as Buffalo Bill Cody, in Voyagers!: Sneak Attack we see Disney’s Ike Eisenmann playing a young Bill Cody before he got the nickname. It’s not just our voyagers meeting Cody back in 1860 Utah, but an ‘I’ve got something to prove’ …
The Good Wife: Running TV Show
As respects the season ending episode of The Good Wife called Running, I’m going to start before I watch the show and guess that the promo they’ve been showing all over television ad nauseam of a crucial decision making moment for Alicia actually takes place in the last seconds …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Shadowman TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Shadowman was the 21st show of this third season on the air, which occurred in 1966-1967. The show revolves around the nuclear submarine Seaview, developed by Admiral Harriman Nelson (Richard Basehart). The captain is the very handsome Lee Crane, portrayed …
Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story
I was a little surprised by Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story because I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. This season six episode reminds me a lot of Boys Town and Father Flanigan, though there isn’t any connection. It’s just the idea that makes …
Adam 12 - Logs 102 and 72
I’m combining reviews here on “Adam-12″ because as respects “Log 102″, I just have nothing to say. It’s heavy on the drug scene of the day, and I’ve just seen so much of that I’m sort of numb about it now. It’s just another Narco-related show. …
CSI New York S4 E2
CSI New York Season 4 Episode2- The Deep
During an on the water race a decomposed body of a diver is discovered. It is believed that the methane gas underwater explosion brought him the surface. But, as usual in the world of CSI New York, there are no easy cases. …
Private Practice show
Private Practice is the Grey’s Anatomy spin off that stands alone. When Addison first left to go visit Naomi in California I thought she would be returning to Seattle Grace but I was wrong. She stayed at Oceanside Wellness and the results have been amazing.
The fact that the divorced …
Stargate SG-1: The Warrior
Stargate SG-1: The Warrior is a Jaffa centered storyline. Once again, Teal’c gets caught up in something that isn’t exactly what it seems. He tends to leap before he looks much of the time. Here, he practically turns his back on Jack and SG-1 because of …
Stargate SG-1: Window of Opportunity
Stargate SG-1: Window of Opportunity is a taste of fresh air in season four of this science fiction series. It’s a comedic retreat that occurs when Jack and Teal’c are the only two on Earth who realize they are reliving the same events, over and over again.
Watching the …

Star Trek: The City on the Edge of Forever TV Show
Star Trek: The City on the Edge of Forever is probably the most classic and well produced episode in the entire original series. It’s received much acclaim over the years and is fondly thought of by fans. From April 1967, this episode features Joan Collins as Sister …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Veldt TV Show
Ray Bradbury writes a lot about humans becoming too caught up in technology. I’ve noticed that theme in several stories and it’s here in The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Veldt as well. This is all about relying too much on electronics and letting go of relationships and …
Due South - The Ultimate Collection
Due South is the story of a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman, Constable Benton Fraser, who travels from the Yukon to Chicago to track down the killer of his father. One thing leads to another and once the case is solved, he ends up staying in Chicago and working at …

After easily beating off the disguised rain ninja Sasuke decides to give the group a password, so that if they are separated they will know whether each other is the real one or another impostor. The password is ridiculously long and sure enough, within moments they are attacked and …
Burn Notice: Rough Seas
I’m afraid that Burn Notice: Rough Seas did nothing to hold my interest. I didn’t like the plot or the unfamiliar guest stars. Well, I did recognize one of the actors from The UNIT — Max Martini, but he doesn’t make me want to watch anything. …
Cover Her Face - Part 3
Cover Her Face, Part 3, moves this P.D. James murder mystery along significantly. One of the things I like about this particular outing, though, is that the storyline is much easier to follow than those in later outings. I felt that way about The Black Tower, too. …
Models of the Runway: Burlesque Babies
Last night’s episode of Models of the Runway was OK but it is starting to get a bit on the predictable side again. With so few challenges left, I doubt they will force the designers to change models and I doubt the designers will do so by choice.
That one …
Centennial: The Massacre
Centennial: The Massacre is one of the most difficult episodes of this epic mini-series to watch. It’s top notch drama and stands up to the ongoing quality and expectations of this series, which is based on the novel by James Michener. That said, it’s hard to watch …
Melrose Place
In the nineteen nineties, I had gotten very used to living around the local television stations’ boring and unpredictable schedule. They would often sometimes bring cricket matches on both channels when I expected to see Saturday morning cartoons, and on Sundays, they brought absolutely nothing which appealed to …
Superstars of Dance
Superstars of Dance, hosted by Irish dance great, Michael Flatley, has really been fascinating to watch. In this unique competition show, dancers from eight countries have faced off against one another in team dance, pairs, and solos.
The show could have been a political disaster, with the judges all …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Pirates
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Pirates was a bit of a disappointment for me. I always expect pirate themes to have a real edge to them, some real swashbuckling swagger and color. When I don’t get that, it colors things negatively. I just don’t feel …
The Virginian: Vengeance Is the Spur
I really have one major thing to say about The Virginian: Vengeance Is the Spur. I like the Alias Smith and Jones remake better. Seriously, it’s the same show with minor changes. I actually remember back in the seventies reading about how if a show seemed …
