Collectible Trek is a very information look at the world of Star Trek collectibles. This isn’t just a show and tell feature. It does much more than show an action figure and say how much it’s worth at the time this was filmed. It really hones …

Columbo: Troubled Waters is an okay outing from the fourth year of the Columbo series. It’s amusing to a degree in that Lieutenant Columbo (Peter Falk) and his wife are on a cruise together, but we never see the Mrs. at all. He’s talking to her a …

I recently saw this cool special on Brad Paisley called Underwater. It wsn’t a concert or anything, but it was more of a behind the scenes run down of how his concerts are set up. Im not a big fan of country, but I think some of brad’s …

Now this is more in line with what I’ve come to expect from Babylon 5. The story is engaging and there are several angles to the story. While the episode could’ve gone with the traditional “psi cops are good guys trying to catch the rogue villain” route, …

This was another episode where the bad guys were foreign, and not only that but they were Russians, which in this show is even worst, although Olga is a Russian woman and she works on the project, it is almost as if the show wanted to make it seem …

Well, that was a somewhat funny episode of The Simpsons last night; Apocalypse Cow. At least we finally got to get a better understanding of Cletus and his redneck family in this one.
Bart joins 4-H and ends up raising a calf to adulthood and even wins an award for …

The 35th episode of Have Gun - Will Travel’s fourth season, The Cure was an intriguing episode that I got a kick out of it. From time to time over its six total years on the air, this western would include a real life character or two, perhaps …

The plot surrounding That Girl: I Ain’t Got Nobody is that Ann’s picture is inexplicably in a major girlie magazine, creating chaos for everyone who knows her and interfering with her attempt to be cast on a children’s show with a character called Captain Gooney (Kenneth Mars).
A positive thing …

This episode is set up very much like “Ice” and “Darkness Falls”. Normally, this would be a good thing. Those were both very good episodes, and I even said that those were prime examples of how to do a one and done monster of the week episode. …

Dr. G: Medical Examiner is about Jan Garavaglia. Actually, it is her show! Dr. Jan Garavaglia is a medical examiner in Florida and Dr. G: Medical Examiner is about her cases. Don’t run off yet, this show is very information and interesting. You will not see blood and guts …

I had heard good things about Outrageous Fortune form my friends but I had never bothered to check it out as I didn’t really expect a lot from New Zealand televison.
However one day the mood struck me to get out the DVD and see what all the hype was …

We watched the Monk series finale last night and I have to say it wasn’t quite as good as I thought it would be. But, it did have a few twists that I didn’t expect so it still managed to win some points.
First, the case was way too easy …

After two episodes where the world is in danger, this episode gives us something of a breather. This is exemplified by the fact that the group starts the episode on vacation. They are going to New Orleans. Peter insists that they are going to Mardi Gras, …

Wow, that was one of the funniest episodes of any series I have ever watched. I haven’t watched the show Everybody Loves Raymond all that much but the episode that was on “The Sneeze” was absolutely hilarious.
Basically, Raymond is at an airport and someone sneezes on him (which, in …

From 1974, the animated Star Trek: Bem had the Enterprise hosting a new race, or rather, aboard the Enterprise there was a man considered an honorary observer. His race was new to the Federation. For much of this half-hour show, we really don’t know if this Bem …

This is a TLC show that started as a few specials narrated by the eldest of the eighteen Duggar children. This family is headed by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, two very conservative people with strong Christian values.
The show documents the unique struggles of a family of this size. …

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 …

“The Nox” is arguably the single, best episode of Stargate SG-1. This team episode captured the magic and essence of SG-1’s exploration of the universe. It showed the fallacy and limitations of our assumptions, while entertaining us at the same time.
The Nox are a simple, yet complex …

Bones is an excellent new show on Fox. It is about a forensic anthropologist who aides the FBI in solving crimes. She is able to study bones (hence her nickname) and help work backwards to figure out what happened, who the person was, and who or what killed them. …

Synopsis: The Jeffersonian team must solve the murder of a wedding planner found melted in her tanning bed in time for them to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
What I liked about this episode: I have to say that body in the tanning bed was actually pretty gross looking, especially when that …

This is a great episode, lots of action, lightening strikes, and bizarre natural occurrences. The Professor has lots of challenges ahead of him. And I can almost see the gears turning in his scientific mind of his trying to help Gilligan. And this episode is definitely high up there …

I finally got around to watching the 5th season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer today; starting with the first episode, Buffy versus Dracula.
It wasn’t a bad episode but not quite as good as I expected it to be.
As you can guess by the title, Buffy gets to face the …

Sitcom episodes that mainly revolve around husband and wife arguments usually don’t entertain me as much as episodes that feature some kind of other plot focus. In “Remember the Alimony,” an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” viewers are treated to a flashback to a time when Rob …

As I understand it, Roberta Shore, who played Betsy Garth on The Virginian from the beginning, left the series to get married and retired from show business. In this fourth season, her character would be turning 20, so that’s definitely marrying age. I am very glad they …

I first discovered Guiding Light when I was young I can’t even remember how old I was. I used to watch it on every holiday, and during the entire Summer of vacation. As I got older and began to do teenage things my faithfulness faltered as cable television and …

Quite honestly, The Twilight Zone: The Four of Us Are Dying isn’t one of the shows that I really want to watch. It’s packed with talent, but the plot just doesn’t go over with me. It’s about a man with the ability to change his appearance on …

From The Virginian’s fifth season came a nice episode called Sue Ann. It’s notable for a couple of reasons, one of which is that it starred the terrific Patty Duke and second is that it was the return of Clu Gulager as Deputy Sheriff Emmett Ryker.
This is the …

Directed by Charles Haid, which might explain Michael Warren being in this episode since both appeared on Hill Steet Blues, Criminal Minds: Devil’s Night had its moments that served to entertain to an extent. The story concerned what is has been an annual event in Detroit in recent …

The second season of The Vampire Diaries on the CW has been anything but dull. And episode 11: “By The Light of the Moon” has really lived up to the prior episodes of the season and was one in particular I felt to be one of the best episodes …

Masquerade: Winnings just could be my favorite episode of this series. I love the concept of the plot and the guest cast was terrific. Basically, the recruits, all just average American citizens, are brought together because they are all high rollers, or were. Poker and other …

While watching television, I happened upon a commercial where a man is seated at his kitchen table with Abraham Lincoln, and what looks to be a groundhog, but is actually a beaver. In the rear, facing the sink (presumably washing dishes) is what looks like an astronaut. …

Just a few years ago vampires were all the rage in pop culture, especially with everything related to teenagers. It all started with Stephenie Meyer’s series of books “Twilight”, which flew off the shelves, and continued to a blockbuster movie series that starred Hollywood’s hottest young elite. Soon came …

I can’t say that this was one of the best Law and Order SVU Episodes I had watched, but I still liked it and learned quite a bit from it like I have learned from a lot of the other episodes. I am not sure if the episode “Slaves” …

Survival Kit is the 13th program of the fourth season of the underwater adventure series, Sea Hunt, which stars Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson, a highly successful and respected deep sea diver.
My problem with this show is hypocrisy. The more I see of Sea Hunt, the more I …

When we ordered Direct TV a couple months ago, we decided to set it up in our oldest daughter’s room too; just so we could watch some more adult programming rather than cartoons all the time.
She recently discovered a show on the television station called Sprout. For the most …

The Sopranos is a “compelling” TV Show. I think compelling is the best word. Even though some scenes are controversial or you see the evil side of many of the main characters, for some reason the show compels you to keep watching. HBO has less strict regulations than cable …

Fresh Meat II is a spin off tv show from a previous show called the Challenge. In the show a group of 13 girls and guys live together and compete for a chance to win $300 000. Each time there is a challenge, the winner chooses someone to go …

Basically, Peter crashes his car into the satellite that provides television services to the city and …

When I first started watching Friends I was thirteen and I loved the show. I watched it for ten eyars and I still love the show to this day. Even the reruns make me laugh.
What’s great about it is that they talk about situations that happen in …

While there are good moments in Star Trek: Obsession, it’s another revenge type of show where James Kirk follows his overwhelming need for revenge for some past event even when it jeopardizes his crew, something which is highly abnormal for him. Having that as a theme brought the …

Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 7 has Section 9 tailing Marcelo Jarti, a famous war hero and drug dealer who has come to Japan after supposedly being assassinated.
This was a very nice stand alone episode that was very interesting and entertaining to watch. The …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Coffin is about two brothers who aren’t the best of friends. We see them together, disagreeing. At first, we wonder if the entire story is just going to be about their relationship. It is, but it’s broader that than. Also, interestingly, …
