Jeremiah: Out of the Ashes was an interesting episode with a couple of different focuses. Much like the previous story, Moon in Gemini, the heroes are split up more than they are together, which I believe is a shame. Buddy shows work best when the chemistry between …

The season 1 DVD set for the “Adam-12″ TV series is a disaster. Universal Studios did a lousy job, almost as if they wanted the series to fail on DVD. It’s a low quality, full of freezes set.

I really enjoy watching Laramie: Saddle and Spur from the first season of this terrific western TV series. It guest stars Beverly Garland, who is recognizable from shows like My Three Sons and The Scarecrow and Mrs. King. She’s really great in this episode as she plays …

The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and Opie’s Pal, from January 13, 1964, was one of the few episodes where Opie’s human fallacies came out.

First up, though, is some competition madness …

I can’t wait until the premiere of Dancing With The Stars March 22, 2010, so I can see Pamela Anderson dance. I’m pretty sure a lot of people who usually wouldn’t watch the show will tune in this season just to see how skimpy Pamela’s costumes will be. …

Sister Sister is a very funny TV show that has always made me laugh. I thin the episodes are pretty well written and fun. The show is about two twin sisters. Tia and Tamara look a lot alike but they have very different personalities. I think both of the twins …

Last night, I finally got to get my Simpsons fix by watching a re-run on network TV. And, I was glad to see it was an episode I have seen in the past and loved; The Cartridge Family.
The episode starts out making fun of soccer (and how Americans think …

You can tell from the title that this episode is going to be either an homage or a take off on Plan 9 from Outer Space. It’s pretty wacky, but oddly interesting anyway.
In Probe: Plan 10 from Outer Space, Truman Smith (Michael Constantine) calls his friend Austin James …

Sea Hunt: Counterfeit, from February 1960, began with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) relaxing on vacation in the Bahamas. I did chuckle on the narration when he mentioned that his chosen activity while on vacation was skin diving, which is, of course, his occupation.

As another year of viewing pleasure draws to end, a sizable heap of shows lie cancelled, victims of the dreaded, unforgiving axe.
