From a Jack Dalton episode to another Penny Parker episode. I miss the days when MacGyver was doing exotic assignments overseas. In this fourth season episode, Cleo Rocks, MacGyver has been invited to the premier of Penny’s new play. It’s her first real job as an …

I am a great fan of Project Runway, and I have watched all the seasons of the US version. I enjoy the bickering, but I also marvel at the camaraderie that a contest creates with artistic souls. Because I enjoyed this so much, and continue to enjoy it in …

This has got to be one of the best switches I have seen on “House” so far. The story involves a supermodel who punches out another model and then collapses on the catwalk. They discover heroin in her blood and so at first they assume it is that, and …

Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection is actually part two of the story that began in Prometheus the week before. However, they really aren’t connected in terms of the story. Prometheus was an avenue to get the ship in space and meet up with the Asgard.
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection …

„Highlander” episode two of the first season is titled „Innocent Man”. Duncan MacLeod, 400 year old Immortal, accompanied with his mortal girlfriend is on his way to see his old time friend. He’s living in the middle of nowhere and has been out of The Game for a long …

The episode opens with Monarch pursuing Dr. Venture. It’s one of those moments where Monarch is actually a legitimate menace. His men have captured the boys and Hatred is locked in battle with 21. Dr. Venture calls time out because he has to attend a therapy …

The Virginian: The Final Hour was the last episode of the first season and personally, I think it was a poor choice of a season ender. Though the story was poignant, it was terribly downbeat. When a season ends, I want to feel excited about a show …

With his childhood friend Gus, psychic Shawn helps out the local police with his powers to discover the truth in the world of murder and crime. There is only one thing: Shawn (James Roday) is not a psychic but rather a very witty and deductive young man. He is …

In 1973, after the live action had been off the air for several years, an animated version of Star Trek hit the Saturday morning lineup.
The plus of this series was that all of the performers from the live action show returned. Having the original actors voice their characters …

I tuned into the latest Monk episode Friday expecting to find him working on a case that would bring him closer to solving Trudy’s murder. Instead, I was disappointed to learn that wouldn’t be the case.
However, the episode was definitely interesting.
You have two cases going on. One involves the …

Chip N Dale’s Rescue Rangers is a great show about Chip and Dale the chipmunks who solve crimes and mysteries. The show is just great and one of my best childhood memories. If you like cute little chipmunks, then you are going to love this show. The music in the …

This edition of Dancing with the Stars’ 11th season was dubbed TV Theme Week as all of the pairs danced to a TV theme song. Some of the highlights from my point of view follow.
–The first half hour of the show was nothing but a review given by …

I ended up watching one more episode of the show Futurama last night with my daughter (I told her I would before making her go to bed since I hadn’t seen her all day). The episode we watched; Hell is Other Robots, was OK. But, it wasn’t as good …

Talk about great surprises! I was reluctant to watch this show; there are so many medical shows out there. However, I was greatly surprised when I watched Grey’s Anatomy. The show has fantastic character development on top of the appealing storylines. Grey’s Anatomy sets a …

In this episode Jim is doing something new at work, trying. He goes golfing with a client while Michal, Pam, Oscar and Darryl are at a job fair. Before he would have spoken to the person then given up, but since Ryan has given him an official warning and …

Sea Hunt: Underwater Drop, which aired in February 1960, was the fifth show of this adventure series’ third season on television. It’s the second show in a row that has dealt with Mike Nelson, deep sea diver and ex-Navy frogman, working with the Coast Guard. Now in …

Stargate SG-1: The Quest Part 2 was the beginning of the final ten episodes of SG-1 and the conclusion to the mid-season two-parter.
Here is the good and the bad:

Elinor Donahue gets a featured part in The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie Saves a Female when her Ellie Walker, female druggist, takes on the case of Frankie Flint (Edris March). The farm girl is bulging to be a young woman, but as the only child of a widowed …

“Where’s Papa” is an episode of “The Jeffersons”. I enjoyed this episode because it dealt with George’s past, and more specifically, his father. George becomes upset when he discovers his father’s will and in that will, his final request is to be buried next to his wife. George had …

The best part about this episode of “The Clone Wars” was that most of the regular cast wasn’t in it. It’s not that I don’t like the regular cast of characters, it’s just that I know what happens to most of them. Now that is generally true of most …

Sea Hunt: Point of No Return , the opening show of the series’ fourth and final TV season which aired in January 1961, was a bit different. That was mostly a good thing. However, it was also a little confusing in a couple of spots.
The reason the …

The Twilight Zone: Deaths-Head Revisited takes on the holocaust and does it in an eerie style. From the third year of this series, this show introduces us to a former German SS captain as he travels back to Dachau, the concentration camp where he was stationed, at least …

Season 5 begins with M*A*S*H: Bug Out, a show that is full of rumors that the 4077th is bugging out due to an expected attack. At first, it’s believed that the news is nothing but exaggerations and rumors, but then the news comes that they will be bugging …

I grew up in the seventies and when I watched my first episode of That 70s Show, it was extremely nostalgic; it was almost like being transported back in time. The teenagers on that show have the same relationships and experiences that my friends and I had back then. …

Fans of Japanese cartoons- anime- no doubt looked forward to the premiere of the anime Naruto on Cartoon Network Saturday nights. However, devotees of the show are likely to be disappointed by its dub. To those unfamiliar with the process, the original Japanese language track is removed …

When The Virginian aired originally, I just wasn’t a fan. It was a ninety minute show, in color, and starred Lee J Cobb, Doug McClure, Gary Clarke, James Drury, and Roberta Shore. Honestly, the shore bored me. I tried watching it, but I wasn’t attracted to …

Beast Wars - Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1 picks up almost right where the previous episode left off. In this episode, two stasis pods, both of which were damaged in the crash, produce two new Transformers that are quite unlike any of the previous Transformers to emerge from …

The new restaurant Larry has invested in is fast approaching its grand opening, but a apparently grim discovery from Oscar, Jeff’s corpse sniffing dog means the kitchen is excavated as the police move in.
Elsewhere, Larry and the Browdy’s have made their peace and things seem even rosier for …

Christmas is coming up soon, and its time once again for Christmas specials. I noticed that this year the Trailer Park Boys is going to be releasing their Christmas Special on DVD.
I watched this last year with great anticipation. As any of you Trailer Park Boys fans …

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 …

You know, I normally like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but some episodes, like “Beer Bad” are just so stupid, you almost hate to admit you watch the show.
I get the whole point of the episode. The writers want to show the dangers of under aged drinking in a form …

“Bookmice” is the name of a children’s television show which I would watch when I was a small child. I would watch it on a local television channel early in the afternoon and think that it used to come right after the other children’s television show “Professor Iris”. I …

I was so surprised by The Virginian: The Small Parade. I was expecting a parade, as in a circus parade or something, but what I got was a parade of young, adorable orphans. What a great title and what a fun show. As a youngster, I …

Since my youngest daughter has yet to learn to sleep in on the weekends (her older sister and cat have that problem too), I ended up watching some TV with her this morning and ultimately settled for watching Spongebob Squarepants.
The first episode that was on TV this morning was …

The seventh season of Curb picks up pace and marks a vast improvement on the first episode with a largely functional episode designed to oust the Black family and level the playing field for the rest of the season.
While I’ve enjoyed the Black family; it’s about time they step …

The Ghostbusters find themselves bored as there hasn’t been any business for three weeks. It’s kind of weird how one episode has them exhausted from too much work, and then the next episode, they’re upset that there aren’t any new clients. I guess it’s the nature of …

I was home at lunch today and my wife, who was waiting for another show to come on, had the television show Las Vegas on TV. I have never seen this show before so I took a few minutes to watch it and see if it would be something …

Due South: Say Amen is a story that has been done before, in western genres and all other types of dramas. That said, it’s still fairly well done and is entertaining.
The one thing that really makes no sense, though, concerns the character of Inspector Meg Thatcher. We …

Due South: The Duel is another instance of Detective Ray Vecchio dealing with old friends, or rather, in this case an old partner and some menacing force that has a beef with him. Someone is challenging him to prevent all kinds of danger, such as an out of …

I ended up staying up for the repeat showing of last night’s episode of Ghost Hunters; Ghost of Buffalo Bill. And, I have to confess, I ended up falling asleep during the second investigation (involving someone’s house) and can’t tell you how that investigation turned out. But, I’m guessing …

The Twilight Zone: The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine, episode 4 of the series, was the first to deal with people out of place with the times. It’s a theme that was carried out in other episodes, often involving stage, screen, or television. This episode focused on a …

Scrubs is a medical comedy that has held my interest from the beginning. It takes on an easy going, humorous, and sometimes plain crazy look into the lives of the doctors of Sacred Heart hospital. There’s Elliot: a woman just trying to fit in and let loose …

For the second time, a special telethon-like program called Stand Up 2 Cancer aired on several networks on September 10, 2010. With all three network news anchors — Brian Williams, Katie Couric, and Diane Sawyer — appearing together, the one hour event is unique in that it aired …

From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid is a terrific show. It’s so dramatic, but I love the humor in it. This 19th show of the third season begins with a cute scene in the control room of the Seaview. It …

The first few times I saw this show, I didn’t really grasp the concept and couldn’t figure out why a police investigative team would have some random guy (who used to be a con artist) on their team. It just seemed like a stretch. Of course, I have been …

This is a non-Robert Fuller episode of Wagon Train, except for a piece of stock footage inserted at the tail end of the show for comedic effect. The man had a great contract, that’s for sure. The Bleeker Story is the story of a family that Duke …

Well, when I heard last night’s House episode, 5 to 9, was being told through the eyes of Cuddy versus House, I had some serious doubts. She is quickly becoming my least favorite character on the show and I didn’t think I would enjoy the episode.
But, I have to …

My daughter and I ended up watching a couple older Scooby Doo episodes last night; the episodes where Scooby and the Mystery Gang meet Batman and Robin and help them solve crimes involving some familiar characters from that series.
The first episode, The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair, proved to be …

From December 1967, the 12th show of its fourth year, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Blow Up has a new twist for the viewers to enjoy. It’s not exactly the typical ‘body take over’ theme that is so popular in science fiction shows, but it’s more …

The Office was adapted from the BBC show of the same title and is by far one of the funniest and smartest shows on television. It was adapted for the US by Greg Daniels, the producer of The Simpsons and King of the Hill, and, in my opinion, …
