Notorious is an hour long program that airs each and every week on The Biography Channel. I try to watch Notorious, although I can not say that I am able to catch this program every time it airs. I like Notorious because I learn about people that I had …

The second season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, titled “Samaritan Snare” has a few comical moments to it, but ultimately, the episode is a real mess. By mess, I mean the story is pretty weak and implausible and even boring. In this episode, the Enterprise answers a …

The sixth entry for the third season of Highway Patrol, which stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, was called Hostage Family Copter. Yes, it’s another show that features the helicopter. This crime drama loved showcasing this mode of transportation, which as we all know today can …

Wow, prayers actually do get answered, or rather, episodes tend to usually get increasingly more and more interesting as the season finale approaches. With only six episodes left (including this one), it’s almost as if Season 2 has been holding out on us, saving all the good stuff for …

I have to say, as much as I love Robin Williams the comedian, he definitely has the ability to play villains so sinister you’ll want to see him more of those roles.
Last night’s Law & Order: SVU episode (entitled Authority) is the perfect example. Williams plays a man who …

Family Guy returns with the latest instalment in the Stewie and Brian centric “Road to..” episodes, with mixed success.
Usually, the “Road to…” episodes have always been great, especially the more recent ones. Brian and Stewie are unmatchable combination and the writing is usually on top form. However, this one …

This is one of the latest episodes of CSI: Las Vegas. While I give it up for them for trying out something new, I didn’t really care much for this episode. Other than being completely different from other episodes, I didn’t really like anything about it. I thought it …

After watching House and Cuddy kiss last week, I expected this week’s episode “The Itch” to deal with their possible relationship.
Instead, we got a boring storyline about how they are still trying to decide what to do regarding the kiss; which ends with House outside her door in the …

After jetting off to meet his birth …

Ice Road Truckers: Lisa’s Monster Megahaul was aptly named because a lot of the hour focused on Lisa Kelly’s assignment to work with Jack and Carrie on a heavy load assignment. Lisa’s my favorite on this show. I like her. She has intelligence and strength of …

Ed Marinaro had the title guest starring role in 1987’s Private Eye: Nickey the Rose. He’s a mobster type of guy from circa 1956, living high and with a high profile lady on his arm. That would be Rita Marlowe, as played by Susan Blakely. She’s a …

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. …

Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …

I wasn’t real impressed with The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Day It Rained Forever, a story of this science fiction anthology series that originally was seen on television in November 1990. The acting was okay, but I wasn’t taken by the story. It was slow, lacked much …

I have to say, as far as Buffy the Vampire Slayer goes, the third season has got to be one of the most violent seasons I have seen of any series. The finale; a two part episode entitled “Graduation Day” is a great example.
Let’s see, in the first half …

Many years ago the Daily Show gained a cult following under the leadership of its original host, Craig Kilborn. With success came better offers for Mr. Kilborn, however, and he eventually made the switch to network television. John Stewart took his place.
Initially lacking, he soon came to …

Naruto is finally releasing the power of the nine tails and with chakra swirling all around him and taking on a life of its own this should be an awesome, action packed episode. Or so one would think if one wanted to be wrong. All of Haku’s attacks are …

Season 6 of Full House is without a doubt my favorite season. The show finally grew beyond its awkwardness of the previous season, while introducing new characters and focusing on some long forgotten characters like Kimmie Gibbler from next door.
The main reason I loved this season so much …

Every kid in America had to feel for Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) in this episode of The Andy Griffith Show. It’s their hope and their nightmare both. The show, Opie’s Ill-Gotten Gain, from November 1963 begins innocently enough with Opie attempting to do his math homework, only …

I was home yesterday afternoon and was flipping channels on TV since it was too cold outside to do anything.
One of the shows I ended up coming across was Cold Case Files. At first, I thought I would be a lot like the series Cold Case; in other words, …

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 …

Hallejulah! Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Storm Warning is the final episode of the series. I don’t think I’ve been this glad to see the last episode on a DVD in a long, long time, but that’s how boring and ineffectual this TV series was.
In reality, Storm Warning …

Well, last week’s episode of Ghost Hunters at The Rock wasn’t bad. But, this week’s episode, at Fort Ticonderoga was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.
Here they have this giant fort that has a bunch of claims coming from it and the best evidence they can catch …

Another of the extended episodes of The Office, Launch party continues the story of Ryan’s implementations of the new website, but it isn’t one of the better episodes feeling as if they stretched out a normal episode into an hour.
Most of the stuff that Michal does is repetitive and …

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. …

In The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Deep in the Heart of Dixie, Socrates has fallen for his boss’ secretary. Unfortunately, this whole part of the plot was pretty predictable and sadly for Socrates, I was right with my assumptions. It wouldn’t be a surprise to many …

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 …

Mash was an old TV show that took awhile to grow onto me but after watching it a few times I thought that the show ended up being great and there was so much that was funny about this show and I honestly think that this show was great. …

The Twilight Zone: Execution is not an episode I enjoy all that much, and that is despite the fact that I tend to enjoy time travel stories. The setup is that a modern day scientist decides to test out his new gadget and ends up bringing an outlaw …

I have watched many different news commentators in my life but none can ever compare to channel 4 MBC Mr. Matt Lauer. He has such an expertise in the field of newscasting. Its simply amazing how you can actually feel the sensitivity in his heart when he …

Storm Over Shiloh was the 23rd episode of the 90 minute western The Virginian in its 7th season on the air. This is one of the more ensemble stories, meaning it’s one I tend to enjoy more than others. I’m really not very fond of shows where …

Last night, I ended up waiting for a re-run of the Simpsons to come on TV (like I do most evenings) and was a bit disappointed it was one I had seen a couple times before; The Principal and the Pauper. However, after watching it again, I did realize …

I admit that I watch cartoons and to be honest I’m a bit choosy when I watch because I only want to tune in to a good and humorous cartoons and I hate a show that is full of nonsense. While my sister is watching television I watched with …

Narcotics Racket is the 17th episode of Highway Patrol’s fourth and final season on the air. The show stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as Sergeant Ken Williams. In my book, Boyett is the reason to watch this half hour program.
Terry Blake guest …

The show Next top Model featuring Tyra Banks is great. While it is on channel 11. The show is also featured on MTV which I do like more as they run the marathons so you can watch the entire season in one sitting instead of waiting week …

The beauty of The Twilight Zone: Ninety Years Without Slumbering belongs to one person and one person only — Ed Wynn, who portrays Sam Forstmann. Sam is a kind older man living with his daughter and her husband. He has with him an old grandfather clock, a …

OK, I�ll admit, I only tuned in this week because the car crash promo had me interested. Who gets seriously hurt; Olivia or Elliott�s pregnant wife?
Overall though, I thought this episode was weak at best. You had a debate about whether a child should know if his father isn�t …

Highway Patrol: Portrait of Death is the 7th episode of the fourth year, airing back in November 1958. Police dramas were different then. This show which has been considered a leader from early television is rather tame and has some real staging and directing problems. However, …
