CHiPs: The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs
A couple of months after the second season of CHiPs ended, NBC put together a special two-hour event called The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs. I’m not sure what the intent was, if they just needed to feel a time slot and thought this was a way to do …

A Taste for Death - Part 1 from the P.D. James novel was produced in 1988 and starred Roy Marsden as Inspector Adam Dalgliesh. Like most of these movies/mini-series that are made, this is a story with lots of little subplots and a lot of characters. It …

Californication (Showtime TV series)
I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about whether I would like this little show. Other cable series have shown that shock value is all the rage. Programs like “The Carnivale”, “Six Feet Under”, “Weeds,” and even “Sex and the City” have groomed the viewer …

Family Feud
I love this show! It is so much fun to play along and try to guess the right answers along with the contestants on tv.

Law & Order: SVU
If you’re looking for a show to watch Tuesday nights, Law & Order Special Victims Unit is it. It has to be the best of the Law & Order franchise and I make sure never to miss an episode.
In addition to being a great crime drama, the storylines in …

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 …

Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Judge Judy Sheindlin TV Show
For the past couple of years, actor William Shatner has had a very interesting half hour series called Shatner’s Raw Nerve. It’s a great concept, and it’s not a normal talk show. It really is a one on one chat between Shatner and his guest, which in …
John Adams: Peacefield TV Show
John Adams: Peacefield is the seventh and final installment of this HBO mini-series that dealt with the life and times of John Adams, as played by Paul Giamatti. His wife Abigail was portrayed beautifully and painfully by Laura Linney in what I think is her best performance ever. …

Stargate SG-1: Fragile Balance is a very nice episode of the seventh season. In this episode, a teenager shows up at the SGC, claiming to be Jack.

Halfway through its second season, Star Trek aired The Gamesters of Triskelion in which Kirk, Uhura, and Chekhov are taken from the Enterprise to Triskelion where they are enslaved as thralls, forced to fight for the amusement of their captors.
I can’t say much about the costumes in this arena …
The Virginian: Nobility of Kings TV Show
The Virginian: Nobility of Kings wasn’t much of a favorite for me. It featured Charles Bronson as Ben Justin, a new rancher to the Medicine Bow area. He had a huge chip on his shoulder do and was one of those “I’ll do it myself” types, even …
Sea Hunt: Man Overboard TV Show
Airing on October 1, 1960 was the final show of Sea Hunt’s third season. Seasons were different back in the day, and they were much longer. This show, Man Overboard, was actually the 39th program of the year. Can you imagine? I do miss the …

Sorry it took me so long to take the time to write about Thursday’s episode of Bones; The Gamer in the Grease. I had intended on watching it Thursday night and discovered it was difficult to do while taking care of a sick baby and trying to get my …
Law & Order SVU: Authority
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 …
Cult Classic Television Show: The X-Files by Chris Carter
When The X-Files first aired on television, my parents prevented me from watching, saying I was too young. This did not bode well with me, since my older brother was allowed to watch the show with my parents. Consequently, when my friend ordered Netflix a few months ago, I …

That Girl - Season One DVD set

The season, as well as Eccleston’s run as the Doctor, wraps up as the Dalek’s plan to wipe out all life on Earth. As one Dalek was a formidable threat, thousands of them are a bit beyond problematic, even Rose points this out early on.
Just as one Dalek …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 14: Doomsday
So ends the second season and Billie Piper’s run as Rose Tyler. With an ominous prediction from Satan, I was expecting Rose to die, and the episode really plays up the possibility, with Rose’s voice over confirming it.
“Shockingly”, it turns out that the Beast was lying, or at …
Highway Patrol: Motorcycle B TV Show
This 1957 episode of Highway Patrol may be called Motorcycle B. That’s how it’s listed on the IMDB. However, the problem with a lot of shows is that they don’t include the episode title in the credits. That’s the case with Highway Patrol. There’s probably …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Chase

The Virginian: Girl on the Glass Mountain TV Show

House M.D.
First off, let me tell you all that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Usually I don’t like dramas too much, but this one is exceptional. It stars Hugh Laurie, Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Robert Sean Leonard, Jennifer Morrison, and Jesse Spencer.
The Show is all about a doctor named …
VH1’s I Love Money
Another reality show from VH1, it would seem that VH1, MTV, BET and quite a few other cable networks are all competeing to see who can broadcastthe most reality programs anually. If you ask me, the reality bit is played out and they are just fishing at the bottom …
