Laramie: Hour After Dawn from season one presents some real inner conflict, especially for Slim Sherman, the rancher played by John Smith. As often happens, Slim has to sub for the sheriff when the man is injured and insists on Slim doing the job. Ultimately, the hanging …

In the past, I really wasn’t much of a Family Guy fan. I would watch the show and laugh at a few of the jokes but thought a lot of the stuff was a bit too crude for my tastes so I never was a huge fan.
I’m not sure …

America’s Next Top Model: Patricia Field was the 2nd show of the current high fashion season. The show was the one where the models receive makeovers, which usually sends a couple of them over the edge from the anxiety of having their hair cut or colored.

I am reviewing The Six Napoleons, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventure of Sherlock HOlmes, which was produced in 1984 by Granada television. This episode finds Sherlock Holmes assisting Lestrade in a most bizarre mystery. Some mad man keeps destroying the last remaining six Napoleon …

I had been introduced to the game Trapped when Jake found it on the CBBC Games website . It was great when he was channel hopping and found the t.v show on CBBC. I presume that it was the t.v show that came first, then converted into the computer …

Episode number four from Tenspeed and Brown Shoe is another one of those long, crazy titles. It’s called The Sixteen Byte Data Chip and the Brown-eyed. Below are a few thoughts about this March 1980 episode.
–For once, the romance was turned around. In the first three …

Back in 2003, Whoopi Goldberg starred in a TV show for the NBC network. It was, naturally, a situation comedy. Now I’m not all that fond of modern sitcoms because the humor is too provocative for my tastes. I wanted to watch this, though, because I …

Now this is more like it. With all of the plot setup out of the way, this episode manages to deliver everything you’d want in an episode of Doctor Who. All the things that were missing have come back here to deliver a very enjoyable conclusion to …

From February 1968, the 20th show of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s last season (it’s fourth) on television, Man-Beast, aired. It’s a show I have mixed feelings about because of the story’s plot. The primary guest star was Lawrence Montaigne, who played a scientist named …

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, …

The middle of the 1963-1964 season of The Twilight Zone was definitely the best. There’s a group of decent, entertaining shows that are surrounded by many more mediocre and cringed-filled episodes. I’m happy to say that this outing called You Drive was one of the interesting ones. …

Stargate Atlantis: Remnants continues the exploits of the Atlantis team in the Pegasus Galaxy. In this 15th show of the farewell season, the opening scenes have my head spinning. There’s just way too much going on, all presented in very short segments. More time needed to …

The Singing Office is a fun little show on The Learning Channel. The hosts are Joey Fatone and Mel B, two performers who owe a lot of their current success to Dancing with the Stars. Joey’s having a blast with his return to popularity, while the Spice …

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a bigger fan of earlier Simpsons episodes rather than later ones. And, tonight’s episode “Wedding for Disaster” is a good example of why.
This was one of the most pointless episodes I’ve seen. You have Marge and Homer being “unmarried” once again and, because Homer …

The game show that can make you an instant millionaire simply by answering 15 questions. They start you off with the first five questions being relatively easy as common knowledge, things that you would hear about daily, kids stuff and then after you answer those first five questions correctly …

When the movie Jeepers Creepers came out a few years ago, I thought it was one of the better horror movies I’ve seen. In fact, I haven’t seen the movie in quite some time but can still remember pretty much the entire thing; a sign of a good movie.
I …

I remember watching Jennifer Aniston on Ellen and it was really cool. Jen is very humble and natural and she has this great hair, even years before. I think it was a long-time episode come to think of it now, because at that time she was still married to …

For Halloween 2010, the SyFy Network aired a six hour live broadcast (well, if you were on the east coast anyway) called Ghost Hunters Halloween Live. I tuned in for the entire marathon broadcast and below are a few of my reactions.
–The overall was too much of a …

The biggest part of Black Gold’s 4th episode from season three was on new driller Ben’s first day on the job. The question was rather or not he could control the unruly bunch of crew and get them to do their jobs.
What is funny about that to me …

A Kiss Saves the Day was the second lap on the race around the globe in the Emmy award winning reality series, The Amazing Race. The teams ended up in Africa where people are everywhere; it’s almost like India. They all had a reaction to the abundance …

This past weekend, my wife was away for the weekend so I hade a chance to watch television unencumbered by the thought process. When such opportunities occur, I often find myself watching either old TV shows, or westerns. This week I got to do both.
I find episode number four …

One of the ongoing jokes in the first season of the Emperor’s New School is how he had to share the attic with Pacha’s kids while being forced to live as a peasant. So, the episode, Room for Improvement, is quick to get rid of that joke by simply …

I haven’t seen the Simpson’s episode “Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington” until tonight. And, I think it was fantastic.
Some of the later Simpsons episodes have been kind of terrible. But, this one was actually pretty good. It reminded me of what made the show great to begin with.
In the …

Undercovers: Xerxes continued the spying adventures of Steven and Samantha Bloom, a husband and wife team who also own a catering business. However, this is now a sideline as the two have been recruited to go on missions yet again for the Central Intelligence Agency.
Below are a few …

Well, I obviously have watched the show Law & Order SVU a bit too much in my lifetime because the cases are becoming a bit too easy to solve.
Last night’s episode, Sugar, was a good example of this.
I didn’t even get to see the first few minutes of the …

Touching Evil: Entropy celebrates the third year of the OSC, the FBI unit which David Creegan works for, and they celebrate by having a party. Like their cases, the party is odd. It’s like everyone lost their sanity. Strange.
Throughout Touching Evil: Entropy, Creegan is looking for …

Alias Smith and Jones: The Girl in Boxcar #3 has some drama and poignancy to it, and while I enjoy it, it also is the first show that has Hannibal Heyes (Pete Duel) and Kid Curry (Ben Murphy) apart for much of the time. This serves to allow …

Sanctuary is a new TV show on the SyFy channel. I was skeptical about the show at first. I mean the concept looked intriguing by the overall look of the show looked a tad too cheap for me, plus it was on the SyFy channel. I guess I should’ve …

It’s almost Christmas and there are plenty of Christmas specials on the air right now. Last night, one of the TV stations aired the half hour long special Frosty the Snowman and we decided to let our daughter watch it.
I have seen that special a couple different times but …

Everybody Loves Raymond is a great comedy sitcom. I like that this sitcom actually portrays real-life circumstances. The characters in Everybody Loves Raymond are down-right hilarious, especially Raymond and his dad. Raymond is married and has three children. He lives next door to his doting/nosy mother Marie and comical …

Season two of Star Trek begins with a much loved episode with some classic dialog in it — Amok Time. It was a great choice for a season opener, and it’s proved to be a fan favorite for decades. The basic upshot is that Spock is going …

Blacke’s Magic: Vanishing Act aired on February 12, 1986, and quite honestly, I’m very prejudiced towards it because I was lucky enough to be on the set a couple of days, including one of the location shoots. I was able to meet the director, Walter Grauman, as well …

Cold Case Files is beginning its new season in a few weeks, and this viewer literally can not wait! This show is just outstanding, if you ask me. Not only is it always interesting because it evaluates murder mysteries from over fourty years ago, which I always …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Tomorrow’s Child, which was one of the last episodes of this science fiction series to air back in August 1992, started out with a neat shot of a vessel speeding across the water. As we closed in, we saw that it was being driven …

Boston Legal stars James Spader and William Shatner
This show could have easily been another dull lawyer show but these two actors and the weekly introduction of weird characters make this a comedy hit. I remember The Practice and seeing James Spader introduced to that cast list. …

This episode picks up where the season finale left off…sort of. It isn’t told in chronological order, rather it’s shuffled up. The differences were so drastic that I was convinced that they were introducing a multiverse, with one being real and the other taking place in …

I started watching this show a while back. At first I didn’t really like it but the more I watched I started to really enjoy it. Now it’s a show I watch all the time. I just wish they would come out with a new season. It’s pretty funny. …

Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost is a story from the final season of Wagon Train. It’s a little unusual for a western to have this type of story. I think it was perhaps their strange attempt at a Christmas tale since the story aired in Mid-December of …
