John Doe: Idaho is probably my favorite episode of this science fiction show thus far. Actually, the plot device used here is pretty much an easy to guess one, but it’s nicely done and you really aren’t sure until the story progresses quite a bit. Logic tells you …

The Andy Griffith Show: A Plaque for Mayberry has one of my favorite crazy Barney Fife scenes. It’s right at the beginning of this first season episode, when town drunk Otis Campbell (Hal Smith) is ready to be released from his latest incarceration, only Deputy Fife thinks he …

A while back when I was watching Lifetime a lot I started to watch a show called still standing. It’s actually pretty funny. The parents are my favorite on the show. Bill and Judy are there names. The kids aren’t really all that funny. I like the show because …

In the nineteen nineties, I had gotten very used to living around the local television stations’ boring and unpredictable schedule.

There’s some excitement in Death of an Expert Witness - Part 5 as Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) continues the search for a murderer. However, as always happens in P.D. James novels that are turned into TV series, there’s never just one murder. Death breeds death …

Once again, we’re given a teaser where there isn’t any explicit paranormal activity. It’s very bizarre. You’d think that the writers would want to hook you with something overtly bizarre, but the last couple of episodes have been far more mundane. Granted, the bizarreness of the …

This episode was certainly a drastic shift from others that had come before it. While humor would occasionally spring its head in the form of some deadpan quipping or a funny comment from Frohike, we never really saw it manifest itself to this extent. Even more impressive …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Best of Both Worlds Part Two is almost as good as part one, although it too unfortunately suffers from a few flaws like the first half. For example, it is real unfortunate that the episode does not show any of the fleet’s …

I love the OFFICE on NBC. This has been a favorite of mine for several years, and I never miss an episode thanks to DVR! Last nite I stayed up late to watch my recently recorded new episode of The Office, starring Steve Carrell. Wow, it was great! I …

While this episode of Stargate SG1 was probably supposed to be dramatic, I found myself laughing through half of it. No, I was not laughing at the stupidity of the episode, like I have done with several television shows. Instead, I was laughing at their humor even …

So far, watching re-runs of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer every night has revealed two things about the show. First, Sarah Michelle Gellar is hot. Second, for every good episode of the series, there is at least two bad episodes.
The episode out of mind, out of sight was one …

Nanny Daddy is a local TV drama serial that I’m watching currently and it’s reaching its finale episodes pretty soon. It stars the ever charming Adrian Pang and the character lady Aihua, which I don’t really know her real name.
The story is about Adrian’s persona in the …

The beginning of the episode was, for no better choice of words, plain cool. It was so unexpected that it grabbed my attention right from the beginning. They did a really good job with this one. It was potentially a really tricky subject, but they handled it quite well, …

The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can is definitely one of my favorite episodes of this series. I consider it to be one of the classics, in the top 15 of all the shows. What I really love about this show is the spirit, the message of …

Every so often there’s an episode from the Law and Order franchise that disturbs you and makes you feel uncomfortable. For me that was this episode of Criminal Intent. The episode starts out calmly enough, with a man trying to raise money, though he doesn’t say what. He tries …

The fun part of Adam-12: The Adoption has nothing to do with the crime stories, but with a wager made between Pete and Jim. Jim wins the bet, so Pete takes the Reeds out for dinner. Jim was ready for it, too, not having eaten anything else. …

Beast Wars - Call of the Wild is an episode that I found a little on the boring side even though the basic concept is an interesting one: what would happen if the Maximals were forced to stay in beast mode for an extended period of time? Apparently, according …

Imagine if you could relive your last week knowing what you and other people did wrong and you could change that. Well, that what they do in this show. They have this machine they use to travel back in time 7 days and they fix things.
In this episode an …

I would prefer to watch So You Think You Can Dance instead of other shows like American Idol or America’s Got Talent because there’s something that stands out to me about that show. I love seeing how many talented people there are out there, and they way that they …

I think that Are you Smarter than a 5th grader is a pretty cool TV show. The idea is original and has never been done before. So this makes the show really cool in my eyes. I mean it’s funny to see 5th grader’s be able ot answer questions that …

The usual three rounds, beginning with the taste challenge where the four contestants had to choose various colored ingredients to blend together in 45 minutes to create a delicious cupcake, were part of this latest episode of Cupcake Wars labeled Good Cause Cupcakes. The title comes from the …

The idea behind The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and the Gentleman Crook is that the Mayberry jail is going to hold a famous outlaw for a night. This is something that puts Deputy Barney Fife in a state of utter exhilaration. He is overjoyed that Gentleman Dan …

This is a series that I was entirely skeptical about but after a few youtube videos that I have come across randomly I decided to give it a try. Now, from just the pilot, I can not tell you for sure if I have liked it or not, …

This could have really been a quite good episode of Sliders. It has a somewhat interesting take on some of the problems that face our own world (the idea of diminishing resources), a chance for our four homesick Sliders to finally make their way home as well as …

“School’s Challenge Quiz” is a Jamaican educational television show which has aired on Jamaican television for approximately 40 seasons now.

Diagnosis Murder: Sister Michael Wants You guest stars Delta Burke in a delightful role as Sister Michael, an old friend of Mark Sloan’s who has a powerful punch and a lot of street know how. Sloan is portrayed by Dick Van Dyke, of course. In the story, …

From season two, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Moor’s Revenge is half comedy, half drama, though it’s more laughter than gunfight. This is the first time I can recall that the guest stars had their names in the opening title and not just at the end. …

The Star Trek television series has always been a favorite of mine. It’s among the best ever in terms of talking about the human condition and ideals. Gene Roddenberry created this wonderful show which has spawned several spin offs and several movies. This original series starred …

I have watched this show called house of Payne quite a few times. In general I really like it. It’s funny and entertaining. I watch it quite a bit now. Some episodes aren’t as good as others but that is true with any show. I like this show because …

Season one of MacGyver continues on with an episode called Flame’s End which featured Tannis Montgomery as Amy Austin. The actress had a short career and according to the IMDB, this was actually her last performance. Watching it again now, I kept wondering why she looked so …

Actor Michael Parks made a huge splash in a TV series called Then Came Bronson. He was a philosophical motorcycle biker making his way around America. When I see him, that’s what I think about, even if the show I’m turning on is a classic western like …

I’ve been curious about this new discussion type series with William Shatner called Shatner’s Raw Nerve, but I’ve never watched it until now. This is probably the tenth or so episode that I know of, and it featured Leonard Nimoy. I’ve seen Shatner and Nimoy in person …

JD’s gone for good. Interestingly enough, Elliot decides to come in and make an appearance. I’ve noticed that the writing for the returning cast is still pretty spot on, but it’s the new characters who kind of drag it down.
Ok, Lucy is pretty amicable and Cole is pretty …

I got home in time last night to watch some re-runs of That 70s Show, including one I haven’t seen before; Backstage Pass.
This one was actually a pretty funny episode; well at least part of it was.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the part involving the friends trying to …

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 …
