Well, since I was up anyway after watching Project Runway, I did take the time to watch Models of the Runway again (though I do think the show is getting a bit on the boring side now).
For the most part, it was pretty much the same old stuff. A …

The first season of Roseanne actually held up a lot better than I thought it would, especially considering that the show first aired almost two decades ago. I picked up the box set fairly cheap and ended up watching the whole season in one weekend because it was really …

I was looking forward to last night’s Ghost Hunters episode “Little Drummer Boy” but, after watching it, I have to be honest with you. It was very forgettable when compared to some of the great episodes the show has produced.
The first case had them investigating an old church that, …

As I mentioned in another review, my wife and I were watching re-runs of the show Bones this past weekend and finally got to watch one that we have seen references to from other episodes but never actually watched before; Aliens in a Spaceship.
This proved to be a very …

Every once in a while, I’ll come across a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode that uses a concept that has been done maybe a dozen times in various other shows and cartoons. The Replacement is one of those episodes.
Once again, the series decides to focus on one of the …

I watched another season three episode of Ghost Hunters over the weekend and have to say it was entertaining.
In “Toys of Terror” the TAPS team is asked to investigate a house by a woman who is terrified of the things she has seen and heard there. What’s interesting about …

One of my all time favorite episodes of Emergency! is Brushfire from season one. It’s John Gage’s first brush fire, and it brings with it some neat entertainment.
My favorite sub-plot is the one concerning a young boy who breaks his arm in the fire, but he’s …

The season finale of Ice Road Truckers was called New King of the Dalton, which gives away part of the story from the beginning. Obviously, the laid back veteran Jack Jessee wasn’t going to be the king of the road again with this episode moniker.
A good part of …

From January 1960, Sea Hunt: Hot Cargo deals with Mike Nelson leading the first underwater flotilla command for the Coast Guard, which is a bit of a twist. We’ve seen Nelson on reserve duty for the Navy, which is logical since he’s an ex-Navy frogman, but what we …

OK, I have to admit it, the Family Guy episode “Peter’s Daughter” has got to be one of the funniest episodes I’ve seen of any program on television.
There are two major plot points to this episode; both related to a flood that takes place in the opening minutes.
First, you …

Every time I watch Big Bang Theory I like it more. This is a smart show which manages to be almost constantly funny. In this episode Sheldon needs to find a ride because Leonard is working nights for a couple weeks.
Sheldon is almost always funny, but watching him in …

So You Think You Can Dance - Top Six Perform Again was a terrific night of TV viewing. Rather than going routine by routine, here are my thoughts on the top six.
Kent - He was just awesome. He’s been my favorite throughout the series. He’s the …

The Return is the seventh episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. This is pretty good episode featuring dozens of the Justice Leaguers, including many we rarely see, uniting against a threat of unimaginable power. After six episodes focusing on smaller groups of heroes, it was nice to …

I had really high hopes for The Philanthropist when I first saw the commercials. It looked like an exciting action/adventure show with a real human element, and important moral message. The pilot lived up to those expectations. Telling the story of a billionaire who suddenly snaps …

My wife and I got a chance to watch the new TV series called The Middle last night, specifically their episode “Christmas.”
I’m not sure but I believe this is a spin off of the show Malcolm in the Middle, a series I never watched. But, I will admit, this …

I watched a re-run of The Simpson’s yesterday, Brawl in the Family, and wasn’t very impressed with it.
The episode starts out with the Republican Party doing something evil and trying to destroy the environment, which leads to acid rain and, since the family is stuck indoors without TV, they …

I’ve always liked Star Trek: Tomorrow Is Yesterday, an episode where future returns to the past. In this outing, the Enterprise goes back in time to the late 1960’s Earth. It’s a neat twist.
Roger Perry normally bores me in his roles, but I like this portrayal of …

Kim Possible. This is a funny TV show. The lines are brilliant for what it is. I have gotten more than a few good chuckles out of this show … until reruns got to the point of ‘ew, change the channel to the news’. Anyway, I think Will Friedle …

After years upon years of watching The Twilight Zone, there are maybe two or three that don’t immediately pop out at me where I don’t instantly know the story when it comes on TV. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge from season five is one of those. …

Much like the Project Runway final challenge episode that preceded it, last night’s Models of the Runway episode was one that was kind of predictable.
As I have said in past reviews. The major flaw with this show is, with very few exceptions, the designers almost always stay with their …

Weird is weird and that’s pretty much how I feel about The Ray Bradbury Theater: Touched with Fire despite the fact that it has a guest cast that includes Barry More and Eileen Brennan. Basically the plot of this August 1990 science fiction outing has two aging and …

Rescue Me with Dennis Leary.
Dennis Leary did stand up comedy, I think, as a persona of the pessimistic character that is just an ugly drunk. Doing a series full of negative speaking characters is definitely a viewer’s nightmare.
The Show starts off with …

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 …

This May 2010 episode of Medium, which is probably the second to the last of the entire series, really touched home. In fact, it’ll probably be a while before I eat pork again. I’ve gone through phases like that before because I am a huge animal lover. …

This episode opens up with a shirtless Richard Dean Anderson. Woman everywhere swooned. He immediately gets a hug from the woman he’s rescuing. That’s standard fare for this TV series.
The opening gambit was fun, with MacGyver and the woman geologist shooting the rapids, but it was …
