Apparently, when you do a show like this, you have to have a Devil’s Island type of prison. For Bring ‘Em Back Alive, it was Kampoon. For Tales of the Gold Monkey, we get to see their version in Escape from Death Island. It begins with
Jake …

Though American Horror Story: Asylum is a fairly popular show, I wanted to warn against it. The show is full of sexual content, and violence. After watching the first episode it is clear that the show relies more on shock value than storyline or suspense building techniques. Think more …

Nicholas Pryor guest stars as Major Nathaniel Burnham in M*A*S*H: Rumor at the Top from season ten. This is one of those shows that proves the old adage that assumptions are dangerous. They call it a rumor, but it begins with an assumption.
It comes down the line …

Jumong, a Korean series is really a good historical drama. I have never been following any historical series or movies of Korean nature. I usually watch more of the European wars, and or Chinese historical movies. Jumong is the first I watched from Korea, and all the characters are …

One thing I’ve noticed in the final season of Monk is the cases are somewhat easy to solve but the episodes still manage to be entertaining from a comedy standpoint.
This was the case last night with Happy Birthday Mr. Monk.
The episode, of course, had Monk celebrating his (50th) birthday. …

Family Guy is a TV series which has been met with a mixed reception and its own fair share of controversies since its release several years ago. After initially being taken off the air after its first season it was brought back after overwhelming fan support despite some persistent …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Great Mojave Chase, episode 3 of season 1, starts out with some fun humor, all stemming from Paladine buying a camel to take across the Mojave Desert. It creates quite a stir. Written by Gene Roddenberry, the best part was the …

“Pokemon Emergency!” is the second episode of the Pokemon television series and it picks up pretty much right where the previous episode, “Pokemon, I Choose You!” left off. This episode covers almost as much ground as the first episode does, and it really is an half-hour that goes by …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Young Gun is the ninth episode of this second season. It actually feels like a response to, or an extension of, the sixth show, The Protegé that had Peter Breck as a guest star. The circumstances are a little different, but …

OK, I know I have written about Charter Communications in the past and many of those reviews haven’t been very flattering. But, tonight really took the cake so I once again have to tell people about them.
Quite honestly, the only reason I even bother with Charter is they are …

Mercy is a new hospital drama on NBC on Wednesday nights at 8. I started watching it from the pilot, expecting a half decent medical show. I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are very appealing, the medicine is realistic, and the plotline is dynamic enough to …

This is a quiz show which comprises of two teams of two strangers. They meet each other on that night and then play against the champions. You have to make up lists of for example Capital citites of Europe one team will say they can …

I haven’t watched too many new episodes of the Simpson’s lately so I didn’t realize last night’s episode Great Wife Hope, was a repeat rather than a new episode (I looked it up this morning).
In any case, it really wasn’t as good of an episode as I thought it …

I’m very glad I’ve added the CHiPs The Complete First Season DVD Set to my collection. The show stars Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, and Robert Pine, among others, and is about a unit of the California Highway Patrol. The shows are a hour long and are mostly …

I have to admit, that was a pretty funny episode of That 70s Show; “Baby Don’t You do It.”
I think I reviewed the episode that happened prior to this one, where Eric and Donna think she’s pregnant because she missed a pill. Well, this is a follow up episode …

Even as an adult I love to watch Spongebob Squarepants. I think that little sponge is so adorable and he is so funny. In this episode, there is a bully in which he comes into the Krusty Krab and accuses Spongebob of making a Krabby Patty incorrectly. …

From 1958, Sea Hunt: Girl in the Trunk is a bit of a different story, and that’s partly what makes it interesting; that is, interesting to a point. What was a potentially good and different show turned into a murderous soap opera, and that was sad and disappointing.
The …

It really is hard to be all that excited by the April 1964 The Andy Griffith Show: The Rumor because we’ve been there and done that. There are countless episodes where Barney overreacts to seeing Barney with a girlfriend and then jumps to the conclusion that they are …

The September 15th edition of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show pretty much bored me. I just am not a fan of hers and while she was a bit more relatable with her audience, she isn’t someone I enjoy watching.
One segment of the show involved designer Tory Burch, which …

From 1995, A Mind to Murder is another P.D. James novel put onto film which stars Roy Marsden. Marsden has made a career out of portraying Commander Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard. It’s unusual to see someone play the same role so many times, but I …

Fireball XL5: Space City Special is a wonderful, terrific, and very special episode of this puppet TV series. I believe it was probably the season ender, or shown at a break because it aired in June and then there is a break until the next episode aired in …

This episode was the 79th episode of the 90s American television series “The X-Files” and the sixth episode of the X-Files in season 4. It was one of my favorite episodes of the X-Files as I found it not to be scary but creepy and gruesome in a sense. …

I am a big fan of Baldwin Hills, I have watched all of season one and it was great, currently they are on season two.
I literally love the show, it’s too bad that they are on the last episode, the season finale is coming up and it should be …

Stargate SG-1: The Gamekeeper continues the tradition of great SG-1 episodes. This one stars the remarkable Dwight Schultz. He’s an incredible actor, and he really does a great job as the Gamekeeper. He’s worth watching all by himself.
The main plot in Stargate SG-1: The Gamekeeper is …

With all the hype surrounding the premiere of the television series Outlander, I honestly thought that it would have been something that I might enjoy. This was especially after I discovered that it would be set between post World War II and that the plot would contain elements of time …

I normally don’t mind my daughter watching shows on Nickelodean. But, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of the show Back at the Barnyard; a feeling that hasn’t changed from day one.
Fortunately for me, my daughter is already tired of the show because it means I …

I’m not exactly sure what I was doing during the second season of Psych. But, apparently there were quite a few episodes that season that I missed because I was seeing them for the first time during a marathon on Saturday.
One of them, Gus’ Dad May have Killed and …

I think Family Guy is a great show because it offers mindless animated comedy on the surface, and thoughtful cultural satire upon deeper inspection. I can enjoy an episode of Family Guy whether I’m in the mood for witty, clever commentary or simply wicked slapstick humor.
My …

M*A*S*H: Change of Command marks the arrival of Colonel Sherman Potter to the 4077th.

The Twilight Zone: The Incredible World of Horace Ford isn’t a show I particularly look for, but it’s okay. The late Pat Hingle stars as the title character of Horace Ford. He’s 38 years old, and he just wants to live a happy life. However, he’s …

I will admit, Friday night’s episode of Monk was better than expected.
When I saw he was going camping, I immediately thought to myself “didn’t we do an episode like that before?” But, this time around, it was him helping Randy with a group of kids in the woods in …

At first four hours on The Battle of Britain felt a bit excessive. They had managed to fit the all of it into part of one paragraph in my high school history book, but then perhaps it’s just that as Americans we don’t much like being reminded how long …

Back when I was still attending sixth form college, my aunt happened to switch to a different cable television service provider which had the channel “TV Guide” which was actually a channel which gave the schedules for each channel as well as it had shows and comments on celebrity …

Shark stars James Woods.
Any show with James Woods is okay with me. I truly feel that he is the country’s finest actor and can carry a show by himself. In this case he does, as the show is not special in any way. The writers need …
