Who would have thought that a show about a family of undertakers would be so wildly successful. Six Feet Under is truly the one series on HBO that I have been thrilled about renting on Netflix. I am currently watching Season Five, and have come to …

As respects the season ending episode of The Good Wife called Running, I’m going to start before I watch the show and guess that the promo they’ve been showing all over television ad nauseam of a crucial decision making moment for Alicia actually takes place in the last seconds …

Well now, the episode of House entitled “Lucky 13″ certainly was intended to bring in ratings. After all, who can object to an episode that features Thirteen and one of her female lovers. I have to say it got my attention.
The case itself was actually quite dull. Another patient, …

Cougar Town is a new show on ABC. When I first heard about this show I was iffy about it, even though the main character is Courtney Cox. I thought it was an interesting concept, different, but I didn’t tune in until a friend pointed out how great it …

The main focus of M*A*S*H: Preventative Medicine is Colonel Lacy, portrayed by James Wainwright. It’s probably easy to convey Lacy’s attitude by pointing out his answer to a question asked of him by Major Margaret Houlihan. Hearing about Lacy’s plan to try and take a hill in …

“The Boneyard” is a very good episode of NCIS. Fornell is back which is always fun for viewers as we get to see the Fornell/Gibbs dynamic that is always entertaining to watch.
Seems the FBI, namely Fornell, has been trying to take down a mobster by the name of …

Oh wow, this was an amazing episode! L.D.S.K. stands for Long Distance Serial Killers. The scary thing is they said they never catch these guys, because they don’t have contact with their victims! It turns out that the unsub was an Emergency Room doctor, he injured the people so …

I absolutely love cooking shows. I watched this one because the chef (whose name escapes me) was making peppered pork, a special kind of garlic mashed potatoes, and a puttanesca. I watched this woman chop parsley, onions, and make a dressing for a new kind of …

This new sitcom, starring and written by central star Miranda Hart, promises itself as something of a throwback to the classic 70s sitcom, the type where crude but allowable jokes were plenty and cardboard cutout characters were commonplace.
While this show is only starting out, things don’t look good. …

The Twilight Zone: Stopover in a Quiet Town is one of the better shows from this final season of this classic science fiction show from the mind of Rod Serling. It has a decent plot with an appropriate amount of suspense. You aren’t quite sure where the …

I was able to watch a re-run of the show in the Disney Channel last week. It still made me laugh my heart out. But nothing compares to the first time that you’ve seen Mr. Bean do his crazy antics. I …

Most of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Pai Gow doesn’t impress me as much as most other episodes from the drama do. The series revolves around the reunited father and son, Kwai Chang Caine and Peter Caine, as played by David Carradine and Chris Potter, respectively.
The essence of …

From May 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Pandora’s Box was the 35th show of the fifth season for this Richard Boone western series. This outing had some politics to it and those aren’t usually shows I enjoy that much. Basically, Paladin (Boone) is asked to bring …

There’s a general rule of thumb when it comes to “The Real Ghostbusters”, if the episode is written by J. Michael Stracynski, it will be good. After the awesomeness that was “Mrs. Rogers’ Neighborhood”, this episode had a high bar to jump, and the fact that it centered …

The Doctor and Martha arrive in the TARDIS in New York circa November 1930. Considering the Doctor’s been steadfast about taking Martha home, I’m not sure why they came here. One could argue that the TARDIS just took them there as they seem to have no knowledge …

Normally I am not a fan of the ABC Family, “Secret Life of the American Teenager” series. However, the season three episode, “Young at Heart” did hold some factors that I found myself shockingly finding appealing. However, don’t get me wrong, the episode was still mostly filled with unflattering …

I love watching Way Too Early. It’s a TV show that comes on on MSNBC. It comes on at 5:30 am. I very rarely am able to catch it when it initially comes on due to the fact that it comes onb so early. I …

Checkmate: Terror in the East is the fourteenth episode of this series about a private detective agency. The story opens in the Middle East, and I was leery from the get go. I normally don’t like Asian focused plots. Ultimately, Chinatown is involved.
Early on, though, I …

It’s Roger Wilson’s turn to take the point in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Daniel’s Song. Wilson plays Daniel McFadden, the 4th of the 7 sibling brothers. He’s always singing and dancing when not working the ranch, and when he’s not doing that, he’s playing the guitar.

The first time I saw local talk show Susanwas a few years ago when it was advertising on TvJ. I can’t remember exatly what that episode was about either, but I know that it was not the theme of the episode that interested me as much as the thought …

As I mentioned in an earlier review, I recently started re-watching the first season of the show Bones; at least the episodes I haven’t seen before.
One of the episodes was The Man in the SUV, which turned out to be a pretty decent one.
This is one of the first …

This show apparently follows singer Monica in her quest for completing a new single. I heard this was going to be a reality show series about Monica. But in fact, this is really a show Bryan Michael Cox put together to emphasize the necessities of putting together …

My mother and I sit through re-runs of Medium. When I first saw Medium, I was not too interested since I really have no interest in the paranormal. However, when I inadvertently sat in one of its episodes, I thought it was more plausible than Ghost Whisperer. Medium follows …

I wasn’t really looking forward to seeing the Slitheen again as their first appearance didn’t really blow me away. Surprisingly enough, this episode was much improved. We learn that one of the Slitheen from “Aliens of London” and “World War Three” managed to teleport to safety at …

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 62 has Ed, AlIzumi, Mustang, Hawkeye, Ling/Greed, Lan Fan and Hoehenheim, along with the entire Amestrian military giving it everything they’ve got in order to defeat Father who is trying to make more Philosopher’s Stones.

What are the odds? Mr. Spock would say they were astronomical, I’m sure, but this isn’t Star Trek, so I suppose the odds don’t matter. In Stargate: Infinity: Mentor, Major Gus Bonner and his team go to a world where they run into Bonner’s mentor, Harley Sheppard, …

I adore Family Guy. Who doesn’t ? The writers get my sense of humor. It’s something I can actually laugh at and I’m a hard person to make laugh. I love how Peter will say something so random and it’s just funny. I like the story line with the …

Every year, I keep promising myself that I will not get sucked back into watching another season of “American Idol.” I just get way too caught up in the weekly results aspect of it. I keep telling myself that I will not ride that emotional rollercoaster again.
Then, of …

From season one, The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air is a decent show, but perhaps it is the ironic and tragic fate of the story’s characters that puts me off. It’s not really one that has a happy ending, and I’m not into melancholy at …

Keeping in mind that I’ve been given several of these DVDs about the adventures and cases of Commander Adam Dalgliesh of New Scotland Yard, I’m watching them in no logical sense of order. It’s like going back and forth in time. As a result, the first thing …

Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Predator/Red Sky at Night was the fourth show in this new series that airs on Syfy. Now this show is a little like the History Channel’s “Chasing Mummies” in that it’s questionable just how accurate of a show it is.
When I watched the …

I never would have thought it in a thousand years, but I really enjoying this new cooking show that is part of the new Hallmark Channel Home block of daytime programming. It’s called Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn and its September 15, 2010 episode was its …
