Katie Holmes
When I was a teenager Dawson’s Creek was a phenomenon and Katie Holmes was getting a lot of attention.
One the show I very much liked her. She was sweet but not sweet enough to be a walkover. In fact she was a character most girls related to …
Psych TV Episode: Sixty Five Million Years Off
Synopsis: Shawn and Gus investigate the murder of a paleontologist who appears to have been killed by a dinosaur bite.
What I liked about this episode: This is a classic episode that shows what made this series great and will make you miss the good old days if you see …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 12 - The Rescue
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 12 - The Rescue is what it says, the rescue of Glenn Matthews (Andrew Stevens) and Hilary Adams (Sela Ward) whose plane had gone down, stranding them on a beach somewhere where, yes, the ‘nasty’ happens. Glenn has no backbone, that’s for sure. …
Case Closed
Looking for a great mystery show to keep you entertained. Look no further, Case Closed in my opinion is the best mystery show ever. Case Closed is an amimated Japanese mystery show (availible in english). Don’t click the back button just because it is animated. Case Closed follows the …
The Twilight Zone: A Quality of Mercy TV Show
For whatever reason, war stories in this science fiction series just don’t work for me. I enjoy war dramas as a rule, but the stories are too unpleasant for me, I think. The topic of discussion here is The Twilight Zone: A Quality of Mercy, a show …
Season 16, Episode 3 - Sleeping with the Enemy
In this episode of the Simpsons, Lisa experiences body issues when her classmates tease her for being chubby. When her father’s pep talk and a trip to the mall only make her more insecure, she becomes obsessed with becoming thin. Meanwhile, Bart calls for a party, because …
Peer Pressure (Starhunter Episode)
This is a particularly and unfortunately bad episode of the Starhunter television series. I love Starhunter, it is one of my favorite television programs ever produced, but unfortunately this is not one of the better episodes to come from the franchise. It at times verges on the …
Miss South Africa Annual National Beauty Pageant
There was a time when I simply couldn’t wait for the airing of Miss South Africa because I was beside myself with excitement but of late I really think this annual national beauty pageant has lost a little bit of its spunk somewhat.
While the overall general organization is still …
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man is a powerful episode of this series. It’s a strong show take takes place in a futuristic society where there is no deity and the definition of being useful is totally up to the totalitarian society. The use of this kind …
Here Come the Brides: Mr. & Mrs. J. Bolt
Here Come the Brides: Mr. & Mrs. J. Bolt opens humorously. The Bolt brothers are taking a break from their logging camp by spending time at their cabin, supposedly to relax. The problem is that Jason (Robert Brown) is the only one enjoying the scenery as he …
North Little Rock’s Old Mill
I love touring and taking pictures of old mills. I have been to almost every old mill left standing throughout Missouri and Arkansas throughout the years. I was fortunate to finally get to the Noth Little Rock Old Mill on one of our family siteseeing outings a while back. …
30 Rock Season One (TV series)
I am mad at myself for not watching this show on television sooner. On the off chance, I once caught an episode and was intrigued seeing Tracy Morgan’s antics. But once I rented this series on DVD from Netflix, my whole opinion opened up. Not …
The Virginian: Strangers at Sundown
The Virginian: Strangers at Sundown opens with senseless cruelty towards animals so I’m very leery of this episode from the start. Normally, I change the channel at this point, but I think it might have just been a passing plot device. Whatever the story involves, there’s a …
Futurama TV Episode: My Three Suns
Hmm—¦I was on a roll there and finding episodes I loved of the series Futurama. But, so far, there have been a couple episodes that just haven’t lived up to expectations. One of these was the one entitled “My Three Suns.”
The episode did start out OK. Fry wants to …
Fringe : Bound
It’s hard for me to decide if I like “Fringe” or not. On one hand I enjoy parts of the show. I’m a big science fiction fan and this reminds me more of the “X-files” than anything that has been on since. I’m certainly not the first person to compare …
House TV Episode: Unwritten
Well, I ended up liking Monday night’s episode of House, “Unwritten” a little more than I thought I would. But, I have to be honest, I’m still not as big of a fan of this series as I used to be.
The case itself wasn’t terrible. House is treating his …
Macross Plus Episode 2 (Anime)
Macross Plus Episode 2 begins with Sharron Apple’s concert and Isamu attends. His rivalry with Guld Goa Bowman increases as Guld grows closer to Myung Fang Lone.
This was an interesting episode. I enjoyed watching it and it was very entertaining, the fight scenes were very well done …
Fringe Season 4 Episode 2 TV show
After Peter was wiped out of existence at the end of the last season the show has been changed completely. It seems that everything else has been wiped from the existence as well: the high stakes and the action scenes, the mystery and the adventure, any kind of meaningful …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 4: Planet of the Ood
The Doctor and Donna arrive on an alien planet in the 42nd Century. I think this is the first time that the relaunch has ever truly gone off world before. We’ve been to New Earth and to various spacecraft, but never to a bona fide alien world …
Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection
First of all, owning the Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a feel good, science fiction, and sentimental thing for me, so watching these shows again was really wonderful.
The five-disk set have a collector’s box that they fit …
Wanted: Dead or Alive: The Bounty TV Show
Wanted: Dead or Alive: The Bounty, the third episode to air of this western series which starred Steve McQueen, aired in September 1958. Frankly, I had a really tough time getting into this outing. It began strangely in my opinion, and as it progressed, my attention wasn’t …
The Twilight Zone: The New Exhibit TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The New Exhibit is a creepy show from 1963. It’s about a rather docile man who works for a wax museum. He becomes anxious when the museum closes and his most prized wax figures are in danger of being destroyed. Ultimately, the owner …
Wagon Train: The Geneva Balfour Story
The Geneva Balfour Story of Wagon Train had a very nice cast, including Peter Brown, Sherry Jackson, and Robert Lansing. It’s one of the more intense stories of the seventh season. The weather is scorching, and the supplies for crossing the terrain are low in numbers. …
Due South: Mountie Sings the Blues
This show had the potential to lead to a really funny and good subplot, and while it’s great here, they really don’t do anything with it. In Due South: Mountie Sings the Blues, Constable Turnbull is in deep like with Francesca and acts on it. It’s very …
That 70s Show TV Episode: That 70s Musical
Wow, I was watching television Friday night and came across an episode of That 70s Show I had heard about but had never seen before, “That 70s Musical.” I have seen quite a few episodes of this show but this one was absolutely fantastic.
Basically, you have Fez getting ready …
Laramie: The Runaway TV Show
Well the big news in The Runaway episode is that now Laramie has a school. As of season 1, it did not, and in season 2, it was the motivation behind Slim sending younger brother Andy (Robert Crawford Jr.) off to school in the east. Now there’s …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Cradle of the Deep TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Cradle of the Deep is the 25th episode from the first season of this Richard Basehart and David Hedison TV series. Guest star John Anderson played Dr. Janus, a scientist who wanted to gather precious elements from the ocean’s bottom to …
Night Gallery: Whisper TV Show
Dean Stockwell and Sally Field appear as a married couple in the Whisper edition of Night Gallery. This is very different type of show. It’s eerie because you don’t really know what’s going on. Stockwell, as Charlie, talks right to the camera several times. In a …
M*A*S*H: Give and Take
M*A*S*H: Give and Take has some intriguing story elements to it that hold the viewer interest and make this eleventh season episode worth watching. This is actually the second to the last episode, and I don’t think it’s an accident that they aired this show when they did.
The …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Danny Thomas TV Show
Danny Thomas was the Man of the Hour for an edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, taped in Las Vegas. The only one on the dais that I knew of with a true connection to Thomas was Milton Berle. It’s not that he doesn’t know the …
Iron Chef
I had heard about the television show Iron Chef. But, until last night, I hadn’t taken the time to watch it. While I found it somewhat interesting, I’m not sure if it’s a show I would watch on a regular basis.
Basically, the premise behind Iron Chef is you have …
Wife Swap
When I think of Wife Swap, the word that immediately comes into my head is WOW. I’m amazed at the way some people are living their life and through Wife Swap I have been able to see that.
Wife Swap is about two families who live in different ways …
South Park TV Episode: The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs
It has been ages since I’ve watched the show South Park. But, I found myself watching a couple episodes last night. The first one was The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs.
This was actually a pretty funny episode; though a bit grosser than I remember the show being. Basically, the boys …
Stargate SG-1: Show and Tell
One of my very small pet peeves about Stargate SG-1 is that oftentimes in the early years, if there was a child’s story, it was always Richard Dean Anderson’s character who had the poignant connection with the child. The only exception was Cassandra, the alien child Sam had …
On Demand Television
I opted to purchase On Demand Television in my home. As a result, I have wound up getting four hundred some odd television channels that I thought I would never utilize. I suppose I underestimated the the addictive nature of being spoiled enough to have such a …
The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 1 TV Show
Midway through its first season, The Fall Guy presented a two part episode which turned out to be the best of the season to that point. License to Kill: Part 1 was the most intriguing episode, the first one that all these years later, I really wanted to …
The Twilight Zone: The 7th Is Made up of Phantoms TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The 7th Is Made up of Phantoms is a little on the strange show, but since this entire series is about strange, I suppose that is okay. In short, what this episode revolves around are three National Guard soldiers, going about their business while on …
Doogie Howser M.D.
I think that Doogie Howser M.D. is one of the coolest old TV shows I saw growing up as a kid. This show was alway really funny. I think it was really cool how Doogie Howser was so smart even though he was so young. I mean he used …
The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: Laurels Are Poison
The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries continue with a murder mystery called Laurels Are Poison. The beautiful and alluring Diana Rigg stars as Adela Bradley, and believe me, there is nothing conventional about her. Adela is as out there as a woman could be in the early 1900’s and …
The King of Queens
The King Of Queens stars Kevin James, Leah Remini, and Jerry Stiller. This is one of my favorite comedy shows and I eagerly look forward to each episode.
The opening comical skits are always funny and set the tone for the rest of the show. The …
The Prisoner: Harmony (2009) TV Show
The Prisoner: Harmony is the second of six episodes of this updated science fiction show. The one thing it definitely retains when compared to the sixties original is the strangeness of it all. The Village is still there, but it’s less bright and vibrant than the old …
Columbo: Requiem for a Falling Star TV Show
Requiem for a Falling Star from the second season of Columbo is one of those shows where Columbo acts all befuddled at meeting a celebrity. It’s an act Peter Falk has down pat in this character of the police lieutenant. He disarms the star by practically falling …
The Andy Griffith Show: Convicts-at-Large TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Convicts-at-Large has some funny moments to it, even though it’s not high up on my personal list of favorite episodes. It’s a third-year show that focuses on the bad luck of Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) and Floyd the barber (Howard McNear) end up …
Bones: The Baby in the Bough
I’ve been working half days all week and got a chance to watch an afternoon re-run of the show “Bones” yesterday; The Baby in the Bough. I missed the first few minutes but will admit it was a pretty good episode.
Basically, Booth and Bones are called in to investigate the …

Amelia Bassett (Pauline Collins) and a boy Cyril Mulliner (John Alderton) meet at a murder mystery play and fall in love. Their meeting and common interest in murder thrillers cause them to fall in love despite his unkind comment about her mother, Lady Basset (played by Joan Sanderson), …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Gold and Brimstone TV Show
The final episode of Have Gun - Will Travel’s second season was called Gold and Brimstone. Written by Bruce Geller, it was supposed to have a bit of a devilish plot in that it centers on a couple of prospectors, an old man and his adult son, who …
Kathy Griffin my life on the d list
I enjoy watching this show because it makes me laugh. It’s interesting and entertaining. It’s about a comedian named Kathy Griffin. I like the show because she speaks her mind and tells the truth. I also find her to be funny and enjoy watching the show because her and …
Star Trek: The Counter-Clock Incident TV Show
The second season of the animated Star Trek series was very short and lasted but a few episodes. Star Trek: The Counter-Clock Incident was the last one, airing on October 12,1974. It was actually a very interesting plot where the Enterprise ends up in an alternate dimension …
Private Eye: Nobody Dies in Chinatown
It seems every show has to do at least one story in their Mexican suburb and another in their Chinatown segment, and they are always about corruption and murder. Private Eye didn’t even bother to separate these shows. It’s last episode was done in the barrio of …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Ties That Bind
“The Ties That Bind” is a pretty bland episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. The episode features Miracle Man, Big Barda and the Flash. Mister Miracle struck me as uninteresting, and Big Barda just seems to be a rip-off of Wonder Woman. Plus, the main villians …
