“Uhny Uftz” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. The title of the episode is strange, but it’s fitting because the episode itself is kind of strange, at least, most of it is! Episodes pertaining to UFOs weren’t uncommon on 1950s and 1960s sitcoms due to the …

Highway Patrol: Cargo Hijack, a half hour police drama from the early years of television, was a show from its fourth and final season on the air, the 26th to be exact.
This episode is a story about a robbery team that doesn’t do their homework. Sheila Nolan (Cathy …

The opening of this third episode is a hoot. Pratt is on a book tour in the south, a bad mistake since his dime novels are all about Yankees. Just as some unhappy southerners are about to do harm to him and in fact have him hanging …

The Ghostbusters find themselves dealing with more hauntings than they know what to do with. Despite running themselves ragged all over town, the jobs keep piling up and the phone won’t stop ringing.
The mention of Gozer was a nice touch. Unlike with Cthulu, where they …

At some point, I knew Willow’s relationship with Oz was going to go south. After all, he’s a werewolf and, three nights out of the month, he has no control over his actions.
Of course, up until the time I saw the episode “Wild at Heart” I figured their impending …

The Saigon Suicide Squad episode is a bit different from most other Upright Citizens Brigade episodes. It is a pretty contained piece of work, with almost all of the action happening only on a single stage (instead of going around from location to location like most UCB episodes). …

One word for Columbo: Publish or Perish: yuck. I have never liked this episode of the series. Honestly, I don’t dislike Jack Cassidy, but he annoys me as a murderous villain. He did multiple episodes of Columbo over the years, and I don’t think I liked …

Louis Theroux travels to Nevada and enjoys a stay at The Wild Horse Ranch, a legal brothel. As he spends several weeks interviewing those who work and frequent the establishment, he also chips in and manages the phones, working alongside his subjects.
While his more recent efforts have been …

In a episode focused on an obscure person, is it not more essential for one to know themselves before they know about others? In the case of Rei Ayanami, there may be no answers in sight or their may have never been answers to her being in this shattered …

Episode 7, “Duel of the Droids”, picks up where “Downfall of a Droid” left off with the search for the missing R2-D2 whom is now being held captive at General Grevious’ secret listening post on a planet that resembles Bespin from “Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes …

I truly believe that Stargate Universe is one of the most boring shows on television. I don’t like it and I think it’s a horrible spin off that is shameful since it comes from a beautifully done show like Stargate SG-1. I had, however, had a lot …

Wheel of Fortune has been a staple of American culture for many years now. Everyone recognizes the big spinning wheel and Vanna White. I remember as a child trying to guess the phrase and pretending I had one and got to pick the prize package. Of …

Waxer Thompson, the big, bad drug running kids is back from the pilot of 21 Jump Street. He is being transferred from juvenile to maximum security prison after killing another inmate over territory when the bus is in a wreck. One officer is knocked out and another …

Recess was a pretty good Disney cartoon that was really funny. The thing I really liked about this show, is that the characters were people instead of animals, which Disney is known for. I think that this show is very good and really used to like the plot. The …

The United States version of Undercover Boss recently aired an episode that focused on NASCAR. As a NASCAR fan, I was curious how this would work, mainly because NASCAR is more of a governing body than an employer; at least in the sense of how they portrayed it …

Imagine if you found out your better half was dying of a terminal illness. A revelation like that is bound to do all manner of things to your mind, but you probably wouldn’t react like Jill Tyrell, the monstrous but somehow lovable lead of this terrific comedy. After finding …

Jeremiah: Journeys End in Lovers Meeting was a little different in theme, and I rather enjoyed it because it dealt with belief. Belief isn’t tangible; it’s deep inside, part of the heart and soul. If you believe, you understand, and those who don’t believe always seek proof.
Kurdy …

Season nine of Stargate SG-1 comes to a dramatic close with an episode entitled Camelot. Naturally, it’s a cliffhanger with the conclusion being the opener of the tenth season.
The worst thing about the episode is Claudia Black’s return as Vala, standing very pregnant as she watches destruction unfold. …

There’s a surprising event in this fifth installment of Devices and Desires. It’s not all that shocking, but at the same time, it turned the murder investigation upside down.
P.D. James has written numerous mysteries for his central character, Commander Adam Dalgliesh, to solve. Always well dressed and …

This is one of my most favourite episodes in the show. It is episodes such as these that make it absolutely fantastic and gets you addicted to it. I loved the plot, it is full of discoveries and twists and is completely unexpected. It was not much about the …

This particular episode of Adam-12 isn’t that high up on my list, though it does have some memorable moments.
A lot of folks remember this one for the face off that occurs between two supposedly passive guru types, one of whom is played by “Police Woman” star, Charles Dierkop. …

Star Trek: The Mark of Gideon is a show with another message and this time the topic is population control. We have Kirk beaming down to the planet Gideon and finding himself still aboard the Enterprise, only no one else is around; that is, until he finds …

I ended up finishing my Psych mini-marathon last night by watching the season 1 episode “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me; Oops, He’s Dead.” Yes, I know that’s a long title for an episode (something that is somewhat common with this series), but it turned …

If you haven’t been watching the FX drama/comedy series Archer, you are indeed missing something. In episode 7 of season two, entitled “Movie Star”, Lana has to pair with Hollywood actress Rona Thorne who is researching her character for a role in an upcoming movie entitled “Disavowed”. Personally, I …

The Jerry Springer show has run its course and needs to be taken off the air for good and the re-runs never need to be seen again. I can’t understand how this show was so popular for so long.
I can’t stand this show because the show is stupid and …

I really enjoy watching this tv show because they throw something unexpected at you at each episode. In this episode Hope’s deceased mother who was executed for being a serial killer of boyfriends reappears in video form. After her death her belongings were collected in boxes and …

This show is the great modeling reality tv show there is, Tyra Banks as the host only makes the show better as she is a retired professional model who was really great when she was still doing her profession. There are a lot of candidates here who are aspiring …

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 …

I’m not really crazy about The Twilight Zone: A Passage for Trumpet, although I do like the punch that it gets at the end. This half-hour episode revolves around a depressed trumpet player, Joey Crown, who is portrayed by Jack Klugman. It’s a solid performance. I …

Season eight of Stargate SG-1 continues its downward spiral with an episode called Threads. Now, it’s important to note that there are two versions of this episode. One is a special that aired in a ninety minute format, while the other is the edited down show that airs …

The second part of the finale for this season’s edition of Project Runway was both boring and exciting. It entertained and blahed. The reason? Well, in my opinion, I think it had too much time allotted to it. It was a full 2 hours and just …

It’s women’s poker night on Whoopi: Rita Plays Poker, starring Whoopi Goldberg as singer turned hotel owner, Mavis Rae. It’s a little different in having the ladies playing poker. In the beginning, though, one of the women, Diane (Leah Hocking), has to leave because she’s having contractions. …

When this show, The Twilight Zone: Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room, first comes on, my first instinct is to turn off the show, but somehow I always leave it on and then I get pulled into the substance of the story. It’s really weird, but I …

The first story of the second season of Highway Patrol was called The Search and aired in October 1956. It’s a pretty basic story, I’m afraid. It’s all about a murderer who is trying to avoid capture. He’s a charming sort and manages to get people …

Chasing Mummies: The Amazing Adventures of Zahi Hawass - Episode 1 gave viewers the introduction on what this documentary is all about. Zahi is undertaking a 20 year project to restore the Step Pyramid in Saqqara, Egypt. He’s allowed part of this to be turned into this …

I have watched pretty much every Simpsons Tree House of Horrors episode since the first one and have been very disappointed with some of the more recent episodes. My biggest complaint is they often use some sort of movie spoof of a film that isn’t even a horror movie …

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 …

I wasn’t a huge fan of the show Ghost Hunters Academy last year. But, because there wasn’t much else on TV last night, I did decide to sit down to watch the Season 2 premiere of it.
It still isn’t my favorite show. But, I did see enough changes in …

This is the newest TV series that has rocked the whole nation. It’s actually about several people who have super power abilities and how their destinies are tied together. When NBC started advertising their new series, my husband and I were so excited. We love the unexplained, and this …

From April 1963, The Andy Griffith Show: Dogs, Dogs, Dogs is one of my absolute favorite episodes from all the years of this highly successful TV series. There are some great lines and lots of dogs, and as an animal lover, I love a good dog show like …

I try to keep an open mind when it comes to the paranormal. I don’t necessarily believe in ghosts but I’m more than willing to allow people to try to prove their existence to me.
That being said, even though I’ve watched several episodes of Ghost Hunters and have seen …

War and Remembrance: A Living History aired a couple of weeks prior to the showing of War and Remembrance, the massive mini-series which continued the story of the Henry family from The Winds of War.
A Living History is narrated by Robert Mitchum which is interesting because I recall that …

The Office is one of the more hit or miss shows on television in my opinion. It’s not even just from episode to episode. There will be four or five jokes in a single scene and only one or two will be funny, but those jokes can make me …

The Andy Griffith Show: Up in Barney’s Room is a terrific edition from this masterful comedy series. It focuses on Deputy Barney Fife, as played by Don Knotts. Now there is room for the continuity of the show to be questioned.
One of the things that has been …

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 …

This Little Piggy is the sixth episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. The first 90% of the episode is really bad. Wonder Woman is turned into a pig and the Justice League has to find her before she is turned into bacon, literally.
It was nice …

The Little King - Christmas Night is a vintage cartoon presented by SoGlow. I actually watched several holiday comics from the golden age today, and this was probably not only the most simplistic of the bunch but my least favorite.
The story revolves around a king who seems a …
