Harper’s Island Season Finale
Harper’s Island season finale was very good. It made me jump in a lot of scenes, fearing for the different safety of the victims and the remaining ones in the episode. It was a really close call for Abby and Jimmy and besides them, Shea and Madison survive as well.
Wakefield …
A-Team TV Episode: Beneath the Surface
The other night, before bed, I ended up coming across an A-Team re-run that I didn’t intend on watching at first but ended up being somewhat interesting; Beneath the Surface.
What got my attention on this one was the stupid move Face makes at the beginning; attending his orphanages’ reunion …

I knew there was a spin-off from the old show Raven called Cory in the House but I never got a chance to actually watch it until yesterday; when my daughter had it on TV and I just happened to be in the room.

Survivor Season 20 Episode 1 Surviving Survivor

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Ledge TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Ledge was a bit different than what we normally see from this particular western series. Richard Boone stars as the man in black, Paladin, a gunfighter for hire who also has a sophisticated side. We didn’t see any of that in …
Mork & Mindy: Mork Runs Down
I remember seeing the episode of Mork & Mindy “Mork Runs Down” when I was a kid (and before this was a show in re-runs) but didn’t remember a whole lot about the episode until seeing it again today.
While not a great episode, it still was good enough to …
Have Gun —“ Will Travel: The Hunt TV Show
This episode of Have Gun —“ Will Travel, the 20th of its fifth season on the air, is done almost as a comedy, though it has several very un-funny moments, one of which is an animal attack. Those are never my favorite scenes and I was glad this …
Jamaica Cable Vision Cable Company

Nip/Tuck
I just love watching Nip/Tuck. I have been a loyal follower of Seasons 1 to 4 and I can just give a two thumbs up for each and every episode. From the lead actors and the supporting characters to the star-studded guests, I can truly say that the show …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Big House TV Show
From May 1963, The Andy Griffith Show: The Big House is the final episode of the third season, and it’s a pretty good one. It focuses on Andy, Barney, and Gomer, and that means one thing: good comedy.
The basic story has a couple of robbers being captured by …

That Girl: 7 1/4 - Part 1
Considering prior storylines, this third season entry for ABC’s That Girl opens a little oddly for me. The title is 7 1/4, which is also odd, so I suppose it all makes sense in some strange way. As the story begins, Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) is about …
Star Trek: Enterprise - Fight or Flight
“Fight or Flight” is the third episode in the first season of Star Trek: Enterprise, with the first two episodes consisting of the two hour pilot. I feel it was quite appropriate of the writers to do a character story this early in the series because it helps to …

Seven days Season 2 Episode 10
When I watch these old shows I really like to see some actors that I have seen somewhere else, in past or in present. In this episode Roxann Dawson appears, she had roles n different shows back in 90’s but I think that most of us remembers her as …
Sea Hunt: The Invader TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Invader aired in July 1960 as the 30th outing of the underwater adventure series’ third season on the air. The show had a decent amount of under the water activity but it wasn’t as fun as others have been for a couple of reasons.
First of …

Simpsons TV Episode: Weekend at Burnsie’s
Well, the Simpsons repeat that was on last night wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t what I was expecting it to be.

The Andy Griffith Show: Andy the Marriage Counselor TV Show
From its first season on the air, The Andy Griffith Show: Andy the Marriage Counselor was a solid outing, more for its side gag than for the actual plot in my opinion.
When the show starts, we see Deputy Barney Fife reading “The Art of Judo” after which he goes …
Finding Judas
Every time I watch House, there’s a twist or turn that makes me want to tune in the next week.
Last night’s episode “Finding Judas” is the perfect example of that. House’s colleagues are being blackmailed into testifying against him and you can just feel the tension.
I also got a …

M*A*S*H: The Price
M*A*S*H: The Price has a cute first few seconds with Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) riding back into camp on his horse, Sophie, and singing a cowboy song. As a lover of the western and cowboy world, I found the entire thing to be really adorable.
A big part …
The Virginian: A Distant Fury

Burn Notice: Breaking and Entering
Burn Notice: Breaking and Entering is the first episode of the second season, and it’s the conclusion of a sort of cliffhanger, meaning there’s a lot of history that a new viewer such as myself needs to pick up on in terms of knowing the story.
One of the things …
M*A*S*H: Stars and Stripes
There are two main plots in M*A*S*H: Stars and Stripes from the eighth season of the comedy program. The first surrounds a patient who was the recipient of a unique operating technique while being treated at the 4077th. The two surgeons involved were B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) …

Modern Family TV Show
I am a firm believer that television has gone down in quality, especially where comedy is concerned. More often than not, ratings show that the most popular shows in America are the reality shows that ridicule one celebrity or another and sitcoms are nothing more than a combination of …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 14: Doomsday
So ends the second season and Billie Piper’s run as Rose Tyler. With an ominous prediction from Satan, I was expecting Rose to die, and the episode really plays up the possibility, with Rose’s voice over confirming it.
“Shockingly”, it turns out that the Beast was lying, or at …
America’s got talent
America’s got talent is a great TV show and I love that the show is very entertaining but one of the best things about this show would have to be the judges. I like the attitude of Howie Mandel because he has a friendly but sarcastic attitude at times …
A Man Called Hawk: Choice of Chance
The first thing I noticed about A Man Called Hawk: Choice of Chance was the opening scene with a church choir singing the song, “Elijah Rock.” I absolutely adore that song. We used to sing in choir way back in junior high school. I really haven’t …
The Twilight Zone: Night Call TV Show
From February 1964, veteran actress Gladys Cooper portrays an elderly and lonely woman, Elva Keene, in The Twilight Zone: Night Call. The half hour is mostly Cooper’s. In this show, she’s a little crotchety, a characteristic derived from decades of living alone and having never married. …
How I Met Your Mother - Sorry, Bro
“Sorry, Bro” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. You know a show has hit its stride when it can be funny even in an episode consisting of the main characters sit around a table, drink beer, and tell …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - The Bad Old Days (Episode)
“The Bad Old Days” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This isn’t an episode that’s high up on my list of favorites from the first season or any of the five seasons. It’s not unwatchable, but it’s not one that I enjoyed excessively on my first …
