Adam 12 - Season 1 DVD set
The season 1 DVD set for the “Adam-12″ TV series is a disaster. Universal Studios did a lousy job, almost as if they wanted the series to fail on DVD. It’s a low quality, full of freezes set.
The two-disk set comes encased in a holder. The …
Max Headroom: The Blanks TV show
I was quite surprised, and pleased, to see that Lisa Niemi returned as reporter Janie Crane in Max Headroom: The Blanks. After having virtually no lines in the prior show called War, in The Blanks she actually does get some decent dialog. I had no clue she …
The Prisoner: Dance of the Dead
The most fascinating aspect to The Prisoner TV series for me has been the revolving door with the Number Two character. Number Two continues to change all the time, and I still don’t quite understand why that happens. Regardless, in The Prisoner: Dance of the Dead, Number …
Friends Season Two - The one with Phoebe’s Husband
The friends have always wondered about Phoebe, because she seems so mysterious. But what they didn’t realize is that she was married in another state to a gay ice dancer, and she didn’t even realize that she was still married to him. It is actually quite hilarious, because no …
Ghosthunters Television Series
Ever since I saw the first Ghosthunters episode advertising on the cable television channel, Syfy, I have been hooked to the show ever since. Somehow I think that it seems to be a little more realistic than other shows about the paranormal on television such as “Most Haunted”, “Paranormal …
Gilmore Girls tv show
This is was one of my favourite tv shows, it had 7 seasons and I was really disappointed when it actually ended last spring.
The show was about a woman Lorelai Gilmore who got pregnant when she was 16 and ran away from home because her mother was one of …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Bones of Contention

Mr. Monk and the three Julies
Normally, I enjoy episodes of Monk. The latest episode, Mr. Monk and the Three Julies was an OK one but not as enjoyable as others.

Happy Town on ABC
I am a total TV addict, so I was excited when I saw the previews for a new mystery/drama on ABC, ironically called “Happy Town.” The previews touted the show to be about a small Midwestern town with a deep, dark secret. I figured this kind of show would …
Dancing With the Stars (TV reality show)
Here is yet another reality show that I happen to watch when I have the time and/or opportunity. Dancing With the Stars is so corny. Yet you get drawn in when you realize that the most uncoordinated celebrities try out for the thing and are paired …
CSI Season 5 Episode 15- King Baby
I don’t know if I love this episode or just weirded out by it. One way or another, this was a great plot and a good example of great writing. I really loved it because it was so unusual, both the case and the circumstances. And maybe it was …

Orchestra United: Episode 4 TV Show
This is the big moment, the big show, for Orchestra United. It’s just the fourth episode, but apparently, that’s all there is. I’m just stunned that an entire year has gone by since 75 high schoolers were brought together to form the band. For that, we’ve …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Enter the Outsiders

Laramie: Wolf Cub TV Show
This show, Wolf Cub from Laramie’s third season, features Robert Blake as the title character, who in the opening teaser is saved from being hunted by Earl Droody. Droody is played by the artful Arthur Hunnicutt. This character actor was always entertaining.

Dancing with the Stars - Final Performance Show - 5/24/2010
My problem in the last few years with Dancing with the Stars is that the judges have favorites and they push for them. It’s a bit of selective visuals.
Here’s my current case in point. The last free dance performance of the night was Derek Hough and celebrity …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Silent Saboteurs TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Silent Saboteurs, the tenth show of year two of this Richard Basehart and David Hedison program, has a guest cast that includes Star Trek’s George Takei, who plays Cheng. Also in the program is Pilar Seurat. I’m not familiar …
The X-Files Lazarus Episode

Birds of Prey episode 8: Lady Shiva
This episode puts focus on Barbara as an old enemy from her past life as Batgirl seemingly returns from the grave. Even if it was just a flashback to showcase the backstory, it was still nice to see Barbara as Batgirl again.
Said enemy is Lady Shiva, …
The Biggest Loser
I love The Biggest Loser. My mom and I watch it every Tuesday together. I find it motivational. It does get frustrating, however, if you’re trying to lose weight with the show because they lose so much because all they do is exercise every day. I have learned, however, …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Killer TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Killer is not my kind of show with the animal hunting theme. It is not entertainment to me to see this stuff, which is why I don’t watch the cable channels with a focus on animals. I’m not interested in seeing …
Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk is Underwater
One of our satellite channels had a Monk marathon this past weekend and, even though I had seen every episode before, there were some that I enjoyed enough to want to watch again.

Thus concludes David Tennant’s run as the Doctor as he faces off against both the Master and the Time Lords, who seek to bring about an end to creation in order to save their own hides.

Law & Order SVU: Hardwired
I got to watch bits and pieces of last night’s Law & Order SVU episode Hardwired. For the most part, it was OK. But, it really wasn’t anything that stood out when compared to the other episodes I’ve seen of the show.
Basically, it had the same plot as others, …
The Professionals Television programme
The Professionals was (and still is) the coolest show in history. Curly hair, Ford Capris and flared trousers all make this the best cop show on either side of the Atlantic.
I loved this show because it had terrific action scenes in it. In fact, there was only …
Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town
The story of how Santa became the jolly figure we know today is told in the classic animated tale, Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town. This is another of my all-time holiday favorites. I watch it at least twice every season, if not more. The story …

Gilligan’s Island - High Man on the Totem Pole TV Show
This episode has quite a few ups and downs. Gilligan goes around all depressed through most of the episode. Actually its agonizing to watch him obsess what he thinks is his heritage, related to head hunters. And he deduces this solely on his resemblance to the likeness of the …
The Drew Carey Show TV show
The Drew Carey show is a situational half hour comedy series. I watched this show on and off for a couple of years and I neevr really got why it was so popular.
