I must admit that Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother isn’t one of my favorite episodes of the series. It begins with Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) having a lot of close calls. He survives them all, but realizes that it’s actually intentional. There’s …

Highway Patrol: Portrait of Death is the 7th episode of the fourth year, airing back in November 1958. Police dramas were different then. This show which has been considered a leader from early television is rather tame and has some real staging and directing problems. However, …

Star Trek: Wink of an Eye gives Kirk more kissing to do, and I rarely like those shows. That’s probably why this isn’t on my list of ‘must see’ Treks. It’s okay, and it has it moments, but in some ways, it’s just a retread of an …

Rachael Ray TV Talk Show is by far the best so far right now for me, besides Ellen. There is just too many good things about this talk show that I really like, and especially when it has something to do with cooking and interviewing celebrities.
Rachael Ray TV Talk …

“Ash Catches a Pokémon” is the third episode of the “Pokemon” television series and this episode is one that does a good job of showing off the dynamic that quickly begins to build between the Ash and Misty characters. This is the first episode where Ash and Misty actually …

If you like westerns, then you will probably like this TV show starring Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris plays Walker, a Teas ranger. This is essentially a cop shop, except made country by the fact that the main character is a ranger in Texas rather than a policeman. The show …

Lori Colson was defending Michael Shea, a man who was indisposed, he was shot in the chest and the police wants to get the bullet out of his chest. Meanwhile, Michael maintains his opposition to the proposal of the police. There was a robbery at a convenience store that …

A Man Called Hawk: Poison, which originally aired on television in March 1989, focused on the drug war. Unfortunately, what it shows is that we really haven’t come far at all. In fact, we’ve gone nowhere. That’s what the program is evidence of because we’re still …

I’ve been a fan of the sitcom Wings for years now, though I don’t think I ever watched the show when it was actually brand new. Instead I was one of the people who ended up watching it when it was shown on USA during its syndication years. Every …

Have Gun - Will Travel’s fifth season brought forth an entertaining outing that was called simply, The Kid. The setup is also simple enough. Paladin (Richard Boone) travels 1100 miles to meet with a man who wants to hire him for protection. The problem is that …

Since I’m not a fan of fighting as a sport, I wasn’t particularly taken with Have Gun - Will Travel: The Prize Fight Story from the first season of this western series. Series star Richard Boone had his Paladin character helping out an old friend, first by watching …

Monster Episode 6 begins with Dr. Tenma going to a local newspaper reporter, hoping to find out where Anna Liebert is and searching for clues while Nina keeps receiving messages from a mysterious stranger and sees a man whose face is familiar to her.
This episode was great; it moved …

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 …

A UFO convention? A transvestite blogger somehow linked to the three-dot symbol? Are you kidding me? I’m beginning to wonder if the writers of this show were severely desperate for ideas here. Alan Park, our transvestite blogger, is the worst part of the entire episode. I don’t know about …

Jack is ready to speak at a ceremony where Sam is promoted from Captain to Major when the Asgard beam him out of Cheyenne Mountain. He ends up on Thor’s ship. Thor tells him that the system lords are ready to attack Earth because of SG1’s success …

Towards the end of its first season, Sea Hunt aired an episode called The Shipwreck. Among its guest stars was Leonard Nimoy. Nimoy actually did several episodes of this underwater TV show. I guess he had that outdoors look they liked.
Sea Hunt stars Lloyd Bridges, and …

Growing up, Felix the Cat was among my favorite cartoons to watch. I thought that feline was so funny. Recently, I’ve been able to go back and watch a few of the original, or vintage animated shorts. These aren’t really the ones I saw growing up, …

For me, The 64th Annual Tony Awards were not as wonderful as some reviewers I’ve read have made them out to be. I wasn’t enamored by Sean Hayes as they were. Perhaps it’s my tradition. It’s nothing against Hayes, but I wasn’t a fan of Will …

M*A*S*H: Our Finest Hour is a retrospective of the comedy show’s first seven seasons. While there is some new footage, several interview clips from season four’s The Interview are re-used. Clete Roberts, who also conducted the original interviews, returns here with additional scenes.
As in season four’s show, …

Royal Pains, on USA network, is the surprisingly entertaining and heartwarming story of a young doctor who - due to a political mistake - was fired from his job at a top hospital. He finds himself in the Hamptons where he sort of falls into the job of …

This was the 39th and last episode of Highway Patrol’s third TV season, and it opened with a nice, long car chase with an officer trying to chase down an injured felon named Ellis Colton, played by Troy Melton. Eventually, Colton dumped the vehicle and sought shelter at …

From February 1989, A Man Called Hawk: The Divided Child isn’t a show that I enjoyed very much. In fact, I had a difficult time keeping focused on it during the first half. There was a lot of action and shoot ‘em up, and it just didn’t …

Are We There Yet is a new television show on tbs that I couldn’t wait to see. They kept playing the preview for it and the reason why I had interest in it because the producer of the show is Ice Cube who is rapper and a actor that …

Well, it took us a long while to watch the season 6 finale of House. But, I can tell you, after watching it finally last night, I honestly am kind of glad I missed it the first time.
This show gets worse and worse every season. The cases are taking …

Any fan of the original Shining movie will know Stephen King wasn’t best pleased with Kubrick’s adaptation, and in this mini-series, King has the chance to rectify those issues and bring in ignored elements of the book.
The story is the same, the Torrence family spend the winter in …

I like watching comedy TV shows but they have to be interesting as well. I don’t like vulgar comedy or that which is developed from some one’s mistakes and mishaps. A comedy show can also be intelligent.
There have been many such comedy series - one of …

Stargate SG-1: Sacrifices features the return of Jolene Blalock as Ishta, but the fun story is Teal’c’s reaction to his son’s engagement. He’s not quite ready to let go apparently. Neil Denis returns as the son. He’s played the role from the beginning, so we’ve literally watched …

Notorious is an hour long program that airs each and every week on The Biography Channel. I try to watch Notorious, although I can not say that I am able to catch this program every time it airs. I like Notorious because I learn about people that I had …

Calling all smart people with a sense of humor. Buy all three seasons of this show and let the laughter begin.
This show should not be watched lightly. I’m pretty sure it’s too quick and witty for the general public (probably why it’s off the air), but if …

Now this has got to be the best ever television comedy series ever made, not just coming out of the United Kingdom, but ever!
I simply love the “Nick” character and reckon the entire sitcom would be a whole lot less appealing without Nick. While all the other characters are …

One of my current favorite television show is Blue Bloods, a police procedural drama that is set in New York. The story revolves around the Reagan family who are all in the business of the law —“ the men are police officers while the only daughter is a prosecutor. …

Grey’s Anatmony with Ellen Pompeo is a must watch show. I have to be in front of my television every Thursday night at exactly 8p.m. for Grey’s Anatomy. I must admit that I am addicted to watching the staff at Seattle Grace go through their drama in the operating …

A holiday show, Due South: Good for the Soul is pretty good. It has humor, drama, and poignancy. While shopping in the mall for Christmas presents, Constable Benton Fraser arrests a mob boss for slapping a bus boy in one of the mall restaurants. He really …

Stargate Atlantis: Broken Ties is the 3rd episode from the fifth and final season of this science fiction series, which I freely admit I really don’t like. This episode in particular I found to be very boring. It focuses somewhat on this Ronon character. He reminds …

GSN Game Show Network is responsible for bringing this show into your homes. This show takes two teams of three people competing against each other for the prize money in the final round. There are usually three rounds of competition and then the final round as with …

The premise behind Hawaii Five-O: …And They Painted Daisies on His Coffin is that while off-duty, Danny Williams (James McArthur) chases a suspect and ends up shooting him. However, the gun he claims the man has isn’t there, so Williams is accused of a killing him. Thus, …

I only started watching project runway last season and I loved every minute of it. I find it hard to imagine that they will top last season because everybody was so histerical and all the fashion challanges were great. Season three premiered on wedsnday night and …

Emergency!: Mascot is really the first episode of the Emergency! series, the pilot movie having come before it. This is the show that introduces the regular Station 51 shift that we quickly grew to embrace. Real life fire department Captain Dick Hammer played, yes, Captain Dick Hammer. …

Sea Hunt’s 27th episode of its third season was called Underwater Beacon, so named mostly from a piece of equipment deep sea diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) was checking out for the United States Coast Guard.
Though not my favorite stories as a rule, I do like to see the …

There’s just so much in this episode to love. For the first time that I can recall, we actually get to see ALL the heroes working together. Ok, it’s their villainous counterparts from a parallel dimension, but we still get to see a full team as opposed …

Micheal C Hall makes this series plain and simple. No other man could have done the Character of Dexter so well. His versatile acting skills have seen him through on this one.
Dexter, a blood splatter pattern analyst working for the Miami metro Police department has a dark secret…he moonlights …

This first season episode of Highway Patrol, Reckless Driving, is all about being in a hurry and ignoring the speed limit. All things considered, it’s as relevant today as it was back in 1955. People can still be careless idiots on the road. They were then, …

The Dean Martin Show Classics: Volume 1 is a look back at the wonderful musical variety hour that was The Dean Martin Show. It’s produced by Greg Garrison, who was the producer of the show. After a brief introduction by Orson Welles, we get an entrance from …

Mrs. Columbo: The Valley Strangler is from the second season of this mishandled crime adventure drama. I’d forgotten that in this second season they’d divorced the Columbos. I think that is also why it failed. They even had her going back to using her maiden name …

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 …

From season three of That Girl, we get The Homewrecker and the Window Washer. It’s the first episode that aired in 1969, and it was okay. It’s not a huge favorite of mine personally. However, the color of the show comes from Jules Munshin, who is …

This episode picks up where the last left off, with John Smith being forced to comply to an order that makes absolutely no sense to him made by beings that he has no seeming familiarity with. Kudos to Martha for turning the tables the way she did. …
