I can’t believe ABC renewed the True Beauty series. I watched it in total disbelief last season. The concept is that models compete in various challenges for what they think are events to find the most beautiful person. Well, they’re right, except that the models assume …

Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) celebrates a birthday in Diagnosis Murder: The Busy Body from season two. What this really does is give the show a chance for some slapstick type comedy. This occurs when a policewoman shows up and slaps handcuffs on Mark, only she’s really …

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 …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bostonian was a waste of viewing time in my book. I just felt like I’d seen versions of this tale many times, not the least of which were in other episodes of this western series. What amazes me is that it …

Family Matters is a classic American TV show. This show is just awesome. It is the show introduced the character known as Urkel to the world. I loved watching this show when I was growing up as a kid. I think this is one of the funnest shows ever made. …

I thought this episode of the popular 90s television show “The X-Files” was one of the more interesting ones which I think I could watch again. In fact, I didn’t find it creepy or overly weird but I just thought that the plot itself was interesting, so when I …

I think that Are you Smarter than a 5th grader is a pretty cool TV show. The idea is original and has never been done before. So this makes the show really cool in my eyes. I mean it’s funny to see 5th grader’s be able ot answer questions that …

“Learn How to Be Skinny from Usagi” is the fourth episode of the Sailor Moon series. This is an episode that I feel doesn’t quite have as interesting of a story as some of the previous ones or some that followed after it. The heart of the story is …

What I loved about this fourth episode of The Amazing Race’s 17th season is that it showed the teams giving back a little by helping to renovate an elementary school. Survivor started giving back years ago, so why it’s taken The Amazing Race so long to realize that …

Hey, look at this. Another Buffy the Vampire Slayer season and another episode revolving around her (19th) birthday. Doesn’t anyone else have a birthday on the show?

3rd Rock from the Sun is one of the funniest shows I have seen. The show is about a family of aliens who are loving here on earth. I think the fact that they took human bodies is really funny. One of my favorite characters in the show is …

We ended up watching a couple Christmas specials last night since nothing else was on and because my daughter was able to stay up a bit because her school was cancelled for a snow day today.
One of the ones we watched was a classic; Charlie Brown Christmas. It’s not …

It’s Roger Wilson’s turn to take the point in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Daniel’s Song. Wilson plays Daniel McFadden, the 4th of the 7 sibling brothers. He’s always singing and dancing when not working the ranch, and when he’s not doing that, he’s playing the guitar.
In …

I generally find some reality television series about supposed real life hauntings to be addictive. For example, I loved watching the television series “Ghost Hunters” when my time wasn’t so limited and when it would air regularly on the cable television channel Syfy. I also liked watching series such …

In the commentary for That Girl: Paper Hats and Everything , Marlo Thomas talks about the tenderness of this episode and how her father actually did always take her out on her birthday. It was very special to her. She actually got a little choked up talking …

The Reel World of Frank Buck concerns a documentary maker who wants to get footage of Buck in action in this episode of Bring ‘Em Back Alive from 1985. Bruce Boxleitner stars as Buck, but I’m not impressed with him at all. He’s never been an actor …

I was looking forward to seeing the one-off drama ‘Worried About the Boy’ and I think it was one of the best things on television lately. It re-enacts the story of how Boy George, of Culture Club fame, rose to fame back in the early 1980s but I …

Well, that was an OK episode of Family Guy last night, but not one I was overly impressed with either.
In The Kiss Seen Around the World, Meg develops a crush on the local TV anchorman and accepts an unpaid internship just to get close to him. However, while there, …

Ok, here is a show that I have huge problems with. First of all, let’s start off with the premise of the show. For one thing, I don’t really get the idea of trying out other dates in an effort to figure out whether or not …

The Nemesis episode of The Fugitive is one of those I really like a lot. We meet Lt. Gerard’s son, Phil, Jr. The two have been driving back home from taking Gerard’s mother home when the police detective gets word that Richard Kimball has been spotted …

I have to admit to having quite mixed feelings about this particular TV series - although the show can be quite riveting at times, some of its subplots in the past have proven to lack satisfying resolution, the gore and sexuality can be excessive to the point of inducing …

I have been resisting Glee since its earliest appearance on the radar. As the obsession grew and people began naming themselves “Gleeks” and making the show their facebook status, the idea of the show became more and more repugnant to me. Why would intelligent adults waste their time on …

My favorite TV series of all time, NCIS is on its seventh season this fall 2009. I discovered this show while watching re-runs of American shows in a government-owned television channel in the Philippines. I was hooked from the first time I watched it, and from then I …

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 …

I absolutely love the concept behind the animated program, Star Trek: The Time Trap. This 1973 series did a lot of shows that built on some of the live action shows, but they also had several, like this one, which were quite original to the Star Trek universe. …

I don’t really remember watching this show, Columbo: Last Salute to the Commodore, but I’m sure I did. It’s just fallen out of my brain, and I believe the reason for that is that it’s quite possibly the worst episode of Columbo ever. It’s dull, not just …

Merlin’s Apprentice is not a sequel to the original 1998 Hallmark production,Merlin,which also starred Sam Neil in the title role and Miranda Richardson in the supporting cast. The 1998 Merlin is one of the few film interpretations of the Authurian legend that I like,and I also have always …

This is one of the best drama series for young adults and twenty-somethings. I started watching this show last season, and I have to say that I am really hooked on it. Everything about it is great!
First of all, the story is very intriguing. A group of …

Collectible Trek is a very information look at the world of Star Trek collectibles. This isn’t just a show and tell feature. It does much more than show an action figure and say how much it’s worth at the time this was filmed. It really hones …

After last night’s Simpson’s repeat, I left the TV on and started watching the Family Guy episode that was following it; Quagmire’s Dad. About 10 minutes into the episode, I realized it really wasn’t suitable for my daughter and sent her out of the room (I told her she …

Most of you probably remember, from 1994 to 2004, the television show, “Friends.” When the show first started off, people involved in the show were not entirely positive that it would stick around beyond the first few episodes. Lisa Kudrow even kept her role on the show …

Fans of Japanese cartoons- anime- no doubt looked forward to the premiere of the anime Naruto on Cartoon Network Saturday nights. However, devotees of the show are likely to be disappointed by its dub. To those unfamiliar with the process, the original Japanese language track is removed …

I haven’t watch the show Star Trek the Next Generation in a long while. But, there was nothing better on TV tonight so I ended up watching an episode of it; Survivors.
This proved to be a pretty decent episode. The Enterprise comes across a planet that has been devastated …

I’m not a huge fan of Shonda Rhimes. For everyone that doesn’t know her, she is the creator of shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice and Scandal, she likes to mix her characters and give a lot of drama to their lives. I’ve seen a lot of her shows and …

Things are turning south for this show. While there is intrigue, I see indications of it going by way of Bring ‘Em Back Alive, and I think that’s a shame. In Tales of the Gold Monkey: God Save the Queen, Jake and Corky discover that someone they …

Columbo: Make Me a Perfect Murder is a memorable outing for the famous detective mainly because of the superb cold and calculating performance of Trish Van Devere. She’s actually the traditional lady scorned, both personally and professionally, and she is out to get her revenge.
Van Devere portrays Kay …

The second episode of the TNT series “Charmed” of their first season entitled “I’ve got you under my skin” was not only suspenseful but very entertaining. I really enjoyed getting to know the three Hallowell sister’s even better and see how their powers are causing not only strength between …
