Weird is weird and that’s pretty much how I feel about The Ray Bradbury Theater: Touched with Fire despite the fact that it has a guest cast that includes Barry More and Eileen Brennan. Basically the plot of this August 1990 science fiction outing has two aging and …

Many years ago the Daily Show gained a cult following under the leadership of its original host, Craig Kilborn. With success came better offers for Mr. Kilborn, however, and he eventually made the switch to network television. John Stewart took his place.
Initially lacking, he soon came to …

Here are a few thoughts from Friday night’s Monk episode; Mr. Monk and the Dog:
One of the themes in this final season of Monk seems to be Monk’s willingness to try to get over his phobias. Earlier, he conquered his claustrophobia and, in this episode, he took in a …

There’s some drama for sure in Have Gun - Will Travel: The Protégé when Richard Boone’s Paladin teaches Peter Breck’s Kurt Sprague in gun use and etiquette. It’s so weird to see Breck playing this kind of role. He was all decked out in a proper city …

The ninth episode in the first season, “Cloak of Darkness”, picks up after the comedic genius that was “Bombad Jedi” with the capturing of Viceroy Nute Gunray as Ahsoka and Jedi Master Luminara escort him to his trial. However, Count Dooku has secretly sent his deadly assassin Asajj Ventress …

“The Ties That Bind” is a pretty bland episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. The episode features Miracle Man, Big Barda and the Flash. Mister Miracle struck me as uninteresting, and Big Barda just seems to be a rip-off of Wonder Woman. Plus, the main villians …

Bart forgets to do his book report. His teacher tells him she is concerned about his poor academics. She reminds him of the history test next day. As usual Bart does not prepare for the test and fails the test. Marge and Homer visit Dr.Pryor, who suggests that Bart …

I’m afraid that The Fall Guy: The Silent Partner just doesn’t do it for me. In fact, it turned me off the first time I saw it, back in April 1982. Aside from a boring script, I have never been able to stomach Mickey Gilley, not as …

Think of a land of glitz and glamour. Beautiful women, sun, sea and glorious sunsets. High rise tower blocks overlooking a harbour lined with millionaire’s yachts. A playboy’s paradise overflowing with the excesses of the rich and famous. Imagine the picture. And in the centre of it stands a …

CHiPs: Repo Man features Mills Watson as the repo man. In other words, he’s in the repossession business. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a lot of tact and he does a lot of underhanded things to get the job done. Quite honestly, I’ve never enjoyed Watson as …

I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again. What the heck is Dennis Rodman doing on Celebrity Apprentice? If I didn’t know before that the man is a self-absorbed idiot, I do now. His confrontation with Clint Black was childish; except it was also dangerous. …

I was watching some repeats of Law & Order SVU last night and saw one I’ve seen before but have never seen the entire episode before “Streetwise.”
This is a halfway interesting episode because it starts out with an apparent rape and murder at a park that turns out to …

Beast Wars - Other Visits, Part 1 continues the alien story arc that was first started early in the first season. Now, it seems, the aliens are once again back which sort of puzzles me because in the first season finale, the aliens stated that they were going to …

In The Fugitive: Detour on a Road Going Nowhere, convicted wife-murderer Richard Kimball is working at a country lodge when the finger gets pointed at him for a theft. This brings the police lurking, so Kimball hightails it away, taking the bus that travels to the remote location.
This …

Steve-O dropped by to explain his back injury that kept him from dancing the night before. He’s fine and wants to stick around. He also reminded everyone that Lacey Schwimmer, the pro, advised him not to do the flip that caused his injury. Lacey is known …

I have been impatiently waiting for the fall season mainly because I am eagerly awaiting the start of the television series. One of my favorite and much anticipated show is So You Think You Can Dance. Seasons 1 to 5 were shown during summer, but this fall would be …

In The Fall Guy: Child’s Play from March 1982, Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) and company go after another bail jumper, only this time there’s a catch. It’s not long before they enter a ransacked home and discover a young girl, Libby, who is the daughter of the man …

When The Beast aired originally, I reviewed most of the shows right away, but I missed a couple for one reason or another. Going back, this is now the last show to be aired. Mercy was show number 8 of this crime drama that starred Patrick Swayze …

I really enjoyed the series, or at least most of it. I have watched and rewatched it, laughed, cried and been terrified. And for the most part it was a good television show but there were some things that really annoyed me.
I hated the way they were inconsistent with …

This was one of those Simpsons episodes that I just say, were they really so out of ideas that they must have just looked out a window and saw a bird and that’s where the idea of the episode came from. Even if the whole idea of using a …

I am engrossed in the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother 2010 which, as I write, has been running for just over a week on Channel 4, with a couple more weeks to go. This is the very last one so I am trying to appreciate it before …

When the episode “Mr. Monk Goes Underwater” first aired, I had to be somewhere and didn’t get a chance to watch it. Tonight, I finally got a chance and found it to be entertaining.
This was definitely a funny episode because Monk, who is afraid of everything, finds himself onboard …

Of all the medical dramas around on TV in recent years, House, M.D. has got to be one of my favorites. I came across this series in its first season, and have been a fairly regular viewer ever since.
The writing of House is some of the smartest writing …

Diagnosis Murder: Murder with Mirrors is one of my favorite episodes of this series, and the reason is due to the special guest star, Emma Samms. I adore Emma. She’s a wonderful person and a nifty actress, so when she shows up on a show, I usually …

The show is over. Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 — The Wedding is the final episode of this navy drama. The sad part is that no one knew that at the time of the taping. Therefore, it has that typical cliffhanger ending that would never be …

I haven’t seen the MASH episode Der Tag before but I have to admit, after finally seeing it, it was kind of cute. Not hillarious, but entertaining none the less.
It falls shortly after Colonel Potter joins the unit but before Frank Burns leaves and involves B.J. and Hawkeye having …

For its 29th episode of season 6, Have Gun - Will Travel presents a very poetic show called The Lady of the Fifth Moon. I have a few thoughts about this episode, and they follow.
–This episode is just strewn with words of whimsy and love’s poems. It …

This episode takes place largely in the past. Avatar Roku decides it’s time that Aang knew what happened before the war started. Meanwhile, Zuko decides to look into Sozin’s death after receiving a mysterious note.
It’s revealed that Roku and Fire Lord Sozin were actually good friends …

As I mentioned in another review, my wife and I were watching re-runs of the show Bones this past weekend and finally got to watch one that we have seen references to from other episodes but never actually watched before; Aliens in a Spaceship.
This proved to be a very …

I think this was one of the episodes of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files” which I found most memorable and interesting. I didn’t find it to be particularly scary or gruesome either, but I still found it to be a good watch. I also saw the …

For me, Chase: Paranoia was pretty intense, though that wasn’t necessarily a positive. In some ways, this episode felt like a rerun, not of this new series, of course, but of other shows and movies I’ve seen. That doesn’t mean it was not an enjoyable watch; it …

Family Guy is actually a cartoon created by Seth MacFarlane, who most of us will know as the voice of Peter Griffin. It is not one of my favorite shows on the program Adult Swim which comes some nights on the channel Cartoon Network. Nevertheless, I still like to …

The idea behind The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and the Gentleman Crook is that the Mayberry jail is going to hold a famous outlaw for a night. This is something that puts Deputy Barney Fife in a state of utter exhilaration. He is overjoyed that Gentleman Dan …

Well before the fifth season of “The Dick Van Dyke Show” aired, Carl Reiner, creator and writer of the show, announced that the television show would only run for five seasons before wrapping up production. I think that decision is the reason the episode titled “The Bottom of Mel …

From Jake and the Fatman’s fourth season, It Never Entered My Mind served as the first instance when viewers were graced with seeing the multi-layered character of Dr. Mark Sloan. Sloan would go on to be the center of a few made for TV movies and then ultimately …

Warning. Watching this show could make you crave ice cream. Diagnosis Murder: Georgia on My Mind deals with a murder of a private investigator who was working on a case for Harry and Walter’s Ice Cream. There are frequent references to the desert and we get …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast continued with a tribute to, of all people, and I can’t even fathom why, Evel Knievel. Taped in Las Vegas, as always, the roasters included Ernest Borgnine, Gabe Kaplan, and a slew of other folks who have basically nothing to do with Knievel, …

As far as “What’s New Scooby Doo” episodes are concerned, the one entitled “The Vampire Strikes Back” was better than some of the first season episodes I’ve watched.
This one actually had a legitimate mystery in it at least.
The episode features the Hex Girls (which I can only assume means …

I really love the show Psych and I especially loved the second season. There weren’t any major cast changes and they didn’t feel the need to bring in some new person to throw the cast around. It was just Gus and Shawn, the cops and of course Shawn’s dad. …

I watched this episode of George Lopez. There is this huge loser that works at the same place where George works, and he is interested in Carmin, George’s daughter. In front of George, Loser expresses interest in Carmin, and she shoots him down, saying she has a …

Fooly Cooly Episode 2 begins in Naota’s house where Noata now has a new addition to the household besides Haruhara Haruko, who is now the housekeeper, Canti is a strange little robot, nicknamed TV Boy, who came out of Noato’s head (I’m not making this up) and after getting …

Have you been the victim of a small crime, do you need to take someone to small claims court to get the money they owe you? Don’t just take them to small claims court, take them on Judge Judy. Judge Judy is court TV show where people who have …

This episode was a little boring in my opinion. It was all to do with developing the story line for the entrance of Doomsday. A killer is going nuts all over Metropolis and Clark and Chloe are trying to find it. They go looking for the …

Beast Wars - Possession is perhaps the first episode of the show to pay tribute to the original Transformers show. In this episode, Starscream, a character from the original show, returns, and possesses Waspinator. Fans of the original will easily recognize the character’s voice and his behavior. The episode …

Stargate SG-1: The Powers That Be continues the forced journey into Vala land, a place I really don’t want to go. The only good thing is that she’s dressed in BDUs, thereby finally covering the part of her body that she so unmercifully thrusts upon viewers way too …

I’ve seen those shows a zillion times, and I have clear cut favorites of ones I enjoy watching and ones that are viewed with reluctance. Star Trek: Charlie X is one of the latter episodes. Nothing against guest star Robert Walker, Jr., but he just annoyed me …

As Due South: Call of the Wild: Part 1 opens, Constable Benton Fraser is ice fishing with his father. They talk about something being in the air, something that was going to change things. They’re right, especially since this was the first of a two-parter that ended …

Each participant in the commercial has a different gift that they’re wrapping up. One person was wrapping up a zombie (whose finger promptly comes off in the wrapping paper), another was wrapping up some other violent object of some sort. I was completely amazed by the …

I have to admit from the top that even though the acting is very good in The Twilight Zone: The Purple Testament, it’s just not a show I enjoy. I’m not sure why, but I think it’s the story and its disturbing qualities that get to me. …

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 …
