Have Gun - Will Travel: A Drop of Blood TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Drop of Blood, from December 1961, was a follow up to an episode done the year before. They brought back the two main stars from that show, Martin Gabel and Roxane Berard, as well as one other performer from that show.

New Girl ,’A Chill Day in’, TV show
As I wrote my review of the episode Road Trip I really feel the need to write my review of episode ‘A chill day in’. These two episodes are a long way from the episodes we got used to watching in these last two seasons which are sometimes good but …
Birds of Prey episode 5: Sins of the Mother
One of the strangest things about this show was the direction that they took with Dinah. It hasn’t been “bad” exactly, just very bizarre. It seems like they could have just used Dinah in her more traditional Black Canary persona. This episode seems like it is …
House: Moving the Chains
Well, last night’s episode of House was somewhat interesting.
First, you had a football player on the verge of being drafted by the NFL suffering some sort of ailment that causes his skin to turn white (he’s black) and have a breakdown on the field that causes him to beat …
The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham TV Show
From April 1967, The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham was the final episode of the fifth season. After an amusing opening scene with James Drury as The Virginian and a couple of odd and end scenes, including an action oriented chase of a Medicine Bow posse, …
The Twilight Zone: A Stop at Willoughby TV Show
It’s hard to forget The Twilight Zone: A Stop at Willoughby which is an episode I’ve seen more times than I can count. I think one of the reasons it’s so memorable is because we all really would love to have a Willoughby of our own, to have …
Inception 4Movie Premier Special TV Show
The Inception 4Movie Premier Special is a British show that featured interviews with the cast of the new movie, Inception, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio. The movie was released in mid-July 2010.
I haven’t seen this movie yet, but I’ve seen the trailer, and it really looks a little confusing …
M*A*S*H: House Arrest
The wonderful character actress Mary Wickes guest stars in M*A*S*H: House Arrest from season three. Wickes is just amazing. She has a long history of comedic performances that are delightful, from The Trouble with Angels to Sister Act. I always know when I see her name …
Smallville Season 8 Episode 6
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 …
The Andy Griffith Show: Back to Nature TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Back to Nature is an entertaining fourth season episode that showcases Barney’s bigger than life ego. Wonderful Barney always thinks he’s better than he is. In this case, he envisions himself as a master Boy Scout, an outdoorsman who can survive anything. …
Gilligan’s Island - Home Sweet Hut TV Show
This is episode two and the castaways have decided to build a hut, only one hut to live in. I love how the castaways are optimistic even at the thought of having to live on a deserted island for years and years. Gilligan always causes crazy accidents and this …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 10
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 10 has Togusa trying to help a woman who is in a domestic dispute as he can’t stop the man who killed her, he is taken to trial.
I liked this anime a lot, and it’s one of my favorites, …
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 13- Poison
I really liked this episode. It was very well plotted and quite unusual. I thought it was great the way they broke away from the violent rape and murder pattern and focused on a killer who had chosen a subtler weapon (although not less deadly) to do his thing. …
Stargate SG1: Family
This episode marks the first rising of Apophis. While SG1 believed that Apophis was killed in the explosion on his ship, Bray’tek tells them that he and Klorel escaped via the rings, much like Daniel did.
Bray’tek tells Teal’c that Apophis has kidnapped his son, R’yac. The team …
M*A*S*H: That’s Show Biz
The first episode from season 10, M*A*S*H: That’s Show Biz, is a very pleasant and fun show to watch. It’s more focused on a positive tone, and it’s a great way to start off a new year of shows, especially since season nine ended with somewhat of a …
Undercover Boss: 7-Eleven
The latest episode of Undercover Boss had the CEO of 7-Eleven, Joseph M. DePinto, taking on a false identity to check out just how well his stores really do. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I applaud the CEOs who have the guts to do …
Project Runway Season 1 Episode 2
There is something to be said for a person with a great sense of humor, and Jay Carroll proves he’s that person in this episode.
The episode opens up with Heidi on the runway along with the models. The designers get the opportunity to either keep their original model or …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Revenger, the third outing for the fifth season of this half hour, black and white western starring Richard Boone, has Paladin going to Yuma, Arizona. To get there, he takes a stagecoach, and it’s a crowded ride. I’m not sure I’ve …
Drew Carey Show
I love to watch the Drew Carey Show. I think this is one of the best and funniest TV shows I have ever seen. Drew Carey is just such a funny guy and he makes me laugh. I think the whole story about Drew and his friends drinking beer and …
MTV
Lately when I have been watching television I have been going to mtv more often. They have some really good shows on a lot of the time. I like most of the shows that they play. They also play them on a lot of the time. I think that …
Judge Mathis Television Show
I am a huge fan of the Judge Mathis Television Show. In a genre where the majority of television judges attempt to be too strict and harsh, Judge Mathis is able to maintain a feeling in his courtroom of humor and accountability. It does not matter what …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Helpless
One of the things I never liked about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the fact the main character has almost superhero-like powers to help her fight evil; something that gives her almost too much of an advantage.
That’s one thing I liked about the episode “Helpless.” Buffy, who is turning …
Smallville 8.14: Requiem
There are spoilers so be aware of that before you read the review.
When the episode opened and we saw a chubby man talking to a clown doll, my first thought was “Is that Toyman?”. The answer is affirmative. Like Dan Turpin did a few weeks back, the …
Star Stories Peter and Jordan
Star Stories is a scathing comedy show that tells the story of different celebrities in each episode and this one tells the story of Peter Andre and Katie Price (or, Katie Price aka Jordan as he calls her) up until their fateful meeting on I’m a Celebrity Get Me …
Private Eye: Pilot
Maybe I’m just old, or maybe there was just too much going on, but I found the pilot movie for Private Eye to be very confusing in its set up. The first half hour just left me wondering who was who and what was what. It did …
Lost: Jughead
This episode of lost felt different from many others in large part because much of the original cast were not in it. We didn’t see what happened to Hurley after the last episode, or any of the other oceanic 6, instead we are with Faraday and the other scientist …
Life on Mars season 1 episode 15 All the Young Dudes
An Irish gang is hijacking VCRs although they don’t actually call those things VCRs back in 1973, they call them gizmos. The detectives from 125th squad arrest some of them but they want to put a stop to it so Sam went under cover with the gang to investigate. …
Modern Marvels from History Channel
Modern Marvels is a great show brought to the viewing public by the History channel.
I like being able to tun this program on and then learn about some of the structures and how they were built. Everything from collapsed and fixed bridges to antenna towers to bullet trains …
MASH-Season 4
This was an interesting season. First, you have two major characters getting replaced (Col. Potter replaces Henry Blake, who was killed in Season 3 and B. J. Hunnicut replaces Trapper John, who was shipped home).
In addition, you have one of the worst episodes ever. It consisted of Hawkeye (who …
M*A*S*H 30th Anniversary Reunion
In 2002, the M*A*S*H 30th Anniversary Reunion aired, reuniting the majority of cast and crew members for the first time since the groundbreaking series had gone off the air. Mike Farrell did the introduction at the very beginning and then it went to a wonderful, casual discussion with …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Memories of Monica TV Show
Off the bat, let me say that I really don’t like these early season six shows that don’t open with a San Francisco teaser. Instead, they are getting right to the action. We miss the fun side of Paladin, that other part of him that is fancier: …
Ramsays Best Restaurant - C4 TV Series
Ramays Best Restaurant
Having created a persona that is recognized as much for its fiery temper and his constant use of swear words as his talent for cooking fine food, it makes a nice change to see Gordon Ramsay front a t.v show like this.
Usually seen entering down trodden, under …
Knight Rider show
I remember when I was very little there was this show about a Super car that could talk and think for itself. Although I am a girl I was always interested in similar things. While my girlfriends were watching queen and princess cartoons I was much more interested in …
Watch What Happens: Live
Watch What Happens: Live is new to the Bravo Channel in 2009 and personally, I think it needs to go away and be a memory. I just wasn’t impressed at all by what I saw. The only reason I tuned in was to see who the Top …
Star Trek: The Paradise Syndrome TV Show
Star Trek: The Paradise Syndrome is really a tender show. I’m not into the Kirk romances, but I do like this one because it is true of spirit. It’s real and not some sophisticated thing or past fling who returns. This is a love of the …
The Young Rebels: Father and I Went Down to Camp TV Show
With the 1970 TV season came a new show for me to love as a young girl. It was about revolutionary times, specifically those living in the town of Chester. Of particular note were twenty-ish Jeremy Larkin, his girlfriend Elizabeth, and two good friends, Henry the intellectual, …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Prodigy
Synopsis: Detectives need to figure out who brutally murdered a man and woman and then later decapitated the female victim? Was it a young man with a high IQ but murderous tendencies or was it someone else close to her?
What I liked about this episode: I love the fact …
G. Garvin’s Cooking Show (TV One)
I really wanted to like this cooking show as I love to watch shows where people are getting down in the kitchen. I also like the fact that there is a black man on television who embraces being in the kitchen. In any case I …
I Eat 33,000 Calories a Day
I was really disgusted when I watched this program. I am not trying to talk badly about fat people. But these shown in this TLC show have all admitted to having food addictions. What I wonder is why no one has addressed the food addiction …
That Girl: What’s in a Name? (original pilot)
What’s in a Name is the original pilot for the That Girl comedy series. While some things are the same, the performers are largely different. There’s one very important change in this regard, and that concerned the character played by Ted Bessell. Most recall Bessell as …
Family Guy
In the past, I really wasn’t much of a Family Guy fan. I would watch the show and laugh at a few of the jokes but thought a lot of the stuff was a bit too crude for my tastes so I never was a huge fan.
I’m not sure …
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 5
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 5 is the big wrap up to this P.D. James murder mystery. We get lots of answers and more suspense. This is a much better conclusion than what I’ve seen in some of the other television adaptations of James’ novels.
I must …
Stargate SG1: The First Commandment
This episode dealt with a Colonel from Stargate Command who actually fell for the, “You’re a God,” rhetoric that primitive people always spouted when teams came through the Stargate.
Seems another Stargate team was sent to a planet and never returned. When SG1 arrives, they find out from one …
Alan Carr Chatty Man
Alan Carr: Chatty Man is a pretty good show that is usually worth watching. Alan Carr has grown on me since he branched out with this, his own chat show, and I think he is a very funny guy. He will not mind me saying that he …
Star Trek the Next Generation TV Episodes: Survivors
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 …
The Twilight Zone: The Bewitchin’ Pool TV Show
All good things come to an end, and such was the case for The Twilight Zone with this interesting outing called The Bewitchin’ Pool. I really like this show and believe that this groundbreaking science fiction series went out on top.
Basically, we have a couple of warring parents …
M*A*S*H: Iron Guts Kelly
It had to happen sooner or later and as it turns out, it happened in the third season of this hit comedy series about the Korean War. In M*A*S*H: Iron Guts Kelly, a general arrives for a stopover at the 4077th. With General Kelly is his number …
Married with Children TV Episode: Where’s the Boss
Synopsis: Al grows frustrated over the fact his boss has never visited him at work and doesn’t know he even exists so he threatens to quit if the store’s owner doesn’t show up to shake his hand within 30 days.
