Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Cunningham Heritage TV Show
I’ve never seen the Sherlock Holmes TV series that starred Ronald Howard before, so this is very new to me. I have seen several different actors in the role of the famous London detective, but none has ever topped Basil Rathbone. From the first episode of this …

Dancing with the Stars: S11, Wk 1 Performance TV Show

MacGyver: The Road Not Taken
I suppose season two just isn’t as fun for me as season one of MacGyver was. This is another show that just doesn’t quite tickle my fancy as some others do. It’s plenty watchable, with good moments, but it’s another old flame returning, and not just for …

The Twilight Zone: Number 12 Looks Just Like You TV Show

House: Birthmarks

Star Trek’s Divine Diva: Nichelle Nichols featurette
Star Trek’s Divine Diva: Nichelle Nichols featurette was a very nice look at the wonderful actress who brought Star Trek’s communication officer, Uhura, to life.

The Batman
I think The Batman is a pretty good show. I really do enjoy the show a lot and I think the Batman they have in this version is pretty cool. I must say I did like the voice of batman in the Batman the animated series cartoon from the old …
