One of the fun things about the Baby Food episode of CHiPs is that we can extrapolate what the show might have been had Erik Estrada won the role of Frak Poncherello. This is because Joe Nicassio guest stars as a young man, sort of hippie-ish, who is …

However, …

I was looking forward to finally seeing a new episode of House last night. But, after seeing the episode, Lockdown (or, at least parts of it in between putting the kids to bed), I have to say I was very disappointed.
The premise was OK, the hospital is locked down …

A Kiss Saves the Day was the second lap on the race around the globe in the Emmy award winning reality series, The Amazing Race. The teams ended up in Africa where people are everywhere; it’s almost like India. They all had a reaction to the abundance …

Following the aftermath of a friendship breakdown between Winn and Kara from “Childish Things” episode, it was noticeable with only two appearances from Jeremy Jordan as Winn here.

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Symbiosis is one of the blander episodes from the first season and only a mildly interesting Prime Directive story. I also feel that the dialogue at times is a little awkward and forced, like during the conversation of Lt. Yar and Acting Ensign …

M*A*S*H: Life with Father is one of those shows that makes me stop and shake my head. During the entire half hour show, Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) is all upset because of a letter from his wife. Actually, at first he’s happy about it because she tells …

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Wilmer Bass and the Serengeti Kid is supposed to be a bit comedic and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

The Ghostbusters are called in to bust the ghost of Casey Jones, the legendary engineer who died in a train wreck a hundred years ago. This was a great episode, it was tense, it had plenty of character moments, great jokes, and very little of Slimer.
The spud does …

In my opinion, the third episode of Touching Evil called Justine was the most intense yet. It was spellbinding at the end. I just couldn’t take my eyes off the screen.
What Justine does is wrap up the story that was begun in the pilot, while also taking …

The second episode is another example of why this show is so funny. Consisting of two skits, Bubblestand and Ripped Pants, viewers are treated to both laughs and great music.
The most memorable of the two skits was the Ripped Pants skit, where Spongebob entertains the beach crowd by ripping …

“I am alone. Somebody come get me.” This is the phrase that defines this show, and it’s a powerful one.

Lie Detector is an intriguing early look at the technology of the lie detector which occurred in this 1956 episode of Highway Patrol.

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Singer was an episode of this thirty-minute black and white western that I really enjoyed. Since the last few were ‘misses’ in my book, I enjoyed seeing this ‘hit’. It began with a brief moment of levity, one that occurred when …

Quite honestly, I hate MacGyver: Kill Zone and I hate it for a simple reason. I’m an animal lover, and I do *not* like what happens here. I don’t like what I have to look at in the opening scene that is the set up for the …

In a time when everyone from D-list celebrities to former supermodels has their own television talk shows, I find “The Wendy Williams Show” to be extremely refreshing. Every aspect of the show is fabulous- from its larger than life host Wendy Williams to the outrageous and super flamboyant …

This episode is the one wherein Jack finally comes to terms with the death of his son, Charlie. Or rather, an alien form which looks like Jack helps him to deal.
This episode had to happen. Kurt Russell had portrayed Jack O’Neill as a more, shall we say …

OK, last night’s SVU episode, Spooked, was one of the most predictable episodes I’ve seen.

My daughter hasn’t watched Kim Possible in a while so I took the time to load some of the old TV episodes on our netflix player today. We ended up watching a couple of them from the third season; including a very funny episode, Emotion Sickness.
This one starts out …

Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations begins with the always insecure Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) grousing about Teyla keeping her baby from him. It’s an insane conversation that includes a tidbit about McKay having been dropped when he was an infant. I’m with Sheppard — it explains a …

M*A*S*H: Point of View is a really unique and interesting episode of this series. The entire story, from fade in to fade out, is told from the eyes of Private Rich. Every angle and every view is from his perspective. What an ingenious idea someone came …

The sensational blend of voices known as Celtic Woman has offered up a new concert for the masses on PBS and it’s a good one. Celtic Woman: Songs, From the Heart is enchanting. I’ve watched it four times in three days: that’s how much I like it.

I’m not really sure how to describe Have Gun - Will Travel: The Colonel and the Lady. It’s almost like a fairytale in a sense. It’s about secrets and double lives. I had it figured out about halfway through; others might get it from the beginning.
Robert …
