Night Gallery: Clean Kills And Other Trophies TV Show
Clean Kills And Other Trophies featured Raymond Massey and included Herbert Jefferson Jr. and Tom Troupe. A big part of the story revolves around hunting, and since I’m against hunting, it’s a little disturbing. This is especially true in the opening scene which takes place in Massey’s …
Spongebob Squarepants:Big Pink Loser
Because of my daughter, I have seen almost every episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. The one episode I�ve seen a dozen times and still find hilarious is Big Pink Loser.
This episode focuses on Patrick, (Spongebob�s Starfish friend) and how he is upset about never winning an award. And, he gets …

Family Guy - Season 9
For a show that got canceled twice before, Family Guy had been doing a great job in giving exactly what it had promised, 30 minutes of funny jokes and scenes where you ask yourself what movies they took that from. Yet, …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Shrine TV Show
Underwater Shrine. episode 23 from the second season of Sea Hunt, had deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson in the ocean waters with a pair of archaeologists who happen to be married.

Masquerade: Diamonds
The opening of this all-too-brief TV drama is a song called, appropriately, Masquerade and is sung by Crystal Gayle, who was one of the hottest country western music singers of the era. I love listening to it. I also love the beginning before the sung starts when …
Gilmore Girls TV Series
This hour long show lasted for seven seasons; whenever there is a rerun I watch it. It still runs about once per day.
Gilmore Girls were great for lively banter. Every character, but especially Lorelai, one of the two main characters, has a witty comeback or a funny situation. …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jackie Gleason TV Show
And away we go! It was Jackie Gleason’s turn to be honored as the Man of the Hour on the The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast which took place in one of the showrooms in Las Vegas. The dais did include some Honeymooner alumni, and I was happy …

Simpsons TV Episode: Skinner’s Sense of Snow
I had the Simpsons on yesterday afternoon and, for a change, the channel wasn’t showing a repeat that I had seen several dozen times before. Instead, they had a newer episode (at least for me) called Skinner’s Sense of Snow.
This episode was a bit bizarre at times and I …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-14-10 TV Show
I’m just not a Martha fan, but for various reasons I’m having to watch a few episodes, which is why I’m reviewing them. This second show of this latest version of her show was from September 14, 2010. This year, her show is the lead off for …
Sci Fi’s Tin Man
Unlike many Americans, I’m not obsessed with television. At least not to the point where I will plan my life around it; with the exception of Green Bay Packers games.
This week, I discovered a mini-series that actually has me clearing my schedule.
When I saw the previews for the Sci …
Best Week Ever
I’m not sure if Best Week Ever is still on televsion, but “Best Week Ever” was a series which would be aired every week on VH1. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first since I realise that many of these programmed on Vh1 tend to be nothing …
Friends TV show - The one where Dr. Ramoray Dies

This episode picks up where the cliffhanger from the previous episode left off, with the TARDIS taking the crew somewhere on its own. The destination is an alien world where a faction of humans is at war with a race of aliens called the Hath. Upon arrival, …
Lipstick and Dynamite
I’m not sure what I think of the women of Lipstick and Dynamite. Their story is one of the first women who were professional wrestlers. If you want to see a story about truly strong women, in many ways then this is the perfect story.
Wrestling, while staged, is certainly not …

Smallville: Prey
“Prey” is the sixth episode of season eight of Smallville. Simply stated, this was a great episode! It had action, mystery, and tension between Clark and Chloe that, for once, did not seem forced or contrived. People, even best friends, disagree with each other. Both …
Star Trek: The Return of the Archons TV Show
Here’ another classic episode, one that is so very Star Trek. Harry Townes as Reger is the main guest star in Star Trek: The Return of the Archons, from February 1967.
I also love the concept of the show’s beginning with the Enterprise investigating the disappearance of a ship …

Ghost Hunters Academy: Drama Queen
Yeah, I just don’t feel Ghost Hunters Academy. The show is interesting at times but the whole contest thing just doesn’t seem to have any sort of guidelines for the show to work with.
Last week, they got rid of Heathyr. This week, they didn’t even make an effort to …
Animal Miracles show
“Animal Miracles” is an inspirational television show that airs on the Animal Planet cable network. Hosted by Alan Thicke, each episode features stories about real-life stories where pets committed heroic acts by saving the lives of their owners. Too many people are just not aware of how important …
Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 8
Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 8 is the final episode of this experimental concept where former teen idols were brought together on their quest to reclaim their fame.

From November 1962, the third season of this wonderful comedy series, The Andy Griffith Show: Lawman Barney has Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) attempting to get his deputy’s confidence back on track after Barney Fife (Don Knotts) is intimated by a couple of mobile street vendors.
It all begins simply …
Sea Hunt: The Living Fossil TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 15th episode of its third season on the air was called The Living Fossil. Airing back in April 1960, this episode was a little unique in that it focused on deep sea diver Mike Nelson (aptly portrayed by Lloyd Nelson) working with others on a special …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Downwind from Gettysburg TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Downwind from Gettysburg starts out reminding me of the living Mr. Lincoln exhibit from Disneyland. I’ve seen that marvelous show numerous times over the years, and it’s marvelous the way Disney created a Lincoln who could stand and talk to the visitors.
In Downwind from …
Sea Hunt: Monte Cristo TV Show
I enjoyed Sea Hunt: Monte Cristo quite a bit for several reasons. For one thing, when we saw scenes in the ocean, we saw some of the sea life. It was a little bit more than some of the shows I’ve seen lately.
For another thing, I loved …
Hercules:The Legendary Journeys TV show
This is my favorite episode from the first season of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Although a little cheesy at times (and what Hercules episode isn’t,to a certain extant),it is humorous,fast-paced and just plain fun. And I always enjoy it when Michael Hurst,who plays Hercules best friend,Iolaus,joins the cast because …
Stargate Atlantis Season 5 DVD Set

The set is attractive, coming in a nice box and with two DVDs per slim …
Friends Episode: Rachel and Her Dream
Friends Episode: Rachel and Her Dream is cool. Have you guys ever seen this episode whereby Rachel follows Joey to see him acting in the set of Days of Our Lives? Actually it starts off with Joey talking to a pineapple and Rachel sees that and starts teasing …
House TV Episode: Guardian Angel
There wasn’t much on TV tonight so I ended up watching a re-run of the show House that I might have seen before but really don’t remember; Guardian Angel.

Ghost Hunters International
Last night was the first time I actually took some time to watch the show Ghost Hunters International with my wife. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible program. But, I’m not sure if it was as good as I expected it to be.
I’ve watched the American version of the show …
Gilligan’s Island - Gilligan’s Personal Magnatism TV Show
This is a great episode, lots of action, lightening strikes, and bizarre natural occurrences. The Professor has lots of challenges ahead of him. And I can almost see the gears turning in his scientific mind of his trying to help Gilligan. And this episode is definitely high up there …
Here Come the Brides: A Jew Named Sullivan
Here Come the Brides: A Jew Named Sullivan from season one of this ABC series of the late 60’s allows us to really grow to love the Biddie Cloom character. Biddie is a bit of silly girl. She always wants to be in love. Outwardly, she’s …
Star Trek: Beyond the Farthest Star TV Show
Star Trek: Beyond the Farthest Star is the first of the animated Star Trek episodes produced in 1973. It takes a little getting used to, seeing the quirks of the animated series, as in more animated characters from other species, but the essence of Trek is still there.
The …
The Prisoner: Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling
Now this is an intriguing show. The Prisoner: Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling gives star Patrick McGoohan a bit of a rest. Most of the show, his mind is in another man’s body, so all we hear are his thoughts. That’s a nice way …
The Twilight Zone: Third from the Sun TV Show
One of the things I’ve always remembered about the filming of The Twilight Zone: Third from the Sun is how the show is filmed. It’s the camera angles that really give it a warped feel. It’s vital for the story and it puts the viewer off guard.
The …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 5: Troll Bridge
The first few minutes of this episode had me worried that this was going to be a dud. We follow what is later to be revealed to be a troll as he goes off on his own and had “wacky adventures” in New York City. Luckily, we …

40 Hottest Hotties of the 90s (VH1 TV show)
This VH1 segment was really interesting. I love it when VH1 does shows that reminisce over the 1990s or 1980s. They always pick out the most hilarious aspects of pop culture. This segment focused on celebrities who were the hottest things in the 1990s. Topping …
The Office: The Coup
Dwight from The Office is one of my favorite characters ever. Usually when a character is annoying on a television show the actually annoy me, but Dwight is different. Perhaps it’s the reactions of everyone else or the fact that the things he does are more socially inept that …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Darlings Are Coming TV Show
In March 1963, the Darlings didn’t just come, they arrived, and they did it in their own unique style. The show was The Andy Griffith Show: The Darlings Are Coming, and it was the first of several shows that would feature this folk singing family from the hills.
Denver …
Ghost Hunters: Attack of the Irish Elementals
I finally got to see the episodes where the TAPS team gets to travel to Ireland and England to do some investigating. And, the episode “Attack of the Irish Elementals” is definitely an interesting one.
First of all though, how did that one guest investigator Barry (later a star of …
House: Family
What a great House episode. It’s just too bad more recent episodes have stunk. The episode “Family” is apparently the one that starts setting things in motion for the show in terms of House getting a whole new staff. But, the case itself is definitely interesting too.
You have two …
