From July 1961, the fourth season of Sea Hunt, came this 27th show of the year called Dark Evil. I like the name here because it really did cover the villain of the show, which was actually a fish which had some deadly chemicals inside of it. …

This first season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Datalore” is an episode that I enjoy watching, but it is also an episode that is weakened by writing that is a bit too convenient and wobbly in my opinion. The episode definitely suffers from some faults that …

Columbo: Any Old Port in a Storm is one of those shows that has stayed with me since it first aired. I’ve seen it repeatedly over the years and it has a place in my memory cells, even though I’m not fond of the lead guest star, Donald …

My wife decided she would rather talk to her pretend friends on Facebook last night than spend any time with me so I turned on another re-run of the show Psych that I had not seen before. This time around, it was the season 3 episode Disco Didn’t Die, …

You know, I used to like watching Ghost Hunters. I even used to plan my evenings around each new episode. But, after watching yet another disappointing one last night, I am starting to wonder if maybe I should change my allegiance to another program.
I still like TAPS and its …

This comedy series changes in a big way with M*A*S*H: Margaret’s Engagement, and it was about a year overdue. The writing was on the wall in season four. Loretta Swit had to be jumping for joy as this is the beginning of taking her Margaret ‘Hot Lips’ …

I definitely enjoy the Surviving the Cut. It educates the everyday viewer about the military elite and all that they have to do to get there. Well, not all because actually some of it is classified. The cameras frequently have to shut off to avoid showing …

MacGyver: The Negotiator has Mac doing a wildlife survey for a proposed marina. Believing MacGyver’s survey will stop the project, the villainous Mr. Knapp, played aptly by the always good David Ackroyd, hires a beautiful woman to convince MacGyver to give a positive report, or kill him to …

Here is another spooky episode more in gear towards Halloween than a normal Gilligan’s Island episode. This one kind of creeps me out to watch, since Gilligan and the Skipper freak out and think Gilligan has turned vampire. Of course the Skipper gets caught up into Gilligan’s paranoid state, …

If you purchase the 30th Anniversary Special Edition DVD of Blazing Saddles, you will find nestled within its handful of special features the pilot episode of the never televised series Black Bart. I was very interested to see this myself, considering that Blazing Saddles is one of my …

It starts out with Monk and Natalie standing in line …

I thought this episode of the popular 90s television show “The X-Files” was one of the more interesting ones which I think I could watch again. In fact, I didn’t find it creepy or overly weird but I just thought that the plot itself was interesting, so when I …

Last summer I discovered “The Tyra Banks Show”, and currently, it is the only daytime talk show I would anticipate, sit and watch. It is hosted by the former very popular African American supermodel Tyra Banks, who also for some time in the past helped host “The Oprah Winfrey …

It’s official, I absolutely love the second season. Season 2 of “The Two Coreys” is to Season 1 what “The Godfather, Part II” is to “The Godfather”. The title of this episode, “Intervention”, is exactly what it’s about. This one delves deep into Corey Haim who finds himself in …

As I continue this series of reviews of Painkiller Jane, an original series from the Sci Fi Channel, I am typing them up as I watch them. I started with the first episode and then jumped to where I am in the series. I will go back …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter is written by Gene Roddenberry in his pre-Star Trek days. I have to give the show credit here, too, because it brought back characters regularly for follow ups; at least, that’s what has been happening in the first …

I really like the opening part of Stargate: Infinity: Coming Home which deals with the age old problem of prejudice. One of the members of Major Bonner’s team is named Ec’co. He’s a green, rather unusual alien being. However, he’s also a half breed. His …

“Double Date” was an interesting episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. Essentially, the episode features Black Canary and Green Arrow fighting against Huntress and the Question. There is sexual tension in each couple, and the women clearly do not like each other, for whatever reason. …

This latest season of Top Chef has been taking place in the nation’s capitol, Washington D.C. In this show, the quick fire challenge has the contestants cooking with some very exotic, unappealing foods, like Emu eggs, frog legs, and duck testicles. It’s just not appealing. Fifteen …

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 …

One of my favourite series to watch on the SyFy channel these days is “Face Off”. However, that wasn’t always the case since up to last year I would see it being aired and never really took to it since I just didn’t think that it would be my …

This used to be my absolute favorite show when I was younger. I am still so sad that there will never be a new episode again. But luckily, they are still showing reruns and probably always will because it was such a successful show. I would watch it every …

I’m not really very familiar with Plastic Man. I always think that the episodes with him involved are going to be sub-par but they usually turn out to be rather enjoyable.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Sqweegel is yet another story about a serial killer on the loose. There is something that makes this one different, but it sure feels like CSI is having troubles coming up with new tales to tell.
The intrigue comes when it is realized that local …

I love all 3 CSI’s. The Las Vegas one is my very favorite though. I always try and figure out who did it and why they did it. I look forward to Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. If I am going to miss an episode, I make sure I …

Stargate SG-1: Bounty gets mixed reviews, which isn’t that all surprising as season ten starts to wrap up. In this episode, Netan of the Lucian Alliance puts out a bounty on SG-1, all of whom are on downtime of some sort of another.
The oddest segment is Mitchell returning …

As I mentioned before, my wife and I are watching the first season of the show Ghost Hunters on DVD and watched the second episode, Mishler Theatre, last night.

As a young child, I adored watching TV westerns. I definitely had my favorites and still do. No western for me is as great as Laramie, for example. That said, many westerns held my interest and curiosity, including Have Gun - Will Travel, a show that …

My problem in the last few years with Dancing with the Stars is that the judges have favorites and they push for them. It’s a bit of selective visuals.
Here’s my current case in point. The last free dance performance of the night was Derek Hough and celebrity …

There is a cartoon that is on Noggin which has only been on for about 3 months now. It is called Little Bill, and is a cartoon created by Bill Cosby. This show is geared towards a much younger age range than Cosby’s other cartoon he was affiliated with, …

Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show sidekick Ed McMahon was the Man of the Week on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Carson was roasted himself a few episodes after this one. Oddly, Carson didn’t attend this roast, and McMahon wasn’t at Carson’s. You’d think …

Fred is obsessed with taking pictures of Pebbles so Wilma makes …

Last night, I finally got to get my Simpsons fix by watching a re-run on network TV. And, I was glad to see it was an episode I have seen in the past and loved; The Cartridge Family.
The episode starts out making fun of soccer (and how Americans think …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Data’s Day” is a fun episode to watch. Unlike every other episode of the series, this episode’s story is told from Data’s perspective. The story follows Data as he goes about his “typical day” while the character speaks in the background. Data is …

The Tila Tequila is a reality TV show which is about her choosing the guy or the girl that she likes. This show is a controversy for some people but it’s also the most view on MTV. People like the fact that she’s dating men and women. It’s one …

This is regarded as a classic episode, and that regard is well warranted. The episode does everything just about perfectly. It builds up tension and suspense, gives the characters a unique adversary, and allows the characters to really shine as they are pushed to the edge by …

Comediennes Jo Brand, and the lesser known Jo Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine bring us a satirical look at the day to day workings of a modern NHS hospital.
