TV Reviews
The Virginian: Dangerous Road TV Show
The Virginian: Dangerous Road was interesting to me mostly because the main guest star was Robert Pine. Pine became a household name to me when the TV series, CHiPs aired on television. The funny thing is that I didn’t even recognize him. I’d never seen him …
Columbo: Troubled Waters TV Show
Columbo: Troubled Waters is an okay outing from the fourth year of the Columbo series. It’s amusing to a degree in that Lieutenant Columbo (Peter Falk) and his wife are on a cruise together, but we never see the Mrs. at all. He’s talking to her a …
Psych s03e10
As every other Psych episode this one starts with a past memory of Shawn and his Dad from 1987. Little Shawn and Gus were on a school trip and Shawn was determined to visit Aquaworld and ride a dolphin. Of course, Shawn dad catches them and stops them in …
Gilmore Girls TV Show
I have been watching Gilmore Girls for awhile now, and I really have to say I love it!
I love the quirkyness of the show, and the acting is wonderful in my oppinion!
Lorelai (Lauren Graham), is usually the one to bring the hilarious sarcastic comments that I think make …
Law & Order SVU: Spooked.
OK, last night’s SVU episode, Spooked, was one of the most predictable episodes I’ve seen.
First, you have the rape/murder of two people in an alley that turns out to be drug related because the woman was smuggling drugs in her breast implants (ouch, but I guess that is a …
Alias Smith and Jones: Exit from Wickenburg
Alias Smith and Jones: Exit from Wickenburg is a fun entry for the second regular episode of this western starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy as outlaws Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry. In this show, they become saloon managers after catching cheats in a card game. Susan …

Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother
I must admit that Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother isn’t one of my favorite episodes of the series. It begins with Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) having a lot of close calls. He survives them all, but realizes that it’s actually intentional. There’s …

As I stated before C is a new television …
Ghost Hunters: Garden State Ghosts
Whenever the TAPS team ends up in New Jersey, it is almost always going to be a disappointment. The cases in the Garden State Ghosts episode weren’t much different.
They visited two places, an old mill and the proprietary house that once housed a royal governor. The highlight of both …
That Girl: Old Man’s Darling

Mr. Monk is at Your Service
Today was the first time I’ve seen the Monk episode “Mr. Monk is at Your Service” and thought it was one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen recently.
This episode has Monk going undercover as a butler (or as he refers to it, a house manager) because Natalie suspects the …
Palmolive Natural Commercial
Palmolive Natural Intensive Conditioner’s TV commercial is not really realistic. Though I would believe that they made a formula that might actually make the hair softer and it “might” last up to 48 hours, the commercial ads they made was really far from reality. This is a very clear …
Adam-12: The Tip
For me, one of the things that stands out about Adam-12: The Tip is that Chuck Courtney has an uncredited part as bad guy, Russell Simms. I’m not sure why he didn’t make the end theme credits, but for some reason, Adam-12 had a habit of not crediting …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Hobson’s Choice TV Show
Hobson’s Choice was an episode of Have Gun - Will Travel that aired towards the end of the fifth season, in April 1962. It was oddly entertaining, and I say that it was odd because it uses a very well known real life person and then proceeds to …
Ghost Hunters Season 3, Part 2 DVD
Ghost Hunters is one of my favorite shows on television, and I gladly grab the different sets when they are released. That said, there are a few major problems with this set.
1-The transfer onto DVD isn’t the best. It actually looks worse here than it does on television, …
The Twilight Zone: The Four of Us Are Dying TV Show
Quite honestly, The Twilight Zone: The Four of Us Are Dying isn’t one of the shows that I really want to watch. It’s packed with talent, but the plot just doesn’t go over with me. It’s about a man with the ability to change his appearance on …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.15: Desert Cantos
“Desert Cantos” isn’t as bad as “Alpine Fields” or “Earthlings Welcome Here” but it isn’t as good as say “The Good Wound”, it is a rather ‘tame’ follow-up to that latter episode though. Following the destruction of the covert factory in the middle of nowhere, a company funeral is …
Jericho (tv show)
Maybe its just me, but this fall season a new show called Jericho is on prime time television and I have attempted to watch the show three times now and I have not a clue what the main idea is. I get the idea that the town has …
Raising Hope: Pilot TV Show
The comedy program Raising Hope aired its pilot episode in mid September. To be honest, I don’t like today’s comedies, but I thought maybe I should give a few a chance and thus I tuned in to this disaster.
The first scene with the lawn work and pool maintenance …
That Girl - Season Five DVD set
The That Girl - Season Five DVD set is a nice conclusion to the series. With it, each and every That Girl episode has been placed on DVD and available for fans to view anytime they wish. As a fan, I like that. I plan on …
The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive TV Show
While there is drama in The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive, it’s the fun element that I enjoy. This is a playful, endearing, happy ever after type of story, and that’s just my style.
J. Pat O’Malley is absolutely perfect casting for Old Ben, an elderly gentlemen who loves to …
Hawaii Five-O: By the Numbers

Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-16-10 TV Show
Well, Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 16, 2010 began with yet another attempt by Alexis to be a fashion plate. How is she supposed to be relatable if she is trying to look like a Fashion Week model? This is especially hard when her hairdos …
Super girl, Survivors, season 2, episode 4, TV Show
I have never thought I would write a review on a TV show Supergirl because it used to be a show I was watching just because I like superhero TV shows and movies but it never made me feel strong about it or about any issues that it was dealing …

The Simpsons: The Frying Game
OK, I’ll admit the Simpsons episode The Frying Game was both interesting and funny.

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Loose Larry’s List of Losers TV Show

M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice
There are a few notable things about M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice from the fourth season of the medical comedy series. First, it’s just the fun of watching Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) trying to work some magic and get Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) tomato juice for breakfast …
Naruto Episode 6 Subbed
After a little bit more comedy at Naruto’s expense, episode 6 finally provides what all the previous episodes have been pointing towards: real, dangerous, action.

Civil Wars: Daveja-Vu All Over Again TV Show

The Fall Guy: Scavenger Hunt TV Show

American Idol
I was wondering, as many others do, about how can Simon, Randy and Paula audition all of those huge crowds gathering up in every city the popular show is auditioning. It is just not possible for that to actually happen. Simple math says 10000 people auditioning in one city …

Judge Judy (American Court show)
