Mercy is a new hospital drama on NBC on Wednesday nights at 8. I started watching it from the pilot, expecting a half decent medical show. I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are very appealing, the medicine is realistic, and the plotline is dynamic enough to …

Sea Hunt’s third season saw an episode called Cross Current as it’s 19th outing. Airing in May 1960, this show had some very interesting movements in the water, with Mike Nelson drifting and being turned and tossed. We’ve seen some of this before, but I love the …

As I mentioned a short time ago in another review, I don’t normally watch the show ICarly. But, my daughter was watching something else on one of our Nick stations and, because I never changed the channel, it was on while I was doing something else.
The episode I ended …

I first loved watching this show because first, the judges are simply crazy, funny, and amazing! Second, there are really lots of talented contestants out there, plus we all get to watch crazy bonuses in which other “contestants” really think they are Mariah Carey or Celine Dion, maybe in …

Star Trek: That Which Survives is one of the shows that gave me an eerie feeling as a young child. It’s the “I am for you” concept that comes from the lead guest star. A touch kills, and as a youngster, that freaked me out. I …

“If Frank Burns could see you now.”
The line is spoken about midway through the season seven opener, M*A*S*H: Commander Pierce. Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) says it to Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), who has been given command of the 4077th while Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) is temporarily away.
Now what’s …

CSI without the Gil Grissom character just isn’t CSI, but the show is still plugging along. It’s not that it’s bad, it just lacks the zip and zest that Grissom injected into the action. Still, the March 5, 2009 episode called “Turn, Turn, Turn” was intriguing and …

I watched a total of two Simpsons episodes last night and have to say the one entitled “Gone Maggie Gone” was a classic one.
A couple of things set up the plot of this episode. Marge stares at an eclipse and temporarily loses her eyesight. While she is unable to …

In my quest for a new tv show to watch I have come upon a new show that I like with one of the Belushi brothers in it. The show is witty and a bit flaky but always has a nice ending with some sort of emotional twist or …

From 1978, The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast honors Frank Sinatra. Once again, it was filmed in Las Vegas. In this lengthy roast, I would have liked to have a few others I associate with Sinatra present, but as often happened, there was a slew of NBC-dictated comics …

William Katt became the murder victim in Diagnosis Murder: Flashdance with Death from season one. He’s co-owner of a dance studio, and he wants to sell; his partner doesn’t. It’s a classic reason for murder.
This episode has some good talent for its day. In addition to …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Episode in Laredo is the second episode of the third season for this western series and it’s pretty darn melancholy. It’s different in its outlook, but I found myself wondering why I was even watching it.
Basically, Paladin ends up killing Sid Kovac (Alan …

I would like to think that most people today have come to realize something about life. That no matter where you go to college, you’re not always guaranteed success in life. Just because you go to Harvard or Princeton, you’re always going to get the highest paying jobs or …

Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn Rustic Italian Recipes began with the approachable cook talking about gay pesto, as in fun food and good pesto and pasta to eat. I so often learn from Quinn, and that continues to fascinate me. This first segment was focused on …

I have to say that this was one of the best episodes on the show. This was an excellent plot and really good writing. I kept guessing to the very end and did not know what to suspect. It was absolutely brilliant. I like it when the episode focus …

This television show is great. It is all about decluttering and rearranging, in order to make your house more useable.
In each episode, a couple or family is featured. They have a room or possibly two rroms that are completely useless, mostly because of clutter. In Clean Seep, the Clean …

True MASH fans will remember Harry Morgan’s (who later played Col. Potter) first appearance on MASH. In the season 3 opener, he played General Steele, a general who was completely insane and tries to get Trapper and Hawkeye charged with mutiny, among other things. I absolutely love this episode.
Season …

In season 4 of Stargate SG-1, there was an episode called 2010 that I just didn’t like very much, reason being everyone was just so depressed with their lives. Season five gives us the precursor to that episode, though, and it’s called 2001. It’s far better and …

Formerly called the Sci-fi channel, this TV channel really has gone down hill. They show a few good programs, but they repeat them over and over and over…..and over. Their new programs are not as good as the old ones, either. One of the shows, a BSG …

This cartoon, A Christmas Tree, is actually a translated title of a Russian cartoon made in 1959. It actually amazed me, considering the time in which it was made. I found it to be a warm, loving film about a young boy whose father was working in …

Coming off the heels of the wonderful City of Roses episode, Firewall continues to add excellence in entertainment for the Jeremiah science fiction series. One of the good things about this series, which Luke Perry both stars in and acts as the executive producer of, is that we …

The American Idol - Week 1 Results Show had some nice moments in it, along with a few things that just aren’t my style. On the latter side was a performance by Kanye West. I just don’t like the guy. He has a prima dona attitude …

I wasn’t really sure what Confessions of …

The 35th episode of Have Gun - Will Travel’s fourth season, The Cure was an intriguing episode that I got a kick out of it. From time to time over its six total years on the air, this western would include a real life character or two, perhaps …

Boston Legal stars James Spader and William Shatner
This show could have easily been another dull lawyer show but these two actors and the weekly introduction of weird characters make this a comedy hit. I remember The Practice and seeing James Spader introduced to that cast list. …

Criminal Minds Season3 Epiode6- About Face
Yet another chilling episode. This one actually made me feel extra uncomfortable, because the criminal in this case was much similar to many people I actually know in the real life, even reminds me of an ex boyfriend. I don’t mean in terms of …

In this episode we get to see Chuck as a normal person who is not really good at his new SPY job. Although he tries really hard he manages to mess up things. I guess that’s the way most of us would behave if we were in his place. …

The fifth season of MacGyver began with another change to the opening theme. I really miss some of the original clips, but they had to update it for the times, I suppose. The mullet is in full tilt, too. I really was never a fan of …

There are quite a few episodes whereby we see the Friends cast imitating Chandler Bing. He is one of the most weird and quirkiest of Friends’ cast character yet, and he is so charmingly sweet. And also the fact that Monica always is wanting to give him ‘face’ …
