Adam-12: Extortion
The fourth season of Adam-12 got under way on September 15, 1971 with an episode called Extortion. It’s a good start for the police drama which starred Martin Milner and Kent McCord.

Scrubs TV Episode: My Jiggly Ball
My wife and I used to watch the show Scrubs when it first came on the air but got away from it for a while. However, we’ve been watching re-runs lately and I find myself wondering why we stopped watching this series.
One of the episodes I watched the other day …
Gilligan’s Island - Gilligan’s Living Doll TV Show
Here we have Gilligan being his usual self in this episode. He actually gets on my nerves a little bit through his playing around and causing minor but irritating problems. But he does come up with creative solutions to problems so he makes up for his pesky joking around …
A Man Called Hawk: If Memory Serves
A Man Called Hawk: If Memory Serves has an interesting premise, one I haven’t quite seen before, at least not in this type of presentation. The story revolves around Alex Chavin (Paul Butler), a Haitian man who remembers everything he hears and reads. It’s not a photographic …

Big Brother 12 - Week 1, Show 1 TV Show
I actually watched the very first episode of the original Big Brother in America. That first season was nothing like this show is today. For me, that’s a negative. I actually still find that first cast endearing, and I often wonder where they are today and how …

Laramie: Man from Kansas, a second season outing of this hit western, is definitely one of my all time favorite episodes of this awesome western that stars John Smith as Slim Sherman and Robert Fuller as Jess Harper. There is so much conflict and emotion in this hour …
Highway Patrol: Anti-Toxin TV Show
Highway Patrol: Anti-Toxin revolves around a very urgent theme. Of course, today it would be handled more expediently due to our technology, but when this show was produced, options were more limited. What happens is that a ten year old boy is in need of a rare …

Psych: You can’t Handle this Episode
Well, when the new episode of Psych came out and I heard it starred pro wrestler John Cena, I was definitely intrigued. I didn’t expect it to be a pretty decent episode.
This one is a bit sad to be honest, not only is Shawn’s girlfriend (who I just realized …
The Simpsons: Viva Ned Flanders
I had almost forgotten just how funny Ned Flanders can be until coming across the older Simpsons episode entitled “Viva Ned Flanders.”
This is actually one of the better episodes of this show ever made; mostly because it is able to lead to other story lines later.
You have Ned revealing …

That 70s Show: Sparks

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Veldt TV Show
Ray Bradbury writes a lot about humans becoming too caught up in technology. I’ve noticed that theme in several stories and it’s here in The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Veldt as well. This is all about relying too much on electronics and letting go of relationships and …
Australian Idol - Tv show

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Black Bull TV Show
The Black Bull is a name that tells me that I’m probably not going to like this episode; that is, if there’s a bull in it and some bullfighting story. As I began to watch, I just hoped it was metaphorical. The western show stars Richard Boone …

Sea Hunt: Point of No Return TV Show
Sea Hunt: Point of No Return , the opening show of the series’ fourth and final TV season which aired in January 1961, was a bit different. That was mostly a good thing. However, it was also a little confusing in a couple of spots.
The reason the …

M*A*S*H: Deal Me Out
Season two of this hit series has some really great episodes, many of which I count among my all time favorites, but M*A*S*H: Deal Me Out isn’t one of them. It’s a show I can take or leave, and I tend to leave it. Nothing really stands …

Burn Notice: Bad Breaks

A Capitol Fourth TV Show
