Drama, action, mystery. Pretty Little Liars has everything you would want in a in an hour long show. I’ve found this series abosolutely addicting and am so excited for the premier of the second season this January 3rd. Watch just part of one episode and you’ll see why. Not …
Home Improvement: Young at Heart
It’s good working half days for a week because I get to see some shows I might not get a chance to see when I’m working all day (too bad that starts next week). One of the shows, Home Improvement, is one I’ve missed a bit.

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Dead Man TV Show

The League of Gentlemen - Series Three
The League of Gentlemen may have quickly established itself as a sketch show with a difference, but with the third series comes an even more original, ingenious approach.
While the first two series’ may have impressed with its over reaching story arcs and ever developing characters, this third and …
Star Trek: The Infinite Vulcan TV Show
Written by Walter Koenig, Star Trek: The Infinite Vulcan was one of the animated Saturday morning outings produced in 1973. Oddly, Koenig’s character of Mr. Chekov is not part of the series, nor is his character part of this story, either.
In this particular story, Mr. Spock is unexpectedly …
Cold Case TV Show
If you love Law and Order, you will love this show: Cold Case. It is not about lawyers, but it follows the same idea of trying to put the pieces together to solve a crime. It even comes on TNT where Law and Order reruns play.

The X-Files Duane Barry Episode
This was the twenty ninth episode of the entire popular 1990s American television show “The X-Files”. It was also the fifth episode of the second season in the series. I think I would put this episode in my top thirty episodes of the entire series since I thought …
Memories of M*A*S*H
Hosted by Shelley Long, Memories of M*A*S*H from 1991 is a look back at this long running dramedy; that is, a situation comedy that was as much drama as it ever was comedy. The show lasted for 11 seasons before voluntarily leaving the airwaves, so there is a …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Real Me
Well, it took 5 seasons but Buffy the Vampire Slayer finally has a sister (I say that because most shows try to mix things up a bit by adding another character through a pregnancy; usually a sibling). But, the interesting thing about the episode “Real Me” is the sister …

Sleepy Hollow TV Show Episode Two: Blood Moon
After watching the first episode of the new Sleepy Hollow series, I’ve decided that I will become a regular viewer. I literally had a week to dwell and think on the previous episode I watched and kind of connect some minor pieces. To be honest and to the …
Cowboy Bebop episode 16
Nothing happens the way we plan it to, for if it did, it would be an extension of blasphemy as there would be no human element. As it is said, To error is to be Human, To Forgive divine. In the case of Jet Black, sometimes you will see …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Fandango TV Show
I just love the title of this fourth season episode of Have Gun - Will Travel. It’s called Fandango, which in this case means tomfoolery. It intrigued me from the start.
Leonid Kinskey has a bit part as Yevgeny. He was playing chess with Paladin in San …
Ghost Hunters: Fort Delaware
I ended up watching one more rerun of the show Ghost Hunters last night; “Fort Delaware” and have to admit that was pretty cool.

30 Rock: Jack the Writer
After four episodes of 30 Rock I am beginning to get the feeling that the writers of the show don’t know exactly where they want to go with it. Jack, the boss, is the prime example of this to me. His character seems to have changed nearly every episode.
Still, …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Enter the Outsiders
I was never a big Wildcat fan. I don’t know why, he just never really appealed to me. He takes the main stage here as he, along with Batman do battle with a group of rebel teens who have dubbed themselves “the Outsiders”. Fans of Batman …
Bones TV Episode: The Skull in the Desert
I am finally able to get the first season of Bones on our Netflix player and have been watching some of the episodes I haven’t had a chance to watch before. One of those episodes was the season 1 episode The Skull in the Desert.
I’ve seen parts of this …
Smallville 8.17 Hex
This season has been a real return to form. This episode was no exception. The addition of Zatanna is always a nice thing and Serinda Swan played the part quite well.

Christmas Comes But Once a Year cartoon
From Max Fleischer, Christmas Comes But Once a Year starts out so delightfully. As the name indicates, this old cartoon is one of a holiday nature. In fact, it begins at an orphanage, with a dog licking away a little girl. Then all of the young …
Adam-12: Log 125: A Safe Job
In April 1971, the final episode of the third season of Adam-12, a half-hour crime drama, was aired. The show was entitled Log 125: A Safe Job. It’s a fairly decent show to end a year on. It’s not a big favorite, but it is an …
Cougar Town show
Cougar Town is a new show on ABC. When I first heard about this show I was iffy about it, even though the main character is Courtney Cox. I thought it was an interesting concept, different, but I didn’t tune in until a friend pointed out how great it …
Wagon Train: The Ben Engel Story
Happy days are here again. Robert Fuller is back, sort of. You have to pay attention because while he’s back, he’s not always back. In fact, his back isn’t his back at all. It’s his stand-in’s. Still, he’s part of this story as much …
Hot in Cleveland: A TV Comedy Series
Betty White is my all-time favorite comedy actress. She was my favorite in The Golden Years. She brings this excellent comedic timing in Hot in Cleveland.
The storyline is simple enough —“ three women from Los Angeles whose careers in the entertainment industry are in their twilight years are marooned …
1000 Ways to Die
Not a lot of things make me paranoid, but the television show “1000 Ways to Die” might be number one on the top of that small list. Not a lot of people seem to know about that show either, as unlike some shows this one is not promoted as …
Bravo’s The Better Half
Bravo has been my favorite television channel since the first season of Project Runway. This great channel has given us shows like Project Runway where contestants try to become the best fashion designer or The Top Chef, where contestants vie for the coveted title of Top Chef. The shows …

The Complete ‘Yes Minister’ Boxed Set (DVD 2004)
It is really hard to believe that this series was first broadcast on British TV about 30 years ago because the topics covered are as relevant now as they were then.
A comedy series but as they say - many a true word spoken in jest - and in the …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: On the Orient, North TV Show
