Star Trek: The Next Generation - Descent, Part Two
The only reason I prefer Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Descent”, Part Two over part one is mainly because part two has more action. The story still makes very little sense, but at least there is some action to the story. The action I am referring to takes …

Thriller: The Prisoner in the Mirror TV Show

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Dead Run
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Dead Run is another standard; no, make that, below average outing of an adventure series that just has never found its core. With Bruce Boxleitner starring as Frank Buck, big game hunter and adventure seeker, the show just doesn’t know what it wants to …

Life Beyond Trek: Walter Koenig featurette
In December 2003, Walter Koenig sat down and talked a bit about the influence of Star Trek in Life Beyond Trek: Walter Koenig. At first, I thought his was going to be very different than the intimate expose that Leonard Nimoy had done. That’s because the first …
The Closer 6.1 “Make Over”
Over the last couple of years, I’ve watched The Closer somewhat irregularly, whenever I would accidentally catch it on TV. I’ve seen some better and worse episodes, and I’ve overall enjoyed the focus of the show, away from the forensic stuff and on the honest-to-goodness old school detective work …

Star Trek: Spectre of the Gun TV Show
From 1968, Star Trek: Spectre of the Gun is a show I really do love. It’s a take on the events of the O.K. Corral with Wyatt Earp. Of course, it’s based more on the myth of what happened than the reality, but it’s still legend and …

Fireball XL5: Space Immigrants
From 1962, Gerry Anderson’s Fireball XL5: Space Immigrants is a mixture of ‘rah, women’s lib’ and ‘oops, she can’t do it without her man’. Okay, that’s not the plot, but it’s how the plot made me feel. The adorable, sexy space doctor of medicine, Doctor Venus, is …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Valerie Harper TV Show

The core …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Merchant of Mayberry TV Show
