Shark show
Shark stars James Woods.
Any show with James Woods is okay with me. I truly feel that he is the country’s finest actor and can carry a show by himself. In this case he does, as the show is not special in any way. The writers need …
Adam-12 - Log 55: Missing Child
I have to admit that I don’t like the beginning this Adam-12 episode. It bothers me on many levels. As an animal lover, it’s unnerving and disturbing. It concerns an elderly woman (Alma Platt) who intentionally left her gas on in an attempt to euthanize her …
M*A*S*H: Love and Marriage
From season three, M*A*S*H: Love and Marriage isn’t one of my favorite episodes. While it has some good acting in it and some nice guest stars, the show just doesn’t really capture my interest as much as most of the other shows do.
One plot deals with Private Danny …
Dancing with the Stars - 9-22-09
As the three-night premier of this season’s Dancing with the Stars continued, it was the ladies who were center stage. There were two ‘wow’ performers for me, and both of them shocked me.
The first was Mya. Now, honestly, I don’t even know who she is. Apparently, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Bob Wire TV Show
The funny thing about the Bob Wire episode of Have Gun - Will Travel from season six is that I didn’t realize the title was the name of a character. I was thinking it was an object, like barbed wire. Alas, Bob Wire is the name of …
Thriller: The Incredible Doktor Markesan TV Show
From the second season of Thriller came this episode entitled The Incredible Doktor Markesan, featuring Bewitched’s Dick York as Fred Bancroft and Carolyn Kearney as his wife, Molly.

Chase: Above the Law TV Show
This episode of Chase was called Above the Law. The series stars Kelli Giddish as Annie Frost, who heads her own team of United States Marshals. The woman has issues, though, and those always seem to be simmering beneath the surface.
The hour chiefly revolves around a man, …
Gilligan’s Island - Good-Bye Island TV show
Now this episode is more of the good reputation I have come to know and love in the Gilligan’s Island series. The castaways are working together nicely as a team, they have great problem solving solutions and treat each other with respect. These are the excellent morals you would …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Saves Gomer TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Saves Gomer is a standout episode that lets Jim Nabors shine as the lovable Gomer Pyle.
The show opens with Andy and company getting a letter from Barney, who is in the big city with his cousin, Virgil. It’s interesting that in this fourth …
Red Shirt Logs - featurettes
When I first saw the name Red Shirt Logs as pertaining to the Star Trek franchise, I assumed these featurettes, of which there are four that I’ve seen, would deal with the many instances when minor characters wearing the red uniforms were killed. This reality has become well …
Kyle XY: In the Company of Men
I haven’t’ been watching Kyle XY long, and I had began to fear that this show was a teenage soap opera with a science fiction backdrop, and it may be, but this week at least was less that way. It was still mostly about relationships but there was less …

Akame ga Kill (animated series)
“Akame ga Kill” has become one of my new favourite Japanese animated series. Right now, it’s still in its early stages and has eighteen episodes, each lasting roughly 20 minutes. However, I believe that the action and suspense that surrounds each episode is enough to have many anime lovers get …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Place for Abel Hix TV Show
From October 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Place for Abel Hix was the fourth outing for this western’s sixth season on the air. It would also be its last. One of the things that was really a bummer for this sixth season is that there wasn’t …

The Fall Guy: Goin’ for It TV Show
The Fall Guy: Goin’ for It gives us a different type of opening for the adventure drama, and that’s probably a good thing. Changing up a format occasionally keeps viewers on the edge, not certain what to expect. Not only did they change what was usual, but …
The Simpsons: Midnight Towboy
I have to admit, I never saw last night’s Simpsons episode before, Midnight Towboy, but it was definitely one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen lately; especially when it comes to some of the newer episodes that have aired recently.

The Surreal Life (VH1 TV show)

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Complete Second Season

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Faith, Hope & Trick

Two And A Half Men: The Flavin’ And The Mavin’
“The Flavin’ And The Mavin’” was a decent episode of the CBS sit-com Two And A Half Men, although the one-liners were not as clever as they usually are, and the ending of the episode was not going to be a surprise to anyone. I will give you …

Around the World in Two Days

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Sitcom Series)

The Last Man on Earth, TV show
When I heard the name, without knowing anything else about it, I thought this show was gonna be a bit like “I Am Legend,” full of drama, action, the end of the world, and just one man in a planet full of zombies. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It’s actually the …
