The actor that plays Mr. Hickcox, the business …

I only watched this show because my friend asked me to. I admit that it is rare for me to watch stuff like this but…This here, right here, Gravity Falls sure is good.
The animation for this cartoon is good and it really kept my eyes on screen since sometimes, there …

Boy, do I not like this show, Diagnosis Murder: My Baby Is Out of This World. In fact, in my view, it was a horrible way to end a TV season. I think they should have reversed this one with the one that aired before it, which …

From September 1959, Kelp Forest, a show from Sea Hunt’s second season, really didn’t do much for me, and the reason why is that there’s nothing new in this show, including the guest stars.
Here’s the thing. Actor Ted de Corsia has been in multiple episodes of Sea Hunt. …

It’s the guest stars who make Blacke’s Magic: Address Unknown work for me. They are an interesting collection of talent. Sam Groom, who has from time to time been confused with the more successful Sam Elliott, has a nice role here as Dale Richmond, friend of Alexander …

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 …

Confrontation after confrontation after confrontation. That is what the final episodes here seem to be all about and that is a very good thing. It makes up for some of the lackluster nonsense that exists in the middle of Season 2. Continuing where the last one left off, we …

Anyone who has kids (especially girls) is probably familiar with Dora the Explorer. And, it is definitely one of my daughter’s favorite programs.
When she first started watching Dora, I admit, I wasn�t that big of a fan of the show. The plots were a little too simplistic and very …

There was a time when teenaged girls were scolded for getting themselves “in trouble.” But for some reason now, people think it’s ok to showcase these young girls. Young black women have been raising kids at an early age for many years. There has always been …

This was one of the darker episodes of the series and considering that the show is based on a Stephen King novel, I think that’s saying a lot. The episode starts with Johnny and Bruce driving down the road and listening to the radio. A local shock jock is …

I saw a Spongebob Squarepants episode yesterday I haven’t seen in a while “The Strangler” and found it to be as funny as I remembered it being.
If you haven’t seen this show and wonder why it is so popular, I suggest watching this episode. Spongebob turns in an infamous …

Star Trek returned to television as in animated series in 1973 and included most of the original stars voicing their characters. It really does feel like Kirk et al are out there exploring. Star Trek: Yesteryear is the second episode and was quite wonderful overall to watch.
This …

Dr. Phil Show
I must warn you, this show is truly addictive. It might solve your problems, but it might turn you into a hopeless couch potato who prefers to sit down all day and solve life’s problems instead of causing the usual trouble.
In this show Dr. Philip McGraw is …

Cowboy Bebop Episode 12 begins with Faye Valentine taking all Spike’s, Jet’s, and Ed’s money and taking off. Jet decides to go look for Faye while Spike decides to go look for someone named Julia.

“Business Trip,” is the eighth episode of The Office on NBC. It is a great episode that finally reunites Pam and Jim in Scranton after Pam’s extended stay in New York to study art. However, the real stars of the show are Michael, Andy and Oscar who …

In January 1960, Lloyd Bridges’ hit series, Sea Hunt, began its third season on the air with an episode entitled Asylum. My first thought was ‘oh, no - another spy show’. However, this one was very watchable. The show begins with Mike Nelson (Bridges) in Nassau …

Checkmate: Terror in the East is the fourteenth episode of this series about a private detective agency. The story opens in the Middle East, and I was leery from the get go. I normally don’t like Asian focused plots. Ultimately, Chinatown is involved.
Early on, though, I …

The Little King - Christmas Night is a vintage cartoon presented by SoGlow. I actually watched several holiday comics from the golden age today, and this was probably not only the most simplistic of the bunch but my least favorite.
The story revolves around a king who seems a …

Sea Hunt: Diving for the Moon aired on February 15, 1959, and I mention the year specifically because the show dealt with the training of four men who are in the astronaut program. The show actually opens with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing his narration about how …

Rudolph’s Shiny New Year is another classic Rankin and Bass animated production. It’s the sequel to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and it does include the traditional song that we all know and love. This story actually continues later that night, after Santa has returned from delivering all …

It takes some convincing, but the King finally comes around to seeing the truth. …

For one of the few times that I can remember in this show, the opening of That Girl actually references something that happened in the show just prior to it. Ann Marie and Don Hollinger meet Harry Cook, played by William Schallert, at a party. He recollects …

A modern day Snow White and the 7 Dwarves, if Snow White was a blond who didn’t go to sleep and the Dwarves were reduced to 4 nerds, The Big Bang Theory is a show that is picking up a very strong fan base, based on the old theory …

This review is focusing solely on the programming offered by Comcast Cable in the Northern California region and particularly in Sacramento.
Since coming to Sacramento the last time, Comcast Cable has done very little to increase its channels offered. Let me explain that originally, we had Sacramento Cable. …

There are four woman who live together, along with the elderly Mother of one of them.
the ladies. Her name is Sophia.
She is a cranky old soul, always wanting to be independant, beyond her means and very abrasive the …

Voyagers!: Created Equal takes viewers back to the age of Spartacus, who is enslaved and forced to fight as a gladiator in the arena. This allows the hunky series star, Jon-Erik Hexum, to show off his physique in the arena as well. As an actor, Hexum still …

I definitely enjoy the Surviving the Cut. It educates the everyday viewer about the military elite and all that they have to do to get there. Well, not all because actually some of it is classified. The cameras frequently have to shut off to avoid showing …

MacGyver: The Ugly Duckling takes Mac back to visit an old professor, who is then killed. He ends up helping a teenage computer geek who has successfully hacked into government systems. She eventually is kidnapped by weapons dealers who want her to do some hacking for them, …

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 …

I really enjoy this show, when I get a chance to see it. It is about a pizza delivery boy named Fry, who inadvertently gets frozen and wakes up several centuries into the future.
He gets a job working for his great-great-…-nephew as a delivery boy around the universe, and …

Synopsis: After seeing Spongebob receive a kiss from his grandmother before work, his friends begin picking on him and calling him a baby. As a result, he decides he wants to be more adult.
What I liked about this episode: I think the part where he tells his grandmother he …

There are not a lot of reality television shows that can be described as entertaining, educational, and informative. However, TLC’s “Property Ladder” which airs on Saturday mornings is one of them. “Property Ladder” documents the experiences of first time home flippers attempting to buy houses for low …

Street Hawk: The Arabian is episode 11 of this series and it all revolves around Rebel’s Choice, a horse with a heck of an insurance policy. The horse is, well, horse-napped. As an animal lover, I have to be honest and say I don’t like shows like …

This UK version of Undercover Boss was the first to feature a female executive that I know of. The U.S.A. version didn’t use a female in its first season at all. The woman in question was Marija Simovic, Chief Executive Officer for Harry Ramsden’s, said to be …

As a young child, I adored watching TV westerns. I definitely had my favorites and still do. No western for me is as great as Laramie, for example. That said, many westerns held my interest and curiosity, including Have Gun - Will Travel, a show that …

Star Trek: Journey to Babel is one of the legendary shows because it introduces us to Spock’s parents, Sarek and Amanda. Mark Lenard plays Sarek, a role he’d continue to play in the Star Trek movies as well as the spin off series, Star Trek: The Next Generation. …

The first time that I saw a glimpse of this show, I did not think that I would like it. I figured that this would be another one of those karaoke centered shows that had contestants filling in the lyrics to randomized popular songs. Although this show …

Highway Patrol: Released Convict is a nice little show that is relatively entertaining. It’s all about a parolee who finally decides to try and dig up a quarter of a million dollars that he’s had hidden since before his arrest. He’s been on the obedient side of …

After the flashback in the previous episode, the story continues where they have left off in episode 15. The prisoners’ plans for escape have been sabotaged by a replaced pipe at the nursery and now they are trying to put the alternative plan in motion. This one is a …

You know, I really don’t spend a great deal of time watching the Food Network on cable. But, after watching the show, Throw Down with Bobby Flay, I think I might find myself watching more often.
For those of you who haven’t seen the show, Flay is supposedly a famous …

John Doe: Idaho is probably my favorite episode of this science fiction show thus far. Actually, the plot device used here is pretty much an easy to guess one, but it’s nicely done and you really aren’t sure until the story progresses quite a bit. Logic tells you …

It’s yet another romance for Frank Buck in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Shadow Women of Chung Tai. I doubt the real Frank Buck had a girl popping out of the woodwork every other week. Bruce Boxleitner fans may like it, but I’ve never liked
the notion of …

“King of the Hill” is a show which has just recently started to air on the cable television channel Cartoon Network on a programme called “Adult Swim.” I knew of it before since I could remember it airing on a local television channel every Saturday evening a couple years …
