Has anyone seen the Sinutab commercial? I’ve been bothered by it ever since I saw it on TV. In case you guys haven’t seen it yet. The model, should I call her model? Whatever - has a clogged nose caused by sinusitis, next frame, a pressure cooker with …

Well, the first season of this new show was remarkably short lived - only 5 episodes, including the pilot - but it seems to be off to a good start. Chronicling the lives of 7 friends, 3 couples and Brian, this show explores some of the intricacies of …

Super Mario World - “Gopher Bash” is episode nine of the series and finally is an episode that focuses on Luigi. Instead of Mario trying to make life easier for the cave people, Luigi is now taking a stab at it by trying to teach them how to grow …

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 …

The Twilight Zone: The Howling Man is a show I just can’t stand and never could. I watch it as little as possible, in fact. To put it simply, I don’t like this one at all. It’s one of the episodes of this science fiction series …

Tony Carpenter - played by Dennis Waterman is a self-made millionaire who has risen from humble origins in the East End of London and despite now …

MacGyver: Hellfire is another episode that I really enjoy. There are only four characters in it, five if you want to include the helicopter pilot who flies Mac to the remote location where his friends are. As a result, it ends up being a show that is …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Hunt the Man Down deals with a range war that pits brother against brother. Range wars are a common plot in westerns and in its first two seasons, this thirty-minute western has done several shows with that them. Richard Boone stars as …

Judicial Indiscretion is a very nice suspenseful made-for-TV movie that I enjoy watching quite a bit. It was made for the Lifetime channel. The movie opens innocently enough with Judge Monica Barrett being told by a friend that her name as been thrown in the hat as …

I love to watch John and Kate Plus 8 on TLC. I couldn’t imagine having 8 kids; sextuplets and twins. I think their kids are the cutest things ever. They do a pretty good job parenting; I couldn’t imagine having to deal with all that drama all the time …

This was a very good episode. I was a bit uneasy with the episode. I don’t know if it was some part of the story, or one of the characters that made me feel that way. But it could be just the sight of spilled guts on the road …

Back in 2003, Whoopi Goldberg starred in a TV show for the NBC network. It was, naturally, a situation comedy. Now I’m not all that fond of modern sitcoms because the humor is too provocative for my tastes. I wanted to watch this, though, because I …

Hawaii Five-O: Tiger by the Tail begins with a young singer performing in a nightclub. Then he gets kidnapped right after the show. The execution of this scene was pretty lame, even for the era. It’s not the plot; it’s just how it was directed …

From October 1962, The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and the New Mayor was a riot. It’s a very good show that is definitely worth watching.
The main guest star is Parley Baer. He joined the show as a recurring player, portraying Mayor Roy Stoner. Baer replaced Mayor …

Flip That House is a TLC show where people purchase houses, fix them up and then try to sell them for a sometimes huge profit. I think this is a very interesting show to watch. Its fun to see how much of a profit people can make off of …

I absolutely love House M.D. on Fox. House is one of the best shows on TV. I have watched every episode from the beginning and I have to say this show never gets old.
One of my favorite parts of the show is Dr. Gregory House’s attitude. He just …

Glee is a new TV show on it’s first season on Fox. There are really only a handful of shows on Fox that I enjoy and I try to avoid this network as much as possible because they have a tendency to cancel shows that I like, I’m hoping …

The first time I saw the children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba, I thought wow, a weird looking man wearing an orange wig and playing with dolls; how creepy is that. ‘ But, after giving it a chance, I have to say it isn’t a bad show.
Not that I watch …

In Stargate SG-1: Cure, we get more history of the Tok’ra. In fact, we meet their queen, who has been used as a laboratory rat of sorts for ages by the Pangorans, who claim ignorance once the discovery was made.
It becomes a bit of an ethical debate. The …

Consider The Ray Bradbury Theater: On the Orient, North, Bradbury’s version of Murder on the Orient Express, which is even referenced at the very beginning of the episode. It features Magali Noel as Minerva Halliday who offers to help someone described only as ‘the ghastly passenger’. Frankly, …

This episode acted as a nice follow up to the pilot. While the first episode had a fairly heavy plot, this one did …

I haven’t watched the Show American Dad in some time now and don’t remember a whole lot about each of the characters. But, there wasn’t much on TV last night so I figured I would take the time to watch Rapture’s Delight.
It was an OK episode, but I feel …

Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part II picks up where Part 1 left off, at a dramatic standoff at a railroad station. The problem is that the end of Part 1 was a little misleading. Now isn’t that unusual? About the only good part was …

In my opinion, The Blue Book is one of the most interesting series of at least the last 5 years. What are its principal merits?

Dramatic and scenic authenticity, no comic relief - you won’t find here any cardboard heroes, saving the world by clutching their fingers in the wings …

I gotta say from the start that I’m still not sure where the title comes from. Maybe I’ll get it from a second showing. Regardless, The Beast: Bitsy Big-Boy Boomeroo was an interesting show. It had many elements that I liked and a couple that I …

Well, the Special Victims Unit Episode “Persona” was a bit depressing last night, but really gets you thinking.
Basically, this was an episode about spousal rape and abuse and how the laws have changed recently. The show starts out with an abusive husband raping his wife (which leads to a …

In another review I wrote a few minutes ago, I had said that the human mind is a powerful thing. That’s not exactly earth shattering news, but it is something that The Twilight Zone exploits and uses in many of its stories. It’s never done more so …

MacGyver: Back from the Dead brings back a character from season two — Jimmy Kendall. At that point, Jimmy had turned on some mobsters and testified against them. For his protection, he was given a new identity and moved to Florida, where Mac got him a job …

I normally like old MASH re-runs but there is one I absolutely cannot stand; the one entitled “Hawkeye.”
If you’ve ever watched the show, there’s a good chance you’ve seen this episode. Hawkeye is driving back to the 4077th in a jeep and ends up getting in a wreck and …

Adam-12: Ambush is not just an excellent episode of this Jack Webb police drama, but it’s also remembered for being part of an episode of the Emergency! television series. Scenes from this show were shown in that program where paramedic Johnny Gage became obsessed with knowing how the …

I mentioned before how certain episodes raise the bar to the point where the subsequent episode feels like a step down. While the last episode managed to subvert that fate, this one falls into it. It’s not bad, not by a long shot. On the contrary, …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Perfect Female is a delightful show. First, this is a good time to mention that one of the changes from this comedy series’ premier season on TV and this second year is that Elinor Donahue, who had played Andy’s girlfriend Ellie Walker, left …

M*A*S*H* is one of my husband’s favorite TV shows, he is gathering a DVD collection of all the episodes. I often watch MASH with him, and although I don’t like Captain Pierce (hate womanizers), overall, I think it is quite a decent show. Most characters are well developed, and …

Laramie: Ladies Day continued to set up the ‘new’ Laramie. There was a desire to return the series to that family setup which it had had originally in season one. Because of the cast departures of Hoagy Carmichael and Robert Crawford Jr. in the second season, the …

Lisa Jane Persky gets a chance to shine in Private Eye: High Heels and Silver Wings from 1987. Persky was a regular on this detective drama that didn’t last more than a half-season, and her part was that of the wacky, daffy, wannabe starlet that is very stereotypical …

While not many people might have heard about or watched the television series Pushing Daisies, I can remember it from when it started airing on the cable television channel ABC in 2007. Back then although I was never lucky enough to catch a single episode of it, I had always …

I like watching Wife Swap because it gives me a look into other people’s homes! I admit it, I’m nosy! And Wife Swap allows me to peek into the living rooms of other Americans, PLUS I get to watch what happens when they let a total stranger …

Nevada vs. Rodgers was the latest hour of the new decent drama and disappointing comedy show, The Defenders. The good part for me is that they more or less left the comedy behind this week, and that was delightful. I’ve said from the beginning that this version …
