We have been watching episodes of the 1980s series Faerie Tale Theater with our daughter. One of the episodes we watched was Rumpelstiltskin, a book I have read to my daughter but she didn’t remember.
The episode wasn’t too bad. You have Ned Beatty playing the king who insists that …

In this episode, there is something wrong with Dr. Murdoch and Merrill is the only person who is will to find out.
The episode begins with Merrill and Dr. Murdoch in a conference about a fictional story she wrote and all of a sudden he starts hearing things and starts …

Monk - The Complete Third Season features more drama than any of the other seasons, and boy does it work well. Four episodes in particular are emotionally powerful: Mr. Monk Takes Manhattan, Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine, Mr. Monk vs. the Cobra, and Mr. Monk and the Kid. This …

This is a cute idea and a neat way to tell a story that wouldn’t work with the current storyline. It’s like someone had an idea for the Brisco character, but wanted it set in an earlier timeline of the series. To make that work, they added …

The 38th episode of Sea Hunt’s third season was another one of these political intrigue shows that I really don’t like very much. I so prefer the almost non-existent ocean life shows or even the episodes focused on technological advances over these small fabricated country tales. The …

The Hungama is a kid’s channel where they telecast the cartoon show or serial called Doreman. The Doreman is a very interesting, entertaining and funny cartoon serial which my children love to watch. In this cartoon serial there is a robot future cat, and his friend Nobitha …

From 1970, The Young Rebels: Suicide Squad continues the events of the Revolutionary War. It was one of my favorite shows during that TV season, and I was so glad to be able to see so many of these shows again recently.
This episode is fun because Jeremy and …

From July 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device is actually a pretty interesting story, though there are elements that I’m not as fond of. What happens is that two men, disheveled and obviously down on their luck, are traveling along a desert highway …

Now as the residue left from the previous battle settles inside Shinji Ikari’s mind, the memories of the past co-aligns itself with the simple truth that holds true to the very end. Shinji awakes in an hospital bed with no memory of his battle with the angel from the …

I really love crime stories, and this one focuses on the fact that detectives have no more than 48 hours to get the best clues in the most difficult homicide cases. I had trouble believing at first that this many crimes actually get solved. It seems …

Ed Marinaro had the title guest starring role in 1987’s Private Eye: Nickey the Rose. He’s a mobster type of guy from circa 1956, living high and with a high profile lady on his arm. That would be Rita Marlowe, as played by Susan Blakely. She’s a …

Alex Haley’s Queen was my first exposure to any of Alex Haley’s work. The mini-series appeared on television in the early 90s, and even though Halle Berry had been a working actress prior to landing the leading role in the mini-series, I think it was her first breakout role …

I am really a big Charmed fan. It is among the TV shows which runs for quite a number of years. And it is the only TV show which I’ve always watched and never missed any episode, not a single one. In the first few seasons, Shannon Doherty played …

The Time Machine is the eight episode of the Upright Citizens Brigade’s first season, and this is an episode that really highlights some of the best aspects of the show. Unique ideas drawn to absurdity (for example the whole “hole in the sheet” thing), hilarious sketches and all …

Code Geass Episode 4 has Lelouch trying to stop the false trial of Suzaku who is innocent but the Brittanians have already decided he’s guilty.
This was a great episode as it finally got the main plot rolling and introduces us to Lelouch’s alter ego Zero, a persona he uses …

I guess every show sooner or later has to have an episode about escaped prisoners so the time for this show to present such an episode has arrived. Although the title of the show was The Fire Last Time I will remember it under another title, The Episode That …

The fifth episode called “The One with the East German Laundry Detergent” was really a funny one. In this episode Ross is try to getting closer with Rachel, and lots of funny things starts from there. Ross pretended that he had some rat problem in his bathroom, so he …

As the series winds down, That Girl gave us one last typical episode in the name of Two for the Money. In the story, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) is on a modeling assignment at the racetrack. We get to see her doing all kinds of poses and …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Blind Circle is a bit different in ways. The story revolves around a man named Hughes, played by Gerald Gordon who I remember mostly from a stint on General Hospital, hiring Paladin (Richard Boone) to stop a man from killing someone. Gordon …

The Ghostbusters find themselves bored as there hasn’t been any business for three weeks. It’s kind of weird how one episode has them exhausted from too much work, and then the next episode, they’re upset that there aren’t any new clients. I guess it’s the nature of …

Stargate SG-1: The Powers That Be continues the forced journey into Vala land, a place I really don’t want to go. The only good thing is that she’s dressed in BDUs, thereby finally covering the part of her body that she so unmercifully thrusts upon viewers way too …

Synopsis: While reluctantly helping country music star Lurleen Lumpkin get back on her feet, Marge discovers Lurleen’s dad abandoned her and seeks to reunite her with her father. Unfortunately, the dad turns out to be even more of a deadbeat than they imagined and he steals one of her …

When I first considered watching this TV series I was pretty much reluctant since I don’t care for criminal TV shows involving police stories catching serial killers and all the other criteria.
Imagine my shock when I became addicted to a new kind of criminal, a funny and gothic like …

Watching Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season One now is a fairly different experience than watching it when the season first aired years ago. I actually remember when the show first started because my parents were big fans of the original Law and Order and I actually watched Special …

I was really excited to watch the spin off reality show of The Hills on MTV called The City. The City is a show based in New York City that features Whitney Port in her big move from L.A. to the fashion mecca working in the DVF fashion …

I love anything to do with the Batman universe. When I heard that a new tv show, Gotham, was in the works I was really excited, especially because it was to show the origins of many of the exciting characters in the Batman universe. In fact, the main character of …

Last night’s episode of House is everything that has gone wrong with the show over the years. They had an interesting case involving a teenager who had something happen to her the night before but nobody knows what because she can’t tell the truth about what happened. Yet, even …

I love watching Way Too Early. It’s a TV show that comes on on MSNBC. It comes on at 5:30 am. I very rarely am able to catch it when it initially comes on due to the fact that it comes onb so early. I …

Diagnosis Murder: 35 Millimeter Murder starts off interestingly enough with Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) receiving the wrong set of photos that he’d just had developed. This is a great way to start a story. It’s very easy to identify with as I’ll bet it’s happened to …

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? 10th Anniversary Special - Night Eleven was perhaps my favorite night of the eleven night special run of the iconic show. There are a few reasons why I consider this to be one of the anniversary’s best shows. First of all, I would …

Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 3- Or Just Look Like One
I really didn’t understand this episode. I think they might have had a message, but I’m not quite sure what he was. Was it that fame was not worth it? Or was it advocating …

Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 16 is a good episode, not to be missed. I watched it with a very curious interest and there are lots of character developments in this episode. I love the dinner scene whereby Orson and Bree and Tom and Lynette have dinner together …

Man, why does so many episodes take place in Florida? I’m beginning to wonder about the sanity of the state. This was a good episode though. The team was being invited to do interviews with a couple on death row. The husband had kidnapped and killed blond girls. His …

Alias Smith and Jones: Stagecoach Seven is one of my favorite episodes for this hit ABC western series. One of the reasons for that is that Randolph Mantooth (Johnny Gage on Emergency!) guest stars as Dan Loomis. Actually, the cast is really very good in this show …

When I first saw the description of Detective Conan, a kid who solved cases, I wasn’t too keen on watching it. But then I thought that I might as well check it out. When I finally saw it, I realized that it was a High Schooler who turned into …

The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and Opie, Housekeepers is another comical outing that is highly entertaining. This is what television comedy should be. It’s suitable for the entire family and it’s full of genuine laughs.
–This is the first show that includes actress Hope Summers who becomes a …

Another 7-Parter in the 8th Season of Doctor Who and another wonderfully scripted episode.
Tensions between the Doctor and UNIT are growing as the Doctor is still bitter at UNIT’s apparent genocide of the Silurians in the previous serial.
Despite the great story, this did terrible in the ratings as the …

Much as I don’t like Jaffa-centered stories, I’m also not fond of the Abydonian storylines on this series either. Stargate SG-1: Secrets, however, is a story that takes place in good part on Abydos. It’s been one Abydonian year to the day that Daniel left the planet …

The Andy Griffith Show: Andy’s Vacation, a season four show that aired in March 1964, has some humorous elements to it, but it is also one of those plots that I am not really crazy about. I suppose it is because I am not big on the plots …

I think Desperate Housewives: The One Where Gabrielle and Carlos Kill Accidentally Gabrielle’s husband on the boat is on one of the episodes of Season 4. But I know it’s the earlier episodes, perhaps 7 or 8.
Gabrielle’s husband, the politician is very suspicious of Gabrielle and this …

This isn’t my favorite talk show. Ellen is my favorite talk show. Although I do like to watch Tyra from time to time. I really like some of the shows she does. I think she picks unique topics to do and has an enjoyable talk show to watch. I …

The incomparable Betty Davis stars in The Virginian: The Accomplice. Davis was one of those movie stars who didn’t appear to have qualms about television. If she did, something compelled her to do these shows as she was in a bunch of TV series from the beginning …

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 episode that showed …

A bunch of folks on a message board I’ve been occasionally have all said that the Star Crossed episode of The Virginian was a really good show and may, in fact, be the best one that featured Clu Gulager as Emmett Ryker. That’s why when it came available …

Cowboy Bebop Episode 15 has Jet, Faye, and Spike going after a con man named Whitney Hagas Matsumoto, a man Faye knew and we learn about her past.
This was a great episode because it gave Faye Valentine a back-story and revealed more about her, and why she has a …
