Have Gun - Will Travel: The Gold Bar TV Show
Directed by Ida Lupino, who actually orchestrated many episodes of this western series, the fourth season episode of Have Gun - Will Travel was a semi-comical outing called The Gold Bar. I actually enjoyed this little twist of a tale that wasn’t exactly what was expected. We …
Paternity
OK, I�ll admit, I only tuned in this week because the car crash promo had me interested. Who gets seriously hurt; Olivia or Elliott�s pregnant wife?
Overall though, I thought this episode was weak at best. You had a debate about whether a child should know if his father isn�t …
You Deserve This House, TV program
A one-hour show presented by Ms. Amanda Lamb was a great change from other various reality shows dominating the TV landscape today.
What I liked about the show was its format. It was pretty straightforward. There were no contentious flare-ups and me-against-the-world drama between participants that seemed customary in almost all …
M*A*S*H: Movie Tonight
From the fifth season, M*A*S*H: Movie Tonight is a really enjoyable outing for this comedy television series. It’s fun and lively, and I’ve always enjoyed it. Most of the episode centers around a long-awaited movie night. The picture is one that Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) …
The Simpsons: The Wife Aquatic
I finally got to see the entire Simpsons episode The Wife Aquatic last night. And, overall, I feel I wasn’t very impressed with it.
The plot of this episode started out promising. Marge wants to go to an island that presented plenty of childhood memories. But, when they get there, …
M*A*S*H: War of Nerves
M*A*S*H: War of Nerves focuses on the troops of the 4077th just getting plain tired and sick of the war. They’re on the edge, frustrated, miserable, lonely, irritable, and all kinds of adjectives that scream they want out. Everyone is driving one another batty, and there just …

House: Private Lives
When I first saw the description of Monday’s House episode “Private Lives,” I thought it was going to be similar to another episode we have seen on the show, where a person uses the internet to get an alternative diagnosis.
As it turns out, it was a pretty interesting episode.
The …
Games
After going through a season filled with a great reality-based hiring process for new assistants, I really expected more from House�s final decision.
The fact he was forced to make his choice was a bit interesting but the doctors dealing with a drugged-out rocker who was more than likely …
South Park - Coon Vs Coon and Friends
I was hoping for so much from this episode. I was hoping for answers, but got disappointed instead. I was waiting to hear about Kenny and his true origin. The ending should have explained more about him. Yet, this is a typical …
TV Guide Network
There is one thing that annoys me about the TV Guide network. When I want the channels to scroll faster, I realize just how slow it is. When I am actually trying to read what a program is about, it seems it flies up the …

Steve Wilkos Show
If I wanted to cheer for a bully, I’d visit a street corner on skid row and watch bad boys beat up on helpless derelicts, at least I could feel that they were “conflicted” jerks.
I don’t know if I’m more pissed at the dysfunctional guests or Steve Wilkos …
Loving the CSI shows
Watching the TV all the time, there could be hundreds of shows combined all channels and TV networks which makes it really hard to be able to decide for which one is actually the best of them all. Afterall, we all have different tastes; as for me, I would …
Are you Smarter than a 5th grader?

The Whole Truth: When Cougars Attack TV Show
When Cougars Attack is the latest outing from the soon to be defunct series, The Whole Truth, which stars Rob Morrow and Maura Tierney. I like the way the drama is presented, by giving us the prosecution side of the story and then the defense side. The …
Yo Gabba Gabba
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 …

Hawaii Five-O: No Blue Skies is another episode with a bit of a musical theme, and I love those. This time it’s Tommy Sands singing in the lounge of a Hawaii nightclub. He’s a fairly good singer, so I enjoyed the sounds a great deal.

Gilligan’s Island - Up to Bat TV Show

Jonestown Cult Documentary
Jonestown Cult is a disturbing documentary, released in 2009, concerning the mass suicide of over 900 members in 1978, at the urging of its charismatic leader, Jim Jones. It was interesting because a picture was painted of how the situation could get that bad without people questioning the …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature TV Show
There’s danger board the teaser ends on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature, the 15th episode of its third year on the air. It’s another leafy deep sea monster, and this one makes a yucky, screeching sound, too. It’s not long before it essentially …
