Medium: It’s a Wonderful Death TV Show
Medium: It’s a Wonderful Death is another show that had a very nice season ender. The show narrowly escaped cancellation, or so it’s believed as of this writing. Actually, while I like this show, one thing I’ve consistently thought about it is that Patricia Arquette’s character of …

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Wild Card
In The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Wild Card, Brisco and Bowler hit Reno, the coming thing, electric lights and all. It’s gambling, all glitzed up. You don’t normally see that on a western.
This show also brings up another Cousins, as in Dolly (Elaine Hendrix). I …
The Virginian: The Devil’s Children
When I first watched The Virginian: The Devil’s Children, I kept thinking this wicked stepchild, aka: the villainous of the piece, looked darn familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out. Then I looked up the credits and realized it was Joan Freeman, guest starring as a bratty girl …
Gilligan’s Island - So Sorry, My Island Now TV Show
This episode was ok to watch. It delves yet again into the history in the Gilligan’s Island world with the arrival of a lost Japanese sailor. So we get a glimpse of yet again more history which in turn broadens our view a little more. I was not impressed …
Martin
Martin is one of my favorite TV shows. This show is so funny and Martin Lawrence does a great job of acting in the show. Martin is so funny. His facial expressions along with his voice and jokes, make him a very funny man. I think this is one of …
CSI Season 3 Episode 6- The Execution of Catherine Willows
The beginning of the episode was, for no better choice of words, plain cool. It was so unexpected that it grabbed my attention right from the beginning. They did a really good job with this one. It was potentially a really tricky subject, but they handled it quite well, …
Remembering The Fall Guy An American Classic featurette
Remembering The Fall Guy An American Classic is a wonderful featurette that gives fans some insight into just how The Fall Guy came about. I found it to be interesting and a lot of fun. I broke into a smile at several points, in fact.

TNT’s “The Closer”: season six episode two “Help Wanted”
After the relatively uninspired premiere episode of The Closer’s sixth season, I wasn’t exactly expecting fireworks from its second episode.

Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth

Dr.Oz Show
Dr.Oz is a new talk show that started fall season of 2009. It airs on NBC in the afternoons. I have watched the show from the first episode which started 4 days ago. I am already bored with it. The stage of the show is bland and the host …
Thriller: Cousin Tundifer TV Show
From the second season of Thriller comes a little episode called Cousin Tundifer with Edward Andrews playing Miles Tundifer. This is somewhat of an eerie comedy, murder with a humorous twist. It’s a tale that brings the past to the present, from time to time, that is.
Here …
Chase: Havoc TV Show
Chase: Havoc was one of the more interesting hours of this freshman NBC series that focuses on a team of United States Marshals. The head of the team is Annie. She’s a bit of a wild cannon in my opinion and I’m not sure yet if I …
Emergency!: Dilemma
Emergency!: Dilemma began with a really cool directorial shot of the engine and squad heading for their first response of the show. It was an overhead shot that was never exactly repeated, though other similar shots were done in later years. This series employed a lot of …

BET
Horrible.
My only word to describe the network known as Black Entertainment Television. This channel is absolutely horrible. It destroys the integrity of the black community and is a divisive, harmful tool for those who watch it.
BET wasn’t always the worse channel a black person could flip to. There …

Due South: Spy vs. Spy
Due South: Spy vs. Spy was a fairly decent episode of this final season of the adventure drama. It had some interesting and clever elements to it, as well as some small comedy that worked for the bizarreness of the story. Basically, the caper surrounds a secret organization …
Mr. Monk Goes Camping
I will admit, Friday night’s episode of Monk was better than expected.
When I saw he was going camping, I immediately thought to myself “didn’t we do an episode like that before?” But, this time around, it was him helping Randy with a group of kids in the woods in …

The Cosby Show. A TV Sitcom
For those of us who grew up during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s there is no more memorable sitcom than “The Cosby Show”. To me “The Cosby Show” was a big part of my childhood and a sitcom that still reigns as my favorite sitcom of all …
Voyagers!: Destiny’s Choice
Jon-Erik Hexum and Meeno Peluce star in Voyagers!: Destiny’s Choice wherein their characters of Phineas Bogg and Jeffrey Jones have to convince Franklin Delano Roosevelt to continue with his political dreams.

Home Improvement Show
I love this show, Home Improvement. It reminds me of growing up in the ’90s. I loved the banter between Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson, who played his wife, Jill. I like how they work everything out with each other and care about what the other thinks. And they …
The Beast: Hothead
The latest episode of The Beast, entitled Hothead, had some moments, but it’s suffering a bit from the odd, over-acting of Travis Fimmel, who plays Ellis Dove, the partner of Charles Barker, portrayed by series star Patrick Swayze. There’s just something about Fimmel’s look — it’s a smirk …

The Andy Griffith Show TV Episode: Mayberry on Record
Like I mentioned in another review, I was home with the kids yesterday and, while rocking my youngest daughter to sleep, I found myself watching some episodes of the Andy Griffith Show.

This one had a man coming to Mayberry …

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 …
