One of the good things about Adam-12: The Parole Violator is that we get an outside look at Pete Malloy’s personal life and see how he contributes to the community in his off hours. In this case, he’s a basketball coach. I like how he approaches and …

Hey, look at this. Another Buffy the Vampire Slayer season and another episode revolving around her (19th) birthday. Doesn’t anyone else have a birthday on the show?
Once again, we also have to have some sort of problem going on during her birthday celebration. Seriously, can’t the girl just have …

The sixteenth episode in the series, “The Hidden Enemy”, is a few steps up from the horrid “Trespass” which preceded it. This episode is actually a prequel to “The Clone Wars” film itself and explains why the forces on the planet of Christophsis (which happens to look a lot …

I’m afraid that Burn Notice: Rough Seas did nothing to hold my interest. I didn’t like the plot or the unfamiliar guest stars. Well, I did recognize one of the actors from The UNIT — Max Martini, but he doesn’t make me want to watch anything. …

Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror is terrific. It’s a more in depth look at parallel universes, something that was more lightly delved into during the first season of this series. What makes this so much fun is the interpretation of the characters. This isn’t just parallel, it’s like …

Our local TV channel has just brought us the localized version of “The Singing Bee”. A show produced by NBC, an all American reality show aired only about 2 seasons and did not last very long because it did not have a good tv ratings in America. Having said …

What not to wear, after 250 episodes, somehow manages to still be one of my favorite things to watch on television. In each episode, one fashion challenged person is nominated by his or her friends for a trip to New York, a fashion consultation with Stacy London and …

The first thing I noticed about A Man Called Hawk: Choice of Chance was the opening scene with a church choir singing the song, “Elijah Rock.” I absolutely adore that song. We used to sing in choir way back in junior high school. I really haven’t …

Well, this episode of Bones, Spaceman in a Crater, turned out to be decent; but the earlier episodes usually were; unlike some of the more recent ones.
This episode had the team investigating remains that apparently had fallen from a plan and shattered upon contact with the ground. After seeing …

What a change, the actors actually face a survival situation not from man but from space, something that we face everyday. And in m opinion the producer did an excellent job making this episode well thought out. There is one scene that is completely unrealistic, again the Professor uses …

In my mind, CHiPs: High Explosive is a bit controversial. I’m sure to many it could be a sensitive area. It begins when a teenager uses a pellet gun and causes a traffic accident that leaves one woman seriously injured.
Ike Eisenmann guest stars as Barry, the boy …

I am awaiting the start of the ninth season of Dancing with the Stars with bated breath. I first followed this reality dance show, which features a professional ballroom dancer teaming up with a celebrity to do ballroom dancing, when I watched Mel B and Maksim Chmerkovskiy dance the …

Quincy, M.E.: Go Fight City Hall… to the Death from 1976 is the pilot for this crime drama. It told a story not often seen on TV and that is the role of the medical examiner. Played by Jack Klugman, Quincy is a fighter. His personal …

I regularly watch the Showbiz News Ngayon (SNN) program on ABS CBN. I am thoroughly entertained with the format of the show and the undeniable chemistry of Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino. The format of the show keeps close tabs of the famous stars in the local show business …

There’s good news and bad news about Diagnosis Murder. The good news was that it was back for another year. An Innocent Murder is the first episode of the show’s third season. Now depending on your preferences, some of the bad news might be deemed good …

I’m not sure at what point Marlo Thomas decided that this fourth season would be the last of That Girl, but I’ve noticed all season long that there was an additional warmth between Ann Marie and Donald Hollinger. It’s hard to put into words, but it’s a comfort …

From what I’ve read, this episode was critically lambasted. To its credit, the episode does have some strong ideas behind it, but the execution of it ends up doing the plot a disservice. There are several instances where astronauts have reported seeing something out in space during …

Sea Hunt: Alligator Story is a tale that just the name would keep me from watching if I weren’t reviewing this episode. Gator stories are not my cup of tea, as they say. The story opens with a really nice camera shot of Nelson looking up through …

This is one of the latest episodes of CSI: Las Vegas. While I give it up for them for trying out something new, I didn’t really care much for this episode. Other than being completely different from other episodes, I didn’t really like anything about it. I thought it …

If I’m not mistaken, I watched this from Season 4, and it was again classic Friends downright funny when Chandler offended his just became ex, Joanne, and he was locked with a handcuff. So he buzzed Rachel to let him go and buzzed her on the intercom. And …

“Winter Olympics” is the first episode of the “Inspector Gadget” television series. It’s interesting to watch this episode in part due to the changes that were made after it was produced, so there are some unique aspects that appear in this episode but not in the other episodes in …

At first, I was really sceptical about this series. I thought this was going to be one of those boring doctors on tv. I started watching it because I didn’t have anything to watch last time so I decided to buy this tv series on dvds. …

After a very successful TV pilot movie, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe hit the air with its first regular show. It had the very long and snazzy title of The Robin Tucker’s Roseland Roof and Ballroom Murder. One thing you can say about this private eye dramedy (half …

Last night’s final Project Runway challenge was somewhat entertaining. The designers were taken to an art museum and told to create an outfit based on something they were inspired by. This ended up being everything from an old bed to moss on a fountain outside.
I have to tell you …

One of my favorite Simpsons episodes was on television earlier today (or, actually, yesterday since I’m writing this in the wee hours of Saturday morning);Lost our Lisa. It is a cute episode for a variety of reasons.
For one, you have a funny situation where Bart goes to a joke …

I can’t help it; I’m obsessed with this TV show every time I end up finding out that it’s on. I guess maybe I’m ‘taking notes’ for the day when my fiance and I have kids and if they’re unruly and whatnot. I like the way the nannies deal …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Unforgiving Minute, episode 20 of season six of the Richard Boone western series, does not have my beloved introduction that takes place in San Francisco. I’m not sure how many shows in this year were without them, but from what I’ve seen in …

The Donald is back again for another season of Celebrity Apprentice, and it promises to be equally as weird as the first year, only this year, the women are made up of a lot of females I’ve never heard of, versus just a few of those last year.
When I …

From August 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Sound of Thunder is a story about time travel and the implications of not following the rules. It’s pretty much that simple. That by itself I might enjoy, but sense the story utilizes hunting as its means of telling …

The first and most noticeable thing about That Girl: They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They? is that Bernie Kopell has also gone mod, which is something I’ve commented on with season four of That Girl. As of this episode, Kopell’s Jerry Bauman has long, extended sideburns and he has …

The final show of the eighth season, and the last one to feature more than 20 episodes, is M*A*S*H: April Fools. Though it’s only March, the 4077th has begun its pranks early. All of these are pretty funny. However, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) asks his …

This was the first and possibly the most gothic out of all of the episodes. Never have I seen such a unique twist of ironic comedy and such bitter truth. Fantasy blends with truth. Truth collides with religion. This is certainly an unusual show. Ichigo, the hero of …

While watching television, I happened upon a commercial where a man is seated at his kitchen table with Abraham Lincoln, and what looks to be a groundhog, but is actually a beaver. In the rear, facing the sink (presumably washing dishes) is what looks like an astronaut. …
