I loved The Office from the first time I watched it on television. When Season one became available on dvd, I bought it immediately. I did not mind paying twenty dollars for eight episodes. Steve Carrell is hilarious, he is the worlds funniest boss without a doubt.
In season one …

Midway through the second season of Stargate SG-1, there was a two-part episode that gave us more information on the Tok’ra race, which had been introduced earlier in the year in the episode In the Line of Duty. Stargate SG-1: The Tok’ra Part 1 is an interesting episode.
However, …

This is the 35th episode from the popular 90s American television show “The X-Files”. I don’t remember watching this one when I was little, or on the SciFi cable television channel, however, I did watch it a few months ago online. For some reason I did not find this …

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 was browsing movie options at Netflix for our Netflix player and came across season 1 of the show Fraggle Rock. So, I loaded it for our oldest daughter, who is always looking for something to watch after school.
This was actually the first time I’ve seen the show too …

There is a new channel in our cable television channels. It is called Baby First. I think this channel is being offered for small kids or babies. The programs that you will find in this channel are not the same with the kids channel that we have. But all …

Ok, here is a show that I have huge problems with. First of all, let’s start off with the premise of the show. For one thing, I don’t really get the idea of trying out other dates in an effort to figure out whether or not …

Episode 4 of the first season of Adam-12 is another goodie. It’s the show that introduces us to a detective named Jerry, played by Jack Hogan of “Combat” fame. The recurring character is awesome, and it’s really too bad he didn’t show up in even more shows.
The …

Big Brother sometimes drives me batty. I’m nowhere near as hooked as I was during its first season. In fact, I’m not hooked at all anymore. I can barely even remember the contestants’ names. Were there anything else opposite it, I wouldn’t watch, and when …

With Donna Noble having passed on being the next companion, it’s up to the Doctor to find someone else to accompany him. Enter Martha Jones, a young med student who has a hectic family life. Between the three companions so far, I honestly like her the best. …

The Fugitive: Tug of War from season two is an interesting show that pits two law enforcement types against each other. Both want to bring Kimball in, and it’s quite the guessing game as to who will be the victor as the show progresses.
Don Gordon guest stars as …

I haven’t mentioned yet how the opening ‘theme’ as it is for Have Gun - Will Travel changes with each episode. I don’t recall if that continues throughout the series run, but thus far, star Richard Boone draws his weapon, aims the gun at us, the viewers, and …

Boris Karloff both hosts and plays a part in this early anthology series, The Veil. This episode is called Vision of Crime and tells the story of a man who sees the murder of his brother while on a trip overseas. When he returns to America, he …

This past weekend, my wife was away for the weekend so I hade a chance to watch television unencumbered by the thought process. When such opportunities occur, I often find myself watching either old TV shows, or westerns. This week I got to do both.
I find episode number four …

A man is standing in his own private home with his young daughter and wife by his side. His wife disappears to put a pot on to make tea, and the little girl spends a few minutes with her daddy. Outside the house a man hides in the shadows, …

There’s some drama for sure in Have Gun - Will Travel: The Protégé when Richard Boone’s Paladin teaches Peter Breck’s Kurt Sprague in gun use and etiquette. It’s so weird to see Breck playing this kind of role. He was all decked out in a proper city …

I liked a few things about Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Challenge, starring David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine and Chris Potter as his son, Peter Caine, who is now a police detective. It’s the father and son relationship and the journey that evolves from the first to …

I have to say I have become addicted to the Gilmore Girls. I’ve been watching this TV show since the first episode and from the very first time I saw it I couldn’t wait to see the next one.
Gilmore Girls is such a relief when we consider teen TV. …

Yeah, once again a Law & Order show decides to take some story from the newspapers and turn it into a show. The Law & Order SVU episode “Babes” takes the stories of a possible teenaged pregnancy pact and turns it into a story of rape and murder.
The idea …

From the first time I watched Numb3rs in AXN, I have fallen in love with this show. I remember David Krumholtz (who plays Charlie Eppes in this TV series) as the lovable love interest of Wednesday Addams (I forget his character name there), and I can see that he …

OK, my wife and I just finished watching the last two episodes of the first season of the show Ghost Hunters. Rather than reviewing those, I figured I would take a minute to recap what I thought of the entire season. And, unfortunately, the answer to that is “not …

“Jurisdiction” is one of the better episodes of Season 7. Diane Neal of “Law And Order SVU” played Abigail Borin, a CGIS agent who was very much like Gibbs. Yes, she does the infamous ‘Gibbs slap’. Yes, she does not believe in coincidences. Yes, she …

Spice and Wolf is an anime that I didn’t expect to like half as much as I did. First, a word of caution: if you’re looking for epic battles and testosterone-filled fighters, look elsewhere. Bleach is right over there, or look at Buso Renkin right next to it, and …

Let me say up front that this review definitely has spoilers about this series end that not everyone might want to read, so if you don’t want to know the specifics, you may want to bypass this one.
I’m really not sure what to say about Sable: Mob. It …

There is a lot that has changed within the lives of the Mystic Falls folk in season 2 of the Vampire Diaries. In episode number seven “Masquerade” the town of Mystic Falls gather’s together to celebrate at the Lockwood’s estate, where Katherine makes an appearance, posing as Elena. Since …

In M*A*S*H: A Full Rich Day, Hawkeye Pierce sends another letter home to his dad, only this time it’s not written, but spoken on a tape recorder. I love the opening explanation of how Hawkeye ended up with the recorder. It’s pretty funny.
One oddity about this show …

M*A*S*H: Dear Dad… Three simply refers to this being the third episode where we get a full out letter from Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) to his father. These episodes are always so good to watch. They provide glimpses of life at the 4077th and allow a lot …

The sixth entry for the third season of Highway Patrol, which stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, was called Hostage Family Copter. Yes, it’s another show that features the helicopter. This crime drama loved showcasing this mode of transportation, which as we all know today can …

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is a late night show. This show usually comes on the same time Conan does, well I guess it would be the Jimmy Fallon show now. I love Craig Ferguson since the first time I caught his show. He doesn’t always have …

Would you rather win the lottery, or be given a job as host of Top Gear? For me, I’d take the job. I haven’t seen the American version of the show on the History channel yet, but the British version of Top Gear has to be the best thing …

Well, episode 2 of Ghost Hunters Academy did at least have the “students” doing more than the first episode, as they explored a haunted battleship. But, it also revealed that these participants aren’t very good at working as a team.
Basically, you have one who claims to be a medium …

Centennial: The Longhorns is one of the most fun section of this wonderful mini-series. It’s the only focused on the cowboy, and since I love cowboys, I loved this episode.
One of the reasons The Longhorns works so well is that it is headed up by the terrific actor, …

General Hammond is pleased until he hears that …

One of the things I’ve always remembered about the filming of The Twilight Zone: Third from the Sun is how the show is filmed. It’s the camera angles that really give it a warped feel. It’s vital for the story and it puts the viewer off guard.
The …

In the waking dawn of the city, the church bells are rung in joyless splendor before our Lord. A sort of declaration that the new day is finally here. Alas, who would ever guess that these bells would mark the death and destruction of mankind. Welcome to the …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Pedestrian is an interesting show worth watching. I will restate here one of my complaints from another review and this is that I wish Bradbury, from who all of these stories emanate, gave us just a bit more of a setup from the …

Tuesday Weld is the main reason for watching this show. The Fugitive: Dark Corner is all about the Weld’s character of Mattie Braydon, a blonde sex-kitten type of gal who is spoiled and conniving. Oddly, she’s blind in this story, which makes her come off as sweet …

I’ve never really been the type of person to watch television soap operas, since I’ve never had much interest in them. I can remember specifically that back when I was in high school there was a group of girls who would watch these series and then talk about them …

During the first season the show struggled a little bit and that becomes clear in this episode. The episode itself features a storyline surrounding a con artist from France. We first see a rich woman heading off to meet up with her lover for the night. When she arrives …

When I sit in front of TV, I just switch to entertainment programs or some programs that I like. I rarely to watch the everyday news like my husband always do. The other day, my husband asked me to watch CNN news (his favorite program) with him. That show …

I actually started watching the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Stocks and Bondage” fifteen minutes into it so unfortunately I did not get to see the introduction to find out what happened. However, thankfully one does not have to see the very first part in order to …

“Jealousy” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode follows a pretty standard formula that I imagine, at the time, hadn’t been done to death like it has by now. In this episode, Rob ends up working late several nights with a beautiful woman that is …

Nana is the second anime I have seen by manga artist Ai Yazawa, an it lived up to all my expectations. I was highly pleased with the drawing style, the originality in design, the great choice of music, and the heart put into the storyline. It was …

In this episode of The Prisoner, entitled Many Happy Returns, Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) wakes up to an unusual day. The usual happy greeting over the public address system doesn’t happen. There’s no cheerful music, and the residents of The Village aren’t anywhere to be found. …

Stargate SG-1: Politics continues the season 1 ending arc with the first of the annual ‘clips’ shows. Essentially, for budget purposes, one episode of SG-1 per season is some kind of show where the bulk of the story is shown using clips of past episodes. The new …

I don’t like watching TV nowadays, but every Sunday I do try to watch ABS-CBN Channel 2’s ASAP 2008. That is a variety show, where most of the contract stars of Channel 2 dances, or sings. They have quite a lot of features in that show two; it is …

This episode is great! You know there is not even one dull moment in the whole show, full of surprising events that keeps you guessing what will happen next. It plays as more an outrageous show and yes is unrealistic, but still good. Gilligan of course gets into trouble, …

Alias Smith and Jones: The McCreedy Bust, the second episode of this series, sets up a recurring character in Big Mac McCreedy, played by the robust and highly entertaining Burl Ives. The character comes back repeatedly throughout this western show. He’s a delight because he’s crafty, and …

When I first heard that HBO was running a show on NFL training camp, I thought it would just be another boring and poorly portrayed image of the NFL. Was I wrong, this documentary by NFL films has to be one of the best I’ve seen. It was not …
