Family Values (Starhunter Episode)
Family Values is a very strong episode in the Starhunter canon. This one has everything: a bit of action, a bit of comedy, the further exploration of the character of Dante, giving us our first glimpse of our recurring villains the Raiders, as well as bringing his …
The Twilight Zone: The Thirty-Fathom Grave TV Show
I’ve never been much of a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Thirty-Fathom Grave, which is just a little overdone for my tastes. Essentially, it’s a story about a navy cruiser that picks up the sound of hammering on its sonar. Investigation leads to the fact …
NCIS Los Angeles Season 3 Episode 1
I waited a long time for the new season of NCIS Los Angeles. The last season was intentionally cut in mid story. Unexpectedly and mysteriously, Hetty resigns from her post and goes to Romania to close some unfinished business. Of course, what she did is so absurd that …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Greatest Story Never Told
The Greatest Story Never Told is the awesomely funny eighth episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. The Episode stars the little used Booster Gold who absolutely steals the show. I found myself wanting a Booster Gold series after watching this episode.
The episode features Booster Gold from start …
Highway Patrol: Prison Break TV Show
I have a couple of episodes of Highway Patrol in my personal video collection, but I haven’t seen the series in years. Now one of the cable networks is rerunning it, and it’s a great opportunity to watch this groundbreaking series again. As many of the so-called …
Sherlock (BBC TV series)
My friend has been asking me to watch the series Sherlock. This is not the movie, but the BBC series. Initially I didn’t want to see it knowing it only had 3 episodes per season, but recently I had nothing to watch so I decided to see it. Apparently …
The Twilight Zone: The Little People TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Little People is a good episode of the series that examines what happens when a couple of astronauts land on a planet and discover a world of very tiny people. They are so small that we really never see them. We just hear little …
M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry
Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …
CHiPs: The Volunteers
In CHiPs: The Volunteers from season two we meet Charley Davis and his daughter, Robbie as played by Mod Squad’s Tige Andrews and Katherine Cannon, respectively. Both of these characters reoccur in future episodes. Charley and Robbie are truckers and they are being pressured, which is what gets …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy the Marriage Counselor TV Show
From its first season on the air, The Andy Griffith Show: Andy the Marriage Counselor was a solid outing, more for its side gag than for the actual plot in my opinion.
When the show starts, we see Deputy Barney Fife reading “The Art of Judo” after which he goes …
The Prisoner: Checkmate (2009) TV Show
The Prisoner: Checkmate is the conclusion, at last, to this updated renovation of the science fiction show that Patrick McGoohan brought to us in the 1960’s. That show was all from McGoohan’s mind and while it had an ending, a lot of people say that no one really understood …
Gilligan’s Island - Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow TV Show
I have to say this episode is quite fun to watch. Gilligan has to be the versatile character since he has different roles to play. Gilligan roles yes, but he performed each role of old man, bald man and Gilligan himself. There was that nagging unrealistic use of crude …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Solid Gold Patrol
I have problems with The Solid Gold Patrol episode of Have Gun - Will Travel from season 2. The basic premise is that a corporal in the army has won the New Orleans lottery which was worth $600,000. I must admit straight up that I didn’t even …
The Virginian: Riff-Raff
The Virginian: Riff-Raff was half drama and half comedy. It guess starred Ray Danton and Don Durant, who both had some funny moments, but the real smiles came with Karl Swenson as Teddy Roosevelt. This was Teddy beginning his Rough Riders. In a comedy of …
Flavor Flav TV Show
Flavor Flavs house of love is one of my favorite shows. The show featurs former rapper Flavor Flav who is now in his 40s and looking for love. Twenty women went on this show and are all fighting it out for his affection. Simple enough. Except in my opinion …

The Cleaner: Five Little Words

Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection is actually part two of the story that began in Prometheus the week before. However, they really aren’t connected in terms of the story. Prometheus was an avenue to get the ship in space and meet up with the Asgard.
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection …
M*A*S*H: The Novocaine Mutiny
This episode of the long running wartime comedy took place mostly as a flashback. In M*A*S*H: The Novocaine Mutiny, Frank Burns (Larry Linville) has once again brought Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) up on charges, this time for mutiny of all things. With a colonel present to reside …
Christmas with the Stars
After watching what is obviously an older TV event called Christmas with the Stars, I did some research and it seems that this is probably an edited version of another holiday programming from years ago. It’s really odd how the show is altered and renamed. It must …

It has been a while since I’ve seen the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Jonathan. The last time we saw him was during season three, when he attempts to kill himself and Buffy stops him.

NCIS Los Angeles Season 4 Episode 4
I am very glad to see that Hetty is back for good on episode 4 of season 4 of NCIS Los Angeles. After the departure of Agent Taylor last month Hetty is right back where she belongs. It think that it was completely unnecessary to take her out of …
Bones: The Princess and the Pear
For the most part, I like the show Bones. But, some episodes, like this week’s “the Princess and the Pear” tend to be a bit too dumb to be enjoyable.
This one decided to focus on the fantasy world many people enjoy living in. People who attend comic book conventions, …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Not Normal
Synopsis: Spongebob decides he wants to have a “normal” life and goes through the necessary changes; both emotional and physical.

The New Adventures of Old Christine Season 1
The first season of the New Adventures of Old Christine was a really funny one though not as funny as I remembered. It took me quite awhile to buy the season on DVD because it’s fairly expensive for 15 episodes that are less than 30 minutes long. When I …

Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 13

Hawthorne: No Exit TV Show

Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 6: The Vampires of Venice
