M*A*S*H: Dear Dad, Again has Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) writing another letter to his father. This concept of the letter home provides some of the best episodes of the series. It allows a lot of what I call snippets of life to be shown, versus one main …

M*A*S*H: Sometimes You Hear the Bullet is a masterpiece edition of this show in my opinion. I clearly recall watching this show the first time it aired. In fact, I taped it on a cassette recorder when it was rerun because I thought it was just that …

Leslie Nielsen guest stars in M*A*S*H: The Ringbanger as Colonel Buzz Brighton. He’s been wounded, though his injuries aren’t that severe. Hot Lips Houlihan (Loretta Swit) recognizes him immediately from an article in Stars and Stripes and is thoroughly impressed. As for Hawkeye (Alan Alda) and …

Tuttle is one of the all time best shows M*A*S*H ever did in my view. I love the cleverness of it and how it all played out. Early on, Hawkeye and Trapper are delivering supplies to Sister Theresa’s orphanage, and when she asks who was responsible, …

M*A*S*H: Love Story centers on Radar (Gary Burghoff), who is suddenly acting in a strange way. It takes some doing, and a physical examination, to get to the truth. The 4077’s clerk has just received a ‘Dear John’ letter from his girlfriend back home.
Hawkeye and his buddies …

Alan Alda’s Hawkeye Pierce does his first complete letter home to his father in M*A*S*H: Dear Dad. These shows are always fun ones, giving slices of life more than just one central theme that takes up the full half hour. In this case, this is the holiday …

Always bucking the system and putting their patient’s first, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) treat a North Korean, much to the consternation of Frank Burns (Larry Linville) in M*A*S*H: Germ Warfare. In fact, Frank complains to Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson), who tells …

While M*A*S*H: I Hate a Mystery has some very nice elements to it, I also feel like it has some flaws as well that detract from the show as a whole.
What happens in this first season episode is that belongings begin to disappear, beginning with a silver picture …

M*A*S*H: Yankee Doodle Doctor features Ed Flanders, best known for the medical drama St. Elsewhere, as a film director for the Army who is making a documentary about the MASH units under the command of General Clayton (Herb Voland). Of course, it’s a very glossed over review that …

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 …

Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 19 is basically about flashbacks of the housewives on Edie’s lives. How she ironically sort of gave them another perspective to hold on to.
These memories are of Edie on how the wives individually encounter with Edie. They are all in the …

There is rarely an episode of Bones that I don’t like. And this one is no exception. But this one is different from the rest of the episodes this season. Usually there is a mixture of serious things with a lot of humour. This time it was very serious and …

Crossing Jordan Season 1 Episode 6 - Believers
I really love this show. I watch it every day. The characters are very unique and attractive ( as in interesting, that is) and there is this element of solving the mystery that keeps me watching. But I did not like this …

I don’t know why but, even though I wasn’t the one driving to Philadelphia, I felt like I wasted a great deal of time watching the Ghost Hunters episode Fortuna & Topton.
I can see why Brian is no longer their case manager. He gets them some sucky cases. And, …

As I have seen most of the episodes of the first season of show Seven days I knew, more or less, what to expect in seconds season. Actually I was expecting some little improvements because it usually happens that way. Then again, the first episode should also be a …

We started watching some more season 1 episodes of the show Ghost Hunters last night, starting with one called “The Armory.” I didn’t see much in terms of actual ghosts but it was definitely an interesting one.
This one had them visiting a military armory that was supposed to be …

I had really high hopes for The Philanthropist when I first saw the commercials. It looked like an exciting action/adventure show with a real human element, and important moral message. The pilot lived up to those expectations. Telling the story of a billionaire who suddenly snaps …

That Girl: There Was a Time Ann Met a Pie Man is an episode I’ve always remembered, mainly because of the central theme of the show and the publicity that it received when it first aired on ABC. While actress Ann Marie has made progress in her career, …

One of the best shows of the entire That Girl series was this third season show called My Sister’s Keeper. I’ve remembered this episode from the very first time I saw it, and in fact, I remember some of the publicity from it when it originally aired.
The co-producer …

In That Girl: Many Happy Returns, Ann Marie gets a visit from Leon Cobb, a G-man from the Internal Revenue Service, advising her that she owes a bunch of money for not paying the correct taxes in 1965, which was a few years before. As it turned out, …

Jules Munshin returns for another appearance on the third season of That Girl. The last time he played a window washer and this time he’s Ann Marie’s agent. However, that’s a continuity glitch again since Seymour the agent was mentioned already in season three.
Early on in That …

While shopping, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) befriends an eight-year-old black boy named David (George Spell) who steals a candy bar. Though the boy initially tells her he lives on Park Avenue, Ann scoffs at it, so he invents a story about living in a one-bedroom apartment filled with …

One episode I’m really not fond of at all is That Girl: He and She and He, a second season entry. This brings back the character of Noel Prince, the British photographer from the two parter earlier in the season. In that outing, Noel went after Ann …

This That Girl episode focuses on more false assumptions, which often leads to fun. In ODPDYPAHIMCAISFSS, or as this crazy word stands for, Oh Don, Poor Don, Your Pants Are Hanging In My Closet And I’m Feeling So Sad, Don Hollinger’s mother comes to town for a visit, …

I can’t say that I’m a big fan of That Girl: Great Guy. It’s a show that aired towards the end of the second season and featured Ruth Buzzi, who has a recurring role as Margie ‘Pete’ Peterson. Buzzi is a talented comedienne, but this role really …

Again, my problem with the Shout Factory DVD release of this show, and others that they’ve done, is how inconvenient the layout is. Since this is only a four-disk set, it’s not as bad as others, but what they tend to do is put two DVDs on the …

Season three of That Girl begins with Sock It to Me, an episode featuring guest star Barry Sullivan. I’m not sure if it’s the use of star Sullivan that makes this worthy of a season opener, or if it just happened that way. Last season, it …

M*A*S*H: Chief Surgeon Who? is the fourth episode of this legendary series about the 4077th in the Korean War. It’s actually one of my very favorite episodes because it’s the classic face off between Hawkeye Pierce and Frank Burns. After a disagreement in the OR, Burns brings …

M*A*S*H: Requiem for a Lightweight is the third episode of this landmark TV series about the Korean War. Starring Alan Alda and Wayne Rogers, the show focuses on their characters of Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John McIntyre. It’s all a lot of craziness and jocularity, while also …

The first thing I noticed about That Girl: Eleven Angry Men and That Girl is that Don says that his parents are in St. Louis. He and Ann are planning on visiting them. I could be wrong, but I thought there was a mention of them …

Considering prior storylines, this third season entry for ABC’s That Girl opens a little oddly for me. The title is 7 1/4, which is also odd, so I suppose it all makes sense in some strange way. As the story begins, Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) is about …

In the second part of 7 1/4, a third season show from the hit comedy, That Girl, Ann Marie and Don Hollinger are in California. He’s writing a story for his magazine, while Ann is hoping to get an acting job. Early on, there’s a bit where …
