Voyagers!: All Fall Down
Voyagers!: All Fall Down just isn’t a show I’m much interested in and the reason for that is pretty simple. It’s two-thirds boxing, and I do not like boxing. I’ve watched it from time to time and even followed the careers of a boxer here and there, …
Pokemon (TV Show) - The Tower of Terror (Episode)
“The Tower of Terror” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. This is the second episode in a three episode story arc that’s focused on Ash claiming his third badge. In order to beat Sabrina, Ash and company travel to Lavender Town and the Pokemon Tower, where ghost …
Gilmore Girls
Characteristic of many a television series coming out of the United States of America, Gilmore Girls has a certain flirtatious appeal about it from a distance, and I am so glad I had nothing better to do, about four or five years back one evening, and decided to sit …
Jack Frost cartoon
Jack Frost was another vintage cartoon that I saw recently. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite as enamored with it as I thought I might have been. I love all kinds of holiday films, and it wasn’t that the story wasn’t good as that it wasn’t as complete as …
Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 2 is the second episode of season nine, a season I’d just as soon forget, with a handful of exceptions.
Mainly, this episode continues the ridiculous plot of Daniel and Vala being linked because of these bracelets that she found. Neither can stay too far …
Have Gun - Will Travel: High Wire
Have Gun - Will Travel: High Wire was definitely something you don’t see every day in a western, even today. This season one show guest starred Strother Martin as Dooley Delaware, a former high wire walker in the circus. He’s since lost his nerve and goes from …
Highway Patrol: Prisoner Exchange Copter TV Show
This 30th outing from Season 4 of Highway Patrol, a half hour police drama starring Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, is entitled Prisoner Exchange Copter. I was rather glad to see another show that gave us helicopters in the plot. If you go back and count …
The X-Files Memento Mori Episode
I would only recommend this episode to be watched by those who are or were following the popular nineteen nineties American television series “The X-Files”. This is because this particular episode does not really have to do with any strange and supernatural cases but has to do with something …
Cold Case: The Road
I don’t watch the show Cold Case all that often but got a chance to catch an episode of it yesterday afternoon; “The Road.” It turned out to be pretty decent.
Basically, a young woman is lured away from her engagement party and is kidnapped before anyone realizes she is …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 19- Contact
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 19- Contact
I really loved this episode. I thought it was absolutely coming in. Just because of the story that they have come up with. This is not just another crime investigation, this was absolutely interesting and unusual. I …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Long Years TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Long Years is a very poignant episode in my book. Robert Culp is the primary guest star, playing John Hathaway. He and his family were part of a colony living on Mars, only when wars broke out on Earth, everyone had to …
TV’s 50 Funniest Phrases
Tonight NBC aired TV’s 50 Funniest Phrases, a celebration of the best 50 phrases in TV history. What I liked about this show is that they ultimately admitted it was a mainstream 50 phrases. Going in and out of commercials, for example, they’d give the top 3 …
Modern Family TV Show
I am a firm believer that television has gone down in quality, especially where comedy is concerned. More often than not, ratings show that the most popular shows in America are the reality shows that ridicule one celebrity or another and sitcoms are nothing more than a combination of …
Harper’s Island (CBS)
Harper’s Island is a new show on CBS that follows the events taking place around a wedding party that has come to the island. The island itself has quite a gruesome history; years ago a serial killer did away with several of the residents including the mother …
Top Gear tv show
I have been watching the TV show “top gear” for a while now and it is one of my favorite shows on TV. Even if you aren’t interested in cars or racing you can be entertained by this show. Most car shows on TV are very factual and …
Keith Olbermann Countdown
These days you can watch the news on TV 24/7 if you’d like and you can find all kinds of different opinions and points of view depending on the show and the network you choose to watch. Also, these days you can get pretty depressed from watching the news; …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: When OMAC attacks!
The cold open features Batman teaming up with Hawk and Dove to settle an interplanetary war. The two heroes, of course, butt heads over which way is more effective. Hawk wants to fight while Dove wants to talk. Batman eventually comes in and comes up with …
The Prisoner: Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling
Now this is an intriguing show. The Prisoner: Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling gives star Patrick McGoohan a bit of a rest. Most of the show, his mind is in another man’s body, so all we hear are his thoughts. That’s a nice way …
In Performance at the White House: A Broadway Celebration TV Show
From July 2010, In Performance at the White House: A Broadway Celebration was held in such a small room (the famed East Room) with so many people crowded into it that sometimes it’s distracting. The stage is tiny, too. The edited program began with President Barack Obama …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Fifth Man TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Fifth Man is from the second season of Richard Boone’s hit western series. The show starts in San Francisco at the Hotel Carlton with Paladin sampling whiskey as a favor for the Hotel Carlton’s bartender. It’s his evaluation of the whiskey …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.4 - Surprise Party
Is it me or is it more than a coincidence that Corey Feldman receives the poster for his new movie, “The Birthday”, on Corey Haim’s 35th birthday? Hmm… Oh wait, this is reality television, everything is like 50% planned or something, right? So yeah, in that case, it does …
CSI New York Season 8 Episode 3
While I really like the new season of CSI episode 3 was a bit disappointing. I think that the creators of the show were attempting to make a really “cool” episode, with hot girls and cars in it, but the result ended up being a little bit show off …
Wagon Train: The Zebedee Titus Story
Wagon Train: The Zebedee Titus Story is a somewhat humorous tale that guest stars Neville Brand in the title role. He’s one of the old mountain men who’s aged but not yet ready to admit it. He has a hard time seeing far away, and he’s just …
Angel Television Show
I started watching this show a few months ago and I absolutely love it. It comes on very early in the morning (around 5:00 a.m. on TNT) so usually I try to check it out whenever I am awake. The premise of the show is very simple. …
Family Guy TV Episode: Mr. Saturday Knight
I have seen bits and pieces of the Family Guy episode “Mr. Saturday Knight” before. But last night was the first time I actually had a chance to watch the entire thing. And, overall, I think it was a pretty good episode.
Basically, Peter is feeling depressed because he hates …
King of the Lost World
I have no idea why I decided to watch King of the Lost World on the Science Fiction channel last night, probably because there wasn’t much on. However, I have to say it was one of the stupidest movies I’ve ever seen.
When I watched King of the Lost World, …
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story was a hoot and one of the best non-Robert Fuller episodes of Wagon Train. Fuller actually missed several episodes due to an accident, so it’s a long stretch without seeing Cooper Smith. Still, this story had some fun in it.
Melanie …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.3 - Cold Turkey
This is a rather very funny episode that allows both Haim and Feldman some alone time together to hang out. It all begins with Haim catching Feldman having a smoke due to the stressful tension he’s had to deal with between Susie and Haim. So as a result, Haim …
Betty La Fea TV program
I’m currently watching Betty La Fea of ABS-CBN. It is a local TV program aired every weeknight. It showcased Bea Alonzo playing the part of the ugly Betty and John Lloyd Cruz as Armando, the leading man. The two matched up perfectly. Their roles fit their personalities and their …
Max Headroom: Rakers TV show
Max Headroom: Rakers from April 1987 starts out with some curious dramatic angst when controller Theora Jones (Amanda Pays) can’t be found, causing Edison Carter (Matt Frewer) to become concerned. While others suggest he just not worry about her and hire a new assistant, Edison refuses and tracks …
Third Watch series
I thoroughly enjoy this series as it remind of such winners as ER and Hill Street Blues. The cast of unknowns and minor experienced actors is just perfect. I enjoy these characters and weekly root for such friends as Sully, Faith, Carlos, Kim, Boscorelli, …
Sea Hunt: Storm Drain TV Show
Sea Hunt: Storm Drain, the 29th program to air in this underwater adventure series’ third season on television, included an appearance by young Beau Bridges in the role of Warren Tucker. Beau, who grew up to be a terrific actor himself, was the young son of series star …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Man Who Lost TV Show
From season two, The Man Who Lost was the 31st episode of the year. Can you imagine that? The 31st, and it wasn’t the last one! The series was Have Gun - Will Travel, starring Richard Boone as the intellectual gunfighter for hire, Paladin. Whatever …
That Girl: Among My Souvenirs
That Girl: Among My Souvenirs is a fairly confined show in that there really is just one guest star, Steve Harmon. Harmon played Ensign Pulver in the TV series Mister Roberts and he appeared in one of my favorite Disney films, The One and Only Genuine Original Family …
Coffee, Tea or Me? movie
Coffee, Tea or Me? is a cute little made for TV movie from 1973 that actually tackled the surprising subject matter of bigamy. Of course, it’s done humorously and with the best of intentions. The movie stars Karen Valentine, who is a much better actress than all …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Pool Shark TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Pool Shark is the second episode of the current season. It is notable mostly for Liz Vassey’s appearance as ‘Lab Rat’ Wendy Simms. This is Vassey’s last show. Her option was not picked up so Wendy breaks Hodges’ heart and takes …

The Red, White, or Blue episode from the second season of Due South begins with Benton Fraser and Ray Vecchio having a bit of a tiff stemming from all the publicity that Fraser is getting from helping to prevent the disaster that was the subject of the prior episode …

The Batman: Episode - A Matter of Family
I am a big fan of comics and their characters and cartoon shows. Batman is a character created by DC comics and there have been so many cartoon versions of this simple superhero. One of my favourite versions is a recent one named “The Batman.” This story unfolds little …
Kim Possible: Steal Wheels
Kim Possible is a show on Disney about a cheerleader and her bumbling sidekick (and his pet naked mole rat) who repeatedly saves the world. It is a very cute cartoon aimed mainly at teens, but also enjoyable for adults- or at least this adult.
In Steal Wheels, the first …
New York Goes to Hollywood (VH1 TV program)
Just when I thought television couldn’t get any worse, I saw this show. First of all, I cannot believe that New York was even allowed to have her own reality show. But I guess the more despicable a person is, the more America wants to see her/him. …
The Cosby show
If you are looking for a great comedy old show then turn to Nickolodean Tv and Nick at Night. The reruns of the Cosby Show are fantastic. Especially during the summer months when they run marathons which is an entire 8 hours of one show after another. …
Make Me a Super Model
Ever since the success of America’s Next Top Model, several shows have gone out of their way of duplicating the show while trying to add a twist that makes it different.
Other than having male models and letting America decide who is voted off, there really isn’t much difference between …
The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair
My daughter and I ended up watching a couple older Scooby Doo episodes last night; the episodes where Scooby and the Mystery Gang meet Batman and Robin and help them solve crimes involving some familiar characters from that series.
The first episode, The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair, proved to be …
MacGyver: Kill Zone
Quite honestly, I hate MacGyver: Kill Zone and I hate it for a simple reason. I’m an animal lover, and I do *not* like what happens here. I don’t like what I have to look at in the opening scene that is the set up for the …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Joe Namath (#2) TV Show
On this evening, Joe Namath was the Man of the Hour being roasted in The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. Namath was one of four people who were roasted twice during these events. This was his second time in the hot seat. As often was the case, …
Beverly Hillbillies: Granny Goes to Hooterville
I didn’t get to see the other parts to this Beverly Hillbillies episode. But, the first part of Granny Goes to Hooterville is definitely clever and funny.
You have so much going on. Granny is getting set to go to Hooterville (the setting of another show at the time, Petticoat …
The O’Reilly Factor
There are actually some things I agree with Bill O’Reilly about, but it’s just the way he says them that often grates on my nerves.
Certainly, he speaks his mind, without attention to political correctness, which is admirable, but it is a bit difficult to take the arrogance that accompanies …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Freshman
As far as Season Four of Buffy the Vampire Slayer goes, the first episode “The Freshman” is OK because it provides a lead-in of things to come but isn’t the best season premiere I’ve seen.
This episode starts with Buffy starting her first days as a college freshman and, even …
