Psych TV Show
I really love the show Psych and I especially loved the second season. There weren’t any major cast changes and they didn’t feel the need to bring in some new person to throw the cast around. It was just Gus and Shawn, the cops and of course Shawn’s dad. …

The typical episode of the office has at least two major plot lines, and while this episode had two plot lines it was much the much more typical A and B plot than most episodes of the office. The B plot involves a Ping-Pong table that has just been …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Shadow Women of Chung Tai
It’s yet another romance for Frank Buck in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Shadow Women of Chung Tai. I doubt the real Frank Buck had a girl popping out of the woodwork every other week. Bruce Boxleitner fans may like it, but I’ve never liked
the notion of …

Smallville Season 8 Episode 6
This episode was a little boring in my opinion. It was all to do with developing the story line for the entrance of Doomsday. A killer is going nuts all over Metropolis and Clark and Chloe are trying to find it. They go looking for the …
Star Trek: Journey to Babel TV Show
Star Trek: Journey to Babel is one of the legendary shows because it introduces us to Spock’s parents, Sarek and Amanda. Mark Lenard plays Sarek, a role he’d continue to play in the Star Trek movies as well as the spin off series, Star Trek: The Next Generation. …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Inspector TV Show
One of the final episodes of the first season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Inspector began with a classic scene of Barney playing checkers against himself. Now it’s a hoot, but haven’t we all done something like this before? I think that’s why it works so well. …

That 70s show

Stylista TV series
The CW network’s - together with Tyra Banks - indirect answer to the popular Project Runway is Stylista, a TV series that enlists several fashion-oriented individuals to vie for the prize of a much-coveted fashion career at Elle magazine.

MacGyver: Jack of Lies
I don’t like it, and I’ll say that up front. MacGyver: Jack of Lies is the first appearance of the Jack Dalton character. This guy is the same kind of character that Tom Selleck dealt with on Magnum P.I., the annoying chum that he can’t help but …
FlashForward
How to review this show without giving too much away? Tricky one.
I’m sure you would have seen something of the premise - they give that away in the trailers. At the same moment, people across the world black-out and have a vision of their future - a FlashForward.
There are …

Sex And The City

Night Gallery: Finnegan’s Flight TV Show
Rod Serling introduced this episode of Night Gallery by saying that he was considered to be the Howard Cosell of the crypt. That was an odd start, but it makes sense, in an odd way. Then we get to the evening’s entertainment, a half hour vehicle written …

This episode meant well, but …
Smallville Episode 8.10: Bride
I, like most people, was somewhat skeptical when it was announced that Doomsday, the infamous monster who killed Superman, would be coming to Smallville. It seemed odd when they announced that Doomsday was going to be played by Sam Witwer as a paramedic with a dark side. …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Peter Marshall TV Show

Futurama TV Episode: Fear of a Bot Planet
Well, so far, I have liked most of the Futurama episodes I have been watching with my daughter over the past couple of days. But, the season 1 episode Fear of a Bot Planet was actually kind of weak compared to most of the others.
The problem with this episode …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Sammy Davis Jr. TV Show
