At long last we are getting into the real juice of this series with edge-of-your-seat action and exciting thrills that make you beg for more as soon as you can get it. Sasuke is still paralyzed by fear, which is a nice change to see, but this episode won’t …

I am always happy when a series I’ve been watching comes back on the air, but there are certain shows which carry more of that certain type of joy. “Lost” is one of them. The season premier of Lost; “Because You Left: The Lie” is two hours long and …

“Prey” is the sixth episode of season eight of Smallville. Simply stated, this was a great episode! It had action, mystery, and tension between Clark and Chloe that, for once, did not seem forced or contrived. People, even best friends, disagree with each other. Both …

Austin Scarlett and Santino Rice, one time contestants on Project Runway, have their own show now called On the Road with Austin and Santino. Some folks might consider it a condensed version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy as the two designers go on the road all …

The Nemesis episode of The Fugitive is one of those I really like a lot. We meet Lt. Gerard’s son, Phil, Jr. The two have been driving back home from taking Gerard’s mother home when the police detective gets word that Richard Kimball has been spotted …

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Thirty Hours is one of the better episodes of this animal adventure series. It has a lot of basic hurt-comfort elements to it, and that’s a style of TV show I tend to enjoy, even I don’t like the series overall.
On the plus side …

Diagnosis Murder: Mind Over Murder opens with a psychic television show that has one of them suddenly bursting out of her seat and landing in the hospital. Meanwhile at the hospital, Norman (Michael Tucci) is back, showing off pictures of his trip. The pictures aren’t the things …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Gabe Kaplan was another one of the famous roast shows that Martin’s variety show evolved into for a while. Kaplan, of the series Welcome Back Kotter, was the Man of the Hour before the usual Las Vegas audience. I’m not a big …

Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 7 doesn’t disappoint. It continues the shrewd progression of former teen stars on their quest for a comeback. Some are still fighting the ‘new’ Hollywood, but others are truly embracing what they need to do to succeed.
Billy Hufsey, of Fame …

For all intents and purposes, M*A*S*H: Hawkeye is a one-man soliloquy as Hawkeye Pierce, traveling alone in a jeep, swerves to avoid hitting some Korean children and ends up turning over the vehicle and getting a bad hit in the head. Realizing that he might have a concussion …

Season three of Stargate SG-1 ends with the first of a two-part that sadly indicates a shift in the show that ultimately began its downhill slide. Many fans consider the first three years of the show to be the vintage years. Sadly, I agree with them.
The unfortunate …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Death Watch, episode 9 from season 3, stars Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. Crane was always my favorite as I just adored Hedison. He certainly had the look, voice, and demeanor to …

It amazes me how Sam Waterston of Law & Order regular show can play the District Attorney Jack McCoy so well but what is even more amazing is that he plays the same character in Law &Order Criminal Intent and Law & Order Special Victims Unit. Just to …

The threat of an Indian uprising is at the focus of Laramie: The Pass. In fact, things are so bad that Jonesy takes Andy into town for safety. Meanwhile, Jess and Slim head off to assist the military. This is about the only time the two …

I got done with work early yesterday (family thing yesterday afternoon) and, since I had some free time before we had to leave, I ended up watching part of a Destination Truth marathon on TV. One of the episodes was from an earlier season and I hadn’t seen it …

I enjoyed the early portion of A Taste for Death - Part 5. I liked the opening, out on the lake, in the rowboat. Some of the outdoor scenes in this taped production are the best. This mystery continues with Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) still …

When the movie Jeepers Creepers came out a few years ago, I thought it was one of the better horror movies I’ve seen. In fact, I haven’t seen the movie in quite some time but can still remember pretty much the entire thing; a sign of a good movie.
I …

Ba Sing Se is under siege and it’s up to the newly named Team Avatar (that is much easier to type out than “Aang and crew”) to stop it. The King thinks he has the situation under control, sending out a platoon of his best troops, but Ty …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Defector is an episode that is a real treat to watch. For one, it features one of my absolute favorite musical pieces from the show: the Romulan theme. It is an intense and excellently composed piece of music that we sadly hear …

I know, I know. ER is probably one of the most unrealistic shows out there, but after all of these seasons, I still can’t help but to watch it on Thursday nights. The characters are so intriguing, the themes are always original and unique, and it is …

I was watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter this morning and was watching an episode that was kind of funny; “New Digs.”
Basically, Spongebob freaks out because he’s one minute late for work for the first time ever and, after being “punished” by Mr. Krabs, he decides the best way …

I started watching re-runs of Night Court in the mornings again and came across one of the classic Christmas episodes that is very memorable for me “Santa Goes Downtown.”
There are a couple reasons for this.
First, you have the whole “Does Santa really exist” story line that has gotten a …

Mike & Molly: First Date is the second episode of this comedy series that just began in September 2010. I’m not a big fan of today’s comedy crops, but this one showed a hint of promise, so I decided to watch. The show centers on two overweight …

Well, last night was the season 1 finale of the show White Collar. Either that, or it was the fall finale, I’m not really sure. Either way, it was pretty decent.
Basically, you have Neil being framed for robbing a jewelry store and, since there is no proof he didn’t …

Star Trek: Albatross is an angst filled episode of this animated series from 1974. It’s a new plot idea and not one taken from the live action series. After assisting a planet by bringing them medical supplies, Kirk is stunned when the aliens take McCoy into custody, …

Emergency!: Emergency! the Wedsworth-Townsend Act is one of my all time joys in the television world. I have loved this movie from its debut decades ago. This was the pilot movie for the Emergency! series which was a mid-season replacement. From Jack Webb’s production company, this …

In 1973, after the live action had been off the air for several years, an animated version of Star Trek hit the Saturday morning lineup.
The plus of this series was that all of the performers from the live action show returned. Having the original actors voice their characters …

There is a new student in Mrs. Puff’s boating school, and his name is Flats. He is a silly looking sea creature, and he gets his name because he actually does look flat. No one really knows a lot about him, and he ends up sitting next to Spongebob …

Even though I am quite an anti-fan of Tila Tequila, I began watching her “Shot at Love” show with somewhat of an open mind.The first
few episodes revealed that her search for love was bisexual, and involved male and female contestants. After watching this and the “competitions”
involved, I decided I …

This episode gives us our first briefing for our Adam-12 boys, Pete Malloy and Jim Reed. Oddly, they aren’t sitting together, but it’s not really important. After the briefing, we get the set up for the show, and it’s a funny one.
Rookie Reed is asked to fill …

I remember back in the early 80’s when Emerald Point N.A.S. was about to air. I was very excited about the series for a number of reasons. My favorite reason for wanting to watch it was Richard Dean Anderson, who played Lt. Simon Adams. He sure looked …

It’s the final ride for Bruce Campbell, Julius Carry, and Christian Clemenson as The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: High Treason: Part 2 concludes the single season run of this series. A mix of adventure, science fiction, action, drama, romance, and just about everything else, this TV program …

While Joe Flynn, most famous on television for portrayal Captain Binghamton on McHale’s Navy, is a fine actor, his performance in That Girl: An Uncle Herbert for All Seasons left me a little flat. I doubt that it was totally Flynn’s fault. It was the character that …

First things first, in regards to the theme song (which I’m still digging). The group is from Britain, they aren’t American like I said in the review for the first episode. Ok, on to the review.
This show manages to go back and forth between nonsensical and downright …

One by one, the producers are getting around to everyone having a chance to do a letter home show, and this time around, M*A*S*H: Dear Ma is Radar O’Reilly’s turn to pen a letter to his much beloved mother. Gary Burghoff follows the letter throughout the show. …

Halfway through its second season, Star Trek aired The Gamesters of Triskelion in which Kirk, Uhura, and Chekhov are taken from the Enterprise to Triskelion where they are enslaved as thralls, forced to fight for the amusement of their captors.
I can’t say much about the costumes in this arena …

I still like the television series Monk. But, either I’m becoming a better detective myself or the show is becoming extremely predictable with easy-to-solve cases.
Mr. Monk Buys a House, the newest episode, is a good example of this.
From the first minutes of the show, we know who is killed …

I had always been meaning to sit down and watch the television show Supernatural - I had heard such good things about it and now that I finally have I will be one of those people telling others how great the show is.
Supernatural focuses on the relationship between two …

Dr. Phil Show
I must warn you, this show is truly addictive. It might solve your problems, but it might turn you into a hopeless couch potato who prefers to sit down all day and solve life’s problems instead of causing the usual trouble.
In this show Dr. Philip McGraw is …

File this one under weird and move on to the next. Actually, to be honest, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Haunting of the New isn’t the worst of these that I’ve seen, but at the same time, this episode from the science fiction series third year is …

Have you ever watched Friends Episode featuring Winona Ryder? I must say that Winona’s acting in this episode is pretty convincing for a so-called indirect lesbian.
Of course, during the first part of the scene episode, when you watch, you would not realize that she is a lesbian and …

The August 22, 2010 episode of Big Brother dealt mainly with the weekly nominations. With Britney as the head of household, just about anything could have happened.
The competition to see who were the haves and who were the have nots was fun. It divided the six competing …

Last night’s new episode of The Simpsons “Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words” probably wasn’t as funny as I expected it to be. However, I’m going to give it points for creativity.
The episode starts out with Homer starting a business where he helps couples break up. This storyline was …

Gotham is a new TV show on Fox that I have given into the hype and decided to watch. I had heard about it while browsing one evening online. I figured I would give it a chance. I will be honest and say that I am a batman fan. …

Another week of musical performances, and I’m going to start with Adam Lambert. Now, the guy can sing, but it’s Country Week. I don’t really care that he wanted to be true to himself and who he is. It’s Country week, so sing country. It …

My favorite TV series of all time, NCIS is on its seventh season this fall 2009. I discovered this show while watching re-runs of American shows in a government-owned television channel in the Philippines. I was hooked from the first time I watched it, and from then I …
