There are more character developments in Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 18. Dave is still adamant on his so called revenge and he tries to fast forward his plan so that he could bait Katherine and Mike. Edie isn’t joining their so called upcoming camping trip and right …

Another Ghost Hunters episode and another one where they really don’t find much in terms of evidence of ghosts. The third episode of the series “Lighthouse Inn” was one that wasn’t the most impressive for me.
On one hand, they seemed to at least have some personal experiences both at …

As I mentioned before, my wife and I are watching the first season of the show Ghost Hunters on DVD and watched the second episode, Mishler Theatre, last night.
This episode really wasn’t the most interesting when it comes to paranormal phenomena. They didn’t find any evidence of anything at …

My wife and I are big Ghost Hunters fans so we decided to rent the first season of the show; starting with the first three episodes last night.
The first one, Altoona Tantrum, is a pretty decent episode because you get a feel for the major players in the series, …

Except for a re-editing of the series pilot as a two-part story that followed this show, Hawaii Five-O: The Big Kahuna is the final episode of the first season of this long-lasting crime show. It focuses on a Hawaiian legend, the goddess of fire, Pele. She is seen …

In Week 10 of The Apprentice - UK, the two small teams had to select and sale products on one of Britain’s home shopping networks. Donald Trump has done that in America’s Apprentice, too, so it was a familiar concept. Even though the premise wasn’t new, this …

For Week 9 of The Apprentice - UK, the two teams are assigned to sell subscriptions for a text messaging service at an upcoming football game (for the Americans in the bunch, translate that to soccer). The event will happen at a match that features one of the …

In Week 8 of The Apprentice - UK, the candidates had to become produce manufacturers and sellers, thereby leaving the comfort of London for the countryside. The two teams were told to negotiate with the farmers for some raw produce and then they were to take that produce …

Hawaii Five-O: Six Kilos is another showcase for Jack Lord. So many episodes are nearly solo vehicles for Lord, and this is another one of them. The rest of the cast are relegated to brief moments on the screen as McGarrett checks in with them.
In Six Kilos, McGarrett …

Hawaii Five-O: Not That Much Different focuses on student protestors who confront a foreign official. The man decides to address the protestors and when shots ring out, one of the protestors is killed. At first, the assumption is that the shot was meant for the foreign representative, …

The first season of Hawaii Five-O is offered in slim pack cases, with two disks in each jacket, except for the last one. That’s a total of seven disks. Now I have some concerns about these slim packs because there are some that can actually damage DVDs …

The intensity of the first part of this story continues with Hawaii Five-O: Once Upon a Time: Part II. It’s a few months later, and Steve McGarrett’s nephew has died, earning him the wrath of his sister, Mary Ann. She blames her brother for interfering in what …

Hawaii Five-O: Once Upon a Time: Part I was an enticing tale about Steve McGarrett’s sister, Mary Ann Whalen, whose child is dying from cancer. At the request of his brother-in-law, Tom Whalen, McGarrett flies to Los Angeles and discovers that Mary Ann has become convinced that Dr. …

Hawaii Five-O: Deathwatch continues the debut season of this crime drama, and it begins with the murder of an assistant district attorney right in his office after interrupting a robbery. The murderer wanted the evidence (a handgun) that would save a mobster from being prosecuted.
James Shigeta guest stars …

This episode of Hawaii Five-O is the first time that Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) gets shot. It happens on the beach as he’s out for a job and right after he’s just rescued a little boy from drowning. As McGarrett fights for his life, Danny Williams (James …

Johnny Crawford guest stars as a soldier on leave in Hawaii Five-O: By the Numbers. Crawford is best know for playing Mark McCain on The Rifleman. He had a harder time as he got older to get parts because he was so identifiable as Mark. I …

Along Came Joey is another episode from season one of Hawaii Five-O that I just don’t like all that much, and the reason is that it surrounds boxing, and I’m not a boxing fan. It’s a violent sport, and I don’t enjoy watching people banging on each other, …

Hawaii Five-O: One for the Money is a psychological drama surrounding one family. It’s never been a favorite of mine, but it does have some good acting in it.
Jeanette Nolan guest stars as the wealthy aunt of two men, played by Farley Granger and Paul Collins. Collins …

There’s a huge guest cast in Hawaii Five-O: The Box. Everywhere you turn, there was a familiar face, and that always makes a story more fun in my opinion.
Gerald S. O’Loughlin, Gavin McLeod, R.G. Armstrong, and Al Harrington are a few of the familiar faces in this cast. …

Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon is part medical drama and part spy caper. Combined, Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon just doesn’t do a whole lot for me. I never have liked the opening scene. It sets up the drama naturally enough, but it’s just …

Hawaii Five-O gets into the drug scene with this first season episode called Up Tight. It was only a matter of time before they did an episode on the drug situation considering this show began in the late sixties. The impetus for the story is a young …

Yaphet Kotto guest stars and turns in a brilliant performance in Hawaii Five-O: King of the Hill. In this show, he plays a Vietnam veteran who happens along when Danny Williams (James McArthur) is playing baseball with some others. Kotto gets hit by a ball, and Williams …

My favorite part of Hawaii Five-O: Pray Love Remember, Pray Love Remember is about a third of the way in when McGarrett has a conversation with a young girl named Mioshi. McGarrett’s been investigating a murder at an educational institute and is still searching for clues. While …

I just recently switched from satellite TV to MLB TV thinking it would be more convenient for watching games and I think it was a horrible choice. They released a beta version during spring training and I saw major issues with the connection and video quality that I figured …

Hawaii Five-O: No Blue Skies is another episode with a bit of a musical theme, and I love those. This time it’s Tommy Sands singing in the lounge of a Hawaii nightclub. He’s a fairly good singer, so I enjoyed the sounds a great deal.
Unfortunately, Sands’ character …

Hawaii Five-O: The Ways of Love is about some stolen crown jewels that Steve McGarrett and his Five-O team go after. To do so, McGarrett goes undercover in a California prison. I’ve always remembered this episode because of the cool look McGarrett has. He wears those …

Things get personal for Five-O when one of their team is injured in Hawaii Five-O: Twenty-Four Karat Kill. The team goes after a gold-smuggling outfit that is led by an arrogant man named Johnny Fargo, played convincingly by Kaz Garas. Fargo is very sly and adept, …

Ricardo Montalban guest stars in Hawaii Five-O: Samurai. He’s a crime boss in Hawaii who is being investigated by the grand jury. There’s a lot of mystery going on, including the death of Mary Travis, a witness against him who dies while testifying, and assassins from Japan …

Hawaii Five-O: Tiger by the Tail begins with a young singer performing in a nightclub. Then he gets kidnapped right after the show. The execution of this scene was pretty lame, even for the era. It’s not the plot; it’s just how it was directed …

“Look at that. One day we’ll be strangers in our own land.”
That’s actually the last line of this episode of Hawaii Five-O called, appropriately enough, Strangers in Our Own Land. It all has to do with development and protecting the land. It begins with the murder …

Full Fathom Five was the first regular episode of the Hawaii Five-O dramatic series, and with it came the addition of James McArthur as Danny Williams. What I really like about this first interaction that we see between Danny and Five-O head, Steve McGarrett, is that it’s not …

The pilot for Hawaii Five-O was presented as a movie that aired several days before the regular season began. The show is about the elite state police force of Hawaii, which is called Five-0. The force is led by Steve McGarrett, a no-nonsense and tough man of …

The bad thing about Due South: Call of the Wild: Part 2 is that it separated real Ray Vecchio from Constable Benton Fraser. With Vecchio recovering from being shot, that left Fraser and fake Ray to go after the villain of the piece, and that’s not really what …

As Due South: Call of the Wild: Part 1 opens, Constable Benton Fraser is ice fishing with his father. They talk about something being in the air, something that was going to change things. They’re right, especially since this was the first of a two-parter that ended …

Laramie is my absolute favorite all time TV show. I just love it to pieces. It’s the story of a drifter, Jess Harper, who arrives at the Sherman Ranch and Relay Station near Laramie, Wyoming and finds a home there. It’s a place where he can …

Due South is the story of a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman, Constable Benton Fraser, who travels from the Yukon to Chicago to track down the killer of his father. One thing leads to another and once the case is solved, he ends up staying in Chicago and working at …

From season one of Laramie comes Fugitive Road, a terrific tale that really tugs on the heart from the conflict involved. The magic of Laramie is the relationship between the two friends, Jess (Robert Fuller) and Slim (John Smith). These two are as different as night and …

Laramie: Glory Road is the second wonderful episode of this western TV series. Nanette Fabray and Eddie Albert guest star. Fabray plays the upbeat spiritualist Essie Bright, who travels the land preaching. En route to Laramie, her pianist is injured and Roney Bishop (Albert) volunteers to …

Laramie: The Lawbreakers is a really entertaining episode with some neat humor in it. It all surrounds Judge Barnaby Cade, a convicted robber about to be released from jail. Years ago, his gang got away with a lot of money that has never been found. The …

The Star Trail is the first episode of Laramie that takes one of the characters away to another place, and in this case, it’s Jess Harper (Robert Fuller). He’s in Rock Springs, and he gets drawn into a situation where he goes to work for Sheriff Tully Hatch …

I absolutely adore the General Delivery episode of Laramie. It’s the first show that Rod Cameron guest starred in, and each of his episodes were gems. Cameron is a dynamic actor, and he brings quality to all of his portrayals.
In Laramie: General Delivery, Ed Calder is a …

The premise behind Hawaii Five-O: …And They Painted Daisies on His Coffin is that while off-duty, Danny Williams (James McArthur) chases a suspect and ends up shooting him. However, the gun he claims the man has isn’t there, so Williams is accused of a killing him. Thus, …

Due South: Mojo Rising was big on voodoo, and those shows aren’t my favorites to watch, regardless of the show. I’m not sure what the fascination is with this type of show, but sooner or later, it seems like every dramatic show on the air does some show …

The best thing about Due South: A Likely Story is the story that Constable Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) tells both in the first and the last scenes. Gross is a good storyteller, and I understand that he’s a folk singer of some sort, so that may explain why …

Due South: Odds features Stephanie Romanov as a poker player named Denny Scarpa. Romanov is a lovely woman. In fact, she starred as Jacqueline Kennedy in Thirteen Days. Here, Scarpa’s card playing is called into question and is being staked out by Constable Fraser, the fake …

The season continues with Due South: The Ladies’ Man, and overall, I wasn’t that impressed. However, there were a couple of cute moments that I enjoyed.
One such scene was when Constable Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) went with his partner to a prison. A prisoner comes up to …

The allure of Due South: Easy Money is the flashbacks they show of Constable Fraser as a 12-year-old boy in Canada. He had run away from home because he wasn’t allowed to hunt. His friends were all hunting by that point, and he felt he had a …

Technically, this is season two of the second evolution of Due South, or you could call it season four of Due South as a totality, or you could do what the DVD set does and just combine the last 13 episodes with these next few and call it the …

Due South: Mountie on the Bounty: Part 2 picks up where Part 1 left off. With the freighter that Fraser and fake Ray are on in jeopardy, Fraser is trying to rescue the other man. Whereas Part 1 had a little salute to Butch Cassidy and the …

This was the best opening for Due South in a long time. I was laughing out loud. I recognized what they were doing right off the bat. Mountie Fraser and Fake Detective Vecchio were trying to get away from some bad guys when they were stuck …
