From January 1963, viewers were presented with The Twilight Zone: He’s Alive, and frankly, I don’t even know what to say about it. I don’t like it, and I never have. It’s unpleasant to watch, and while there is a message, I just don’t care to wait …

I first stumbled across Ghost Whisperer late into its first season when I quit a …

Season four of Stargate SG-1 continues with an intriguing episode called The Curse. It guest stars a beautiful British actress named Anna-Louise Plowman. For some reason, a good majority of the guest stars, especially the Goa’uld, are British. They say it’s never been intentional, but it …

Star Trek: The Deadly Years is another one of my favorite shows. The reason is that I love those dramatic moments of loyalty and belief. There is nothing quite like seeing the reaction of the bridge crew when James T. Kirk sets foot on the bridge. …

Where the last episode was a highly enjoyable piece of light-hearted fluff, this episode goes for an epic blockbuster level of story. The entire world is in danger and the threat is on par with Gozer himself. Heck, this one might actually outdo Gozer on some levels. …

I had a chance to catch a re-run of Hogan’s Heroes while at home for lunch today; “Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up.”
I came in a bit late to see the first few minutes of the episode so, in all honesty, I can’t tell you exactly what was …

The Virginian: The Masquerade, a sixth season episode, was one I found to be quite delightful. It was pretty lighthearted versus the serious tone of so many of these 90 minute episodes, and it featured David Hartman, who I often enjoy in his portrayals.
Hartman guest stars as well …

The Christophers Present … A Link in the Chain is another show I just stumbled upon while searching out something new. I’m just tired of the junk we see on TV these days. I wanted new shows, even if those new shows were decades old, like this …

I’ve said it before, and I may just say it again, but it amazes me how many shows of Highway Patrol revolve around the helicopter. The actual ‘copter’ word is used in numerous titles throughout the series’ run. I suppose in the late 50’s when this show …

Nash Bridges: Gun Play from 1997 had some good things about it that made it worth watching. First of all, there’s star, Don Johnson who plays Nash Bridges. He’s a cop again, just like on Miami Vice, only this time he’s in San Francisco and he’s an …

The Season premier of Laguna Beach, Season Three, was an absolute disappointment. I am not ashamed to say I fell in love with the first two seasons, being swept each season premier. Season three, however, does not show much promise of conflict, or developing relationships that the viewer can …

This episode had the makings of an enjoyable adventure, but for some reason, the pieces just didn’t click with me. We once again have a family member of the Ghostbusters arriving on the scene to stir up some sort of trouble. In this case, it’s Peter’s dad …

So, after watching Shatner’s Raw Nerve for the first time when Leonard Nimoy was on, I kept the show on for another airing, this time with guest Jon Voight. There’s no question Voight is a good actor, but what is at issue is how good of a father …

The Simpsons fall season 09 premiere was highly disappointing. I have been an avid fan of the show since it began 20 years ago. I was anticipating the premiere, wondering what new could be in store.
Dry, dry and boring. It started off somewhat interesting but quickly lost its …

What a change, the actors actually face a survival situation not from man but from space, something that we face everyday. And in m opinion the producer did an excellent job making this episode well thought out. There is one scene that is completely unrealistic, again the Professor uses …

This episode features my all time favorite “Real Ghostbusters” adversary, Samhain, the spirit of Halloween. As such, it should come as no surprise to find that this is one of my favorite episodes overall.

The Twilight Zone: The Dummy is another episode of this science fiction series that doesn’t appeal to me. I tend to turn it off if it comes on TV. All of these shows with ventriloquist dummies all tend to be a little too out there because …

From July 1961, the fourth season of Sea Hunt, came this 27th show of the year called Dark Evil. I like the name here because it really did cover the villain of the show, which was actually a fish which had some deadly chemicals inside of it. …
