Kids’ Stuff is the fifth episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. As you could imagine from the title, yes this episode involves four of the Justice Leaguers being turned into children. Surprisingly, the episode manages to be wildly entertaining and funny and avoids the curse that …

The eighth episode of Richard Dean Anderson’s Legend TV series is called Bone of Contention, and apparently Pratt (Anderson) does sometimes get the girl, since that’s how the show opens. Actually, it’s a nice bit where Pratt is visualizing the climax of one of his novels. This …

When it comes to season finales, or at least summer finales, you think the show Monk would leave its best episode for last, in an effort to keep you wanting more.
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized is not one of the best episodes I’ve seen.
Really, nothing about this episode is unique …

The season, as well as Eccleston’s run as the Doctor, wraps up as the Dalek’s plan to wipe out all life on Earth. As one Dalek was a formidable threat, thousands of them are a bit beyond problematic, even Rose points this out early on.
Just as one Dalek …

The Amazing Race took the teams to India once again. Watching the reactions to this country is always emotional. In particular, it was Luke who had the most dramatic and emotional reaction. It’s hard seeing kids eating garbage and running around naked. His tears were …

Fame: Metamorphosis is the premier of the musical dancing television series which was based on a hit movie. I recall at the time being a little put off by star Debbie Allen’s comments on The Tonight Show that they’d found an even better Coco Hernandez than Irene Cara …

I recently began watching ESPN First Take, and I must say it is quickly becoming one of my favorite television programs to watch. Steven A. Smith and Skip Bayless make the show tick. They both provide unique commentary about the day’s most popular sports topics, and on occasion …

The Twilight Zone is a classic television series that has seen many incarnations, but the old ones are the best. The show featured a collection of tales that concerned the supernatural. Often there was a twist ending and a lesson to be learned from each of them. This …

I would dub this Power of Veto episode of Big Brother the Rachel Meltdown and Brendon Bad Boy Hour. The show aired on August 11, 2010, and it was just pitiful to watch. If it weren’t for the fact that I was writing reviews, I wouldn’t be …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 8 begins with one of Kusanagi’s friends; Kurutan calls her to help her with the mysterious circumstances of a heart transplant for a six year old girl. Section 9 investigates it because it has ties to the black market.

The Maalaala Mo Kaya Episode of Cherry Pie and Sarah Geronimo, I think is one of Sarah’s best performances in her acting career. The story was about a family of 3, her mother her and his older brother who has to always move home because they are not able …

I’ll freely admit I am a wrestling fan. I know it is scripted and out comes are predetermined, but you still have to give credit to the wrestlers who pull off the moves in a safe and entertaining way. Lately though TNA Total Non-stop Action on Spike TV has …

I have watched Season One of Dawson’s Creek and am on the second epi of Season Two. I don’t know why I’m writing this review because I almost have no opinion; I’m not sucked into the show yet like I feel I should be. The writing is good, the …

Lisa Jane Persky gets a chance to shine in Private Eye: High Heels and Silver Wings from 1987. Persky was a regular on this detective drama that didn’t last more than a half-season, and her part was that of the wacky, daffy, wannabe starlet that is very stereotypical …

Once again, I spent my Wednesday night watching three shows and Destination Truth ended up being the most entertaining of the three.

The first case was an investigation of the ghost town around where the Chernobyl Power Plant had its …

Star Trek: Enterprise - These are the Voyages… is the final episode of the fifth Star Trek series and the final episode of Star Trek’s nearly twenty year run on television. From 1987 to 2005, there was always a Star Trek series or two running, but 2005 ended that …

The Christmas Visitor, which was a cartoon production from the golden age by Halas and Batchelor, was a variation on the telling of the classic A Night Before Christmas. The color offering actually begins very classically in this regard, with the narration right from the very familiar story.
It’s …

Emerald Point N.A.S., the 11th of 22 episodes, has some odd reactions in it compared to the attitudes we’ve seen in previous episodes.
Celia Mallory (Susan Dey) didn’t want to be connected to the Navy, yet she dumps her husband Jack Warren (Charles Frank) for Simon Adams (Richard Dean Anderson), …

Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana isn’t really a favorite episode of this series for me, but it still has some good moments. Dick Van Dyke is so good that he takes the mediocre and makes it worth watching. In this first season outing, Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan checks …

Gossip Girl is a television show that airs on the CW. It’s a show that is much talked about and yet lacking in ratings which made me question whether the show was good or had a cult following. In my opinion I think it is a good …

I just adore Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided for several reasons. The first is that this is one of those shows where just about every regular has their moment. It’s not easy to do that in an ensemble show like this one, but it’s …

OH. MY. WORD!!!! If you haven’t seen this series yet, you are definitely missing out! I suggest you immediately find it and watch it! Zoo is a 2015 TV series based on the James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge book of the same title. I would describe this series as an …

Masquerade: The Defector was a solid episode for this spy drama from January 1984. Rod Taylor stars as an operative for the National Intelligence Agency and he often recruits everyday citizens to get assignments done. These Americans all have some unique or special skill that makes them …

Family Guy returns with the latest instalment in the Stewie and Brian centric “Road to..” episodes, with mixed success.
Usually, the “Road to…” episodes have always been great, especially the more recent ones. Brian and Stewie are unmatchable combination and the writing is usually on top form. However, this one …

While Soon-Tek Oh is an incredible actor and does his normal terrific job in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Warlord, it’s not enough to carry this show; at least, not for me. In this episode, Oh plays Yataki, the warlord, and he does a good job, as always. …

The fifth show of the fifth season of Have Gun - Will Travel, A Proof of Love, has Charles Bronson in a nice guy role. In fact, he’s a mama’s boy. Bronson has been in several outings of this western series, and some I’ve liked better than …

One of the fun things about Stargate SG-1: Covenant is that it guest stars Charles Shaughnessy as Alec Colson, a wealthy businessman who is a believer in the public knowing the truth, and while he may not fully know the truth, he knows it’s out there. I love …

From season two, The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee’s Brief Encounter focuses on Frances Bavier’s character of Aunt Bee Taylor. She becomes very fond of a handyman named Henry Wheeler. He’s jovial and fun, and the two senior citizens enjoy spending time together.
There’s just one thing about …

For me, Jeremiah: The Touch felt like a Stargate SG-1 reunion. I realize that shows filmed in Vancouver tend to use the same actors, but sometimes it just reeks of a certain cast. The Touch featured a number of performers who had been on SG-1 and every …

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.
Once again, Straczynski shows that he knows how to craft an amazing episode of …

Well, I thought the show House was finally starting to get things back on track a bit with the episode The Choice. But, then I watched the one called Baggage last night and realized it still hasn’t learned.
I used to watch this show religiously because I loved the medical …

When ABC launched October Road as a mid-season replacement series last year, I was hooked from the very first episode. It starts out approximately ten years ago with two of the main characters in bed saying “goodbye - for now”. It seems young Nick Garrett is heading to …

Originally airing on January 9, 1983, Voyagers!: Buffalo Bill & Annie Oakley Play the Palace is the 12th episode of the series, and it’s a royal one, with a story revolving around Queen Victoria and her daughter; more specifically, who her daughter will marry.
What is so fun about Voyagers! …

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 …

Mariette Hartley portrays the title role in M*A*S*H: Inga. Dr. Inga Halvorsen is a Swedish doctor visiting the 4077th, and Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is immediately fascinated by her. I really love this because it’s not the usual love affair for the chief surgeon. In fact, …

Blue Planet: Seas of Life is a five part documentary series from the BBC which aired on the Animal Planet and Discovery networks. The show was absolutely fascinating. Each segment covers a different aspect of the ocean. There is one on the polar oceans which discusses …

Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 1 is just a sad beginning of the end for this TV favorite. The last two seasons are just not the SG-1 that I love. The introduction of Vala to the cast for the first several episodes is just atrocious, and the shifting …

TV kids programs are full of violenace these days. I watch Cartoon Network channel a lot as I am a mother of kids. There are programs such as “Code Name Kids Next Door” and the “Cramp Twins”, they teach kids bad manners and violence. Other cartton movies contain ghosts …

Kent - He was just awesome. He’s been my favorite throughout the series. He’s the …

I have to say that The Twilight Zone: The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank is not for me. I don’t know why it is that James Best tends to star in so many crazy and offbeat episodes of this science fiction series, but he does. They …

Continuing on with season one of Stargate SG-1, the episode entitled Cor-ai has some fine moments in it.
The one thing that has always confused me about this episode, though, is just why Jack O’Neill is so snarky with Daniel Jackson. The two, along with Sam Carter, spend the …
