I was as excited as any fan for the return of Battlestar Galactica, but I also knew that this first episode wasn’t likely to be a fun episode. That isn’t to say that it isn’t good, it was an excellent episode, but I can’t say that I enjoyed it.
This …

There’s a small problem with the continuity of That Girl: Fly by Night in terms of Ann flying. She acts petrified from the beginning, but she’s been on planes to California at least twice and to Las Vegas, which was just this season. She also went …

Who would have thought that a show about a family of undertakers would be so wildly successful. Six Feet Under is truly the one series on HBO that I have been thrilled about renting on Netflix. I am currently watching Season Five, and have come to …

We have been watching episodes of the 1980s series Faerie Tale Theater with our daughter. One of the episodes we watched was Rumpelstiltskin, a book I have read to my daughter but she didn’t remember.
The episode wasn’t too bad. You have Ned Beatty playing the king who insists that …

From season four, a rare two part episode of Have Gun - Will Travel concluded with this show, Quiet Night in Town Part II. The show didn’t have any kind of ’scenes from last week’, so hopefully, viewers remember the plot. It opens with Paladin lying on …

From December 1967, the 12th show of its fourth year, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Blow Up has a new twist for the viewers to enjoy. It’s not exactly the typical ‘body take over’ theme that is so popular in science fiction shows, but it’s more …

I enjoyed Sea Hunt: Monte Cristo quite a bit for several reasons. For one thing, when we saw scenes in the ocean, we saw some of the sea life. It was a little bit more than some of the shows I’ve seen lately.
For another thing, I loved …

I am a big fan of Tudor history, I love the recent historical fiction that has come out and I was really pleased to see that Showtime had made a show about the the Tudors - appropriately named “The Tudors”.
First of all those of you that are history buffs …

Burn Notice: Bad Breaks is a so-so episode in my book. It’s not one that really zings my interest button, but there is some decent acting and a somewhat interesting plot. It might be more fun for regular fans of the show, people who watched it during …

The Good Wife: Breaking Fast gave viewers a little change of pace in a way, and I liked it. For the first time, we got to see some of Alicia Florrick’s family, namely her brother, Owen. Owen’s presence opened up a lot of possibilities and brought some …

Wow, what a great episode. This should have really been the first episode of the season, instead of the Romanian story they actually used in the first episode. It had all the ingredients to make an electrifying show.
In this episode, a wealthy software developer is kidnapped while exiting a …

“Black Water” was one of my favorite episode of NCIS. After all, it was trademark NCIS - it had a little humor, a little action, an interesting case to try and solve and a lot of team interaction. The perfect mix and what made NCIS the number …

This episode doesn’t have a “previously on” segment. I kind of got used to those recaps and not having it there was pretty jarring.
The group comes across a group of nomads who are oddly reminiscent of hippies. They wander the earth, singing songs, and telling stories. …

You might notice that the main guest star is this episode looks slightly familiar, and that’s because he once played the father on “Family Ties”. This is actually the first time the show utilized a special guest star similar to the other shows in the Law and Order franchise. …

I haven’t been able to watch the show Hogan’s Heroes on TV Land recently but finally got a chance to watch an episode of it today. And, it turned out to be an episode I hadn’t seen before; “The Well.”
Overall, I feel this episode is one of the better …

Alex Haley’s Queen was my first exposure to any of Alex Haley’s work. The mini-series appeared on television in the early 90s, and even though Halle Berry had been a working actress prior to landing the leading role in the mini-series, I think it was her first breakout role …

In my last review for the episode called Ethon of Stargate SG-1, I mentioned that one of the reasons that shows in the final two seasons of the series were poor was because of the lack of attention to SG-1 as a result of the powers that be working …

This is a fun show that I think I learn a lot from. While a lot of the advice is not necessarily applicable to my life, it’s interesting to see what other people have done and what the solution is.
There is of course a certain sense of humour …

Concluding the three part extravaganza, this episode manages to maintain all of the things that worked about the previous episode, while toning down on the stuff that didn’t. The pseudo-philosophical narration is still here, but it doesn’t play as large a part as it did when Mulder was …

It’s another story about Mars, a planet that science fiction author Ray Bradbury loves to write about. This is the second story within just a few weeks that has a Martian theme and there’s another one within a few weeks forward. From January 1992, the show and …

That Girl: Gone A-Courtin’ once again has Seymour as Ann Marie’s agent. This is probably my number one pet peeve about That Girl, the rotating agent that flip flops from being the mostly unseen Seymour and then a guest starring agent that serves some comedic purpose in the …

Emergency! is an astounding, groundbreaking TV series that aired on NBC beginning in 1972. The show’s star was Robert Fuller. Now this is offbeat casting, but that’s how Jack Webb wanted. Webb loved to go for things that were different and having cowboy veteran performer Fuller …

I’m a sucker for horror movies and have been ever since I can remember. I started watching some horror movies that would frighten most adults in the worst way before I reached age five, and had read most of Stephen King’s novels by the time I was eleven. Therefore, …

These days you can watch the news on TV 24/7 if you’d like and you can find all kinds of different opinions and points of view depending on the show and the network you choose to watch. Also, these days you can get pretty depressed from watching the news; …

Another season seven story of Wagon Train was The Andrew Elliott Story, starring Dick Sargent of Bewitched fame as the title character. Interestingly, he’s only seen in flashbacks.
The focus on The Andrew Elliott Story is on Duke Shannon (Scott Miller, or Denny Miller as he is more well …

There’s some excitement in Death of an Expert Witness - Part 5 as Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) continues the search for a murderer. However, as always happens in P.D. James novels that are turned into TV series, there’s never just one murder. Death breeds death …

From the first time I laid my eyes on a South Park episode I was instantly hooked! Seven years later I am sure not to miss a single episode of the latest season, season 12, and cannot help but wonder just how these guys keep coughing up their creative …

I just love it when there is something great to watch on a Sunday night as the thought of having to go back to work the next day can be pretty depressing. Last Sunday I happened to catch the beginning of a new three-part series on BBC1 at …

When Thriller: A Third for Pinochle began, I had visions of this show being a copy of Arsenic and Old Lace, but it wasn’t. Certainly, it had some of that attitude and feel because of the two elderly sisters featured in the hour long drama, but there’s really …

The Return is the seventh episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. This is pretty good episode featuring dozens of the Justice Leaguers, including many we rarely see, uniting against a threat of unimaginable power. After six episodes focusing on smaller groups of heroes, it was nice to …

I had never watched any of Austin Stevens shows before, however I watched one of his episodes- In search of the Great Anaconda, and I was so impressed by this guy.

Like I’ve said many many times before, I love Ellen…no not like Portia loves Ellen…just regular love for Ellen. Yesterday, her guest was no other than the jeans shorts wearing , butterfly goddess Mariah Carey, no, she didn’t wear jeans shorts to show! And as per usual, Ellen manages …

What I first noticed about this episode is how completely the producer and screen writer can thoroughly turn people’s lives upside down, and they do a good job of it here. There is a whole lot of uncertainty throughout the show, uncertainty that causes other problems even the break …
