It’s time for the enlisted men to be considered for promotion in M*A*S*H: Promotion Commotion from season 10. Reviewing their records this time around are Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell), and Charles Winchester (David Ogden Stiers). It is pretty funny to see the enlisted …

I knew when I was starting to mature because on a Thursday night I began to watch Question Time on BBC 1 on a Thursday evening. I think I enjoy watching it because I know that the next day is Friday, but you have to give this show a …

The Andy Griffith Show: A Black Day for Mayberry , from November 1963 and a fourth year episode, is so funny, and it’s all because of Don Knotts, who plays that dopey and crazy, though well intentioned, Barney Fife. Poor Barney just wants to be important and be …

This is a series that I am really glad to have picked up on. I am currently watching season 2 of Dexter because season one enticed me to keep it on my Netflix DVD queue. The show introduces you to its main character: Dexter Morgan. He is …

Monday night’s episode of Heroes brought us to a conclusion of the current storyline and the Villains storyline. I thought it was a good idea to end the storyline at this point rather than dragging it out through the second half of the season. The show was …

It’s hard to believe that a gaggle of beautiful women are so desperate to attract the attentions of an aging rock-and-roller that they would put themselves through all types of humiliation. Apparently, though, it is true, as evidenced by VH-1’s reality show “Rock of Love.” In each episode, …

Even after well over a decade since it was last on our screens, apart from a rather badly conceived “Back to Earth” special shown in 2009, Red Dwarf remains - at least as far as I am concerned - the greatest of all science fiction sitcoms. The BBC stuck …

This was one of the darker episodes of the series and considering that the show is based on a Stephen King novel, I think that’s saying a lot. The episode starts with Johnny and Bruce driving down the road and listening to the radio. A local shock jock is …

Here Come the Brides: A Crying Need is the second episode of this western family drama. Now that the Bolt Brothers have managed to bring 100 brides from New Bedford to Seattle to marry their lumberjacks, the woman insist that Jason bring a doctor to Seattle. Faced …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Conspiracy is an episode that came late in season one and, while enjoyable and certainly commendable for doing something quite different from standard Star Trek fare, has a few glaring plot holes here and there that make the story a little less enjoyable …

I don’t care much for Diagnosis Murder: Witness to Murder. There are some nice scenes with Dick Van Dyke as Dr. Mark Sloan trying to help a little girl named Blair who has been abused and doesn’t speak. He reaches her a little through drawing and such. …

I recently had the chance to watch the five episodes of the Manga-like action Anime titled Afro Samurai, and must admit it was one of the best anime I have seen for a long time now.
The story evolves under a Japanese Tech setting, whilst at the same time, a …

I tend to like watching certain genres of Japanese animation especially if I feel that they have a very interesting plot and characters, but for some reason I find many of those hard to encounter these days, especially when it comes to new anime. Therefore, what I did was …

Smallville is one of my personal favourite shows of all time, and I don’t mind watching the show over and over again. This show tells the perfect story of the early years of Superman Clark Kent. In his teenage life he has to balance his powers, his family, school, …

I love the opening of The Sanctuary, which is the 33rd episode of the sixth and final season of Have Gun - Will Travel. There’s a rather smug man named Captain Zimmerman who is playing a round of chess with several men at the same time. He’s …

I don’t like watching The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, not because the show is bad, but because it’s so accurate. The show is very well done and has some very believable acting within it. I just hate seeing the harshness of man …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Manhunt is another solid outing for the first season of this wonderful family television series. It’s a bit of a face off between this small town of Mayberry, its sheriff and his deputy, and the bigger state police of North Carolina and the …

Til Death is a cool show. It’s a half hour sitcom about a couple who have been together a long time. They are set in their ways and the first couple of seasons focus on the young newlywed couple next door and their differences. The later …

When I was a child, I just love to watch Superman, and till now I love to watch him. And this TV show called “Smallville” is based upon the day today life story of Superman. Watching his normal life is really cool, and I am watching this series from …

“Customer Survey” is the seventh episode of season five of The Office on NBC. This episode deals with the aftermath of Holly being reassigned and also delves into how the sales department is reviewed, based on customer reviews. This allows Dwight and Jim the chance to team up …

“The Visitors” is an episode of “The Jeffersons”. In this episode, the audience gets to meet both Florence’s mother and father. First, Florence’s mother shows up at the Jeffersons’ apartment, much to the surprise of everyone, including Florence, but another surprise soon hits, and it’s one that shocks Florence …

It’s a show about romance and misunderstandings, along with Barney’s normal over confidence. That’s what The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt from May 1964 deals with. I actually love the opening scene where Barney and Thelma Lou are window shopping, essentially talking about their …

Of the 39 episodes filmed of this children’s show, The Robot Freighter Mystery is one of the few that I don’t react to with lots of love. Fireball XL5 is just awesome as a series. Some of the stories have been very dramatic and realistic in their …

In this episode, Dr. Murdock is trying to wean the five vampires off of blood, but it doesn’t help when the shipment of blood he ordered turns out to be nothing more than placebo blood.
Drew still feels drawn to Sherry, as Merrill harbors her own secret love for Drew …

I have never been a fan of anything that features zombie. But I happened to watch High School of the Dead because I want to watch something new in the world of anime and zombies in anime are not as scary as the “real” zombies in movies or TV …

This was the first episode in the 8th season (1970) of BBC’s Doctor Who and the first season broadcast in color and the first episode featuring the brilliant Jon Pertwee in the role of The Doctor.
The Doctor joins the crew of UNIT (United Nations Intelligence Task Force) to aid …

“What’s My Line” was a game show in the 1950’s and 60’s. A panel tried to guess the occupation of different contestants by asking yes or no questions. If they answered no to ten questions without the panel guessing, the contestant won. There was also a …

Justice League Unlimited slipped under my radar when it first came out but after watching Initiation I certainly want to see more of it. This episode focuses on four of the Justice Leaguers, Green Arrow, Captain Atom, Super girl and The Green Lantern.
The Green Arrow is the main character, …

When I first heard that Addison from Grey’s Anatomy was going to get her own show I was pretty excited. I really like Kate Walsh and the character Addison so when Private Practice started screening I watched.
It’s different, it’s not a blatant rip off of Grey’s Anatomy although …

OK, I’ll admit the Simpsons episode The Frying Game was both interesting and funny.
I’m not sure where to begin with this one. You have Homer being sentenced to community service because he accidentally injures a rare screaming caterpillar. And, during his meals on wheels work, comes across a rich …

Synopsis: Patrick’s older sister Sam comes for a visit and her temper causes a war with both Squidward and Spongebob.
What I liked about this episode: I wasn’t sure I was going to like this one at first but it turned out to be a surprisingly funny episode. Sam loves …

Life Beyond Trek: William Shatner began with Shatner’s love of horses. I’ve known for years and years that he loved the equestrian way of life. I’ve seen him on talk shows and such discussing it and on other shows where he did some of what we saw …

As the time at hand under goes an critical stage, what are the thoughts of the pure child who accept this to be the blistering reality about him? Or is all just a fabrication of an corrupted mind, crying out from beneath its own sins. All thing have an …

From November 1961, Have Gun - Will Travel: Ben Jalisco features Charles Bronson as the title character of Ben Jalisco, a convicted murderer who escapes from prison. Paladin (Richard Boone) was responsible for bringing Jalisco in, based on information given to him by his wife, Lucy (Coleen Gray).
Before …

What can I say about Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Best of Enemies? Not much that is good, that’s for sure. This adventure series continues to be sub-par. Star Bruce Boxleitner didn’t have enough sparkle to keep the show dazzling along, and the co-stars were almost …

Well, I have to say this about Ghost Hunters Academy; they really don’t have a whole lot of episodes. The show just came on the air not that long ago and they had the season finale last night.
The finale itself wasn’t too bad, the remaining three cadets got to …

MacGyver: The Negotiator has Mac doing a wildlife survey for a proposed marina. Believing MacGyver’s survey will stop the project, the villainous Mr. Knapp, played aptly by the always good David Ackroyd, hires a beautiful woman to convince MacGyver to give a positive report, or kill him to …

Harper’s Island is a new show on CBS that follows the events taking place around a wedding party that has come to the island. The island itself has quite a gruesome history; years ago a serial killer did away with several of the residents including the mother …

“Infamous” is the episode of Smallville originally airing on March 12, 2009. This episode had Clark revealing his true identity to the world in an attempt to prevent the sleazy reporter Linda Lake from being the first to reveal his powers.
Pros: That was one of those “what …

Due South: Say Amen is a story that has been done before, in western genres and all other types of dramas. That said, it’s still fairly well done and is entertaining.
The one thing that really makes no sense, though, concerns the character of Inspector Meg Thatcher. We …

This episode has some action in it, but not a lot, and it certainly is not very exciting. Despite the fact that we have seen very little of Rock Lee in the previous episodes, everything we have seen points at him as being quite powerful, but he is nothing …

“A New Enemy Appears: Nephrite’s Evil Crest” is the fourteenth episode of the Sailor Moon series and picks up where the previous episode concluded. At the end of the last episode, Nephrite, Jadeite’s replacement, was briefly shown, and at the start of this episode, he is fully introduced. I …

Just when we thought the evil John Bly was gone, he’s back in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Bye Bly. Big time groan. As played by Billy Drago, he just is one weird looking bad guy. However, this is the show that gives us a …

Emergency!: Cook’s Tour is a fun little show. When I watch it, it’s not really any one story that stands out, but it’s more the feel of the firehouse that is the heart of the show. Fire department cooking is almost legendary, and this show deals with …

After the tragedy of Apollo One, things around NASA were a little shaky. This is shown throughout From the Earth to the Moon - Part 3: We Have Cleared the Tower when preparations are underway for the Apollo 7 mission. The mission commander was Wally Schirra, played …

I cry every time, every single time I watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and I’ve watched it hundreds of times over the decades. I own the video and I rarely miss it when it airs on TV. What a classic, and one that pulls at your heart …

The first thing I noticed about MacGyver: The Escape, which is the twentieth episode of the first season is that we’re heading towards the infamous mullet hairdo. Richard Dean Anderson’s hair is dramatically longer here than in the previous episode, so there clearly was no visit to the …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Crowbait wasn’t all that exciting to watch. Richard Boone stars as Paladin in this half-hour western, and in going back and watching these black and white shows again, I’ve learned that some are amazingly forward thinking and fun to watch and others are …

Shark Week is a series of nature specials on sharks that airs every year on the Discovery Channel. Every year, five or six different episodes of nature shows on sharks make up this collection of programs. This particular episode, how not to become shark bait, focuses on …
