I have been very disappointed with the Simpsons series lately. Last night’s episode “G.I.” did redeem them a little bit.
The episode, which had Homer enlisting in the Army only to be hunted down as part of a war games exercise, brought the show back to its political satire roots.
It …

The Phoenix brings the X-Men to the Shi’ar ship with the M’Kraan crystal.
Unfortunately, space pirates board the ship, steal the crystal and take Cyclops hostage. Being a comic fan, I know that Corsair is Cyclops’ father, and it’s revealed in this episode through Phoenix’s telepathy, but …

Star Trek’s third and final season begins with a dramatic outing called Spock’s Brain, which begins with a beautiful young woman popping up on the Enterprise bridge, knocking everyone out, and walking away with Spock’s brain, hence the title of the episode.
I love the scene on the bridge when …

You can probably guess the basics of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: And Baby Makes Three from the title. Right in the middle of a Dixie Cousins performance which Brisco and Bowler are happily watching, Pete Hutter shows up and gives her a baby to watch for …

This episode was based on a really great idea; a robe that makes you walk trough the walls. Isn’t that an interesting artefact? I really find it interesting although I am quite sure it would be used for bad purposes if it existed.
Calaudia, the girl who kidnapped Artie in …

Last night’s final Project Runway challenge was somewhat entertaining. The designers were taken to an art museum and told to create an outfit based on something they were inspired by. This ended up being everything from an old bed to moss on a fountain outside.
I have to tell you …

I have been a customer of Comcast Cable off and on for roughly the last 7 years or so, dependent upon what deals they are currently offering. In the past, I have had no real complaints with the service other than the fact that their rates tended to …

It’s official, I absolutely love the second season. Season 2 of “The Two Coreys” is to Season 1 what “The Godfather, Part II” is to “The Godfather”. The title of this episode, “Intervention”, is exactly what it’s about. This one delves deep into Corey Haim who finds himself in …

A holiday show, Due South: Good for the Soul is pretty good. It has humor, drama, and poignancy. While shopping in the mall for Christmas presents, Constable Benton Fraser arrests a mob boss for slapping a bus boy in one of the mall restaurants. He really …

I was quite surprised, and pleased, to see that Lisa Niemi returned as reporter Janie Crane in Max Headroom: The Blanks. After having virtually no lines in the prior show called War, in The Blanks she actually does get some decent dialog. I had no clue she …

Let me tell you about the best T.V. series that has ever existed. First of all, Doctor Who is, as you could call it, ancient. It is either one of the first or actually the first science fiction series of all time. The main character is an alien that …

From July 2010, In Performance at the White House: A Broadway Celebration was held in such a small room (the famed East Room) with so many people crowded into it that sometimes it’s distracting. The stage is tiny, too. The edited program began with President Barack Obama …

From April 2004, Scott Bryce returns as Stan the Republican in Whoopi: Strange Bedfellows. This is Bryce’s second appearance on the half hour, NBC comedy that stars Whoopi Goldberg as Mavis Rae, the owner of Hotel Lamont. The half-hour show centers around two different plots.
First, there is …

Scrubs has, over been the years, become one of the most variable shows on television. The first three seasons are, in my opinion, some of the best seasons for any television show ever made, effectively blending wit, gut splitting humor, and enough raw emotion to, at times, completely cut …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Invaders is the 20th show of this fun television series from the mid-sixties which stars Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. Robert Duvall (using just one ‘L’ in his name back then) was the primary …

Season four of MacGyver has turned out to be the season without the Phoenix Foundation, or so it seems. The first three thus far have had Mac on the road, but at least they aren’t do dead animal stories. Actually, this episode, which is called The Outsiders, …

Every day at one in the afternoon As the World Turns is on my television. It’s a habit of mine to watch this show, has been for years. It hasn’t had any of the dramatic story lines that border on Science fiction like some of the other shows on …

I am awaiting the start of the ninth season of Dancing with the Stars with bated breath. I first followed this reality dance show, which features a professional ballroom dancer teaming up with a celebrity to do ballroom dancing, when I watched Mel B and Maksim Chmerkovskiy dance the …

I haven’t watched the Show American Dad in some time now and don’t remember a whole lot about each of the characters. But, there wasn’t much on TV last night so I figured I would take the time to watch Rapture’s Delight.
It was an OK episode, but I feel …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Love’s Young Dream featured Gunsmoke’s Ken Curtis as a colorful character named Monk. Of course, this was before Curtis made that jump on Gunsmoke. He’s a hoot in this bit, but I kept waiting for him to call Paladin, “Mr. Dillon” or …

If you’ve read my reviews before, you know that one of the themes of TV shows that I don’t like are ones that focus on any kind of hand to hand fighting, such as boxing. These stories do not appeal to me. I tune out early and …

The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew is one of those shows that blends television with the surreal, not just as the theme for a series but for the half-hour drama being watched. It stars Larry Blyden as the title character. He’s a western star who likes …

I really enjoyed episode 6 of season 4 of Fringe. I felt that the show has peeled another layer in the story, we got a little deeper into the matter of things. It really compensates for the shallow stories in the first episodes of the new season. But there …

I used to really like this show. But I think after a time, I started wondering how much new stuff I really learned about the people that were featured. Furthermore, it seems like years ago, this program featured people who were actually interesting to me. Everytime …

I have been watching reruns of this TV show (it comes on in the mornings here right before lunch, as well as around midnight), and I have found that I’m really enjoying this show. Sometimes it’s a bit sad, when they don’t find the person or when the person …

When I first saw the description of Monday’s House episode “Private Lives,” I thought it was going to be similar to another episode we have seen on the show, where a person uses the internet to get an alternative diagnosis.
As it turns out, it was a pretty interesting episode.
The …

Wagon Train: The Jess Macabee Story is pretty funny. The emphasis is on Robert Horton’s character of Flint McCullough who has gone ahead of the wagon train to try and find a food supply. He’d been in the area before, but for the first time, he find …

The Fall Guy: The Adventures of Ozzie and Harold is not a favorite episode of mine by any stretch of the imagination. There are a number of reasons for this. First, the opening stunt sequence I don’t find believable, not because of the action, but I just …

I started watching re-runs of the office on TV not to long ago and it is now one of my favorite shows on. The Office is a remake of a popular British show with the same name. The show has a very subtle brand of comedy that not all …
