I used to love watching the Simpsons but no longer watch too many of the newer episodes. Last night’s latest edition, Tree House of Horror XVII reminded me of why.

Since Law & Order SVU wasn’t on last night, I was able to watch the early show of Ghost Hunters as they explored the Mark Twain House in Connecticut. This turned out to be an interesting episode.
For one, they had a lot of personal experiences. Normally, I don’t count …

CSI: New York: Unfriendly Chat started out with a bit that annoyed me because of what was happening. One of the regulars was watching some you tube like connection service where you’re connected by web cam. It was completely inappropriate for a work site, especially for someone …

I first saw this episode of the popular 1990s television series “The X-Files” one night on the cable television channel Sci-Fi. At first I didn’t get to watch all of it since I had only gotten to see the last part of it, however I thought it looked interesting …

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 …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Wager is a second season episode from this half-hour series that starred Richard Boone as the gunfighter, Paladin. Though the performers are very good, I actually didn’t enjoy this episode very much, and there’s one big reason for that. Overacting.
Boone is …

There are actually some things I agree with Bill O’Reilly about, but it’s just the way he says them that often grates on my nerves.
Certainly, he speaks his mind, without attention to political correctness, which is admirable, but it is a bit difficult to take the arrogance that accompanies …

I’m not as fond of Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 2 as I am of part 1 for several reasons.
First, I don’t like what happens in part 2. There’s a major character death, and it’s one that was ordered by the Sci-Fi Network. They wanted the audience to …

MacGyver: Pirates has some fun stuff in it. Actually the best part for me was when MacGyver was trapped on a sinking boat and had to try and get out before drowning. It was quite a challenge and made for an exciting scene.
There’s a good cast providing …
