This was the 30th anniversary of A Capitol Fourth, which aired on PBS and was hosted by Jimmy Smits. Smits certainly had a lot of drama in his hosting. He was full of energy and vibrated enthusiasm for the nation’s historic birthday. This is the show …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Death Clock was the 25th episode to air in the show’s last season on the air. It begins with a crisis where Captain Lee Crane has to shut down the reactor and takes in a large amount of dangerous rays. …

A couple of months after the second season of CHiPs ended, NBC put together a special two-hour event called The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs. I’m not sure what the intent was, if they just needed to feel a time slot and thought this was a way to do …

When I saw the previews for last night’s summer finale of Psych, I will admit I had some doubts about it. After all, it was an episode that had Shawn and Gus helping an international spy. It just seemed a bit unbelievable.
But, after watching it, I have to admit …

This episode of Friends is all so funny. Ross experiments with his so called newly found talent playing the bag-pipe and it irritates the hell out of Monica and Chandler. Monica and Chandler are trying to stop Ross to no avail and Ross even has the thinking of …

Well, actually, the title is a misnomer, and I’m not sure that I agree with the decision for the One of Six Voted Off episode of So You Think You Can Dance.
The five dancing competitors opened the show with an entertaining, Bob Fosse number. I liked this routine, …

From 1959, Confession was the 36th episode to air in the final season, its fourth, of the police drama, Highway Patrol. This half hour series starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as his number one helper of sorts, Sergeant Ken Williams. For me, …

From 1989, A Man Called Hawk starring Avery Brooks debuted on ABC. Brooks was recreating his colorful character of Hawk from the hit series, Spenser for Hire. For some reason, Hawk has returned to his Washington D.C. and that’s where the action takes place.
To be up front, …

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 …

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, You’re Under Arrest is the second Christmas episode for That Girl, and I have to applaud that they did it. So many shows just do one holiday show and then rerun it every year, so I was glad to see a second straight …

I’m not sure what I think of the women of Lipstick and Dynamite. Their story is one of the first women who were professional wrestlers. If you want to see a story about truly strong women, in many ways then this is the perfect story.
Wrestling, while staged, is certainly not …

“Usagi’s Panic: Rei’s First Date” is an episode of Sailor Moon that tells a story of Rei’s desire to have a date at a beautiful park before it’s torn down. While much of the story is centered on Rei’s quest to find the right guy and then, upon deciding …

I don’t make it a habit watching shows designed for pre-teens. But my daughter will occasionally watch the show ICarly and I have to admit it is a pretty good show.
The series features a young girl, Carly, and her friends who have a hit internet show. Each episode consists …

It’s yet another romance for Frank Buck in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Shadow Women of Chung Tai. I doubt the real Frank Buck had a girl popping out of the woodwork every other week. Bruce Boxleitner fans may like it, but I’ve never liked
the notion of …

For a while now, I have seen Bratz dolls on TV. At first I didn’t really pay attention to them, but now, I have noticed something about them. I have noticed that every Bratz doll is wearing something that no self-respecting person would wear. They …

We had a few errands to run last night and didn’t have a lot of time to make a complicated dinner. So, my wife ended up cooking a Beef Stroganoff boxed dinner from the brand Reganno.
I’m not sure where we bought this dinner (I think it was Aldi) but …

Star Trek: The Trouble with Tribbles is arguably the most popular episode in the history of Star Trek. The show is so entertaining and has a lot of humor within its hour. Tribbles, cute little white fur balls, are adorable. I own a couple myself.
The setup …

The Lazarus Man: The Journal is episode 12 of this series that takes place in the west in 1866. The show stars the charming and talented Robert Urich, though in this show I don’t think much of the charm gets to come out. He’s just too …

Episode three of The Twilight Zone isn’t a particular favorite of mine. It’s called Mr. Denton on Doomsday and features Dan Duryea. Certainly, Duryea was one very talented man. He’s been in numerous shows that I have enjoyed greatly, but this wasn’t one of them. …

The promos and ads for Fox TV’s action/adventure series, “Human Target”, piqued my interest, but somehow I missed it when it debuted. I’m glad that I stumbled upon it when I was on Hulu.com and was able to watch the pilot episode, among others, before it was no longer …

This has got to be the stupidest of all the prime-time quiz shows. I’ve got to admit that I’m not a big fan of the all these new quiz shows, and I don’t really understand their appeal. The title actually gives you an elevated idea of the content — …

Ellen was a television series starring Ellen Degeneres and it was a half hour situational comedy. Ellen was a bit of a weird show for me because it seemed to always be entangled with Ellen Dengenere’s personal life.
I think that she used the show as a mouthpiece regarding …

I do like the opening scene from John Doe: Shock to the System because it keeps the continuity alive of John wanting to be challenged. He doesn’t want to know everything, and like an earlier outing where he multi-tasked in a chaotic frenzy until there was something he …

Scrubs is a TV comedy about a group of hospital employee’s that is shown on NBC Thursday nights at 9 eastern time. It’s quite different than most shows about hospitals, in that it shows you the perspective of how each person sees the events of the day, as if …

I think Family Guy is a great show because it offers mindless animated comedy on the surface, and thoughtful cultural satire upon deeper inspection. I can enjoy an episode of Family Guy whether I’m in the mood for witty, clever commentary or simply wicked slapstick humor.
My …

Scrubs is a medical comedy that has held my interest from the beginning. It takes on an easy going, humorous, and sometimes plain crazy look into the lives of the doctors of Sacred Heart hospital. There’s Elliot: a woman just trying to fit in and let loose …

Beast Wars - Other Visits, Part 1 continues the alien story arc that was first started early in the first season. Now, it seems, the aliens are once again back which sort of puzzles me because in the first season finale, the aliens stated that they were going to …

This episode of That Girl actually had me chuckling and thinking about a little TV movie called Gidget Gets Married. I’ve never associated the Ann Marie character with Gidget Lawrence before but it just popped into my head that this was going to be what Ann and Don …

NCIS is called in when a young son of a naval officer takes his entire class hostage and demands to see his mother, who happens to be dead. To make matters worse, a young girl has asthma and needs her inhaler.
When Cody Meyers, the boy who took his …

I’m someone who has always been fascinated with supernatural movies and series, so as soon as I heard about the Showtime original series Penny Dreadful, I could tell that it would be something I might be interested in watching. The clips that I’d seen of it only made me even …

Battlestar Galactica TV show was the best tv show I have ever watched. I was playing the game battlestar galactica online, not knowing that there is a TV show ( funny haha I know ). But when my in-game friends told me to watch it immediately, I was like …

This season confirms Jack Bauer’s vulnerability to women. I always thought he is strong and invincible but when it comes to the women in his life, he is not ashamed to show his weakness. Since the first season up to this one, Jack has had so many memorable relationships …

Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox are back in action with CHiPs: Disaster Squad from the show’s second season. The thread that loops all the pieces together in this show is a cute little boy named Christian Zika. He is a little reminiscent of Robbie Rist, the sort …

Instant Star is an entertaining show. A small time girl makes it big. It premiers on the-n, with Jude as the superstar, Tommy the producer, Jamie the friend, Kwest business friend, Sadie the sister, Spiederman the friend/back up band, Karma the frenemy, darius the manager, zeppelin Jamie’s friend, Blu …

I guess many do not like the show Reaper. To be honest, I did enjoy the show and was thinking that it was a bit funny too, the first episode did not start very well, actually but then I appreciated it as the story develops. The idea of selling …

This is such an amazing program, not really one for the mainstream but if you like alternative humor then this is for you.
The way its filmed is extremely clever as if viewed through the eyes of the person talking(or listening) and centers around flat mates Mark and Jez.
Its now …

commented before that, while Make me a Super Model offered a few differences, it was pretty much the same show as other modeling shows that have been on television.
Further proof of this was offered in last night’s episode (number 2 overall). Like America’s Top Model, the models all …

Finally the forty-five minute mark in the first part of the Chuunin Exam is reached and it is time for the tenth question, but before he gives it out the instructor decides to tell the remaining candidates a story. He takes off his head band and hat to reveal …

Beast Wars - Equal Measures is an episode that I like on some levels, but dislike on others. First, the good. Terrorsaur gets some, not a lot, but some development in this episode and the viewer learns that he has ambitious goals of his own and a duplicitous streak …

Jeff Day is the fifteenth episode in the fifth season of New Girl, a sit-com, where Jeff Day is Jessica’s Day fictional alter-ego. There were two plots, Jess trying to buy a car with Nick’s and Sam’s help, and the other one involving Cece and Schmidt trying to get to …

I find Survivor’s latest ploy to get ratings rather stuid. They would have been better off removing the show from Prime Time about a year after it began, and gone out with dignity and grace. Now, this season, they are attempting to have people from different cultural …

This review is for Adam-12’s third season episode of Log 25: Indians. One of the major things that stand out in this episode for me is simply the characteristics of Webb-TV. Webb-TV is what is used to refer to Jack Webb TV shows, primarily Dragnet, Adam-12, and …

The results show for the TV Theme Week edition of Dancing with the Stars’ 11th season opened tonight with an attempt to set up that possible upset that would keep viewers tuned in for the full hour. They did this by starting with the two lowest scoring couples …

Well, last night was the season 1 finale of the show White Collar. Either that, or it was the fall finale, I’m not really sure. Either way, it was pretty decent.
Basically, you have Neil being framed for robbing a jewelry store and, since there is no proof he didn’t …

The big bang theory is a comedic series I enjoy watching each week. I have seen all of the episodes that have aired. This episode, season 3, episode 18 the pants alternative was not one of my favorites. This episode relied too much on …

Imagine if you found out your better half was dying of a terminal illness. A revelation like that is bound to do all manner of things to your mind, but you probably wouldn’t react like Jill Tyrell, the monstrous but somehow lovable lead of this terrific comedy. After finding …

I have always liked Star Trek: The Omega Glory, primarily for that big speech Kirk makes towards the end. I love the Kirk orations. They’re so patriotic.
Once again, the catalyst is a missing spaceship. In this case, it’s the Exeter. Actually, the ship and the …

Oh how I am so glad that I have found this series. I do understand that it is over a decade old. But “The Hunger” is one of those cable TV series that you either love or hate. Clearly, the fact that it began in the …

“Your Home Sweet Home Is My Home” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode consists mainly of a flashback which takes the viewers back to a time when Rob and Laura, with the help of neighbors Jerry and Millie, were searching for a new home …

Seinfeld was always one of my favorite TV shows growing up. Even to this day I can watch this show over and over and never get bored of it. I think Seinfeld is a true comedy classic. Seinfeld has classic characters that we will remember forever like Kramer. And this …
