The Twilight Zone: Still Valley TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Still Valley is another one of the shows that I’ve never been all that crazy about. It’s a little spooky and weird, not in a scary way but just in its telling. It involves some black magic, and that’s not my thing either.
This is …
School Rumble seasons 1
School rumble Season 1 is a Japanese anime that can be categorized as very interesting. By taking the theme of love story in the high school environment, this anime can serve all the love story at the high school in Japan. With so many of each characteristics of these anime …
Divorce Court Television Show
It amazes me that people are willing to go on a public show to air their dirty laundry. A divorce is hardly ever a great or friendly thing between a couple. Place them in front of a camera and let the blows commence. I get so tired of seeing …
The Closer TV Show
At first I did not understand the appeal of The Closer show. I couldn’t figure out what it was- on one hand it was a detective show, similar to law and order, on the other it was full of comedic moments and exaggerated characters. I simply did not know …
Dancing with the Stars - 9-22-09
As the three-night premier of this season’s Dancing with the Stars continued, it was the ladies who were center stage. There were two ‘wow’ performers for me, and both of them shocked me.
The first was Mya. Now, honestly, I don’t even know who she is. Apparently, …
Dr. House show
Watching House with his non-existent bedside manner and amazing diagnostic skills often makes me wish he was my doctor. There are people to make up for his lack of bedside manner. When I go to the doctor in reality they may or may not have a bedside manner and …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A New Man
Hey, look at this. Another Buffy the Vampire Slayer season and another episode revolving around her (19th) birthday. Doesn’t anyone else have a birthday on the show?
Once again, we also have to have some sort of problem going on during her birthday celebration. Seriously, can’t the girl just have …
Psych : Lights, Camera, Homicidio
While this episode of Psych wasn’t quite as good as many others, I will admit Lights, Camera, Homicidio was a cute one.
Shawn is on site at a Latin soap opera trying to solve a murder and ends up joining the cast of the show. His role was actually …
That 70s Show TV Episode: Surprise, Surprise
I missed the first couple minutes of the That 70s Show episode entitled Surprise, Surprise. But, even with missing the first part of it, I saw enough to know this was a pretty funny episode.
Basically, there are two main stories in this episode. First, Kelso ends up sleeping with …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 18 - The Climax
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 18 - The Climax continues the soap opera elements that made the show what it was. Part of the most difficult elements to watch is the obsession that David Marquette (Michael Brandon) has for Maggie Farrell (Maud Adams). It’s positively spooky, even now …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.10 - Crash
In the Season 2 finale, Dr. Monti schedules separate sessions with Feldman/Susie and Haim to show them the taped video of the fight outside of Haim’s house in order to hear and study their reactions. All three of them feel bad about it, of course, but don’t seem to …
CHiPs: Disaster Squad
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 …
The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet is one of the classic episodes that people love to see. It’s an intriguing mystery that leaves you going ‘whoa’. The story surrounds Bob Wilson (William Shatner in his second Twilight Zone appearance), a man just recovered from a nervous …
One Tree Hill Series
First of all, I did not expect that I would learn to love CW’s One Tree Hill series. I have been a loyal viewer of the series since the airing of its first season when its characters were in their teenage years. Now it has made to its sixth …
COPS
“COPS” airs on Fox and each episode revolves around the daily experiences of police officers, as they go out on their patrols. I’m sure that, realistically-speaking, there are moments in a cop’s day that are very routine or mundane, but “COPS” focuses on the more dramatic aspects of …
Criminal Minds: Devil’s Night TV Show
Directed by Charles Haid, which might explain Michael Warren being in this episode since both appeared on Hill Steet Blues, Criminal Minds: Devil’s Night had its moments that served to entertain to an extent. The story concerned what is has been an annual event in Detroit in recent …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Gungan General
The Gungan General felt like a big step backwards for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Much of what I have liked in this series is that it didn’t feel like it was made for little kids. In previous episodes, it felt like the people in the show were adults.
In …
Laramie: The Lawless Seven TV Show
Laramie: The Lawless Seven has always been one of my favorite episodes. I just love the drama, the characters, the action, and the hint of romance that exists within the hour of this exciting western TV series. The focus in this particular episode is on Robert Fuller’s …
The Office: Survivor Man
Having watched every episode of Survivor Man, the title of this episode of The Office intrigued me. This season of the office has finally hit it’s stride.
The best part about this episode was the same thing as the previous episode, that is the plausibility. Having left behind the large …
Adam-12: Log 36: Man Between
Adam-12: Log 36: Man Between is the eighteenth episode from the third season of the TV series which stars Martin Milner as Officer Pete Malloy and Kent McCord as Officer Jim Reed.
There’s a very high strung story as part of this half-hour show. Peggy Webber guest stars as a …
Due South: Say Amen
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 …
Star Trek: Bem TV Show
From 1974, the animated Star Trek: Bem had the Enterprise hosting a new race, or rather, aboard the Enterprise there was a man considered an honorary observer. His race was new to the Federation. For much of this half-hour show, we really don’t know if this Bem …
Knight Rider Season 1, Ep 15: Fly By Knight
Knight Rider is one of those simple shows that we know are simple but we still watch because we like that simplicity. It is about good guys agains the bad guys, just here the good guy, Mike, drives this great car called Kitt that has or is AI and …
M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry
Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …
Columbo: Last Salute to the Commodore TV Show
I don’t really remember watching this show, Columbo: Last Salute to the Commodore, but I’m sure I did. It’s just fallen out of my brain, and I believe the reason for that is that it’s quite possibly the worst episode of Columbo ever. It’s dull, not just …
Orchestra United: Episode 2 TV Show
The second episode of Orchestra United was a little slow for me somehow. I can’t really put my finger on it, but there was something that didn’t keep me as hooked as I had been. Still, the hour long episode from the United Kingdom had some solid …
Star Trek: The Squire of Gothos TV Show
Oh my goodness, it’s Trelane! One of Star Trek’s most intriguing, mischievous, and rebellious little boys is seen in this episode called The Squire of Gothos. William Campbell played the colorful role, and in doing so was one of the best guest stars ever in the original …
Lockup
The television show on the cable station MSNBC called Lockup is great. The show should be watched by any teenager you may have in the house. It depicts what life in prison is like. How dangerous it is even though you might think being locked up …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Initiation Part 2 TV Show
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Initiation Part 2 concludes the pilot for this police drama and adventure series that updates and continues on the legacy that began with the original Kung Fu series in the 1970’s. In this TV show, David Carradine and Chris Potter star as a …

Home Improvement: Whitewater
Yesterday was my birthday so I decided to take the afternoon off. I didn’t do too much other than watch TV. But, I did get to see a great episode of Home Improvement.
Ironically, this episode had Tim celebrating his birthday too. Only, instead of getting to do what he …
Super Why! The Princess and the Pea
I had heard of the show Super Why before. But, I had never had a chance to actually sit down with my daughter to watch it. Last night, however, I got home and she had it playing on our Netflix player and I had a chance to watch the …
The Twilight Zone Original Series: I Shot an Arrow in the Air
The original Twilight Zone is a classic series from the 1950s, which is still entertaining today. I shot an arrow in the air is an episode from the first season. Like all twilight zone episodes, or least most twilight zone episodes, it has a surprise twist ending. In my …
Uefa Champions League Magazine Television Show
With interest in the Uefa Champions League touching all corners of the earth, a weekly show like the Uefa Champions League Magazine, which rounds up all the previous week’s exploits is a welcome necessity for me, and something that has become a huge part of my football lifestyle.
I think …
Surviving the Cut: Navy EOD TV Show
I definitely enjoy the Surviving the Cut. It educates the everyday viewer about the military elite and all that they have to do to get there. Well, not all because actually some of it is classified. The cameras frequently have to shut off to avoid showing …
Psych: The head, the tail, the whole damn episode
My wife and I finally got around to watching last week’s episode of Psych (which we recorded Wednesday because we had other shows on that we wanted to watch instead). It was an OK episode, but much like many of the other episodes this season, could have been better.
This …
Adam 12 - Log 12
The “Log 12″ episode of “Adam-12″ is a very heart-wrenching episode, one I love a lot. The sentiment begins with a young girl, little Dawn Lyn, best know perhaps as “Dodie” on “My Three Sons”. She’s a small child named Charlie in this episode, left to fend …
Mr. Show with Bob & David, Seasons 1 & 2
“Mr. Show,” a groundbreaking and often bizarre program on HBO in the 1990’s, is absolutely required viewing for any fan of sketch comedy and absurdist humor-its loose, apparently free-flowing structure, in which sketches segue into one another in various imaginative ways, aids writers and stars Bob Odenkirk and David …
Night Gallery: They’re Tearing Down Tim Riley’s Bar/The Last Laurel TV Show
From season one, Night Gallery: They’re Tearing Down Tim Riley’s Bar was the first of two segments and William Windom, Diane Baker, Bert Convy, and John Randolph in the principal roles.
After twenty-five years of competition and fighting in the plastics business, a lonely widower is having flashbacks to better …
M*A*S*H: The Price
M*A*S*H: The Price has a cute first few seconds with Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) riding back into camp on his horse, Sophie, and singing a cowboy song. As a lover of the western and cowboy world, I found the entire thing to be really adorable.
A big part …
Psych TV Episode: Extradition British Columbia
Synopsis: While on a ski vacation in Canada, Shawn and Gus run into an international art thief and try to help the local authorities capture him.
What I liked about this episode: I don’t think this show could have done any better of a casting job than choosing Cary Elwes …
The Simpson’s: Sweets & Sour Marge
I was able to watch a late night episode of the Simpson’s last night and it was an interesting one; “Sweets & Sour Marge.”
This episode has Homer trying to break a world’s record and, after attempts to do so by himself fail, he convinces the town of Springfield to …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Challenge TV Show
I liked a few things about Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Challenge, starring David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine and Chris Potter as his son, Peter Caine, who is now a police detective. It’s the father and son relationship and the journey that evolves from the first to …
Highway Patrol: Chain Store TV Show
The 12th outing for Highway Patrol in its third year of televising was called Chain Store and was a pretty decent episode. The show starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, the head of the California Highway Patrol. Also starring was William Boyett in his recurring role …
Married with Children TV Episode: Peggy Sue got Work
Synopsis: When Marcy finds out Peggy wants a VCR and has to beg Al for it because he’s the one that makes the money, she ends up forcing her neighbor to get a job so she can pay for it herself.
What I liked about this episode: This actually reminds …
Family Guy
Family Guy is an animated television show about a family which includes a talking dog and genius baby, who is trying to take over the world.
The show centers around patriarch, Peter Griffin, a less-than-perfect dad, similar to that of Homer Simpson, but slightly more crude. His wife, Lois, is …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-15-10 TV Show
The September 15th edition of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show pretty much bored me. I just am not a fan of hers and while she was a bit more relatable with her audience, she isn’t someone I enjoy watching.
One segment of the show involved designer Tory Burch, which …
Doctor Who: School Reunion
The Doctor comes face to face with an old ally in this adventure. When he and Rose go undercover at a comprehensive school at the advice of friend Mickey; it’s not just a dastardly alien plot they come face to face with, when old companion Sarah Jane Smith bumps …
Adam-12: Truant
I enjoy Adam-12: Truant quite a bit. Jim Reed (Kent McCord) puts in a suggestion for a new truant program to help keep kids off the streets and drop the crime rate in the area. This is one of the shows that exhibits Jim’s sharp mind and …
