Masquerade: Caribbean Holiday
From January 1984, Masquerade: Caribbean Holiday is a so-so entry for this TV series. The series itself didn’t go over very well. I was one of the small minority who actually did watch it. I liked the unique concept of a spy agency getting every day …

That Girl: Fur All We Know
Though the opening bit is rather cute, the rest of That Girl: Fur All We Know perturbs me on several levels. At the beginning of this show, Don takes Ann to a big party for the wealthy jet set. While he’s doing his business, he tells his …

Stargate SG-1: One False Step
Stargate SG-1: One False Step is one of my very favorite episodes of the series, mainly because there is such wonderful interplay between the characters of Jack (Richard Dean Anderson) and Daniel (Michael Shanks). These two performers have such awesome comedic timing. They can speak in unison, …
Cinemax
I can’t believe how much cinemax has changed. I used to have it and I glad I don’t pay for it anymore. I had it free over the weekend and I don’t see why anybody would pay for this channel anymore, especially not a high price for it. I …
The Prisoner: Harmony (2009) TV Show
The Prisoner: Harmony is the second of six episodes of this updated science fiction show. The one thing it definitely retains when compared to the sixties original is the strangeness of it all. The Village is still there, but it’s less bright and vibrant than the old …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Seventeen —“ A Real Rain
Finally a case in New York City! Someone was going around killing convicts that got off for one reason or another. That leads to that thought, does this unsub really need to be stopped? That bottles down to a question of ethics. If the law cant touch the …
Monica: The Single (Peachtree TV network show)

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Man in the White Hat TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Man in the White Hat is the second episode and it’s always been one of my favorites because of the intensity of the family drama. In this episode, Crane McFadden (Peter Horton) is insistent that the family participate in a co-op for …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Dark Ages
One of the interesting things about the earlier episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the fact you really never get to learn too much about the librarian Giles and his past.
The episode The Dark Ages changes that.

Highway Patrol: Reformation TV Show
Highway Patrol: Reformation aired towards the back end of this police drama’s second season. I like the concept of this episode, though I think that some of the drama could have been enhanced to give more intrigue for the viewers.
Broderick Crawford plays the confident Chief Dan Mathews, head …
Dukes of Hazzard
Remember that old show Dukes of Hazard. I loved that show so much. Its been my favorite show since I was 5 years old. It just has something to the TV show that has a great value to me. The old car, the actors or just the fact that …

MASH - Season 7
The 7th Season of MASH seemed to focus a lot on the stuff the characters were missing while in Korea, ranging from them learning new medical techniques they weren’t aware of to them arranging a get-together of their families back home.
They also spend much of the season dealing with …
Life on Mars Season 1 episode 17 Life is a Rock
This is the last episode of the show Life on Mars and I must say that I was pretty anxious to see how all this confusion, uncertainties and time travel situation would end. I mean, I knew there’s got to be some reasonable explanation for what happened to …

Dead Zone Season 3, Episode 4
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 …
Friends: The One with the Cop
This is a show that occurs in the fifth season of the popular sitcom, and it is one of my favorities as it has a lot going on throughout the show and it definitely does not leave room for any boring parts.

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Untitled TV Show
As crazy as it sounds, the tenth episode of the 1980 private detective show, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe, was called simply Untitled. That’s one way to solve a problem when you don’t know what to call an episode. The series stars Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum, both …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Hostage
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Hostage starts out with one of those cliffhanger scenes, with Buck saving himself from being run over by a truck by clinging to the undercarriage and climbing up. This show loves to do those old movie house devices, making you think there was …
Highway Patrol: Dan Sick TV Show
Dan Sick was the 38th episode of Highway Patrol’s third season, and it focused on Chief Dan Mathews, as played by Broderick Crawford, becoming ill quite suddenly. Though I have issues with how the show proceeded in spots, it was actually an enjoyable half hour that had me interested …
The People’s Court With Judge Marilyn Milian
Daily I look forward to sitting down comfortably and watching an episode of The People’s Court. The people’s court is presided over by Judge Marilyn Milian, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to do it. She has a little bit of an attitude complimented by a sassy, yet …
Futurama TV Episode: Anthology of Interest I

Highway Patrol: Wounded TV Show

Who’s Your Pappa - Real Housewives of Atlanta
Now I’m a huge fan of Bravo’s Real Housewives series…especially their Real Housewives of Atlanta series, mostly for the reason that it showcases that Afican Americans like other ethnic groups can enjoy the finer things in life. The episode Who’s Your Pappa with Ne Ne trying to find …
Stargate SG-1: Show and Tell
One of my very small pet peeves about Stargate SG-1 is that oftentimes in the early years, if there was a child’s story, it was always Richard Dean Anderson’s character who had the poignant connection with the child. The only exception was Cassandra, the alien child Sam had …
The Twilight Zone: The Incredible World of Horace Ford TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Incredible World of Horace Ford isn’t a show I particularly look for, but it’s okay. The late Pat Hingle stars as the title character of Horace Ford. He’s 38 years old, and he just wants to live a happy life. However, he’s …
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 18 Bluff

Celebrity Apprentice - UK - Week 7
The seventh week of Celebrity Apprentice - UK was fairly interesting. I think it was probably more fun for those who actually live in the UK, though. The reason for this is that the task for the week had the teams attempting to negotiate with various notable …
Angel Television Show
I started watching this show a few months ago and I absolutely love it. It comes on very early in the morning (around 5:00 a.m. on TNT) so usually I try to check it out whenever I am awake. The premise of the show is very simple. …
