After watching a bunch of not so great episodes of Grey’s it was nice to see one that had a good vibe to it. Funny, light hearted and warm and this was that episode, well up until the end anyway where it got sad.
What was cool about this …

“Sally is a Girl” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. In this episode, Laura rather harshly criticizes Rob and Buddy for treating Sally like “one of the fellas” in front of her newest prospective boyfriend and asserts that Sally herself has lost some of her lady-like …

Scarface starring Al Pacino is an excellent film to watch. It was recently on TV and I had to see it for the first time. It was released in 1983 but I never got to it. I thought that Scarface was very fast paced and filled …

I had the house to myself at lunch today and, as I ended up doing yesterday, I decided to ride the exercise bike that has been collecting dust in a corner of our living room (except for the parts being used as a coat rack) while watching an episode …

Keeping in mind that I’ve been given several of these DVDs about the adventures and cases of Commander Adam Dalgliesh of New Scotland Yard, I’m watching them in no logical sense of order. It’s like going back and forth in time. As a result, the first thing …

Kevin Arnold is graduating from his adolescent and is on verge of becoming an adult. He got a strict father, a homely mother , a sis, and a big bro. Each episode of The Wonder Years narrates an interesting anecdote that happens in his …

I believe that magic intrigues most everyone. How many times have you wished you could just chant a rhyming spell and change things? I don’t mean that you expect it to happen, normally, but, that it is IN the back of most people’s minds, that it certainly would be …

Star in the Night from way back in 1945 is a really simple, modern day simile of the Nativity. It’s set out in the middle of a little town and opens with three cowboys on horseback, riding along with Christmas presents. They see a bright star shining …

Episode number four from Tenspeed and Brown Shoe is another one of those long, crazy titles. It’s called The Sixteen Byte Data Chip and the Brown-eyed. Below are a few thoughts about this March 1980 episode.
–For once, the romance was turned around. In the first three …

The sixth of seventh episodes, Unnecessary War continues the mini-series, John Adams, which aired on HBO in April 2008. It’s a complex and involved story of a patriot who is iconic, but who was just a human being full of strength and fallacy. We see the weaker …

When most people think of shows that are on the American public broadcasting station, they think of cartoons like “Arthur” and Clifford.” Most adults do not realize that there are a lot of helpful programs for them on there as well and this one is a great example. …

Star Stories is a scathing comedy show that tells the story of different celebrities in each episode and this one tells the story of Peter Andre and Katie Price (or, Katie Price aka Jordan as he calls her) up until their fateful meeting on I’m a Celebrity Get Me …

Sea Hunt isn’t a show I watched growing up, and I’ve never really been interested it, but lately I’ve started to give it more attention since it’s airing on television. It seems the first season which I’ve been watching was different from the fourth season and had a different …

Gordon Wynn portrays …

The show fear factor has been around for a couple of years and has been going strong. Their idea was wonderful and they test your mental, physical capabilities to its full extent. I have to say they also challenge your mind so much as to how much you can …

“Bookmice” is the name of a children’s television show which I would watch when I was a small child. I would watch it on a local television channel early in the afternoon and think that it used to come right after the other children’s television show “Professor Iris”. I …

This is the show that just has never made sense to me. It’s the third season of The Andy Griffith Show, and we’ve already had four or so episodes that deal with Sheriff Andy Taylor’s relationship with Nurse Peggy McMillan. During this time, little Opie Taylor (Ron …

The story of how Santa became the jolly figure we know today is told in the classic animated tale, Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town. This is another of my all-time holiday favorites. I watch it at least twice every season, if not more. The story …

The 23rd outing of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s third season on TV was called Doomsday Island. Like the last show, it’s most an ensemble piece with no major guest stars. That means we get a lot of Richard Basehart as Nelson and David Hedison …

This one was a very strange episode of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files”. Of course, most of the episodes where strange, but I think the plot of this one made it even stranger than many. This is why I think of it as one of …

The show opens with …

I recently discovered I could watch the first season of the show Futurama on Netflix Instant watch and wasted no time doing so. I even started with the series pilot episode “Space Pilot 3000.”
Even though the show is still on the air, I rarely watch it. But, after seeing …

Ice Road Truckers: A Legend Meets His End had two story segments that held my interest more than the others. Traditionally, this show follows several truckers as they work the ice roads or, in the case of this season, dangerous roads. There really aren’t that many ice …

I happened to catch an episode of this show when the host teamed up with a group of pestilence control workers. These guys wore daunting looking black T-shirts and tackled the worst jobs you could think of. The episode I caught featured a home that was …

This episode is a story about a robbery team that doesn’t do their homework. Sheila Nolan (Cathy …

I have been a fan of the true life television program on MTV since it first aired in the late 1990’s. I have always enjoyed how most of their episodes are trying to help either the people they are about or to spread awareness about whatever …

I like Star Trek: Wolf in the Fold. It’s a murder mystery that is quite intriguing. It all begins on an innocent boys night out for Kirk, McCoy, and Scotty. I have to admit I enjoy this opening scene with the girl dancer. I love …

From May 1958, Highway Patrol: The Judge had some good elements to it, along with some really dumb bits. In short, we have an escapee from prison named Baker (Robert Courtleigh), who wants nothing more than revenge against the judge who put him behind bars.
Paul Cavanagh guest stars …

I am a big fan of the whole Dragonball series, and I have all the series in DVD. Whatever, when I heard that Dragonball is coming alive, and a movie is in making, then I was very curious. When the movie released I was pretty much excited to see …

Not everyone loves Stargate SG-1: Space Race as much as I do, but I just think this whole show is a hoot. I remember going into it that I thought I wouldn’t like it, that there wouldn’t be much of Jack and Daniel. It was definitely touted …

My daughter ended up watching another episode of the 1980s show Faerie Tale Theater this past weekend; Goldilocks and the Three Bears. And, much like other episodes of the show, this one proved to be pretty entertaining for pretty much everyone in our family.
They kept the same basic plot …

The second of six episodes for The Great British Bake Off occurs in Scotland, and it’s quite picturesque. I think I love watching the scenery almost more than I do the cooking aspects of these programs. I also love the cooking set up which has the bakers under …

House on FOX is one of my favorite TV shows. I love the main character Doctor House even though he can be an insensitive jerk. He is witty and smart and leaves you wanting more. I mainly love the show because of the mystery behind each episode. There …

Tales of the Gold Monkey: Mourning Becomes Matuka is the final episode of the one-season adventure series which starred Stephen Collins as Jake Cutter. The premise is that Princess Koji (Marta DuBois) blackmails him into going to work as her bodyguard after her regular bodyguard is injured …

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 …

Hey, Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) finally got lucky in The Fall Guy: Soldiers of Misfortune. It made me laugh, but they included a bath tub scene at the beginning (Seavers loves bubble baths) of the show with a bikini-clad beauty ready to help enjoy the bath with him. …

There were quite a few Stargate SG1 fans who were disappointed in this episode, or who ridiculed it. Episode 8 of season 4 - The First Ones - was one of my favorite episodes. Sure, people could accuse me of loving this episode because it was Daniel-centric …
