This is one of the more entertaining murder set ups of the entire series. The game …

Just as the documentary title and episode title indicate, Monty Python: Almost the Truth - The Lawyers Cut: The Much Funnier Second Episode is the second of six episodes which chronicle the history of this British comedy group. I’ve never been a fan, so I like to be …

I’m almost afraid to admit that I’ve been watching The Phone. After all, it’s on MTV and it’s from the mind of Justin Timberlake. Now that’s scary!
The Phone is an overly dramatic program that has made stunt people very happy. The stunt bill must be enormous for …

M*A*S*H: Love Story centers on Radar (Gary Burghoff), who is suddenly acting in a strange way. It takes some doing, and a physical examination, to get to the truth. The 4077’s clerk has just received a ‘Dear John’ letter from his girlfriend back home.

Laramie: The Passing of Kuba Smith aired in this terrific series’ second season. It’s an intriguing hour that guest stars John McIntire, who would later appear with series star Robert Fuller in Wagon Train. For now, though, McIntire was the crafty and clever outlaw, Kuba Smith, with …

M*A*S*H: Temporary Duty is a ridiculous show that is half comedy and half drama. While the drama is good, the comedy doesn’t make me laugh at all. The dialog in this part of the show was poorly written and the character of Captain Roy Dupree was over …

From season three, airing in July 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Wind was one that I had a hard time focusing on and getting into. It was slow and somewhat boring. What is odd to me is that the topic should have had more punch throughout …

Today, there are a plethora of television court shows, all because of the tremendous popularity of Court TV (now Tru TV) during the infamous O.J. Simpson trial. Of course, there had been both Divorce Court and The People’s Court that had great runs, but it’s been in the …

I usually watch KXAN channel 36 for my news channel. I think the anchors Robert Hadlock and Leslie Rhode are very professional and yet they give us the news in a more human manner instead of simply reading the news.
Rhode has not been on the channel until recently …

“Battle 360″ is a TV show displayed on the History Channel every Friday night at 10 Eastern. It is a nearly commercial-free look at the history of the USS Enterprise (a carrier) in the second World War. It is, of course geared towards history-buffs, but I believe that even …

That Girl: Leaving the Nest Is for the Birds features Jerry Van Dyke in one of his better roles in my opinion. The brother of the amazing Dick Van Dyke, I’ve never been that impressed by Jerry. There are only a few roles that I’ve really enjoyed …

The intro teams Batman up with the Blue Beetle, not Jaime but Ted Kord. They’re exploring some undefined hideout. The banter between the two was well done, discussing the drawbacks of various gadgets and how no one appreciates the brains behind it all.
The episode opens …

It was Saira versus Tim in the finale of The Apprentice - UK, and it started off very wonky in my opinion. For one thing, just like in the American version, Sir Alan Sugar brought back the other contestants and the two finalists were allowed to choose three …

This is yet another brilliant episode of the show that would keep you in suspense and biting your nails for the next 45 minutes, as you watch the team of FBI profiles untangling the messy string of events and nothing is really …

Until now I consider CSI as the only CSI. Call me prejudiced, but CSI:Miami and CSI: New York just cannot compare. When CSI opened in 2000, I was instantly curious. I think that was the first time that a show featured the people behind the police investigators. It was …

The season 1 DVD set for the “Adam-12″ TV series is a disaster. Universal Studios did a lousy job, almost as if they wanted the series to fail on DVD. It’s a low quality, full of freezes set.
The two-disk set comes encased in a holder. The …

I didn’t get a chance to see the Simpsons episode Smoke on the Daughter until last night. It turned out to be a pretty funny episode.
Basically, Marge decides to try to live her dream of becoming a ballerina only to discover she isn’t cut out for it. She then …

Finally, a season six show worth watching. It’s one of three. Stargate SG-1: Abyss is the return of Daniel Jackson, sort of. Now Ascended, Daniel shows up to help Jack, who has been implanted with a Tok’ra symbiote. The symbiote took Jack by force to attempt …

At first when I saw this show I didn’t like it but then after watching a couple of episodes I started to enjoy it and like it. Some episodes that I have seen are really funny and other ones are alright. At first Raymond in the show used to …

Castle is one of those shows where the main characters always have a witty or pithy statement as the last word. The conversations between the characters are quick and engaging; the actors do have good chemistry together. The great thing is that while the show is very focused on …

Star Trek: Voyager - “Ashes to Ashes” offers up a unique and fresh science fiction concept that I like: what if there was an alien race out there that reproduces using the bodies of the dead? This episode features such an alien race. They scour the galaxy for members …

Bravo TV has some interesting and great water cooler reality shows, but it amazes me if anyone talks about The Rachel Zoe Project, except to say how self-absorbed and high maintenance Rachel Zoe is.
Frankly, I’d never heard of her until seeing the commercials for her show during other reality …

I really enjoyed the series, or at least most of it. I have watched and rewatched it, laughed, cried and been terrified. And for the most part it was a good television show but there were some things that really annoyed me.
I hated the way they were inconsistent with …

I repeat: Starfleet needs a better screen process for its captains. In the past three years, we’ve seen some really bad ones. In Star Trek: Whom Gods Destroy, we get to meet another one. At least this guy isn’t a current captain. Actually, this guy …

I don’t know why it appeals to me so much, but Starhunter is one of my favorite TV shows. Sure it is low-budget, nor does it have the greatest acting in the world, but there is a certain charm and appeal to the show nonetheless. Thus I …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Creature Below! was the 16th show to air during the 1965-1966 TV season, which was the second year of this sci fi series about the nuclear submarine, Seaview. The Seaview should have billing: it’s a vital part of what makes …

I watched the first season of Tough Love, and was a big impressed with the format. Tuning into the second season, Tough Love 2 has been just as entertaining. I was surprised, but maybe not so much that they brought back Taylor from the first season …

We ended up catching the new Simpson’s episode last night “Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou? Because we thought it would end up being a Christmas episode based on the commercials.
It wasn’t. And, it wasn’t a very good episode either.
Basically, there is a power outage and Bart (who doesn’t know …

I was flipping through channels the other day and I came across Duck Dodgers on one of our cartoon channels. I figured it was just a re-run of some of the older Daffy Duck cartoons. But, when I clicked on it, I discovered it was a modernized version of …

In 1973, after the live action had been off the air for several years, an animated version of Star Trek hit the Saturday morning lineup.

Her …

From its fifth season, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trap was the 24th episode, airing in March 1962.

Diagnosis Murder: Murder at the Telethon had Community General Hospital hosting its first annual emergency room telethon. It was raise money through the telethon or shut down. To me, it’s an amusing way to bring in some interesting guest stars, such as Dom Deluise. He plays …

The other day, I was looking for movies on Netflix Instant Watch and came across Space Balls the animated series. Since I loved that movie, I figured I would take the time to watch the cartoon.
The cartoon wasn’t very good.
I don’t know what they did in other seasons (if …

Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer such as myself were delighted to hear Faith/Eliza Dushku would be continuing to act in the supernatural genre of television. She had turned down her own spin off from Buffy just to do Tru Calling. The Pilot is where us fans were holding …

This is a really crazy show about parents Dave and Vicky with their 3 teenage kids. There are so many shows like that but this one is particular, I think, because not only that parents are worst than children but they actually like it.
These two always make a big …
