Now here is a fun science fiction TV show. Star Trek: The Naked Time lets us really have some good times with the Enterprise crew. It all happens because they end up infected by a disease which causes them to become more emotional and carefree. These …

OK, just when I thought cartoons based on comic books have gone a bit too far, there is another one that pops up. Batman vs. Dracula is one of the examples of it.
The Batman character has gone through a few transformations over the years and the Cartoon Network version …

M*A*S*H: Mail Call Again is an interesting episode dealing with the most recent mail call for the 4077th. The big news is that Major Frank Burns (Larry Linville) gets a letter from his wife saying that she wants a divorce. It seems she’s been told about Frank’s …

Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) and his father, Leonard (Harry Morgan), take off for the island of San Marcos in Blacke’s Magic: Prisioner of Paradise. The reason for the visit is the arrest of long sought criminal. Michael Constantine played the small role well. He didn’t have …

Fame: A Special Place is the sixteenth and final episode of Fame’s first season on television and it has some interesting moments, or not, that need to be addressed.
First, oddly, Erica Gimpel isn’t in this show at all. There’s no mention of where Coco is. That’s not …

The 12th season of the reality series Big Brother continued with an eviction episode on September 8, 2010. At this point, there were four contenders remaining, Hayden, Lane, Enzo, and Britney, the last woman standing.
As much as Big Brother bugs me, this season has been a little different. …

I would say that alot of the things that happen on this show are unrealistic. Such as the woman that your husband had an affair on you with and left you for probably would not be coming in to eat dinner with you or sit at your kitchen table …

Taped in Las Vegas, the problem with most episodes of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast is that they are more an NBC showcase than anything else. Initially, there were some really good ones that are what a roast should be, a person being teased by friends and co-workers. …

I am a firm believer that television has gone down in quality, especially where comedy is concerned. More often than not, ratings show that the most popular shows in America are the reality shows that ridicule one celebrity or another and sitcoms are nothing more than a combination of …

I totally wish that I could really fall in love with the TV program titled, Calefare. This is a local TV program or rather a sitcom of around a half hour. It is a debut actually so when the promotional ads were on, I was like totally in …

The drug culture infiltrates the small town of Murphys in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Deadly High. While the older McFadden brothers run across a dead body on their land while rounding up cattle, the youngest sibling, Guthrie (River Phoenix), stands up to marijuana drug dealers on campus.
It’s …

Ok, I will admit it, while one of the stupidest Spongebob Squarepants epiosodes I’ve ever seen, the episode “Frankendoodle” is actually quite funny; in fact, it might be one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen in a while.
I’m still a bit confused about why a pencil lost by an …

In March 1960, Sea Hunt was in the early part of its third year on television. The episode shown on this night was the ninth one and was called Jade Cavern. It begins with expert diver Mike Nelson on his boat working on an assignment when he …

Janine finally gets some vacation time, and uses it to bring Egon to meet her folks. I know that she’s crushing on Egon, but this seems to imply that they are in a bona fide relationship. Egon even says that he’s not ready to meet her folks. …

Kekkaishi Episode 5 has Yoshimori confronting the ghost of a pastry chief who won’t pass on to the next world.
This episode was pretty good and it explained more about the world of the Kekkaishi and how they operate, and it also introduced the Night Troops an organization that is …

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is hilarious and entertaining. Jay Leno always has great, relevant and up-to-date jokes for every show. The band that performs during the show is also excellent. Another great thing about this show is that there are some pretty neat actors, stars, etc. people …

The second episode of Dancing with the Stars continued the injury bus. I don’t know what it is about this show, but the stars are dropping like flies. First, before the show even hit the air last week, Nancy O’Dell and Jewel both had injuries that took …

The 8th show of Black Gold’s third season on the air was, well, lackluster and highly repetitive in my opinion. In essence, the hour picks up where they left off in the 7th show with the workers letting off steam at the bar, only that is where a …

Wow, I have to wonder where Law & Order SVU is starting to head at this point. Another episode last night, “Smut” and another hour where I felt kind of bored.
I think this series might have beaten the whole sex crimes thing to death and is running out of …

The episode “Hawk and Dove” was one of the worst episodes of the first season of Justice League Unlimited. Even Wonder Woman cannot save this episode full of cliches and generalizations.
The plot involves an armed conflict between two sides in some South American country. You do not …

There is no show that depicts adolescent innocence and first loves quite like Dawson’s Creek. Even though the show is no longer on the air, I still enjoy watching re-runs as I relive the experiences of the Dawson, Joey, Pacey trio that reminds me so much of my teenage …

As the third season of Jack Webb’s Adam-12 continues, we get a decent episode entitled Log 164: The Poachers which includes the recurring character of Officer Ed Wells, played to perfection by Gary Crosby. As always, the show stars Martin Milner and Kent McCord as the veteran and …

Deal or No Deal is a game show that comes on Wednesday nights. It is like playing a lottery game because you have a chance to win a million dollars. You must choose 1 of the cases for yours then eliminated the others hoping to not get the big …

Peter Wingfield is the standout guest star in John Doe: Doe or Die. Wingfield portrays Ken Rothman, who heads an assault team as they storm the Seattle police department where Jamie Avery and Frank Hayes work, though Hayes is not inside when the station is overtaken.
Rothman wants his …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Data’s Day” is a fun episode to watch. Unlike every other episode of the series, this episode’s story is told from Data’s perspective. The story follows Data as he goes about his “typical day” while the character speaks in the background. Data is …

Sharon Farrell is the big guest star in Wagon Train: The Pearlie Garnet Story, a ninety-minute, seventh season episode of the series. There’s little to love about Pearlie. She’s a pathetic and sad character, and this is her story, much of which is told in flashback.
The story reveals …

Trigun Episode 3 begins with Meryl and Milly in Warrens City, still looking for Vash the Stampede, who is also in the city looking for a renowned gunsmith named Frank Marlon. He runs into the town drunk and befriends him; he finds out that the drunk is Frank …

The third season of Monk was a transitional period, and that’s why I had to rate it so low. Sharona was one of my favorite characters and in this season she ended up leaving the show. I heard that it was a contract dispute and some money problems, but …

There’s a huge guest cast in Hawaii Five-O: The Box. Everywhere you turn, there was a familiar face, and that always makes a story more fun in my opinion.
Gerald S. O’Loughlin, Gavin McLeod, R.G. Armstrong, and Al Harrington are a few of the familiar faces in this cast. …

I was very surprised that I enjoyed The Ray Bradbury Theater: Great Wide World Over There as much as I did. This is a really quiet, unassuming half hour from October 1992. The cable show starred Tyne Daly as Cora Gibbs, Bill Johnson as her husband, Tom …

Semi-Homemade Cooking With Sandra Lee is a Food Network cooking show. Sandra Lee is a hoot and her food dishes are easy to prepare. The semi-homemade part of her food show title is just that: you can prepare dishes at home with items that are already prepared, making your …

Yeah, I have to say I am now halfway through the second season of the show Ghost Hunters and am actually more disppointed in this one than I was in the first season. The episode “Beechwood Mansion and the Garden State” is a good example as to why.
Basically, you …

What not to wear is a fun show on TLC that finds a fashion diaster and helps then pick a new wardrobe that makes them look better. In most cases the people who they pick to be on this show have some absolutly absurd fashion ideas, and think that …

That Girl: A Muggy Day in Central Park from season three is pretty funny, and it features Ted Bessell in a dress. Now that was a get up! There is a logical explanation, especially when you remember that this show aired on network television in 1968.
In this …

Grodd travels to the future, where a great disaster has left the world in control of evolved anthropomorphic animals: gorillas, tigers, snakes, bears etc. How Grodd knew about this, I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter.
Batman follows him in an attempt to stop him. In an inverse …

This was not the Highlander we all know and love. The Duncan in this movie was dark and brooding and unsure of himself. The movie was choppy-it didn’t have a good flow. There wasn’t much information about the characters and how they all came together. It didn’t …

Homer Simpson once said it is better to watch something than do something. That piece of wisdom comes from the episode Tennis the Menace and, given the content of that episode, makes some sense.
I actually like this episode. It’s much funnier than you think it would be. Homer takes …

The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie Comes to Town is the show where widower Andy Taylor gets himself a girlfriend in the form of new druggist, Ellie Walker. Elinor Donahue, who viewers watched grow up on Father Knows Best, plays the lady pharmacist, who has come to Mayberry to …

Adam-12: Wednesday Warrior is the final episode of the fourth season for this wonderful police drama which stars Martin Milner and Kent McCord as Officers Pete Malloy and Jim Reed. Gary Crosby returns as Officer Ed Wells, and he has an important role in this outing. It …

I didn’t get to watch the entire Bones season premiere last night because I was busy with a few other things at the time (thanks to my wife turning a simple cleaning project into a complicated redecoration of our living room). What I did see of it, however, did …

Dancing with the Stars began its 10th season by introducing Brooke Burke as the new co-host, replacing Samantha Harris. Brooke was too low key. She’s hosted before so I was surprised she didn’t have more spark to her frequent bits on the show. Maybe it was …

“A Jock Strap In Hell” is the fifth episode of season six of the CBS sit-com Two And A Half Men. This episode was great for the first 15 minutes but went downhill during the rest of the episode. The ending was just weird.
The show opens with …

The thing about so many shows is that what happens seems to be too easy. By that I mean that every week something extraordinary happens to the characters of the show. That is why having House being a famous diagnostician is such a good idea, and one they …

Frank Parker works for a secret government organization that uses alien technology to send him 7 days back in time when bad things happen so that he ca fix them.
In this episode the project got a new member, Hooter, because Ballard took leave. Frank goes to visit his friend …

“The Terminator Decoupling” is the episode of The Big Bang Theory originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. This episode was saved by great chemistry (over the telephone) between Sheldon and Penny. The rest of the episode was light on laughs.
Pros: Sheldon was featured in …

Maybe its just me, but this fall season a new show called Jericho is on prime time television and I have attempted to watch the show three times now and I have not a clue what the main idea is. I get the idea that the town has …

The opening ceremonies for any Olympics is the tone setter. It’s the event that unites the world as we watch. Hopefully, we’ll learn something as we watch and with luck, we’ll gain respect and knowledge for the host nation.
The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics were definitely educational. …

Whenever I am bored and in the mood for some noncommittal but somewhat thoughtful entertainment, I turn to my trusty X-Files. Although it has gone off the air nine years ago, there are nine seasons and countless episodes of this old favorite classic to wile away the dull hours. …

“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 …

Yes, there is yet another reality show featuring design and fashion. Instead of watching people model the clothes and basing the prize on that, we get to see literal amateurs attempting to launch their own clothing lines. They are paired with an expert who knows how to …
