Columbo: Make Me a Perfect Murder is a memorable outing for the famous detective mainly because of the superb cold and calculating performance of Trish Van Devere. She’s actually the traditional lady scorned, both personally and professionally, and she is out to get her revenge.
Van Devere portrays Kay …

I have been taking the time to review individual Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes as I have time to watch them and plan to continue doing that. But, I wanted to take a few minutes to talk about the cult series itself.
Back when I was in high school and …

The League’s second stage show is like its predecessor, divided into two acts. The first follows Ollie Plimsoles, founder of Legs Akimbo theatre company, auditioning Royston Vasey for a local nativity performance, dubbed “community”.

When I first came across the Bones episode “Death in the Saddle” I figured it would involve a murder of some sort of horse enthusiast. Boy, was I surprised when it was an episode about a sexual fetish.
Now, I’m far from being a prude when it comes to sex, …

Synopsis: Patrick’s older sister Sam comes for a visit and her temper causes a war with both Squidward and Spongebob.
What I liked about this episode: I wasn’t sure I was going to like this one at first but it turned out to be a surprisingly funny episode. Sam loves …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Singer was an episode of this thirty-minute black and white western that I really enjoyed. Since the last few were ‘misses’ in my book, I enjoyed seeing this ‘hit’. It began with a brief moment of levity, one that occurred when …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hatchet Man is from the third season of this western series. It’s a half-hour of Chinatown, which is something they did from time to time. Following are a few of the thoughts and observations I had about this outing.
–Even the fight …

Beast Wars - Code of Hero is, quite easily, my favorite episode of the series and one of my favorite episodes of any show period. This episode is amazingly powerful and sends a powerful message to, admittedly a relatively young audience, although the show can really be appreciated and …

I have been a customer of Comcast Cable off and on for roughly the last 7 years or so, dependent upon what deals they are currently offering. In the past, I have had no real complaints with the service other than the fact that their rates tended to …

There’s more in this episode about Ray Vecchio’s sister, Francesca. In fact, I must apologize because I believe I accidentally wrote …

I think this season may have kept MASH going for a couple of more years just because the episodes, though not as funny, definitely made you think more about the mental effects of war.
First Hawkeye needs to reply to a letter written by a kid who lost his brother …

Episodes like the Eagles episodes of MacGyver are very hard for me to watch. Like Michael Landon, Richard Dean Anderson believes in supporting animal life. He’s big into that. He works actively on various causes to help maintain nature. It’s one of the wonderful things …

While the second and third issues of this new ABC crime drama haven’t been as good as the pilot, they’ve still been entertaining and have held my interest. This third entry, Football John, was quite interesting.
For me, the main thrust of The Forgotten - Football John was to …

No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Earthquake deals with an earthquake that wasn’t and JJ Powell’s refusal to be honest with his parents about his powers.
This latter plot I’m sick of and have been for the last couple of shows. This character is turning me off because I just …

Night Gallery was Rod Serling’s follow up to The Twilight Zone. While not as good, it sometimes has some very interesting tales. At other times, the stories are just so so.
The first story, The Diary, is in the middle of the road. It stars one of …

The Simpsons is an animated comedy about the life of a family. I find the show to be funny, witty and hugely entertaining.

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 …

Beast Wars - Coming of the Fuzors, Part 2 is much more fast paced and action oriented than the first part, which mainly served to set up several storylines that would continue to build over the rest of the season and series. In this episode, the Predicons continue to …

This season has been a real return to form. This episode was no exception. The addition of Zatanna is always a nice thing and Serinda Swan played the part quite well.

Kim Darby plays the title role in Star Trek: Miri. Darby has a distinctive look. I call it pouty. She is always strong and sure, and her voice is equally so. She has a presence around her that makes her stand out. I always …

I haven’t seen any episodes of the old television show Emergency in some time now. But, we had dinner at my parents’ last night and my dad was watching it so I ended up watching one with him; “Zero.”

Okay, now I usually do reviews on things I like, but this time I have had it! Comcast (used to be Time Warner cable here) has driven me to my limit. You would think that after being with them for so long and not moving to Direct TV, …

I think Jamie Oliver is a breath of fresh air. He throws the rule book out the window when it comes to cooking and he is pretty cute too.
I like the gap in his front teeth, his cheeky accent and hi little messed up boy hair… it helps that …

Even though this isn’t the best Monk episode ever, the first Episode of the series does a great job introducing us to the comic detective and gives us a better understanding of the obstacles he faces if he ever hopes to become a member of the police department again.
Monk …

The Little King - Christmas Night is a vintage cartoon presented by SoGlow. I actually watched several holiday comics from the golden age today, and this was probably not only the most simplistic of the bunch but my least favorite.
The story revolves around a king who seems a …

I have always been a fan of Russell Howard since he started appearing on Mock The Week, but he did always strike me as being a touch geeky, so watching him off a panel show I was never quite sure would have the same impact.
His series, Russell Howards Good …

Out of boredom recently, I noticed that the entire first season of The Cleaner was available ‘on demand’ of my cable company. I’ve never watched the show,nor had any real inclination to turn it on, but I have seen the advertising about the start of its upcoming second …

My wife and I were bored yesterday and wound up watching television. After surfing through some channels, we ended up with the show “Running in Heels.” It was OK but nothing special.
The show basically is a behind-the-scenes look at the fashion magazine industry with us getting an introduction to …

My dogs give Due South: The Wild Bunch eight paws up. They were fascinated by it, especially my oldest dog. She was up by the TV screen for most of the hour. She loves to watch Diefenbacker, the wolf dog, and Dief was the star of …

I had fallen out of love with Heroes. The first season was quite good. The second season was slow for the first half, and while it started to pick up near the end, the writer’s strike broke the momentum and cut the season short. The third …

The first time I watched the episode “Dear Sally Rogers” of “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” I had high hopes for the ending of the episode. I felt that since this was a fifth season episode and with the end of the series clearly in sight, the writers were …

This was So You Think You Can Dance’s 150th episode according to host Cat Deeley. That’s great, but her dress wasn’t. Talk about tacky — yuck. On the plus side, the show had a special fourth guest judge, Kenny Ortega. That was fun. What …

OK, I never even heard of the show Total Drama Island until my wife was surfing channels the other day and came across the Cartoon Network. But, after seeing a few episodes of it, I have to admit it is pretty good.
Basically, this is a cartoon featuring a bunch …

In this review, I take a look at Painkiller Jane, Episode 10 from Season 1. The title of the episode is “Portraits of Lauren Grey.” In this scene from Sci Fi’s original series, imagine the lives of runway models: with all the quick-changes, back-stabbing, stereotypical self-image issues. …

This was a rather funny but still very serious episode, it still didn’t convince me this wasn’t a children’s show but I guess I am considering of promoting it to adult show.
Rose and The Doctor arrived back to London, although The Doctor wanted to take them back to the …
