Sea Hunt: Underwater Ejection TV Show
The 28th episode of Sea Hunt’s second season was called Underwater Ejection and focused on deep sea diver Mike Nelson, portrayed by Lloyd Bridges, hunting down nose cones from space craft. The man has some interesting jobs, that’s for sure.
Mike Nelson opens the show with an injury, which …
The Twilight Zone: Caesar and Me TV Show
Goodness, it’s another show about ventriloquists and their dummies. I just do not like these episodes of any show, and it’s a letdown to see one on a good show like The Twilight Zone. Never the less, that’s what viewers got in April 1964 with the episode …
Castle, Television Show
Castle is ome of my new favorite shows on television. I love that Castle is very entertaining, has great plots, is funny, and there is always a who done it mystery to figure out. This is one of the few prime time shows on that I feel really comfortable …

Grey’s Anatomy TV Show
In a time when many TV shows are failing miserably, Grey’s Anatomy is still one of the few that are holding strong. After seven years on air, this is a show that is able to keep an audience, me included, captivated and interested. It’s not perfect by any means, …

Legend of the Seeker: Sacrifice
This week’s “Legend of the Seeker” was far better than past episodes. “The Legend of the Seeker” is based on Terry Goodkind’s sword of truth series of books, and for the first time watching an episode felt like it was really connected to the book.
I’ve been trying to be …
Death Note Episode 17
Death Note Episode 17 begins with Rem speaking to a businessman about the Death Note while L has a plan to test whether or not Light is the original Kira and whether or not Misa Amane is the second Kira.

The Real Ghostbusters Season 1, Episode 26:A Fright at the Opera
The Ghostbusters are recruited to take care of a swarm of Valkyries that have invaded an opera house. It’s a pretty straight forward plot, but it does make for an enjoyable episode. Having played the recent “Ghostbusters” video game, I couldn’t help but wonder if this …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 5: The Girl in the Fireplace
From what I’ve seen, Doctor Who episodes fall into three categories: ones that take place in the distant past, ones that take place in the distant future, and ones that take place on an alien world. Of course, there are several that take place in the present, thus …

Justice League Unlimited Season One: Kids’ Stuff

The X-Files Born Again Episode
I thought this particular episode had a very strange and interesting plot. This is why I think I would name this as one of my favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties American television show “The X-Files”. It was written well also, and I thought it played on the …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Helpless
One of the things I never liked about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the fact the main character has almost superhero-like powers to help her fight evil; something that gives her almost too much of an advantage.
That’s one thing I liked about the episode “Helpless.” Buffy, who is turning …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Waiting Room
From season five, Have Gun - Will Travel featured a decent cast in the episode called The Waiting Room that had a fun opening. I do so love the shows that give us Paladin (Richard Boone) in his playboy attire. Actually, in this case, we get a …
30 Rock Season One (TV series)
I am mad at myself for not watching this show on television sooner. On the off chance, I once caught an episode and was intrigued seeing Tracy Morgan’s antics. But once I rented this series on DVD from Netflix, my whole opinion opened up. Not …
The Strain TV Series on FX
Last July I started watching a show called The Strain on FX and I have to say that I am pretty impressed with the show so far. The show is a horror-action-drama series about vampires, based on a book trilogy with the same name. Both the books and the show …

Sea Hunt: The Invader TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Invader aired in July 1960 as the 30th outing of the underwater adventure series’ third season on the air. The show had a decent amount of under the water activity but it wasn’t as fun as others have been for a couple of reasons.
First of …
Dexter
Dexter
Dexter is one of the best TV shows out there. Unfortunately some people have a problem with it. There is no doubt that the show’s topic is controversial, but some people miss the important point. This show is a typical hero story, just like Batman or Superman- the only …
Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind
Over the past couple of years, episodes of the Simpsons seemed to be weak at best. It seems that, after all the years the show has been on the air, the writers are starting to run out of stories to tell.
The last episode I saw of this, Eternal Moonshine …
Stargate SG-1: Bane
Stargate SG-1: Bane gives us a lot of big,huge, honkin’ bugs, as Jack O’Neill says. Opening scene is a hoot; I love it. Essentially, Teal’c gets stung and then has a really nasty reaction.
One of the pleasures of this episode is Tom McBeath as Harry Maybourne. …

Ghost Hunters: Mark Twain House
Since Law & Order SVU wasn’t on last night, I was able to watch the early show of Ghost Hunters as they explored the Mark Twain House in Connecticut. This turned out to be an interesting episode.
For one, they had a lot of personal experiences. Normally, I don’t count …
Spartacus:Blood and Sand

I Dream of Jeannie: The Complete Series

Cowboy Bebop episode 11
Sometimes, drams can slow us down to the point of insanity. Other times, they can amuse us with stupid jokes and even more redundant situations. On the case of Cowboy Bebop episode eleven, they are the most radical parody of Ghost busters, that I have ever seen. When Jet …

Fireball XL5: Planet 46 premiered on October 28,1962 and introduced the United States audience to this British import from the mind of Gerry Anderson. It’s a science fiction series done not with actors, but with supermarionation. In other words, these are advanced puppets, and who knew they’d …

CHiPs: High Flyer
Sadly, the powers that be behind television series often don’t pay attention to their own show’s history. Continuity often has gone into the toilet, so to speak. In CHiPs: High Flyer, we get another example of just how bad it can get when no one cares to …
Lovely Complex Anime Series
This anime series came out in 2007. And although some people might think it’s old news, it is still worth checking out!

That 70s Show: Killer Queen
Well, that was a somewhat interesting episode of That 70s Show last night, “Killer Queen.”

My favorite part of this episode was involving Red and Kitty and the …
