OK, I like some Family Guy episodes and don’t like others as much. That’s going to be true about most series. But, some episodes of this show like “Barely Legal” are just a bit disturbing.
If you haven’t seen this episode, it goes a bit like this. Meg convinces Brian …

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 …

I gotta say from the start that I’m still not sure where the title comes from. Maybe I’ll get it from a second showing. Regardless, The Beast: Bitsy Big-Boy Boomeroo was an interesting show. It had many elements that I liked and a couple that I …

Although I generally find a tone of illogical things in this show this episode managed to make me forget about anything else except what was going on in it. That’s really a great thing because I’ve seen about 25 episodes of this show and I found them all more …

A.J. Cook’s swan song is this second episode of the new season, Criminal Minds: JJ. A lot of fans are angry to see this show come to fruition. Cook was fired during the hiatus in a supposed downsizing move. Paget Brewster came close to suffering the …

Beachhead marks the return of Samantha Carter, played by Amanda Tapping. Amanda had not been in the first few episodes because she was on maternity leave. Samantha was supposedly at R&D, but she returns in order to shut down a beachhead situation caused by a Prior.
This episode …

From November 1960, the second year of this western series, Laramie: License to Kill is one awesome hour of television entertainment. In this episode, a bounty hunter named Sam Jarrett hunts down Jess Harper (Robert Fuller), claiming that he killed a man in Willow, Colorado.
Reluctantly, Jess goes along, …

The group steals some fire nation clothes so that they can fit in without having to resort to hiding in caves all the time. By and large, the plan works rather well, except that Aang gets mistaken for a student playing hookie and is enrolled in school.
Sokka’s skeptical, …

For years, Saturday nights has been for football highlights from the top flight in England. At about 10:30pm you can turn on BBC 1 and watch the highlights of the games that have been played during the day. I have grown up with the show and it’s great, but …

Mr. Krabs decides to put some light into the Krusty Krab by offering some comedy at night time. Since he doesn’t have a lot of acts, he makes Spongebob in charge of making a hit with the show. He feels like he is put on the spot and just …

I have to admit that I really enjoyed Highway Patrol: Desert Town because it had some real drama and the outcome was something that was difficult to predict. It’s not that we haven’t seen this kind of story before, but the action is mysterious and curious. It’s …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Revenger, the third outing for the fifth season of this half hour, black and white western starring Richard Boone, has Paladin going to Yuma, Arizona. To get there, he takes a stagecoach, and it’s a crowded ride. I’m not sure I’ve …

I didn’t intend on watching another episode of Star Trek the Next Generation last night because it was getting a bit late and I had some other things that needed to be done before bed. But, I ended up watching the first few minutes of the episode The Most …

The Professionals was (and still is) the coolest show in history. Curly hair, Ford Capris and flared trousers all make this the best cop show on either side of the Atlantic.
I loved this show because it had terrific action scenes in it. In fact, there was only …

Ice Road Truckers: Convoy to Hell was a bit on the calm side, which is unusual for this reality series which airs weekly on the History Channel. Usually, the show has plenty of spice, but for whatever reason, the action seemed a bit tame. Then again, sometimes …

In Columbo: The Bye-Bye Sky High I.Q. Murder Case, which is one of the longest episode titles of any show, Theodore Bikel portrays Oliver Brandt. Brandt kills his friend and partner after the man threatens to expose his crooked dealings. Both are members of a private club …

In That Girl: Many Happy Returns, Ann Marie gets a visit from Leon Cobb, a G-man from the Internal Revenue Service, advising her that she owes a bunch of money for not paying the correct taxes in 1965, which was a few years before. As it turned out, …

Our youngest daughter was still awake last night so my wife and I ended up watching a Law & Order SVU re-run on TV until she finally fell asleep around 10. The episode that was showing was called “Criminal” and it was pretty decent.
In the episode, a graduate student …

The Simpsons go to the movie theater, and they watch separate movies. The kids watch something else, and Homer and Marge something else. Homer is very annoying throughout the movie, which finally makes Marge to yell at him in front of the entire audience. This hurts Homer a lot. …

I actually missed this fourth episode when it aired originally, but I’m happy to say that I’ve finally been able to see it. Even though going in, I know who won, there’s still the other groups, and I’m curious to see how my views line up with the …

The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie for Council is another terrific program from this legendary family show. As the title indicates, it’s all about Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) running for City Council in Mayberry. That’s something the men folk aren’t thrilled about at first. Here are a few …

I found this episode to be average or even below average. It was great acting and was shown in an interesting way, but at the same time, as more and more of the episodes turn up to be- the ending was really disappointing. I find it annoying, when …

I have no idea why I can’t seem to find much information on TLC’s show “One Big Happy Family.” This show features a family of overweight black people. There is a father, mother, son and daughter—”each of whom weighs over 300 pounds. I would say …

I have to say that I was disappointed that we didn’t get more of the boys in Canada. Apparently, it was just for the first episode. I really wish we’d been able to see the cabin being rebuilt. It’s a shame that we’re back in Chicago so …

From 1980, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says “What Are Friends For?” was the first one not directed and written by series creator, Steven J. Cannell, and it showed. While the essence of the wonderful characters of E.L. ‘Tenspeed’ Turner, played brilliantly by Ben Vereen, and Lionel Whitney, …

Stargate Atlantis: The Shrine is another fifth season program from this series’ final season on television. It’s the sixth show and in it, David Hewlett gets to stand out with his acting skills, such as they are, by playing a Rodney McKay who has gone from genius to …

The show ‘Prison Wives’ is a new show about women who have married men who, for the most part, will be spending the rest of their lives in prison. What is wrong with this picture? I can understand if your man will get out and you’ll be able to …

The more I see the show Destination Truth, the more I find myself liking it. None of the episodes have lived up to the first one I watched but they are still pretty close.
Last night’s episode “King Tut’s Curse/Swamp Ape” was probably the best thing I watched last night.
The …

That Girl: That Girl’s Daddy from season 5 is an interesting story in a way. It’s one that also has a continuity error. At the beginning of the show, Lou Marie (Lew Parker) is trying to get inside Ann Marie’s (Marlo Thomas) apartment when a policeman stops …

After debuting the character of Dr. Mark Sloan on Jake and the Fatman and then doing a few TV movies, Dick Van Dyke brought the entertaining physician to weekly television with Diagnosis Murder, which debuted in 1993.
The other regulars were Scott Baio as medical resident, Dr. Jack Stewart, Victoria …

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 …

“Battle Aboard the St. Anne” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series and it is the first part of a three episode story arc. This episode is an entertaining one for a number of reasons. First of all, this is the first time that the Team Rocket organization …

Tonight’s results show for Dancing with the Stars was the most enjoyable results show of the season. They didn’t have much fluff because before they actually got to the results, they had the conclusion to the competition for the new professional dancer for next season. Mayo Alanen …

That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy introduces Don’s sister, Sandy, played by Cloris Leachman. That surprised me. I hadn’t thought of Cloris as being the Hollinger type. She was quite bubbly here, playing a widow who had found a new romance with an …

What a marked improvement over the last episode this was. Both plotlines brought laughs throughout. Heck, even Buck had some great dialogue. Which is impressive as, by and large, using voice over to convey animal thoughts, from what I’ve seen, is rarely effective.
It’s interesting how both …

As folks who know me are aware, I’m not a big fan of Stargate Atlantis for many reasons, not the least of which is that I hold it responsible for the deterioration of quality on Stargate SG-1. Now that I’ve said that up front, here are both the …

Friends Episode: Chandler Moving to Yemen is again another good and funny episode of Friends. He is in a relationship with Janice and he is so stuck and so wanting to get out of the relationship. Janice appears in quite a few episodes in Friends and she has …

Synopsis: While on a ski vacation in Canada, Shawn and Gus run into an international art thief and try to help the local authorities capture him.
What I liked about this episode: I don’t think this show could have done any better of a casting job than choosing Cary Elwes …

The Virginian: The Brazen Bell brought a very interesting portrayal, courtesy of George C. Scott. Royal Dano also did his usual good job. Dano is a character actor who has done more roles than I can count. He’s in at least two shows from season 1 …

I have one word for The Twilight Zone: Probe 7, Over and Out, and the word is: rerun. If you want a phrase, it would be: been there, done that. While the story elements are different, this is a re-do of an earlier story called Two with …

This episode picks up where the cliffhanger from the previous episode left off, with the TARDIS taking the crew somewhere on its own. The destination is an alien world where a faction of humans is at war with a race of aliens called the Hath. Upon arrival, …

The most fascinating aspect to The Prisoner TV series for me has been the revolving door with the Number Two character. Number Two continues to change all the time, and I still don’t quite understand why that happens. Regardless, in The Prisoner: Dance of the Dead, Number …

Dirty Sexy Money is a show about a guy called Nick. Nick’s dad was a lawyer who worked for a family called the Darlings. When Nick’s dad dies in a plane crash Nick takes on the Darlings as clients and in the meanwhile tries to figure out …

Christmas is coming up soon, and its time once again for Christmas specials. I noticed that this year the Trailer Park Boys is going to be releasing their Christmas Special on DVD.
I watched this last year with great anticipation. As any of you Trailer Park Boys fans …

From season two, Broderick Crawford stars as Chief Dan Mathews in Highway Patrol: Magazine Writer. Crawford talks way too fast. It’s like speed talking. He had multiple moments in this show where he rattles off words so fast I barely know what he’s saying. He …

Well, this second episode of White Collar wasn’t too bad considering I had a few doubts after the pilot episode.
At least, in this case, which involved New York Fashion week, he actually proved why he was, at one point, a criminal mastermind and used his intelligence to help trap …

I do have a few comments and reactions about Fireball XL5: The Day the Earth Froze, which is one of 39 total black and white programs coming from the mind of puppet pioneer Gerry Anderson. One of which is that this show really has a thing for ice …

I’ve been a die-hard fan of Supernatural for four years now, watching it religiously since it first started in 2005. It originally attracted me by offering several hour-long, semi-related horror stories. While the story has since deviated from the original premise, delving deeper into the characters’ lives over the …
