It …

Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 1- Payback
An interesting beginning to a series. Although I think it was a little bit too dramatic, it did make an impact and was interesting to watch. The only thing that really bothered me was that by trying to introduce …

My wife decided she would rather talk to her pretend friends on Facebook last night than spend any time with me so I turned on another re-run of the show Psych that I had not seen before. This time around, it was the season 3 episode Disco Didn’t Die, …

This feature, Life Beyond Trek: Leonard Nimoy, is really fascinating. As the title indicates, it delves into Nimoy’s life beyond the famous Star Trek series. In his case, it doesn’t even involve acting. In this wonderful piece, the man shares with viewers his love of photography.
I’ve …

Twilight Zone Episode “One for the Angels” Season 1. Episode 2
The original Twilight Zone aired for a number o f seasons in the 1950s. Often imitated but never duplicated, it was a famous and very popular show. It featured a different story every episode, with a supernatural theme and …

It took seven years for Producer Robert C. Cooper to admit Michael Shanks could act (duh), and the admission came with Stargate SG-1: Lifeboat, a season seven entry that was a showcase for Shanks’ enormous acting talent.
In this show, Daniel becomes a lifeboat of sorts to several other consciousness’, …

I once again sat down to watch an episode of Futurama with my oldest daughter last night. And, since it was the next one on the DVD, we ended up watching the season 1 episode entitled “Mars University.”
This one was an OK episode but not an overly great one. …

The only time I really watch Danny Phantom is when my cousins come over. They are ages three, six, eight and ten. I think it’s a pretty cool show from what I’ve seen. I also like some of the messages it teaches kids. There was one episode when there …

Mr. Krabs starts to dig threw other people’s trash to hold a sale and make some money. I think that is so funny because it just goes to show how cheap he really is. He convinces Spongebob to buy a really ugly hat he found in the …

Since Slash has made his new solo album and everyone has cited it as a very good album. Slash and Myles Kennedy were filmed for a live MTV launch program to promote the album as well as play some classic Guns N’ Roses hits live. I watched this concert …

In CHiPs: Crack-Up, Jon is injured chasing a couple of drag racers. We get some good time angst for a few minutes while we wait to find out the results, like we didn’t know he’d pull through. I love this kind of stuff, though. All that …

Dora the Explorer is a great childrens cartoon on Nick Jr. My three year old is in love with Dora and her monkey side kick, Boots. This is one cartoon that actually keeps her attention. It is set to get the kids interacting and learning at the same time. …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter is written by Gene Roddenberry in his pre-Star Trek days. I have to give the show credit here, too, because it brought back characters regularly for follow ups; at least, that’s what has been happening in the first …

I was watching the tail end of a Home Improvement episode today at lunch “To build or Not to build” and will say I was very impressed with it.
I wasn’t sure what the episode was about at first, but it turns out it was a Mother’s Day episode revolving …

Columbo: Ransom for a Dead Man is the first official outing for the TV series, Columbo. I believe this actually began as a mystery movie of the week, airing once a month in rotation with other mystery movies. The series was spawned by a movie called Prescription: …

It has been a while since I’ve seen the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Jonathan. The last time we saw him was during season three, when he attempts to kill himself and Buffy stops him.
We see him again in the episode “Superstar” only this time he is a member of …

“Anderson Cooper 360” is a live news broadcast on CNN and CNN International that is billed as a show that takes you beyond the headlines. Due to the skill of the primary anchor and reporter, Anderson Cooper, as well as his entire team of reporters and producers, I …

Burgess Meredith is back for yet another appearance on this classic, groundbreaking science fiction series. In The Twilight Zone: Printer’s Devil , he’s essentially the devil, and he’s brilliant. In my opinion, you can take all of Meredith’s appearances from The Twilight Zone and get a well …

When Monk producers got into a financial dispute with Bitty Schram, many fans criticized their decision to part ways with character Sharona Fleming. I wasn’t one of them.
While Sharona was an OK assistant to the crime fighting detective, I just never liked her character. She was a bit too …

Extreme Makeover is a television series where each week they show 2 people who think they are ugly and want to have an entire makeover. The makeover consists of not only clothes, hair and makeup and weight but of plastic surgery. Unfortunately I think it does …

CHiPs: Rustling from season one actually had what I would call the first serious storyline, one that was emotional on a deep level. Most of the time, things are light or perhaps angry, and there’s been emotion, but not quite like this.
G.W. Bailey plays a drunk driver who …

This review is for Undercover Boss Australia: Domino’s Pizza, which was the first episode of the series filmed for Australian television. In it, Don Meij, CEO of Dominos goes out and about. He runs the facility for Australia, New Zealand, France, and two other countries.
He starts out …

This episode finds the team battling a banshee. I love the fact that different mythological aspects get worked into the show. It makes for a nice variety and it adds a certain depth and complexity to the Ghostbusters world. The good news is that, as banshees …

I first discovered Guiding Light when I was young I can’t even remember how old I was. I used to watch it on every holiday, and during the entire Summer of vacation. As I got older and began to do teenage things my faithfulness faltered as cable television and …

I think that this is the best soap opera to ever come out of the UK. I watched the very first episode in Feb 1985 when I was living in England, then I missed a number of years until I discovered UKTV on Foxtel Australia which has …

I think The Parkers is an OK TV show. Sometimes they show was funny, but I was annoyed by it at times. I really think this show was not written very well. The main plot of the show was Monique the fat woman trying to hook up with the professor. …

Star Trek returned to television as in animated series in 1973 and included most of the original stars voicing their characters. It really does feel like Kirk et al are out there exploring. Star Trek: Yesteryear is the second episode and was quite wonderful overall to watch.
This …

A Man Called Hawk: Intensive Care is a change of pace in that it’s your classic stand off in a public place, complete with hostages. It all begins with an armored car robbery that really wasn’t handled very well. In the first place, that robbery was horribly …

Just when we thought the evil John Bly was gone, he’s back in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Bye Bly. Big time groan. As played by Billy Drago, he just is one weird looking bad guy. However, this is the show that gives us a …

Come on now, did we honestly think Cameron would step into Cuddy’s job and be an instant success at it? The second that was even suggested last week I had to laugh. Since when can any woman on the show House say no to him? Especially one that owes …

Super Mario World - “Party Line” is an episode that is similar to “The Wheel Thing” as both episode involve Mario reinventing a modern convenience that the cave people of Dome City do not have access to or knowledge of. In the case of both episodes, at first Mario’s …

I am a huge fan of the television series Monk. However, Friday’s episode, Mr. Monk and the Leper was a bit of a disappointment.
While the show still kept most of it’s trademark comedy, the episode seemed to lack a lot of the mystery that has kept it a top …

When impressions are done well, they can be funny and enjoyable but The Impressions Show on BBC is a little embarrassing to watch to be honest. Im never keen on watching comedy sketch shows where canned laughter is used to make people think the jokes are funny and …

From the Earth to the Moon - Part 5: Spider gets my immediate attention because it begins with the theme song to Fireball XL-5. I adore that old series from the mind of Gerry Anderson. It was very dear to a very dear friend of mine, and he …

The Defining Moment is a mix of boring and seriousness and at the same time, isn’t that bad to watch. I’m still watching this TV Drama, but judging by the first few episodes, a lot has to be said and I could see some ‘repeats’ of other local TV …

Diagnosis Murder: Misdiagnosis Murder is a show I just don’t enjoy. It’s heavy on the Dr. Jesse Travis (Charlie Schlatter) character, and he’s my least favorite of all. He never follows orders, and he’s so hyper in this outing from the lack of sleep that I just want …

I was rather surprised when I realized that TLC was releasing a show called “Who Are You Wearing.” I was even more surprised to see an old school mate hosting the show. Keisha Nash-Whitaker (wife of Oscar Award winner, Forest Whitaker) hosts a show in which …

Allison has another dream (she has them a lot, well I guess that’s the whole point of the show, isn’t it). In this dream she hears and sees the song “I Will Survive” playing loudly and she is dancing to it as if she was in a video clip. …

The Rachel Zoe Project: Changes in the Zoe Camp was the season 3 premier for this cable reality show that follows the activities of stylist Rachel Zoe. For me, Zoe is too self-involved. She gets orgasmic over fur, Chenille, and almost any fashion designer who will let …

Hockey is the center theme in Due South: The Blue Line. I’m not a hockey fan, but people in cold, icy climates like Chicago and Canada love it, so here we are. The setup for the show is a bit different, though, and I like that. …

When the news of a cease fire leaks out, the 4077th begins to party. M*A*S*H: Ceasefire deals with how each of the unit deals with the news that the fighting might be over and they could soon be going home. Of particular interest to the subtle funny …

This 30th outing from Season 4 of Highway Patrol, a half hour police drama starring Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, is entitled Prisoner Exchange Copter. I was rather glad to see another show that gave us helicopters in the plot. If you go back and count …

Last night was probably the fourth or fifth time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “Simpson and Delilah” and I still think it is an interesting episode.
