I don’t know why it appeals to me so much, but Starhunter is one of my favorite TV shows. Sure it is low-budget, nor does it have the greatest acting in the world, but there is a certain charm and appeal to the show nonetheless. Thus I …

This is an episode of “The Twilight Zone” which both my boyfriend and I enjoy more than many other episodes. I think it has also been seen as one of the more popular episodes of the television series which aired from 1959 to 1964. This might be because this …

If I wanted to cheer for a bully, I’d visit a street corner on skid row and watch bad boys beat up on helpless derelicts, at least I could feel that they were “conflicted” jerks.
I don’t know if I’m more pissed at the dysfunctional guests or Steve Wilkos …

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 best thing about Due South: A Likely Story is the story that Constable Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) tells both in the first and the last scenes. Gross is a good storyteller, and I understand that he’s a folk singer of some sort, so that may explain why …

Dream Cruise is an episode from the second season of the Showtime series Masters Of Horror. This episode centers on an American man living in Japan by the name of Jack. Jack keeps having flashbacks and sees himself drowning, which establishes his deep rooted fear of drowning. It is …

Freddy Moore is on a rampage. He’s the tool pusher, or supervisor of the evening shift that actually starts at 2 p.m. He’s out for a promotion, so he’s having the crew complete a lengthy ‘to do’ list. Freddy’s just not my cup of tea. …

The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man is in the top 5 of all episodes for —˜the best of the series’. It’s a well acted, well put together, and stunning story involving what might happen should Earth be the recipient of visitors from another planet.
We’ve seen in done many …

Top Chef: Covert Cuisine was unique in that for the elimination challenge, the dinner was actually held at the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Langley, Virginia. It’s not often a TV show is going to get inside the C.I.A. for something like this, so that was pretty intriguing.
The …

The Andy Griffith Show: Bargain Day is one of the always fun to watch outings for this classic television series that aired during its fourth season, back in March 1964. It all begins when Clara tells Aunt Bee about a new butcher shop in Mayberry. The end result …

The hit CBS television show 48 Hours has a new spin, and I’ll say up front that I like it. One of the things I’ve disliked about old episodes of 48 Hours is the drama brought about by the story teller, or reporter. It was like propaganda, …

I can’t help but like The Twilight Zone: From Agnes - with Love because it features the adorable Wally Cox in it. Cox plays a computer programmer named James Elwood who takes over working with a computer named Agnes.
Now there is something important to recognize when you watch …

I had intended on being in bed last night by 9. But, I ended up watching a re-run of Law & Order SVU; Raw. I have to tell you, it was one of the most intense episodes I’ve seen.
I missed the first few minutes of it but apparently they …

From season two, The Man Who Lost was the 31st episode of the year. Can you imagine that? The 31st, and it wasn’t the last one! The series was Have Gun - Will Travel, starring Richard Boone as the intellectual gunfighter for hire, Paladin. Whatever …

Season three of Highway Patrol continues with this episode called Efficiency Secretary, which is all about a dedicated secretary who suddenly switches to the wrong side of the law. There really isn’t a lot of time devoted to why she’d make this change, and that’s something I wish …

I have always thought that The Jamie Foxx Show is a very good show. I really like it and I enjoy it a lot. This is a show that started Jamie Foxx’s career. I find it funny that he was very arrogant and stuck up even while on this show. …

The Circuit was a pretty dreadful movie that had its world premier on ABC Family. That alone should have told me that it wasn’t going to be very good, but considering that it revolved around auto racing I decided to sit back and watch it. As an auto racing …

Teri Hatcher makes her second appearance on MacGyver in this episode called Soft Touch. While men may be beguiled by the smiling Penny Parker, she still just frustrates me. She’s a ditz, and I can’t stand how her ineptitude continues to get Mac into all kinds of …

The Earth Alliance President is going on a series of press summits to push for alien immigration reform. As it happens, one of his stops is on Babylon 5. Things hit a snag however when there is an explosion in one of the docking bays.
At …

Masters of Horror was a television series that aired on Showtime for two seasons. Since Showtime is a pay channel (and fairly expensive in my area), I didn’t see the episodes when they first aired. Instead I purchased the episodes as they were released on DVD, which happened at …

From August 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Sound of Thunder is a story about time travel and the implications of not following the rules. It’s pretty much that simple. That by itself I might enjoy, but sense the story utilizes hunting as its means of telling …

Synopsis: Late night talk show starring comedian David Letterman as the host; mixing comedy with musical performances and interviews with special guests.
What I liked about this show: I used to watch this show religiously when I was younger but haven’t watched it in a long time. In fact, the …

Season three of Roseanne was a good one because it started to set up some regular stories for the series, or at least the next few years. Crystal gets pregnant with Dan’s brother, Becky meets Mark and Roseanne instantly hates him, and Dan starts his motorcycle shop. Plus Roseanne …

OK, I have to say last night’s episode of Family Guy was a bit corny but still somewhat interesting.
The episode “Long John Peter” kind of stretched things a bit too far in my opinion with Peter getting a parrot and then deciding he wanted to be a pirate. This …

The Masters of Horror was something Showtime came up with awhile back that I thought was an unbelievably cool concept. All though all the different episodes of this series vary in quality, execution and production values I found something I liked in most of them. One of …

This episode of That Girl is almost like the third pilot for the series. The first pilot had some different elements in it and wasn’t shown on network TV. The second pilot, referred to as a preview show, showed how Ann Marie met her boyfriend, Donald Hollinger. …

Death Note episode 31 begins with a mob attacking the Special Provision for Kira and trying to bring them outside so that Kira will kill them. Near and his team manages to escape by disguising themselves as police and escape. Light is angry that they escaped but …

What I liked about this episode: A lot of times, the bad guys on this show are a little …

There were quite a few Stargate SG1 fans who were disappointed in this episode, or who ridiculed it. Episode 8 of season 4 - The First Ones - was one of my favorite episodes. Sure, people could accuse me of loving this episode because it was Daniel-centric …

This episode really impresses the fact the castaways are alone and isolated. There is the world and then the castaways. The world has no idea where they are or even know about their island, uncharted. So I also feel a bit alone while watching it. The representation of the …

The Secret life of the American Teenager focuses on a fifteen year old Amy who has a one night stand with a drummer at band camp and winds up pregnant.
Good concept, it’s new to bring a teen pregnancy into the spotlight and approach it with a little humour as …

The only reason I prefer Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Descent”, Part Two over part one is mainly because part two has more action. The story still makes very little sense, but at least there is some action to the story. The action I am referring to takes …

This episode is a bit different from the rest. There are no new points to the story. Instead the entire episode is used as a flashback on the events that had lead to the beginning of the series. It tells the stories of the dominant characters in the story …

This episode focuses on the triad. Orpheus discovers that the outrider, the same man who stole his wife, is able to travel between worlds and resolves to attempt to do the same.
We see the return of the master, who tries to give Orpheus some advice while …

The third outing of the short lived series, Mrs. Columbo, was called A Riddle for Puppets. Now this show has a few things going against it which led to its quick demise. The most obvious is that Kate Mulgrew, who stars in the title role, just …

The animation is wonderful, the story is lively, and when those two main characters start playing jazz I just can’t help but close my eyes and smile. The anime Sakamichi no Apollon (also known as Kids on the Slope in English) truly is a masterpiece. I am a big …

Stargate SG-1: Out of Mind is the final episode of the second season, and it’s the first part of a cliff hanger. It brings with it a tragic loss. I mourn it to this day. Alas, it was the end of the shag, of Michael Shanks’ …

For some reason, I always tend to forget what this show is about when it comes on TV. I have this idea of it in my mind and I turn it off, so I was surprised by it when I recently did view the entire program again. …

A programme that me and Lyndsey like watching on an evening is Come dine with me. There is an episode on each night of the week. Each night one of the five contestants hosts a dinner party while the other four mark them out of ten the …

For me, The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences is simply a grating and annoying experience, much like the main character the story surrounds. John McGiver does a nice job as Roswell G. Flemington, a man who loves noise and doesn’t care that he’s perceived as being obnoxious by …

I like to come home and watch the Oprah Winfrey show because I love the topics that Oprah examines on her show. She discuses the things that some other talk show hosts may not confront. I can’t even begin to count how many things I’ve learned just from watching …

In this episode, Sherry tries to connect to her dream man (Drew) through an Ouija board and she starts to receive messages telling her that he is real.
One of the elder vampires pays Dr. Murdoch a visit to his office and warns him about the stirring and about …

This episode of Law and Order Criminal Intent has a completely new feel to it. This is one of the first stories the show did that seemed more original, and less like a story we’ve previously seen on one of the other Law and Order franchise. The episode begins …

I really enjoy elements of Log 45: Bright Boy, a third season entry for the Adam-12 crime drama that aired for several seasons on NBC. There’s some nice banter at the beginning between the first crime segment, and that’s just how I like to see it happen.
My favorite …

The Virginian: The Masquerade, a sixth season episode, was one I found to be quite delightful. It was pretty lighthearted versus the serious tone of so many of these 90 minute episodes, and it featured David Hartman, who I often enjoy in his portrayals.
Hartman guest stars as well …

At some point, I knew Willow’s relationship with Oz was going to go south. After all, he’s a werewolf and, three nights out of the month, he has no control over his actions.
Of course, up until the time I saw the episode “Wild at Heart” I figured their impending …

Criminal Minds is a standing 8pm Wednesday night appointment in my home. I’m not sure why but this show that allows us to see directly into the evils of the human mind is addictive. Maybe it’s the interest I have always had in the art of profiling.
I love …

What to say about The Twilight Zone: Steel. This episode aired on October 4, 1963 is one of the half-hour shows from the final season of this superb science fiction series. The problem for me is that the show in its last two years had a lot …

Rose and The Doctor travel trough time and they usually solve problems that occur in that particular day they visited. This time The Doctor wanted to take Rose to Italy in 1860 but arrived in Cardiff in 1989 when the dead people started awakening. The two of them arrive …

From May 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Pandora’s Box was the 35th show of the fifth season for this Richard Boone western series. This outing had some politics to it and those aren’t usually shows I enjoy that much. Basically, Paladin (Boone) is asked to bring …
