An Exercise in Fatality in one of the Columbo episodes I remember very well. It made a strong impression and I never tire of seeing it. Here are a few of the hits and misses for me about this show from season four.
–Robert Conrad is perfect casting …

One of my favorite things that I used to love doing was watching the old television game shows on the Game Show Network. I loved watching everything from “Card Sharks” to “What’s My Line.” For me, the shows that come on today do not compare. They …

60 minutes is a great investigative news show that comes on CBS. The show usually focuses on a few different news stories every night and takes a deeper look at a the story, often from a different perspective than is generally portrayed in the news. The show has interviews …

Giada’s Weekend Getaways is one of my favorite feature shows in Lifestyle Channel. I watch this show every time I can, and I have even stooped to watching re-runs. I always watch Giada de Laurentiis when she appears on other TV shows like Iron Chef because she is such …

This is a Foxtel channel that I love mainly for Eastenders, the poisoness Pauline, scheming Ian and gossiping Dot are fantastic. I watched this show when it first started and I was living in the UK and for the past year (thanks Foxtel) I have caught up …

Are you looking for the right television channel for your children? I suggest you to get Play House Disney Channel. Normally, you can get this special channel from the cable TV company that offer their services to your house.
I also get it from the cable Tv company in this …

The opening teaser in CHiPs: Cry Wolf is memorable and funny, not for the actual plot, but because they show stock footage of Station 51 from Emergency! responding. Then when we get to the scene and it’s a different engine and squad and it’s now numbered ‘519′. …

Star Trek: The Changeling is another nifty show from the beginnings of this science fiction series. It’s a favorite that I never tire of seeing. Basically, what we have is the Enterprise encountering a highly sophisticated computer that calls itself Nomad. It’s a probe long thought …

Peter goes gay in this so-so instalment of the popular animated serial, but unfortunately this simple enough idea turns out a disappointing twenty or so minutes.
The story is as simple has ever, with a to be expected ludicrous set up. Peter buys a retarded horse, enters into a derby, …

Trigun Episode 16 has Vash the Stampede travelling to Augusta City looking for Legato, who wants him to fight. There he encounters E.G. Mine, one of the Gung Ho Guns and things change forever as history starts to repeat itself.
This episode was really good, it had character development …

Stargate SG-1: The Sentinel has SG-1 split as they try and fix a problem that was caused by another team’s visit.
Throughout the episode, Jack is in the ‘city’, appearing in scenes with Henry Gibson, famous from the Laugh-In television series. Gibson does nothing for me here, not that …

I’ve seen the Psych episode “Woman Seeking Dead Husband-Smokers OK, No Pets,” once before. But, it was some time ago (when it first was aired) and I didn’t remember a whole lot about it. So, I got a chance to watch it and found it was
fantastic.
This episode had Shawn …

The-N is a very popular channel for young adults. Nickelodeon is actually what made the-n but it’s more grown up. The-N has changed a lot since it first came out. first of all it used to only be at night, from six pm to six am, Noggin used to …

Fireball XL5: The Sun Temple aired in December 1962 for the first time, bringing us another adventure for Colonel Steve Zodiac and his XL5 crew.

From 1960, Have Gun - Will Travel: Out at the Old Ball Park was an oddly entertaining version of this western series which starred Richard Boone as gunfighter for hire, Paladin. I really liked the opening bit because it caught me off guard. We’re again at the …

What they were thinking cancelling this amazing series after the fourth episode I don’t know. But if you can get your hands on it, I strongly recommend buying the full series of Wonder Falls on DVD.
Why watch something that was cancelled so prematurely? Because the people that were …

Thomas Gibson, Joe Mantegna, Paget Brewster, Matthew Gray Gubler, Kristen Vangsness, and Shemar Moore return for another dramatic hour in Criminal Minds: Compromising Positions. The BAU team is still undergoing transition from the loss of JJ. One of the big moments in this process occurs when Vangsness’ …

I thought it was a pretty decent episode. I enjoyed it, although I felt it was a little bit slow. And despite the fact that Reid is supposed to have these special mental skill and photographic memory, I thought it was just a little bit too much how he …

Dr. Phil Show
I must warn you, this show is truly addictive. It might solve your problems, but it might turn you into a hopeless couch potato who prefers to sit down all day and solve life’s problems instead of causing the usual trouble.
In this show Dr. Philip McGraw is …

Well this one has taken a lot of knocks this year. My enthusiasm to watch it was off and on before I actually turned on the DVD. However, after the first episode my negativity was calmed and I was ready to watch more! From the start …

Even though we rarely watch new episodes of Family Guy (we usually want to screen them before our daughter sees them), my wife wanted to watch last night’s episode because Hugh Laurie guest starred in a spoof of his well-known Gregory House character; a person who doesn’t play by …

I love this dancing show from the first time that I watched Mario Lopez flash his dimples. I have to give it to the producers of this show. Their choice of dance crews is really good. I enjoy the fast paced dancing that every crew dishes out. As Shane …

The Little Einstiens is a cartoon program for children ages zero to probably about five years old that airs at eight o’clock on Saturday mornings (EST) on the Disney Channel. My children have fallen in love with this group of explorative youngsters as they embark upon different journeys …

I laughed my butt off when I watched the first season of Golden Girls. All of the characters seemed so undeveloped at the time. I don’t mean the acting skills, but in how the actresses came to “know” their characters.
The pilot always cracks me up. Blanche, played by Rue …

Leslie Nielsen guest stars in M*A*S*H: The Ringbanger as Colonel Buzz Brighton. He’s been wounded, though his injuries aren’t that severe. Hot Lips Houlihan (Loretta Swit) recognizes him immediately from an article in Stars and Stripes and is thoroughly impressed. As for Hawkeye (Alan Alda) and …

Dominion is the second to the last episode of Stargate SG-1 and frankly, it bored me stiff. I don’t like the Ori, don’t care about Adria, don’t like Ba’al, and am just extremely frustrated by Daniel not being Daniel, not to mention all the times he’s been put …

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 follow this Australian police drama called City Homicide which deals with the homicides that an Australian police team of investigators try to solve. The homicides are complex, and most are not set in black in white. I struggled with the accent for several episodes, but now I find …

This 1961 outing, The Twilight Zone: The Passersby, isn’t a big favorite of mine, but it is a good show. I think the reason I’m not fond of it is because it’s somewhat dark. There isn’t really anything happy about it, and I prefer happy stories.
It’s the …

One of the series that I started watching recently was “666 Park Avenue”. It was recommended to me by another fan of the series Supernatural who swore that I would not only enjoy it, but be just as hooked. The series is still in is infant stage as it …

The closing ceremonies for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics were a mixed bag of hits and misses.

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 …

Finally, a Monk episode that gets back down to the basics. You have a suspect that everyone knows is the murderer but nobody can prove and it’s up to Monk to find the clues that aren’t obvious to beat him.
This episode has him pitted against a genius and it …

Watch What Happens: Live is new to the Bravo Channel in 2009 and personally, I think it needs to go away and be a memory. I just wasn’t impressed at all by what I saw. The only reason I tuned in was to see who the Top …

I’m not really crazy about The Twilight Zone: A Passage for Trumpet, although I do like the punch that it gets at the end. This half-hour episode revolves around a depressed trumpet player, Joey Crown, who is portrayed by Jack Klugman. It’s a solid performance. I …

First of all, owning the Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a feel good, science fiction, and sentimental thing for me, so watching these shows again was really wonderful.
The five-disk set have a collector’s box that they fit …

When I heard that the CW was debuting a vampire-themed show, my first thought was something along the lines of “Here we go again!” I will be the first person to admit my cynicism about the latest vampire craze, and I was very quick to apply this cynicism to …

Episode 8 of season 3 of NCIS Los Angeles was as entertaining and engaging as ever. The storyline was unexpected, important matters and lives were on the line, all accompanied with a healthy dose of humor and inside jokes. There were, however, a few things that I did not …

Gene Roddenberry tackles Eden yet again in Star Trek: The Apple. The series creator seems to love to show that books shouldn’t be judged by their covers and that living easy isn’t necessarily living. Man never quite finds paradise in Star Trek.
Another red shirt goes down before …

Highway Patrol: : Christmas Story was the last show of the first season, airing in June, which seems odd, but that’s okay. Maybe the records are wrong about that, or maybe that is how early television was and I’m just too into what I consider to be normal.
In …

This episode starts with a teen-age boy showing up at the SGC and claiming to be O’Neill. Sam doesn’t believe him and give him a lecture on how much trouble he is in. Daniel believes it is a joke and Teal’c is wondering how a child came …
