My daughters have been watching Spongebob Squarepants all day today (yes,I know I really should be making them do something more constructive) and, as a result of that, I’m seeing episodes of the show I haven’t seen in a while. One of the episodes is actually one of my …

Machine-Napping is the second episode of Highway Patrol, which starred Broderick Crawford as the commanding Chief Dan Mathews. There’s no doubt this man is the leader of the California Highway Patrol.
At issue, and it seems odd for it to be a 1955 show, but it is, is a …

There are a couple of interesting points to Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 20 - Friends and Lovers that kept me viewing with anticipation.
First, there was another face off between Simon (Richard Dean Anderson) and Jack (Charles Frank) over Celia (Susan Dey). It’s such a twisted triangle that isn’t …

The season finale of Ice Road Truckers was called New King of the Dalton, which gives away part of the story from the beginning. Obviously, the laid back veteran Jack Jessee wasn’t going to be the king of the road again with this episode moniker.
A good part of …

Burn Notice: Scatter Point from season two is the first non-Michael Shanks episode that I can say I really enjoyed. It had me pretty much from the beginning when Michael and Fiona were trying to find Carla’s hangout. There was a funny bit with a pizza delivery …

One thing I’ve noticed in the final season of Monk is the cases are somewhat easy to solve but the episodes still manage to be entertaining from a comedy standpoint.
This was the case last night with Happy Birthday Mr. Monk.
The episode, of course, had Monk celebrating his (50th) birthday. …

One of the things that worked against Legend is that it was on the new UPN network. They didn’t have the stamina to let the series grow and really find its strength. Still, what we do have are a collection of tales in which actors Richard Dean …

It was kind of strange watching a House episode without character James Wilson having at least a small part in it; as was the case with the episode Adverse Events. I certainly hope they aren’t writing him off the show completely and he’ll be back soon. It’s just not …

The reason that Highway Patrol: Girl Bandit is such a success is its primary guest star, Jeanne Cooper. Cooper has a commanding presence, something that is still evident today as she continues to be a major force on the daytime drama, The Young and the Restless. In …

This is a documentary series that I’ve seen air from time to time on the cable television station National Geographic. I’m not quite sure how many of them there are either, but I’ve watched the episode about Bigfoot and others.
The one I watched just a couple minutes ago …

If you’re looking for something creepy to watch and don’t necessarily want to watch a movie, I would really recommend seeing the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Killed by Death.”
Hospitals, in my opinion, are creepy enough. But, what if you had some sort of invisible demon walking the halls …

Medium Season 4 Episode 3- To Have and to Hold
This time they have manages to write a really freaky episode. Not that it was stranger than usual, is that the creepy guy in the episode went all the way to create that fantasy that creeped me out. But then …

Oscar was very funny in the opening explaining to Michael, “like he …

Episode number four from Tenspeed and Brown Shoe is another one of those long, crazy titles. It’s called The Sixteen Byte Data Chip and the Brown-eyed. Below are a few thoughts about this March 1980 episode.
–For once, the romance was turned around. In the first three …

This program came on TLC and I was so amazed by the families and the children that I saw. They were absolutely huge. Not just tall people, but actually really large. There was this one girl from Thailand who was to travel to England to find …

My wife didn’t stay up to watch it, but I managed to see the latest episode of Psych last night; Not So Close Encounters. And, so far, I think it is the best one I have seen this season.
Basically, we learn early on that Shawn and Gus are obsessed …

M*A*S*H: The Korean Surgeon features Soon-Tek Oh once again. As I’ve said before, this Asian actor has been in everything under the sun, and he might as well be a regular on this wartime comedy because he’s been on a bunch of them. In this particular show, …

It’s been a while since they had a fresh new episode of Monk and I was really impressed with the fact they got Howie Mandel to play the role of a cult leader. But, overall, this was a bit of a disappointment. I guess I expected a lot more …

“The Simpsons” is one of the animated series first aired by the cable television channel FOX which I have and will always consider as a classic. I have seen many popular culture references to it in movies and even other cartoons such as “South Park.” However, I think what …

I really like “window shopping” that channel. They have some very nice reasonably priced merchandise.

Well, it’s not everyday you get to see ghost hunters invited to a military base by the US military. But, that’s exactly what happened in this season four episode and it was somewhat interesting.
The ghost hunt itself was a bit boring. They had the one scene where they supposedly …

I never thought I would be a fan of Charm School. Still, I can’t say that I am a fan. But I’ve caught a few episodes and have found them to be somewhat charming actually. The ladies are all from other shows. And …

I am a huge fan of 1980’s hair bands. So when I bought satellite tv and it came with a huge list of music channels, I was extatic to find out that a whole channel was dedicate to music from big hair bands from the 80’s.
I have always …

Stargate SG-1: Family Ties is not really my style. It opens with Sam and Vala returning from a shopping trip, the two all decked out and drawing attention as they walk down the corridors of the SGC. I guess they wanted to show these two are friends. …

Part 3 of Devices and Desires, a six-part series based on the P.D. James novel, has the standout line of the first three parts, and probably of the entire story. Spoken by Caroline Amplett to the very naive Jonathan when she says, “You say you love me but …

This is the first episode that starts out really great series. The episode is mostly introduction of the characters and events that are to follow throughout the season. Southernmost part of the main characters in the show are discovering their powers. …
