Let me start off by saying that I am a very happy that most of the big TV networks have sites that allow you to watch a good deal of their programing on the net. I still watch regular TV but there are a number of times that programs …

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: The Millionaire’s Life aired originally in March 1980 and was the detective show’s fifth outing. By now, we’re pretty comfortable in the unique relationship that is building between Lionel Whitney (Jeff Goldblum) and sometimes con man, E.L. ‘Tenspeed’ Turner (Ben Vereen).
This episode actually shows …

Merlin’s Apprentice is not a sequel to the original 1998 Hallmark production,Merlin,which also starred Sam Neil in the title role and Miranda Richardson in the supporting cast. The 1998 Merlin is one of the few film interpretations of the Authurian legend that I like,and I also have always …

From season one, CHiPs: Taking Its Toll starts out all teary eyed with an onion caper. Enough said; it’s just very cliche.
The real thrust of this hour-long episode is Ponch’s discovery that Jon is reading a bunch of crime novels, especially those of author, Joseph Wambaugh. Soon, Ponch …

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 …

Adam-12: Log 76: The Militants is a rather serious episode of this thirty-minute police drama from the mind of Jack Webb. It begins with the shooting of a police officer and a black militant. It becomes a circus and one of those politically hyped stories where no …

Jeremiah: Things Left Unsaid: Part 2 is the season-ending episode for Jeremiah, a surprisingly good science fiction series that starred Luke Perry and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Neither of these two are favorites of mine, and when I began watching the DVD set that a friend gave me, I was …

The Andy Griffith Show: A Black Day for Mayberry , from November 1963 and a fourth year episode, is so funny, and it’s all because of Don Knotts, who plays that dopey and crazy, though well intentioned, Barney Fife. Poor Barney just wants to be important and be …

As far as “What’s New Scooby Doo” episodes are concerned, the one entitled “The Vampire Strikes Back” was better than some of the first season episodes I’ve watched.
This one actually had a legitimate mystery in it at least.
The episode features the Hex Girls (which I can only assume means …

The funny thing about the Bob Wire episode of Have Gun - Will Travel from season six is that I didn’t realize the title was the name of a character. I was thinking it was an object, like barbed wire. Alas, Bob Wire is the name of …

Honestly, I’d forgotten just how much Meeno Peluce cried during the Voyagers! series. He could compete with Doris Day, June Allyson, and Margaret O’Brien for being able to turn those tears on and off. It’s amazing. However, it’s not the best crier. He’s just able to …
