Captain Sig Hansen runs the Northwestern, an enormous crab fishing rig that operates in the Bering Sea of Alaska. I like getting to watch Captain Sig and the Northwestern crew on the Dicovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch”. It’s intersting for me to watch him interact with his deckhands, …

I am embarrassed to admit that as an African-American I am just now seeing the mini-series Roots for the first time in my late twenties. BET recently had a marathon of it for Black History Month, and I thought it would be the perfect time for me to sit …

The Greatest Story Never told is everything that I love about Justice League Unlimited. The plot is simple but mostly irrelevant. A powerful magician is attacking Metropolis and everyone in the league is sent to stop him, but this story isn’t really about that.
This story is about Booster Gold. …

Coming off the heels of the wonderful City of Roses episode, Firewall continues to add excellence in entertainment for the Jeremiah science fiction series. One of the good things about this series, which Luke Perry both stars in and acts as the executive producer of, is that we …

“My Mother Can Beat Up My Father” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. In this episode, an intoxicated man in a bar that’s a part of a fancy restaurant openly flirts with Laura and insults Rob. Rob stands up to the guy, who promptly punches him …

As the second season of the Big Boss show ended this weekend, it was proved yet again that to sustain yourself in this madhouse and win the show you do not have to be the centre of attention! Or be the everyday newsmaker! All you need is to cut …

Denise Bauer second-chairs Shirley Schidmt in defending a state congressman who is used under traditional state tort law. The solon maintained that it was an official act of congress and he enjoys immunity thus making him not liable.
Alan Shore is defending Catherine Piper ( Betty White ) who …

We had another performance show for America’s Got Talent on August 3rd where several acts did their thing in the hopes of moving forward to the next levels of the finals. Below are a few impressions on some of the acts from the evening.
Da Maniacs. They began …

In the early moments of the first episode of The Prisoner television series, I have eerie glimpses of Farenheit 451 and Logan’s Run. I believe this 1967 series predates both of those movies, but it’s just odd seeing some of those things that make me think of the …

Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 2 is a reality TV show where self help author Tony Robbins helps people find a breakthrough to their problems. Ron and Marie are having marital and financial toubles and they come to Tony for help.
This was a great episode, it was very …

This episode revolves around the team finding a man in stasis on a planet. At first they believe his story that he was captured, held prisoner and experimented on but after Daniel goes through the data, he finds something that changes that. The man, Kalek, is actually …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky Is Falling, the sixth show of the series, and it opens with what I’m sure is footage from some ‘B’ horror movie. It looked really familiar to me, but I can’t place it. It’s always a hoot to …

Peter Falk returns in Columbo: Mind Over Mayhem, a pretty intriguing entry from the third season of the crime drama. There’s a very recognizable and talented guest cast, too.
The show opens with Neil Cahill (Robert Walker, Jr.) talking about a new, groundbreaking theory. Only there’s a problem …

This episode largely deals with the fallout from the previous issue. Mulder is presumed dead and Scully is in hot water with her superiors for her insubordinate actions. While they say that she’s only on extended leave, Scully is convinced that her days at the FBI are …

In this review, I take a look at Painkiller Jane, Episode 10 from Season 1. The title of the episode is “Portraits of Lauren Grey.” In this scene from Sci Fi’s original series, imagine the lives of runway models: with all the quick-changes, back-stabbing, stereotypical self-image issues. …

There’s a dramatic opening to Adam-12: Log 66: The Vandals when Officers Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Jim Reed (Kent McCord) pull over two men and one of them pulls a gun. That gets your heart pumping. What I notice most, though, is that the character of …

I had never heard of this series before and decided to check it out on Netflix. I was really apprehensive at first, wondering whether I would enjoy something that clearly seemed like a silly chick series. I have learned from experience that the erotic chick series has …

Of the first three episodes of Masquerade, Girls for Sale is the most fun to watch. I love the guest stars and how some of them are recruited.
The show begins with a nice beach scene where Lynda Day George’s character of Jackie recruits a young woman (Mary Beth …

Kids’ Stuff is the fifth episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. As you could imagine from the title, yes this episode involves four of the Justice Leaguers being turned into children. Surprisingly, the episode manages to be wildly entertaining and funny and avoids the curse that …

Ouran High School Host Club is probably one of the most favorite anime series I have ever watched and it’s one of the few shows I actually got to finish watching. It’s a funny anime, mixed with outrageous characters and cute romantic scenes that’s it’s bound to make you laugh, …

I had a chance to catch a re-run of Hogan’s Heroes while at home for lunch today; “Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up.”
I came in a bit late to see the first few minutes of the episode so, in all honesty, I can’t tell you exactly what was …

The TV show lost was a great show when it first came up and than somewhere down the line the producers made the show just go all stupid. Seriously, the show was addictive when the first few seasons came out and was so on the edge of your seat …

Dancing With the Stars, Week 4 of the 11th season, was another entertaining show. I’m not really that crazy about all of the celebrities performing on the show this season, but they have been better than anticipated. This show was different, too, because it was performed in …

This edition of Cupcake Wars was a competition whereby the winner would be presenting their cupcakes on display at an OK Magazine matchmaking party. Cupcakes are apparently becoming a hot and trendy thing around the country, something that fascinates me to a point. I’ve always loved cupcakes, …

The Winds of War: Cast and Characters featurette focuses on the obvious as the title relates, the cast and characters of this epic mini-series which captivated America to the point that it average a 54 ratings share, which is huge.
There were several interesting bits included in this featurette. …

Star Trek: Requiem for Methuselah had the Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beaming down to what they believed was a world without anyone living on it. They needed a substance available on the surface that would fight Rigelian fever, a deadly illness that was spreading through the crew. …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Gotcha! begins innocently enough with what seems to be a standard love story. Saul Rubinek stars as John Griffiths, who goes to a masquerade party dressed up like Oliver Hardy. He then meets Alicia Hart (Kate Lynch), who happens to be dressed as …

“Goodbye To All That” is a pretty cool continuation of the second season, much thanks to the new terminator baddie in this episode, a T-888 played by none other than Patrick Kilpatrick, making us feel like it’s the movie “Class of 1999″ all over again (for those of you …

That Girl: What’s in a Name is a re-do of the series pilot which had a somewhat different cast. In that version, aspiring actress Ann Marie’s boyfriend, Donald Hollinger, was also her agent. Her parents, Lou and Helen, were played by Harold Gould and Penny Santon. …

From November 1956, Highway Patrol: Typhoid Carrier has Chief Dan Mathews (Broderick Crawford) and his California Highway Patrol dealing with a potential outbreak of typhoid in the small community of Indian Valley. The problem is a man who is a known carrier of the disease. Frightened when …

This episode starts by replaying the last episode shrunk down to a couple of minutes, which was a disappointing way to begin in my opinion because there was nothing worthwhile about the last episode, and then the fight continues. This time at least the fight is a little better …

We’ve been watching a lot of Christmas specials on TV the past couple of days and came across one I hadn’t seen before; even though it has been out for some time.
At first, I thought A Jetson’s Christmas Carol would end up being a predictable and boring story. I …

Stargate SG-1: Bounty gets mixed reviews, which isn’t that all surprising as season ten starts to wrap up. In this episode, Netan of the Lucian Alliance puts out a bounty on SG-1, all of whom are on downtime of some sort of another.
The oddest segment is Mitchell returning …

M*A*S*H: Taking the Fifth is somewhat of a bore in my opinion. I didn’t really like either of the two main stories that take up the thirty minutes that this show airs. One segment dealt with Corporal Max Klinger (Jamie Farr) paying off a debt to Hawkeye …

Another new character steals the show in this episode, and that is a good thing. This character, Rock Lee, is another Konoha gennin but is older than Naruto and team. Rock Lee challenges Sasuke to a fight and easily dispatches a hasty Naruto and then begins his fight with …

“She’ll Still Be Dead At Halftime” is the episode of Two And A Half Men airing on CBS on March 2, 2009. This was not one of the show’s better episodes, as Charlie came off as sleazier than normal, and even Jake acted creepy.
Pros: This episode …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Fee Fie Foe Fum aired in October 1992 and featured All in the Family’s lovable Jean Stapleton as Grandma. Co-starring in the half hour episode was Lucy Lawless as Liddy Barton and Robert Morelli as Tom. There’s also a pretty white dog. …

Wagon Train: The Gus Morgan Story is not one of my favorites. It really never appealed to me. It bores me, to be honest. Peter Falk is the main star, playing Gus Morgan. Also appearing is Tommy Sands as Gus’ brother, Ethan Morgan. The …

I have never been a fan of anything that features zombie. But I happened to watch High School of the Dead because I want to watch something new in the world of anime and zombies in anime are not as scary as the “real” zombies in movies or TV …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Keeper of the Flame is a pure father and son outing for the series. Airing in January 1962 during the second season, the tale focuses on young Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) and is new role as the Keeper of the Flame for the …

The second episode of the first season of Veronica Mars is a crucial one is setting up the relationship between Veronica Mars and Weevil, the leader of the PCH motorcycle gang. This relationship establishes one of the the essential themes of the show: class. Weevil and Veronica areoutsiders because …

Touching Evil: Mercy was the season ender for this show. It began with a more detailed look at David Creegan’s near-death three years earlier. I had thought maybe they were going to focus on that completely and maybe get the shooter, but it was just more background …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Waters, episode 7 of year 3, guest starred Don Gordon as Stan Kowalski. This show proves that if you can stick it out long enough, being a recurring character can get you your own story. Del Monroe has played …

In this episode Lucy has her finances all in a mess, and suddenly she’s living in a dark house, with no phone. So, Ricky decides to hire a business manager. This episode is a perfect example of the usual episode arch.
The actor that plays Mr. Hickcox, the business …

Well, I guess that explains the commandos running around Sunnydale. Apparently there’s some sort of government run group known as the Initiative and they are interested in capturing and experimenting on vampires; including Spike (who was captured the episode before).
I couldn’t figure out a whole lot about this group …

From season 5, That Girl: A Limited Engagement just may be the most dramatic show from the entire five years. It’s also quite probably the best episode from the entire run as well. While there are laughs, the show isn’t full of them. They’re there as …

In March 1964, The Andy Griffith Show: The Shoplifters aired, and it’s a pretty hysterical half hour of entertainment. It certainly has its moments anyway.
It begins with more of Andy and Barney gossiping in their patrol car as they sit and watch the townsfolk walking by. It’s …

I truly believe that Stargate Universe is one of the most boring shows on television. I don’t like it and I think it’s a horrible spin off that is shameful since it comes from a beautifully done show like Stargate SG-1. I had, however, had a lot …

Changing Lanes: Back to Basics was the latest hour to air on BET which followed Revolution Racing, the team sponsored by Max Siegel, and its goal to bring diversity of racers into the NASCAR community. In the last episode, the top ten racers had been chosen from the …

Log 56: Vice Versa is one of Adam-12’s best episodes in the entire series. The third season episode begins with the duty shift lined up for inspection. This is when Sergeant MacDonald (William Boyett) discovers that Officer Pete Malloy’s (Martin Milner) driver’s license has expired. That …
