Stanly is rarely given much to do on The Office. In many episodes he seems to only be there so Michal can be racially insensitive, but the actor is very funny and it’s good to see an episode where he has more to do.
In this episode, Stanly disrespects Michal …

Columbo: The Complete First Season on DVD is a really nice product for fans of this iconic detective series to own. It’s really well done. It begins with a nice box that the disk holder slides into. It keeps everything as pristine as possible.

There’s an exciting spark to Adam-12: Pick-up from season four, and it’s all because of a wonderful guest star appearance by Barbara Hale. Looking like the beautiful Della Street of Perry Mason, here she plays Mrs. Jessup, a mother called to the station to deal with her teenage …

The most important element about Dragon at the Door, which was the third season premier of the western series, Laramie, is that it returned the show to its original premise just a tad. When Laramie debuted in 1959, it was a regular cast of four — John Smith, …

Bernard Fox makes his first appearance as Malcolm Merriweather in this March 1963 episode of The Andy Griffith Show called Andy’s English Valet. It’s a charming entry that eventually has Malcolm working as a valet for Andy and Opie (Ron Howard).

The thing …

I have to keep reminding myself that Diefenbaker the wolf is a regular and isn’t going to have a sad ending, but I have to admit it’s hard. I’m just a huge animal lover and can’t stand seeing anything bad or sad happen. Due South: Pizzas and Promises …

I love it when Diagnosis Murder begins with a fun scene, like Mark Sloan rolling in on his skates, and then going right into rounds with the medical students. This is episode nine, The Restless Remains. Things get a bit crazy though when Mark has a visit …

In watching this second episode of The Apprentice UK, I realized this was a director’s cut. I don’t know if that’s because it’s ‘on demand’ or if that is how the BBC America channel is airing it, but apparently, these aren’t necessarily as they are seen in Britain.
This …

I am addicted to The Biggest Loser like just about everyone else I know. I think it’s a fine game show. However, I have one criticism. I hate when they lose so big in the first week and later weeks they act so disappointed that they *only* lose like …

Well, last night was the season 1 finale of the show White Collar. Either that, or it was the fall finale, I’m not really sure. Either way, it was pretty decent.
Basically, you have Neil being framed for robbing a jewelry store and, since there is no proof he didn’t …

This episode of Undercover Boss featured the CEO of Herschend Family Entertainnment, a Christian operation that runs theme parks around the country. This whole hour was a feel good hour. It focused on people with amazing stories, and not a bad apple in the bunch.
CEO Joel Manby …

The Doctor and Donna arrive on an alien planet in the 42nd Century. I think this is the first time that the relaunch has ever truly gone off world before. We’ve been to New Earth and to various spacecraft, but never to a bona fide alien world …

I had actually never seen this episode before, so I was intrigued as to how it all played out. The answer is that it played out rather well. As the title suggests, this episode puts the focus on Janine. Also, she gets a genie. Said …

I liked a few things about Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Challenge, starring David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine and Chris Potter as his son, Peter Caine, who is now a police detective. It’s the father and son relationship and the journey that evolves from the first to …

Season 6 of Full House is without a doubt my favorite season. The show finally grew beyond its awkwardness of the previous season, while introducing new characters and focusing on some long forgotten characters like Kimmie Gibbler from next door.
The main reason I loved this season so much …

In this episode we get to see Chuck as a normal person who is not really good at his new SPY job. Although he tries really hard he manages to mess up things. I guess that’s the way most of us would behave if we were in his place. …

In some of these shows you see a common person who purchases items from flea markets that …

The middle of the 1963-1964 season of The Twilight Zone was definitely the best. There’s a group of decent, entertaining shows that are surrounded by many more mediocre and cringed-filled episodes. I’m happy to say that this outing called You Drive was one of the interesting ones. …

This review is for Adam-12’s third season episode of Log 25: Indians. One of the major things that stand out in this episode for me is simply the characteristics of Webb-TV. Webb-TV is what is used to refer to Jack Webb TV shows, primarily Dragnet, Adam-12, and …

I haven’t watched re-runs of the Simpsons in a while and finally had a chance to catch the one that always airs at 6 p.m. on weekdays last night.

Beverly Hills 90210, the original not to be confused with the 2009 edition was something I watched for years and loved. In fact I was such a fan I watched all nine or so seasons until right up til the end.
I must admit my favourite seasons were the …

Well, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Out of my Mind” wasn’t a great one but it did manage to give us some insight into where the series will be heading in the 5th season.
We learn two major things in this episode. First, Riley needs medical attention if …

One of my favourite shows of all times is “Supernatural”. I can honestly say that I can’t think of one bad thing to say about it; and it’s the only television series I know that seems to get better and better with time.
It is about two brothers; Sam …
