I ended up watching a couple more episodes of the show Psych last night before bed; including the one entitled 9 Lives. This one proved to be a decent episode, even though the cat Shawn pretends to talk to doesn’t really have as big of a role in the …

The Simpsons has been around forever and it’s the kind of show everybody knows about.
Those of you that haven’t seen it are missing out. Why? Because it’s funny and it’s current. By current I mean that the writers keep the material fresh and relevant to what …

The soap first started in the early 90’s and was created by Phil Redmond who created another British soap opera that was big in the 80’s- Brookside.
Hollyoaks centres …

I think that this, even more so than the two previous episodes, acts as a proto-typical X-Files episode. It has all the things that X-Files fans love. It’s far more atmospheric than the other two and has a stronger story to tell compared to the other two.
It …

Star Trek: Voyager - “Ashes to Ashes” offers up a unique and fresh science fiction concept that I like: what if there was an alien race out there that reproduces using the bodies of the dead? This episode features such an alien race. They scour the galaxy for members …

This episode picks up where the last left off, with John Smith being forced to comply to an order that makes absolutely no sense to him made by beings that he has no seeming familiarity with. Kudos to Martha for turning the tables the way she did. …

I recently started watching a wonderful show on Starz called Spartacus: Blood and Sand, and I want to share with you my thoughts and views on the show.
First off, the show is really, really amazing. I have been drawn in since the moment I started watching it, and …

After a fairly lengthy hiatus, the show dives back into the overarching alien conspiracy plot line. While the monster of the week episodes are enjoyable, I think that they put too many between myth arc episodes. The story line is already noted for being rather complicated, and …

In the first scene we see a bunch of hippies dancing and hanging around. Detectives Tyler and Carling are there to investigate on the crime scene. A war vet was killed. While they are walking Carling explains to Tyler that the problem with politicized youth is that they do …

John Adams: Peacefield is the seventh and final installment of this HBO mini-series that dealt with the life and times of John Adams, as played by Paul Giamatti. His wife Abigail was portrayed beautifully and painfully by Laura Linney in what I think is her best performance ever. …

From 1974, the animated Star Trek: Bem had the Enterprise hosting a new race, or rather, aboard the Enterprise there was a man considered an honorary observer. His race was new to the Federation. For much of this half-hour show, we really don’t know if this Bem …

The beginning of The Fall Guy: Ready, Aim, Die is very frustrating. Mostly it’s because I just can’t stand Doug Barr’s Howie Munson character. He’s just so dumb and shallow all the time. Everything about what happens in the opening scene drives me nuts.
Now that’s heightened …

I don’t know if I love this episode or just weirded out by it. One way or another, this was a great plot and a good example of great writing. I really loved it because it was so unusual, both the case and the circumstances. And maybe it was …

When I saw the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother on cable the other night, I had to watch it. Gene Wilder in his directorial debut is always something that’s going to attract my attention. However, I found I was very disappointed in the movie.
Wilder made a good effort …

During my Psych mini-marathon before bed last night, I came across an episode I hadn’t seen before; Forget Me Not. This one turned out to be an interesting case for Shawn and Gus.
The two are hired by his dad’s former captain, who believes he has solved a murder. However, …

From 1989, The Hillside Stranglers is almost as frightening as the actual events that this movie is based on. I lived through these events, watching them unfold on television, and it was a scary time. I would have been terrified had I lived in that area where …

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. …

The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses was a very good episode. While Benjamin Bratt owns this show and is hard to ignore, guest star Annabeth Gish stole this episode. She was so strong and effective in her role as the perfect wife and mother, who not so perfectly …

From the fourth season of Sea Hunt came this 18th episode of that year called Cougar. It begins with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) running into a hip kid who he’d helped the year before to straighten up his life. The kid’s name is Cougar Norris …

This review is about a show that is near and dear to my heart. I don’t often get “hooked” on a tv show, much less feel the need to watch the episodes over and over. In fact, more often than not, I turn the channel to a …

My daughter and I ended up sitting down to watch a re-run of The Simpsons last night entitled The Mook, The Chef, The Wife and Her Homer. I have seen bits and pieces of this one before but last night was the first time I finally got to watch …

Written by the minds behind Father Ted and the IT Crowd, this strange sketch show that first debuted in the late 90s might at first be a difficult one to get into.
Essentially, here we have a sketch show with a difference. The main difference being, the punch line …

Perhaps it was me but I didn’t care all that much for Burn Notice this week. It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with the story, it just didn’t catch me right. They are still looking for t he man who tried to blow up Michal at the end …

In Plain Sight is this new show on USA that I wasn’t too sure about when I first heard about it. The show follows a US Marshall by the name of Mary Shannon and her partner. They actually work with those people that have been placed in the witness …

Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1 was an okay show. The show is getting a reputation now for star injuries, and this season two contestants didn’t even make it to the first show. Both Jewel and Nancy O’Dell had to withdraw for injuries.
Jewel was replaced by …

From August 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Wonderful Death of Dudley Stone begins with Bradbury’s explanation that the story was spawned from his pondering over how he might respond if someone asked for his writing or his life. I don’t know if this tale is his answer, …

Well, at least the models in Models of the Runway have something to do this time around besides sit around and wait to be eliminated.
Since the designers in Project Runway are forced to create one additional, last second outfit for their fashion show, they need to find an additional …

Last July I started watching a show called The Strain on FX and I have to say that I am pretty impressed with the show so far. The show is a horror-action-drama series about vampires, based on a book trilogy with the same name. Both the books and the show …

I would prefer to watch So You Think You Can Dance instead of other shows like American Idol or America’s Got Talent because there’s something that stands out to me about that show. I love seeing how many talented people there are out there, and they way that they …

On a new world, Vincent Law awakes to life outside of rondo and is appalled by what he sees. There is life outside of the domes, and now he must escape. This is the deep and philosophical anime Ergo Proxy, episode 4. On the outside world, there is a …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Black Sheep was of interest to me, primarily for guest star Patrick Wayne, who is one of the sons of the great John Wayne. I met Patrick a couple of times at functions, so I get a kick out of seeing him on …

I really enjoy the opening of Laramie: The Stranger , a fourth year episode of this superb western series that stars John Smith as Slim Sherman and, my favorite, Robert Fuller as Jess Harper. The two are partners and co-owners of the Sherman Ranch and Relay Station in …

What I like about Stargate SG-1: Sight Unseen is Jack out and about in Colorado Springs. Okay, it’s Vancouver, but he’s out there in his truck, driving around, getting gas, and shooting at things that aren’t really there. Best part of the show.
Second best part of Stargate …

When I heard the name, without knowing anything else about it, I thought this show was gonna be a bit like “I Am Legend,” full of drama, action, the end of the world, and just one man in a planet full of zombies. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It’s actually the …

When I was younger, one of the shows I used to watch on television was American Gladiators. And, for some time, I�ve been thinking some network should make an effort to bring the show back.
So, I was pleasantly surprised to learn NBC was doing just that.
After watching the first …

Reba Season 2 is one of those seasons where you can tell a show is struggling and trying to figure out where it’s going to go next. I was a big fan of the first season, but the second season was a little different and everyone seemed to grow …

The Office is one of the more hit or miss shows on television in my opinion. It’s not even just from episode to episode. There will be four or five jokes in a single scene and only one or two will be funny, but those jokes can make me …

Robert F. Simon guest stars as Morgan Gibbs in Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trial, a season three entry for this half-hour, black and white western. Gibbs hires Paladin (Richard Boone) to bring his outlaw son in alive. In an interesting twist, Gibbs actually wants his …

Star Trek: That Which Survives is one of the shows that gave me an eerie feeling as a young child. It’s the “I am for you” concept that comes from the lead guest star. A touch kills, and as a youngster, that freaked me out. I …

I watched The Fall Guy regularly when it aired. I loved it, though I held no illusions that it was fantastic. It was never Emmy winning material, but it was highly entertaining, and it had some great guest stars. Lee Majors was one of the producers …

Gary Crosby makes his first guest starring role as Paramedic Tom Wheeler in Emergency!: Publicity Hound from season one. With certain annoying charm, he manages to get the spotlight with the press, even if he wasn’t the primary rescuer involved in whatever was happening. It’s a fun …
