I recently introduced my daughter to the 1970s cartoon show Fat Albert and she has been watching episodes of it (on DVD) every day since.
I haven’t seen the show in ages and finally got a chance to sit down with her yesterday to watch a couple episodes. One of …

Crypts, Coffins and Corpses is an episode of Histories Mysteries, a television series on the History Channel. This is a fun show that talks about things that happened in history, such as facts and stories that are not known about such subjects as battles, famous people, and other …

This episode presents us a rare case where the so called “Monster of the Week” isn’t really a monster at all. On the contrary, the supernatural element seen here is an ability to heal, supposedly a gift from God himself.
As you can tell from the synopsis, …

This episode is set up very much like “Ice” and “Darkness Falls”. Normally, this would be a good thing. Those were both very good episodes, and I even said that those were prime examples of how to do a one and done monster of the week episode. …

Well, another Ghost Hunters episode and another feeling like I wasted an hour of my life.
The Playhouse and the Firehouse seemed to have potential. But, once again, we have two investigations that turn up absolutely nothing.

Fame: Metamorphosis is the premier of the musical dancing television series which was based on a hit movie. I recall at the time being a little put off by star Debbie Allen’s comments on The Tonight Show that they’d found an even better Coco Hernandez than Irene Cara …

M*A*S*H: Life with Father is one of those shows that makes me stop and shake my head. During the entire half hour show, Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) is all upset because of a letter from his wife. Actually, at first he’s happy about it because she tells …

On tonight’s show, the remaining celebrities all had to do two different dances, which is always a huge challenge for them.

OK, last night’s SVU episode, Spooked, was one of the most predictable episodes I’ve seen.
First, you have the rape/murder of two people in an alley that turns out to be drug related because the woman was smuggling drugs in her breast implants (ouch, but I guess that is a …

The concept behind The Fall Guy: Colt’s Angels is that Colt Seavers (Lee Majors), his cousin Howie (Doug Barr), and co-worker Jody (Heather Thomas) pretend to be bikers in an attempt to capture the gang’s leader. They look pretty funny in that get up that they wear. …

From the near perfect to ridiculousness, this is the path season nine of Stargate SG-1 has taken. In Stargate SG-1: Stronghold, there is one plot that is so unbelievable that it stunned me.
Mitchell has a friend who is dying. This guy was his competition, so it goes, …

Much like “Love and Monsters”, this is an episode where the Doctor only plays a peripheral role. Unlike the aforementioned episode, this is one of the more highly regarded in the series. I had high hopes for this episode as it is often cited as one of …

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a very funny and crazy show. This is a show you either will really love or you will really hate. I think the show is very funny. But some people tell me that they think it’s the worst those they have ever seen in their …

From season two, The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and the Choir is a hoot. It has story problems in terms of continuity, but you just can’t beat this for entertainment.
This is a theme that was repeated multiple times over the course of this series while Don Knotts was …

I first saw this episode of the popular 1990s television series “The X-Files” one night on the cable television channel Sci-Fi. At first I didn’t get to watch all of it since I had only gotten to see the last part of it, however I thought it looked interesting …

MacGyver: The Human Factor is one of my favorite episodes of the dramatic series, which stars Richard Dean Anderson as the inventive and creative agent. This is the first episode of the second season and added to the regular cast is Dana Elcar as Pete Thornton. Pete …

The Apprentice: Snack Attack begins with Tayna’s meeting with Russell Simmons, which was her reward for being the winning project manager. She’s surprised and emotional when Simmons hands her a special surprise, too. Then, though, it’s time for the new task for this fourth episode.
The challenge is …

Always Sunny is probably one of the best shows I have ever seen and if you love comedy then you should look into season 1 on DVD because it is just $40 and it comes along with season 2 in the set. This may sound like a great deal …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Singer was an episode of this thirty-minute black and white western that I really enjoyed. Since the last few were ‘misses’ in my book, I enjoyed seeing this ‘hit’. It began with a brief moment of levity, one that occurred when …

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. …

The fifth show of season three, Highway Patrol: Mistaken Identity which stars Broderick Crawford, was a watchable entry that pretty much held my interest. Sometimes I almost was distracted, but the story kept me enticed for the most part, even though there were holes here and there in …

I absolutely love cooking shows. I watched this one because the chef (whose name escapes me) was making peppered pork, a special kind of garlic mashed potatoes, and a puttanesca. I watched this woman chop parsley, onions, and make a dressing for a new kind of …

John Doe: Low Art is fairly entertaining on the whole to watch. The story temporarily puts aside the issue of who John Doe really is and instead focuses on his new friends and John’s ability to interact without acting like a machine.
The catalyst for the mystery element of …

The Virginian: Dangerous Road was interesting to me mostly because the main guest star was Robert Pine. Pine became a household name to me when the TV series, CHiPs aired on television. The funny thing is that I didn’t even recognize him. I’d never seen him …

America’s Next Top Model: Matthew Rolston proved to be an interesting episode for this reality series focusing on high fashion. Below are some moments and events that stood out to me as I watched the hour long series progress.
–Kacey suggests having a barbecue and inviting the male models …

Outside of the upcoming Blood Brothers episode which I consider to be tops all the way around, M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye is the best of the ninth season. It’s a show that starts out in an unsuspecting style with Hawkeye Pierce waking up in the middle of the …

The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 2 was good, but not as good as the opening hour that aired the prior week in January 1982. This picks up the story that has Colt and Howie in the middle of secret spy type stuff in Hawaii. They’ve …

Sea Hunt’s 27th episode of its third season was called Underwater Beacon, so named mostly from a piece of equipment deep sea diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) was checking out for the United States Coast Guard.
Though not my favorite stories as a rule, I do like to see the …

I thought that this episode of Law and Order Special Victims Unit was not only interesting but educational to me in the sense that it was this episode which informed me of the theory which some people have that sometimes people who are sexually abused eventually begin to sexually …

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 …

This episode of House is about lying, but the thing about the thoughts brought up on house is that they don’t always give you a firm answer. Medical diagnosis is a yes or no proposition, being happy isn’t. Is House unhappy because of his leg, because he lost his …

Star Trek: The Menagerie: Part II concludes this action. The Menagerie incorporates much of The Cage, the original pilot for this science fiction series. It was a great idea, and it fueled the desire for The Cage to be released as a show of its own. …

Well, since I was up anyway after watching Project Runway, I did take the time to watch Models of the Runway again (though I do think the show is getting a bit on the boring side now).
For the most part, it was pretty much the same old stuff. A …

The biggest part of Black Gold’s 4th episode from season three was on new driller Ben’s first day on the job. The question was rather or not he could control the unruly bunch of crew and get them to do their jobs.
What is funny about that to me …

Overall, I rather liked Highway Patrol: : Prospector. In this half hour police drama, a prospector thinks he has struck it rich when he ends up with a lot of money, only he didn’t come upon it properly. No, he didn’t steal it, but he finds it …

The highlight of A Man Called Hawk: Beautiful Are the Stars is Karen Malina White, who guest stars as a young woman named Lisa. White barely looks 18, let alone the 21 she is playing here. However, she has a lot of spirit by her presence, and …

I haven’t seen the series Futurama in a while but have recently had an opportunity to watch several episodes on our Netflix Instant Watch. One of the episodes I got to see was one I actually remember watching before; I, Roommate.
Even though I had seen it before, the episode …

I used to watch this show regularly in my teens. Earlier it was called WWF. It was one of the most entertaining sports that I have ever seen. Earlier I used to think that those fights are real. Only later I realized that they are professionally trained athletes …

Another season seven story of Wagon Train was The Andrew Elliott Story, starring Dick Sargent of Bewitched fame as the title character. Interestingly, he’s only seen in flashbacks.
