The BAU team is still undergoing transition from the loss of JJ. One of the big moments in this process occurs when Vangsness’ …

The second season of The Fugitive began with a show entitled Man in a Chariot. It’s a powerful show that guest starred Ed Begley as a law professor with a huge chip on his shoulder, stemming from an accident that has left him in a wheelchair. Begley …

Unlike many Americans, I’m not obsessed with television. At least not to the point where I will plan my life around it; with the exception of Green Bay Packers games.
This week, I discovered a mini-series that actually has me clearing my schedule.
When I saw the previews for the Sci …

CSI: New York: Out of the Sky was just a so so outing in my opinion. I wasn’t particularly captivated by the hour or even intrigued. What was disappointing is that the opening teaser had some promise, but then once it was done, it just droned on …

I enjoyed the early portion of A Taste for Death - Part 5. I liked the opening, out on the lake, in the rowboat. Some of the outdoor scenes in this taped production are the best. This mystery continues with Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) still …

Fireball XL5: Ghosts of Space is a story about greed, or maybe about what happens when left all alone and you go a little space crazy. Basically, Colonel Steve Zodiac and his XL5 crew take an explorer to the Ececton, a planet full of electric rocks. Now …

I got a chance to watch the new Monk episode Friday night “Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse.” It was somewhat interesting and pretty entertaining.
The case itself was a little too easy to solve. You have a bunch of people dying by mysterious means and each of them has …

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: House of Hoarders took a look at something that is getting a lot of attention in today’s world, and that is the topic of hoarders. Hoarders are essentially those who cannot throw anything away. As much as some of us consider ourselves to …

What makes Have Gun - Will Travel: The Ballad of Oscar Wilde from the second season of this western series starring Richard Boone so fun is a combination of the guest cast and the repertoire of Paladin and novelist Oscar Wilde.
Englishman Wilde is making his first visit to California …

I watched this series a year or two ago. I bought the DVD a few days ago as it was on offer. This is the kind of show, which I feel, no matter how many times you watch it, it’ll still tickle your funny bone.
The story is a …

The Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods - final cut has three things going for it, and just three things.
First, since this final cut has yet to be aired on television, unless you’ve ripped it off some illegal torrent somewhere, buying the DVD has been the only way of …

M*A*S*H: Guerilla My Dreams is a pretty intense episode which is also somewhat controversial in how it is played out. Alan Alda, who stars as Hawkeye Pierce, directed this intense episode. The show does include another cameo from Gary Burghoff as Radar O’Reilly. Burghoff has special …

I’ve always liked M*A*S*H: The Army-Navy Game, even though I’m not a football fan at all. While the military is focused on the annual football game between the Army and Navy, the 4077th is focused on something else completely — an unexploded bomb that is in the middle …

Duct Tape Hour 2 aka: a Buster’s Cut episode of Mythbusters was terrific to watch. I still love the first hour, which came from curiosity of which MacGyver tricks might actually have worked, was a load of fun. They built a boat and lifted up a car …

In The Punisher, Season 1, Jon Bernthal reprises his role from the show Daredevil as Frank Castle, a man who lost his family that now is on a revenge path looking for the men responsible, which also uncovers a bit of a conspiracy that was hidden for a long time …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 10 has Togusa trying to help a woman who is in a domestic dispute as he can’t stop the man who killed her, he is taken to trial.
I liked this anime a lot, and it’s one of my favorites, …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Genesis” is the closest this show ever got to telling a Halloween-like story. There are several scenes that are designed to “shock” the viewer or send waves of trepidation at the viewer. One such scene occurs after the crew begins to “de-evolve” after …

That Girl: I’ll Be Suing You is typical That Girl comedy. Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) has borrowed her boyfriend’s brand new car, a lovely red convertible, to take a rubber tree plant to her parents, who live about 30 minutes outside of the city in Brewster, New York. …

The Amazing Race is a cool show. There are so many things I like about this one. Basically the premise is a bunch of couples embark on a race around the world for a million dollars. They have challenges in every country and the couple that …

On Thursday August 31, MTV aired live their annual Music Video awards.
The award show returned to whee they first began in New York. With big celebrities, great music stars, and Jack Black as the host, the show would be the best of its kind, right? Well I didnt think …

Spicks and Specks is an Australian musical quiz show which is aired on TV every Wednesday at 8:30pm on ABC. It works that there is the host, and two team leaders. They each have two different guests each week which answers some quizzes related to music.
There are many rounds, …

Sea Hunt: Proof of Guilt is one of the latter episode’s of the underwater adventure series’ second season on television. I actually thought it was pretty intriguing as well. The basic idea behind the half hour show is that diving expert Mike Nelson, as played by Lloyd …

I like to watch certain cartoon shows and The Batman is one of many on my lineup. This week I saw an episode of The Batman by the title of “Team Penguin.” This episode starts off with Penguin (who is a villain) watching a movie and being inspired to …

Alias Smith and Jones: Return to Devil’s Hole continues the pattern in this first season of separating the two stars of this comical western series. They are together only at the beginning and at the end. As I’ve said before, that’s not a pattern I enjoy or …

I almost turned this episode off half-way through. I was just sick with the thought of Brian selling himself out like he did in this episode. He has always been so strong, so passionate about his views, and his integrity. Suddenly, he’s …

As I mentioned in another review, I was watching re-runs of the show Futurama last night since there really wasn’t much else on TV at the time. One of the episodes, entitled Anthology of Interest I, was an episode I had not seen before. However, it quickly became one …

The talent reality show Americas Got Talent does grow on a person when you see all the crazy acts, however when they have acts such as Leonid a guy who keeps coming back year after year make it to the semi finals its absurd. The show is supposed …

Oh how I am so glad that I have found this series. I do understand that it is over a decade old. But “The Hunger” is one of those cable TV series that you either love or hate. Clearly, the fact that it began in the …

By a fluke, I decided to watch a new drama called The Forgotten. The show stars Christian Slater, who isn’t a performer I’m particularly fond of. There’s no specific reason for that, other than he’s never appealed to me. In this show, he plays Alex Donovan, …

In Diagnosis Murder: Death in the Daytime, Amanda Bentley (Victoria Rowell) wins a walk-on appearance on the soap opera, The Young and the Restless. Naturally, everyone is happy for her and they all want to go with her. Someone does die, along with members of the Y …

For me, the real star of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Steel Horses is Comet the wonder horse. I adore Comet in this show. There are some really good scenes with him in this episode.
The show deals with Brisco getting a look at the coming thing, …

Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 5 begins with Ed and Al hurrying to board a train for Central to take the State Alchemy Exam. While onboard a terrorist organization hijacks the train and their leader Bald demands that Central trade a prisoner for all the passengers on the train.
This episode was …

My daughter was watching some Christmas specials on TV last night and came across one that wasn’t too bad; though not overly impressive, Casper’s Haunted Christmas.
This animated film featured Casper the friendly ghost (with a much deeper voice than I remember him having) and his friends at a local …

I have gotten re-hooked on the show A-Team recently and, growing tired of waiting for re-runs to air on TV, I ended up loading the first season of the show on my Netflix player.
One of the episodes I watched yesterday was really the third episode of the series (after …

The season three premier episode of The Andy Griffith Show is a classic show called Mr. McBeevee. This particular program is definitely in my top 10 of the best of this comedy series. There’s humor in abundance and warmth that makes your heart both ache and smile.
The …

The E! television production The Soup, starring Joel McHale, is an incredibly fun and hilarious half hour of television. It is essentially a venue for McHale and his team of interns (the staff of this show is impressively small) to take a look at the past week in …

This episode was ok to watch. It delves yet again into the history in the Gilligan’s Island world with the arrival of a lost Japanese sailor. So we get a glimpse of yet again more history which in turn broadens our view a little more. I was not impressed …

When a prisoner turns up dead in an elevator, Ziva has to prove that she did not kill him. To make matters worse, the dead man’s brother insists that he be returned to him, along with the heroin they obtained, or Jenny Shepherd will be killed.
Gibbs puts Gibbs …

That Girl: The Russians Are Staying from the fifth season of this pure comedy series is the last one of the series that leaves me a little vacant. I found the plot about a Russian comedian named Nicholai (Bob Dishy) to be too stereotypical and it simply wasn’t …

Im quite a fan of Paddie McGuiness, he is a funny man and that’s what made me give the show that he presents, Take Me Out a chance. It’s essentially a modern day version of Blind Date, only this time there is no blind aspect and a lot more …

This show seems a little early, in that it would feel more appropriate as a fourth or fifth season show, but that said, it’s still a good episode. MacGyver: Friends is actually a clips show. Producing an action series like MacGyver is costly. All those explosions …

I would rate Veronica Mars one of my favorite television series of all times. Sadly this show only made it four seasons. I watched it at the time it aired on tv but then did not watch it again for a few years. It has now …

This 1962 outing of The Andy Griffith Show is far from a favorite of mine. In fact, I really don’t like it much at all. There are a few reasons for that, one of which is that I really don’t like outings where Howard McNear takes the …

From season three of That Girl, we get The Homewrecker and the Window Washer. It’s the first episode that aired in 1969, and it was okay. It’s not a huge favorite of mine personally. However, the color of the show comes from Jules Munshin, who is …

Underwater Park was an episode presented towards the end of Sea Hunt’s second season in 1959.
I really enjoyed the opening segment of Underwater Park because of the underwater footage. We have our show hero, Mike Nelson, ace deep sea diver, taking pictures as he comes in, through, and …

This was a cool episode as we to to see James lose it. The Heroes are on a road to self destruction if you ask me, there seems to be no unity on their team and people are back-biting and sorting out alliances far too early in the …

Oh my goodness! I love Dick Van Dyke, and there’s certainly a lot of Van Dyke to love in this episode of Diagnosis Murder. Episode four of the series, Ineritance of Death, has Van Dyke not only playing his regular character of Dr. Mark Sloan, but also …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Tax Gatherer, a fourth year episode of this black and white western television series, had a lot of potential, but ultimately failed. The problem is that it’s party comedy and part drama, and it would have been better if it’ had stuck …
