I wasn’t in the mood for Family Guy last night so I ended up flipping through the channels and settling for a Seinfeld re-run instead. Fortunately for me, it happened to be one of my favorites; The Mango.
The set up on this episode was fantastic. Jerry and George are …

HBO is not like it used to be. They used to have new movies on all the time. They still have a lot to choose from, a wide variety of movies. Though a lot of the movies aren’t that new. I haven’t had movie channels in a long time …

The show ‘Prison Wives’ is a new show about women who have married men who, for the most part, will be spending the rest of their lives in prison. What is wrong with this picture? I can understand if your man will get out and you’ll be able to …

Due South: Say Amen is a story that has been done before, in western genres and all other types of dramas. That said, it’s still fairly well done and is entertaining.
The one thing that really makes no sense, though, concerns the character of Inspector Meg Thatcher. We …

Channel V is a station shown on Pay Television. They play the latest music all day and all night. There are all sorts of different countdowns to the show. The only bad thing I would complain probably has to play the same songs over and over again during the …

One of the most interesting new television shows that I’ve discovered recently is one called Brain Games that comes from time to time on the cable television channel National Geographic. I think that the reason why I like it so much and the reason it stands out is because …

This is the show that just has never made sense to me. It’s the third season of The Andy Griffith Show, and we’ve already had four or so episodes that deal with Sheriff Andy Taylor’s relationship with Nurse Peggy McMillan. During this time, little Opie Taylor (Ron …

Highway Patrol: Fisherman’s Luck didn’t feel very lucky to me. It was just one of those half hour offerings when I wasn’t lured into the story or captivated by what was happening within the ranks of this fictionalized California Highway Patrol department.
Perhaps the reason for my lack of …

It’s been so long since there’s been a new episode of the show Monk on, I almost forgot about it tonight and nearly missed it. But, while not as good as older episodes of Monk, I will say Mr. Monk and the Other Brother turned out to be worth …

Cougar Town is a new show on ABC. When I first heard about this show I was iffy about it, even though the main character is Courtney Cox. I thought it was an interesting concept, different, but I didn’t tune in until a friend pointed out how great it …

Synopsis: Bones receives unwanted help from a Canadian foot expert after a bunch of severed feet wind up on the United States/Canadian border and she needs to figure out who they belonged to and how they got there. The episode first aired April 7, 2011.
What I liked about this …

And so the first season comes to a close. This is an episode I had never seen, so I was especially looking forward to it and it didn’t disappoint. While there had certainly been a few UFO/Alien centered episodes (a surprising few looking back on the season …

In this episode, the Simpson family go to the renaissance fair where Homer embarrasses Lisa and she wanders off and comes across a fortune teller’s booth. Lisa is sceptical at first until the fortune teller tells the names of her family members, convinced, Lisa is then told her future …

One of the interesting things about the old Mork & Mindy series is how it managed to look at normal everyday life and turn it into satire. The episode “Mork’s Greatest Hit” is a great example of this.
In our culture, we admire those who will use violence if it …

Sometimes lost in the science fiction element of the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the ocassional message about being safe in an awkward situation. The episode Reptile Boy is one of them.
Along with the whole cult that worships snake man thing at the local university frat house, you …

I think that Doogie Howser M.D. is one of the coolest old TV shows I saw growing up as a kid. This show was alway really funny. I think it was really cool how Doogie Howser was so smart even though he was so young. I mean he used …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Human Computer was the 23rd show of the program which starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and my favorite of the show, David Hedison as Captain Lee Crane. The main guest star is Simon Scott, who plays Mister Reston. …

Ice Road Truckers: Deadly Melt is the second to the last show for the reason, and it was pretty tame going. They did some interesting camera work that focused more on the landscape than the trucks as they cleared the snow and ice from beneath a bridge so …

“Sally and the Lab Technician” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. It’s the first episode of the series that briefly contains a scene that’s considered “serious”. Rose Marie as Sally Rodgers is given her first real chance to step out of the background and be the …

Hawaii Five-O: Not That Much Different focuses on student protestors who confront a foreign official. The man decides to address the protestors and when shots ring out, one of the protestors is killed. At first, the assumption is that the shot was meant for the foreign representative, …

Billy Blackburn’s Treasure Chest Rare Home Movies and Special Memories Part 2 was released as part of the second season DVD release. It continued a feature begun on the first season set that looked at the home movies Billy Blackburn took. While Blackburn’s name may not be …

Smallville: Salvation was the 2010 season finale. This show received a surprising renewal which led to this finale and to what will take place next season. As a fan of Michael Shanks, I’m ecstatic. The Justice League which was brought back into play in an earlier …

Fireball XL5: Convict in Space takes us back to the Space Pen that we met previously. I get a kick out of this version of prison. It’s such a huge exaggeration of what mobsters in jail would be like. There’s no reality here, but there are some …

Two years ago, when Metro TV broadcasted “Oprah Winfrie Show” for the first time, I didn`t have any idea why people like this program so much. Then, I tried to prove it by sitting nicely in front …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Sun and Shadow from October 1992 was a show that I had some problems with, not in terms of the production but in the main character and what his supposedly heroic deeds were. Heroic may not be the right word. Perhaps it’s more …

I am a big fan of Tudor history, I love the recent historical fiction that has come out and I was really pleased to see that Showtime had made a show about the the Tudors - appropriately named “The Tudors”.
First of all those of you that are history buffs …

From May 1961, The Andy Griffith Show: Quiet Sam shows once again what paranoia can do to people, especially a superstitious and easily spirited Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts). In this show, he is focused on a farmer named Sam Becker who seems reclusive and isn’t very socialable. …

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 …

“Protect the Melody of Love: Usagi Plays Cupid” is the sixth episode of the Sailor Moon series. The story tells of a musician named Yusuke Amade, who is deeply in love with Akiko, but has yet to openly reveal his feelings for her and she is so wrapped in …

The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee’s Medicine Man, from March 1963, begins with a funny bit in which no lines are spoken. It’s all Don Knotts as Barney Fife trying to spruce himself up to look like Rock Hudson. His guide is a large magazine photo of …

The focus of Whoopi: Is Rita Pregnant? from February 2004 was on Courtney’s girlfriend, Rita (Elizabeth Regen), and the possibility that she might be pregnant, something that makes Courtney’s sister cringe. She’s not really fond of Rita, at least not while her brother is unemployed and living with …

The Black Bull is a name that tells me that I’m probably not going to like this episode; that is, if there’s a bull in it and some bullfighting story. As I began to watch, I just hoped it was metaphorical. The western show stars Richard Boone …

OK, I officially can’t wait until we finish the fourth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This season has been absolutely terrible and the episode “Primeval” didn’t exactly help matters.
This episode has the final battle with Adam. Early on, we learn he wants to create more human/demon cyborgs. That …

Cowboy Bebop Episode 19 has Spike getting his fighter repaired on Earth while Faye and Jet take on space pirates.
This episode was pretty interesting and fun, the situation was interesting because this is the first time Faye and Jet and even Edward were useless in a fight while bounty …

While I normally like Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes, the episode entitled “Choices” was a bit weak compared to other season 3 episodes.
This one had some drama. You have Buffy wanting to go on to college and leave Sunnydale but, at the same time, knows she really doesn’t have …

The TV Show Charmed is now on DVD. I have a tendency to do everything backwards. To learn thing backwards. And I actually started with Season 8 of Charmed. I had watched a few episodes off and on through-out the run of Charmed on the WB. But never …

Peter Griffin is the best! And I say this unequivocally…and this is proven in the episode Padre de la Familia, where Peter becomes a part of a pro-American campaign….trying especially to rid the US workforce of non-Americans….He proceeds to visit his mother to obtain a copy of his birth …

Framed Cop aired in Highway Patrol’s fourth season on television and was in fact the 21st episode. I actually enjoyed this February 1959 outing that showed us another side of the criminal system and how it can impact the police department.
In the course of getting revenge, Sergeant Ken …

Beast Wars - Code of Hero is, quite easily, my favorite episode of the series and one of my favorite episodes of any show period. This episode is amazingly powerful and sends a powerful message to, admittedly a relatively young audience, although the show can really be appreciated and …

CSI New York Season 2 Episode 12- Wasted
Absolutely loved this episode. Especially the first case. I wonder how the writers manage to think of all these cases. And I wonder how they do the research on all of these themes.
In the first case, the CSI team investigates the …

The fact that it’s the fifth season really shows for The Twilight Zone. There are several shows in a row that I just don’t like, and The Last Night of a Jockey from October 1963 is another one of them. The stories had some good actors, but …

Tonight was the first time I saw the House episode “Informed Consent” and, while I have no idea in which season this one took place in, it reminded me of how great this show used to be before they started tampering with the cast and throwing in little side …

OK, the Ghost Hunters episode “The Red Room” turned out to be a big disappointment. I don’t mind watching the show and seeing them debunk various ghosts but it is pretty sad when they don’t even have anything they can debunk.
This one involved them making a trip to Louisiana …

The Sunken episode of this supposed documentary called Chasing Mummies continues some of the action from the week before with Zahi Hawass investigating a possible burial site of Cleopatra while Leslie and the producer are having a hard time getting where they need to go.
The main goal of the …

It took me a while to realise how funny Catherine Tate is and how good her sketch show is. I only started watching it when the UK nation was already quoting her ‘Lauren’ character and saying “I ain’t bovvered” at every opportunity. I have grown to really …

Ok. So I know this show is a classic or something and I sort of remember watching it when it was originally aired. But I don’t understand how everyone thinks Will Smith was the best character of the show. I really don’t think he carried the show. He was …

Now with a thunderous cry from the heavens and convoys of angels rushing overhead, we now have finally reached the end of the epic and long saga solely known as Eureka Seven. With an overcast sky, we are forced to accept the truth despite what we would like or …
