The Biggest Loser
Overall, I like this show. I really love seeing the transformations! Most of these people are really obese when they come on the show. Some of them even over 400 pounds. Then, when the season is over, they have lost over 100 pounds usually, if not …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Let’s Play Poison TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Let’s Play Poison aired in February 1992, and to be honest, I thought it was going to be a lot better than it proved to be. In fact, what began with some potential for real intrigue and storytelling ended up being a huge disappointment …

Columbo: An Exercise in Fatality TV Show
An Exercise in Fatality in one of the Columbo episodes I remember very well. It made a strong impression and I never tire of seeing it. Here are a few of the hits and misses for me about this show from season four.
–Robert Conrad is perfect casting …
Space Balls the Animated Series
The other day, I was looking for movies on Netflix Instant Watch and came across Space Balls the animated series. Since I loved that movie, I figured I would take the time to watch the cartoon.
The cartoon wasn’t very good.
I don’t know what they did in other seasons (if …
The Fugitive: Dark Corner
Tuesday Weld is the main reason for watching this show. The Fugitive: Dark Corner is all about the Weld’s character of Mattie Braydon, a blonde sex-kitten type of gal who is spoiled and conniving. Oddly, she’s blind in this story, which makes her come off as sweet …
Numb3rs season 6 episode 7 Men out
This episode was a masterpiece but the idea of people playing Russian Roulette while other betting on who dies first is not only scary and terrible but disgusting too.

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Wilmer Bass and the Serengeti Kid
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Wilmer Bass and the Serengeti Kid is supposed to be a bit comedic and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
Elisha Cook guest stars and he’s a hoot. He would be a positive reason to watch this episode. He has a wide range …
M*A*S*H: The Consultant
This episode should have been a letter from Hawkeye Pierce to his father, considering that Alan Alda’s real father, Robert Alda, guest stars in this episode. M*A*S*H: The Consultant has Hawkeye and Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) in Tokyo for a seminar, which they have no intention of …
Highway Patrol: Hostage Copter TV Show
From 1957, Highway Patrol: Hostage Copter was the 38th show of the second season of this police drama. This show was one I enjoyed quite a bit and one of the main reasons for that was guest star Barbara Eden, who played Kathy O’Shea. Early on in …
TV Episode for Psych: Mr. Yin Presents
You know what? I really hate episodes that have a season finale and don’t reveal anything at the end. That’s why I ended up being seriously disappointed with the Psych episode Mr. Yin Presents that aired last week.
The plot itself wasn’t bad. It turns out Yang (who Shawn caught …
Due South: Starman
Rino Romano, who had been so much fun in the season one entry of Due South called The Man Who Knew Too Little, returns again as the same character, Ian MacDonald. Apparently, Ian had a happy ending after all, something we weren’t a hundred percent about at the …
Samsung 40″ LCD HDTV LN40C500
This is our first flatscreen HDTV and we absolutely love it right from the day we bought it. Picture and sound quality are amazing. My husband and I were debating between a 40 ” and 42″ and finally settle down with the 40 “ , …
Medical Comedy: Scrubs
Scrubs is a medical comedy that has held my interest from the beginning. It takes on an easy going, humorous, and sometimes plain crazy look into the lives of the doctors of Sacred Heart hospital. There’s Elliot: a woman just trying to fit in and let loose …
Joey Tribbiani
As much as you would like to knock Joey Tribbiani on the head most of the time, you can’t help feeling a bit of love for him. He is the struggling actor in the hit series sitcom Friends, which is not in the making anymore. Such a pity, …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Left-Handed Man TV Show
From 1965, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Left-Handed Man was a second year show, the sixth of the season actually. The series starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison, my favorite, as Captain Crane.
Following are a handful of observations about this show:
–This stands …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 6: The Vampires of Venice
The TARDIS picks up another crew member as the Doctor decides to bring Rory along so that he can spend time with Amy. I imagine it is also to keep Amy from putting the moves on him. More than that, he probably doesn’t want to be the …
The Big Bang Theory
I love this show! This is my new favorite sit com!
I was actually waiting for the new season primarily because I wanted to see this show. And, I was a little worried that it wouldn’t live up to its promos, which seemed really funny. I needn’t have worried. Based …
House: Known Unknowns

CSI Season 5 Episode 2 Down the Drain
I don’t know if I really like this episode or really hated it; there are some interesting points to it, yet it was really hard to watch, which took away from the enjoyment of the show. I realize that in the real life, the crimes and the investigations are …
The Office: Business Ethics
The new HR rep needs to give everyone in the office a ethic’s seminar but Michal Encourages everyone to talk about their unethical behavior. It starts out pretty tame as Oscar admits to taking long lunches, and Dwight accuses him of being a time thief. Then it jumps into …
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 2
I was a little apprehensive about watching Rupaul’s Drag Race. I love drag queen shows and find that the “girls” are quite inventive with their makeup, clothes, and general personalities. But watching this show just reminded me too much of America’s Next Top Model. And no …
Probe: Quit-It
Probe: Quit-It is the last episode of this scientific crime drama, and that was a shame. I really liked the relationship between the two stars, Parker Stevenson as Austin James and Ashley Crow as Michelle Castle. They were young and refreshing, and the way they solved crimes …

The basic premise follows …
The Middle: Christmas
My wife and I got a chance to watch the new TV series called The Middle last night, specifically their episode “Christmas.”
I’m not sure but I believe this is a spin off of the show Malcolm in the Middle, a series I never watched. But, I will admit, this …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Forecloses TV Show
This is another favorite from season one of The Andy Griffith Show. It’s a wonderful half hour of entertainment referred to as Andy Forecloses. There’s humor and drama both, as well as a whole lot of friendly warmth. I absolutely love this half hour of comedy.
One …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Tender Gun TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Tender Gun maybe end up being one of my favorite episodes, and that actually surprises me a little. It’s a fourth season show featuring Jeanette Nolan as Maude Smuggley. Now isn’t that a fun name? It makes me smile, even …
The Virginian: The Awakening TV Show
As I understand it, Roberta Shore, who played Betsy Garth on The Virginian from the beginning, left the series to get married and retired from show business. In this fourth season, her character would be turning 20, so that’s definitely marrying age. I am very glad they …
Legend: Custer’s Next to Last Stand
Custer’s Next to Last Stand is the fourth episode of this Richard Dean Anderson futuristic western from May 1995. As many of the shows do, this one combines some realism with their fiction. As you can tell from the title, it’s George Custer who gets the honor …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Two - The fry cook games
This episode is really funny, as I am a huge Spongebob Squarepants fan. To me, some of the earlier episodes were better than the newer ones because it really brings out the true characters, and I think that Spongebob and Patrick were a lot funnier in some of the …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Jon Voight
So, after watching Shatner’s Raw Nerve for the first time when Leonard Nimoy was on, I kept the show on for another airing, this time with guest Jon Voight. There’s no question Voight is a good actor, but what is at issue is how good of a father …
Crypts, Coffins and Corpses: History’s Mysteries — television show

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Taffeta Mayor
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Taffeta Mayor, a second season entry for this half-hour, black and white western series from the late 50’s, was a decent episode that surprised me in dealing a bit with women’s rights in a serious and dramatic fashion. The show was filmed …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ensign Ro
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ensign Ro is an episode that I enjoy, although it is an episode that I also have some complaints about. For one, I do wish that the writers would have explained either in this episode or a future episode just what happened on …
The Andy Griffith Show Citizen’s Arrest
When it comes to classic TV, one of the best is “The Andy Griffith Show”, or TAGS as frequent internet watchers refer to it. When it comes to best episodes of TAGS, few would argue that “Citizen’s Arrest” is right up there at the top.
This episode has classic …
Family Guy: The Fat Guy Strangler
You know, I could have sworn the show Family Guy has been on the air for a few years now. So, why is it, whenever I watch a re-run at 6:30 or 10:30 it is usually one of only about a dozen episodes?
Last night was one I have seen …
Torchwood: Greeks Bearing Gifts

In The Virginian: The Man from the Sea, Shirley Knight and Carol Lynley play twin sisters, Susan and Judith Morrow, respectively, who are visiting with Judge Henry Garth. Knight and Lynley aren’t related, but they way they were made up, they really did look like twins. Bravo …
The Virginian: Silver Image TV Show
The second episode of The Virginian’s seventh season on the air from September 1968 was called Silver Image, and it was far better than I thought it was going to be. The show surrounded a widow of a rancher in Medicine Bow who was in the middle of …
Bones: The Woman at the Airport
While waiting to watch the new GI Joe movie last night, I ended up flipping through channels and watching re-runs of popular television shows, including the show Bones. I came across an episode I have seen before but not in its entirety. It turned out to be an interesting …
The Candlemaker cartoon
The Candlemaker, a cartoon from the golden era from Halas and Batchelor, actually began in a way that really drew my attention. It talked about how things used to be before modern inventions and such. I loved that opening quite a bit. I suppose it seems …
Stargate Atlantis: Remnants
Stargate Atlantis: Remnants continues the exploits of the Atlantis team in the Pegasus Galaxy. In this 15th show of the farewell season, the opening scenes have my head spinning. There’s just way too much going on, all presented in very short segments. More time needed to …
The Choir: Unsung Town: Ep 3 TV Show
In the third outing of The Choir: Unsung Town, choir master Gareth Malone challenges the South Oxhey Community Choir to sing more complex pieces. I don’t know the name of the one they ended up doing, but it’s a dramatic piece that I recognize more from being in …
