Highway Patrol: Oil Lease TV Show
From its second season in December 1956, Highway Patrol: Oil Lease centers around a couple of thieves who steal thousands of dollars with the assistance of a stolen bazooka weapon. Now that’s a twist, especially for when this show was produced.
The thirty minute program was mostly action as …
M*A*S*H: Sons and Bowlers
M*A*S*H: Sons and Bowlers from the tenth season has both good comedy and good drama within its thirty minutes. The humorous part deals with Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Potter) sulking after the 4077th lost a softball game to the Marines. He just never wins against the Marine …

Jeopardy: Game Show
Jeopardy is my favorite current game show. I like the challenge, because I find shows like Wheel of Fortune too easy. I also like that it asks trivia and knowledge questions. This makes me feel smart when I know the answer. I also like learning …
The X-Files Fire Episode
The first thought which came to my mind when I watched this episode of “The X-Files” was “Weird “. I thought it was a lot stranger for some reason than many of the episodes of the popular 1990s American television series which I had watched as this episode involved …

My Family Comedy Series
This is by far the best comedy series ever, in my opinion, and from the first episode I saw of it, I just could not get enough.

Due South: Vault
I have to say that I was disappointed that we didn’t get more of the boys in Canada. Apparently, it was just for the first episode. I really wish we’d been able to see the cabin being rebuilt. It’s a shame that we’re back in Chicago so …
The Twilight Zone: Miniature TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Miniature is what I would call a quiet little story, in part because it’s somewhat fairytale-ish. Robert Duvall plays the role of Charley Parkes, a rather mild man, perhaps timid, reserved, and not getting much out of life. He’s lost in the middle of …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 19 (Anime)

CSI New York Season 4 Episode 12- Happily Never After
I thought this episode was really smart. I didn’t like all of it, but the scientific parts of it were really interesting. The second case was really good.
In the first case Fiona Chislom, a hotel-owner, hater by everyone to the extend that when her body is found, the people …
That 70s Show: Parents Find Out
Sometimes the best episodes on a comedy show are those about a subject that really isn’t wrong but has embarassing implications. The That 70s Show episode “Parents Find Out” is one of those episodes.
This episode happens a short time after Eric and Donna start having sex and, while in …
Justice League Unlimited: Wake the Dead
This episode feels like a sequel to an episode I haven’t seen. In this episode, Solomon Grundy is brought back from the dead. Since he is a zombie I’m not entirely certain how that works, but it doesn’t matter because he’s not really very important to the episode.
Just like …
RCA ANT751 Outdoor Digital TV Antenna

Adam 12 - Log 71
This particular episode of Adam-12 isn’t that high up on my list, though it does have some memorable moments.

Every Monday through Friday night at 9pm and Saturday’s at 7pm on the CW I get the chance to watch Married with Children. It used to come on at 10:30 and 11 pm at night which meant that if I had a long day I was likely to fall …

FOX TV Series: Lie to Me

Sense8 (TV series by Wachowskis)
Sense8 is an American Sci-Fi drama TV series with the ambition to do for TV what Matrix did for action films. Sense8 was written and produced by the Wachowskis, so if anyone could get away with such a claim it would be the creators of The Matrix themselves. I don’t …
