Highway Patrol: Stripped Cars TV Show
From Highway Patrol’s second season in 1957, Stripped Cars gave viewers a bit of something new, and that came by the unique crime scenario.
The action in this story surrounds George Bennett, the driver of a car carrier when he’s attacked and killed. Bennett was just in the way, …
The Inbetweeners - Series 3 - Episode 5
Nearing the end of the final series of The Inbetweeners now and the fourth episode, was pretty good, though not as good as some of the others.
I found it a fast moving episode, rather than one that was full of really comical moments.
Wills mum has gone away with an …

I really want to know how many of you guys out there watch ‘Prithviraj Chauhan’? Well, I do. It is in fact, the only tv show which I have watched without missing out a single episode. How’s that for a record, huh? The story has been written skillfuly with …

Outnumbered British Television Situation Comedy Show
Outnumbered is one of the best comedies currently showing on British TV. It is always amusing and, rather than giving me belly laughs, I watch which fascination to see what the kids are going to come out with next. Outnumbered is a sit com featuring the middle …
The Virginian: A Bride for Lars TV show
The Virginian: A Bride for Lars had a lot of good things going for this western outing, but it as fun as some moments were, there was a lot of just plain stupid, mainly in how the character of Trampas (Doug McClure) acted.
The basic setup for the 90 minutes …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device TV Show
From July 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device is actually a pretty interesting story, though there are elements that I’m not as fond of. What happens is that two men, disheveled and obviously down on their luck, are traveling along a desert highway …
MASH:Hawkeye
I normally like old MASH re-runs but there is one I absolutely cannot stand; the one entitled “Hawkeye.”
If you’ve ever watched the show, there’s a good chance you’ve seen this episode. Hawkeye is driving back to the 4077th in a jeep and ends up getting in a wreck and …
The Twilight Zone: An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge TV Show
After years upon years of watching The Twilight Zone, there are maybe two or three that don’t immediately pop out at me where I don’t instantly know the story when it comes on TV. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge from season five is one of those. …
That Girl: To Each Her Own
In That Girl: To Each Her Own, the theme is all about computer dating, something that was fairly new at the time. Even though this has been around for decades now, the interest in how it works and the role it has on our society is still relevant, …

South Park: The “F” word
This episode was definitely interesting. A bunch of bikers invade the town and make it impossible for anyone to enjoy what they’re doing. At first it seemed like it was going to get repetitive and old, with the bikers trying to make more and more noise in …
Naked News TV
The whole concept behind Naked News TV is simple…anchors read the news segment either naked or while stripping down to their bare nothing. This original program hails from Canada and features the following ladies as of May 2008 as the achors for the show:
Katherine Curtis, newly introduced since 2008
Christine …
The Virginian: The Devil’s Children
When I first watched The Virginian: The Devil’s Children, I kept thinking this wicked stepchild, aka: the villainous of the piece, looked darn familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out. Then I looked up the credits and realized it was Joan Freeman, guest starring as a bratty girl …
House TV Episode: Two Stories
Synopsis: House participates in a school’s career day and winds up sent to the principal’s office.
What I liked about this episode: The flashbacks were a bit hard to follow at times but I think they did improve what would have otherwise been a very boring episode. After all, without …

Dead Like Me: A Cook
I just hate stories that have animals in them because I worry about what will happen to the animal. It’s all fiction, I realize, but in the ‘it’s just TV’ world, I can deal with anything that happens to a human being because it’s by choice, but I …
Kara no Kyoukai anime
Hello,
What attracted me to this anime was the music. Composer Yuki Kajiura together with Kalafina’s vocals, the combination is pretty much magic. Upon hearing this, you can feel the supernatural theme that acts as an extension of the anime, thus giving people a hint of what the anime …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment takes a bit of a tragic turn for my favorite, Lt. Simon Adams (Richard Dean Anderson). There’s some fun moments early on, but then something happens that disturbs him greatly, so much so that he is given a ten-day leave.
Back …

Civil Wars: Daveja-Vu All Over Again TV Show
Civil Wars was one of my favorite TV shows when it aired. I was highly disappointed when it was canceled so quickly. The show starred Mariel Hemingway, Peter Onorati (who was clearly etched on my brain for Cop Rock, which I adored), Debi Mazar, and Alan Rosenberg, …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Brooklyn Dodgers
While the name this episode of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. might lead one to think there’s baseball in the mix, there isn’t. Brooklyn Dodgers is named for two teenagers who are on their own, fending for themselves, after a tragic accident years earlier that caused the …
Poltergeist
Years ago, I got to watch Poltergeist when it first came out. It scared the crap out of me.
Now that I’m older, I finally got a chance to watch it again. And, while it didn’t terrify me like it did when I was younger, it still managed to be …

48 Hours: Live to Tell
The hit CBS television show 48 Hours has a new spin, and I’ll say up front that I like it. One of the things I’ve disliked about old episodes of 48 Hours is the drama brought about by the story teller, or reporter. It was like propaganda, …
Family Matters the TV show
The show family matters was a good show and I use to love watching it all the time when it was on the air. I love how the characters on the show were just average people; working average jobs but quite often dealt with major problems and this show …

The Brady Bunch
I grew up watching “The Brady Bunch” and probably know the plot of every joyously corny episode. The great thing is that, due to the advent of cable television, other generations are able to enjoy this show, too, and I can tune in and satisfy my need for some …
Lingo (Game Show)
One of the shows I like to watch once in awhile on the Game Show Network is Lingo. Two teams of two people compete against each other. They try to guess 5-letter words, and the first letter of that word is given. If one team doesn’t …
Paris Hilton’s My New BFF
I don’t understand why in the world Paris Hilton has multiple season on television where she is actually looking for a new best friend. Even weirder than that, is that television networks could even seriously consider airing a show for more than one season wherein people line up …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Ballad of Oscar Wilde
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 …
Diagnosis Murder: Witness to Murder TV Show
I don’t care much for Diagnosis Murder: Witness to Murder. There are some nice scenes with Dick Van Dyke as Dr. Mark Sloan trying to help a little girl named Blair who has been abused and doesn’t speak. He reaches her a little through drawing and such. …
Law & Order SVU: Pure
Even though the Law & Order SVU episode ‘Pure’ was made about two years ago, last night was the first night I had a chance to actually watch it. And, I have to say, I was really impressed by it.
Martin Short plays the bad guy; who at first seems …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Justice
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Justice is the first Prime Directive episode done on this series, although unfortunately, I do not think it is one of the show’s better “message” type shows. In this episode, the Enterprise crew visit a world that is very peaceful and quite laid …
BET’s The Boot
A new reality show from BET is The Boot. This show is not like those that you are used to, first two individuals whether it be two male or two females are in charge of picking from four contestants which one they deem worthy of dating. The four contestants …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - The Last Chapter (Episode)
“The Last Chapter” is the final episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. “The Dick Van Dyke Show” is easily one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, but it’s series finale, oddly enough, happens to be my least favorite of the series and I can think of many …
WWE Smackdown the TV show
Smackdown is a show that the WWE has and I am becoming a bigger fan week after week because the show is finally becoming good again. Smackdown has a good roster but it could be a lot better and the best guy they have right now is the wrestler …
Star Trek: The Way to Eden TV Show
Fandom is divided over this episode, but I love it. To me, Star Trek: The Way to Eden is a hoot. It’s not an Emmy winner, no, but it is a solid, fun, and entertaining hour. Here are a few thoughts about this episode that stand …
Passport to Europe TV Show

In each episode, Samantha visits a different city somewhere in Europe then takes you along with her as she visits historical landmarks, famous places, experiences local cuisines and cultures, takes …

Psych: High Noon-ish
I like the show Psych and think it is one of the better comedies on TV right now. But, last night’s episode “High Noon-ish” was a bit lame by the standards I’ve come to expect from the series.
Shawn and Gus are recruited to help the owner of an old …
Super Mario World - A Little Learning
Super Mario World - “A Little Learning” is not one of my favorite episodes of the series. That is actually an understatement as I really do not care for this episode. The plot simply did not quite interest me. In this episode, Princess Toadstool opens a school and the …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Prize Fight Story
Since I’m not a fan of fighting as a sport, I wasn’t particularly taken with Have Gun - Will Travel: The Prize Fight Story from the first season of this western series. Series star Richard Boone had his Paladin character helping out an old friend, first by watching …
