So I was bored on day and decided to see what was new ondemand. I had stumbled upon a new series on HBO called True Blood about a back woods Lousianna town where vampires run rampant. I got sucked in by Anna Paquin’s character Sookie who has …

Dan Curtis is center stage for The Winds of War: Making The Winds of War featurette which takes interested viewers through the process of what it was like to make the outstanding television mini-series, The Winds of War and its follow up, War and Remembrance.
One of the intriguing things …

Star Trek: The Paradise Syndrome is really a tender show. I’m not into the Kirk romances, but I do like this one because it is true of spirit. It’s real and not some sophisticated thing or past fling who returns. This is a love of the …

“Your Home Sweet Home Is My Home” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode consists mainly of a flashback which takes the viewers back to a time when Rob and Laura, with the help of neighbors Jerry and Millie, were searching for a new home …

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 episode 1 begins with a young boy named Setsuna fighting in a war as a child. He is rescued by someone in a mysterious suit called a Gundam. He joins the organization called Celestial Being which seeks to eliminate war.
This episode is pretty …

Recap: A criminal metahuman seeks revenge on the three men responsible for his death 2 years ago. Iris is determined to get Wally out of drag racing while Wells sets to betray the team.

I liked this episode because all of the things that were at the back of my …

My first beef with tonight’s two-hour show is that the first half-hour was a review. I would have liked to have known that in advance. Traditionally, they’ve put review shows as a separate entity. Nevertheless, the real meat of the show was, of course, the dancing.
Melissa …

After a light-hearted, comedic episode, the show dives right into nightmare fuel territory with this episode. I’m surprised this doesn’t get more regard as it was fantastic. It probably ranks as one of the creepiest episodes of the series so far. Honestly, it puts “Blink” to …

Duck Doogers is a pretty cool TV show. I really do enjoy this show. Because I remember the old movie with Duck Doogers in it. And of course I always loved Marvin the Martian as a kid. He was always one of my favorite cartoons characters as a kid. Of …

Sam, Chris and Ray are talking about Maria. The two men teas Sam for sleeping with her and Sam says to Ray that he practically threw him into her arms because he was always saying how sexy she was but he never told him she was Gene’s daughter. Maria …

Right to Die was an episode from the second season of the popular horror anthology series Masters of Horror. The episode picks up with a couple on their way to a cabin. The wife distracts her husband for a moment and the two do not see the tree in …

The teen-adult oriented cartoon comedy Family Guy is one of the funniest shows currently on the air. The creators of the show are absolutely genius.
The story revolves around the Griffin family. They are pretty much your typical American family yet they go through a lot of shenanigans. Every …

Columbo: Murder Under Glass has a cooking theme, and this one doesn’t thrill me. Frenchman Louis Jourdan is full of his usual charm and sophistication as Paul Gerard, who is the killer of the episode. He’s involved in what they call a pre-affair with Eve Plummer. …

Eh, saw yet another Law & Order SVU episode last night, “Transitions” and, once again, I find myself very unimpressed with the show.
It’s not really the writers’ fault. It’s just, after so many seasons and so many episodes, it’s very hard to come up with something that is going …

I have to start with the fact that I don’t even own a TV. As it happens my husband early in his life decided it was a menace to his freedom of thought and time. So when we moved in together we simply agreed we wouldn’t own one. However …

Dexter has been my absolutely my most favorite show for many years. I love every minute of it. Season 6,, however, is not as entertaining as the previous one, though it is more intense and charged with meaning. Episode 4 of season 6 of Dexter was really, really …

From the second season of Wagon Train comes The Kitty Angel Story, and it’s a good one. It’s actually the fourteenth episode and it stars Anne Baxter as Kitty Angel. She’s awesome. She just lured me into this story like mad. You can tell quality …

“M.A.D. Trap” is an episode from the first season of the “Inspector Gadget” television series. This is one of those episodes of the series that uses the elimination of Inspector Gadget as the object of the story, as opposed to utilizing the two plot approach where M.A.D. is attempting …

I suppose someone behind the scenes decided that it was time to add a new set to the 4077th compound. Most scenes have traditionally been in the operating room, the Swamp, Henry’s office, including the clerk’s area, Houlihan’s tent, the showers, and the mess tent. With almost …

This episode picks up where the last left off, with the fire tribe locating both Aang and Kitara as well as the local tribe. The tribe views it as Aang’s fault and exiles him. He takes responsibility and agrees to go. Kitara stands up for him …

Dan Duryea is back in Laramie: The Mountain Men, and this isn’t one of the roles I prefer to see him in. He did several episodes of this series, though, including the very first episode, Stage Stop. Here he is Ben Sanford, the father of the mountain …

Series Name: Futurama
Episode Title: Episode 7: My Three Suns
My personal rating: 8/10
Episode seven of the first series of Futurama is certainly one of my all-time favorites. This episode has laugh after laugh, and especially if you are like me and are easily amused and laugh at absolutely anything. The …

I just love The Twilight Zone: Once Upon a Time which feels like a wonderful change of pace, which seems odd to say about a science fiction series that goes all over the place in terms of style and story. However, much of this thirty-minute episode is done …

Hypo Bandit was the opening episode for Highway Patrol’s third season. Broderick Crawford continues to star as Chief Dan Mathews, who heads up the California Highway Patrol. What I missed, though, were the presence of recurring actors William Boyett and Stuart Whitman, neither of whom appeared here.
In …

The Dean Martin Show Classics: Volume 4 has more fun from the classic The Dean Martin Show. I love going back in time to enjoy this musical variety show. One of my favorite moments is a singing segment with Dean and Petula Clark. They start out …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Quiet Night in Town: Part 1 opened a little differently than most other shows. It had what I call a gambit. That’s a word extracted from MacGyver, which in its opening year had a gambit that started several of the episodes. …

Well, since I was up anyway after watching Project Runway, I did take the time to watch Models of the Runway again (though I do think the show is getting a bit on the boring side now).
For the most part, it was pretty much the same old stuff. A …

From 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: To the Chicago Abyss concerns some future era when times are tough and food is precious. In fact, apparently very few are left who remember how life used to be, when everyone could go where they wanted and each fruits and vegetables.
I …

Im not much of a tv person but one of the shows I do watch when I watch tv is the show that Metal Show on vh1 classic. It’s a show that features comedians Don Jameson,Jim Florentine and Radio DJ Eddie Trunk. I really like how this show combines …

Death Note Episode 23 begins with Higuchi having a conversation with Rem after Matsuda doesn’t die after he wrote down his name while L tries to figure out who or what he’s talking to.
This episode was really good and had lots of twists and turns and surprises. I …

I’m afraid that The Fall Guy: The Silent Partner just doesn’t do it for me. In fact, it turned me off the first time I saw it, back in April 1982. Aside from a boring script, I have never been able to stomach Mickey Gilley, not as …

Hawaii Five-0: Ko’olauloa was a superb outing for this hit new series. I’m truly enjoying this re-think of the old Jack Lord series, and I have few problems or issues thus far with the direction of the show.
This episode is a personal one for the character of Kono, …

I watched the first season or two of Curb Your Enthusiasm recently. It’s a comedy show that used to be on HBO and it won a bunch of comedy awards so my favorable review is going to be nothing new to the enlightened television watcher who by fluke …

The League of Gentlemen is a strange show. Set in the fictional, northern town of Royston Vasey populated by a rabble of bizarre individuals; the show, superficially, appears a traditional enough sitcom. But it’s not.
Rather than jump between sketches, putting the same old faces through the same old …

The Thin Ice episode of MacGyver was more fun for hockey-loving Richard Dean Anderson whose MacGyver character returns home to Minnesota to help his old coach. The coach has been laid up and needs Mac to coach the team through the playoffs. Mac doesn’t hesitate to go.
Now …

Medium: Means and Ends was not a favorite outing for this series. It seems to me that this year has been very hit and miss. The show was barely renewed for this season, and I fear this could very well be the last if things don’t pick …

This episode of the long running wartime comedy took place mostly as a flashback. In M*A*S*H: The Novocaine Mutiny, Frank Burns (Larry Linville) has once again brought Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) up on charges, this time for mutiny of all things. With a colonel present to reside …

Direct Television is a great thing. We switch to direct a long time ago, and now we have it in four rooms of the house. It is a lot cheaper than many of the others, and you still get a lot of the channels, which you can choose. They …

Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 7 begins with Ed Elric receiving his State Alchemist pocket watch and returning to the Tucker Estate. Shou Tucker’s assessment is coming up and he has to produce new research or have his State certification as an alchemist revoked.
This is a very dark and …

Hawaii Five-O: No Blue Skies is another episode with a bit of a musical theme, and I love those. This time it’s Tommy Sands singing in the lounge of a Hawaii nightclub. He’s a fairly good singer, so I enjoyed the sounds a great deal.
Unfortunately, Sands’ character …

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: The Millionaire’s Life aired originally in March 1980 and was the detective show’s fifth outing. By now, we’re pretty comfortable in the unique relationship that is building between Lionel Whitney (Jeff Goldblum) and sometimes con man, E.L. ‘Tenspeed’ Turner (Ben Vereen).
This episode actually shows …

The Twilight Zone: Ring-A-Ding Girl is actually one of my favorite shows from the series, which is surprising since it aired in the fifth year, one which is full of lesser quality productions. This one, though, I’ve always enjoyed and I never tired of seeing it. It’s …

We started watching some more season 1 episodes of the show Ghost Hunters last night, starting with one called “The Armory.” I didn’t see much in terms of actual ghosts but it was definitely an interesting one.
This one had them visiting a military armory that was supposed to be …

The Young and the Restless has been one of my favorite TV shows for the past 15 years. There is always a new twist. The writers find a way to incorporate mayhem and mishaps through the lives a few select families. The families are all rich, but some richer …

John Doe: Mind Games is a good little story that begins with a woman and a young boy showing up on John’s doorstep and announcing that he’s probably the boy’s father. It’s another variation of the sperm bank story, but a bit more complex than normal.
I was impressed …

Well, last night’s episode of House, Ignorance is Bliss, could have been one of the better episodes from the series. After all, you have a genius who is no longer a genius and is suffering a variety of health ailments that can’t be explained (except by his addiction to …

Though filmed at the beginning of the season, the final episode of this groundbreaking, long running TV series was M*A*S*H: Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen. It attracted millions of viewers. I’m not sure if it’s still number one, but I think it is; if not, it’s still in …

Having just discovered Confessions of a Teen Idol on VH-1 yesterday during a re-airing of its fourth episode, today I tuned in for the latest showing, Episode 5.
The standout for me here was Jaime Walters, of Beverly Hills 90210 fame (I mistakenly stated he was on Baywatch in my …

Now this is how you make a Ghostbusters episode! No ridiculous comic relief that doesn’t work, but a crisis that tests the Ghostbusters’ abilities and an opponent who forces them to think outside the box.
The opening scene establishes the threat as a city worker is seemingly attacked …
