Medium: Talk to the Hand had a very different beginning. The opening teaser has Alison with Mr. Bill about safety. Mr. Bill was such a contemporary figure a couple of decades back. I was never that amused with him, but once you see him, it’s hard …

From March 1988, Probe: Now You See It… makes me chuckle. The fun part about the lead character of Austin James (Parker Stevenson) is that he is responsible for some great inventions. One of his creations is what I’ll call the talking elevator. It greets you, …

Every once in a while, the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer will dedicate an episode to teaching its main character an important life lesson.
The episode Lie to Me focuses on teaching Buffy the importance of knowing who to trust.
This episode brought in one of her friends from Los Angeles …

As a young child, I adored watching TV westerns. I definitely had my favorites and still do. No western for me is as great as Laramie, for example. That said, many westerns held my interest and curiosity, including Have Gun - Will Travel, a show that …

The first thing I noticed about MacGyver: The Escape, which is the twentieth episode of the first season is that we’re heading towards the infamous mullet hairdo. Richard Dean Anderson’s hair is dramatically longer here than in the previous episode, so there clearly was no visit to the …

This was another good week on Dancing with the Stars. It’s a fairly competent cast and for the first time there isn’t just one runaway couple, but a few teams that are truly in contention to win the big ball.
This week the stars danced either the Argentine Tango …

CHiPs: Flashback! is the final episode of the first season, and it’s terrific and is hands down the best of the year. In the course of this hour, we finally see just how Jon Baker (Larry Wilcox) met Frank Poncherello (Erik Estrada).
The catalyst for the flashbacks which combine …

The latest episode of America’s Next Top Model featured designer Zac Posen as an active participant and then judge for the aspiring models. Zac talked to the girls about their next runway show the next night when they will be modeling his line, which was a huge honor, …

From what I’ve read, this episode was critically lambasted. To its credit, the episode does have some strong ideas behind it, but the execution of it ends up doing the plot a disservice. There are several instances where astronauts have reported seeing something out in space during …

Rush is an Australian TV series set in Melbourne, Australia. I follow this series religiously because it is an eye-opener in terms of the differences between the police in the US and Australia. The accent is a bit difficult to follow, but after a while, you begin to understand …

Beast Wars - Cutting Edge is an episode that has some decent action, but other than that, does not really appeal to me. For one, I do not find Cheetor developing a crush on Blackarachnia or the tension that emerges between Silverbolt and Cheetor as a result to be …

Jean Hagen guest stars in The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and the Woman Speeder, a classic show about a small town, a big city female, and the law. After a cute bit about fishing that includes Andy Griffith as Sheriff Andy Taylor, Ron Howard as Opie Taylor, Don …

Masquerade was winding down its single-season run when the episode Spying Down to Rio aired on April 27, 1984. While I love the series, which is about an American intelligence agency making use of regular citizens to achieve their goals and accomplish a mission, this particular show …

In this episode the Simpsons (Homer, Lisa and Bart) eat too many sweets from trick or treating and each have nightmares.
Lisa Nightmare The Monkey Paw

The Jetsons is a great TV show that started in the 60s. But later there were more shows made in the 80s and the re runs were shown for decades. This is a great show, and I really love how they thought the 21th Century was going to be. The …

Peter goes gay in this so-so instalment of the popular animated serial, but unfortunately this simple enough idea turns out a disappointing twenty or so minutes.
The story is as simple has ever, with a to be expected ludicrous set up. Peter buys a retarded horse, enters into a derby, …

Supernatural at first glance was a complicated show but after watching the first few shows of the most recent season the show is very good and I am saying this right now that you need to check this show out ASAP because it is non stop entertainment at its …

One of the DVD extras for the Star Trek series is the Chief Engineer’s Log. It’s actually a little hard to watch for me. James Doohan was such a force. He died in July 2005, and this was an interview taped a year and a half …

Well, if Simpsons character Apu can mess up and cheat on his wife, then you know all men have a problem. That’s just what happened in the episode The Sweetest Apu.
Of course, you really can’t blame him considering his wife is hot but probably is exhausted after taking care …

The episode begins with Homer and Marge fooling their kid’s and begin intimacy during the day. Bart and Lisa are terrified looking at it. Later Nelson invited everyone to his birthday party. However Bart urges that everyone should not go. However Marge makes him go for the party. Bart …

War and Remembrance: A Living History aired a couple of weeks prior to the showing of War and Remembrance, the massive mini-series which continued the story of the Henry family from The Winds of War.
A Living History is narrated by Robert Mitchum which is interesting because I recall that …

I think Ellen is a pretty good talk show. I don’t think Ellen is that interesting but she dos have some very interesting and cool guest come onto her show. I think it was really cool when she had Leah Remini on the show. Now I love Leah so I …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Flaming Ice, the 22nd show from season four, guest starred Michael Pate as Gelid, along with regulars Richard Basehart and David Hedison as Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane respectively. The Seaview is under the arctic cap and yet the temperature outside …

As much as I like the show Psych, I was commenting to my wife the other day that the characters don’t seem to spend as much time trying to pretend he’s psychic than they did in the past. So, this episode, There’s Some thing about Mira, was really refreshing.
First, …

Synopsis: This Spongebob episode takes you behind the scenes at the Krusty Krab by showing you the training video that shows you what it takes to be a Krusty Krab employee.
What I liked about this episode: The video itself was somewhat funny because it did remind me quite a …

This episode is so funny. Squidward gets his first taste of a Krabby Patty and falls absolutely in love with it. He decides that he likes it so much that he cannot get enough of it, but he doesn’t want to admit to Spongebob that he likes it so …

Super Mario World - “The Yoshi Shuffle” is one of the show’s most entertaining episodes, I think. In this episode, Luigi gets transformed into an egg by a Magikoopa and stolen by Bully and Cheatsy. Mario and Yoshi follow them to Koopa’s Castle where they must engage in a …

I was able to watch a re-run of the show in the Disney Channel last week. It still made me laugh my heart out. But nothing compares to the first time that you’ve seen Mr. Bean do his crazy antics. I …

This is my second favorite show of all time. I love this show. Ellen always has something fun and exciting going on, on her show. She has a lot of celebrities and non celebrities on her show. One of the main reasons I love her show is mainly because …

One day while Spongebob was taking out the trash he noticed that there was quite a bit of graffitti on the garbage dumpster. He couldn’t believe that some people would do such a thing to the Krusty Krab’s property. He starts to read some of the things that are …

This is the very first pilot episode of Spongebob when it first came out. I think that this was a great first episode. Spongebob goes out to a local restaurant, The Krusty Krab, trying to get hired. He is asked to find a rare spatula, and …

In an clash of beliefs and a clash of dreams meet reality in one definite boom. Tell me this, young star which the heavens so openly embrace in their omnipresence of existence, why must man fight among themselves and why must we hold such an doubt when an lie …

You may have heard of MTV’s Pimp My Ride, but have you ever seen CMT’s version: Trick My Truck? I watched this show last night on CMT and was amazed. Trick My Truck is a show where people nominate their parent or friend who drives a big rig …

Last night Lyndsey and I watched the second episode of Auf Wiedersehen Pet. This episode was called If I were a carpenter. This episode focused on Neville’s (Played by Kevin Whately) plight as a carpenter when really he is a bricklayer. Dennis (Tim Healy) tries to …

I really wonder why the doctor from Star Trek Voyager, I know his name is Robert Picardo, but for some reason he’ll always remain the doctor from the Voyager to me, has to play negative characters all the time?
This episode was actually one of the better ones of the …

There is something strange about the episodes of The Twilight Zone that aired these last season of the series. They are strange, even for being strange. The Encounter aired in May 1964, and it has two men inexplicably having a crazy encounter that leaves both in shambles.
For …

In this first season episode of MacGyver, Mac is headed out on vacation. He wants to go fishing at a spot where his father used to take him to. Incredibly, he always manages to get lost when he goes, and that’s what happens here again. Mac …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Ella West starts a little differently with Paladin (Richard Boone) arriving in Abilene, so we don’t get the normal San Francisco beginning. Variety is good, though, so it’s nice to get a shake up in the opening scene. That doesn’t necessarily mean …

Diagnosis Murder: Vanishing Act: Part 2 concludes the previous week’s story, beginning with Dr. Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) getting away with a narrow escape.
One of the main focuses of this end of the two parter is medical resident Jack Stewart coming up close with his past. He …

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 …

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 …

Family Guy continues its eighth run with this Brian focused episode, “Dog Gone” a pretty standard tale of Brian at odds with the world that doesn’t really deliver too many laughs, but proves a funny enough outing in this largely mediocre eighth season.
When Brian hears his novel “Faster …

A Bones tradition is ending the season with a Christmas episode. This year was no different. And, I will say the episode The Goop on the Girl was actually pretty entertaining.
Booth and Bones have to investigate the death of an exterminator who blows himself up during a botched bank robbery …

I don’t watch a lot of PBS (Public Broadcasting System) shows and never have. I just didn’t grow up watching the dramas too much, probably because so much of it is British and the culture was strange to me as a child. I didn’t know what they …

The Twilight Zone: The Fever isn’t about being physically ill in the sense of having the flu or some ailment, but rather, it’s about an addiction, and a surprising one at that. A casino welcomes its latest guests, a couple from a small town. They think …

That Girl: Gone A-Courtin’ once again has Seymour as Ann Marie’s agent. This is probably my number one pet peeve about That Girl, the rotating agent that flip flops from being the mostly unseen Seymour and then a guest starring agent that serves some comedic purpose in the …

Justice League - “Only a Dream” Part One is a solidly entertaining episode that features some fluid animation and a story that is quite unlike any other episode of the series. I kind of felt that this episode was a little predictable in some respects, like when it comes …
