Have Gun - Will Travel: Unforgiving Minute, episode 20 of season six of the Richard Boone western series, does not have my beloved introduction that takes place in San Francisco. I’m not sure how many shows in this year were without them, but from what I’ve seen in …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Rivals, from April 1963, isn’t really my favorite show, but it does have some cute moments. I’m just not really into these young love and puppy love stories that much, and essentially, that’s what this is.
One of the most adorable scenes is at …

I am amazed at how truly entertaining and educational this show is. I’ve been watching it for a few weeks now with my six month old son. I am truly impressed. I can’t stand to watch most of the preschool programming that comes on TV. They’re usually so boring or …

Now this has got to be the best ever television comedy series ever made, not just coming out of the United Kingdom, but ever!
I simply love the “Nick” character and reckon the entire sitcom would be a whole lot less appealing without Nick. While all the other characters are …

The first time that I saw a glimpse of this show, I did not think that I would like it. I figured that this would be another one of those karaoke centered shows that had contestants filling in the lyrics to randomized popular songs. Although this show …

I have finished watching Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 2 yesterday on my local TV channel and it was another fun and dazzle episode once more with lots of colorful characters filling through. For a start, you get to see Gabrielle trying so hard to get back inside the …

I have so very much enjoyed the handful of 1954-1955 episodes of Sherlock Holmes that I’ve seen. This TV series starred Ronald Howard as the famous detective. I really like his smooth portrayal of Holmes. This specific entry is the 14th episode of the series and …

Angry hearts rage, as our own base instincts create the most terrifying weapon from within our own souls. In darkness or in doubt, some times the brotherly love of friends can even defy death in an effort to manipulate their affections across in the most pained of ways. On …

Hmm, first a Monk Christmas episode and now a Psych one; anyone else sense a theme here? Just kidding. As far as the episode “Christmas Joy” goes, it wasn’t too bad but also didn’t quite hit the standards I’ve come to expect from this detective show.
I will say the …

My wife and I finally got a chance to watch last week’s Psych episode; Death is in the air. Here is what I thought about it.
Synopsis: Shawn and Gus are hired by a courier who got drunk the night before and lost a cooler containing a deadly virus. They …

With the X-Files shut down, it seems like it would be difficult to continue the plot. If nothing else, you would expect the status quo to quickly reassert itself. Interestingly enough, this episode does neither of these things. It does indeed pick up after the events …

Star Trek: The Slaver Weapon is a December 1973 episode of the animated Star Trek series which featured the wonderful voices of just about the entire live action cast. This is one of the more serious shows in term of topic and tone. It all surrounds a …

I ended up watching an A-Team marathon this past weekend and one of the episodes was entitled Waiting for Insane Wayne.

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 …

M*A*S*H: Depressing News is a very good episode that is also thought provoking at points. The setup begins when a truckload of 500,000 tongue depressors when they’d only ordered 5,000. It’s an obvious error, but it’s one that strikes a chord inside of Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda). …

This episode of Chase was called Above the Law. The series stars Kelli Giddish as Annie Frost, who heads her own team of United States Marshals. The woman has issues, though, and those always seem to be simmering beneath the surface.
The hour chiefly revolves around a man, …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 22 has Aramaki arrest the DEA Head while investigating the supposed reappearance of his brother while the government moves against Section 9 after they are exposed and go after the Major.
This episode was really well done. The plot was good …

Kudos to “Jumong”, a Korean telenovea running in Philippine local TV daily from Monday to Friday at prime time. I was not curious to anticipate the program when it was first launched its premier telecast a year ago since it will will be run at the late hour …

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 …

What I like about this series: I’m not going …

Television became the lucky recipient of an innovative and quality science fiction series, beginning October 2, 1959. The show was called The Twilight Zone and came from the mind of Rod Serling, who narrates each episode.
The very first episode, Where Is Everybody?, featured Earl Holliman in what is …

Quite honestly, Due South: Dead Guy Running didn’t capture and maintain my interest very much. The story dealt with the past case of the real Ray Vecchio, a case in which he almost lost his badge. When one of the guys from that situation shows up and …

I ended up watching some re-runs of the television series Star Trek the Next Generation this past weekend. And, one of those episodes was one I hadn’t seen before called Devil’s Due.

Desperate housewives is a show created by Marc Cherry. He was inspired by the women in his life.
As I viewer I find Desperate Housewives funny, endearing and engaging.
What’s great about the show is that it’s always changing and so for a series that has been around a long …

John Doe: The Rising is the final episode of this one-year episode and it essentially picks up not all that long after the last show ended. The topic in it was remote viewing, and John Doe (Dominic Purcell) was the subject. It’s actually a little disturbing to …

That ’70s Show is a really good show. It’s also amazing that is was on the air from 1998 until 2006. This makes it a very long lasting TV show. I think the idea and concept of the TV show is great. I like how they made a show that …

Written by Rod Serling, I felt that The Twilight Zone: King Nine Will Not Return, which was this first show of the second season, was weak. It was bland and has always left me feeling disconnected and uninvolved. Even though there is that moment of ‘oh …

The synopsis for this episode filled me with dread. If there’s one concept in this show more loathed than Slimer, it’s the Junior Ghostbusters and this is the episode that plants the seed for that concept. I was all ready to hate this episode and bash on …
