OK, just when I thought cartoons based on comic books have gone a bit too far, there is another one that pops up. Batman vs. Dracula is one of the examples of it.
The Batman character has gone through a few transformations over the years and the Cartoon Network version …

Hawaii Five-O: Six Kilos is another showcase for Jack Lord. So many episodes are nearly solo vehicles for Lord, and this is another one of them. The rest of the cast are relegated to brief moments on the screen as McGarrett checks in with them.
In Six Kilos, McGarrett …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: George Burns TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast presented a 90-minute roast of the legendary George Burns. Filmed in Las Vegas, there were a lot of comics on the dais, which isn’t surprising.
What made this fun is that Burns was in control the whole way. When Gene Kelly stood and …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Promised Land TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Promised Land is the first episode of this series that aired in 1983. It’s funny what stands out to a person, but one of the things I am amused by as I rewatch this program is how star Richard Dean Anderson (he plays …
Superstar Food Stylists (Food Network program)
The Food Network lover that I am, I tuned into this show and was amazed that it wasn’t a “cooking” show per se, but a food styling show. What was interesting is that all the stylists have a heavy background in cooking. But the actual …

The M*A*S*H folks assigned to putting out a complete DVD set really did a powerful job. This magnificent set is called M*A*S*H The Martinis & Medicine Collection and includes 36 disks. It comes in a sturdy denim-like case. It actually looks like a book with four …
Diagnosis Murder: My Baby Is Out of This World TV Show
Boy, do I not like this show, Diagnosis Murder: My Baby Is Out of This World. In fact, in my view, it was a horrible way to end a TV season. I think they should have reversed this one with the one that aired before it, which …

Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Easy Chicken Menu included Quinn’s 23 year old son, Calder. He’s been on this cooking show several times before, but this is the first one to my knowledge where he’s been on it from start to finish. Frankly, it’s a good …
37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards TV Show

Crimewatch
Crimewatch is a local TV show that I like to watch because it gives me the latest insight on what’s going on in my country; crime-wise, of course. It is not that interesting to find out that someone has been robbed or killed, but I think the show gives …

Super Bowl XLII Halftime show
I’ve seen just about every Super Bowl Half Time show over the past decade; even when didn’t watch the game. But, last night’s performance by Tom Petty was one of the most boring performances I’ve seen in a long while.
I understand how the NFL is now afraid of any …

When I was younger, I used to watch the show Married with Children; mostly because it came on after the Simpsons. But, after a while, I did stop watching it. Recently, however, I have found it in re-runs on the weekend and have gotten hooked again.

Pokemon (TV Show) - Pokemon, I Choose You! (Episode)
“Pokemon, I Choose You!” is the first episode of the animated television show, “Pokemon”. As the first episode of the series, it works on a number of levels. For one thing, the first episode of any new television show needs to establish the primary characters and provide the primary …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Ties That Bind
“The Ties That Bind” is a pretty bland episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. The episode features Miracle Man, Big Barda and the Flash. Mister Miracle struck me as uninteresting, and Big Barda just seems to be a rip-off of Wonder Woman. Plus, the main villians …

The Twilight Zone: The Gift TV Show
I’m not sure exactly why, but The Twilight Zone: The Gift has never been a favorite episode, even though the ending is pretty much up my alley when it comes to science fiction. I think in part it’s the cultural thing because the story takes place entirely …

M*A*S*H: Heroes
