Adam-12: Log 125: A Safe Job
In April 1971, the final episode of the third season of Adam-12, a half-hour crime drama, was aired. The show was entitled Log 125: A Safe Job. It’s a fairly decent show to end a year on. It’s not a big favorite, but it is an …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bird of Time TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bird of Time, an episode which aired early in the western’s sixth season on the air, went right into the action, avoiding one of the traditional San Francisco openings. I always lament the lack of the fancy Paladin beginnings. They add …
Sable: Hunt
In this second episode of the short-lived series, Sable, entitled Hunt, Jon Sable’s girlfriend, Eden Kendell (Rene Russo), gets a job offer that would require a move to New York. She wants Jon to go with her, but he’s not eager to uproot himself and leave behind his …
The Office: Crime Aid
“Crime Aid” is the forth episode of this season of The Office on NBC. This was a very funny episode and I enjoyed it a lot! All the characers were ‘on’ in this episode and Michael was even crazier than normal.
I liked the growing relationship between Holly …
The Simpsons: In the Name of the Grandfather
I haven’t seen too many recent Simpsons episodes but I had a chance to watch a couple of them (in re-runs last night).
One of those, “In the Name of the Grandfather” was kind of cool.
I love how this episode starts out. The Simpsons end up buying a hot tub …
The Jeffersons (TV Show) - The Visitors (Episode)
“The Visitors” is an episode of “The Jeffersons”. In this episode, the audience gets to meet both Florence’s mother and father. First, Florence’s mother shows up at the Jeffersons’ apartment, much to the surprise of everyone, including Florence, but another surprise soon hits, and it’s one that shocks Florence …
Supernatural: Lazarus Rising
I have to admit, i wasn’t expecting much of this season. It starts four months after the end of season 3, when Dean was killed and sent to hell. Dean wakes up in a coffin, in the middle of a forest. He was liberted from hell. …
Casual Friday : Office episode
This is the latest episode of the office. I think it is one of the funniest shows of this show that I have ever seen. I must have laughed at least 5 times, and loud and long laughs too. I laughed a lot while watching the show. It was …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 23: Roland
On its own merits, this episode is not half bad. The one major drawback is that the plot is very, very similar to that of the last episode. While comparison between this and “Born Again” were inevitable, I can’t help but feel like the producers made a …
John Edward Cross Country
I do believe in the paranormal. I believe in ghosts, spirits, and poltergeists. I also believe that there are people in the world who can communicate with spirits or beings from the other side. Apparently, John Edward is one of those people. I’ve actually …
Adam-12 Season 3 DVD Set
Thank goodness for Shout Factory. Because of them, the Adam-12 Season 3 DVD Set is available for purchase, and that’s a great thing. While I don’t always like the way Shout Factory organizes their various sets, I’m grateful that they are making shows available that Universal Studios …
Family Guy 8×08: Dog Gone
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 …
Stargate: Infinity: Hot Water TV Show
Why is that there is always one traitor on every world to mess things up? I suppose it’s natural, but as a plot device, it’s just way overused. It’s too much of the easy catalyst for why things go wrong. This is what we have again …
The Simpsons Season 8 episode 4
The Simpsons family enjoy an outing during the autumn season. Homer seems very disappointed as well as bored since he did not go to watch the game. Meanwhile MrBurns is returning back to Springfield in a train. The train stops due to some obstacle on the railways tracks. A …
The Office: Branch Closing
“Whatever you can say about Michael, he wouldn’t have done that,” is the line of the episode. Watching “The Office” is about watching Michael do stupid things, but it’s good to be reminded occasionally that he has his good points and though in real like he almost certainly …
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 6
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 6 is the final episode of the miniseries and it’s a very good episode. Melissa Lawson won Nashville Star a couple years ago, but her life and Rick had an affair with another woman.
This was a good final episode and it ended on …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 5: The Girl in the Fireplace
From what I’ve seen, Doctor Who episodes fall into three categories: ones that take place in the distant past, ones that take place in the distant future, and ones that take place on an alien world. Of course, there are several that take place in the present, thus …
Cobra 11 TV show
I don’t usually watch tv shows and specially not those about the police.I saw a few episodes of Cobra 11, a german police movie and the only thing I remember is that there are 2 protagonists, one of them is really cute and they have to make sure that …
Out of This World: The Nightmare TV Show
Episode 3 of 1987’s science fiction comedy series, Out of This World, is called The Nightmare. It’s an appropriate title since teenager Evie Garland (Maureen Flannigan) spends most of the show fretting about her nightmare. Evie is half-alien (as in out of this world, father from another …
That Girl: Stop the Presses, I Want to Get Off
That Girl: Stop the Presses, I Want to Get Off is an enjoyable entry for this outstanding comedy program. Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) shoots a fashion design for a publication. Just as an aside, I couldn’t help but notice the modern look of her outfit. She …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: I only have eyes for you
In one of the traditions I’ve come to expect from the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the episode “I only have eyes for you” gets away from the whole fighting vampires thing and has the slayer fighting another creature of the night. This time, it happens to be the …
Sea Hunt: The Destroyers TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Destroyers, episode 3 of season 4, was a little bit different from the normal show in that it centered around two ships that collided in the harbor. Unfortunately, the situation looks bad for one Navy man, which is why expert diver and one time Navy …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Haunted Trees TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Haunted Trees was a bit of a mystery outing for this half-hour western. It begins with the request of a female lumber mill owner for Paladin’s help. Paladin isn’t known for turning down the offer of money, or the ladies.
In this …
The Golden Girls TV Show
My Mother used to love this show so much, as do I.
There are four woman who live together, along with the elderly Mother of one of them.
the ladies. Her name is Sophia.
She is a cranky old soul, always wanting to be independant, beyond her means and very abrasive the …

Sandy is starting to get lonely living in Bikini Bottom. She is wishing she was back home in Texas with her squirrel friends. Spongebob and Patrick are trying to comfort her and they do not want her to leave Bikini Bottom. They are trying to make …
South Park: The Ring
South Park, after more than ten years, continues to become more and more stale. The episode entitled “The Ring”, is no different in my opinion. The episode centers around the Jonas brothers, and how Disney seems to use them to sell sex appeal to young women. Kenny’s girlfriend loves …
Ghost Hunters: Ghostly House Guest
Well, I’m almost through all the season 3 episodes of Ghost Hunters and have to say I really haven’t been too impressed with the so-called evidence they are collecting.
The one we watched last night, Ghostly House Guest, had some potential. There was a house that was supposedly being haunted by …
Married With Children Episode 9.17: 25 Years and What Do You Get?
What a marked improvement over the last episode this was. Both plotlines brought laughs throughout. Heck, even Buck had some great dialogue. Which is impressive as, by and large, using voice over to convey animal thoughts, from what I’ve seen, is rarely effective.
It’s interesting how both …
Natalie Teeger
For some time, there was a big debate about who was the better Monk assistant, Sharona Fleming or Natalie Teeger. That’s easy to answer; Natalie.
The thing I like about Natalie as his assistant is the fact she isn’t afraid to stand up to him and make him confront his …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 5
In this episode, Sherry tries to connect to her dream man (Drew) through an Ouija board and she starts to receive messages telling her that he is real.
One of the elder vampires pays Dr. Murdoch a visit to his office and warns him about the stirring and about …
Ghost Hunters: Hartford Conservatory
Wow, that was a boring Ghost Hunters episode; “Hartford Conservatory.” How in the world did this show last beyond its second season with episodes like this one almost every single week.
You have the TAPS team visiting two places. One is a residence in New Jersey and the other is …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Time Lock TV Show
From 1967, the eighth episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s fourth season is called Time Lock. It’s an okay episode that has some entertainment value going for it. The crux of the hour long science fiction show is that Admiral Harriman Nelson, as played …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Chase TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Chase opens with an Arizona wife venturing to San Francisco to hire Paladin (Richard Boone). She believes her husband is innocent of the crime he’s accused of. The situation is dire, though, because the sheriff and his posse are out for …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-14-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer’s second show was on September 14, 2010, and I must say these two women need an infusion of energy and personality. They did at least welcome the viewers this time before entering into their boring interaction. Not only that, but Alexis showed …
Adam-12: Eyewitness
My favorite scene in Adam-12: Eyewitness from season four is a segment with a dog. It’s a cute dog and in the show, he’s a seeing eye dog. I pretty much enjoy everything about this and the way Martin Milner as Officer Pete Malloy plays with him.
This …
Diagnosis Murder: Misdiagnosis Murder TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Misdiagnosis Murder is a show I just don’t enjoy. It’s heavy on the Dr. Jesse Travis (Charlie Schlatter) character, and he’s my least favorite of all. He never follows orders, and he’s so hyper in this outing from the lack of sleep that I just want …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.18: Today is the Day, Part 1
Back in the present, Sarah learns about Riley’s death and implicates Cameron, but John isn’t sure.

M*A*S*H: Private Charles Lamb
Radar O’Reilly’s (Gary Burghoff) love for animals really starts to become a bigger part of things in M*A*S*H: Private Charles Lamb. We’ve already seen his animal pin where he takes care of an assortment of critters, but now we see how far he’ll go to protect all animals, …
The Catherine Tate Show (BBC)
It took me a while to realise how funny Catherine Tate is and how good her sketch show is. I only started watching it when the UK nation was already quoting her ‘Lauren’ character and saying “I ain’t bovvered” at every opportunity. I have grown to really …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 17
As we await on what we have slowly ascertained to be true, we are proved wrong once more in a single glance by a master of the trade. Now in the face of the unknown, we must prove the proof of fire in our souls or burn in agony …
The Forgotten - Football John
While the second and third issues of this new ABC crime drama haven’t been as good as the pilot, they’ve still been entertaining and have held my interest. This third entry, Football John, was quite interesting.
For me, the main thrust of The Forgotten - Football John was to …
Star Trek: The Galileo Seven TV Show
Star Trek: The Galileo Seven is a good one. It’s another that deals with the issue of prejudice aimed towards Mr. Spock. It’s odd that so many would harbor ill will in his direction, but it’s constant throughout the series. The catalyst for the drama here …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Bob Wire TV Show
The funny thing about the Bob Wire episode of Have Gun - Will Travel from season six is that I didn’t realize the title was the name of a character. I was thinking it was an object, like barbed wire. Alas, Bob Wire is the name of …
Big Love show
When I first heard about the television show Big Love I expected something sexier, something funny, witty and basically something completely different to what the show is.
Why? Because it’s a show about polygamy and having three wives can only mean one thing . . . drama.
So there isn’t …
CSI New York Season 4 Episode 12- Happily Never After
I thought this episode was really smart. I didn’t like all of it, but the scientific parts of it were really interesting. The second case was really good.
In the first case Fiona Chislom, a hotel-owner, hater by everyone to the extend that when her body is found, the people …
Outlaw: In Re: Tracy Vidalin TV Show
Outlaw: In Re: Tracy Vidalin gave Jimmy Smits’ character of ex Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza a bit of unexpected drama to tackle. This story includes a twist towards the end that some might see coming early on, but others will be surprised at. It is one …
Deal or No Deal TV Game Show
Deal or No Deal is such a fun new game show on NBC! The first time I watched it, I was watching it with my boyfriend and his family. We turned it on and were like what is this? Within a few minutes, we were yelling at the tv …
Have Gun - Will Travel: First, Catch a Tiger TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: First, Catch a Tiger was the first show of the season for year number three. I love how it starts, with Paladin playing chess against himself. He tells Hey Boy that he doesn’t like doing that because “I always know what I’m …
The Cleveland Show
My family has been watching the show Family Guy for some time now (at least until our 5-year-old started repeating some of the stuff she shouldn’t have and we took a break from it) so we were interested when we learned there was going to be a spin-off starring …
