What makes Have Gun - Will Travel: The Ballad of Oscar Wilde from the second season of this western series starring Richard Boone so fun is a combination of the guest cast and the repertoire of Paladin and novelist Oscar Wilde.

The Defining Moment is a mix of boring and seriousness and at the same time, isn’t that bad to watch. I’m still watching this TV Drama, but judging by the first few episodes, a lot has to be said and I could see some ‘repeats’ of other local TV …

Imagine if you found out your better half was dying of a terminal illness. A revelation like that is bound to do all manner of things to your mind, but you probably wouldn’t react like Jill Tyrell, the monstrous but somehow lovable lead of this terrific comedy. After finding …

Much of the focus in John Doe: Family Man is on Detective Frank Hayes (John Marshall Jones) who is dealing with an impending divorce and custody issues. It’s that same old thing about a cop’s job interfering with family life. While I have sympathy, I also think …

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 …

I’m not sure at what point Marlo Thomas decided that this fourth season would be the last of That Girl, but I’ve noticed all season long that there was an additional warmth between Ann Marie and Donald Hollinger. It’s hard to put into words, but it’s a comfort …

That Girl: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Nervous is the first of a two-part story where Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) gets her first Broadway role. She’s very excited about it, and her boyfriend Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) is very supportive, even though it means that Ann will be …

Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer is a tv show my kids and I have enjoyed for years.

I also like the misfit toys, when they are introducing themselves.
and the …

Emerald Point N.A.S. is an ensemble series and there are some pieces of that ensemble that I like better than others. Glenn Matthews is a wimp of a character, and I’m so sick of him; in fact, I wish he wasn’t part of that ensemble. As portrayed …

Seinfeld was always one of my favorite TV shows growing up. Even to this day I can watch this show over and over and never get bored of it. I think Seinfeld is a true comedy classic. Seinfeld has classic characters that we will remember forever like Kramer. And this …

At first, I thought she was …

Philip Ahn guest stars as Mr. Kim, the tailor, in M*A*S*H: Change Day. Ahn has been in other episodes of this comedy, including the one in which Alan Alda virtually did a one-man show when Hawkeye Pierce was injured and had to keep talking in case he had …

It’s a piece of mayhem in M*A*S*H: Peace on Us. Once again, the rigors of the Korean War become unbearable for the doctors and nurses. The whole camp is on edge with everyone being overly testy. Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) is fit to be tied over …

Basically what happens is that Barney gets his nose out …

I think that Poltergeist The Legacy is the best supernatural and scary show to ever come on TV. One thing I really liked about this show was that is actually came on very last on weekends. I mean this show has it all evil spirits, demons, monsters. And it even …

My wife and I used to watch the show Scrubs when it first came on the air but got away from it for a while. However, we’ve been watching re-runs lately and I find myself wondering why we stopped watching this series.
One of the episodes I watched the other day …

I was a little apprehensive about how interesting a show about marijuana could be. Let the record show that this program is definitely NOT for children. The storyline is quite interesting actually: a widwo makes money to support her family (two boys) by selling marijuana in her …

One of the things I like about That Girl is that they celebrate a lot of the holidays, or at least acknowledge them. Some shows may do Christmas, but that’s about it, so this is quite nice. The occasion here is New Year’s Eve, and to welcome …

I had seen the television series of Transformers. I liked the series very much. When a movie was released of the same kind, I was overjoyed and expected it to be way better than the series. And it was exactly that way.
