Sea Hunt: The Invader aired in July 1960 as the 30th outing of the underwater adventure series’ third season on the air. The show had a decent amount of under the water activity but it wasn’t as fun as others have been for a couple of reasons.
First of …

Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Chicken Chili Menu was a show that I was intrigued with. I am not a big cook, and there are big moments here that I would never do, but what I continue to enjoy is just watching Lucinda to see what she …

“Scent of a Monster: Chanela Will Steal Your Love” is the fifth episode of the Sailor Moon series and part of the episode’s story focuses on Luna becoming an accepted member of the Tsukino family. Even though this is only the fifth episode of the series, it still feels …

Sabrina the Teenage Witch was always a really cool show. This is a show about a Sabrina a teenage witch that has magical powers. She has many adventures in the show. Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a pretty good show and has some really good acting in it. I think …

Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer such as myself were delighted to hear Faith/Eliza Dushku would be continuing to act in the supernatural genre of television. She had turned down her own spin off from Buffy just to do Tru Calling. The Pilot is where us fans were holding …

As a big fan of the show What Not to Wear (the U.S. version), I couldn’t help but check out the British version when I saw it listed in my TV listings. I have to say, I was disappointed. Perhaps it is cultural. I enjoyed listening …

Bewitched The Complete Second Season In Black and White is a DVD season set that was released by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. All thirty-eight episodes from the second season of this television show are included on this DVD season set. The episodes run for around twenty-five minutes on average, …

Rod Serling introduced this episode of Night Gallery by saying that he was considered to be the Howard Cosell of the crypt. That was an odd start, but it makes sense, in an odd way. Then we get to the evening’s entertainment, a half hour vehicle written …

Airing originally in January 2004, Whoopi: American Woman features the usually very funny Rue McClanahan as a guest of the Hotel Lamont, the place owned by Mavis Rae (Whoopi Goldberg). The big surprise for me about this show is that there really weren’t any laughing out loud moments. …

Star Trek: Metamorphosis isn’t in my top favorites, but it is a solid episode that gives us some history as well. The premise is that a shuttle from the Enterprise is heading back to the ship after picking up a rather opinionated and ungrateful Ambassador Nancy Hedford (Elinor …

The Gungan General felt like a big step backwards for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Much of what I have liked in this series is that it didn’t feel like it was made for little kids. In previous episodes, it felt like the people in the show were adults.
In …

CSI without the Gil Grissom character just isn’t CSI, but the show is still plugging along. It’s not that it’s bad, it just lacks the zip and zest that Grissom injected into the action. Still, the March 5, 2009 episode called “Turn, Turn, Turn” was intriguing and …

Well, last night’s episode of Bones, The Dwarf in the Park, wasn’t too bad. Basically, they found the bones of a midget wrestler under a city street (after a sink hole formed, scary) and, while investigating, found a list of possible suspects in his murder; ranging from his replacement …

The Discovery Health Channel has introduced a show called Strictly Drew that is on Thursday evenings, and offered as an On-Demand option, for those of you who obtain that service from your cable company. Anyway, I have watched the show only twice and I am now addicted. …

The Ghostbusters are recruited by a police deputy to end his family curse and protect him from a ghost dog that rises on St. Patrick’s Day whenever there’s a full moon.
Continuing the trend from last episode we get a returning character in the form of the Harvey …

From November 1961, The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Hobo Friend had a superb guest star. Buddy Ebsen appeared as David Browne, a hobo who is befriended by Opie Taylor (Ron Howard).
Ebsen’s laid back manor and easy going acting ability really sells the audience on Browne being a hobo. …

After the tragedy of Apollo One, things around NASA were a little shaky. This is shown throughout From the Earth to the Moon - Part 3: We Have Cleared the Tower when preparations are underway for the Apollo 7 mission. The mission commander was Wally Schirra, played …

I can’t help but like The Twilight Zone: From Agnes - with Love because it features the adorable Wally Cox in it. Cox plays a computer programmer named James Elwood who takes over working with a computer named Agnes.
Now there is something important to recognize when you watch …

Beast Wars - Double Dinobot is an episode that offers up some comedy here and there and a decent, albeit not very fresh story idea as well as one of the few battles fought throughout the series that occur in beast forms. In this episode, Megatron succeeds in creating …

The problem with any mystery show is that they have to introduce new people every episode and one of them invariable has to be the person committing the crime they are trying to solve. Psych runs into this same problem.
In this episode there were three main guest stars, the …

I have a very big problem with Tales of the Gold Monkey: High Stakes Lady. The difference between this show and Bring ‘Em Back Alive, which totally butchered the subtle love affair between its leads, was this show is that in this series, the leads were a tad …

The Fugitive: Tug of War from season two is an interesting show that pits two law enforcement types against each other. Both want to bring Kimball in, and it’s quite the guessing game as to who will be the victor as the show progresses.
Don Gordon guest stars as …

Captain Kirk (William Shatner) has his hands full when he has to defend himself in Star Trek: Court Martial. He’s accused in the negligent death of one time friend, Lt. Cmdr. Ben Finney. The friendship ended when Kirk wrote up a negative report on the man. …

This episode is rather interesting. I think the producer is presenting a real problem that we are fighting with in our world. The use of experimental growth experiments on our food. And he actually poses a real problem in an appropriate manner somehow intermingling the idea into a family …

The Jetsons is a cartoon about a family living in the space age. George is the father, Jane is the mother, Judy is the daughter and Elroy is the boy. The Jetsons are a total hoot and a must see for children and adults alike. I like thinking that …

My daughter brought home a book from the library called Knuffle Bunny and I have to admit, it is one of the better books I’ve read to her.
This one actually reminded me a bit of our youngest daughter. Basically, you have a little girl who can’t speak yet but …

No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Vigilante followed the Powell family, now possessive of unusual powers, has they continue to adjust to their situation. This is a show that is a little bit science fiction, a part comedy, and a tad of drama as well. For me, the …

In 2010, the History Channel presented Jaws: The Inside Story, which is a great look at the making of Jaws, the 1975 movie hit. There are a wealth of new interviews and ones from the past that work together to present a really unique view of this film …

In every generation, there is a chosen one who is the vampire slayer and she stands alone against the forces of evil. Then, why is it in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episode “What’s My Line” they obviously have a system in place to allow more than one.
This episode, …

Wagon Train: The Gus Morgan Story is not one of my favorites. It really never appealed to me. It bores me, to be honest. Peter Falk is the main star, playing Gus Morgan. Also appearing is Tommy Sands as Gus’ brother, Ethan Morgan. The …

You wouldn’t think it, but this episode is just as good as the part that preceded it. Why? Two words, the Joker.
Yes, Batman’s arch-nemesis finally makes an official appearance. Not only does he appear, but he offers to join forces with Batman to take down Owlman and …

First things first, in regards to the theme song (which I’m still digging). The group is from Britain, they aren’t American like I said in the review for the first episode. Ok, on to the review.
This show manages to go back and forth between nonsensical and downright …

The Virginian: A Bride for Lars had a lot of good things going for this western outing, but it as fun as some moments were, there was a lot of just plain stupid, mainly in how the character of Trampas (Doug McClure) acted.
The basic setup for the 90 minutes …

From November 1966, this is the story of an escaped prisoner from the maximum security penal colony where the Enterprise is dropping off supplies. The prisoner is Dr. Simon Van Gelder (Morgan Woodward), and he has his own story to tell about his imprisonment, if anyone will believe …

While I love the That Girl series and am so glad that someone gifted me with it recently, I was disappointed in the That Girl - Season Four DVD set. Obviously, my let down wasn’t because of the episodes, which I was thrilled to see again for the …

From the Earth to the Moon - Part 12: Le Voyage Dans La Lune is the only segment not introduced by executive producer, Tom Hanks, in this HBO mini-series. Instead, the introduction is done by Blythe Danner. The reason for the switch is that this is the …

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Stagecoach would have been better with a little different mix of stagecoach passengers. Basically, Brisco is taking a prisoner to Mexico on a stagecoach on which there is a killer. The viewers learn this first, thanks to a scene with Socrates …

Alias Smith and Jones: The Girl in Boxcar #3 has some drama and poignancy to it, and while I enjoy it, it also is the first show that has Hannibal Heyes (Pete Duel) and Kid Curry (Ben Murphy) apart for much of the time. This serves to allow …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Symbiosis is one of the blander episodes from the first season and only a mildly interesting Prime Directive story. I also feel that the dialogue at times is a little awkward and forced, like during the conversation of Lt. Yar and Acting Ensign …

Of all the things I’ve seen Marge and Homer’s marriage have to survive in the almost two decades worth of Simpsons episodes, I never realized he almost lost her to a college professor; something that is revealed in the episode entitled “That 90s Show.”
The great thing about this episode …

Stargate SG-1: Death Knell is not a favorite. I don’t like it for a number of reasons. The show starts off with Sam and Jacob at the Alpha Site being sort of snippy with each other. Jacob claims they don’t talk anymore. This little tidbit …

The Twilight Zone: Still Valley is another one of the shows that I’ve never been all that crazy about. It’s a little spooky and weird, not in a scary way but just in its telling. It involves some black magic, and that’s not my thing either.
This is …

“Hunter’s Moon” is the 22nd episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. I was disappointed that this episode did not pick up where the last episode ended, since episode 21 ended with a cliffhanger. Instead, we are treated to a mission with Hawkgirl and two lesser …

While this is one of the few episodes of South Park I can’t play in front of my son, I still think it’s one of the best for it not only has the South Park humor, but tackles the idea of …

Every now and again, the writers of South Park come up with an idea so cheesy, and so pointless, that it turns out being fantastic. The idea to write an episode that would take place primarily in the world of warcraft may be a few years late, but it …

The first part of Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne shows the dedication, challenge, and determination that choir master Gareth Malone is faced with in achieving his current project. This three part series has Malone charged with putting together a teenage choir to perform at the Spring Festival at …

The Kids Are Alright, episode 601, opens in almost a way you’d expect this to the be last season because there is a montage at the beginning of the episode of all the characters. I love this show, but there are still parts of it that annoy me. …

Well, at least after watching the previous episode of Psych, which I didn’t feel was as good as others that I have seen from the series, I was able to watch one that was somewhat better; Shawn versus the Red Phantom.
When I saw the title, I wasn’t really sure …

It’s no secret I am in love with Ellen. But like i’ve said over and over again, not the Portia kinda love…But apparently, I’m not the only one. On a previous visit to the show, the Ellen Degeneres Talk Show that is, Mr. Chris Matthews himself proceeded to engage …
