Night Gallery was Rod Serling’s follow up to The Twilight Zone. While not as good, it sometimes has some very interesting tales. At other times, the stories are just so so.
The first story, The Diary, is in the middle of the road. It stars one of …

Well, that wasn’t the funniest episode of Scrubs I’ve seen since I started watching the show again, but My First Kill turned out to be an OK episode.

I really enjoyed Have Gun - Will Travel: The High Graders, especially the opening which had Paladin (Richard Boone) being measured for a new suit. It’s the dichotomy between this civilized, wealthy, society persona of San Francisco’s paladin and the gunfighter for hire who wears a black trail …

To me, the plot behind Have Gun - Will Travel: Duel at Florence is dang silliness, not that it doesn’t exist, even today, but it sure does point out how self-involved people can be. At the center of the whirlwind is a young woman who has three suitors. …

If TV shows were food, then Medium would be my comfort food-the pizza or the ice cream or the well buttered popcorn. Medium tells the story of a woman- a wife and a stay at home mom to three girls, who had decided to come work for the state …

I really like watching Entertainment Tonight, I always have. The show takes a look at what’s going on in the entertainment industry, form what the stars are wearing to where they live. The show also profiles new movies that are coming out, and recaps gossip from behind the scenes …

I’m usually a fan of the show Family Guy. But, some episodes just aren’t very funny. The episode entitled Padre de Familia is a good example of it.
Ths one explores the whole illegal immigrant thing and Peter discovers he’s not a US citizen (he was born in Mexico and …

The television show Bones has a new take on crime drama.
At first I wasn’t too interested in the show. I had thought there were already many crime drama series around and Bones was just another one. Also the premise of discovering who committed a crime by examining …

My mother told me about this show and suggested that I watch it. The concept of a woman giving birth to sextuplets is fascinating in and of itself. Giving birth to more than four babies at once is fascinating. But this show takes things …

I think Family Guy is a great show because it offers mindless animated comedy on the surface, and thoughtful cultural satire upon deeper inspection. I can enjoy an episode of Family Guy whether I’m in the mood for witty, clever commentary or simply wicked slapstick humor.
My …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Great Mojave Chase, episode 3 of season 1, starts out with some fun humor, all stemming from Paladine buying a camel to take across the Mojave Desert. It creates quite a stir. Written by Gene Roddenberry, the best part was the …

A character I haven’t talked about yet who …

I like the show Ghost Hunters but the episode Tombstone is one of those episodes that has enough bad camera angles and too many assumptions to sometimes make me have doubts about TAPS credibility.
The team investigated the Bird Cage Theater in Tombstone Arizona, which is definitely a historic place. …

Last night was the first time I had a chance to watch the Futurama episode “Love’s Labours Lost in Space.” And, for the most part, it wasn’t terrible.
Basically, the Planet Express team is sent on a tax deductible charity mission to rescue animals from a planet that is about …

Desperate housewives is a show created by Marc Cherry. He was inspired by the women in his life.

For no other reason than me wanting something to watch until Ghost Hunters came on, I decided to watch another rerun of the show Bones. This time, it happened to be one I have seen a couple of times before; The Santa in the Slush.
I’m still a bit confused …

The new TNT medical show heartland is far from a show that gets to the heart. The star Treat Williams who always plays a murderer in shows is great playing a murderer, but when it comes to playing a doctor he is so unconvincing. You never see …

Sea Hunt: Point of No Return , the opening show of the series’ fourth and final TV season which aired in January 1961, was a bit different. That was mostly a good thing. However, it was also a little confusing in a couple of spots.
The reason the …

I got the first season of the show Monk for Christmas and finally got a chance to watch the very first episode again; Mr. Monk and the Candidate. This is a fantastic episode.
Even though I do wish they would have spent a bit more time talking about the death …

I was very sad to see Malcolm in the Middle get cancelled. It was one of my favorite shows and I could relate so well to that family. They are hard-working blue collar family, just like mine was when I was growing up, so I can totally understand most …

Odd becomes odder when Truman Capote was the subject of a celebrity roast on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Capote was eccentric, that’s for sure, so he was easy to make fun of.

This episode was really interesting. …

While it’s always fun to watch the office sometimes the individual episodes of the show can blend together. Casino Night is not one of those episodes.

In …

Stargate SG-1: The Changeling is the second really good episode of the sixth season of SG-1, and for good reason — Michael Shanks guest stars. Of course, by now, it was pretty obvious the man would be back as a regular. It was just a matter of time.
This …

How on earth did some of the discussion on the Golden Girls manage to sneak by the censors? Maybe it was because the show featured four acclaimed actresses then in their golden years so the innuendo and raunchiness snuck by them or immobilized them completely. All I know is …

I enjoy every episode of House not because of the medical part of the show but because of all the others. Now, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the medical part of the show, but there is nothing truly extraordinary about that. It is the characters that make the …

I love the show What Not to Wear. At first, I thought the stylists, Clinton Kelly and Stacy London were mean and too harsh. They really tell the person what they look like and what’s wrong with what they look like. They use creative language to …

Blacke’s Magic: Death Goes to the Movies is a fun entry in my opinion. I like it because the theme is the movie industry, which I’m interested in. In the beginning, magician Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) is helping a movie company to stage an important part of …

While the concept of The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest has its humorous elements, at the same time it’s a bit strange. The strangeness is not because of the contest happening, but the makeup of the contestants. There’s no guideline. Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) ends …

I’ve never really been the type of person to watch television soap operas, since I’ve never had much interest in them. I can remember specifically that back when I was in high school there was a group of girls who would watch these series and then talk about them …

I recently finished watching the first season of Avatar the Last Airbender. Each season of Avatar is referred to as a Book and each episode is called a chapter. Thus, the first season is called Book One: Water.
I think Avatar is a great show. At first I thought …

Wipeout is not a show that jumped out at me by just seeing the commercials. In fact, the only reason I began watching this show is because I randomly stopped on it while channel surfing.
Wipeout is a reality game show that puts contestants through four rounds of obstacle …
