NCIS: Missing
Two of my favorite NCIS episodes back to back. We go from “Dead Man Talking,” to “Missing,” which was a wonderful episode.
This case was full of twists and turns…the kind that makes NCIS the number one drama on television today. A navy man goes missing and it …

The X-Files The Calusari Episode

South Park TV Episode: Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy

Sea Hunt: The Aquanettes TV Show
The 12th outing for the underwater adventure series Sea Hunt was called The Aquanettes, and one thing I loved about it is that it was mostly under the water. Those are always such intriguing episodes.

Pokemon (TV Show) - Showdown in Pewter City (Episode)
“Showdown in Pewter City” is the fifth episode of the “Pokemon” series and it features Ash’s first gym battle as well as the introduction of Brock Slate, the gym leader of Pewter City. I like this episode a lot, and not because of the gym battle, either. The gym …

Outsourced: Pilot TV Show
Outsourced, the pilot, is a show I watched along with a bunch of other new Fall 2010 TV comedies just to see if I have misjudged the current style of comedy. You see, I prefer the classics, like The Andy Griffith Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show. …
Laramie: The Fatal Step TV Show
In Laramie: The Fatal Step, there is another strong guest cast to go along with the excellent partnership of John Smith and Robert Fuller as friends and co-workers, Slim Sherman and Jess Harper, respectively. I am just always amazed at the strong acting that was scene in this …
The Twilight Zone: The Bard TV Show
From May 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Bard is not a show that I like very much. It never captures my interest or draws me into any part of the story. Usually when this episode pops up on television, I change the channel or even turn the …

John Doe: Shock to the System TV show

From the Earth to the Moon - Part 9: For Miles and Miles
It’s funny to me that my least favorite parts of From the Earth to the Moon all air close together. Part 6, Part 8, and now Part 9 are the three that are not on my favorites list. This would be my third least favorite outing, and …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Veldt TV Show

The Virginian: The Long Quest TV show

Star Trek: That Which Survives TV Show
