Highway Patrol: Double Cross TV Show
Toward the end of its second season, Highway Patrol presented an episode entitled Double Cross. It begins with a robbery and an old fashioned double cross that results in one of the robbers being murdered by the other. It’s not long before Chief Dan Mathews (Broderick Crawford) …
Max Headroom: Rakers TV show
Max Headroom: Rakers from April 1987 starts out with some curious dramatic angst when controller Theora Jones (Amanda Pays) can’t be found, causing Edison Carter (Matt Frewer) to become concerned. While others suggest he just not worry about her and hire a new assistant, Edison refuses and tracks …
TV Series: CSI
I began watching the tv series “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” in it’s first season. I loved the show immediately, and have become an avid follower of the series.
My favorite thing about the series is the creativity. The cases all have such different circumstances, the writers tell the story beautifully. …
Stargate SG-1: Dominion
Dominion is the second to the last episode of Stargate SG-1 and frankly, it bored me stiff. I don’t like the Ori, don’t care about Adria, don’t like Ba’al, and am just extremely frustrated by Daniel not being Daniel, not to mention all the times he’s been put …
Mr. Monk is at Your Service
Today was the first time I’ve seen the Monk episode “Mr. Monk is at Your Service” and thought it was one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen recently.
This episode has Monk going undercover as a butler (or as he refers to it, a house manager) because Natalie suspects the …
Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne: Part 3 TV Show
Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne: Part 3 begins in February, 3 weeks before Malone’s opera chorus of teenagers has to go on stage and perform in a new opera called Knight Crew. The show opens with the chorus setting foot on the actual performing stage for the first …
Days of Our Lives - Alice Horton’s Demise Week 4 TV Show
Days of Our Lives presented what turned out to be a month’s worth of drama and farewell to their beloved Alice Horton, as played by the late Frances Reid. This is unprecedented in daytime drama. Never before has a soap gone to this extent to celebrate a …
Fat Albert TV Episode: Tomboy
I recently introduced my daughter to the 1970s cartoon show Fat Albert and she has been watching episodes of it (on DVD) every day since.
I haven’t seen the show in ages and finally got a chance to sit down with her yesterday to watch a couple episodes. One of …
Stargate SG1: The Powers That Be
This episode begins with Vala irritating Mitchell instead of Daniel. Seems she has stolen a case file and has found that a Prior has visited a planet that she knows very well. She tells Cam they have to go there and talk the people out of joining …
House, M.D (TV series)
Of all the medical dramas around on TV in recent years, House, M.D. has got to be one of my favorites. I came across this series in its first season, and have been a fairly regular viewer ever since.
The writing of House is some of the smartest writing …
One Tree Hill
I love the show One Tree Hill. It has been a favorite of mine since the first show started. I own seasons one and two on DVD. If I ever have some extra money I will buy the next seasons on DVD. I love all of the characters and …
The Twilight Zone: A Game of Pool TV Show
The Twilight Zone: A Game of Pool is another show I just don’t like watching. It’s a two-person episode from the third season and though the acting is good, I don’t care about the story. It can really be summed up by saying that it’s another one …
Laramie: The Long Riders
Laramie: The Long Riders is one of my all time favorite shows from this high quality western series. It’s from season two and guest stars Dan Duryea as Luke Gregg. Robert Crawford Jr. also appears as Andy Sherman, home for a while on break from attending …
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
The television, cartoon version of Santa Claus is Coming to town is my personal favorite of all of the Christmas, holiday special shows.
I like to watch this particular show year after year.
This is where Kris Kringle comes to town to give presents to all the children, only to find …
War and Remembrance: A Living History TV Show
War and Remembrance: A Living History aired a couple of weeks prior to the showing of War and Remembrance, the massive mini-series which continued the story of the Henry family from The Winds of War.
A Living History is narrated by Robert Mitchum which is interesting because I recall that …
Stargate SG-1: Chimera
Stargate SG-1: Chimera brings about a lot of surprises for fans of the series. The first one is that Daniel suddenly owns a home. This has come out of nowhere. For seven years, he’d had an apartment and, bam, now he has a house.
The second is …
Friends Episode: Rachel Has A Baby
Friends Episode: Rachel Has A Baby is a very cute and funny one. I like it very much and especially when the 4 friends, minus Ross, since he is in with Rachel and giving motivation to deliver the baby. So back to the story and the 4 of …
Tila Tequila
Tila Tequila is a reality show which has now had two seasons. Warning: Spoilers; The first season bobby won, but he could not deal with her fame, so they had to let it go. The second season, she chose Kristy, who then did not want her, so instead of …
The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street TV Show
I don’t like watching The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, not because the show is bad, but because it’s so accurate. The show is very well done and has some very believable acting within it. I just hate seeing the harshness of man …
Trigun Episode 21
Trigun Episode 21 begins in a Project Seeds ship that didn’t quite crash over 100 years ago, the Gung-Ho Guns have invaded, intent on destroying the ship’s residents, who are acquaintances of Vash. Vash and Wolfwood try to stop them and have to face three of the Gung-Ho …
Psych: An Evening with Mr. Yang
Last night’s Psych season finale “An Evening with Mr. Yang” was somewhat interesting but yet a disappointment at the same time.
I liked the idea of a super-genius serial killer taking on Shawn one-on-one and leaving clues for him to solve to save the life of a waitress and then …
Trading Spouses
I find the TV reality show Trading Spouses truly awesome. Actually, I have a very bad impression of the show when I initially started watching, but after some time, I’ve gotten the message of the show and noticing how some families featured are indeed having a bigger problem issue …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 14: Journey’s End
The two part finale wraps up as the team tries to stop the Daleks’ nefarious plan. Where the last episode had a lot of epic goings on with little room for character moments, this one is oddly quieter. It’s still heavy, but not in the same sense …
Doctor Who: Season 3, episode 3: Gridlock
When I read the general synopsis of this episode, I didn’t think it would work out that well. The idea of a gigantic traffic jam isn’t a bad one, but it doesn’t exactly scream excitement. As it turns out, this episode managed to turn me around and …
Celebrity Apprentice - 2009 Episode 1
The Donald is back again for another season of Celebrity Apprentice, and it promises to be equally as weird as the first year, only this year, the women are made up of a lot of females I’ve never heard of, versus just a few of those last year.
When I …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jack Klugman TV Show
Again from the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas, The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast honored another celebrity, that being Jack Klugman who starred in The Odd Couple and later Quincy M.E.
Overall, I was disappointed with this outing for the roast show. I didn’t feel like there was much of …
Celebrity Ghost Stories (TV series)
I generally find some reality television series about supposed real life hauntings to be addictive. For example, I loved watching the television series “Ghost Hunters” when my time wasn’t so limited and when it would air regularly on the cable television channel Syfy. I also liked watching series such …
MacGyver: Dalton, Jack of Spies
Oh how I wish MacGyver: Dalton, Jack of Spies had just never been done. When we last saw Jack Dalton, he was flying away to his heroic death. Mac had that warm look of friendship on his face as he watched. Now, though, Jack is back, …
Air Wolf
Air Wolf is a very cool TV show that is about a really fast chopper that can fly faster than the speed of sound. That chopper is called Air Wolf. It’s the story of a chopper who also has really high tech weapons like mini misseles and machine guns. The …
Eureka Seven episode 48
As the world holds its breath in the final hours, the gecko state and the Super Izumo rushes into battle preparing to prevent the end of the world. This is Eureka Seven: Psalms of the planets episode 48 “Ballet Mechanique”, a episode focused solely on Anemone in the End …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 24: Our Town
This episode is a letdown, really that’s all there is to it. Between the fact that it follows up the extra-ordinary “Soft Light” and comes right before the season finale, you’d think that this would be a big episode. Sadly, the opposite holds true and the whole …
Dead Like Me
“Dead Like Me” was a Showtime original series which used to air on the cable television channel “Showtime” when I was still in high school. Like all the Showtime original series the plot was quite different from what many television shows going on at the time; hence I think …
American Idol - Week 1 Results Show
The American Idol - Week 1 Results Show had some nice moments in it, along with a few things that just aren’t my style. On the latter side was a performance by Kanye West. I just don’t like the guy. He has a prima dona attitude …
Diagnosis Murder: Broadcast Blues TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Broadcast Blues shows us a part of Community General Hospital that we don’t normally see. It’s all a setup for the arrival of a dangerous patient that Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) has agreed to take on, though hospital administrator Norman Briggs (Michael Tucci) isn’t all …
Bill Nye the Science Guy Disney Show

There was this time I was taking care of …
TV Show: Late Show with David Letterman
Synopsis: Late night talk show starring comedian David Letterman as the host; mixing comedy with musical performances and interviews with special guests.
What I liked about this show: I used to watch this show religiously when I was younger but haven’t watched it in a long time. In fact, the …
BBC’s Sherlock Special- The Abominable Bride
So the Christmas special episode of the series Sherlock has been dominating the internet since its outbreak. Sherlock is the modern adaptation of the book Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the 1800s and the series’ Sherlock Holmes is no other than Benedict Cumberbatch who really became more …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.1 - Showdown
The start of the second season takes a more realistic approach to the show compared to the first season’s seemingly scripted and light-hearted attitude towards everything. It’s six months after the first season and the two Coreys haven’t spoken to each other up until now. This episode begins with …
Hogan’s Heroes: Crittendon’s Commandos
I was able to watch two episodes of Hogan’s Heroes at lunch today, including one that was kind of funny; Crittendon’s Commandos.
This one had the return of Col. Crittendon, who I last saw in an episode where he didn’t know the POW camp Hogan and his men were stationed …

ABC’s 25 Days of Christmas
Perhaps I’m going crazy, but at the beginning of December I remember seeing ABC advertising like crazy how they were going to be having Christmas shows every day of the month until Christmas. And then, after the first couple of days I keep watching them every day for …

Living Single show
Sometimes when I watch television, which is rare now of days when I have the internet for that, I like to see shows that they just don’t put on TV anymore. Living Single is definitely one of those shows that makes me feel nostalgic, like I just wish there …
Spartacus:Blood and Sand
The new TV series, Spartacus: Blood and Sand is a TV series that can be seen on the STARZ channel. However, a couple of the first episodes have been leaked and let me assure you, they do not disappoint. There has been a ton of blood, sex, and violence …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Lazarus TV Show
One of the shows presented during Have Gun - Will Travel’s fifth season on the air was entitled simply, Lazarus. It’s actually an appropriate title, based on what happens to the main guest character, Boise Peabody. Boise is a colorful character, played by Strother Martin.
Richard Boone, however, …
Soul Train television show (1970s version)
One of my parents’ favourite television shows in the seventies, was a show called “Soul Train”. I heard them talking about the show from time to time over the years, but never actually got a chance to view it for myself until one Saturday years ago, when a certain …
Knuffle Bunny
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 …
