From season four, Adam-12: The Grandmothers has a cute little side story that evolves from a crime at a small shop owned by an elderly woman. Florence Lake plays Mrs. Frieda Pine, the owner of the store. She’s spry and full of vinegar, as the saying goes. …

Season after season, NCIS attracts more audience because even the not-so-intellectual viewers like me, admire the right amount of science, action, comedy and drama every character contribute. Together, they blend well as one unit solving crimes with passion and support each other like family.

The second episode of Orchestra United was a little slow for me somehow. I can’t really put my finger on it, but there was something that didn’t keep me as hooked as I had been. Still, the hour long episode from the United Kingdom had some solid …

This episode was the 79th episode of the 90s American television series “The X-Files” and the sixth episode of the X-Files in season 4. It was one of my favorite episodes of the X-Files as I found it not to be scary but creepy and gruesome in a sense. …

“Your Home Sweet Home Is My Home” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode consists mainly of a flashback which takes the viewers back to a time when Rob and Laura, with the help of neighbors Jerry and Millie, were searching for a new home …

I think that this is the best soap opera to ever come out of the UK. I watched the very first episode in Feb 1985 when I was living in England, then I missed a number of years until I discovered UKTV on Foxtel Australia which has …

Stargate SG-1: Serpent’s Song is an interesting entry in the SG-1 second season. Peter Williams returns as Apophis, seeking asylum from the Tau’ri of all people. Unable to leave the injured Goa’uld behind, SG-1 brings him back to Earth. Then things really start to heat up, …

I finally got to see the entire Simpsons episode The Wife Aquatic last night. And, overall, I feel I wasn’t very impressed with it.
The plot of this episode started out promising. Marge wants to go to an island that presented plenty of childhood memories. But, when they get there, …

From March 1964, The Twilight Zone: The Masks is another show that I’m not that fond of. This last season of The Twilight Zone was full of sub par outings that had no real joy in watching them. This one actually isn’t as bad as the shows …

In Adam-12: Log 106: Post Time, Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) is worried about an upcoming handball match with another officer. We never find out what happened, but it makes for a quick, comic discussion. The recurring banter between Reed and veteran partner Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) …

I was flipping through the channels the other day on the television set and I just had to stop and take a second look because I was sure that I was seeing things. Two girls were ripping at each other’s hair; one pulled a big hairball off of …

What I’ve always remembered about The Twilight Zone: Mirror Image is that it scared me to death as a kid. I found it to be one of the most frightening Twilight Zones. All grown up now, it still gives me a huge case of the creeps. …

If you read any of my reviews about Seven days, where I am always saying that the show is very simple and predictable maybe this sentence will shock you: I am sorry it ended. Yeah, that’s true I really am. Not because of this episode, I mean, CERTAINLY not …

Love it, love it, love it! That’s how I describe my feelings towards Stargate SG-1: Spirits. This second season episode doesn’t get a lot of acclaim, but it’s been a hit with me from the first time I saw it.
The opening scene catches us off guard with …

I’m home early today and I’m watching an episode of Green Acres “Parity Begins at Home.”
This is one of those episodes that focuses on Mr.Douglas’ efforts to make changes in his farming community, whether or not they are right or wrong. In this case, he wants to plant his …

Due South: Mountie and Soul doesn’t begin promisingly for me. I don’t like boxing, and the story begins with Fraser, the Vecchio replacement, and Francesca at a boxing ring. Too much of these stories are being focused on this newcomer, Callum Keith Rennie, as the Vecchio replacement …

“Yankee White” was the first real premiere of the show NCIS. While NCIS was introduced in two spin off episodes of “Jag” entitled “Ice Queen” and “Meltdown,” this was the first time viewers got to see the actors and the show flying solo.
When this episode began, there were …

Beast Wars - Go With the Flow is a third season episode that feels very much like a season one episode. By that, I mean, there is more focus on comedy and humor than there is on the story or the characters. It is most definitely the most lighthearted …

The Twilight Zone: Execution is not an episode I enjoy all that much, and that is despite the fact that I tend to enjoy time travel stories. The setup is that a modern day scientist decides to test out his new gadget and ends up bringing an outlaw …

This entertaining enough parody of the horror movie Poltergeist proves to be a solid episode from the forth season.
It’s a pretty affectionate spoof, with Stewie stepping into the shoes of Carol Anne and effeminate Bruce popping up in a role influenced by Zelda Rubenstein’s diminutive medium. After a …

It’s Reyes who’s …

This is an amazing show that first aired in Australia, then its popularity caused it to expand to the UK and the US in mid 2007. The show is about three normal teenage girls in Australia who, through a miraculous event during the full moon in a water …

I wish I liked Burn Notice more as a series. It has a lot to offer, but most of the time, it fails to keep me hooked. I begin multi-tasking, even when I don’t mean to. While there have been a few I really like, most of …

If I wanted to cheer for a bully, I’d visit a street corner on skid row and watch bad boys beat up on helpless derelicts, at least I could feel that they were “conflicted” jerks.
I don’t know if I’m more pissed at the dysfunctional guests or Steve Wilkos …

You know, as unintelligent as Bart is supposed to be on The Simpsons, you really do have to admire his ability to improvise when the pressures on.
The episode “Bart the Genius” is a great example of this.
Bart doesn’t want to fail his intelligence test so he manages to switch …

Friends Episode: Chandler Gets Busted is a very funny episode involving Chandler. You guys should watch this episode if you guys have not because it stars Julia Roberts and with her very lustrous and gorgeous red hair, she looks extremely beautiful. She ticked Chandler into ‘making out’ in …

This episode of Highway Patrol entitled Phony Cop is actually very reminiscent of an earlier show where a man pretended to be a member of the California Highway Patrol. In that outing, the man was working with a woman who helped to set up the various robberies. …

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 …

I think The Parkers is an OK TV show. Sometimes they show was funny, but I was annoyed by it at times. I really think this show was not written very well. The main plot of the show was Monique the fat woman trying to hook up with the professor. …

A Certain Justice - Part 2 was a bit slower for me than part 1 was. This story is from the P.D. James novel and uses the familiar character of Commander Adam Dalgliesh. As an American, I assume commander is a detective. That seemed to be …

CSI NY is a crime scene investigation series based in New York. It is made by the same people as CSI Las Vegas and CSI Miami, and the main actors from both of the other series have been in New York on different occasions.
One of the things I …

Out of boredom recently, I noticed that the entire first season of The Cleaner was available ‘on demand’ of my cable company. I’ve never watched the show,nor had any real inclination to turn it on, but I have seen the advertising about the start of its upcoming second …

The Ghostbusters battle Cthulu, really do I need to say anymore? That alone makes the episode a win and, to wit, it was amazing to boot. Seriously, there is nothing to complain about. There was humor, the Lovecraft mythos gets a nice little love letter, and …

Flavor Flavs house of love is one of my favorite shows. The show featurs former rapper Flavor Flav who is now in his 40s and looking for love. Twenty women went on this show and are all fighting it out for his affection. Simple enough. Except in my opinion …

I was very pleased that Death of an Expert Witness - Part 4 was much better than Part 3. The pace was better and the scenes more intriguing.
One of the neat things about this P.D. James television adaptation is that we get to hear the recently promoted Chief …

I’ve been a fan of the sitcom Wings for years now, though I don’t think I ever watched the show when it was actually brand new. Instead I was one of the people who ended up watching it when it was shown on USA during its syndication years. Every …
