Finally, we get a season four episode with Pete Thornton and the Phoenix Foundation. In MacGyver: On a Wing and a Prayer, Pete and a nun have been kidnapped in Barraca from some rebels. With the government bogged down in politics, MacGyver does something he never thought …

I was only able to watch a few episodes of the American television reality series “America’s Got Talent”. However, because I was busy for some time I eventually forgot about it and remembered about it again when the season was then over. Nevertheless, I can still recall enough about …

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is a late night show. This show usually comes on the same time Conan does, well I guess it would be the Jimmy Fallon show now. I love Craig Ferguson since the first time I caught his show. He doesn’t always have …

The Amazing Race is one of my favourite shows. It’s a yearly series on CTV, Wednesdays at 7 pm central time. This season, teams have to travel across the world and follow the directions precisely to each task that they do. The winners at the end of the race …

Not a favorite, The Twilight Zone: Long Distance Call is an eerie episode about an egotistic, possessive grandmother who believes she lost her son to his wife and who has every intention of taking her beloved grandson with her to the grave. There’s no love there; that’s perverted.
Before …

A.J. Cook’s swan song is this second episode of the new season, Criminal Minds: JJ. A lot of fans are angry to see this show come to fruition. Cook was fired during the hiatus in a supposed downsizing move. Paget Brewster came close to suffering the …

Remember Friends Episode: Phoebe and Ursula Buffay? Yes, these are twins and it is quite a unique idea for the writers to cast Phoebe having an ‘evil’ twin sister which is acted out by the same Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) and the dialogs are really spot-on, witty and really irritatingly …

I had the house to myself at lunch today and, as I ended up doing yesterday, I decided to ride the exercise bike that has been collecting dust in a corner of our living room (except for the parts being used as a coat rack) while watching an episode …

It is summer time, and the heat is unbearable. Bart and Lisa pester Homer into buying a pool, which Homer willingly agrees. Because of the pool, the entire town’s kid’s come over to their place to swim. So Bart and Lisa’s popularity soars. However while performing one stunt Bart …

Synopsis: Plankton, tired of always failing in his attempts to get a Krabby Patty, wishes he could spend just a day in Mr. Krab’s shoes just to see what it was like and uses an invention of his to do just that.
What I liked about this episode: This is …

One of the things I like about That Girl is that they celebrate a lot of the holidays, or at least acknowledge them. Some shows may do Christmas, but that’s about it, so this is quite nice. The occasion here is New Year’s Eve, and to welcome …

The fourth episode of the six part documentary, Monty Python: Almost the Truth - The Lawyers Cut, is focused mostly on their movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The documentary program is referred to as The Ultimate Holy Grail Episode.
Now frankly, I’ve never seen this movie, mainly …

This week’s Monk episode “Mr. Monk Takes a Punch” actually wasn’t too bad compared to some of the lesser quality episodes that have been on television recently. It was a good mix of comedy and mystery and I think I actually enjoyed it.
This episode has Monk trying to track …

One day while at work at the Krusty Krab, Squidward makes a comment to Spongebob that wasn’t really funny but Spongebob laughs histarically. It wasn’t the funniest thing ever, but he just really likes to laugh a lot. Squidward tries to get him to be quiet by telling him …

Death Note Episode 19 begins with Masuda feeling irritated that no one takes him seriously on the Kira case and he decides to investigate Yatsuba, the company suspected of working with Kira, on his own under the guise of being Misa Amane’s manager.
This episode was very clever, because …

The episode starts in a really interesting way, not because of the event that takes place but what’s interesting is the dialogue between the 2 protagonists. This is the first episode of this show and the producers want us to remember the names of the characters so as they …

I finally got an opportunity to watch the show Lie to Me last night. I’ll confess, coming in on a series in the middle of it, really did create some confusion for me as to who the characters were. But, from what I can tell, the show is definitely …

Reba Season 2 is one of those seasons where you can tell a show is struggling and trying to figure out where it’s going to go next. I was a big fan of the first season, but the second season was a little different and everyone seemed to grow …

Blacke’s Magic: Breathing Room is the pilot outing for this dramatic program centering around magician, Alexander Blacke. Blacke is played by the affable Hal Linden, who brings sparkle and intrigue to the role. This magician almost died after a trick went wrong, so he decides to retire, …

The Twilight Zone: In His Image is just one of those weird outings for this series that I just have to accept. It’s not shown that often I don’t think because it’s not as fresh in my mind as most episodes of The Twilight Zone are. I’ve …

The Fall Guy: Goin’ for It gives us a different type of opening for the adventure drama, and that’s probably a good thing. Changing up a format occasionally keeps viewers on the edge, not certain what to expect. Not only did they change what was usual, but …

From 1959, Highway Patrol: Women Escapees is the 32nd show of the fourth season, which means it was one of the last of this series which starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as Sergeant Ken Williams. This show was a tad different in that …

Well, I finally had a chance to watch a Home Improvement episode while home at lunch (I got home in time, in other words, because the traffic wasn’t quite as bad as it normally is). I ended up seeing the one entitled Tool Man Delivers.
This one is actually kind …

The Snorks is a television show that ran from 1986-1989. It is a cartoon that was the major competitor to the popular Smurfs. The Smurfs, a show that was very popular in the 1980s, featured a race of small people who lived in a forest of mushrooms in the …

Burn Notice: Scatter Point from season two is the first non-Michael Shanks episode that I can say I really enjoyed. It had me pretty much from the beginning when Michael and Fiona were trying to find Carla’s hangout. There was a funny bit with a pizza delivery …

Dean Jagger is the power behind The Twilight Zone: Static. He’s an older gentleman, living in a boarding house where his old girlfriend and other old friends live. He becomes disenchanted with television and the tripe he perceives the movies, shows, and commercials to be. That …

Rush is an Australian TV series set in Melbourne, Australia. I follow this series religiously because it is an eye-opener in terms of the differences between the police in the US and Australia. The accent is a bit difficult to follow, but after a while, you begin to understand …

The Twilight Zone: Four O’Clock isn’t my style. It’s show that has a theme about prejudice and it’s just nasty. Theodore Bikel stars as a man who only sees the bad in people. He goes around calling schools and employers, telling them that so and so …

I’m not sure, but I think The Fall Guy: The Japanese Connection would have been better called The Hawaiian Connection. This is the show starring Lee Majors, who plays a stunt man named Colt Seavers whose side job is working as a bounty hunter. Most episodes start …

Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 1 begins with two siblings Katarra and Sokka out on the ice, fishing. They become trapped on an iceberg. They find a boy named Aang after they see him break out of an iceberg. They discover he is the Avatar, a …

I gave the Showtime series “Dead Like Me” a chance one day. I liked the concept—that a young lady would be selected to lead other souls to “wherever.” The pilot episode featured a young 21 year-old girl named George Lass. I found this name a …

Interested in the paranormal? Are you a skeptic when it comes to ghosts? Are you looking for documented proof of an afterlife? If you have not yet watched Ghost Hunters, this show is for you.
Ghost Hunters was created by two men–Grant Wilson and Jason Hawes. …

MacGyver: Walking Dead is definitely not a favorite of mine. In fact, I really don’t like much about it at all. In this show from season seven, a section of the neighborhood where Mac lives is called Little Haiti. The problem is that outcasts from Haiti are …

Diagnosis Murder: A Blast from the Past begins with Steve Sloan (Barry Van Dyke) getting a friendly threat from Eddie Gault, who he’d sent to prison and is now out on parole. When Gault threatens not just Steve, but Steve’s father, Dr. Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke), Steve …

There’s a small problem with the continuity of That Girl: Fly by Night in terms of Ann flying. She acts petrified from the beginning, but she’s been on planes to California at least twice and to Las Vegas, which was just this season. She also went …

In 1982’s Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Dreams, Cameron Mitchell guest stars as Ben Shepherd, who works for the lumber company. Brian (Drake Hogestyn) decides he wants to learn that business and takes a break from the ranch for a while.
The merits of the show aside, there was …

I had a really hard time getting through this episode of The Ray Bradbury Theater. The episode title is The Tombstone, which aired originally in October 1992. The half hour tale starred Shelley Duvall as Leota Bean. I’ve never been much of a fan, though …

Boston Legal stars James Spader and William Shatner
This show could have easily been another dull lawyer show but these two actors and the weekly introduction of weird characters make this a comedy hit. I remember The Practice and seeing James Spader introduced to that cast list. …

The Best of the Danny Kaye Show DVD is a really great opportunity to see just a hint of how wonderful Danny Kaye was as a performer. Kaye had a series that lasted for a few seasons in the mid 1960’s. I remember reading some years ago …

Strange, weird, and nonsensical. That’s how I’d describe The Prisoner: The Girl Who Was Death, which has Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) mysteriously back in London and tracking down a scientist being protected by his strange daughter. There’s no explanation for the opening of the story. It …

I think that Doogie Howser M.D. is one of the coolest old TV shows I saw growing up as a kid. This show was alway really funny. I think it was really cool how Doogie Howser was so smart even though he was so young. I mean he used …

I remember seeing the episode of Mork & Mindy “Mork Runs Down” when I was a kid (and before this was a show in re-runs) but didn’t remember a whole lot about the episode until seeing it again today.
While not a great episode, it still was good enough to …

In the revised pilot for the That Girl comedy series, struggling actress Ann Marie meets magazine writer Don Hollinger. From that meeting comes a highly successful, humorous, and thoughtful comedy that thrilled millions for five seasons.
Played by Marlo Thomas, the daughter of Danny Thomas, Ann Marie is an …

The second season seems to be proving itself as a worthy successor to the first so far. Corey Haim takes a big step in the right direction by making apologies to everyone he’s ever worked with or known that he’s burnt bridges with. He does this by putting a …

A Senator who promoted equal rights for all got killed by a bomb set off by Ameri-bomber. No one knows who that bomber is. Parker is playing online poker with some girls when Ramsey arrives to his room with an impulse suppressor. I think that this is really too …

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: The Millionaire’s Life aired originally in March 1980 and was the detective show’s fifth outing. By now, we’re pretty comfortable in the unique relationship that is building between Lionel Whitney (Jeff Goldblum) and sometimes con man, E.L. ‘Tenspeed’ Turner (Ben Vereen).
This episode actually shows …

Fireball XL5: The Sun Temple aired in December 1962 for the first time, bringing us another adventure for Colonel Steve Zodiac and his XL5 crew.
One of the fun things about this episode is that Zoonie gets to go on XL5 and Venus tries to teach him more words. …

Black Gold, the show that airs on TruTV and follows the work crews of Big Dog Oil Rig 28, continued its third season with this sixth week episode that was a lot of yelling and shouting, combined with a tad of personal emotion.
One of the hot heads, Cheston, is …

This episode is a little too confusing for me. Is he a nice guy? A villain? Just who is this Lazarus man? That’s the premise of the show, I suspect. However, I missed Part 1, so the setup of this drama from the late …

I really want to be a fan of CSI: New York, and in fact I did watch it regularly in the beginning, but somehow, I just didn’t get into the habit of watching every week. So, I’ve seen sporadic episodes only. One thing that I know is …
