Cuba Gooding Jr. stands out in this fourth season episode of MacGyver called The Challenge. Of note off the top is that the show was directed by Dana Elcar, who doesn’t appear in the episode. Elcar did an outstanding job with this show. Not only did …

When it comes to classic TV, one of the best is “The Andy Griffith Show”, or TAGS as frequent internet watchers refer to it. When it comes to best episodes of TAGS, few would argue that “Citizen’s Arrest” is right up there at the top.
This episode has classic …

Irma Levine sought the help of Alan Shore. Irma is complaining that her vote does not count due to redistricting. All of her elected officials are redrawing the district voting lines to tilt the election in their favor. In her attempt to voice out her political agenda, Irma joined …

In my last review for the episode called Ethon of Stargate SG-1, I mentioned that one of the reasons that shows in the final two seasons of the series were poor was because of the lack of attention to SG-1 as a result of the powers that be working …

The fourth season of Stargate SG-1 begins with Small Victories, which concludes the action begun at the end of the third season in Nemesis.
The opening is quite fascinating. It’s a sequence that takes place on a Russian submarine, a real one, and the two actors speaking the lines …

Joss Whedon is one of those love him or hate him writers. I like him. I enjoyed Buffy and Angel, although I did find them to be a bit overpraised. Such is the case with a lot of things in geek culture.
One show in …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Ella West starts a little differently with Paladin (Richard Boone) arriving in Abilene, so we don’t get the normal San Francisco beginning. Variety is good, though, so it’s nice to get a shake up in the opening scene. That doesn’t necessarily mean …

This is the fourth season finale. I found this episode to be really sad. In this episode Alison is contacted by a lawyer who wants her to go to his house and calm down his wife. She had really loved that house and he went through a lot of trouble …

In 1966, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Death Ship aired. It was the 22nd show of the second season. Like always, this science fiction show starred Richard Basehart and David Hedison. It also included one of its larger guest casts in which those …

OK, two questions. First of all, I thought Law & Order SVU was supposed to be about sex crimes and, secondly, is this the month we feature each of Stabler’s kids?
The episode “Lunacy” was actually one of the worst episodes of this series I’ve seen. OK, you have a …

I instantly became a fan of this TV reality show the first time I watched it in Discovery Travel and Living. I’m not into tattoos but now I want to get one. But I want someone from Miami Ink to do the tattooing. This show chronicles the personal and …

On the A & E network, there is a really interesting program called “Intervention” on Monday nights. The premise of the show is to have families that have someone who has fallen prey to addiction of one sort or another, gather together and plan an intervention with the …

Kojak himself, Telly Savalas, was roasted by a dais of entertainers on this outing of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was filmed in Las Vegas. The Man of the Hour took his seat while being honored, zinger style, by those on the dais. Now those on …

There are quite a few episodes whereby we see the Friends cast imitating Chandler Bing. He is one of the most weird and quirkiest of Friends’ cast character yet, and he is so charmingly sweet. And also the fact that Monica always is wanting to give him ‘face’ …

Every time I watch Big Bang Theory I like it more. This is a smart show which manages to be almost constantly funny. In this episode Sheldon needs to find a ride because Leonard is working nights for a couple weeks.
Sheldon is almost always funny, but watching him in …

Stargate SG-1: Origin is really the third part of the Avalon 1 and 2 opening episodes of the ninth season, but for some reason they used a different name.
I’ll say upfront that the only thing I really like about this show is at the end because Richard Dean Anderson …

Geena Davis was born to play the US President in ‘Commander in Chief’. Apart from maybe Thelma in ‘Thelma and Louise’, this is the best role she’s ever had. I’m not normally a fan of political programmes, but this one is accessible and understandable for the viewer, …

The Middle is a new show on ABC this fall. At the time of this writing, there have been six episodes shown. I have seen every one so far - some multiple times - so I think I have a good enough idea to write this review so far.
The …

I am using t-2 for my tv for last 3 motnhs. This is Slovenian TV provider, to be clear. So the signal comes from the ADSL line or the optical cable, if you have on. And i do. There is a lot of programs with this TV. The number …

I follow this Australian police drama called City Homicide which deals with the homicides that an Australian police team of investigators try to solve. The homicides are complex, and most are not set in black in white. I struggled with the accent for several episodes, but now I find …

A short while ago, I commented that the later Simpsons Treehouse of Terror episodes aren’t anywhere near as good as the earlier versions.
I was wrong.
I got a chance to see Treehouse of Terror XV last night and was very impressed with the quality of the Halloween special that has …

The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid is the second show of this new law series that is as much comedy as it is drama. For example, in the opening tease, the first bit has the series leads, Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell, standing below the big, bold billboard …

I thought that this episode of Law and Order Special Victims Unit was not only interesting but educational to me in the sense that it was this episode which informed me of the theory which some people have that sometimes people who are sexually abused eventually begin to sexually …

So, the WB and UPN has decided to join companies. Theyre now calling it the CW. The CW has will be premiering, i think, September 18. They will include shows from both networks. I’ve seen the TV Guide channel, and they had som info about what shows will be …

The fifth episode of Legend is called The Life, Death, and Life of Wild Bill Hickock and features William Russ as Wild Bill Hickock. In this episode, Hickock enlists Pratt’s assistance in bringing in the Jack McCall gang.
There’s an interesting gunfight early on, with Hickock taking on …

Last night’s episode of House was actually pretty decent for a change.
The episode, entitled “Remorse” had an interesting case involving a woman who turns out to have zero emotion and will do whatever it takes to get her way. She is dying and they team can’t figure out if …

Cowboy Bebop Episode 21 has Jet receiving a mysterious email from an old friend and he decides to investigate.
This episode was very well done and it’s very unique and it was a lot of fun to watch. It’s not every day you get to see a shootout in …

Changing Lanes presented its 8th and final show recently. The concept behind the limited series that aired on the BET channel was that Max Siegel had begun a team to participate in the NASCAR series. The team, called Revolution Racing, is designed to help move along the …

OK, the SVU episode “Annihilated” had to be one of the most twisted, sick and sad episodes I’ve seen. Seriously, how can someone do something like that to their family?
The case starts out with a woman being murdered and a search for her fiancé, who is reportedly in the …

Stargate SG-1: Homecoming concludes the two-parter where Daniel Jackson returns to the series after a one-year hiatus. Oddly, his character is teamed with his so-called replacement, Jonas Quinn. There was some concern that the two might have difficulties performing together, but they didn’t.
Fans, however, had some difficulties …

Yes, there is yet another reality show featuring design and fashion. Instead of watching people model the clothes and basing the prize on that, we get to see literal amateurs attempting to launch their own clothing lines. They are paired with an expert who knows how to …

Judge Piers Morgan stated that the America’s Got Talent: Semi-Finals was a lackluster semi-final for the most part, and I agree, but the judges did this. Their picks this year have been pretty bad. I don’t get why they put forward two thirds of the acts that …

This edition of America’s Got Talent was dubbed The You Tube Special because for the first time it centered on a You Tube competition where one act would be added to the overall competition.
I have to say that I’m really tired of the current panel of judges for this …

Aang begins his training, playing Luke Skywalker to the guru’s Yoda. This show is known for incorporating Eastern mythology and that really comes into play here as Aang masters each of his chakras. I know, the show’s short on time, but it seems like he masters them …

When impressions are done well, they can be funny and enjoyable but The Impressions Show on BBC is a little embarrassing to watch to be honest. Im never keen on watching comedy sketch shows where canned laughter is used to make people think the jokes are funny and …

I think Deal or No Deal has now lost some of its appeal for people. I remember when it first started, I wanted to watch every show and see every box opened. I thought right from the beginning it looked a very low-key setting with the wooden floors and …

Junior Apprentice Episode 1 began by introducing the viewers to the 10 contestants selected from 28,000 applicants to vie to be Lord Alan Sugar’s junior apprentice. Now I remember watching the first regular Apprentice and found it very interesting. Sugar operates differently from Donald Trump and for …

Emergency!: Hang-Up is the second to last episode of the first season of this medical drama, and it has a couple of really intriguing elements to it.
Here’s the really odd thing about this episode. In the pilot movie of Emergency!, Officers Pete Malloy and Jim Reed (Martin Milner …

Touching Evil: Grief involves yet another grizzly crime where women are killed with their hearts cut out. This show is not for the faint of heart, even when it’s at its best.
There is an early reference to Holly Creegan, David’ ex-wife. He has her hidden away in …

This episode really impresses the fact the castaways are alone and isolated. There is the world and then the castaways. The world has no idea where they are or even know about their island, uncharted. So I also feel a bit alone while watching it. The representation of the …

The Beast Wars - Part One is the first part of the season premier. As a part of the season one premier, it does do what it is supposed to do and it does it well: it introduces the characters and lays out the plot of the series. I …

I have been resisting Glee since its earliest appearance on the radar. As the obsession grew and people began naming themselves “Gleeks” and making the show their facebook status, the idea of the show became more and more repugnant to me. Why would intelligent adults waste their time on …

As I was impatiently waiting for the fall season to start, I made do with watching shows from Canada and Australia. So You Think You Can Dance Canada was ongoing and so I decided to watch this reality dance show.
I was a bit disappointed with this 2009 season’s …

As a mother this episode really resonated with me. The whole episode was about mother’s day and how a father’s perception about the day is different than what a mother wants and how father’s day is fantastic but mother’s day tends to fall flat.
This episode was …

CSI Season 7 Episode 10- Loco Motives
I found it to be a very interesting episode. It was a bit different from the usual formula. To begin with, it presented the team with 3 different murders to solve, which seemed a bit overwhelming. But then used different methods to presents …

OK, I�ll admit, I only tuned in this week because the car crash promo had me interested. Who gets seriously hurt; Olivia or Elliott�s pregnant wife?
Overall though, I thought this episode was weak at best. You had a debate about whether a child should know if his father isn�t …

I thought that this was one of the oddest episodes of the hit 1990s American television series “The X-Files”. Many people might wonder how it is that this one has managed to make its way into my top ten weirdest episodes of “The X-Files”. However I thought it was …

The Twilight Zone: The Howling Man is a show I just can’t stand and never could. I watch it as little as possible, in fact. To put it simply, I don’t like this one at all. It’s one of the episodes of this science fiction series …
