Have Gun - Will Travel: The Last Laugh
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Last Laugh reminds me of the classic Of Mice and Men, in part because there’s a big, tall guy who clearly is IQ challenged and easily manipulated. That’s really the only connection, but it popped into my mind while watching it.
Stuart Whitman …

Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth

The Simpsons: Jazzy and the Pussy Cats
Well, who knew Bart’s trouble making tendencies could be turned into something good? The Simpsons episode “Jazzy and the Pussycats” shows Lisa isn’t the only one in the family with the ability to be a talented musician.

Recess
Recess was a pretty good Disney cartoon that was really funny. The thing I really liked about this show, is that the characters were people instead of animals, which Disney is known for. I think that this show is very good and really used to like the plot. The …

Mystery Spot - Episode 11 , Season 3 Supernatural
I’m a big Supernatural fan, and this is one of my favourite episodes.
It’s like a game of two halves - the first is a comedy, the second a tragedy. It’s just a great premise.
It’s a Tuesday, Sam is woken by Asia playing on the radio. Sam and Dean are …

My cousin told me about this television show on mtv, that I should watch it. As soon as I started watching it I liked it. I like how they show the family all together. How they show how they have problems but yet stick as a family and work …

The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 5: The Jersey Devil
This was an episode that I had never seen before, so I was rather excited to tune into see how this played out. Once again, it veers from the extra-terrestrial conspiracy plot line to give us a “monster of the week”. This time it’s the Jersey Devil. …
Til death
When I first saw Til Death I was quite excited. I saw that Brad garrett form Everybody loves Raymond was the star and was itching to see what he was up to.
The premise was simple, a married couple who are used to each others way are unsettled when …
Probe: Plan 10 from Outer Space
You can tell from the title that this episode is going to be either an homage or a take off on Plan 9 from Outer Space. It’s pretty wacky, but oddly interesting anyway.
In Probe: Plan 10 from Outer Space, Truman Smith (Michael Constantine) calls his friend Austin James …
Invisible man season 1 episode 4 Ralph
This is my favorite episode of the show Invisible man. That one of the older shows, at least 8 years old as I can remember and I used to like it a lot so now when I got the chance to re-watch it I took it. It would be …
Superstar Food Stylists (Food Network program)
The Food Network lover that I am, I tuned into this show and was amazed that it wasn’t a “cooking” show per se, but a food styling show. What was interesting is that all the stylists have a heavy background in cooking. But the actual …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Tax Gatherer TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Tax Gatherer, a fourth year episode of this black and white western television series, had a lot of potential, but ultimately failed. The problem is that it’s party comedy and part drama, and it would have been better if it’ had stuck …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Fear, Itself
Once again, I’m watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and have to suffer through another episode “Fear, Itself” that doesn’t even spend any time discussing vampires.
This is the typical Buffy Halloween episode, where Halloween is supposed to be a quiet time and something strange happens to put the gang in …
Cold Case - Volunteers show
I don’t get many opportunities to watch the show Cold Case. But, i took part of the day off to take my daughter to the fair (which was ruined by the rain) and ended up watching a re-run of it today “Volunteers.” It was pretty decent.
The show starts out …

Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized
When it comes to season finales, or at least summer finales, you think the show Monk would leave its best episode for last, in an effort to keep you wanting more.
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized is not one of the best episodes I’ve seen.
Really, nothing about this episode is unique …
Columbo: Dead Weight TV Show
Dead Weight is another first season installment of the Columbo series, which was actually a once a month event back in those days. The show begins with the revelation that a major general’s private company won bids unfairly, thanks to the help of a corporal. When the …
Star Trek: Enterprise - Fight or Flight
“Fight or Flight” is the third episode in the first season of Star Trek: Enterprise, with the first two episodes consisting of the two hour pilot. I feel it was quite appropriate of the writers to do a character story this early in the series because it helps to …
Gundam 00 As Sunrise’s Breakthrough

Moral Orel (Adult Swim)

Reaper
Reaper was a big disappointment to me. I had high hopes for it, but I never made it through the first episode. The premise is very interesting. Parents sell their son’s soul to the devil before he was even born and when he turns 21, it is …
Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 17
I think Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 17 is an important development because this is the season whereby Lynette gets a job, and you will see why Gabby is acting like she’s not jealous but in actual fact she is so worried about her husband working with his own ex-girlfriend. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Dr. Thackeray
The funny thing about Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Dr. Thackeray is that Paladin actually talks marriage, and the thing is that he’s such a playboy as a rule. They don’t really show much, but it’s there and prevalent in his lifestyle. In this …
