All of the cable news networks have a slogan, or more than one; Fox News has “Fair and Balanced” and “We Report, You Decide” but none are as accurate in the opinion of this viewer and political junkie as MSNBC’s. With its line-up of entertaining and informative shows and …

Bones is a great show on tv about a team of forensic scientists who work with an FBI agent to solve crimes figuring out what happened by the bones of the victim.
I’ll be honest, when i heard about this show I thought it was a stupid idea. Which …

I was never a big Wildcat fan. I don’t know why, he just never really appealed to me. He takes the main stage here as he, along with Batman do battle with a group of rebel teens who have dubbed themselves “the Outsiders”. Fans of Batman …

I finally got to watch Ghost Hunters after having to wait a couple of hours for it to come on the air. I wanted to see the new one but did watch the two re-runs leading up to it too.
This one, “Ghostly Bounty Hunter” was somewhat interesting.
The first case …

A Man Called Kane is the last episode of the second season of the 90-minute western, The Virginian. I wasn’t really crazy about, which surprised me a little. I’ve said before that growing up I didn’t like this show at all. I found The Virginian to …

The Discovery Channel just aired a program on The Rapture that I found rather interesting. The Rapture encompasses the idea of Jesus coming to rescue people who have had faith in Him prior to a seven year period of earthly damnation. I was surprised to learn that …

After Butters pees in the pool, Kyle comes to the shocking realization that almost everybody does. No one …

Highway Patrol: Portrait of Death is the 7th episode of the fourth year, airing back in November 1958. Police dramas were different then. This show which has been considered a leader from early television is rather tame and has some real staging and directing problems. However, …

I have watched every episode of NCIS currently on air. The show itself has many good points that keeps me returning to it every time I see it on my guide channel. The characters depth and personality, story development, and interesting interesting twists and turns keep me …

I was never a big fan of L.A. Law, though with reruns, I probably have seen most if not all of the entire series, but as I turned on One Rat, One Ranger to watch it for the first time in years, my initial thought was, “Wow, what a …

Turner Classic Movies has produced a wonderfully simple biography on Ron Howard, known to some as Opie on “The Andy Griffith Show” and as Richie on “Happy Days”, and well respected as one of Hollywood’s leading movie directors. It’s called “Ron Howard: 50 Years in Film.”
There’s nothing glitzy …

It is the last day of school. Lisa prints the yearbook, but she herself does not manage to get any autographs signed. This makes her very depressed. She feels like a loser, inspite of doing so well in academics. Her brother Brat however is very popular, along with the …

There is no denying that Starhunter is a show with a lot of heart. That is one of the reasons that I like it so much. Sure, they didn’t have the highest budget to work with or even the greatest talent, but you could tell that they …

M*A*S*H: The More I See You is essentially a love story, a real one, for the show’s main hero, Hawkeye Pierce as played beautifully by Alan Alda. We learn that Hawkeye lived with a nurse during his residency. He really loved her and still does, but she …

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 …

Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show sidekick Ed McMahon was the Man of the Week on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Carson was roasted himself a few episodes after this one. Oddly, Carson didn’t attend this roast, and McMahon wasn’t at Carson’s. You’d think …

Isaac Asimov is one of the co-creators of the Probe TV series, which helps to account for the abundance of scientific knowledge and application for this show. It didn’t last long, only a few episodes that aired in 1988, but I enjoyed it. Parker Stevenson and Ashley …

Dancing With the Stars, Week 4 of the 11th season, was another entertaining show. I’m not really that crazy about all of the celebrities performing on the show this season, but they have been better than anticipated. This show was different, too, because it was performed in …

I can remember watching this movie first in a marathon of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files” on the cable television channel Sci-Fi. I didn’t get to watch all of it at that time since I was planning starting some work, but since I love to …

Synopsis: Goren and Eames track down a young jewel thief and realize that she is being mentored by Goren’s arch nemesis Nicole.
What I like about this episode: One of the reasons I hated Nicole’s final episode (which has her murdered early on in the episode and off camera) is …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Tender Gun maybe end up being one of my favorite episodes, and that actually surprises me a little. It’s a fourth season show featuring Jeanette Nolan as Maude Smuggley. Now isn’t that a fun name? It makes me smile, even …

Scrubs is a show that I really like. Even after 7 season they still make me laugh and I don’t find them bring as most of the shows become boring after 3rd or 4th season. But here that didn’t happend.
I like dr. Dorian more than other characters although I …

This episode picks up where the last left off, with John Smith being forced to comply to an order that makes absolutely no sense to him made by beings that he has no seeming familiarity with. Kudos to Martha for turning the tables the way she did. …

He’s done this once before and he does it again now in M*A*S*H: Give ‘Em Hell, Hawkeye. The ‘he’ is Hawkeye Pierce, played so brilliantly for years by Alan Alda. The ‘it’ is writing a letter to President Harry S. Truman. It’s Hawkeye’s attempt to communicate …

Criminal Minds: Safe Haven was another very violent hour of television, though it was also a compelling sixty minutes that held my attention throughout. This was a combination of the story and the acting, primarily from the talents of Mare Winningham.
In this show, the BAU goes after a …

Stargate SG-1: Birthright is an intriguing episode from season seven. It’s the introduction of a female Jaffa named Ishta, wonderfully portrayed by Jolene Blalock. She’s the best pairing with Teal’c since the actresses who played his wife on the series.
Blalock and the other women who are part …

On tonight’s show, the remaining celebrities all had to do two different dances, which is always a huge challenge for them.
Natalie and Alec opened with the Paso Doble to the tune of American Woman. It just didn’t quite work for some reason. Technically, she did okay, but …

Producers Scott Baio and …

While I can kind of understand where the writers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were going with the episode “Amends” I do think they fell a bit short of their goal and produced a somewhat weak episode.
On the surface, this is nothing more than your average Christmas special with …

Stargate Atlantis: Ghost in the Machine is the fifth episode of the fifth and final season for this SyFy TV series. Never let it be said I can’t say something good about this series that I’m not fond of because I’m saying here that this episode was actually …

You can’t go wrong with zombies. There’s just something about them that work, even when it’s greatly flawed. These are more of the “rage zombie” ilk as opposed to the slow walking dead. Seeing the latter would’ve been cool, but this works too.
The change is caused …

Star Trek: The Paradise Syndrome is really a tender show. I’m not into the Kirk romances, but I do like this one because it is true of spirit. It’s real and not some sophisticated thing or past fling who returns. This is a love of the …

I discovered a lot of television series last year, but one of them that remains my favourite is “Devious Maids”. This is despite its very close resemblance to one of those daytime soap operas.
I would watch “Devious Maids” every Sunday night when it would air on Lifetime, and I …

“Let’s be happy in our work, Reed.”
That’s the sub-plot them of the Log 51 episode of “Adam-12. It’s a funny episode to watch, with Reed and Malloy just having no luck getting a call that will let them earn their pay for the shift. It’s a carry …

During the 90’s, there was a show on ABC called Sabrina the Teenage Witch. It is now on the ABC Family channel. Back when the show was on, it was one of my favorite shows. It is about a girl who finds out at the age …

The girls had a lesson with Paulina Porizkova on how to think on their feet when they are interviewed. Models are always on the limelight about something so this is one thing that the competition should taught the girls. The next day, the girls got a visit from Courtney …

Dirty Sexy Money is all about money. Yes, there are so many TV shows and movies about money because I think people are just obsessed with money and power in general.
I must say that I cannot find a rapport with this TV drama, I’m not sure why. Sure …

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 …

I really wanted to like this cooking show as I love to watch shows where people are getting down in the kitchen. I also like the fact that there is a black man on television who embraces being in the kitchen. In any case I …

I like watching Wife Swap because it gives me a look into other people’s homes! I admit it, I’m nosy! And Wife Swap allows me to peek into the living rooms of other Americans, PLUS I get to watch what happens when they let a total stranger …

Sometimes, drams can slow us down to the point of insanity. Other times, they can amuse us with stupid jokes and even more redundant situations. On the case of Cowboy Bebop episode eleven, they are the most radical parody of Ghost busters, that I have ever seen. When Jet …

From October 1968, The Virginian: Vision of Blindness was the 4th outing of this 90 minute western’s seventh season on the air. I’ve been watching a few more of these shows lately because David Hartman is now in the cast as David Sutton, one of the ranch hands …

The fifth episode of MacGyver’s second season is much better than the fourth one was. MacGyver: Final Approach opens with a neat bit of Mac being killed in a plane crash. Of course, he’s in a simulator, and he’s not thrilled when Pete tells him that he …

This episode is great! You know there is not even one dull moment in the whole show, full of surprising events that keeps you guessing what will happen next. It plays as more an outrageous show and yes is unrealistic, but still good. Gilligan of course gets into trouble, …
