TV Reviews
Trading Spouses TV show
Is this the best show on television or what? I mean, it is the most interesting show for sure. My apologies to all of the writers out there in the world of television, but I much prefer heavily edited reality to scripted unreality.
I don’t know exactly what …
The Simpsons Season 3
The third season of The Simpsons isn’t exactly the best season in the show’s history, but it’s far from the worst too. When you watch the earlier seasons now, it can sometimes be hard to compare the characters to how they look and sound now. That problem doesn’t appear …
True Blood Episode 1: Strange Love
The first scene of the episode was great as far as letting the watcher know what the premise of the story is and gives a great pipe in for the turning plot. Two curious kids, a gas station, and monsters are a great way to start a scary …
How to Get Away with Murder (legal drama series)
One of the series that I’m watching right now is “How to Get Away with Murder”, which airs on the cable television channel ABC. The title actually got my attention a little before it began because of how unique it sounded, and after a while when it premiered, I was …
Heroes Season One
Heroes is an amazing show that became a huge phenomenon across the world. When season one aired on television, it made a huge impact and it was a huge hit.
The show is about bunch of people that have special abilities and most of them are trying to save the …
Quincy M.E.: Hit and Run at Danny’s TV show
Quincy M.E.: Hit and Run at Danny’s aired in 1977. It was the sixth episode of the second season of this highly successful drama about a medical examiner named Quincy as played by Jack Klugman. It was an excellent show I watched regularly every year that it …
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1
Watching Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season One now is a fairly different experience than watching it when the season first aired years ago. I actually remember when the show first started because my parents were big fans of the original Law and Order and I actually watched Special …
For Rent (HGTV)
Most of the TV programs on HGTV are pretty standard. You’ve got the makeover shows, the ones where people are looking for new housing. And finally you’ve got “For Rent”—”the show in which people are actually looking for places to rent. I like this show because …
House TV Episode: Selfish
My wife and I attempted to DVR last week’s House episode “Now What.” But, for some reason, the DVR stopped recording about 10 minutes into it and we were forced to wait until last night to catch up with the show and figure out what would happen next.
Because we …
Nightmares and Dreamscapes: Battleground
I discovered this adaptation after reading the short story for Examiner.com. A reader presented the oppurtunity to watch it after I reviewed the story itself.
This is definitely an adaptation that deserves mention as it is really good. William Hurt turns in a great performance. He deserves …
Professor Iris
One of my very favourite children’s shows when I was still just a small child was the show “Professor Iris”. It used to come on a local television channel in the early afternoons right after I would come home from school so I think I might have been in …
Nip/Tuck
“Nip/Tuck” is like no other medical drama that has ever been on television. It is clearly not a show that is “family-friendly,” since it deals with a lot of extremely raw adult themes. The show revolves around two successful plastic surgeons- Dr. Sean McNamara and Christian Troy, their …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Chameleon
Synopsis: The SVU team tries to prove a prostitute (who killed a man in self defense when he attempted to rape her) is really a serial killer who has killed at least three others.
What I liked about this episode: The prostitute they captured is very manipulative and it was …
Legend: Birth of a Legend
Legend only ran for one season, but it was certainly a different season. This show stars Richard Dean Anderson as Ernest Pratt, a writer with a writing block. Now Anderson here is a far cry from MacGyver, whom he’d just left behind him. He has a …
Dirty Sexy Money
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 …
That Girl: Fix My Screen and Bug Out
That Girl: Fix My Screen and Bug Out guest stars Michael Callan, who plays Bobby Miller, the old boyfriend of Ann Marie’s. Callan is a charming man, and he plays a lot of these kind of characters. He’s not a bad guy here by any means. …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit (Bad Blood) Episode
I thought this episode of Law and Order SVU was a little bit more than interesting. It was also educational in my eyes, as before watching it, I was not aware that some psychiatrists thought that sometimes bad behaviour and qualities were genetic. Nevertheless, despite watching the episode which …
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1, Episode 22
Watching this episode now, I have to wonder why the Law and Order Criminal Intent series decided to end their season with it. The previous episode is far better than this one, yet it is the season ended. I really didn’t care for this episode very much, and I’m …
Simple Simon cartoon
Castle Films presented a cartoon version of Simple Simon. This now vintage cartoon from the golden age of TV begins very lively with the children’s song about Simple Simon. Then we learn everyone is going to the fair, and that’s where the story goes.
While I loved the …
Laramie: General Delivery
I absolutely adore the General Delivery episode of Laramie. It’s the first show that Rod Cameron guest starred in, and each of his episodes were gems. Cameron is a dynamic actor, and he brings quality to all of his portrayals.
In Laramie: General Delivery, Ed Calder is a …
Eureka Seven episode 49
As the residue settles from the epic battle that was just held, resulting in the loss of the fate of the world, what will those sworn to protect the world from its nightmarish destruction do now the worse has come to past? And what will happen to the world …
Bones TV Episode: The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle
Well, last night’s episode of Bones wasn’t the best episode I’ve seen, but it wasn’t the worst one either.
In The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle, they find themselves investigating the murder of a rich guy who was last seen at a rock and roll fantasy camp and find themselves …
The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man
The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man has an interesting premise. Patrick McGoohan’s Number Six character wakes up to discover he is now Number Twelve, complete with a mustache (which doesn’t suit him at all, I might add). This is followed by the news that he’s supposed to switch …
Thriller: The Hungry Glass TV Show
Boris Karloff hosted the Thriller program with this entry, The Hungry Glass, airing in 1961. It’s a mystery tale full of intrigue. It begins innocently enough with a happy couple arriving in a seaside time to move in to a nice home. What they don’t know …
Psych
As much as I like the show Psych, I was commenting to my wife the other day that the characters don’t seem to spend as much time trying to pretend he’s psychic than they did in the past. So, this episode, There’s Some thing about Mira, was really refreshing.
First, …
Detective Conan (Case Closed)
When I first saw the description of Detective Conan, a kid who solved cases, I wasn’t too keen on watching it. But then I thought that I might as well check it out. When I finally saw it, I realized that it was a High Schooler who turned into …

The Prisoner: A. B. and C.
The Prisoner: A. B. and C. is more intriguing to me than the few other episodes I’ve seen thus far. It might be because it’s not so much the crazy FX or even The Village, but has as its setting a party scene, probably in London. The …
Seven days season 3 episode 17 Kansas
A real science fiction happens in this episode and I really found the idea interesting. Parker is a US soldier who works on a secret government project of time travel. He travels seven days back in time when something bad for national security happens.
The scientists who created the …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Time Lock TV Show
From 1967, the eighth episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s fourth season is called Time Lock. It’s an okay episode that has some entertainment value going for it. The crux of the hour long science fiction show is that Admiral Harriman Nelson, as played …
Stargate SG-1: Beast of Burden
Stargate SG-1: Beast of Burden is one of my favorite season five episodes of this series. It’s just full of good stuff.
In this episode. the Unas named Chaka is kidnapped by men from another planet. Feeling responsible, Daniel convinces his teammates and General Hammond to go on …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Lady
The tenth episode of the second season of Have Gun - Will Travel is called The Lady. It begins with a mysterious lady approaching Paladin (Richard Boone) in his San Francisco hotel, the Hotel Carlton. This is a little different, but fun. She’s a spicy lady …
Grey’s Anatomy TV Show
In a time when many TV shows are failing miserably, Grey’s Anatomy is still one of the few that are holding strong. After seven years on air, this is a show that is able to keep an audience, me included, captivated and interested. It’s not perfect by any means, …
The Simpsons: Simpson and Delilah
Last night was probably the fourth or fifth time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “Simpson and Delilah” and I still think it is an interesting episode.
This episode, which is from the second season of the long running series, feature Homer deciding he no longer wants to be bald and …
Highway Patrol: Hired Killer TV Show
From June 1957, Highway Patrol: Hired Killer was one of the last episodes of the police drama’s second season to air. It was definitely watchable, if only for the curiosity about the title character, the unnamed killer.
Len Hendry played a hired gun who shows up to take down …
The Loretta Young Show: Faith Hope and Mr. Flaherty
I remember years ago as a child watching The Loretta Young Show. The actress was quite beautiful and was very talented. Her shows were a delight. All I remember, though, is watching. I couldn’t tell you an episode. That’s because Loretta Young kept a …
Wagon Train: The Myra Marshall Story
This show, Wagon Train: The Myra Marshall Story, isn’t a huge favorite, but it’s still a good one. One of the neat things about the episode is that it sets up the viewer to think one thing, when it’s really something else. Back when this show aired …
Imbestigador
I love documentaries and I love real life stories. To be honest, I enjoy these shows more than life challenges like the fear factor that make you do certain things for the money. I hate those that present yucky things it just make my stomach churn. Browsing through the …
Vizio M260VA 26″ RAZOR LED LCD HDTV
The Visio M260VA is our first flat-screen TV. We got the 26 inch so it will fit inside our TV stand (the stand is solid wood, looks beautiful, and holds many movies along with several glass figurines which is why we wanted to keep the old TV stand with …
CSI: For Warrick
If you are a CSI fan then you should know who Warrick is. In case you don’t know already, in the episode called “For Warrick” in the latest season, he passes away. This is a very sad episode but yet extremely good. There were parts that I was crying …
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 15 Unfinished Business
I thought it was a pretty decent episode. I enjoyed it, although I felt it was a little bit slow. And despite the fact that Reid is supposed to have these special mental skill and photographic memory, I thought it was just a little bit too much how he …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Wilt Chamberlain TV Show
Basketball great Wilt Chamberlain was the Man of the Week for this outing of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour, an event that is often sold as The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts.
Another basketball player of the day, Happy Hairston, was one of the roasters. He actually had some good …
Adam-12 - Log 55: Missing Child
I have to admit that I don’t like the beginning this Adam-12 episode. It bothers me on many levels. As an animal lover, it’s unnerving and disturbing. It concerns an elderly woman (Alma Platt) who intentionally left her gas on in an attempt to euthanize her …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Daniel’s Song TV show
It’s Roger Wilson’s turn to take the point in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Daniel’s Song. Wilson plays Daniel McFadden, the 4th of the 7 sibling brothers. He’s always singing and dancing when not working the ranch, and when he’s not doing that, he’s playing the guitar.
In …

Mork& Mindy : Mork’s Best Friend
When I first saw the Mork & Mindy episode “Mork’s Best Friend” I was just a kid and thought it was a great show. After seeing it again today, I have to say, by today’s standards, it’s a bit lame.
Mork adopts a caterpillar as a pet and treats it …
Emergency!: Publicity Hound
Gary Crosby makes his first guest starring role as Paramedic Tom Wheeler in Emergency!: Publicity Hound from season one. With certain annoying charm, he manages to get the spotlight with the press, even if he wasn’t the primary rescuer involved in whatever was happening. It’s a fun …
