Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story was a hoot and one of the best non-Robert Fuller episodes of Wagon Train. Fuller actually missed several episodes due to an accident, so it’s a long stretch without seeing Cooper Smith. Still, this story had some fun in it.
Melanie …
Dr. Scholl’s inserts (TV commercial)
Guess what happens to America’s Next Top Model contestants when they lose? They either fall back into their previous lives with a touch of notoriety—or they get cast in Dr. Scholl’s commercials like YaYa DaCosta. This young lady who irritated the bejeezus out of her housemates …
American Dad tv show
The first time I saw American Dad going on I honestly thought it was the show Family Guy, since the drawings and themes were a bit similar. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when I found out that this show was also co-created by Seth MacFarlane. I’m not American, neither do …
Babylon 5: Season 1, Episode 6: The Parliament of Dreams
Babylon 5 prepares to host a festival that will allow various races from across the galaxy to give a demonstration regarding their dominant religion. When the episode began, I was expecting some sort of tirade, but outside of Garibaldi’s comment about how it’s a bad idea, the script …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Gungan General
The Gungan General felt like a big step backwards for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Much of what I have liked in this series is that it didn’t feel like it was made for little kids. In previous episodes, it felt like the people in the show were adults.
In …
Rozerem (TV ad)
While watching television, I happened upon a commercial where a man is seated at his kitchen table with Abraham Lincoln, and what looks to be a groundhog, but is actually a beaver. In the rear, facing the sink (presumably washing dishes) is what looks like an astronaut. …
Undercover Boss UK: Tower Hamlets TV Show
Kevan Collins, CEO for just four months at Tower Hamlets, steps up to the plate in this episode of Undercover Boss - UK. Now I’m a bit handicapped by my American perspective because I haven’t a clue what they were talking about in terms of how this Tower …
That Girl: The Homewrecker and the Window Washer
From season three of That Girl, we get The Homewrecker and the Window Washer. It’s the first episode that aired in 1969, and it was okay. It’s not a huge favorite of mine personally. However, the color of the show comes from Jules Munshin, who is …
Wagon Train: The Grover Allen Story
The Grover Allen Story from season seven of Wagon Train is a little different from the other stories. It revolved around Grover Allen, a seemingly mild-mannered man who suddenly turns murderer, killing his boss with a bomb. Oddly, the episode is filmed as part comedy, with several …
The Virginian: The Judgment
The Virginian: The Judgment is a flashback tale, told by Judge Henry Garth (Lee J. Cobb) to his daughter, Betsy (Roberta Shore), about something that happened ten years earlier. As a result, the show is Cobb-centric. Outside of Shore’s short bits in the opening and the ending, …
Sinutab tv commercial

The Simpson’s: Simple Simpson
I got a chance to watch a Simpson’s episode last night that I haven’t seen before; Simple Simpson. It turned out to be an OK episode.
I liked this one because Homer ends up becoming a super hero called the Pie Man and rights injustices by hitting people in the …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 2
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 2 is the strangest episode in the entire Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime, in both seasons, because it does not follow any of the main characters, it is not about any of them and doesn’t enhance the plot …
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 …
South Park TV Show
This show is a show that will do it’s best to be raunchy, disgusting and down right offend every walk of life. This show is a waste of the air waves and is an embarrassment to society. It is sad that humanity has gone so low as …

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 …

Family Guy: The Story on Page 1
We were watching a Family Guy re-run last night, The Story on Page 1 and I have to say it, it is easily the funniest episode I have seen both of this series and quite a few others I can think of.

The Twilight Zone: The Silence TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Silence, a second season outing for this classic TV series, is one that I don’t like to watch too often because it bothers me. I have a hard time just looking at it as entertainment. It’s primarily about a very bad joke that …
Golden Girls Season One Boxed Set
The first season of the Golden Girls is something completely random, and that is part of the reason why I had to rate the boxed set lower than I wanted too. As much as I love the episodes, the first season is disjointed and discombobulated, with no real pattern …
TV show Friends
I have to start with the fact that I don’t even own a TV. As it happens my husband early in his life decided it was a menace to his freedom of thought and time. So when we moved in together we simply agreed we wouldn’t own one. However …
Lie to Me
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 …
Bones: The Hero in the Hold
I missed a good portion of the second season of Bones so when everyone started talking about the Gravedigger in last night’s episode “The Hero in the Hold” I was a bit lost about the whole thing; especially when they started talking about being buried alive.
However, the episode itself …
Smallville Season 8 Episode 5
At first i thought this episode was a little bit off. A jeweler kidnaps Chloe and Jimmy, hooks them up to a lie detector test and asks them questions to determine if their love is true. If the lie they get an electric shock.
Weird huh?
I didn’t really …

Young Justice (animated series)
If you’ve read some of my reviews you might notice that I’m a bit of a comic book superhero geek. Therefore, it goes without saying that even though I might not necessarily have access to a lot of the comic books that I love, I still have to watch …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 9: Human Nature
After the awesomeness that was “42″, we’re given another amazing episode. It may not keep you on the edge of your seat in suspense, but it works extremely well and pulls off everything successfully.

Detective Conan (Case Closed)

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Long Night

Opportunity Knocks

The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 9: Space
From what I’ve read, this episode was critically lambasted. To its credit, the episode does have some strong ideas behind it, but the execution of it ends up doing the plot a disservice. There are several instances where astronauts have reported seeing something out in space during …
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
Most of us “Baby Boomers” grew up watching “The Tonight Show” when it was hosted by the inimitable Johnny Carson. Johnny was classy, witty and talented enough to make even the dullest guest look fascinating. Whenever you heard the show’s theme song start, you’d feel so excited, …

Street Hawk: The Arabian
Street Hawk: The Arabian is episode 11 of this series and it all revolves around Rebel’s Choice, a horse with a heck of an insurance policy. The horse is, well, horse-napped. As an animal lover, I have to be honest and say I don’t like shows like …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 8: The Unicorn and the Wasp
This is one of those archetypal Doctor Who episodes where the pair travel to some point in history, meet up with a historical figure, and then have an adventure. I can’t help but notice that they all tend to be writers. First we had Dickens, then we …
