Have Gun - Will Travel: Brother’s Keeper, the 33rd show from season 4 of this western program, was written by Jay Simms. I don’t often mention the writers, but I liked the way he constructed this episode. It was dramatic and somewhat whimsical at the same time. …

After dealing with a force of pure evil in the form of Donnie Pfaster, the agents find themselves once again battling such evil, only this time it’s in the form of the freaking devil. Oh yes, Mulder and Scully are investigating a Satanic cult and the result is …

If you’re looking for a show to watch Tuesday nights, Law & Order Special Victims Unit is it. It has to be the best of the Law & Order franchise and I make sure never to miss an episode.
In addition to being a great crime drama, the storylines in …

For a western, The Virginian did do some very different things. For example, The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day includes a day at the lake with visitors in their swimming suits. Not only that, but the opening scene includes a phone call in Denver. A western …

One thing I noticed in the premier and …

My interest in the Stargate Program is pretty much confined to the first eight years of Stargate SG-1. I did not like Stargate Atlantis and its affect on SG-1, and I suppose for much of the same reasons, I haven’t been interested in Stargate Universe, either. However, …

From 1959, Highway Patrol: Women Escapees is the 32nd show of the fourth season, which means it was one of the last of this series which starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as Sergeant Ken Williams. This show was a tad different in that …

This episode is supposed to be scary, but in the Gilligan’s Island world is more like Halloween for kids. The spooky booing of the ghost at the beginning actually helps me get into the ghostly feel of the show. Richard Kiel plays a Russian Spy dressed up as a …

The latest episode of Surviving the Cut was called Special Forces Diving which dealt with the Special Forces Combat Diving Course. These personnel are already Special Ops trained, and that in itself takes a great deal of courage and strength. This is even more intense.
There were 53 …

Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 5 begins with Tony Robbins helping out John Rodriguez, a man who lost his wife after she was killed in a random shooting and John became depressed and homeless.
I liked this episode a lot because John learned that he can do things, even if …

Even though the new season doesn’t start until January, viewers were treated to a 2 hour 24 “movie” that sets up the plot for the next season.
My memory of the last season is rather fuzzy. I have a vague idea of what happened but when the …

Memoir from Mr. Sulu from early 2004 was another update on one of the people who made Star Trek the legend that it is, George Takei. Takei played Sulu, the helmsman. He’s always been very pro-Sulu, advocating for his character and his advancement. I love that …

“The Ex-Secretary” is the final episode of “Green Acres”. At the time, the writers were not aware that the network had plans to cancel not only this show, but several other popular shows to make way for television shows that were more
attractive to advertisers and a younger demographic. Had …

Two of my favorite NCIS episodes back to back. We go from “Dead Man Talking,” to “Missing,” which was a wonderful episode.
This case was full of twists and turns…the kind that makes NCIS the number one drama on television today. A navy man goes missing and it …

This was an interesting episode …

Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Easy Chicken Menu included Quinn’s 23 year old son, Calder. He’s been on this cooking show several times before, but this is the first one to my knowledge where he’s been on it from start to finish. Frankly, it’s a good …

This episode starts with really great music; the beginning is really strong and dynamic.
While arresting members of a prostitution chain the detectives from 125 find a council man in one of the rooms with a prostitute. Annie and Ray are left at the crime scene to take the statements …

Cheers is on of the best TV shows ever created. I think the show has a great warm feel to it. It’s the type of show I can come home and watch after a hard day. You can’t but smile when you hear the intro to the song for Cheers. …

The Little King - Christmas Night is a vintage cartoon presented by SoGlow. I actually watched several holiday comics from the golden age today, and this was probably not only the most simplistic of the bunch but my least favorite.
The story revolves around a king who seems a …

I think that this, even more so than the two previous episodes, acts as a proto-typical X-Files episode. It has all the things that X-Files fans love. It’s far more atmospheric than the other two and has a stronger story to tell compared to the other two.
It …

Accidentally on Purpose is a somewhat new television show starring Jenna Elfman of Dharma and Greg fame.
The story centers around a 30/40 something woman (Elfman) who has ended a relationship with a man because he wasn’t ready to get married. In an effort to get over him she …

Now we see the introduction of two of Evangelion’s most controversial character additions. These characters at first seem to be nothing more than gag characters to be used in an easy disposable manner, which will become an much deeper base than that. Misato brings Shinji and his classmates to …

Directed by actor Ben Gazzara, who doesn’t appear in the show at all, Columbo: A Friend in Deed has always been one of the outings of this crime drama that I just don’t like. In the first place, none of the guest stars are appealing to me, especially …

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says: “There’s No Free Lunch” is the second regular episode of this detective drama, which is really a comedy in drama’s guise, that stars Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum.
Here are a few observances about this hour of entertainment which, by the way, was both …

This episode shows us what Appa’s been up to since he was kidnapped back in “The Library”. Things didn’t really go so well for him.
He was kidnapped, traded, sold to a circus where the ringmaster was abusive, he managed to escape that only to find that his friends …

Unpredictable, humorous, and creatively natural; this is the most underrated anime ever as it may come off a bit like a teen romantic series. But it really is a comedic delight. Usually my preferences for anime’s are a bit more on the teenage and romantic stories and at first glance …

Broderick Crawford is considered such a legend among TV cops. It’s understandable because in this series, Highway Patrol, he plays such a strong type. He barks out commands in rapid fire speak. He amazes me, in fact. He’s a pretty fast talker, and you have …

The opening teaser in CHiPs: Cry Wolf is memorable and funny, not for the actual plot, but because they show stock footage of Station 51 from Emergency! responding. Then when we get to the scene and it’s a different engine and squad and it’s now numbered ‘519′. …

In the War and Remembrance: The Music of War and Remembrance featurette, Bob Cobert, who did the music for both The Winds of War and the sequel, War and Remembrance, talks about his history with producer Dan Curtis, the producer, director, and co-writer of the mini-series, and how he …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Secret of the Loch, show 30 of the first season, really doesn’t deal with the infamous Loch Ness monster per se. It does take place in Nessie’s part of the woods, and there is a supposed monster that is part …

M*A*S*H: Bombed has the 4077th being bombed by friendly fire. It makes for a lot of humor as the regulars end up in all kinds of crazy situations and have to deal with more than just the usual silliness.
One of the major things that happens is that …

As far as Season Four of Buffy the Vampire Slayer goes, the first episode “The Freshman” is OK because it provides a lead-in of things to come but isn’t the best season premiere I’ve seen.
This episode starts with Buffy starting her first days as a college freshman and, even …

Family Guy is actually a cartoon created by Seth MacFarlane, who most of us will know as the voice of Peter Griffin. It is not one of my favorite shows on the program Adult Swim which comes some nights on the channel Cartoon Network. Nevertheless, I still like to …

From the fourth year of Laramie, one of the best TV westerns ever produced, was Gun Duel. It begins by bringing Jess Harper, beautifully played by Robert Fuller, into the town of Laramie to be acting sheriff for a weekend while Sheriff Mort Corey (Stuart Randall) tends to …

M*A*S*H: Tea and Empathy just isn’t a show that held my interest, not even with all of the various storylines that made up the episode.

After two pretty weak episodes, the show comes back in full force and shows us why this cartoon is still as enjoyable today as it was when we were kids. The episode is pretty much “Ghostbusters in Space” and it makes for quite the entertaining story. Part …

My daughter is still watching Kim Possible episodes I loaded for her recently and I got a chance to watch one with her last night; Bonding.
This was a somewhat cute episode. Kim and Ron are fighting the bad guy Dr. Dementor and end up getting his new bonding ball …

What a change, the actors actually face a survival situation not from man but from space, something that we face everyday. And in m opinion the producer did an excellent job making this episode well thought out. There is one scene that is completely unrealistic, again the Professor uses …

Star Trek returned to television as in animated series in 1973 and included most of the original stars voicing their characters. It really does feel like Kirk et al are out there exploring. Star Trek: Yesteryear is the second episode and was quite wonderful overall to watch.
This …

Prison Break Season 3 Episode 2- Fire/Water
The story continues as Michael tries to figure his way out in the Sona prison. Lincoln’s character is now taking a more active role in the series. I guess that makes sense, since he is on the outside. It’s too bad they made …

One of the things I really like about Due South: Mask is the Indian culture and lore that comprises a big part of the story. I’m always taken with the legends and such that are part of the very rich Indian heritage. This show is full of …

The Virginian: 50 Days to Moose Jaw guest starred James Gregory as Slim Jessup. Gregory is a very talented actor and you never know if he’s going to be a good guy, bad guy, crazy guy, or just funny guy. That’s how good he is. You …
