Burn Notice: Bad Blood

The Golden Girls
This review is about a show that is near and dear to my heart. I don’t often get “hooked” on a tv show, much less feel the need to watch the episodes over and over. In fact, more often than not, I turn the channel to a …

CHARMED, a T.V. SERIES
I like to watch an excellent show, if I am going to take the time out to watch television. I have found that ‘Charmed’, is one of those kind of shows that is a series, yet, has a start and a finish to each show. I like that. …
House: Poison
Ironically, my interest in the show House didn’t come during the first few episodes of the series; it was a show later in the series entitled “Poison.”
The interesting thing about this episode is they don’t have to solve one case, they have to solve two; even though both the …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Darling Baby TV Show

Spongebob Squarepants Season Two - The fry cook games

The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk TV Show

Afro Samurai
I recently had the chance to watch the five episodes of the Manga-like action Anime titled Afro Samurai, and must admit it was one of the best anime I have seen for a long time now.
The story evolves under a Japanese Tech setting, whilst at the same time, a …
John Doe season 1 episode 5 John Deux

Stargate SG-1: Crystal Skull
Stargate SG-1: Crystal Skull is an excellent episode of this great science fiction series. It brings a bit of personal into the mission picture as Daniel Jackson’s maternal grandfather is an intricate part of the story.
The essence of Stargate SG-1: Crystal Skull is that Daniel gets out of …
The Andy Griffith Show: Runaway Kid TV Show

In the second episode of the fourth season Ryan returns for the first time since he has been promoted to corporate and it is every bit as awkward as you might expect, but not quite as funny. Perhaps the humor of simple awareness has begun to grow stale on …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Jealousy (Episode)
“Jealousy” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode follows a pretty standard formula that I imagine, at the time, hadn’t been done to death like it has by now. In this episode, Rob ends up working late several nights with a beautiful woman that is …
Real Chance at Love (VH1 TV show)
This has to be the most ignorant show on television. First of all, I cannot believe that this show even exists. But it exists all because of Flavor Flav. If he had not had that stupid show Flavor of Love, then New York would never have …
The Forgotten - Football John
While the second and third issues of this new ABC crime drama haven’t been as good as the pilot, they’ve still been entertaining and have held my interest. This third entry, Football John, was quite interesting.
For me, the main thrust of The Forgotten - Football John was to …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Man Who Wouldn’t Talk
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Man Who Wouldn’t Talk from season two is highly entertaining. It even brought on chuckles, especially when Charles Bronson is asking Richard Boone for advice on how to be romantic. There’s a great bit concerning Cyrano de Bergerac. One of …
Star Trek: Beyond the Farthest Star TV Show
Star Trek: Beyond the Farthest Star is the first of the animated Star Trek episodes produced in 1973. It takes a little getting used to, seeing the quirks of the animated series, as in more animated characters from other species, but the essence of Trek is still there.

The Twilight Zone: The Last Night of a Jockey TV Show
The fact that it’s the fifth season really shows for The Twilight Zone. There are several shows in a row that I just don’t like, and The Last Night of a Jockey from October 1963 is another one of them. The stories had some good actors, but …

The Virginian: The Awakening TV Show
As I understand it, Roberta Shore, who played Betsy Garth on The Virginian from the beginning, left the series to get married and retired from show business. In this fourth season, her character would be turning 20, so that’s definitely marrying age. I am very glad they …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder by the Book TV Show

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother
When I saw the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother on cable the other night, I had to watch it. Gene Wilder in his directorial debut is always something that’s going to attract my attention. However, I found I was very disappointed in the movie.
Wilder made a good effort …
Home Improvement: To Build or Not to Build
I was watching the tail end of a Home Improvement episode today at lunch “To build or Not to build” and will say I was very impressed with it.
