That Girl: Fly Me to the Moon
Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to work in an ad campaign for the Air Force promoting women in the service in That Girl: Fly Me to the Moon. Robert Colbert, who I always recall mostly from Time Tunnel, appears as Major Brian James. He ends up jetting …
Twilight Zone Ssn 1: Ep. Walking Distance
The Twilight Zone is a classic television series that has seen many incarnations, but the old ones are the best. The show featured a collection of tales that concerned the supernatural. Often there was a twist ending and a lesson to be learned from each of them. This …
The Simpsons: Tree House of Horror XX
I have watched pretty much every Simpsons Tree House of Horrors episode since the first one and have been very disappointed with some of the more recent episodes. My biggest complaint is they often use some sort of movie spoof of a film that isn’t even a horror movie …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Beau Geste TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Beau Geste, the fifth episode of the sixth and final season of this western series, is one I’ve seen a couple of times in recent history, but which I just can’t grab onto for some reason. Something about it doesn’t work in retaining …
Star Trek: The City on the Edge of Forever TV Show
Star Trek: The City on the Edge of Forever is probably the most classic and well produced episode in the entire original series. It’s received much acclaim over the years and is fondly thought of by fans. From April 1967, this episode features Joan Collins as Sister …
CSI S7 E9

A sunken car that belonged to a 70s mob king Mickey Dunn was finally discovered at a river by a Mexican fisherman. The evidence shows that was killed by a bullet at the head from a close range. In the next few days strange …
Ghost Hunters: Mordecai House
Wow, who would have thought the Ghost Hunters Episode “Mordecai House” would turn out to be a big waste of time? After all, you have a house that is supposedly very haunted and a second investigation on a world war II battleship. But, that’s exactly what happened.
The first investigation …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Handler TV Show
From October 1992, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Handler was a bit on the weird side, though not so odd that it turned me off. Even as I state this remark, though, I know that it’s not the kind of show that normally appeals to me. I’m …
Scrubs: Our First Day of School
I kind of lost track of Scrubs about midway through the last season. My DVR wasn’t working and there are way too many shows on to watch. I had read that they were going to renew the show for another season, even though most of the cast …
Lost: LaFleur
This episode of Lost, which originally aired on March 4, 2009, is another step forward in advancing the plot of the series towards next year’s final season. After four years of teasing viewers with tiny snippets of information, J.J Abrams finally begins to reveal the secrets that have eluded …
American Idol - 3/17/09
Another week of musical performances, and I’m going to start with Adam Lambert. Now, the guy can sing, but it’s Country Week. I don’t really care that he wanted to be true to himself and who he is. It’s Country week, so sing country. It …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fear-Makers TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fear-Makers, the third episode of the science fiction series, begins with an experiment that goes awry, costing lives and the destruction of another sub that Admiral Nelson (Richard Basehart) had built. It’s all about how far down the subs can …
Boy Meets World
Boy Meets World was a cool show. I watched it religiously when I was a kid and I loved it. It was about a boy named Cory, his best friend Shawn and his friend who later became his girlfriend Topanga.
I think Boy Meets World is the kind …
Stargate SG-1: The Pegasus Project
Stargate SG-1: The Pegasus Project is the best show of season ten and my rating is going to pretend that the Vala character doesn’t exist. Any time she shows up, it drags the show down to a zero, so when I can, I’m going to ignore her, and …
Highway Patrol: Trailer Story TV Show
Trailer Story is the third outing for Highway Patrol’s third season. Starring Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, the head of the California Highway Patrol, this story is the search for a killer.
As far as the production quality goes, it was pretty good. I didn’t really have …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 14
Every so often there’s an episode from the Law and Order franchise that disturbs you and makes you feel uncomfortable. For me that was this episode of Criminal Intent. The episode starts out calmly enough, with a man trying to raise money, though he doesn’t say what. He tries …
Junkyard Wars
You can never think of how useful junk could be, before you watch junkyard wars ! The useless looking cars, with antique looks, and parts missing, can be combined with intellect and passion, to make a competitive assembly of sports car, and the machinery can even be used for make …
Hawaii Five-O: Pray Love Remember, Pray Love Remember
My favorite part of Hawaii Five-O: Pray Love Remember, Pray Love Remember is about a third of the way in when McGarrett has a conversation with a young girl named Mioshi. McGarrett’s been investigating a murder at an educational institute and is still searching for clues. While …
Adam-12 Season 3 DVD Set
Thank goodness for Shout Factory. Because of them, the Adam-12 Season 3 DVD Set is available for purchase, and that’s a great thing. While I don’t always like the way Shout Factory organizes their various sets, I’m grateful that they are making shows available that Universal Studios …
Medium: Talk to the Hand TV Show
Medium: Talk to the Hand had a very different beginning. The opening teaser has Alison with Mr. Bill about safety. Mr. Bill was such a contemporary figure a couple of decades back. I was never that amused with him, but once you see him, it’s hard …
M*A*S*H: Morale Victory
Every now and then, the powers that be at this incredibly wonderful wartime comedy give us a show dealing with how down and out the personnel can get. M*A*S*H: Morale Victory is one of these episodes. The troops at the 4077th are tired of the war going …
Here Come the Brides (pilot)
Here Come the Brides is one of my all-time favorite TV series. I just love it. It’s full of love, family, warmth, adventure, drama, romance, and even action. It’s the story of the Bolt Brothers and how they bring 100 brides from New Bedford, Massachusetts to …
Street Hawk: The Unsinkable 453
Street Hawk: The Unsinkable 453 bored me more than anything else. It started out being about a prisoner who may or may not really be who people thought. From there, it got even more flat for me. There just wasn’t one piece of this episode that …
The Simpsons: He Loves to Fly and He Doh’s
That was a cute episode of the Simpson’s last night. I have seen parts of He Loves to Fly and He Doh’s but last night was the first time I have seen the entire episode.
I want to start out by saying I loved the intro to this episode; which …
QVC (television)
Few television shows piss me off as much as QVC. I find it to be a completely idiotic way of marketing a product and more likely than not, I would go out of my way not to purchase a product advertised on their broadcasts. First of all, …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Hail to the Chief, the 16th show, has the Commander-in-Chief suffering from a serious fall right before he’s suppose to attend a huge NATO event. This means the Seaview has to help get him where he needs to be while ensuring …
The Virginian: The Decision TV Show
This sixth season episode of The Virginian which was called The Decision was one I enjoyed a lot. One of the reasons the March 1968 went over so well with me is that three of the guest stars are people who I feel a connection to in one …
The Bold and the Beautiful
Now this is one day time television series that I have known to exist since I could first understand what was going on in the world and I am of the understanding that it was around long before I was born, with certain characters having played the same roles …
My So Called Life
My So-Called Life was a television show in the nineties. When I first saw the show I was about twelve years old and so this show was about the right age range for me.
When I watched My So-Called Life as a little girl I was enthralled. It …
Project Runway
Every year, Project Runway tries to find challenges to trip up even its best designers. And, having the contestants design ring attire for the Divas of Monday Night Raw was definitely an interesting twist.
My wife does some sewing and I’ve seen her struggle with simple spandex outfits. So, trying …
Jeremiah: The Complete First Season DVD set
Jeremiah: The Complete First Season is a nice DVD collection. The artwork is attractive with nice imaging of the series stars, Luke Perry and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. The set includes six disks. It’s presented like a book that opens out in both directions. You fold each …

Stargate SG-1: Orpheus
The next episode of Stargate SG-1 in season seven is Orpheus. Now, I have an issue with the final scene, and that issue keeps me from watching this episode as often as I would otherwise. The other thing is that this show refers to Daniel’s ascension, and …
CSI: Miami: Dead on Arrival TV Show
CSI: Miami: Dead on Arrival aired in 2009. The thing is that I don’t watch CSI: Miami on a regular basis. The last time I watched it intentionally was when Michael Shanks guest starred on an outing called Payback. Before that, I think I checked out …
NCIS: Untouchable Season 3, Episode 20
When NCIS goes looking for a mole in the Pentagon, they find a dead Lieutenant instead. All fingers point to the dead Lieutenant and her suicide, however, NCIS is not convinced it was a suicide.
This was a very interesting case and one that I could not figure out. …
TV Show: 30 Minute Meals
30 Minute Meals is one of Food Network’s most popular shows. Rachael Ray is the cook/host and she rocks! She comes up with 30 minute meals with simple instructions, easy to find items, and a new, creative twist on old or slow cooking meals. I love all of her …
Law and Order: SVU
OK, two questions. First of all, I thought Law & Order SVU was supposed to be about sex crimes and, secondly, is this the month we feature each of Stabler’s kids?
The episode “Lunacy” was actually one of the worst episodes of this series I’ve seen. OK, you have a …
Deal or no Deal the TV show
Deal or Deal is a pretty cool game show that has a lot of things entertaining about it and the first thing would be the concept of the game which all people is pick out a suitcase and hope there isn’t big money in it which I love because …
Spooks: 8.02
The new series of Spooks continues and picks up pace after the rather lacklustre first outing of this latest run.

In this episode, an …
Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 4 Results TV Show
This review centers around the Week 4 results for the 11th season of Dancing With the Stars, which for the most part has been a pretty exciting season. I must admit that has been a surprise. I hadn’t expected all that much from the series this year. …
The Simpsons: Apocalypse Cow
Well, that was a somewhat funny episode of The Simpsons last night; Apocalypse Cow. At least we finally got to get a better understanding of Cletus and his redneck family in this one.
Bart joins 4-H and ends up raising a calf to adulthood and even wins an award for …
That 70s Show TV Episode: Babe I’m Going to Leave You
I finally got a chance to see an episode of That 70s Show that I haven’t seen before; Babe I’m Going to Leave You.
This episode takes place shortly after Kitty’s father dies and after Jackie, seeing Kelso with his California girlfriend (Jessica Simpson), blurts out that he’s still her …

Bones the TV Series
This is my all-time favorite TV shows. I am waiting impatiently for September 17, 2009 for the announced premiere date of Season 5. Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) works side by side with Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) in solving FBI crimes where the remains are bones. This is based …
Sirius Hair Nation
I am a huge fan of 1980’s hair bands. So when I bought satellite tv and it came with a huge list of music channels, I was extatic to find out that a whole channel was dedicate to music from big hair bands from the 80’s.
I have always …
Eastenders TV
I love, love, love watching Eastenders on BBC1. The argument, the tears the drama! And it always happens a big family do, like a wedding, at Xmas or of course in the Queen Vic!
I remember curling up on the sofa when I was a kid and it first started, …
