Sea Hunt: The Sound of Nothing TV Show
Sea Hunt’s third season continued with episode 35 which was called The Sound of Nothing, airing in September 1960. This was another show that focused on the commonalities of space and the ocean. Sea Hunt referred to these similarities quite a bit in earlier shows, but it’s …

The set is attractive, coming in a nice box and with two DVDs per slim …
TV show Peep and the Big Wide World
Peep and the Big Wide World is a wonderful kids’ show on public television. The three main characers are crudely drawn birds in primary colors. There is the somewhat smart but crabby red cardinal/robin Chirp, the hilarious and egotistical blue duck Quack, and the innocent sweet little …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Human Computer TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Human Computer was the 23rd show of the program which starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and my favorite of the show, David Hedison as Captain Lee Crane. The main guest star is Simon Scott, who plays Mister Reston. …
Dancing with the Stars - AU: Top Six Perform TV Show
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see the show from last week. I really love watching this Australian version of Dancing with the Stars, even though I don’t know the celebrities. With the music, costumes, and setup of this series, it’s been fun to catch. I just …
Wagon Train: A Man Called Horse
I have to say I was totally surprised by Wagon Train: A Man Called Horse and not in a good way. The main part of my shock is the main guest star, Ralph Meeker. I don’t know much about Meeker, but I’d always heard he was a …
M*A*S*H: Bombshells
M*A*S*H: Bombshells is a cute little story about a rumor that gets out of hand. Just joking around in the mess tent with Sergeant Max Klinger (Jamie Farr), Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) come up with an impromptu rumor, claiming …
The X-Files: Season 3, Episode 2: Paper Clip
Concluding the three part extravaganza, this episode manages to maintain all of the things that worked about the previous episode, while toning down on the stuff that didn’t. The pseudo-philosophical narration is still here, but it doesn’t play as large a part as it did when Mulder was …
That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy
That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy introduces Don’s sister, Sandy, played by Cloris Leachman. That surprised me. I hadn’t thought of Cloris as being the Hollinger type. She was quite bubbly here, playing a widow who had found a new romance with an …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 1
As I have seen most of the episodes of the first season of show Seven days I knew, more or less, what to expect in seconds season. Actually I was expecting some little improvements because it usually happens that way. Then again, the first episode should also be a …
Adam-12: The Radical
Adam-12: The Radical was a crossover episode with another NBC series called The D.A. That series starred the talented Robert Conrad as Deputy D.A. Paul Ryan. He’s part isn’t that big. As often happens with crossovers, part 1 is on one show and then those stars …
Colin and Justin’s Home Heist
Television is saturated with home improvement and renovation shows so the only way not to become bored is to watch the ones that have some unique aspects to them or to be hosted by designers who have extraordinary skills and personalities. Justin and Colin certainly fit the description of …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Martian TV Show
While watching this February 1992 The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Martian episode, I was never sure where the story was going to lead. I kept making assumptions that proved not to be exactly correct. I liked that and maybe that’s why I kept watching and trying to …
The Simpsons TV Episode: The Cartridge Family
Last night, I finally got to get my Simpsons fix by watching a re-run on network TV. And, I was glad to see it was an episode I have seen in the past and loved; The Cartridge Family.
The episode starts out making fun of soccer (and how Americans think …
One Tree Hill Tv Show
I think I am one of those rare people who really finds that show ridiculous. There’s this bunch of 16 years old kinds who do a bunch of dumb stuff and they treat themselves as they were adults. I know that in my time there was Beverly Hills but …
PBS channel
I have been watching this channel for about an year now. As a mom I find this channel excellent for all age groups. This channel promotes healthly habits and good behaviour in kids. It also has programs related to science,adventure and travel. To list the best, they are: Booh-bah,tele-tubbies,zoom,Arthur,Buster,Caillou,Clifford.

Monk TV show
Monk is a whodunit detective show with a comedic twist and a little light drama all bundled up as an Emmy hit. Tony Shalhoub plays the title character Adrian Monk to perfection.
Adrian Monk is a former San Francisco Police Detective who was decommissioned after his wife was …
A Miser’s Brothers’ Christmas
A Miser’s Brothers’ Christmas is a 2008 sequel to 1974’s awesome, “The Year Without a Santa Claus”. Unfortunately, I’m nowhere near as taken with it as I was with the 1974 entry.
While Mickey Rooney returns as the voice of Santa and pulls it off beautifully, I found most …
Ghost Hunters Halloween Live TV Show
For Halloween 2010, the SyFy Network aired a six hour live broadcast (well, if you were on the east coast anyway) called Ghost Hunters Halloween Live. I tuned in for the entire marathon broadcast and below are a few of my reactions.
–The overall was too much of a …

Law & Order: SVU
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 …
Highway Patrol: The Search TV Show
The first story of the second season of Highway Patrol was called The Search and aired in October 1956. It’s a pretty basic story, I’m afraid. It’s all about a murderer who is trying to avoid capture. He’s a charming sort and manages to get people …
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 …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Haunted House TV Show

That Girl: Paper Hats and Everything
In the commentary for That Girl: Paper Hats and Everything , Marlo Thomas talks about the tenderness of this episode and how her father actually did always take her out on her birthday. It was very special to her. She actually got a little choked up talking …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Naked Now
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Naked Now is just bad. Just plain bad. The first episode to air after the series premier is a comedy show that has very few actually humorous parts and is riddled with nonsensical lines of dialogue tied in with awkward performances. Boy …
The Andy Griffith Show: Convicts-at-Large TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Convicts-at-Large has some funny moments to it, even though it’s not high up on my personal list of favorite episodes. It’s a third-year show that focuses on the bad luck of Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) and Floyd the barber (Howard McNear) end up …
Destination Truth TV Episode: Spirits of Easter Island
Well, last night was the season finale of Destination Truth; Spirits of Easter Island. And, upon reflecting on it a bit, I have to say it was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.
Seeing Easter Island and all those giant heads was pretty cool. But, the investigation really …
Baywatch
Baywatch was a cool show in it’s time and I loved to watch it. I think Baywatch does not get the credit it deserves as all it is really known for is pretty girls running on the beach and when the show first came out it was a …
Rob Dydrek’s fantasy factory
Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory is a show that comes on MTV. It is the same Rob that was in the show Rob and Big. This time he has his own Fantasy Factory. I enjoy watching the show because it makes me laugh from time to time and it is …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Hotel Haunts Unleashed
Synopsis: The TAPS team investigates a hotel in South Dakota that reportedly had a bride leap to her death on her wedding night.
What I liked about this episode: I thought the addition of Jason’s dog, Maddie was an interesting one; simply because it is something you don’t see on …
Psych: From Earth to the Starbucks
I ended up watching another Psych episode I never saw before; From Earth to the Starbucks. It was funny at times, but I have to say it wasn’t the best episode I’ve watched.
Lassiter is feeling down in the dumps a bit and Shawn decides to work a case involving …
The Andy Griffith Show: Man in a Hurry TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Man in a Hurry is absolutely one of the must see episodes of this classic comedy series. It’s arguably the best, or at the very least, in the top 10 of all time best outings for this series.
Man in a Hurry is all about …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man-Beast TV Show
From February 1968, the 20th show of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s last season (it’s fourth) on television, Man-Beast, aired. It’s a show I have mixed feelings about because of the story’s plot. The primary guest star was Lawrence Montaigne, who played a scientist named …
20 on 20
On directtv there are music channels that are xm. Well this channel is called 20 on 20. Overall it’s pretty good. I like some of the other music channels a lot better but they are pretty good. Some times I go to it and they don’t have anything good …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 15: Station Identification
The Ghostbusters find themselves bored as there hasn’t been any business for three weeks. It’s kind of weird how one episode has them exhausted from too much work, and then the next episode, they’re upset that there aren’t any new clients. I guess it’s the nature of …
HBO’s True Blood season three episode seven “Hitting Ground”
After a relatively slow (with the exception of the premiere episode) first half of its third season, “True Blood” seem to finally pick up speed in the seventh episode of the season, where blood flows freely, characters die and alliances change.
The best part of the episode was probably the …
The Virginian: A Man Called Kane TV show
A Man Called Kane is the last episode of the second season of the 90-minute western, The Virginian. I wasn’t really crazy about, which surprised me a little. I’ve said before that growing up I didn’t like this show at all. I found The Virginian to …
Stargate SG-1: Red Sky
For me, Stargate SG-1: Red Sky shows how far Jack has progressed. In season four, there was a lot of criticism about how the Jack and Daniel friendship had been shoved to the side, and also how the show was veering away from exploration and turning into a …
Crowned tv show
A new reality tv show is starting! This is the premiere of Crowned: The Mother of all Pageants. The name of the show is hilarious. I am so excited for this show to start. I have been seeing advertisements on television all month long for the start of this …
