Gargoyles Episode 2.3 Legion
This episode marks the return of Coldstone, once again voiced by Michael Dorn. Anything that has the voicework of Dorn and Keith David can’t be bad.
This show has been of stellar quality from the get go and this episode is no different. The buildup to Coldstone’s schizophrenic breakdown …
Snoops: Twice Dead TV Show
Margaret Avery and Stephen Elliott guest starred in the Twice Dead episode of the short-lived TV series called Snoops. In fact, it didn’t even last an entire season. I’m not surprised because I was pretty bored by the whole thing. The only unique thing about this …

From season three, Wagon Train: The Larry Hanify Story guest starred Tommy Sands. Sands was a popular singer and actor at this point. Unfortunately, he ended up being an outcast and it cost his career for many years. He just got involved with the wrong person. …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment takes a bit of a tragic turn for my favorite, Lt. Simon Adams (Richard Dean Anderson). There’s some fun moments early on, but then something happens that disturbs him greatly, so much so that he is given a ten-day leave.
Back …
Mr. Monk and the Leper
I am a huge fan of the television series Monk. However, Friday’s episode, Mr. Monk and the Leper was a bit of a disappointment.
While the show still kept most of it’s trademark comedy, the episode seemed to lack a lot of the mystery that has kept it a top …

Semi-Homemade Cooking With Sandra Lee is a Food Network cooking show. Sandra Lee is a hoot and her food dishes are easy to prepare. The semi-homemade part of her food show title is just that: you can prepare dishes at home with items that are already prepared, making your …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Root of It All
There’s added enjoyment to Alias Smith and Jones: The Root of It All and that comes from the main guest star of the episode. Judy Carne, perhaps best known from Laugh-In and being the first wife of Burt Reynolds, appears here as Leslie O’Hara. However, it’s Carne’s …
MacGyver: For Love or Money

Magician’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed!
When I saw this one being aired earlier on television, I perked up and immediately turned the volume up as I was dying to catch this on air and I had only missed 5 minutes of the entire 1 hour feature on AXN. I was wondering how the magician …
Hawaii Five-O: Full Fathom Five
Full Fathom Five was the first regular episode of the Hawaii Five-O dramatic series, and with it came the addition of James McArthur as Danny Williams. What I really like about this first interaction that we see between Danny and Five-O head, Steve McGarrett, is that it’s not …
Fireball XL5: The Last of the Zanadus
In Fireball XL5: The Last of the Zanadus, Colonel Steve Zodiac’s envious apartment is shown here. While Venus’ home is more cozy, his has an air of sophistication to it. Naturally, Venus is cooking the big meal, which is in honor of a friend who has returned …
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 …
M*A*S*H: War of Nerves
M*A*S*H: War of Nerves focuses on the troops of the 4077th just getting plain tired and sick of the war. They’re on the edge, frustrated, miserable, lonely, irritable, and all kinds of adjectives that scream they want out. Everyone is driving one another batty, and there just …
South Park: Pee
This episode, entitled “Pee”, was the last episode of the thirteenth season, and offered nothing that made me want to come back for season fourteen. The plot revolves around the kids in town going to a water park that has too many people peeing in its pools. Soon, the …
Peter, Paul, and Mary - Carry it On
I grew up listening to Peter, Paul, and Mary sing their folk music. They were awesome. I watched when they broke up, and then when they got back together. In the last couple of decades, the group has done a number of specials for the PBS …
Masquerade: Pilot
In late 1983, the pilot episode of Masquerade aired, and I really enjoyed it. There were actually only a few episodes aired. It just didn’t last long, and I recall being very disappointed by that. The show starred Rod Taylor as a CIA-type intelligence agent who …
Judge lynn Toler
Judge Lynn Toler is on a show called Divorce court on channel 9. While the show just might be another court show, the judge presiding over the cases Lynn Toler is a real fresh of air. She shows her compassion as a mother and as a woman. …
That Girl - Season Five DVD set
The That Girl - Season Five DVD set is a nice conclusion to the series. With it, each and every That Girl episode has been placed on DVD and available for fans to view anytime they wish. As a fan, I like that. I plan on …
M*A*S*H: Bombed
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 …
M*A*S*H: Officer of the Day

The Prisoner: Fall Out
The Prisoner: Fall Out is the final episode of this single-season series, and my understanding is that there was all kind of outrage because of how it ended. I’ve read that McGoohan actually left England to get away from the complaints. That’s hard to imagine, so …
Phineas and Ferb: Raging Bully
Well, that was a cute episode of the cartoon Phineas and Ferb. I wasn’t expecting much from an episode entitled Raging Bully and about thumb wrestling but it ended up being much better than I expected. In fact, I think it was downright entertaining.
Basically, in this episode, Phineas finds …
Hannah Montana
Like I have said in my previous reviews I have three children so I am forced to watch the variety of childrens television on the market today. I absolutly love Hannah Montana. The show is very humorous and somewhere in the show I find my self cracking up. I …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Reel World of Frank Buck
The Reel World of Frank Buck concerns a documentary maker who wants to get footage of Buck in action in this episode of Bring ‘Em Back Alive from 1985. Bruce Boxleitner stars as Buck, but I’m not impressed with him at all. He’s never been an actor …
Til Debt Do Us Part
This is a fun show that I think I learn a lot from. While a lot of the advice is not necessarily applicable to my life, it’s interesting to see what other people have done and what the solution is.
There is of course a certain sense of humour …

Columbo: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set basically follows the same suit as the fourth season set. That equals an adequate presentation by Universal, one that is better than what they did with the season 3 set, but not as wonderful as the first season set.
The fifth season …
Wagon Train: The Geneva Balfour Story
The Geneva Balfour Story of Wagon Train had a very nice cast, including Peter Brown, Sherry Jackson, and Robert Lansing. It’s one of the more intense stories of the seventh season. The weather is scorching, and the supplies for crossing the terrain are low in numbers. …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Symbiosis
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Symbiosis is one of the blander episodes from the first season and only a mildly interesting Prime Directive story. I also feel that the dialogue at times is a little awkward and forced, like during the conversation of Lt. Yar and Acting Ensign …

M*A*S*H: The Consultant
This episode should have been a letter from Hawkeye Pierce to his father, considering that Alan Alda’s real father, Robert Alda, guest stars in this episode. M*A*S*H: The Consultant has Hawkeye and Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) in Tokyo for a seminar, which they have no intention of …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: And So Died Riabouchinska TV Show
Oh no. It’s another story about a ventriloquist and his wooden doll, this one a female. I really don’t like these stories. I recently watched all of The Twilight Zone and there were several shows of this theme there. Then there was one on Mrs. …
A Mind to Murder
From 1995, A Mind to Murder is another P.D. James novel put onto film which stars Roy Marsden. Marsden has made a career out of portraying Commander Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard. It’s unusual to see someone play the same role so many times, but I …
Peep Show
This is such an amazing program, not really one for the mainstream but if you like alternative humor then this is for you.
The way its filmed is extremely clever as if viewed through the eyes of the person talking(or listening) and centers around flat mates Mark and Jez.
Its now …
Stargate SG-1: Past and Present
Talk about poorly placed timing, the powers that be at Stargate SG-1 made a very bad choice. My understanding is that the episode called Past and Present was supposed to be either earlier or later in the season. After being tossed around the season schedule, it had …
Angel Episode 1.2: Lonely Hearts
Being only the second episode of the series. It stands to reason that this episode is more straight forward. A serial killer (demonic of course) is killing people using a local singles bar as a buffet table.
I think they overdid the whole “we’re not in …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Something Blue

Felicity TV Show
I have to say I don’t like the television series Felicity, it’s kind of a weak show with weak writers and weak characters. For me there is not a lot about this series to like unfortunately.
The overall plot is one I don’t like. I don’t like the …
