About the first thing I noticed about Have Gun - Will Travel: A Sense of Justice is that once again Karl Swenson is guest starring. He really did a bunch of these shows. I feel like he’s in every third episode. I’m sure that’s an exaggeration, …

The Dean Martin Show Classics: Volume 2 continues showing excerpts from various episodes of The Dean Martin Show. I love the same thing about this volume that I do the first one, and that is that it shows whole segments and portions of the show without talking over …

Cowboy Bebop Episode 12 begins with Faye Valentine taking all Spike’s, Jet’s, and Ed’s money and taking off. Jet decides to go look for Faye while Spike decides to go look for someone named Julia.
This was a great episode and it was fantastic. The story was …

From season two, the Jettisoned episode of Sea Hunt occurs after Hurricane Teresa. This adventure series tends to use hurricanes a lot to help the plot of a show. In this case, during the hurricane a pilot had released a nuclear bomb into the ocean for safety …

In January of 1963, The Andy Griffith Show aired a show called The Loaded Goat. The funny thing to me is that because of the way the show is edited for television in reruns, I had stopped watching this episode. I never knew the outcome of the …

Episode 3 of the first season of Stargate was an episode called “Emancipation”. Now, a lot of folks don’t like this one, but I adore it. There are just some awesome moments in it that can’t be ignored.
The highlight and must-see moment of this story is early …

Diagnosis Murder: Murder by the Book revolved around a new book that was written in part by an old friend of the Sloans. To Mark’s shock, the book isn’t about recipes but sex stories. That results in some funny moments, but the real story is about the …

Quite honestly, I wasn’t as thrilled with Diagnosis Murder: How to Murder Your Lawyer as others might have been. Something about it just didn’t connect with me. I actually wonder if this might have been a pilot for another series. From the start, it felt more …

M*A*S*H: Officer of the Day focuses on Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) being the officer of the day, whether he wants to be or not, and of course, he doesn’t want to be the man in charge. Having no choice, though, he wanders the camp, doing his duties as …

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 …

The pretense continues in Due South with the new guy pretending to be Ray Vecchio and Benton Fraser throwing him a party because it’s the real Ray’s birthday and the real Ray always had a party. The episode is called Eclipse.
Due South: Eclipse gives us the backstory and …

The Virginian: A Bride for Lars had a lot of good things going for this western outing, but it as fun as some moments were, there was a lot of just plain stupid, mainly in how the character of Trampas (Doug McClure) acted.
The basic setup for the 90 minutes …

Let me say this upfront and let me be perfectly clear. I watched this episode on the internet and then when it aired on television. I will never, ever watch it again, unless it is to make an edited copy, but I just don’t even see me …

Discovery Science TV-series “Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman” raises thought provoking questions about our universe. Freeman presents what is termed as the latest research about what the unuiverse really is like and our place within it. This is fine, but there is a lack of distance to the …

While this episode of Psych wasn’t quite as good as many others, I will admit Lights, Camera, Homicidio was a cute one.
Shawn is on site at a Latin soap opera trying to solve a murder and ends up joining the cast of the show. His role was actually …

On the Run- Globetrotter
This is yet another great episode of the show On the Run- the show that tells the stories of real life sophisticated and unusual criminals, most of which love to live the high life on someone else’s money.
In this episode we get to hear the story …

Season three of Stargate SG-1 ends with the first of a two-part that sadly indicates a shift in the show that ultimately began its downhill slide. Many fans consider the first three years of the show to be the vintage years. Sadly, I agree with them.
The unfortunate …

I don’t watch this Supernatural television series, so I don’t even know the setup of the story. All I really know is that it’s a science fiction series that airs on the CW network at the moment. However, I had to watch this episode because Michael Shanks …

I love Stargate SG-1: Revisions. It’s one of my favorites, and I really can’t tell you why, except I get a kick out of it. I love the little town where they filmed the show; it was so cute and quaint.
Actually, what I see Stargate SG-1: Revisions, …

Super Mario World - “A Little Learning” is not one of my favorite episodes of the series. That is actually an understatement as I really do not care for this episode. The plot simply did not quite interest me. In this episode, Princess Toadstool opens a school and the …

Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 15, 2010 was another waste of time for me. This was just their third show, but again, I have to ask what the point is in watching two immature females trying to control the airwaves?
Alexis is this tall blonde who appears …

The great thing about “My Name is Earl” is that mixed in with all the humor there are real messages about responsibility. One of the recurring themes is that small things that you do can have major effects on people’s lives.
On the episode “Stole Beer from a Golfer” they …

Centennial: The Wagon and the Elephant is all about Levi Zendt and the Amish ways. Levi has a touch of rebellion in him and when he gets falsely accused of something and is shunned, he doesn’t take it lying down. Gregory Harrison plays Levi admirably.
We also meet …

Early on in The Virginian: The Golden Door, Judge Henry Garth (Lee J. Cobb) gives his daughter “a nerve tonic” which instantly makes her feel better. I have to wonder what a western version of a nerve tonic is. That really has little to do with the …

“My Son’s Enormous Head” is the episode of Two And A Half Men originally airing on CBS on March 16, 2009. This was a sub par episode with few real big laughs.
Pros: The episode attempts to force Charlie into seeming more like a real person with feelings …

Something new from Ricky Gervais. I recall the first time I saw him on the 11 o’clock show on Channel 4 and I thought he was one of the worst t.v comedians that I had seen. The office brought him back for me though and everything else since, especially …

It’s a show about romance and misunderstandings, along with Barney’s normal over confidence. That’s what The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt from May 1964 deals with. I actually love the opening scene where Barney and Thelma Lou are window shopping, essentially talking about their …

Jules Munshin returns for another appearance on the third season of That Girl. The last time he played a window washer and this time he’s Ann Marie’s agent. However, that’s a continuity glitch again since Seymour the agent was mentioned already in season three.
Early on in That …

“Once a Friend” is an episode of “The Jeffersons” and in the episode, George visits a hotel room where he believes an old friend from his Navy days is staying. His friend was always pulling pranks and kidding around during the war, so when the door opens and instead …

“The Most Extreme”, on Animal Planet, is a show you can watch with your kids, because it will fascinate and educate both adults and children. Every episode deals with certain special characteristics animals have and they narrow it down to a list of ten animals that exhibit the …

This was the first and possibly the most gothic out of all of the episodes. Never have I seen such a unique twist of ironic comedy and such bitter truth. Fantasy blends with truth. Truth collides with religion. This is certainly an unusual show. Ichigo, the hero of …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Soledad Crossing was the last show of the fourth season. Perhaps that is why it opened with a huge kiss for series star, Richard Boone. His Paladin was having a nice time in his San Francisco hotel. What I did think …

When I watch Laramie: Dark Verdict, I can’t help but think about actor L.Q. Jones, who plays a friend of Jess Harper’s. At one point, his character is about to be hung. The reason I remember this is because I have some photo proofs that were taken …

We all have that quirky relative who say the most outrageous things. Instead of being exasperated, Justin Halpern instead chose to make money out of the outrageous things his opinionated father said. Shit My Dad Says started out as a twitter feed which went viral after a friend …

I really enjoy this show - I like the idea of using statistics and other forms of math to solve major crimes, and actually have a friend of mine who works in crime profiling, which I think is pretty cool.
The relationship between the characters is that Don Epps, an …

The Walking with Dinosaurs series aired on the Discovery Channel. It consisted of a weeklong miniseries and several specials made afterwards. The Giant Claw was one of them. In this special, a nature show host pretended to go back in time and see the dinosaurs. …

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 …

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? 10th Anniversary Special - Night Eleven was perhaps my favorite night of the eleven night special run of the iconic show. There are a few reasons why I consider this to be one of the anniversary’s best shows. First of all, I would …

Stargate SG-1: Desperate Measures has its moments, but it’s another story that is Earth-based and not really a big favorite.
Among the pluses is another appearance by Tom McBeath as Harry Maybourne, and that means some good Jack and Harry craziness. The two characters have a crazy connection and …

Being Erica is a television series in based and filmed in Canada. It’s about Erica a woman who thinks she has made many mistakes in life. So luckily for her she has the chance to go back and change the mistakes in her life and see how …

This episode was a blast to watch. Oddly enough, the Ghostbusters themselves take a backseat. They’re pretty much along for the ride as a crew of ghost pirates, or were they pirate ghosts? What was the difference again? Whatever, the ghost crew arrives in New York …

The Pied Piper episode of Bring ‘Em Back Alive isn’t about the old fairytale,though I wish it were. The setting for this show is 1939 Malaya. I may have actually seen this episode before, or else this is a retread of another show I’ve seen. I …

So the Christmas special episode of the series Sherlock has been dominating the internet since its outbreak. Sherlock is the modern adaptation of the book Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the 1800s and the series’ Sherlock Holmes is no other than Benedict Cumberbatch who really became more …

You know what, I had a lot of hope for last night’s Ghost Hunters episode at Essex County Penitentary. After all, they had Josh Gates (from Destination Truth) helping them out so you would think they would find something. But, it was actually a bit disappointing.
First of all, why …
