There seems to be an influx of programs on television today that focus on crime and criminals. This one focuses on the actual jail experience. This is a nice twist because most reality shows center on what goes on prior to the crime occurring, or while …

Some sitcoms get their humor from doing the unexpected. Some get their humor because they’re so true to life. The Office is actually both.
I absolutely love The Office, partly because it’s so realistic. I mean, I’ve really worked with people like this — well, almost like this, anyway. The …

I love this episode of The Fugitive called Escape into Black. Kimball is injured going after the one-armed man and wakes up without his memory. Ivan Dixon is his by-the-book doctor and Betty Garrett plays his assistant. Garrett becomes intrigued by the patient. She actually …

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Ambush (Episode 1)
This is the first episode of “The Clone Wars” TV series. So far it is also my favorite episode, even though it’s mainly about Master Yoda. This picture shows us why he’s a Master Jedi, how clever and wise he really is. …

Ok, I was in for another treat here. The episode is one of the best because Kurt Russell guest acts as a 15 year old jungle boy. My, I can not believe how young he is in this show. And Gilligan finally finds someone more playful and active as …

There’s an odd thing that I noticed in That Girl: That Senorita. It’s the fifth season and while things began to ease up in the fourth season, in this one things are definitely looser in tone and style. It’s a sign of the times in which That …

I ended up watching Home Improvement at lunch today because Hogan’s Heroes wasn’t on. It was a somewhat funny episode: “Mr. Wilson’s Opus.”
Basically, Randy convinces Wilson to direct Romeo & Juliet for their school play and Wilson agrees and Tim agrees to design the set. The only problem is, …

The first thing that came to mind when I watched this episode was, “That was really weird, even for sci-fi.” Not really a good weird, either. The one good thing? Mayborne is baaaack.
When SG1 tries to depart on a mission, the Stargate shuts down during the …

The average fan of “Weeds,” tangled in the murky abyss of a dyspeptic and almost certainly unnecessary sixth season of the Showtime dramedy, will feel about a trillion miles away from everything/anything that made the show enjoyable to begin with. But this is OK, …

When the news of a cease fire leaks out, the 4077th begins to party. M*A*S*H: Ceasefire deals with how each of the unit deals with the news that the fighting might be over and they could soon be going home. Of particular interest to the subtle funny …

Tonight was the first time I saw the House episode “Informed Consent” and, while I have no idea in which season this one took place in, it reminded me of how great this show used to be before they started tampering with the cast and throwing in little side …

Maybe its just me, but this fall season a new show called Jericho is on prime time television and I have attempted to watch the show three times now and I have not a clue what the main idea is. I get the idea that the town has …

Cliff …

Since Phineas Bogg was a pirate, it makes since that a show would be done about pirates and that came to pass with Voyagers!: Old Hickory and the Pirate, which aired during the November sweeps season of 1982. In this case, it’s all about Jean Lafitte being accused …

Carmen Mathews portrays Colonel Lillian Rayburn, the Lil of the title, in M*A*S*H: Lil. This seventh season show shows a budding relationship between Lil, who is visiting to check out how the nurses are doing at the 4077th, and Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan). They even go on a …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was an epic show, it’s one of those things that has lasted forever and has a lot fo fans and I am one of them. I’ve watched the show since it began and I have seen every episode in every season.
I have to say …

I wasn’t going to watch tonight’s episode of Psych. I’ve had a long day and wasn’t really feeling like staying up to watch it. But, my wife is out of town and she asked me to record it for her. Since I had to have the TV on to …

Laramie: Ladies Day continued to set up the ‘new’ Laramie. There was a desire to return the series to that family setup which it had had originally in season one. Because of the cast departures of Hoagy Carmichael and Robert Crawford Jr. in the second season, the …

For the 3rd round of The Great British Bake Off, the contest was down to 6 cooks. This outing was held in Kent with the focus on bread. Also, only one baker will be eliminated from now on.
Challenge 1 was the signature bake where the bakers rely …

With interest in the Uefa Champions League touching all corners of the earth, a weekly show like the Uefa Champions League Magazine, which rounds up all the previous week’s exploits is a welcome necessity for me, and something that has become a huge part of my football lifestyle.
I think …

CSI: New York: Sangre por Sangra just isn’t my kind of show. These gang stories are a dime a dozen, and there rarely is any kind of new spin to them. For me, the hour was drudgery. Basically, a gang leader is murdered and the CSI …

This episode starts with really great music; the beginning is really strong and dynamic.
While arresting members of a prostitution chain the detectives from 125 find a council man in one of the rooms with a prostitute. Annie and Ray are left at the crime scene to take the statements …

When I saw the Ghost Hunters episode “I am Not Guilty” was going to visit Dr. Mudd’s house (the doctor who worked on John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated Lincoln), I thought I would get yet another episode that had potential based on the stories surrounding the building but …

I’m starting to wonder why I bothered renting the second season of the show Ghost Hunters. I say this because I’m two disks into the season now and have yet to see anything convincing. The sixth (or seventh) episode of the show “The Ledge Lighthouse” once again proves to …

SG1 arrives on a planet, expecting to see an eclipse or rather the singularity of one. Daniel doesn’t understand what is so important about it, but Carter is psyched. However, when they arrive on the planet, her enthusiasm is dampened when they find everyone on the planet, …

I waited a long time for the new season of NCIS Los Angeles. The last season was intentionally cut in mid story. Unexpectedly and mysteriously, Hetty resigns from her post and goes to Romania to close some unfinished business. Of course, what she did is so absurd that …

“COPS” airs on Fox and each episode revolves around the daily experiences of police officers, as they go out on their patrols. I’m sure that, realistically-speaking, there are moments in a cop’s day that are very routine or mundane, but “COPS” focuses on the more dramatic aspects of …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - “All Good Things…” Part One is the second to last episode of the series. The series finale for the show is centered around Captain Picard and his sudden and unexpected shifts through time. Now, I can see why the writers went with this …

That was a really, but really boring episode. I did not enjoy it at all. I don’t know what they were thinking when they were writing it. Not only that nothing really happens in there, but the whole story just is not quite believable.
In the first story line, …

Unfortunate the show “The Wonderpets” on Noggin is something that could be a good idea if they had developed it further. The issue is that there are only about five episodes. I mean, how many times can the stupid cow get stuck in a tree with a tornado on …

There’s always something humorous about seeing the proverbial duck out of a water, someone thrown into something that isn’t their element, and as the title here — Have Gun - Will Travel: The Englishman — notes, this story from season one is about an Englishmen who comes to the …

Band of Brothers Episode 10 Points is the final episode of the HBO Home Entertainment miniseries Band of Brothers and shows the members of Easy Company learning about who gets to return home and who has to stay to fight in the Pacific against the Japanese.
This was a very …

An actress I always enjoy watching is Susan Gibney. She has a compelling aura surrounding her and makes for a commanding presence on screen. She’s also quite captivating and beautiful. I point all of this out because in a number of the shows she’s been in …

Flipping through the channels yesterday, I landed on a show that surprised me. It had a couple of recognizable faces on it, though they were older. With time, I realized I was watching Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 4.
I wasn’t really sure what Confessions of …

Where the last episode was a highly enjoyable piece of light-hearted fluff, this episode goes for an epic blockbuster level of story. The entire world is in danger and the threat is on par with Gozer himself. Heck, this one might actually outdo Gozer on some levels. …

The best thing about The Choir: Unsung Town is that the second episode actually had music, really good music, and that’s why it was fun to watch. Gareth Malone sang and was good, and individuals in this choir in the making were also awesome. I just thought …

Boy, do I not like this show, Diagnosis Murder: My Baby Is Out of This World. In fact, in my view, it was a horrible way to end a TV season. I think they should have reversed this one with the one that aired before it, which …

Everybody Loves Raymond is a great comedy sitcom. I like that this sitcom actually portrays real-life circumstances. The characters in Everybody Loves Raymond are down-right hilarious, especially Raymond and his dad. Raymond is married and has three children. He lives next door to his doting/nosy mother Marie and comical …

The Twilight Zone: Still Valley is another one of the shows that I’ve never been all that crazy about. It’s a little spooky and weird, not in a scary way but just in its telling. It involves some black magic, and that’s not my thing either.
This is …

“A Girl’s Dream: Usagi Becomes a Bride” is one of those episodes of the Sailor Moon series that contributes nothing to the main storyline and also doesn’t offer any significant character development, but even still, it manages to be an enjoyable episode thanks to all the humor present throughout …

I never saw the original run of One Tree Hill when everyone was in high school. I only saw two episodes of the show when they in high school the rest I have seen in flashback from the shows current run. I didn’t actually begin to watch One Tree …

I enjoy Adam-12: Truant quite a bit. Jim Reed (Kent McCord) puts in a suggestion for a new truant program to help keep kids off the streets and drop the crime rate in the area. This is one of the shows that exhibits Jim’s sharp mind and …

Carroll O’Connor guest stars in That Girl: A Tenor’s Loving Care as a blustery and arrogant tenor who Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) is supposed to interview, or at least try to interview. When Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes with him, Giuseppe Casanetti, the tenor, says he’ll only to …

Touching Evil: Mercy was the season ender for this show. It began with a more detailed look at David Creegan’s near-death three years earlier. I had thought maybe they were going to focus on that completely and maybe get the shooter, but it was just more background …

Sea Hunt is a show that has a lot of both hits and misses for me. In the case of Sacred Pool, the 17th program of the third season to air, it’s a bit of a miss. After all, this show is an underwater adventure series. …

Laramie: The Long Riders is one of my all time favorite shows from this high quality western series. It’s from season two and guest stars Dan Duryea as Luke Gregg. Robert Crawford Jr. also appears as Andy Sherman, home for a while on break from attending …

After four episodes Naruto finally stakes its claim as a continuing series. While the episodes before episode 5 were great and did their job building the story, but episode 5 is the first one to actually continue directly off of a previous episode as Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke continue …
