Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Doomsday, the 19th outing of this series, brings back Ford Rainey as the President of the United States. It’s a serious scene with just him. After the theme, everything turns frivolous as the Seaview crosses the equator and proceeds to …

I had thought I had seen all the recent Monk episodes until I caught one as a re-run Friday Night.
Mr. Monk is Up All Night was actually one of the better recent episodes I’ve seen because he doesn’t just have one mystery to solve; he has two separate …

As I was remembering the popular series “Renegade” recently, I also remembered the television series “Forever Knight” that used to air on local television around that same period of time. When the series “Forever Knight” started to air on the local television channel that brought it in the nineteen …

Now that Halloween is coming up, there are plenty of Halloween movies and television episodes on TV. One of those shows is Spongebob Squarepants: Scaredy Pants.
The episode is pretty interesting, in my opinion. It’s Halloween night and everyone in Bikini Bottom goes out of their way to scare Spongebob …

William Katt burst onto the TV scene as The Greatest American Hero. Surviving that, he signed on to play Paul Drake Jr. in new Perry Mason movies, working with his mother, Barbara Hale. He left that gig to star in this political drama called Top of the …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Indestructible Man, show twenty-one of this first year, was directed by Felix Feist. I mention him because his shows always seem to have an extra zest about them. I’m not sure I can even describe it, but the shows …

Under the surface of strippers, hookers, drinking, smoking, adultery, and a myriad of other things I suspect that My Name is Earl may secretly one of the most moral shows on television and it is that morality which makes so many of the other things in the show so …

I’m not sure, but I think The Fall Guy: The Japanese Connection would have been better called The Hawaiian Connection. This is the show starring Lee Majors, who plays a stunt man named Colt Seavers whose side job is working as a bounty hunter. Most episodes start …

I watched a movie with my daughter yesterday afternoon called Grampa’s Silly Scaries. This was basically a bunch of old black and white cartoons being shown with Grampa Munster (Al Lewis) being cast as the host.
I wasn’t impressed with the movie.
First of all, how many young kids really know …

Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 19 - The Best Laid Plans carries on after the intensity of the previous episode when Leslie Mallory’s Russian amour, Alexi, was killed.
On the good side of things, there’s finally some action between Tom Mallory, the rear admiral played by Dennis Weaver, and the widow, …

It’s really cold in Korea during M*A*S*H: Baby, It’s Cold Outside. While the doctors try to save some hypothermic patients, they also try to stay warm. This particular story element is another example of decent comedy mingling with decent drama and making for a decent half-hour of …

M*A*S*H: The Incubator has some funny bits to it, but this second season entry for the highly hysterical comedy series isn’t one that’s high up on my list. There’s nothing that bothers me about it, but it’s just not that memorable. I guess you could say that …

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 …

A couple of years ago when we first had gotten cable television, I my parents had introduced me to an old American prank television show called “Candid Camera”. I thought that the concept of it was a bit strange since at the time I did not know that there …

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Loose Larry’s List of Losers was the eighth of twelve regular episodes of this Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum series that was a fine mix of both drama and comedy. Both actors are simply superb and because their comedy styles are different, they don’t …

Voyagers!: Created Equal takes viewers back to the age of Spartacus, who is enslaved and forced to fight as a gladiator in the arena. This allows the hunky series star, Jon-Erik Hexum, to show off his physique in the arena as well. As an actor, Hexum still …

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, …

The television show South Park follows the lives of 4 young boys growing up in the town of South Park, Colorado. This 3 disk DVD collection features the episodes that were originally aired from April of 1999 to January of 2000. Even though all 17 episodes in …

“The Once And Future Thing: Time, Warped” is the 13th episode of the first season of Justice League Unlimited and completes the storyline started in “The Once And Future Thing: Weird Western Tales.” The story is somewhat superior to the first part, because it deals with …

Due South: Mojo Rising was big on voodoo, and those shows aren’t my favorites to watch, regardless of the show. I’m not sure what the fascination is with this type of show, but sooner or later, it seems like every dramatic show on the air does some show …

Who’s the Boss is one of the most funny and cool shows I have ever seen. I remember watching this show as a kid with my family and loving every minute of it. Tony is so funny in the show and does a great job of acting. Allisa Milliano plays …

Kate Gosselin has been announced as a contestant on season 10 of Dancing With The Stars. Even though the show hasn’t even premiered yet, there’s a lot of buzz about all of the Kate haters. I personally don’t have a problem with her, because she’s a mother, …

Stargate SG-1: Shadowplay is hum drum for me. It bores me to no end. Its focus is a potential Kelownan civil war. The thing is, who cares? The Kelownans are selfish cowards, as evidenced by Jonas Quinn himself, so I’m not sure why Earth should …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bird of Time, an episode which aired early in the western’s sixth season on the air, went right into the action, avoiding one of the traditional San Francisco openings. I always lament the lack of the fancy Paladin beginnings. They add …

It is the final day of Science Week and Springfield Elementary. Skinner prepares to launch a weather balloon. Bart seems very excited by this, and Skinner becomes suspicious. When the balloon is far up in the sky, Bart shows his hardwork and effort. It is a mocking image of …

The final part bring the story of Devices and Desires to its conclusion. This is the big moment when Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) solves the puzzle and the viewers get all of the answers. This 1991 six-part story was best on the best-selling novels of P.D. …

Just as Scully’s mother is preparing her daughter’s headstone, the abducted FBI agent appears in a hospital bed, seemingly out of thin air. None of the doctors have any idea how she got there, who admitted her, or even what her condition is beyond being comatose.
This episode is …

This episode had to do with Alice, the magical mirror and Lewis Carroll, I really like similar stories because they aren’t only interesting but also educational. What happened is that the secret agent Myka got stuck in the mirror while Alice gets into Myka’s body. Nobody realises what happened …

Columbo: The Complete First Season on DVD is a really nice product for fans of this iconic detective series to own. It’s really well done. It begins with a nice box that the disk holder slides into. It keeps everything as pristine as possible.
The negative point …

Hex is a supernatural television series, that ran for two seasons. Set in a boarding school, with a history of witchcraft and supernatural events, it is a story about the birth of the anti christ, the demonic version of Jesus Christ. Complete with lesbian ghosts, fallen angels, archangels and …

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 …

The Christophers Present … A Link in the Chain is another show I just stumbled upon while searching out something new. I’m just tired of the junk we see on TV these days. I wanted new shows, even if those new shows were decades old, like this …

I like the show Invisibleman because it is about a man who can turn invisible, and who wouldn’t like to be able to turn invisible sometimes, imagine what you could do when invisible. Darien Fawkes works for an agency and they are trying to find a way to get …

From January 1962, Bill Bixby shines as the main guest star in The Andy Griffith Show: Bailey’s Bad Boy, a show from season two. Bixby plays Ronald Bailey, the son of a wealthy and powerful man. He’s spoiled and used to getting his way. He has …

I have seen a lot of movies and television series about how good triumphs over evil, but this one takes that game to a higher level. What will you do if you discovered that your friend is an angel who have been sent from heaven to make sinners atone …

The 34th episode from the fourth season of Have Gun - Will Travel was called Bearbait. This was an odd entry in some respects as it’s the story of a bunch of young men who haven’t grown up yet but who pretty much get their way in the …

Part four of John Adams, the HBO 2008 mini-series, is called Reunion. Following the end of the war, John Adams is back home once again, although not for long. This time, John eventually sends for Abigail to join him in Paris.
The scene where Abigail arrives is prolonged. …

Top Chef: Just Desserts: Cocktail with a Twist was a volatile hour, thanks to one of the contestants. Sometimes the chefs really do overpower the theme of the episode.
The quick fire challenge featured Elizabeth Falkner and was to create a dish that celebrates penny candy. This led to …

Reese’s father makes his return, this time played by Mitch Pileggi. The script hangs a pretty heavy lampshade on the fact that he’s played by a different person. Several characters comment on how different he looks and how he’s not the Hawk that they had known before. …

Sea Hunt: Dead Man’s Cove featured Leonard Nimoy as the primary guest star. Nimoy was on the show quite a bit. In this outing, he’s a man who claims his wife died accidentally while they were skin diving. There’s about a five minute scene where he’s …

I greatly enjoyed this 25th outing from Sea Hunt’s fourth year on the air. The show was called Underwater Pirates, but no, there aren’t pirates with peg legs or ships with skull and cross bones flags waving furiously in the air. However, there are pirates, as in salvage …

In this episode of The Prisoner, entitled Many Happy Returns, Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) wakes up to an unusual day. The usual happy greeting over the public address system doesn’t happen. There’s no cheerful music, and the residents of The Village aren’t anywhere to be found. …

Sea Hunt: Proof of Guilt is one of the latter episode’s of the underwater adventure series’ second season on television. I actually thought it was pretty intriguing as well. The basic idea behind the half hour show is that diving expert Mike Nelson, as played by Lloyd …

This was the third week of the daytime drama Days of Our Lives’ celebration of the life of matriarch, Alice Horton. Horton was played by the late Frances Reid and instead of just giving her a token 2-day memorial as many of their contemporary soap operas would have, …

Why did they give this woman a show? Never mind, I understand. She is one of the most hated people in urban entertainment. This is because she has unearthed some shocking and embarrassing things about the hip-hop community. It’s also because she tends …

If you ever wonder exactly why Sandy the squirrel has made her home underwater in Bikini Bottom on the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants, you get an interesting explanation of it in the episode “Chimps Ahoy” which happens to be one of my favorites on this series.
Sandy gets a visit from …
