The Twilight Zone: Stopover in a Quiet Town TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Stopover in a Quiet Town is one of the better shows from this final season of this classic science fiction show from the mind of Rod Serling. It has a decent plot with an appropriate amount of suspense. You aren’t quite sure where the …
The X-Files: Jose Chung’s From Outer Space
A highly regarded writer on the hunt for inspiration, a pair of teenage sweethearts wrapped up in an alleged alien abduction, a UFO obsessed local weirdo and a man in black with a striking resemblance to Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek. All of this might make for a rather complicated …
Columbo: Ransom for a Dead Man TV Show
Columbo: Ransom for a Dead Man is the first official outing for the TV series, Columbo. I believe this actually began as a mystery movie of the week, airing once a month in rotation with other mystery movies. The series was spawned by a movie called Prescription: …
Call 911 TV show
There are all kinds of reality shows on today, and many are crime related. One of the series I’ve learned to enjoy over many of the others is Call 911, which airs on the Discovery ID channel.
The show uses actual 911 phones calls, recreations of incidents, and interviews …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Girl in Boxcar #3
Alias Smith and Jones: The Girl in Boxcar #3 has some drama and poignancy to it, and while I enjoy it, it also is the first show that has Hannibal Heyes (Pete Duel) and Kid Curry (Ben Murphy) apart for much of the time. This serves to allow …
Mork & Mindy: In Mork We Trust
Well, this kind of sucks. I’ve been watching Mork & Mindy all day today and came across yet another episode that wasn’t very good; “In Mork We Trust.”
OK, maybe the premise of the episode was a good one and they just stunk at the execution. But, you have Mork …
Seven Days season 3 episode 22 Live: From Death Row
If you read any of my reviews about Seven days, where I am always saying that the show is very simple and predictable maybe this sentence will shock you: I am sorry it ended. Yeah, that’s true I really am. Not because of this episode, I mean, CERTAINLY not …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trap TV Show
From its fifth season, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trap was the 24th episode, airing in March 1962.
Kam Tong was always entertaining as Hey Boy. I loved this bit with him at the beginning of the half hour when he is in Paladin’s room and …
The Simpsons TV Episode: Little Girl in the Big Ten
I finally got a chance to watch the entire episode of The Simpsons called “Little Girl in the Big Ten.” This one proved to be pretty darn funny.
Lisa is enrolled in gymnastics and, because she is the same size as the college girls enrolled in class, they naturally assume …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 20 - Friends and Lovers
There are a couple of interesting points to Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 20 - Friends and Lovers that kept me viewing with anticipation.
First, there was another face off between Simon (Richard Dean Anderson) and Jack (Charles Frank) over Celia (Susan Dey). It’s such a twisted triangle that isn’t …
MASH - Season 6
I think season 6 is the season the show started to jump the shark a bit and it was probably time. There were several good episodes out of this season but many of them had a re-hashed plot (a major who gets his soldiers killed, marital problems, etc).
The season …
Adam-12: The Parole Violator
One of the good things about Adam-12: The Parole Violator is that we get an outside look at Pete Malloy’s personal life and see how he contributes to the community in his off hours. In this case, he’s a basketball coach. I like how he approaches and …
Sea Hunt: Cindy TV Show
From its third year of televising, Sea Hunt presented a show called Cindy, which was the 18th to air. The show was all about the attempts to rescue a little girl who has managed to get trapped inside an underwater mine.
One of the unusual aspects of this show …
Bold and the Beautiful
Bold and the Beautiful is my favourite soapie. I first started watching it when I was just 16 years old and I have been watching it ever since, I am now 29 years old.
The best thing about this show is that is the 13 years that I have watched …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Norwich State
Well, last night was the season finale of Ghost Hunters. And, once again, I ended up disappointed.
The investigation itself wasn’t terrible. At least they dedicated the whole hour to one site rather than splitting it up over two different places. But, I was very disappointed with how TAPS went …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 18 - The Climax
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 18 - The Climax continues the soap opera elements that made the show what it was. Part of the most difficult elements to watch is the obsession that David Marquette (Michael Brandon) has for Maggie Farrell (Maud Adams). It’s positively spooky, even now …
Qur’an Channel 4 Programme
I tuned into this programme some way in as I hadn’t know it was on, but was interested in the subject matter. Apparently the aim of the programme was to talk about what the Muslim holy book actually says, I suppose to demystify it, given that there are …
The Universe: Alien Worlds
The spectacular team behind the always impressive —˜The Universe’ turn up trumps yet again, this time getting creative as they take an exiting voyage through space and consider the endless possibilities for life out there.
It’s more fantasy than usual, things are a little more playful and the experts, regardless …
Dragon’s Den
Dragon’s Den is a BBC2 show where budding entrepreneurs enter “The Den” to pitch for an investment from five of Britain’s most successful multi-millionaire business people known here as the Dragon’s.
I have recently finished a 2 week quest to collect every single episode from the Dragon’s Den set and …
M*A*S*H: To Market, to Market
I’ve always remembered this episode because it’s just so dang funny. M*A*S*H: To Market, to Market has Hawkeye and Trapper trying to make a deal on the black market to get some much needed medical supplies. Much of the supplies ordered by the 4077th had been stolen. …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Five —“ Broken Mirror
A kidnapping case. It showed how the team handles kidnappings and ransom demands. Since the kidnapped girl had a twin, there was also an interesting little twist about twin interaction and feeling things the other is feeling. Each episode I learn something interesting about Dr. Reid. This episode I …
Home and Garden Television
I just love HGTV. If you are into making your house nice or being creative, this is the channel for you. The ideas that I have gotten from this channel are just unbelievable. The painting and decorating shows are a real help. They show you …
The Secret Millionaire
I think The Secret Millionaire make for interesting viewing and usually it is quite moving. The idea is that a millionaire will go undercover to a disadvantaged area, volunteer to help with some local charity or community project and live amongst the community for a while in conditions …
Centennial: The Winds of Death
Centennial: The Winds of Death is really an intense and emotional episode of this very long mini-series based on the novel by James Michener. It’s one that I think a lot of people can even identify with today. It’s almost a century old take on today’s home …
The Singing Bee Television Show
I was very tired this morning when it was time to get out of bed. And, this time around, it was not because my daughter kept me up all night.
Instead, it was because my wife and I were flipping channels last night and came across a show on CMT …
I Eat 33,000 Calories a Day
I was really disgusted when I watched this program. I am not trying to talk badly about fat people. But these shown in this TLC show have all admitted to having food addictions. What I wonder is why no one has addressed the food addiction …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Consequences
I have now watched the first 2 ½ seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and have never seen an episode so filled with emotion as “Consequences.”
This episode takes place right after Faith accidentally kills a person thinking he was a vampire and deals with her and Buffy’s efforts to …

M*A*S*H: Mad Dogs and Servicemen
In M*A*S*H: Mad Dogs and Servicemen, we meet Rosie for the first time. She gets a bigger part as the show continues. She’s been mentioned a time or two for having a place just outside the camp. This, though, is the first time that we see …
What Not to Wear (Television Show)
I admit that I am not a big fan of any reality show, and I rarely watch any of the shows on the Women’s Network or Slice in my area, which includes programs such as wedding, weight loss, parenting and fashion reality shows. I am not ashamed to admit, …
Life Beyond Trek: Walter Koenig featurette
In December 2003, Walter Koenig sat down and talked a bit about the influence of Star Trek in Life Beyond Trek: Walter Koenig. At first, I thought his was going to be very different than the intimate expose that Leonard Nimoy had done. That’s because the first …
Trinity Blood episode 14
On Trinity Blood, in actuality there is little that is kept sacred such as the oaths Father Abel Nightroad made to himself and was forced to break them, as a sign of his sins appeared upon his flesh with childish murmurings of pain. On Trinity blood episode fourteen: “The …
Hawaii Five-O: The Big Kahuna
Except for a re-editing of the series pilot as a two-part story that followed this show, Hawaii Five-O: The Big Kahuna is the final episode of the first season of this long-lasting crime show. It focuses on a Hawaiian legend, the goddess of fire, Pele. She is seen …

While he’s doing that, though, Hawkeye sets out on a quest …
Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse
Classical Disney cartoons were always my favourite ones. I like these 2D ones much better than those 3D ones that they are making today bout Mickey Mouse and his friends. I guess a 2D cartoon brings me back in my childhood and for me a 2D cartoon is a …
Discovery Channel
Discovery Channel is one of my favorite TV channels of all time. I consider every moment of watching this channel as the greatest way to learn not only for me but for the rest of my family.
I have been finding all …
Finding Judas
Every time I watch House, there’s a twist or turn that makes me want to tune in the next week.
Last night’s episode “Finding Judas” is the perfect example of that. House’s colleagues are being blackmailed into testifying against him and you can just feel the tension.
I also got a …

M*A*S*H: Oh, How We Danced
M*A*S*H: Oh, How We Danced is the second episode that deals with one of B.J. Hunnicutt’s (Mike Farrell) wedding anniversaries. The good news is that it fits the continuity. In February 1980, they aired the show called Lend a Hand where the 4077th threw B.J. a party …
Sliders Complete First and Second Seasons
There was a time when Sliders was one of my favorite shows on television. A unique science fiction television series, it highlighted the adventures of four travelers as they “slid” between parallel dimensions, trying desperately to find their way home.
These first two seasons are the highpoint of the …
Star Trek: Catspaw TV Show
I just do not like or enjoy Star Trek: Catspaw. I never have. It is one very weird show and it’s never ever drawn me in. I’ve still watched it many times (even the worst Star Trek beats out most of what was TV competition), but it’s …
Seven days Season 3 Episode 12 Raven
Honestly, most of the third season episodes of this show seem to be classic episodes, you know one of those that every show got to have. I am actually waiting to see Parker on a jury duty, you know when he thinks one thing and the other 11 jurors …
That Girl: The Good Skate
That Girl: The Good Skate has Ann Marie auditioning for a commercial where she needs to roller skate. She actually gets the part, but she has a problem: she can’t skate. Thus, she enlists her boyfriend, Donald Hollinger, to teach her. In the process, Don ends …
Sea Hunt: Alligator Story TV Show
Sea Hunt: Alligator Story is a tale that just the name would keep me from watching if I weren’t reviewing this episode. Gator stories are not my cup of tea, as they say. The story opens with a really nice camera shot of Nelson looking up through …
Birds of Prey episode 4: Three Birds and a Baby
At first, this episode seems like it’s going to be a piece of light-hearted filler as the plot involves the trio of super-heroines suddenly find themselves taking care of a child who was saved by Helena during her patrol.
Criminals may be no match for these women, but they find …
The Veil: Girl on the Road TV Show
The Veil: Girl on the Road is from the anthology series, short lived as it was, hosted by Boris Karloff. Karloff actually has a role in this episode, too. He plays the powerful Morgan Debs, and he issues a warning to the show’s protagonist, John Prescott.
