Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 1- Payback
An interesting beginning to a series. Although I think it was a little bit too dramatic, it did make an impact and was interesting to watch. The only thing that really bothered me was that by trying to introduce …

The annual The 2009 Hollywood Christmas Parade began poorly with some horrible camera work. The two hosts, Erik Estrada and Laura McKenzie weren’t centered in the camera frame, resulting in Estrada having a third of his body, including his face, cut off. It was just horrid.

From October 1971, Adam-12: The Search is one of the very best episodes of the entire police series. It’s incredibly dramatic, emotional, and angst-ridden in all the very best ways.

From October 1969, the 8th season of this long standing, 90 minute western series, The Virginian: Halfway Back from Hell reminds me of an episode of my favorite TV western, Laramie. It’s the ultimate goal of that episode, to start a ranch with gunfighters starting over with a …

This is the final episode in the trilogy about the spaceship Malevolence commanded by General Grievous. The episode’s name pretty much gives away what the storyline is about: the Jedi destroying the ship. The episode stars Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padme. General Grievous, of course, also has a large part.
The …

I love P.G. Wodehouse. I think I first discovered him through the 1990 British Television Series “Jeeves and Wooster” starring Stephen Fry as the well-known British gentleman’s gentleman and Hugh Laurie as the bumbling, fumbling Bertie Wooster. However, I may have discovered the books first. I’m just not sure.
Happily, …
