Futurama TV Episode: I, Roommate

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Ledge TV Show

M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice
There are a few notable things about M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice from the fourth season of the medical comedy series. First, it’s just the fun of watching Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) trying to work some magic and get Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) tomato juice for breakfast …

Ugly Betty
I had just watched a couple of episodes of the new TV series Ugly Betty. The first impression I had for this series was that it has a striking similarity with the hit movie The Devil Wears Prada, instead of a lady boss from hell, Ugly Betty has a …

Centennial: The Longhorns
Centennial: The Longhorns is one of the most fun section of this wonderful mini-series. It’s the only focused on the cowboy, and since I love cowboys, I loved this episode.
One of the reasons The Longhorns works so well is that it is headed up by the terrific actor, …
M*A*S*H: Officers Only
I suppose someone behind the scenes decided that it was time to add a new set to the 4077th compound. Most scenes have traditionally been in the operating room, the Swamp, Henry’s office, including the clerk’s area, Houlihan’s tent, the showers, and the mess tent. With almost …
M*A*S*H: Heal Thyself
The wonderful thing about M*A*S*H: Heal Thyself from the latter part of season eight is that it’s an unassuming beginning full of laughs and comedy that suddenly becomes a powerfully dramatic program. Some might see it coming, but I doubt anyone really had a clue just how Heal …

MacGyver: Trumbo’s World
This episode opens up with a shirtless Richard Dean Anderson. Woman everywhere swooned. He immediately gets a hug from the woman he’s rescuing. That’s standard fare for this TV series.
The opening gambit was fun, with MacGyver and the woman geologist shooting the rapids, but it was …
The Wendy Williams Show: Carrie Ann Inaba September 2010 TV Show
I really haven’t watched The Wendy Williams Show from start to finish before catching this September 2010 episode of the talk show. What has often happened is that I’ve seen the last few minutes when changing the channel to tune into the beginning of another show. I …

The Fugitive: Dark Corner
Tuesday Weld is the main reason for watching this show. The Fugitive: Dark Corner is all about the Weld’s character of Mattie Braydon, a blonde sex-kitten type of gal who is spoiled and conniving. Oddly, she’s blind in this story, which makes her come off as sweet …
The Fall Guy: Colt’s Angels TV Show
The concept behind The Fall Guy: Colt’s Angels is that Colt Seavers (Lee Majors), his cousin Howie (Doug Barr), and co-worker Jody (Heather Thomas) pretend to be bikers in an attempt to capture the gang’s leader. They look pretty funny in that get up that they wear. …

House: Saviors
Last night’s episode of House, entitled “Saviors” was actually one of the better House episodes I’ve seen in recent history.
This, of course, is the episode that takes place one week after the shocker involving Kutner’s suicide and the team has to figure out the cause of an environmentalist’s sudden …
Monk - The TV series
I like watching comedy TV shows but they have to be interesting as well. I don’t like vulgar comedy or that which is developed from some one’s mistakes and mishaps. A comedy show can also be intelligent.
There have been many such comedy series - one of …
MASH: War of Nerves
I was flipping channels this morning before work and came across one of my favorite MASH episodes; “War of Nerves.”
This episode features Sidney Freeman, one of my favorite minor characters, as he ends up at the 4077th with a head injury. While there, he is asked to give therapy …

Star Trek: All Our Yesterdays TV Show
Didn’t Spock just have a romance a couple of weeks back? Well, here we go again with Star Trek: All Our Yesterdays from March 1969. I actually like the majority of this show and with the way that the plot goes, the romance isn’t ridiculous. The …

Faerie Tale Theater: Rumpelstiltskin
We have been watching episodes of the 1980s series Faerie Tale Theater with our daughter. One of the episodes we watched was Rumpelstiltskin, a book I have read to my daughter but she didn’t remember.
The episode wasn’t too bad. You have Ned Beatty playing the king who insists that …
Highway Patrol: Narcotics Racket TV Show
Narcotics Racket is the 17th episode of Highway Patrol’s fourth and final season on the air. The show stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as Sergeant Ken Williams. In my book, Boyett is the reason to watch this half hour program.
Terry Blake guest …
Burn Notice: Comrades
Burn Notice: Comrades brings us Michael Westen’s brother, Nate, who is far less interesting than Michael is. In fact, I don’t really care much about him. The two have a strained relationship that leaves you guessing about Nate’s true intentions the entire time.
I do like some of …
CSI: New York: The 34th Floor TV Show
I really want to be a fan of CSI: New York, and in fact I did watch it regularly in the beginning, but somehow, I just didn’t get into the habit of watching every week. So, I’ve seen sporadic episodes only. One thing that I know is …
The Big Bang Theory
I love this show! This is my new favorite sit com!
I was actually waiting for the new season primarily because I wanted to see this show. And, I was a little worried that it wouldn’t live up to its promos, which seemed really funny. I needn’t have worried. Based …

Dempsey and Makepeace, UK TV programme
This was an awesome programme. The two leads had such a good chemistry together, they ended up getting married in real life. Cop shows have always been popular, from both sides of the pond, and teaming up an American cop with a British one worked like a …
Beverly Hillbillies: Granny Goes to Hooterville
I didn’t get to see the other parts to this Beverly Hillbillies episode. But, the first part of Granny Goes to Hooterville is definitely clever and funny.
You have so much going on. Granny is getting set to go to Hooterville (the setting of another show at the time, Petticoat …

Stargate SG-1: Tin Man
I really enjoy this season one entry. Stargate SG-1: Tin Man is a bit of fun for me. Our team is cloned, well, actually, they become synthetic copies of themselves, and the process of them finding that out and dealing with their emotions is just awesome.
Richard Dean …
The X-Files The Calusari Episode
I remember watching this episode of the popular nineteen nineties American television series a couple years ago but being unable to finish watching the episode because I was too busy. However, I watched it again recently and remembered that one of the things I liked about the episode was …
Write & Wrong TV movie
The Lifetime Television movie “Write & Wrong” is a courageous examination of aging in a medium that is perpetually young. Byrdie is an oscar-nominated who is told that her characters are too old and her themes are too stale for the 18-28 crowd that the new (read almost fetal) …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 4: School Reunion
As the episode opens, we see that the Doctor is posing as a physics teacher. The role seems to suit him well, though it’s clear that something’s amiss as there are children who know far more than any child, or human for that matter, should.
It turns …
Mayday Season 3 Episode 2 TV show
I really enjoyed this episode of mayday, just like many of the other episodes. You can easily tell just how much good work is put into each and everyone of the episodes. But I think that this episode stood out even more than the rest. The best thing …
CHiPs: The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs
A couple of months after the second season of CHiPs ended, NBC put together a special two-hour event called The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs. I’m not sure what the intent was, if they just needed to feel a time slot and thought this was a way to do …
Highway Patrol: Stripped Cars TV Show
From Highway Patrol’s second season in 1957, Stripped Cars gave viewers a bit of something new, and that came by the unique crime scenario.

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 …
Sea Hunt: Sacred Pool TV Show
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. …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Rivals TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Rivals, from April 1963, isn’t really my favorite show, but it does have some cute moments. I’m just not really into these young love and puppy love stories that much, and essentially, that’s what this is.
One of the most adorable scenes is at …
