A Flintstone’s Christmas
For me, there’s nothing like good, old fashioned holiday fun, and last night I had a nice dose of that with the animated classic, A Flintstone’s Christmas. I actually don’t recall seeing this before, so it felt very new to me. I love the Flintstones, of course, …

For me, the magic of Crossroads with Pat Benatar and Martina …
John Doe: Blood Lines TV show
John Doe: Blood Lines has our amnesiac center character still confused about his identity. Sometimes, it feels overplayed. Now I realize that being in his position, waking up naked with no clue who I was, would be insane and difficult, but for TV drama, it feels overacted.
One …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Ralph Nader TV Show
Ralph Nader was all over television back in his heyday, promoting consumer awareness and advocacy. It makes him a decent selection as the honoree as the Man of the Week on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour because he’s easy to make fun of and with.
Unfortunately, I really didn’t …
Secret Millionaire TV show
Last December 2008, I saw this reality Television show on Fox. It is entitled Secret Millionaire. It was just very timely then. The show can inspire people to share more during the holidays, no matter how bad the economy may be. Every episode I watch, my heart goes for our …

Dr. Phil Show
Dr. Phil Show
I must warn you, this show is truly addictive. It might solve your problems, but it might turn you into a hopeless couch potato who prefers to sit down all day and solve life’s problems instead of causing the usual trouble.
In this show Dr. Philip McGraw is …
Mork & Mindy: Mork and the Immigrant
There will never be jokes that will ever top those based on Cold War politics in the 1970s and 1980s. And, conveniently, the Mork & Mindy episode “Mork and the Immigrant” manages to take advantage of that.
There are a couple things about this episode that stand out. First, you …
Wowowee ABS-CBN
Every ABS-CBN follower is also a fan of its noon-time game show, Wowowee. Hosted by actor, Willie Revillame, the show gives life to a boring noon. Co-hosted by few of the country’s sexiest ladies, the show became more alive and energectic.
The show runs during noon (Philippines’ time) in ABS-CBN …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Unforgiving Minute TV Show

Sea Hunt: The Hero TV Show
From 1958, Sea Hunt: The Hero has some good bits to it and was interesting to watch, I’m happy to say. I like the opening where we learn what project Mike Nelson, expert skin diver, is working on at the moment, and that’s research to see if plant …
A Certain Justice - Part 2
A Certain Justice - Part 2 was a bit slower for me than part 1 was. This story is from the P.D. James novel and uses the familiar character of Commander Adam Dalgliesh. As an American, I assume commander is a detective. That seemed to be …
Devices and Desires - Part 6
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. …
Due South: Chinatown
I’m not sure why just about every drama on television thinks they have to do some covert Chinatown storyline. It’s always about their version of the Mob Why can’t there be a story about Chinatown that is about the culture or, better yet, just the average crime …
Ugly Betty TV show
This TV show just rocks my world. I don’t really like watching people get embarrassed on TV, even though I know it’s not happening to them in real life. But this show just makes me want to watch until Betty gets her revenge by being smart. This show actually …

Thriller: Man of Mystery TV Show
I was probably more interested in Thriller: Man of Mystery from April 1962 than I have been in most of the other shows, except maybe one that guest starred William Shatner.
This episode guest starred John Van Dreelen as Joel Stone, financier and playboy, and he’s interested in a young …
Iron Chef TV show
The Japanese show “The Iron Chef” has become so widely popular that it has even spawned an American version that has contributed greatly to the Food Network’s success. I won’t dwell on the American version, but rather on the original dubbed over Japanese version of the show, which …
Til’ Death show
My husband and I watch Til’ Death every Thursday night at 8:00 on Fox. With so many sitcoms out there now it’s hard to come up with something original. Til’ Death is a show that any married couple can relate to wether you’ve been married for one week or …
Buck Rogers - Planet of the Slave Girls
The first episodes of the Buck Rogers television series feature two top notch guest stars: Roddy McDowell in a minor role and Jack Palance in an OUTRAGEOUSLY campy appearance as a villain who has the power of mind control and is selling people into intergalactic slavery. This episode drags …
South Park Season 10, Episode 8: Make Love, Not Warcraft
This episode is a classic. I’ve never played WoW myself (I tried, but it was a nuisance so I ditched it) but I still find this episode hilarious.
The boys join the online sensation, but find their experience ruined by an insanely powerful griefer who keeps killing them when …
The Office: Money
This season of The Office has several hour-long episodes. I think they may be a mistake. I enjoy The Office but it is best in short chunks. At first, I just thought these longer episodes were just weaker writing, but the writing has been good, I just find myself …
Private Eye: Barrio Nights
Private Eye: Barrio Nights, which aired originally on November 6, 1987 was a typical show about the barrio section of Los Angeles. I wish I could say there was something new or exciting about the episode, but I can’t. It’s a plot seen and used many times, …

Deal or No Deal is a game show that comes on Wednesday nights. It is like playing a lottery game because you have a chance to win a million dollars. You must choose 1 of the cases for yours then eliminated the others hoping to not get the big …
Buck Rogers - Awakening Parts 1 and 2
As much as I love the old BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25th CENTURY series, I have to say the pilot is awful. Shockingly, this pilot received a theatrical release! Then again, STAR WARS, STAR TREK and MOONRAKER did huge business so another sci-fi film wouldn’t hurt. Anyway, we are …
The Andy Griffith Show: Cousin Virgil TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Cousin Virgil from season two just isn’t a show I’m that fond of. In fact, it’s one of a few episodes from the entire series that I will actually turn off. It just doesn’t work for me, and I simply don’t enjoy much …
Star Trek: The Practical Joker TV Show
There are some fun moments in Star Trek: The Practical Joker, a show from the second season of the animated series based on the original live action series. With the original actors back to voice their characters, it makes it all that much more real.
In this episode, we …
Moment of Truth TV Show
If you have yet to see the new Fox TV show, ‘The Moment of Truth’ you are missing out. To even think that a person could get paid for telling the truth seems crazy. But that is exactly what this show is all about.
On the …
Seinfeld
I just love watching Seinfeld reruns. I really wish that I had watched the show when it was airing, because I have become such a huge fan. Jerry Seinfeld is hilarious, and I love his interactions with his good friends, Kramer, Elaine and George. How funny can this show …

Sea Hunt: Underwater Station TV Show
Sea Hunt: Underwater Station was a decent episode. I’m not a big Lloyd Bridges fan and Sea Hunt isn’t really a favorite show or anything, but it tends to come on TV at a moment when nothing else is on, so I’ve been watching it from time to …
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 2
