Stargate SG-1: Maternal Instinct
Stargate SG-1: Maternal Instinct is an excellent outing for the science fiction series, though it’s not a huge personal favorite. Not all the best shows are always a hit with every viewer.
I think the reason Stargate SG-1: Maternal Instinct isn’t a huge hit for me is that it’s …
That Girl: Leaving the Nest Is for the Birds
That Girl: Leaving the Nest Is for the Birds features Jerry Van Dyke in one of his better roles in my opinion. The brother of the amazing Dick Van Dyke, I’ve never been that impressed by Jerry. There are only a few roles that I’ve really enjoyed …

M*A*S*H: The Grim Reaper has Captain Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), chief surgeon at the 4077th unit, so incensed at Colonel Victor Bloodworth, played by Charles Aidman, that he actually gets into a fight with him at the bar. I’m just not into the shows where Hawkeye gets violent. …

Jeremiah: Things Left Unsaid: Part 2
Jeremiah: Things Left Unsaid: Part 2 is the season-ending episode for Jeremiah, a surprisingly good science fiction series that starred Luke Perry and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Neither of these two are favorites of mine, and when I began watching the DVD set that a friend gave me, I was …
NCIS Los Angles Season 3 Episode 8 (TV show)
Episode 8 of season 3 of NCIS Los Angeles was as entertaining and engaging as ever. The storyline was unexpected, important matters and lives were on the line, all accompanied with a healthy dose of humor and inside jokes. There were, however, a few things that I did not …

Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Belligerent Ghost TV Show
I’m really enjoying watching a few of these very vintage episodes of Sherlock Holmes. From the early days of TV broadcasting, this series starred Ronald Howard, who fits as Holmes with a wonderful naturalness. Alongside him is Howard Marion-Crawford as Dr. Watson. Like the star, Marion-Crawford …
Dancing with the Stars: S11, Wk 1 Performance TV Show
Dancing with the Stars began its 11th season with a rousing first week of performances from a questionable cast that actually proved to be quite entertaining.
Jennifer Grey was rockin’ from the start and is my focus due to Patrick Swayze. It was emotional for Jennifer, though. The …
Family Guy - Season 9
For a show that got canceled twice before, Family Guy had been doing a great job in giving exactly what it had promised, 30 minutes of funny jokes and scenes where you ask yourself what movies they took that from. Yet, …
Happy Days TV Episode: A Case of Revenge
I had some free time before work this morning and, since my wife was on the computer, I ended up watching some TV.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.16
“Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep” is one of those episodes that is not only filler but one that you could easily skip over and move on to the next with your knowledge of the chronological story line not being effected whatsoever. Seriously, this sixteenth episode of the …
Tom and Jerry: - ep: Salt Water Tabby
I don’t think Tom and jerry would ever get old and with so many episodes depicting different backgrounds yet keeping the classic chase. They did wonderfully. One of these episodes which features a different background from the usual house or back yard is called Salt Water Tabby.
The Salt Water …
The Andy Griffith Show: Dogs, Dogs, Dogs TV Show

ABC Family’s “Huge” pilot episode
ABC Family has apparently had enough success with its “Secret Life of an American Teenager” to decide to follow that with another lifetime-movie like series, this time centred not around the issue of teenage pregnancy, but that of teenage obesity. Curiosity made me view the pilot and the most …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 8: When Halloween was Forever
This episode features my all time favorite “Real Ghostbusters” adversary, Samhain, the spirit of Halloween. As such, it should come as no surprise to find that this is one of my favorite episodes overall.
Once again, Straczynski shows that he knows how to craft an amazing episode of …
All in the Family The Complete Fifth Season

Psych: Weekend Warriors

This one has Shawn and Gus posing as Civil War reenactors after someone appears to be …
Gargoyles Episode 2.4 A Lighthouse in the sea of time
This episode features the return of Macbeth. His goal is to obtain the recently uncovered scrolls of Merlin. I know that King Arthur comes into play later in the series, so this was probably a way to plant that seed.

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Sun and Shadow TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Sun and Shadow from October 1992 was a show that I had some problems with, not in terms of the production but in the main character and what his supposedly heroic deeds were. Heroic may not be the right word. Perhaps it’s more …
Vikings (TV series)
One of my favourite television series as of late is “Vikings”. It’a almost completely unexpected too, since while I’ve been hearing about how good it was since 2013, I just never thought that I would enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy Game of Thrones. As it turns out …

Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Nineteen —“ Machismo
