That Girl: Stop the Presses, I Want to Get Off is an enjoyable entry for this outstanding comedy program. Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) shoots a fashion design for a publication. Just as an aside, I couldn’t help but notice the modern look of her outfit. She …

“Rugrats” was one of those animated series that I loved watching when I was much younger. I understand that it premiered in the early nineties, but I only started watching it on the cable television channel Nickelodeon in the late nineties. The series was interesting because of the unique …

This review is focusing solely on the programming offered by Comcast Cable in the Northern California region and particularly in Sacramento.
Since coming to Sacramento the last time, Comcast Cable has done very little to increase its channels offered. Let me explain that originally, we had Sacramento Cable. …

One of the most interesting new television shows that I’ve discovered recently is one called Brain Games that comes from time to time on the cable television channel National Geographic. I think that the reason why I like it so much and the reason it stands out is because …

Of all the medical dramas around on TV in recent years, House, M.D. has got to be one of my favorites. I came across this series in its first season, and have been a fairly regular viewer ever since.
The writing of House is some of the smartest writing …

Unfortunately, Columbo: A Case of Immunity is one of those episodes that really doesn’t appeal to me. It guest stars Hector Elizondo as a foreign embassy worker, so he has diplomatic immunity; at least, on the surface. He’s a security worker who kills the security chief and …

I got home about 5:30 yesterday evening and decided to put on a re-run of That 70s Show while waiting for the Simpsons to come on. It turned out that re-run was one of the funniest episodes from any series that I have ever seen.
The episode, called Street Fighting …

Cold Case Files is beginning its new season in a few weeks, and this viewer literally can not wait! This show is just outstanding, if you ask me. Not only is it always interesting because it evaluates murder mysteries from over fourty years ago, which I always …

This episode is the one wherein Jack finally comes to terms with the death of his son, Charlie. Or rather, an alien form which looks like Jack helps him to deal.
This episode had to happen. Kurt Russell had portrayed Jack O’Neill as a more, shall we say …

It’s good working half days for a week because I get to see some shows I might not get a chance to see when I’m working all day (too bad that starts next week). One of the shows, Home Improvement, is one I’ve missed a bit.
The episode that showed …

I have to say I have become addicted to the Gilmore Girls. I’ve been watching this TV show since the first episode and from the very first time I saw it I couldn’t wait to see the next one.
Gilmore Girls is such a relief when we consider teen TV. …

This used to be my absolute favorite show when I was younger. I am still so sad that there will never be a new episode again. But luckily, they are still showing reruns and probably always will because it was such a successful show. I would watch it every …

Welcome to the first test of the Nerv emergency backup power generation center, which Nerv supports 100%! Yeah, right. On Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 11 “The day Tokyo 3 stood still” is a sure fire classic that still makes me crack up over how ineffective this system really is. …

This episode was set in Mexico. It wasn’t one of my favorites, but I will take two bad episodes out of twenty two. The unsub was killing elderly women. Who kills grandmas? That’s just plain wrong! But I guess that was the point. While it was fun to …

I usually enjoy watching re-runs of the show Gilligan’s Island on the weekends; especially if I’m stuck in the house because of the weather or a sleeping baby. This past weekend, I got to see one I haven’t seen in a while; Ship’s Ahoax.
This one is actually interesting (in …

The September 15th edition of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show pretty much bored me. I just am not a fan of hers and while she was a bit more relatable with her audience, she isn’t someone I enjoy watching.
One segment of the show involved designer Tory Burch, which …

From February 1960, which was its third season, Sea Hunt: Missile Watch starred Lloyd Bridges as diving expert, Mike Nelson. This show was pretty interesting to watch. That said, I felt Nelson made a couple of dumb moves that made no sense to me at all.
In Sea …

From December 1957, the 9th episode of Highway Patrol’s third season was called Witness Wife. Basically, the title comes from a woman who ends up giving potentially harmful information to the killer, unaware of who he is. In fact, she pretty much points him towards her husband’s …

For example, Hugh, nicknamed the polar bear, is …

Synopsis: Homer appears on Kent Brockman’s show Smartline and, because he causes the newscaster to swear, ultimately costs him his job.
What I like about this episode: I think the best part for me at least was the way the episode spoofs the fact people get way too easily offended …

I’ve been working half days all week and got a chance to watch an afternoon re-run of the show “Bones” yesterday; The Baby in the Bough. I missed the first few minutes but will admit it was a pretty good episode.
