The Andy Griffith Show: Rafe Hollister Sings is quite the entertaining half hour episode of this successful comedy series from the early sixties. I love the songs, the lightheartedness of it, and the comedic beats which are family oriented, meaning this show is enjoyable for all ages. …

I found this particular episode quite interesting. In fact I think I could put it on my list of the most memorable X-Files episodes I have watched, not because it has some sort of a twist but because of how things were written, the costuming, acting and so on. …

“Jenny’s Thesis” serves as the fourth season finale of “The Jeffersons” and it’s easily one of the television show’s strongest episodes yet, and perhaps one of the series’ most outstanding episodes. Just as “All in the Family” was usually at its best when it tackled a very real issue, …

The Managing Director sends the new Finance Manager undercover. This is a first that I know of that Undercover Boss has not had a CEO pretend to be a new worker. They talked about the frontline staff knowing the folks who run the company. I suppose …

Ancient Mysteries is a show on the History Channel. Each episode is about another event in history about which there is some controversy. The episode entitled The Quest for the Fountain of Youth tells the story of Juan Ponce de León y Figueroa, a Spanish conquistador who “discovered” …

The Twilight Zone returns to its half hour format after a questionable fourth season of hour long episodes with a show called In Praise of Pip. In the past, I haven’t been much of a fan of this episode, but the last time I watched it, I enjoyed …

I had never heard about “Michael Palin: Around the world in 80 days” until it popped up on Netflix recommendations, but since it was instant watch I decided to try it. I assumed it was a two hour documentary, but it was a short series made for the BBC.
The …

By all accounts, this episode really shouldn’t have worked. I mean, come on, a “Christmas Carol” tie-in? With Peter being the token grump of the group who can’t get into the spirit? It so easily could’ve bombed, but instead, it turns out to be a highly …

One way to tell a series is starting to turn the corner a bit and is moving toward the final episodes is with the addition of new characters to the main cast. The show Emperor’s New School did this in its second and final season with the addition of …

Well, another episode of Emperor’s New School and I can see why the show lasted only two seasons on Disney.
The episode “Cool Summer” had a few funny moments but, once again, was kind of predictable.
Kuzco is on vacation on the beach with Pacha and his family and is embarrassed …

Some think that this show, with it’s lighter and softer take on the DC Universe isn’t capable of telling great stories. This episode proves them wrong.

In 1983 Jeff was a very popular guy who won a competition in a Missile Command game playing. The host at the competition asked him what was next for Jeff and he replied that he couldn’t decide because there were so many tasty options. In 2008 after obviously have …

It amazes me how Sam Waterston of Law & Order regular show can play the District Attorney Jack McCoy so well but what is even more amazing is that he plays the same character in Law &Order Criminal Intent and Law & Order Special Victims Unit. Just to …

It would be nice if Tales of the Gold Monkey: Legends Are Forever had begun with a bit more clarity. What was a flashback or dream wasn’t made clear. We have this great adventure scene with Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) and a colorful character, Gandy Dancer (William …

Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to work in an ad campaign for the Air Force promoting women in the service in That Girl: Fly Me to the Moon. Robert Colbert, who I always recall mostly from Time Tunnel, appears as Major Brian James. He ends up jetting …

The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can is definitely one of my favorite episodes of this series. I consider it to be one of the classics, in the top 15 of all the shows. What I really love about this show is the spirit, the message of …

From its first season on the air, The Andy Griffith Show: Andy the Marriage Counselor was a solid outing, more for its side gag than for the actual plot in my opinion.
When the show starts, we see Deputy Barney Fife reading “The Art of Judo” after which he goes …

This is the episode that I was worried about with J.D. the dog. I just don’t like to spend my time worrying about innocent animals, and that’s what I do for most of Dead Like Me: The Bicycle Thief. J.D. gets out, and the Lass family goes …

I think this season may have kept MASH going for a couple of more years just because the episodes, though not as funny, definitely made you think more about the mental effects of war.
First Hawkeye needs to reply to a letter written by a kid who lost his brother …

DC Cupcakes: Greek Festival is the third episode of a new series on The Learning Channel, a channel I’d pretty much stopped watching considering their insistence on stuffing the Gosselins down America’s throat. However, I’m liking this show. Here are some highlights from my point of view.

The Jersey Shore TV show that was on MTV at first glance seemed like a pile of rubbish, at least that’s what I thought when I watched it the very first time but after the first few episodes I ended up really liking this show for some reason.
First of …

Log 85: Sign of the Twins is the twelfth episode of Adam-12’s third season, and it’s an average one in my book. I think that might be because there’s another drug story in it, and I’m really burned out of drug stories. I’m not sure why that …

The ninth show from the final season, Stargate Atlantis: Tracker begins with Ronon (Jason Momoa) and Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) looking for Jennifer Keller (Jewel Straite), who apparently has been kidnapped by a wraith runner. My comments and reactions are below.

Rod Serling’s Night Gallery was made up of a collection of different stories, some just a few minutes long, and others more detailed. This show is made up of three entries — Death in the Family, The Merciful, and Class of ‘99, and Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Well, I didn’t know kids could be suspended from school in the 1970s just for smoking so I learned something today from That 70s Show at lunch. The episode, Eric Gets Suspended, is definitely an interesting one.
Basically, Eric isn’t the one who is smoking, Donna is apparently rebelling for …

The Twilight Zone: The Mighty Casey is an okay episode, but not a huge favorite of mine. It revolves around a new player for a baseball team who is an incredibly powerful pitcher. This brings the team up in ability and allows them to start winning.
The new …

I really enjoy elements of Log 45: Bright Boy, a third season entry for the Adam-12 crime drama that aired for several seasons on NBC. There’s some nice banter at the beginning between the first crime segment, and that’s just how I like to see it happen.
My favorite …

While the Buffy the Vampire episode School Hard isn’t the best episode I’ve seen of the series, I think it ends up being one of the more important ones for anyone who intends on watching the series from beginning to end because it seems to be setting up several …

I have to admit, that was a pretty funny episode of That 70s Show; “Baby Don’t You do It.”
I think I reviewed the episode that happened prior to this one, where Eric and Donna think she’s pregnant because she missed a pill. Well, this is a follow up episode …

No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Vigilante followed the Powell family, now possessive of unusual powers, has they continue to adjust to their situation. This is a show that is a little bit science fiction, a part comedy, and a tad of drama as well. For me, the …

Fox Soccer channel used to be Fox World Channel, but they switched their name a while back and now concenrate heavily on soccer competitions. The main attraction is English Premier League - between FSC channel and Setanta Sports channel you can see almost all the Premier League games every …

I have this fascination with extreme living conditions—”that is, homes that are either extremely strange or extremely expensive (or both.) This program on the Travel Channel focused on the bathrooms around the world that have some kind of weird conditions. For instance, at a Japanese steak …

You may have heard of MTV’s Pimp My Ride, but have you ever seen CMT’s version: Trick My Truck? I watched this show last night on CMT and was amazed. Trick My Truck is a show where people nominate their parent or friend who drives a big rig …

“Woooo!” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on November 17, 2009, on CBS. This was a really solid episode. The actors on this show have really hit their stride as a group. It is just a level down from the chemistry …

This episode by far is my favorite episode of Spongebob Square pants . Even as an adult I think that you can really enjoy and get into this show because he is funny and so darn cute. I started to watch Spongebob before any of my children …

My initial problem with Jeremiah: Man of Iron, Woman Under Glass, the second episode of the season, is that it doesn’t pick up where the movie pilot left off, and because of how the movie ended, I would have thought that would be logical. Instead, the boys are …

This is the show that just has never made sense to me. It’s the third season of The Andy Griffith Show, and we’ve already had four or so episodes that deal with Sheriff Andy Taylor’s relationship with Nurse Peggy McMillan. During this time, little Opie Taylor (Ron …

In this episode, we find out Hotch has a younger brother. A very blond younger brother! The girls actually start to gather around when they find out about them. The two look nothing alike, which is funny until Sean, Hotch’s brother yells —˜Do not profile me, Aaron!’ and then …

There was a time when I wouldn’t miss this awards show, but as Hollywood changed and what America watched changed, I lost interest. It never got as bad as the American Music Awards, but it came close sometimes. The thing about this particular awards show is that …

For the six seasons that this show was on the air, I actually enjoyed most of it. In watching the reruns, I can actually see how very corny this program was (and still is.) First of all, Steve Harvey’s brand of comedy was pretty funny in the …

Last night’s new episode of The Simpsons “Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words” probably wasn’t as funny as I expected it to be. However, I’m going to give it points for creativity.
The episode starts out with Homer starting a business where he helps couples break up. This storyline was …
