Due South: Spy vs. Spy

Diagnosis Murder: 35 Millimeter Murder TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: 35 Millimeter Murder starts off interestingly enough with Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) receiving the wrong set of photos that he’d just had developed. This is a great way to start a story. It’s very easy to identify with as I’ll bet it’s happened to …

The Virginian: Vengeance Trail TV Show

The Twilight Zone: Hocus-Pocus and Frisby TV Show
Sitting around, chatting, and listening to fanciful tall tales. That’s the delight and center of The Twilight Zone: Hocus-Pocus and Frisby from 1962. It’s a fun story that includes some harmless stories and some naive aliens, as in aliens from outer space.
Here are a few thoughts about …
Fame: A Musical Bridge
Fame: A Musical Bridge has two fairly decent plots going for it. Neither of them on their own really jumps out at me, but together they do enough to make this an okay show for me. It’s not one of my favorites, but I certainly don’t turn …

As the three-night premier of this season’s Dancing with the Stars continued, it was the ladies who were center stage. There were two ‘wow’ performers for me, and both of them shocked me.
