I really liked this episode. It was very well plotted and quite unusual. I thought it was great the way they broke away from the violent rape and murder pattern and focused on a killer who had chosen a subtler weapon (although not less deadly) to do his thing. …

From November 1993, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Crystal Hawks started off with great curiosity as our hero is on the run, having been accused of murder. While I’m not that thrilled with the murderous drama of the tale, I did like guest star Sheena Easton as …

The Twilight Zone: Nothing in the Dark is one of the classic episodes of Rod Serling’s landmark science fiction series. It’s one of the best, probably in the top ten or fifteen of all the shows produced. It’s a show that most people can identify with and …

Beast Wars - Nemesis Part Two is the final episode of the series and in several ways, it is also one of the most disappointing episodes of the series. I positively hated how several characters were killed off in this episode simply because they “needed to be” since the …

Secret Ballot opens on Halloween with Don Hollinger arriving in costume to tease his girlfriend, Ann Marie, better known as That Girl. The season three story actually has nothing to do with Halloween, but it was a nice way to acknowledge the event without devoting an entire episode …

Code Geass Episode 7 has Cornelia setting a trap for Zero in hopes that he’ll reappear so she can capture him. Lelouch goes, hoping that he’ll be able to outsmart her and win, but things don’t go as planned.
This episode was really good because it introduces us to …

Every year, Project Runway tries to find challenges to trip up even its best designers. And, having the contestants design ring attire for the Divas of Monday Night Raw was definitely an interesting twist.
My wife does some sewing and I’ve seen her struggle with simple spandex outfits. So, trying …

Oh, how easily things get complicated on this show. That is nerve wrecking and fantastic. On one hand you just want this nightmare to be over, on the other, you don’t want their troubles to ever stop.
After making their escape from the motel and kidnapping the cameraman, Michael, Lincoln …

Wax Poetic is the last show to air of Blacke’s Magic, starring Hal Linden as Alexander Blacke and Harry Morgan as Leonard Blacke. It has one of the best guest casts of its season, too, led by the magnificent Vincent Price. The actor was approximately 75 when …

Much as I don’t like Jaffa-centered stories, I’m also not fond of the Abydonian storylines on this series either. Stargate SG-1: Secrets, however, is a story that takes place in good part on Abydos. It’s been one Abydonian year to the day that Daniel left the planet …

Laramie: The Lawless Seven has always been one of my favorite episodes. I just love the drama, the characters, the action, and the hint of romance that exists within the hour of this exciting western TV series. The focus in this particular episode is on Robert Fuller’s …

Fireball XL5: Space Monster started out as a hoot. The beautiful blonde space doctor, Venus, was dancing to an ancient dance called the Twist. What’s more, that cute little Lazoon named Zoonie was dancing the Twist, too. It was just hysterical in all good ways. …

Stargate SG-1: Insiders is the first of four shows during the season that is without Michael Shanks. As the star of the show, Shanks had learned from the former star, Richard Dean Anderson, and he’d negotiated for these weeks off so he could be home for two important …

About A Girl is a television series which is funnily enough about a girl. The girl in question is Amy, now Amy has gone off to college and had a dorm sorted out but it didn’t work out so she had to move into off campus accomodation. …

Hawaii Five-O: Six Kilos is another showcase for Jack Lord. So many episodes are nearly solo vehicles for Lord, and this is another one of them. The rest of the cast are relegated to brief moments on the screen as McGarrett checks in with them.
In Six Kilos, McGarrett …

It’s Friday in Springfield and the whole town is celebrating the occasion in their own unique way. Homer, not surprisingly, spends the night at Moe’s, gets drunk and walks home.
Things take a turn, however, when he has a close encounter with a strange glowing being.
I remember …

The Prisoner: The General takes the theory of speed reading and turns it into speed learning, something the villainous Number Two (Colin Gordon for the second time) wants to use to try and brainwash the citizens of The Village. It’s an odd method that works to an extent.
The …

In 1998’s From the Earth to the Moon - Part 1: Can We Do This?, Russians beat the Americans into space, rushing the United States to get a man in space in short order. Freedom 7 puts America on the space map and makes Alan Shepard a hero. …

A Man Called Hawk: Poison, which originally aired on television in March 1989, focused on the drug war. Unfortunately, what it shows is that we really haven’t come far at all. In fact, we’ve gone nowhere. That’s what the program is evidence of because we’re still …

I had a few minutes to watch TV yesterday afternoon while our pizza was cooking and ended up watching a re-run of That 70s show. The re-run was of the episode Hot Dog; the episode where Eric proposes to Donna.
This is actually a pretty good episode because I remember …

Friday night’s episode of Psych was an OK episode but nothing that was overly impressive compared to other episodes from the series.
This one, which had a great introductory song sung by the group Boys II Men, focused a great deal on Gus and his past; including his college days …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Invaders is the 20th show of this fun television series from the mid-sixties which stars Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. Robert Duvall (using just one ‘L’ in his name back then) was the primary …

Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Hot Sauce was another good outing, even though it wasn’t totally my style. The thing is that I really like watching Lucinda. She appears just like any common, everyday woman. Her kitchen set isn’t pretentious. Yes, it has all …

Wow, that was a great episode of Destination Truth last night.
First, they traveled to South America (again) to hunt down a mythical creature called Chullachaqui; which looks a lot like a goblin. When we first started watching this I told my wife there was no way they would find …

Date My Mom by MTV is a reality show that send the dater on a date with the mother of the prospectful date. Let’s say that you are invited on a date, instead of you going for yourself, you send your mother instead, giving your mother certain guidlines to …

It was Saira versus Tim in the finale of The Apprentice - UK, and it started off very wonky in my opinion. For one thing, just like in the American version, Sir Alan Sugar brought back the other contestants and the two finalists were allowed to choose three …

Stargate SG-1: Ripple Effect is hands down the best episode of the entire final two seasons of this series. While not perfect, it was fun, and it let us revisit with much-loved characters on the show.
In essence, SG-1 gets diverted to an alternate reality, as do numerous other …

A.J. Cook’s swan song is this second episode of the new season, Criminal Minds: JJ. A lot of fans are angry to see this show come to fruition. Cook was fired during the hiatus in a supposed downsizing move. Paget Brewster came close to suffering the …

I haven’t seen any episodes of the old television show Emergency in some time now. But, we had dinner at my parents’ last night and my dad was watching it so I ended up watching one with him; “Zero.”
This episode turned out to be halfway interesting. You have a …

In Plain Sight: Stan by Me picks up where the last show ended, continuing the action the next day. Brandi still isn’t being honest with anyone, and now the FBI are after her. It seems two FBI agents have been killed, and the FBI is looking for …

They regroup at the mansion and come to the conclusion that their …

One thing that I remember about the final season of this great series is that they mentioned in some way just about all of the early cast members, giving everyone a final nod. I always thought that was classy. In M*A*S*H: The Joker Is Wild, it’s Trapper …

Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 6 begins with Aang and his friends arriving at an earth bending mining town where they discover that earth bending has been forbidden. Katara urges a boy named Haru to fight back and soon after he is arrested for earth bending. Katara …

This was the big show for season seven’s So You Think You Can Dance. After a two hour performance show last night, this was the two hour results show. I’m not really sure why they feel like they have to do a two hour show, except that …

The Good Wife: Taking Control picks up at the press conference that we saw at the end of the last episode from the first season. Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) is again throwing his hat into the political ring. The question at the start of the hour is will …

The final episode of season three of MacGyver centers around martial arts master Ernie Reyes Jr. He’d just finished a season of his own TV show called Sidekicks that unfortunately only lasted thirteen episodes. In Murderers’ Sky, the fourteen-year-old Luke Chen is out to avenge his grandfather’s …

I like cable so much better that I do regular Television. There is such a better mix of material on cable than on regular television. One series that is on television is called Myth Busters.
There is this group of men and women that gather together to break …

In MacGyver: Bushmaster, MacGyver is sent to rescue a downed pilot named Joe Henderson. A complication ensues when Joe’s daughter, Kelly, shows up, wanting to rescue her father herself. Kelly’s on a mission to prove to her dad that she’s every bit the son he never had …

I followed this team of FBI agents dedicated to looking for missing people. Their office is in New York. It also includes stories about the personal lives of the agents. This has run for seven seasons, but there are reports that there will be no eight season.
I am …

Project Runway: There’s a Pattern Here was another intriguing 90 minutes of entertainment. Following are some thoughts on this episode:
–This was the return of the HP challenge where the designers draw their own designs onto an HP touch computer. It is then printed out and will become the …

Jack Dalton is back again, only this time he thinks he’s going as crazy as I think his character really is. He’s sleepwalking and picturing himself shooting MacGyver. Something’s amiss, and he needs Mac to help him figure out what it is. The episode is called Brainwashed, …

Columbo: Candidate for Crime is not a favorite by any stretch of the imagination. It’s a political tale, and those tend to bore me. I’m not into the political arena all that much so a show that is all about running for office and the associated corruption …

Family Guy continues its eighth run with this Brian focused episode, “Dog Gone” a pretty standard tale of Brian at odds with the world that doesn’t really deliver too many laughs, but proves a funny enough outing in this largely mediocre eighth season.
When Brian hears his novel “Faster …

After the flashback in the previous episode, the story continues where they have left off in episode 15. The prisoners’ plans for escape have been sabotaged by a replaced pipe at the nursery and now they are trying to put the alternative plan in motion. This one is a …

Just like the pilot did, this episode centers around the existence of extra-terrestrials. Whereas the pilot focused on the phenomenon of abductions, this one put more of an emphasis on the conspiracy theories that the military is covering it up and running tests on alien technology.
Not surprisingly, Mulder …

What are the odds? Mr. Spock would say they were astronomical, I’m sure, but this isn’t Star Trek, so I suppose the odds don’t matter. In Stargate: Infinity: Mentor, Major Gus Bonner and his team go to a world where they run into Bonner’s mentor, Harley Sheppard, …

Green Acres - Hawaiian Honeymoon is the second to last episode of the series, although the writers were not aware of this at the time. Had they been, I do not think that they would have used this script. This episode is more about creating a spin-off series with …

Airing in February 1960, Sea Hunt: Cobalt Bomb, a third season story, had Mike Nelson, our ace diving expert, once again working in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. I suppose the reason for this was to give Nelson a chance to work in other areas, or come up with …

Right away, this episode held big promises with comedy legends Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd speaking as themselves. It was supposed to be funny and entertaining. The episode hit rock bottom on both promises, fulfilling none of them.
Now that Cleveland has …

There’s only a few more Monk episodes remaining before the show is permanently done. And, I think it is definitely about time. The episode “Mr. Monk and the Magician” is a good reason.
It was an interesting twist having Monk’s neighbor Kevin Dorfman being the murder victim this time around. …
