Fireball XL5: Planet 46
Fireball XL5: Planet 46 premiered on October 28,1962 and introduced the United States audience to this British import from the mind of Gerry Anderson. It’s a science fiction series done not with actors, but with supermarionation. In other words, these are advanced puppets, and who knew they’d …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Touched with Fire TV Show
Weird is weird and that’s pretty much how I feel about The Ray Bradbury Theater: Touched with Fire despite the fact that it has a guest cast that includes Barry More and Eileen Brennan. Basically the plot of this August 1990 science fiction outing has two aging and …
Ice Road Truckers: Lisa’s Monster Megahaul TV Show
Ice Road Truckers: Lisa’s Monster Megahaul was aptly named because a lot of the hour focused on Lisa Kelly’s assignment to work with Jack and Carrie on a heavy load assignment. Lisa’s my favorite on this show. I like her. She has intelligence and strength of …
Secret Millionaire TV show

Smallville Episode 8.10: Bride

The Twilight Zone: Twenty Two TV Show

Stargate Atlantis: Search and Rescue

From Highway Patrol’s second season in 1957, Stripped Cars gave viewers a bit of something new, and that came by the unique crime scenario.

Trinity blood episode 1 Flight Night
Trinity blood episode 1: Flight Night is a example of an post-apocalyptic vampire story done right.

After Armageddon, vampires or “Methuselah” were …

ER: Old Times
I’m not a fan of ER. I’ve watched a certain number of episodes over the years, but never an entire season; more likely, a handful of shows a season, if that. I’m more attached to the early and middle years as I watched more then and knew …
ESPN’s Monday Night Football
