This episode feels like a sequel to an episode I haven’t seen. In this episode, Solomon Grundy is brought back from the dead. Since he is a zombie I’m not entirely certain how that works, but it doesn’t matter because he’s not really very important to the episode.
Just like …

The First season of Spooks/MI-5 was absolutely brilliant in acting and in they way it was brought to the public?s attention. This 6 episode, first season is the best and it will never beat that season. No matter how many seasons they will more of it.

The Twilight Zone: It’s a Good Life is considered a classic episode of this great science fiction series. It is indeed very good. It’s a powerful tale, but it’s really an evil and frightening story, and it’s not one I like to watch. Maybe it’s because …

If you are not already familiar with Graham Hancock and his work, consider yourself lucky. Hancock is a quack of the most irritating variety, unable to come up with interesting theories and basing what theories he has on such ludicrous supposition as to make it not crazy enough …

The intro teams Batman up with the Blue Beetle, not Jaime but Ted Kord. They’re exploring some undefined hideout. The banter between the two was well done, discussing the drawbacks of various gadgets and how no one appreciates the brains behind it all.

What I liked about …

It seems every show has to do at least one story in their Mexican suburb and another in their Chinatown segment, and they are always about corruption and murder. Private Eye didn’t even bother to separate these shows. It’s last episode was done in the barrio of …

I was rather surprised when I realized that TLC was releasing a show called “Who Are You Wearing.” I was even more surprised to see an old school mate hosting the show. Keisha Nash-Whitaker (wife of Oscar Award winner, Forest Whitaker) hosts a show in which …

This is a unique show on Spike. It’s actually a Japanese game show that relies on strange physical challenges and obstacle courses. While this might be entertaining in its own right, the true entertainment value of the show comes from its dubbing. They’ve thrown out any …

Hawaii Five-O: Tiger by the Tail begins with a young singer performing in a nightclub. Then he gets kidnapped right after the show. The execution of this scene was pretty lame, even for the era. It’s not the plot; it’s just how it was directed …

Stargate SG-1: Affinity is a decent entry into the eighth season of this long-time television show. After all these years, Teal’c is finally allowed to get an apartment outside the base, but his constant involvement in community situations, particularly involving crimes, is a cause of concern for Washington.
There’s …

The Bernie Mack show is just great. I loved this show since the first time I saw it on TV. I now watch this show ever day. As you know Bernie Mack is a comedian and he is very funny. In the show he gets really crazy and wild.
The show …

Full House Season 4 is almost when the show tried to “jump the shark”. Granted it was a transitional time for the show as the kids were starting to grow, but things were still a little odd.
Little Michelle was now a toddler, and fully capable of talking. The …

The fourth show of the fourth season on TV, Highway Patrol: Transmitter Danger was another show that focused on dynamite. They’ve done this a couple of times so it wasn’t the freshest of plots to be doing in this half hour show. This show is about the …

Criminal Minds Season 3 Episode 4-Children of the Dark
This episode is a bit different than the usual formula. The identity of the criminals is revealed at the very beginning, but there was a good reason why the writers had made that choice. The story tells of a series of …

The Virginian: Dangerous Road was interesting to me mostly because the main guest star was Robert Pine. Pine became a household name to me when the TV series, CHiPs aired on television. The funny thing is that I didn’t even recognize him. I’d never seen him …

Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1 was an okay show. The show is getting a reputation now for star injuries, and this season two contestants didn’t even make it to the first show. Both Jewel and Nancy O’Dell had to withdraw for injuries.
Jewel was replaced by …

This past weekend, my wife was away for the weekend so I hade a chance to watch television unencumbered by the thought process. When such opportunities occur, I often find myself watching either old TV shows, or westerns. This week I got to do both.
I find episode number four …

Bravo’s show Top Chef is quite exciting to watch. While I myself hate to cook the show has very interesting challenges to the people fighting for the title Top chef. While it is like your regular reality shows where one gets taken off the show weekly, its …

Eventually, even the most popular shows end up coming full circle and, either because they try too hard to re-invent themselves or because they run out of legitimate talent, they start showing some decline. This is especially true when it comes to reality television because you are always trying …

The first time I watched the episode “Dear Sally Rogers” of “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” I had high hopes for the ending of the episode. I felt that since this was a fifth season episode and with the end of the series clearly in sight, the writers were …

The Simpsons has been around forever and it’s the kind of show everybody knows about.
Those of you that haven’t seen it are missing out. Why? Because it’s funny and it’s current. By current I mean that the writers keep the material fresh and relevant to what …

What I loved about this fourth episode of The Amazing Race’s 17th season is that it showed the teams giving back a little by helping to renovate an elementary school. Survivor started giving back years ago, so why it’s taken The Amazing Race so long to realize that …

I finally got a chance to start season 2 of the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, starting with the first episode “When She was Bad.” And, I have to say this episode was pretty good.
One of my biggest complaints about the series is they never show the traumatic …

Oh my gosh, we’ve gone over the top. I’d say we’d reached a new low, but the topic of Hair Battle Spectacular is the top of the head, as in hair. To be specific, fantasy hair. I hadn’t imagined that. This show rips off all …

I just switched to this service today, November 2, 2010. Although I have been with Shaw Cable for about three years now, I felt that it was about time to switch to digital TV programming to see how it works.
So I went to the Shaw Cable office which …

M*A*S*H: Give and Take has some intriguing story elements to it that hold the viewer interest and make this eleventh season episode worth watching. This is actually the second to the last episode, and I don’t think it’s an accident that they aired this show when they did.
The …

The story revolves around Light Yagami, a high-school student, head of his …

Here are a few thoughts from Friday night’s Monk episode; Mr. Monk and the Dog:
One of the themes in this final season of Monk seems to be Monk’s willingness to try to get over his phobias. Earlier, he conquered his claustrophobia and, in this episode, he took in a …

CSI Season Seven is one of the good seasons, but I didn’t get to see it until I bought the DVD set. Usually I don’t watch CSI because it’s on the same time as one of my favorite shows. I like CSI, but I like the other show better. …
