Mrs. Columbo: The Valley Strangler TV Show
Mrs. Columbo: The Valley Strangler is from the second season of this mishandled crime adventure drama. I’d forgotten that in this second season they’d divorced the Columbos. I think that is also why it failed. They even had her going back to using her maiden name …

Burn Notice: Do No Harm
There is just something cool about Burn Notice. It’s hard to pin down. Bruce Campbell helps of course and seeing him have a bit more serious role in this episode was fun, but it’s more than that. It’s the entire style, from the voice overs which explain …
Due South: Good for the Soul

Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Bells to Perdido
Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Bells to Perdido is the first episode of this series and it dates back to 1957. That’s a time when black and white was all that was on the TV screen and back when stereotypes existed. I mention this because this …

MASH: Foreign Affairs

First, you have a Korean pilot being captured and, because …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot
Much like “The Real Ghostbusters”, I’ve had the complete X-Files series on DVD for some time, yet never got around to sitting down and watching them. So, much like with the aforementioned cartoon, I decided to give it a watch through now.
This was a frustrating show …

Awkward (TV series)
In 2013 I got introduced to a series named Awkward that still airs on MTV. While I generally gravitate to more mature television series, I liked it at first because I found that there were some things I could identify with even though I’m no longer a teenager, and …

The Twilight Zone: Probe 7, Over and Out TV Show
I have one word for The Twilight Zone: Probe 7, Over and Out, and the word is: rerun. If you want a phrase, it would be: been there, done that. While the story elements are different, this is a re-do of an earlier story called Two with …
Lost: Jughead

E! True Hollywood Story

Each episode features a biography of either individual celebrities or individual television shows and movies. I find most of them pretty interesting to watch, since they give you a background on famous people we …
Star Trek: Let That Be Your Last Battlefield TV Show
I must admit that Star Trek: Let That Be Your Last Battlefield is one show I’m rarely eager to watch. It’s a show that has prejudice as its theme, thanks to two warring aliens who hate each other because of their physical differences. This is an interesting …
The Apprentice - UK - Week 10
In Week 10 of The Apprentice - UK, the two small teams had to select and sale products on one of Britain’s home shopping networks. Donald Trump has done that in America’s Apprentice, too, so it was a familiar concept. Even though the premise wasn’t new, this …

Marriage Ref: March 4, 2010
Last week after the Olympics concluded, I watched the half-hour premier of Marriage Ref, a show from the apparently deluded mind of Jerry Seinfeld. My review was very harsh. Basically, I thought this show was a piece of junk. Last night, since there was an opportunity …

TruTv All Worked Up
After watching the premiere episodes of “All Worked Up” via TruTv; I have to say that my stomach stirred from receiving a bad case of “Operation Repo”.
Was it me or did this show stink of “Operation Repo” nonsense? First, either the respondents were horrible F rated actors or normal …
Heroes show
Heroes is a show on NBC and it’s one of their top rated shows if you ask me. If you’ve never seen an episode of Heroes, although I don’t know who hasn’t, it’s about people with special abilities. Basically the show follows a handful of people with special abilities …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device TV Show
From July 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device is actually a pretty interesting story, though there are elements that I’m not as fond of. What happens is that two men, disheveled and obviously down on their luck, are traveling along a desert highway …

Sea Hunt: Sonar Story TV Show
This particular show, Sonar Story, the tenth outing of the adventure series’ fourth season, felt very slow and dull to me. So much of it was underwater, but it wasn’t showing sea life or some natural phenomenon of the ocean; rather, it was Mike Nelson tracking down heroin …
Happy Days TV Episode: A Case of Revenge
I had some free time before work this morning and, since my wife was on the computer, I ended up watching some TV.

Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 3: Tooth and Claw
The teaser for this from the previous episode really had me hyped up. Doctor Who battling a werewolf in 19th Century Scotland alongside Queen Victoria seems like one of those cracktastic plots that are hard to screw up. I figured it would act as a spiritual successor …
Family Guy, The Series
The Family Guy series is so far the best animated cartoon ever! This is just non-stop laughter. Even some of the quotes are almost impossible to stop laughing at. The flashbacks are super humorous also. I think those are the two factors Family Guy grasped completely; pauses and flashbacks. …

This episode featured the three boys on the show putting up a ruckus at a restaurant (something our daughter is bad about too) and prompting Tim to show …
Desperate Housewives
Desperate Housewives is as crunchy as the popcorns I gorge on during the show! The first season was Fantabulous and the second is even more spicier. The foxy four leading ladies keep getting themslves into embarrasing-hilarious-steamy situations in every episode.
My personal favorite is the role of Eva Longoria as …

Highlander the Series - 105 - Freefall
„Freefall” is the fifth episode in the first season of Highlander. It also guest stars Joan Jett as Felicia Martins.

Judge Judy (American Court show)
I’ve started watching the TV program Judge Judy back in 2007 when at that time I don’t really have much thing to do at home while I was pregnant with my first child. This TV program is about an American reality based show which features Judith Sheindlin which …
The Secret Life Of The American Teenager
One night I was at home bored, channel surfing. I came across The Secret Life Of The American Teenager marathon on ABC Family. Now, i’m usually not interested in these types of shows, especially not the sitcoms from ABC Family. However, I kept hearing and seeing all the promotional …
