That Girl: Kimono My House
While it’s cute enough, I’ve never really liked That Girl: Kimono My House all that much. I can’t really point out any special reason why it’s not a favorite, but that’s just the way I feel about it.
Apparently, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to Don Hollinger’s (Ted Bessell) …
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part One
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part One is an episode that has some strengths, but unfortunately, some weaknesses as well. Let me first start with what I did not like because these are problems that bother me each and every time I watch the episode. First of all, the …
Quincy M.E.: Hit and Run at Danny’s TV show

Columbo: A Matter of Honor TV Show

Voltron: Escape to another planet
I’ve been watching episodes of the old cartoon show Voltron and today was the second episode in the series “Escape to another planet.”
While the animation in this cartoon still remains a bit weak compared to today’s cartoons, the plot itself definitely continues to be interesting; though I’m normally not …
Drop Dead Diva show
Drop Dead Diva is a new TV series on the Lifetime channel. It comes on at 9 p.m. eastern time on Sundays. I was skeptical about this show because it’s on Lifetime, and Lifetime is one of those channels that provides TV movies and shows that are a tad …
Mr. Monk and the Earthquake
Today was the first time I’ve seen the Monk episode Mr. Monk and the Earthquake since it first was broadcast in season 1. And, I still find it entertaining.

The Professionals Television programme
The Professionals was (and still is) the coolest show in history. Curly hair, Ford Capris and flared trousers all make this the best cop show on either side of the Atlantic.
I loved this show because it had terrific action scenes in it. In fact, there was only …
The Cosby Show
I watched The Cosby Show when I was a kid and I watched the reruns for years. I loved that show and I think it had a lot of good things to offer.

In M*A*S*H: The Tooth Shall Set You Free, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) has a nasty toothache but refuses to see a dentist, actually denying he’s in pain at all.

Hot in Cleveland: A TV Comedy Series
Betty White is my all-time favorite comedy actress. She was my favorite in The Golden Years. She brings this excellent comedic timing in Hot in Cleveland.
The storyline is simple enough —“ three women from Los Angeles whose careers in the entertainment industry are in their twilight years are marooned …
Highway Patrol: Lie Detector TV Show
Lie Detector is an intriguing early look at the technology of the lie detector which occurred in this 1956 episode of Highway Patrol.
Actually, the first thing I noticed in Lie Detector is that star Broderick Crawford wasn’t seen in the first several minutes. I don’t believe that’s been …
Inspector Gadget (TV Show) - The Amazon (Episode)

Law and Order SPecial Victims Unit (Noctourne) Episode

24 Season 1 Episode 13
Anyone who watched the TV Series 24 is probably by now very much aware of how addictive it really is. It is probably due to the fact that the show is taking place in real time during a 24 hour period. This way, every episode is connect to the …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Utterly Perfect Murder TV Show
Airing in February 1992, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Utterly Perfect Murder was oddly intriguing and even compelling, which disturbs me a little. The show’s main star was Richard Kiley, who normally isn’t someone who captures my interest. That said, I have to admit that there was …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Black Handkerchief TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Black Handkerchief from season 3 was a somewhat entertaining show with definite problems and conflicts. The biggest one for me was actor Ed Nelson. Nelson was definitely a working actor. He did a ton of TV, but the problem here …

Charmed
This was one of my favourite shows (well, at least until the last series which wasn’t so good!)
I’m into all things supernatural, magic and pagan, and I especially like my entertainment to have witches in it! Well, this programme has three (or more, depending on the …

With the success of Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas a few years earlier, in 2004, viewers were given Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas, a compilation of several short animated stories that focus on the holidays. They entertain and delight, and they teach valuable lessons of living that apply …
ESPN’s Monday Night Football
I used to like to watch Monday night football when the game was enhnaced by good television sports casters such as Howard Cosell, John Madden, and Al Micheals. Now I just mute it. I don’t know why but I just don’t feel it with the current announcers. …
The Sweetest Apu
Well, if Simpsons character Apu can mess up and cheat on his wife, then you know all men have a problem. That’s just what happened in the episode The Sweetest Apu.
Of course, you really can’t blame him considering his wife is hot but probably is exhausted after taking care …
Highway Patrol: Hostage Officer TV Show
The third season of the half hour police drama, Highway Patrol, continued on with its amazing 36th episode, entitled Hostage Officer. I do love the early days of television, in the fifties and sixties where TV seasons lasted this long, and even longer.
In the case of Hostage Officer from …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 24: Our Town
This episode is a letdown, really that’s all there is to it. Between the fact that it follows up the extra-ordinary “Soft Light” and comes right before the season finale, you’d think that this would be a big episode. Sadly, the opposite holds true and the whole …
Inspector Gadget (TV Show) - Basic Training (Episode)

Spartacus:Blood and Sand
The new TV series, Spartacus: Blood and Sand is a TV series that can be seen on the STARZ channel. However, a couple of the first episodes have been leaked and let me assure you, they do not disappoint. There has been a ton of blood, sex, and violence …
M*A*S*H: Taking the Fifth
M*A*S*H: Taking the Fifth is somewhat of a bore in my opinion. I didn’t really like either of the two main stories that take up the thirty minutes that this show airs. One segment dealt with Corporal Max Klinger (Jamie Farr) paying off a debt to Hawkeye …
Stargate SG-1: Stronghold
From the near perfect to ridiculousness, this is the path season nine of Stargate SG-1 has taken. In Stargate SG-1: Stronghold, there is one plot that is so unbelievable that it stunned me.
Mitchell has a friend who is dying. This guy was his competition, so it goes, …
Miss America Pageant 2010
Hosted by Mario Lopez with help by Clinton Kelly and Jeannette Carlson, the Miss America Pageant 2010 aired on the TLC channel.

Alias Season 1 Episode 1 - Truth Be Told

Top Gear tv show
I have been watching the TV show “top gear” for a while now and it is one of my favorite shows on TV. Even if you aren’t interested in cars or racing you can be entertained by this show. Most car shows on TV are very factual and …
Wagon Train: The Widow O’Rourke Story
Wagon Train: The Widow O’Rourke Story is one of my favorites. It’s really quite different and interesting, and Robert Fuller gets to play two parts. Along with his regular role as Cooper Smith, the scout for the wagon train, in flashbacks he plays the Irish husband of …
Stargate SG-1: Descent
The weirdest thing about Stargate SG-1: Descent is that I don’t understand why Major Davis (well played recurringly by Colin Cunningham) is on the mission with SG-1 and Jacob. Apparently, he’s got some scientific reason for being on board, but the man is supposed to be the Pentagon …

Gareth Malone’s Extraordinary School for Boys TV Show
Okay, who is this Gareth Malone really? I know he’s British and that he loves music, but is he really someone with an award winning history and/or outstanding reputation? I can’t tell, and I really don’t know. I’m left to ponder the query though with the advent …
Thriller: God Grante That She Lye Stille TV Show
From season two of Thriller, viewers were presented an episode entitled, God Grante That She Lye Stille. It doesn’t come as any surprise that this black and white anthology series tale takes place back during the witch hunts of the late 1600’s. In fact, it opens with …
