The Twilight Zone: Steel TV Show

The Simpsons: Tree House of Horror XX
I have watched pretty much every Simpsons Tree House of Horrors episode since the first one and have been very disappointed with some of the more recent episodes. My biggest complaint is they often use some sort of movie spoof of a film that isn’t even a horror movie …
The Jeffersons - Florence’s Problem
The Jeffersons didn’t touch on serious subjects too often like the series it was spin-off from, namely All in the Family, but in the case of this episode, “Florence’s Problem”, it did try to explore a situation that wasn’t entirely comedy-themed, although the writers still manage to give characters …
Highway Patrol: License Plates TV Show

Firefly: Ariel
Ariel is perhaps the best episode of Firefly, and that is saying a lot. Joss Whedon’s characterization is in top form during this episode. He’s been hinting since the pilot that the only thing that Jayne is really loyal to is money. This episode brings that …
MacGyver: The Spoilers
Season three was not the year for me to be watching MacGyver. Right now I’m not sure if I watched all of these or not because I’m just way too animal sensitive to watch shows where animals are killed. I cry and get too depressed. Kill …

The Simpsons: Homer the Whopper
One of the shows we ended up watching Sunday night was the Simpson’s season premiere “Homer the Whopper.”

MacGyver: Flame’s End
Season one of MacGyver continues on with an episode called Flame’s End which featured Tannis Montgomery as Amy Austin. The actress had a short career and according to the IMDB, this was actually her last performance. Watching it again now, I kept wondering why she looked so …

The Universe: The Earth

The Singing Bee (CMT version)

The Prisoner: The Girl Who Was Death
Strange, weird, and nonsensical. That’s how I’d describe The Prisoner: The Girl Who Was Death, which has Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) mysteriously back in London and tracking down a scientist being protected by his strange daughter. There’s no explanation for the opening of the story. It …

Dick VanDyke Show
Ok, I confess, I’ve never watched the Dick VanDyke show before and the only reason I watched it the other night was it came on after another show I was watching and I was too lazy to walk across the room to grab the remote control.
However, I will admit, …

The Twilight Zone: Ring-A-Ding Girl TV Show
