I’m so amazed that I’m becoming a bit of a Boris Karloff fan. He just is so fun to watch, even if it’s just for a brief introductory scene as he does for this anthology series, Thriller. His openings give viewers a hint of what’s coming, but it’s …

I thought that this was one of the most fascinating episodes from the popular 1990s television show “The X-Files”. I thought it was fascinating first because of the introduction to the show as well as the plot of the whole episode. The characters themselves were also quite interesting especially …

The great and awesome Jimmy Stewart is the Man of the Hour in The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was taped in Las Vegas. Right off the bat, I’ll say that the wonder of this hour is the quality of the talent there to roast Stewart. There …

What can I say about the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards that were recently held in Las Vegas, Nevada? Well, there’s not a lot of good to say. The daytime genre is dying, a victim of cable and technology as well as the lack of inventive …

I had been aware of this attempt at a live action adaptation of the lesser known comic that centers around a team of all female superheroes. I finally decided that it was time to finally check it out. Considering that the show only lasted a season, my …

CSI Season 3 Episode 7- Fight Night
It was a good episode, although I felt like the over complicated it a bit. There were just so many cases. The main case, although interesting when they find the variety of evidence that links several people to the defeat of the boxer, …

From the first time I watched Numb3rs in AXN, I have fallen in love with this show. I remember David Krumholtz (who plays Charlie Eppes in this TV series) as the lovable love interest of Wednesday Addams (I forget his character name there), and I can see that he …

Hawaii Five-O gets into the drug scene with this first season episode called Up Tight. It was only a matter of time before they did an episode on the drug situation considering this show began in the late sixties. The impetus for the story is a young …

I love this edition of Fireball XL5: 1875. Gerry Anderson, the creator of the series, just really amazes me at how he utilizes the puppets and builds stories around them like we’d find in any science fiction TV series. In this one, that genius Professor Matt Matic …

I almost turned this episode off half-way through. I was just sick with the thought of Brian selling himself out like he did in this episode. He has always been so strong, so passionate about his views, and his integrity. Suddenly, he’s …

This episode breaks the format a little in that we don’t get one narrative, rather a series of small stories that focuses on each of the main characters.
We get one for Katara and Toph that has them bonding after Katara invites her for a girls day out. The …

The best thing about The Choir: Unsung Town is that the second episode actually had music, really good music, and that’s why it was fun to watch. Gareth Malone sang and was good, and individuals in this choir in the making were also awesome. I just thought …

I am a great fan of Project Runway, and I have watched all the seasons of the US version. I enjoy the bickering, but I also marvel at the camaraderie that a contest creates with artistic souls. Because I enjoyed this so much, and continue to enjoy it in …

Can a number bring thrill and suspense to television viewers? I’d like to think so and 24 has done a very good job at that.

Beast Wars - Master Blaster is one of the season’s most solid episodes. It features a number of entertaining highlights, the most important of which is Megatron once more gaining access to the Ark and removing the spark of his namesake, the Generation One Megatron, and joining it with …

As the series winds down, That Girl gave us one last typical episode in the name of Two for the Money. In the story, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) is on a modeling assignment at the racetrack. We get to see her doing all kinds of poses and …

Yet another Simpsons episode I haven’t seen before; where have I been. If I had known about the episode “Apocalypse Cow” I wouldn’t have been so quick to write off the later seasons of the show.
This one was actually quite interesting. You have a bored Bart joining the 4-H …

I have always loved cartoons. As a kid, I had all kinds of favorites. Saturday mornings were a joy, and so were weekday mornings before school. As an adult, I still enjoy them. In fact, I’ve purchased a few VHS releases of some of my …

As negotiations begin between the Centauri and the Narn, Londo finds himself enamored by an exotic dancer with a heart of gold. He cites her appearance as “perfection”, which I’m rather torn on. You can tell, just by looking at her face that she’s pretty, but the …

This is a series that I am really glad to have picked up on. I am currently watching season 2 of Dexter because season one enticed me to keep it on my Netflix DVD queue. The show introduces you to its main character: Dexter Morgan. He is …

I consider Remington Steele: In the Steele of the Night to be a miniaturized version of Murder By Death. We have Laura Holt and Murphy Michaels headed to an old friend’s lavish estate for a reunion. These folks apparently all used to work together at the same …

The final part bring the story of Devices and Desires to its conclusion. This is the big moment when Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) solves the puzzle and the viewers get all of the answers. This 1991 six-part story was best on the best-selling novels of P.D. …

This was the results show for week 2 of Dancing with the Stars. Last week, it was David Hasselhoff who was sent packing. That wasn’t such a surprise in my book. Tonight, it may not be a surprise either, considering the judges scoring from the performance …

Full Fathom Five was the first regular episode of the Hawaii Five-O dramatic series, and with it came the addition of James McArthur as Danny Williams. What I really like about this first interaction that we see between Danny and Five-O head, Steve McGarrett, is that it’s not …

Since I’m not a fan of fighting as a sport, I wasn’t particularly taken with Have Gun - Will Travel: The Prize Fight Story from the first season of this western series. Series star Richard Boone had his Paladin character helping out an old friend, first by watching …

“The Last Chapter” is the final episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. “The Dick Van Dyke Show” is easily one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, but it’s series finale, oddly enough, happens to be my least favorite of the series and I can think of many …

The fifth episode of MacGyver’s second season is much better than the fourth one was. MacGyver: Final Approach opens with a neat bit of Mac being killed in a plane crash. Of course, he’s in a simulator, and he’s not thrilled when Pete tells him that he …

Here we go again. You know, I love this series, but they did have the tendency to get very repetitive in their choices. In the case of Star Trek: Bread and Circuses, the Enterprise is tracking down yet another missing spaceship and, yes, the missing captain is …

Burn Notice: Bad Blood was actually the first episode I’d ever seen of Burn Notice and the only reason I watched it was because of the guest star, Michael Shanks. Shanks is my #2 all time favorite actor so I definitely had to watch this show. Not …

This episode had a lot going for it. You had escaped convicts, a deadly virus, a government cover up, all the makings of a blockbuster mini-movie. Yet somehow, the whole was less than the sum of its parts.
I was going to nitpick the idea that …

Run, Babushka, Run was the latest installment of the popular reality show, The Amazing Race. The two lady doctors, Nat and Kat, were the winners of the last leg, so they are the first to leave the pit stop. The ultimate destination was St. Petersburg, Russia, but …

It’s a rainy day in Los Angeles and that means that our California Highway Patrol officers have to patrol in a car instead of on a bike. Again, one of the good things about this series is that it did show us different situations where a CHP officer …

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 …

As reality t.v shows go, Come Dine With Me is a show that does what the title suggests.
Five people from the same area of the U.K who have not met each other before each host a dinner party, which tends to consist of 3 courses and a bit of …

What a marked improvement over the last episode this was. Both plotlines brought laughs throughout. Heck, even Buck had some great dialogue. Which is impressive as, by and large, using voice over to convey animal thoughts, from what I’ve seen, is rarely effective.
It’s interesting how both …

“Mirror, Mirror” is the 5th episode of the fifth season of Desperate Housewives on ABC. This was a great episode that was packed with funny moments while pushing forward the plot with Dave and filling in a lot of holes in the five-year gap from where the show left …

The most disappointing thing about season four’s That Girl: My Part Belongs to Daddy is that for just about the first time, or maybe just the second, they used an interior car scene that was clearly done on the stage. In the past, they’ve done more location shoots …
