Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn Rustic Italian Recipes began with the approachable cook talking about gay pesto, as in fun food and good pesto and pasta to eat. I so often learn from Quinn, and that continues to fascinate me. This first segment was focused on …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Man Who Wouldn’t Talk from season two is highly entertaining. It even brought on chuckles, especially when Charles Bronson is asking Richard Boone for advice on how to be romantic. There’s a great bit concerning Cyrano de Bergerac. One of …

There is no denying that Starhunter is a show with a lot of heart. That is one of the reasons that I like it so much. Sure, they didn’t have the highest budget to work with or even the greatest talent, but you could tell that they …

Best known for her role as one of the kids on Eight is Enough, Connie Needham stars in Fame: To Soar and Never Falter, a first season entry for this series I so often enjoy watching. Basically, Needham’s character is Kathy Murphy, one of the students at the …

After watching the last season two episode “Crescent Hills & Dr. Ellis” I was half expecting a big let down from the episode that followed it on the DVD “Waverly Hills.”
But, I will say, despite that anticipation, I wasn’t disappointed.
This episode brought the TAPS team to a run down …

“The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest” was one of my favorite animated television shows which aired in the 90s when I was still a child. The first place I used to watch it was on cable television channels until it finally started to air on Saturdays on a local …

The local television show and sometimes series “Hilla nd Gully Ride” had been going on for years on a certain local television channel on a Sunday evening before I stopped watching and never saw it air again. When I was much younger especially since I was less mature and …

Now this is an enjoyable show. I just love, love, love Diagnosis Murder: Naked Babes, which I thought was cute and inventive with some awesome surprise guest casting.
Basically, Amanda is hosting a dinner party at her home. Her guests are her hospital family — Mark, Jack, Delores, …

From 1988, Max Headroom: Baby Grobags is the final episode of this unique series. Though there are relatively few programs completed in its run, they mostly all have a point of view and something to say.
In Baby Grobags, Amanda Hillwood guest stars as Helen. She and her …

“Whatever you can say about Michael, he wouldn’t have done that,” is the line of the episode. Watching “The Office” is about watching Michael do stupid things, but it’s good to be reminded occasionally that he has his good points and though in real like he almost certainly …

“Learn How to Be Skinny from Usagi” is the fourth episode of the Sailor Moon series. This is an episode that I feel doesn’t quite have as interesting of a story as some of the previous ones or some that followed after it. The heart of the story is …

“The Return of Happy Spangler” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode of the series relies on good old fashioned slapstick comedy perhaps more than any other episode of the series. The last five minutes or so of the episode are devoted purely to slapstick …

CHiPs: Neighborhood Watch has a variety of interesting little stories that comprise the episode. One that I enjoy a lot involve the mischievous adventures of four neighborhood children, who keep ending up in trouble. They are quite believable in their antics. Robbie Rist, K.C. Martel, Lauri …

As I predicted with last week’s Models of the Runway episode, the show is starting to get a bit on the predictable side. Once a designer is eliminated, it is pretty much a given his model will be too since the designers always seem to stick with their models; …

The town holds a meeting in order to discuss how to increase tourism to Springfield. First Patty and Selma share their idea of changing Springfield to Seinfeld. Marge then tells that they should have a film festival. They can have even their own films about themselves. The town all …

A Man Called Hawk: Life After Death is the end of the line for this Spenser for Hire spin off starring Avery Brooks as the bald-headed avenger. The show best shows of the series were ones that included Angela Bassett in the cast. Bassett aside, though, the …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Fires of Death is the first entry of this hit science fiction series’ fourth and final year on the air. In this season opener, the Seaview and its guest, Dr. Turner, have a tall order, to stop a volcano from erupting. …

This is the final episode of the first season of MacGyver. By now, the producers had figured out that Dana Elcar was a plus to the show. He’s in it once again, and like the show before, he has more action. In many of his first …

It was just a few shows back where we got to see Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) stand up to a bully on The Andy Griffith Show. This time around, it’s not a bully that the young boy has to deal with it, but a new friend who is …

I wasn’t real impressed with The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Day It Rained Forever, a story of this science fiction anthology series that originally was seen on television in November 1990. The acting was okay, but I wasn’t taken by the story. It was slow, lacked much …

Death Note Episode 22 begins with Misa playing the recording of Higuchi revealing that he is the third Kira. L decides he won’t arrest Higuchi until he learns how Higuchi kills people. He decides to trick Higuchi by using a fake Sakura TV special so that Higuchi …

What I first noticed about this episode is how completely the producer and screen writer can thoroughly turn people’s lives upside down, and they do a good job of it here. There is a whole lot of uncertainty throughout the show, uncertainty that causes other problems even the break …

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 …

The Sony BRAVIA 32 inch LCD TV is a flat panel wide screen LCD HDTV. It is a thin, silver unit with a small base that swivels, oh yea and it is as cool as it sounds. The resolution of the TV is 1024×768 which is pretty basic, but …

I am not completely sure how long the hit reality show “Jon and Kat + 8″ have been going on on TLC. I think it might have started last year though and I can distinctly remember wanting to see the pilot of it when I saw it advertising; since …

If House were a medical drama I wouldn’t be interested in watching it, and if it were a typical soap opera type show I wouldn’t care either. I have never been interested in formulaic television. House has a formula in some shows, but the formula isn’t the show it …

My daughter had on cartoons this past Saturday and was watching several re-runs of the show The Jetsons. I really wasn’t paying too much attention to what she was watching until one episode came on TV; Jane’s Driving Lesson.
OK, I know the episode is pretty sexist and relies on …

From December 1982, Voyagers!: An Arrow Pointing East takes on a whopper of a legend, that of Robin Hood and his merry band of followers. It’s hard to do a bad Robin Hood because it’s just such a fun mixture of personalities. Dan Hamilton portrays Robin and …

Ok, I have to say the latest Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors (number XIX) was absolutely hillarious. It was a genius bit of writing that you haven’t seen on the show in a while.
The middle skit on the show, where Homer is hired to kill celebrities, isn’t the greatest but …

Buddy shows, that is shows that focus chiefly on two friends working together, are at their best when they focus on the buddies together. Sadly, and usually due to ego and agents, shows ultimately happen that split the team up. One goes one way, and the other goes …

I have never seen the season three episode of Psych called Talk Derby to Me until today, when I ended up watching it on Netflix Instant Watch because the kids were both in bed and my wife was glued to the computer (she is obsessed with a game she …

This was a great day to start my story about my life and all the people you will know as time ticks on. Days and months which pass and yes, even years. But no I am not going into lots of detail throughout my story. I will tell you my …

In the company that I work for right now, there was a recent drawing for all the employees in a celebration-ceremony. Expecting that my luck, like always, wouldn’t get me drawn; I went for the free food and drinks. So when I heard my name that I had selected …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Booby Trap is an episode that is quite good. What I particularly like about this episode is the music. It is exceptionally good in achieving a sense of wonder and awe in scenes that warrant it, while in other scenes, projecting tension and …

From October 1973, Star Trek: The Magicks of Megas-Tu continues the animated adventures of the USS Enterprise, and this time, Captain Kirk and the crew find themselves being swept away to the magical world of Megas-Tu. It’s a place of magicians and wizards apparently, only the man named …

Well, at least the second episode in the Fairly Oddparents series isn’t too bad. This one, entitled “Power Mad” lets us meet Timmy’s best friends, Chester and AJ in a way that is kind of interesting.
Since he has fairies who can grant him just about everything, Timmy keeps wishing …

Ok, when I saw a show that starred Tim Gunn, I figured maybe there was something different on television. I was seriously wrong.
Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style, while admittedly sometimes entertaining, is nothing more than a rehashed version of every other makeover show on television.
Let me summarize ‘Well, Mrs. …

I watched this episode less than 24 hours ago (I taped it) and it’s like a big blur thinking back on it. Nothing really stood out to me. It was the typical last show before the finale. The winner of the week’s competition received catered food, …

Characteristic of many a television series coming out of the United States of America, Gilmore Girls has a certain flirtatious appeal about it from a distance, and I am so glad I had nothing better to do, about four or five years back one evening, and decided to sit …

We have more mysterious clouds in Fireball XL5: The Fire Fighters. It’s a plot device that is in another episode as well, though not exactly the same as it is here. One of the things that is happening is that meteors or some kind of fiery balls …

Person of Interest is a crime drama television series that was introduced to me by a friend of mine. I remember that when the person first described it to me, the premise of the series seemed interesting enough to the point where I was very eager to watch it. Then …

The Ghostbusters are experiencing a financial drought. There have been lulls in business before, but this seems to be one of the more serious cases as they are buried in debt and there don’t seem to be any new clients coming in. Egon speculates that there may …

The Twilight Zone was a famous show that ran for many years in the 1950s. It was unique in that it had no recurring cast, except for Rod Serling, the narrator. Each episode was self-contained, and each one told the story of a person in extraordinary, usually supernatural, circumstances.
“Where …

There isn’t much on TV today so I found myself watching re-runs of Mork & Mindy most of the morning. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the show but the episode “A Mommy for Morky,” reminded me of everything that I missed about the series.
I don’t remember Mindy …

Frank Parker works for a secret government organization that uses alien technology to send him 7 days back in time when bad things happen so that he ca fix them.
In this episode the project got a new member, Hooter, because Ballard took leave. Frank goes to visit his friend …

Although the episode was well written and well executed I was still left with the feeling that it was a bit stupid. The reason why I feel that way, were the crimes themselves, just a sense of human pettiness and stupidity. But then again, it might have been just …

Rod Serling’s Night Gallery was made up of a collection of different stories, some just a few minutes long, and others more detailed. This show is made up of three entries — Death in the Family, The Merciful, and Class of ‘99, and Satisfaction Guaranteed.
Death in the Family …

Civil Wars was one of my favorite TV shows when it aired. I was highly disappointed when it was canceled so quickly. The show starred Mariel Hemingway, Peter Onorati (who was clearly etched on my brain for Cop Rock, which I adored), Debi Mazar, and Alan Rosenberg, …
