My wife and I had some free time before our regular shows came on last night and ended up once again trying to clear something off our DVR. What we ended up watching was a show called 24 Hour Restaurant Battle.
I wasn’t really sure what to think of this …

Arlene Golonka guest stars as the title role in M*A*S*H: Edwina. She’s a nurse who is about to end her tour of duty and return home a couple of weeks after her birthday. The problem is that she’s never had a romance or even a come on …

Think Rosemary’s Baby and you have the idea that is center stage to this April 1988 production, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Small Assassin. Alice Leiber (Susan Wooldridge) has just become a mother, only it was a very unusual delivery and from the get go, she claims the …

You know, it’s been years since I’ve seen the actual movie It’s a Wonderful Life. But, I haven’t had any desire to watch it again because of all the shows that feel the need to do their own take on that film.
I ended up watching another one yesterday afternoon …

Stargate SG-1: The Sentinel has SG-1 split as they try and fix a problem that was caused by another team’s visit.
Throughout the episode, Jack is in the ‘city’, appearing in scenes with Henry Gibson, famous from the Laugh-In television series. Gibson does nothing for me here, not that …

MacGyver: Slow Death is one of those average MacGyver episodes that is very pleasant to watch, though there isn’t really anything spectacular about it. Mainly, it’s an entertaining hour, and that’s really what television is supposed to be. The show has some great interaction with the characters …

Have Gun - Will Travel: A Head of Hair is from the fourth year of this half-hour western television series. Richard Boone stars as a man of intellect and style who also hires himself out as a gunfighter.
This particular episode is distinctive because it’s the first time that …

I have heard about the Psych episode American Duos ever since it first aired some time ago. But, for some reason, I have never had an opportunity to actually watch it. So, when I discovered they had the second season of this show available on our Netflix Instant Watch, …

This episode was about the feather and a book written by Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was writing mostly mystical works so that was greatly incorporated here with getting to know Myka’s family and the involving of Macpherson, Artie’s old partner.
Myka’s mother calls her she thinks that Myka’s father is …

I was watching a season 17 episode of the Simpsons yesterday, Bonfire of the Manatees. And, while it was somewhat funny, I thought it was actually a bit low-brow for a show that is usually so much better.
The lead-in to the show was kind of cute. Homer blows a …

I haven’t watched too many new episodes of the Simpson’s lately so I didn’t realize last night’s episode Great Wife Hope, was a repeat rather than a new episode (I looked it up this morning).
In any case, it really wasn’t as good of an episode as I thought it …

Synopsis: The district attorney is trying to reach Olivia, who is on assignment with the FBI in an effort to save a rape case that is about to be dismissed if the detective cannot be produced.
What I liked about this episode: Seeing Benson under cover with the FBI in …

Super Mario World - “Mama Luigi” is the last episode of this short, thirteen episode series. I have to wonder if the writers and producers were aware of this, because this episode seems awfully appropriate for a final episode. I say that because it actually tells of the story …

I really liked this episode. Not because it was realized greatly, because it wasn’t but because I really liked the plot. It was one of the best episodes of this show that I saw until now. It is about something that we all would like to happen to us. …

Didn’t Spock just have a romance a couple of weeks back? Well, here we go again with Star Trek: All Our Yesterdays from March 1969. I actually like the majority of this show and with the way that the plot goes, the romance isn’t ridiculous. The …

The episode begins when a husband, Mike Dodson comes back from the work. His wife is crying because she was carrying a baby for 9 months and now this baby is gone. We know nothing more about it. So what happened to the baby?
Olga received a package from her …

Nobody likes nightmares so the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Nightmares is a great episode to watch if you like being creeped out a bit.
This one, again, doesn’t involve vampires. But, it does involve a kid in a coma who has an out of body experience and brings his …

I was very sad to see Malcolm in the Middle get cancelled. It was one of my favorite shows and I could relate so well to that family. They are hard-working blue collar family, just like mine was when I was growing up, so I can totally understand most …

Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 1 begins with two brothers, Edward and Alphonse, performing a ceremony involving a transmutation circle. We hear an explanation of Alchemy and then we see that it backfired and that Ed is hurt and Al has disappeared, it cuts to four years later when Ed …

In …

“The Amazon” is an episode that’s from the “Inspector Gadget” television series. This is sort of a special episode as it features the man that installed the gadgets that Inspector Gadget now utilizes, Professor Von Slickstein. Dr. Claw kidnaps the scientist and hauls him off to the Amazon Jungle …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Secret of the Deep, episode 19 from season 4, aired in February 1968 and guest starred Peter Mark Richman as John Hendrix. He’s supposed to be an intelligence officer this time around (he’s been on the show before in another role). …

American Idol is staring a brand new season and this season is starting out with a splash. The Dallas audition had some great talents and some that are just plain weird. My favorite out of the two hour show is the guy that auditioned last. He wore a white …

Wagon Train: The Zeke Thomas Story is just a little too soap opera for me, considering this is a western. Basically, a man and his wife are traveling on the wagon train when they bump into a woman who turns out to be the man’s first wife, thought …

Denise Bauer is representing Dwight Biddle in an annulment case. Dwight Biddle was a bosom buddy of Shirley Schimdt but since she doesn’t want to represent Dwight in the case because of her personal experience, Shirley turfed the case to Denise. The evidentiary hearing went on with Dwight Biddle …

The Shield is one of the most creative and entertaining shows I have seen lately. I have to say that the storyline and concept of this show is great. It’s about Vic Mackey a crooked cop. He makes deals with criminals and keeps secrets from the other cops. The storyline …

Cowboy Bebop Episode 15 has Jet, Faye, and Spike going after a con man named Whitney Hagas Matsumoto, a man Faye knew and we learn about her past.
This was a great episode because it gave Faye Valentine a back-story and revealed more about her, and why she has a …

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 Twilight Zone: What’s in the Box is a crazy thirty minutes focused on the evils of television, or maybe it’s just focused on an evil television. Sterling Holloway, whose unique voice makes him a unique performer, guest stars as a TV repairman who performs some special alterations …

2 funny episodes in a row. I’m going to go ahead and take that as a good sign. It took a while, but these characters are starting to step up. Oh, I doubt they’ll ever be as great as the original crew, but no show has …

The conclusion to A Certain Justice was better than Part 2, which I felt was a bit slow in this mystery crime story from P.D. James. This is the part where we get to the genius that the Commander Adam Dalgliesh is supposed to be. The puzzle …

From May 1985, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Marionettes, Inc. was an interesting piece of entertainment. Author Ray Bradbury does the opening introduction, but it’s not actually introductions like Rod Serling did with The Twilight Zone or Boris Karloff did with The Veil. Instead, his opening introduction is …

For me, the celebrity guest stars are a big part of the fun with this TV series, and I especially love it when it’s done more uniquely than just having Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) bumping into them on the set. That’s why The Fall Guy: The Meek Shall …

I was able to watch a late night episode of the Simpson’s last night and it was an interesting one; “Sweets & Sour Marge.”
This episode has Homer trying to break a world’s record and, after attempts to do so by himself fail, he convinces the town of Springfield to …

I tend to like watching certain genres of Japanese animation especially if I feel that they have a very interesting plot and characters, but for some reason I find many of those hard to encounter these days, especially when it comes to new anime. Therefore, what I did was …

I will admit it! I love a good Lifetime movie. My roommates used to make fun of me when they would come home and find me on the couch watching Lifetime. You really can’t go wrong with a lazy day watching a corny, way too long, with dried up …

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 …

I was flipping channels Saturday night, looking for something to entertain me while I was trying to get the baby to sleep. One of the shows I came across was a kids show entitled Destroy, Build, Destroy. And, since I could find nothing better, I figured I would give …

The Twilight Zone: The Jungle is notable to me for one primary reason. One of the guest stars is Emily McLaughlin, a wonderful woman I first became acquainted with on the soap opera, General Hospital. In this episode, she’s the wife of John Dehner. They play …

Here we have chaos again. Chaos everywhere. The Castaways split apart into two groups, women and men. The men think the women will learn a lesson of humility and that women should be subservient to men. This kind of made me a little upset the kind of mental thought …

For no other reason than me wanting something to watch until Ghost Hunters came on, I decided to watch another rerun of the show Bones. This time, it happened to be one I have seen a couple of times before; The Santa in the Slush.
I’m still a bit confused …

I really love crime stories, and this one focuses on the fact that detectives have no more than 48 hours to get the best clues in the most difficult homicide cases. I had trouble believing at first that this many crimes actually get solved. It seems …

Additionally, there’s close to one hour’s worth of bonus material. That’s more …

I really hate how they keep messing with the overall format of the show “House.” It is a great medical drama that keeps losing momentum because of all the dumb little side stories you have to contend with each week.
The episode “Painless” for example, has a great case in …

My first beef with tonight’s two-hour show is that the first half-hour was a review. I would have liked to have known that in advance. Traditionally, they’ve put review shows as a separate entity. Nevertheless, the real meat of the show was, of course, the dancing.
Melissa …

I watched a drama on my local channel the other day, Siapa Tak Sayang Bini - Who does not love their wives and it was so darn funny and super awesome. I was watching it with my whole family and we were laughing like mad.
Basically, the synopsis of …

In the commentary for That Girl: Paper Hats and Everything , Marlo Thomas talks about the tenderness of this episode and how her father actually did always take her out on her birthday. It was very special to her. She actually got a little choked up talking …

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 …

The fifth episode called “The One with the East German Laundry Detergent” was really a funny one. In this episode Ross is try to getting closer with Rachel, and lots of funny things starts from there. Ross pretended that he had some rat problem in his bathroom, so he …
