Highway Patrol: Missing Witness TV Show

The Virginian: The Small Parade
I was so surprised by The Virginian: The Small Parade. I was expecting a parade, as in a circus parade or something, but what I got was a parade of young, adorable orphans. What a great title and what a fun show. As a youngster, I …
The Virginian: The Devil’s Children
When I first watched The Virginian: The Devil’s Children, I kept thinking this wicked stepchild, aka: the villainous of the piece, looked darn familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out. Then I looked up the credits and realized it was Joan Freeman, guest starring as a bratty girl …
My Name is Earl: White Lie Christmas
Under the surface of strippers, hookers, drinking, smoking, adultery, and a myriad of other things I suspect that My Name is Earl may secretly one of the most moral shows on television and it is that morality which makes so many of the other things in the show so …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-14-10 TV Show
I’m just not a Martha fan, but for various reasons I’m having to watch a few episodes, which is why I’m reviewing them. This second show of this latest version of her show was from September 14, 2010. This year, her show is the lead off for …

The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: The Rising of the Moon
From 2000, Diana Rigg returns in The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: The Rising of the Moon. I’ve always associated Rigg with the classic Emma Peel character, but she’s so different here that I surprised myself that I never really look at her and think ‘Emma’, so that’s a compliment …

Dawson’s Creek
I’ve watched every season of Dawson’s Creek and although I can’t remember how many seasons there were I’m sure it was least seven. I loved the show from beginning to end.

Columbo: Last Salute to the Commodore TV Show
I don’t really remember watching this show, Columbo: Last Salute to the Commodore, but I’m sure I did. It’s just fallen out of my brain, and I believe the reason for that is that it’s quite possibly the worst episode of Columbo ever. It’s dull, not just …
