That Girl: Gone A-Courtin’ once again has Seymour as Ann Marie’s agent. This is probably my number one pet peeve about That Girl, the rotating agent that flip flops from being the mostly unseen Seymour and then a guest starring agent that serves some comedic purpose in the …

Scarface starring Al Pacino is an excellent film to watch. It was recently on TV and I had to see it for the first time. It was released in 1983 but I never got to it. I thought that Scarface was very fast paced and filled …

As I mentioned in another review, I was watching a few re-runs of Star Trek the Next Generation this past weekend and came across a couple that I hadn’t seen before. One of these was the episode entitled “First Contact.”
This one was actually a bit interesting to me because …

Inside Edition is like picking up an issue of The National Enquirer at the supermarket or some other tabloid. It is purely tabloid TV. Anyone who thinks they have an alien baby, has seen a flying saucer, or dog can speak Chinese will be on this show. Despite the …

The Lazarus Man: The Catamount is the tenth episode of the series which aired in 1996. Here’s what I still don’t get about the main character. Lazarus has flashbacks which we see. I assume we’re seeing what he remembers. Well, I’ve heard ‘Presidential guard’ and …

David letterman is a very funny late night show that I have been watching since I was a small child. The Late show with David letterman is much like all other late night shows.
The show starts off with a stand up routine by letterman that usually discusses topics that …

I’m always getting teased because of my like for these paranormal reality television shows that not many people I know seem to watch, especially when it’s so obvious that quite a number of them are staged. However, I still tend to watch a select few of them since I’ve …

“Haunter Vs. Kadabra” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. It’s the third and final episode in a three episode story arc focusing on Ash’s efforts to secure his third badge. The episode title is actually pretty misleading and unfortunately gets one’s hopes up that this is will …

When Time Life announced that they were going to be releasing a box set of the entire “Real Ghostbusters” series, I pounced on it. I grew up on the cartoon and have been a fan of the franchise for years. For some reason, I had never actually …

I wasn’t a huge fan of the show Ghost Hunters Academy last year. But, because there wasn’t much else on TV last night, I did decide to sit down to watch the Season 2 premiere of it.
It still isn’t my favorite show. But, I did see enough changes in …

I really haven’t enjoyed this season of America’s Got Talent. The talent has been decent, but I’ve so often disagreed with the judges. It’s a bit disheartening to see some of the insanity that goes on with the judging. I have no problem with America’s votes …

Back to You was one show that I was really looking forward to seeing. With two of my favorites,Kelsy Grammer and Patricia Heaton, I was expecting one of the best shows in years. I was so disappointed. It seemed like they were trying to clone Frasier Crane and that …

Star Trek: Albatross is an angst filled episode of this animated series from 1974. It’s a new plot idea and not one taken from the live action series. After assisting a planet by bringing them medical supplies, Kirk is stunned when the aliens take McCoy into custody, …

Highway Patrol: Anti-Toxin revolves around a very urgent theme. Of course, today it would be handled more expediently due to our technology, but when this show was produced, options were more limited. What happens is that a ten year old boy is in need of a rare …

I honestly believe the only reason Project Runway does team challenges is in an effort to create tension among the designers. I mean, who would have thought you could see Rami fight with anyone, especially Sweet Pea.
Last night’s challenge was definitely an interesting one though. The designers had to …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 2 is the strangest episode in the entire Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime, in both seasons, because it does not follow any of the main characters, it is not about any of them and doesn’t enhance the plot …

I used to watch Scooby Doo a lot when I was a kid. And, recently, my daughter discovered it for herself.
The newer episodes, labeled “What’s New Scooby Doo” are definitely a nice continuation of the series. You have all the same major characters; however, they’ve been modernized and the …

John Doe: The Rising is the final episode of this one-year episode and it essentially picks up not all that long after the last show ended. The topic in it was remote viewing, and John Doe (Dominic Purcell) was the subject. It’s actually a little disturbing to …

To me, the plot behind Have Gun - Will Travel: Duel at Florence is dang silliness, not that it doesn’t exist, even today, but it sure does point out how self-involved people can be. At the center of the whirlwind is a young woman who has three suitors. …

Invasion was the April 28, 1962 of Have Gun - Will Travel. It is not a favorite episode as it was all about some military fight. Basically, it’s part of the Irish revolution and revolves around the character played by Robert Gist, Gavin O’Shea.
O’Shea wants financial backing …

It seems every show has to do at least one story in their Mexican suburb and another in their Chinatown segment, and they are always about corruption and murder. Private Eye didn’t even bother to separate these shows. It’s last episode was done in the barrio of …

Why do I feel like everytime I write about Family Guy Season 10, I’m asking for help, to save the series before it’s driven into the ground even more? I want so much for this series to be great, but as each new episode comes out, I’m finding myself …

The latest episode of Undercover Boss had the CEO of 7-Eleven, Joseph M. DePinto, taking on a false identity to check out just how well his stores really do. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I applaud the CEOs who have the guts to do …

I haven’t watched too many episodes of The Simpsons lately, other than some of the older re-runs that they show at 6 p.m. during the week. But, I did get a chance to watch a newer episode last night (though still in re-run); The Good, The Sad and the …
