Hawaii Five-O: No Blue Skies is another episode with a bit of a musical theme, and I love those. This time it’s Tommy Sands singing in the lounge of a Hawaii nightclub. He’s a fairly good singer, so I enjoyed the sounds a great deal.
Unfortunately, Sands’ character …

There are some very watchable moments in M*A*S*H: Soldier of the Month from the fourth season of this great comedy series. Major Frank Burns (Larry Linville) is directed to choose a Soldier of the Month who will then get a week’s pass to Tokyo. Naturally, everyone wants …

I ended up finishing my Psych mini-marathon last night by watching the season 1 episode “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me; Oops, He’s Dead.” Yes, I know that’s a long title for an episode (something that is somewhat common with this series), but it turned …

This show comes on the channel CW 18, and is mostly about who is or who is not the father of the mother’s baby, who got who pregnant, or who cheated on who. Very rarely a subject matter that is not of those natures come on the show. …

I like the voiceovers which begin these The Lazarus Man episodes. They let us know Lazarus’ state of mind and what he’s thinking at the moment. It’s a bit more than a basic who and what monologue.
This episode is called The Palace of Dreams and it is an …

Synopsis: Brian re-discovers the script for a TV pilot he wrote and decides to offer it to a television station. The TV executives love it and want to produce it, but with several revisions.
At the same time, Meg and Chris are trying to cover up a serious injury to …

Date My Mom by MTV is a reality show that send the dater on a date with the mother of the prospectful date. Let’s say that you are invited on a date, instead of you going for yourself, you send your mother instead, giving your mother certain guidlines to …

The Prisoner: Fall Out is the final episode of this single-season series, and my understanding is that there was all kind of outrage because of how it ended. I’ve read that McGoohan actually left England to get away from the complaints. That’s hard to imagine, so …

I am always up for a good western (leftover from a father who loved a decent cowboy movie). Being a woman, not only do I appreciate a good western, I appreciate a good cowboy with bad boy appeal, you know the kind that romance novels are written around.
“Legends …

Corey Haim is goal-setting and trying to restart his acting career again. Good stuff and all, that’s fine. What’s crazy is how both Coreys are trying to get assistants “at the same time” to make their lives easier. Now isn’t that flipping coincidence? Now I’m starting to wonder how …

I was flipping channels early this morning while taking care of my youngest daughter (she is an early bird) and came across another A-Team episode I haven’t seen before; West Coast Turn Around.
This one had the A-Team helping out a farmer who was being forced out of business by …

“Usagi Learns Her Lesson: Becoming a Star Is Hard Work” is the seventh episode of the Sailor Moon series and it’s one of those episodes that I truly feel fits the definition of “filler” perfectly. There’s nothing here that advances the main storyline or contributes to character development. Worse …

It is time for Mr. Krabs daughter to have her 16th birthday party, and she wants to have a super good time. He has always been so cheap for her birthday because he is so stingy, so she tells him she better not be upset after this birthday party. …

Hector’s Hectic Life is a cartoon that is brand new to me. I’ve never seen or heard of it before, but it was a holiday offering from the golden age by UM&M TV Corporation.
So as it turns out, Hector is a dog who always gets into trouble. …

As I mentioned in an earlier review, I recently started re-watching the first season of the show Bones; at least the episodes I haven’t seen before.
One of the episodes was The Man in the SUV, which turned out to be a pretty decent one.
This is one of the first …

OK, I�ll admit, I only tuned in this week because the car crash promo had me interested. Who gets seriously hurt; Olivia or Elliott�s pregnant wife?
Overall though, I thought this episode was weak at best. You had a debate about whether a child should know if his father isn�t …

“Life Unexpected” is a new TV show on the CW channel. It comes on on Mondays at 8 p.m. central time. I was a little skeptical about this show since it didn’t get much ad time, and although the premise sounded interesting enough I thought it would be another teen …

Death Note Episode 20 has the investigative team installing surveillance and wiretapping devices in the Yotsuba Group’s building. The group openly discusses how to use Kira’s killings to their advantage while Light and L come up with a plan to get one of the members of Yotsuba Group to …

I love it when I can watch a sitcom, and even when it’s been on TV for so many years, it’s still enjoyable to watch, and I can still relate to it. This is the case with Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. This show came out in the 90s, and …

One word for Columbo: Publish or Perish: yuck. I have never liked this episode of the series. Honestly, I don’t dislike Jack Cassidy, but he annoys me as a murderous villain. He did multiple episodes of Columbo over the years, and I don’t think I liked …

At my house, the television set is usually set on TNT, to watch Law & Order. I am a court advocate, and I enjoy watching the workings of the police and of the court actions, afterwards, on this t.v. drama.
The really nicest part of this series is that you …

Wow, who knew a clever show like Mork & Mindy would have gone down the road so many other shows have gone down; doing it’s own version of It’s a Wonderful Life?”
“It’s a Wonderful Mork” isn’t too bad but it’s still something that has been done before. How many …

I like watching “My Fair Wedding with David Tutera”, but only if not much else is on! The premise of “My Fair Wedding”, which airs on the WE network, is to take women who have horribly over-estimated their wedding design and planning
abilities and put them (and their current …

From March 1969, Eileen was a seventh season episode of The Virginian. The story involved a young woman named Eileen who visits Shiloh. The trip was arranged by her father, a friend of Clay Grainger. At the heart of the trip is the fact that Eileen …

Well, last night was the season finale of Ghost Hunters. And, once again, I ended up disappointed.
The investigation itself wasn’t terrible. At least they dedicated the whole hour to one site rather than splitting it up over two different places. But, I was very disappointed with how TAPS went …

Any fan of the original Shining movie will know Stephen King wasn’t best pleased with Kubrick’s adaptation, and in this mini-series, King has the chance to rectify those issues and bring in ignored elements of the book.
The story is the same, the Torrence family spend the winter in …

While on a mission in which the SG1 team is trying to find a creature capable of disappearing (or so they think), they run into Apophis.
Daniel is determined to go after Apophis so that they can find out where he has taken Sha’re and Skaara. Jack is all …

Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 2 continues the P.D. James story that takes place at Nightingale Hospital. This confines the story to taking place mostly in the hospital, and thus, it’s a story I like better than several of the other city location stories. For whatever …

While the story of Have Gun - Will Travel: Silver Convoy does very little for me, this entry from season one has some attraction because of its guest stars, specifically two of them — Nico Minardos and Barbara Luna.
Minardos has played the jovial, playboy-like Mexican in numerous TV shows …

Normally I hate Reality TV. To me, it screams of TV producers throwing their arms up and saying “Everything’s been done. We don’t know what else to do”. However, Sister Wives is a pleasant change in the whole Reality TV scene.
Here we have a slight reminder of wholesome …

From the Earth to the Moon - Part 8: We Interrupt This Program tells the story of Apollo 13 from the ground perspective and the newscaster angle, rather than from the point of view of the astronauts and Mission Control. This is in large part because the highly …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Menfish is the 24th show to air in the second season of this successful science fiction program. This is a nice, high caliber guest cast, too, beginning with Gary Merrill as Admiral Roy Park and including John Dehner as Borgman. …

That Girl: Phantom of the Horse Opera is a really interesting show that features Sterling Holloway as Everett Valentine. Valentine used to play the organ when silent pictures ran in theaters. He provided the musical accompaniment.
When the show opens, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) can’t sleep because she …

I love to watch talk shows during the day because it is entertaining and I love the gossip part of it and that is exactly what the Wendy Williams show is all about. Her show is quite different from other shows and she doesn’t have just ordinary people on …

John Doe is a very good show that unfortunately had just one season back at 2002-2003. It is about a man who has no memory of his past but oddly knows everything else, he knows all the information about any possible argument, during the show different people call him …

For me, Chase: Paranoia was pretty intense, though that wasn’t necessarily a positive. In some ways, this episode felt like a rerun, not of this new series, of course, but of other shows and movies I’ve seen. That doesn’t mean it was not an enjoyable watch; it …

Like I mentioned in another review, I ended up watching a Psych marathon on TV on Saturday while getting our house ready for my daughter’s birthday party. One episode I had to DVR but finally got a chance to watch last night was the one entitled There Might Be …

The 52nd Grammy Awards was opened by Stephen Colbert, who won a Grammy later, but he was just horrible. He kept wanting to be cool and would ask his daughter if he was cool yet. It was a stick that got old real fast.
I wasn’t impressed by …

It’s time for the alumni to get together in That Girl: The Reunion. The subject of the fourth season episode is Ann’s obligation to organize her class reunion. She’s fine with that at first. After all, the worst part of it is choosing a restaurant, since …

My daughter ended up watching another episode of the 1980s show Faerie Tale Theater this past weekend; Goldilocks and the Three Bears. And, much like other episodes of the show, this one proved to be pretty entertaining for pretty much everyone in our family.
They kept the same basic plot …

The Family Guy spin off picks up steam in its second episode as Cleveland becomes more centred in his new life.
When new stepdaughter Roberta reveals there’s a Father/Daughter dance at her school, Cleveland offers to step in and take her to save her the disappointment of her real …

I really liked this episode. It was very well plotted and quite unusual. I thought it was great the way they broke away from the violent rape and murder pattern and focused on a killer who had chosen a subtler weapon (although not less deadly) to do his thing. …

The fifth show of season three, Highway Patrol: Mistaken Identity which stars Broderick Crawford, was a watchable entry that pretty much held my interest. Sometimes I almost was distracted, but the story kept me enticed for the most part, even though there were holes here and there in …

Synopsis: An accident at an age reducing spa causes all the members of planet express to grow younger and puts Fry and Leela back into their teenaged years.
What I liked about this episode: One of the things I like about many episodes from this series is, about halfway through, …

Well, if Simpsons character Apu can mess up and cheat on his wife, then you know all men have a problem. That’s just what happened in the episode The Sweetest Apu.
Of course, you really can’t blame him considering his wife is hot but probably is exhausted after taking care …
