The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Dead Man TV Show

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Puppet Show
OK, wooden puppets are a bit creepy and after the movie Child’s Play, any doll that can talk makes me a bit nervous. So, I liked the concept behind the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “The Puppet Show.”

Ellen: The Ellen Degeneres Show

Ellen is your typical …
Da Alley G Show (HBO-tv)

Stargate SG-1: A Hundred Days
This season three episode of Stargate SG-1, called A Hundred Days, is one of my least favorites ever. While parts of it are well worth watching, I just don’t buy into much of what happened and most especially the final scene.
In Stargate SG-1: A Hundred Days, the team …

Though filmed at the beginning of the season, the final episode of this groundbreaking, long running TV series was M*A*S*H: Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen. It attracted millions of viewers. I’m not sure if it’s still number one, but I think it is; if not, it’s still in …
John Doe: Blood Lines TV show
John Doe: Blood Lines has our amnesiac center character still confused about his identity. Sometimes, it feels overplayed. Now I realize that being in his position, waking up naked with no clue who I was, would be insane and difficult, but for TV drama, it feels overacted.
One …
