Charter Communications
OK, I know I have written about Charter Communications in the past and many of those reviews haven’t been very flattering. But, tonight really took the cake so I once again have to tell people about them.
Quite honestly, the only reason I even bother with Charter is they are …
M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice
There are a few notable things about M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice from the fourth season of the medical comedy series. First, it’s just the fun of watching Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) trying to work some magic and get Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) tomato juice for breakfast …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Thirteen—“ Poison
Poisoning is probably the worst way to go. Because you don’t know what it is that killed you. All you know is that you are sick. So this episode really freaked me out. It showed what happens when the media gets a hold of something and doesn’t report it …

Malcom in the middle
I really like the TV show Malcom in the middle. I have always enjoy this show ever since the first day I saw it. I remember in the old days when I used to watch this show on Sunday night. It’s a very good show and I think it’s very …
The Carol Burnett Show: Gloria Swanson TV Show
The Carol Burnett Show with special guest star Gloria Swanson was from the seventh season of the hit comedy and variety series. Burnett called her ‘Miss Swanson’ throughout. They actually showed a clip from a past episode where Burnett plays Nora Desmond, which is supposed to be …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Easy Chicken Menu TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Easy Chicken Menu included Quinn’s 23 year old son, Calder. He’s been on this cooking show several times before, but this is the first one to my knowledge where he’s been on it from start to finish. Frankly, it’s a good …
M*A*S*H: The Interview
M*A*S*H: The Interview, while giving credit to Larry Gelbart for both directing and writing, was done in huge part in an unscripted manner. I recall numerous interviews and articles about this when this show aired originally on network television. It received a lot of attention at that …
TV Doctor Who and the Silurians
This was the second serial in season eight of Doctor Who and the first to employ the 7-part format, a decision that would eventually prove to be a mistake.
When a contruction worker is killed by what appears to be a dinosaur, The doctor heads deep down into a cave …
Highway Patrol: Transmitter Danger TV Show
The fourth show of the fourth season on TV, Highway Patrol: Transmitter Danger was another show that focused on dynamite. They’ve done this a couple of times so it wasn’t the freshest of plots to be doing in this half hour show. This show is about the …
Law & Order SVU: Criminal
Our youngest daughter was still awake last night so my wife and I ended up watching a Law & Order SVU re-run on TV until she finally fell asleep around 10. The episode that was showing was called “Criminal” and it was pretty decent.
In the episode, a graduate student …
Adam 12 - Logs 102 and 72
I’m combining reviews here on “Adam-12″ because as respects “Log 102″, I just have nothing to say. It’s heavy on the drug scene of the day, and I’ve just seen so much of that I’m sort of numb about it now. It’s just another Narco-related show. …
Curb Your Enthusiasm - TV Show
I watched the first season or two of Curb Your Enthusiasm recently. It’s a comedy show that used to be on HBO and it won a bunch of comedy awards so my favorable review is going to be nothing new to the enlightened television watcher who by fluke …
Futurama TV Episode: Anthology of Interest I
As I mentioned in another review, I was watching re-runs of the show Futurama last night since there really wasn’t much else on TV at the time. One of the episodes, entitled Anthology of Interest I, was an episode I had not seen before. However, it quickly became one …
Centennial: The Wagon and the Elephant
Centennial: The Wagon and the Elephant is all about Levi Zendt and the Amish ways. Levi has a touch of rebellion in him and when he gets falsely accused of something and is shunned, he doesn’t take it lying down. Gregory Harrison plays Levi admirably.
We also meet …
The Big Bang Theory show
A modern day Snow White and the 7 Dwarves, if Snow White was a blond who didn’t go to sleep and the Dwarves were reduced to 4 nerds, The Big Bang Theory is a show that is picking up a very strong fan base, based on the old theory …
Sea Hunt: The Birthday Present TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Birthday Present was another show that featured star Lloyd Bridges’ oldest son, Jeff. I did have to chuckle a little early on in the program about Jeff’s portrayal. When we first see him, he’s on a dock, crying his eyes out. That’s what …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fossil Men TV Show
From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fossil Men was another monster show, and this one was among the most incredulous. The Seaview comes into contact with a rock man while submerged. They investigate by having Kowalski (Del Monroe) and a new man, …
M*A*S*H: What’s Up, Doc?
M*A*S*H: What’s Up, Doc? is remembered most for me because of the threat to one of Radar O’Reilly’s pet bunnies. Hawkeye and Margaret want to conduct a pregnancy test, and at first, they don’t care that doing that test would result in the death of Radar’s Fluffy.
The thing …
Stargate SG-1: Absolute Power
Stargate SG-1: Absolute Power is an excellent show, though not a personal favorite. It’s another one of the stories that deals with Abydos remnants and references to Oma DeSala, whom I strongly detest. So, while it’s good, it’s not a favorite.
That said, Michael Shanks gets to utilize those …
Panasonic TC-P4282 42 Inches HDTV Ready Plasma Television
My sister bought a plasma television that will be placed in our bed room. This is for the reason that when my father is watching in our small living room we cannot watch our favorite programs, especially the Tele-series. She bought a television for us so that we can …

How I Met Your Mother - Front Porch
“Front Porch” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on CBS on March 16, 2009. This was a very funny episode with a lot of great physical comedy and a few powerful scenes. This is probably the best comedy on American television.
Pros: …
Due South: The Blue Line
Hockey is the center theme in Due South: The Blue Line. I’m not a hockey fan, but people in cold, icy climates like Chicago and Canada love it, so here we are. The setup for the show is a bit different, though, and I like that. …
Sea Hunt: Starting Signal TV Show
From September 1961, Starting Signal is the 35th episode of Sea Hunt’s fourth and last year on television. This under water adventure is another one that is related to a special United States Coast Guard mission.
While working on a project, things go wrong. It has to do …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 24: Our Town
This episode is a letdown, really that’s all there is to it. Between the fact that it follows up the extra-ordinary “Soft Light” and comes right before the season finale, you’d think that this would be a big episode. Sadly, the opposite holds true and the whole …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 5: The Jersey Devil
This was an episode that I had never seen before, so I was rather excited to tune into see how this played out. Once again, it veers from the extra-terrestrial conspiracy plot line to give us a “monster of the week”. This time it’s the Jersey Devil. …
The Game (CW network sitcom)
The CW racks up points for triflingness again with sitcom “The Game.” Featuring one of the Mowry twins, Wendy Raquel Robinson, and a few unnamed actors, this show is actually incredibly popular. I have even seen blogs on Mediatakeout.com wherein people were trying to save this show …
Destination Truth: Haunted Lost City/Thunderbird
Last night’s Destination Truth wasn’t the best episode I’ve seen of the show but it was still somewhat interesting, especially compared with the other programs I watched yesterday.

Well now, that turned out to be a good episode of Bones. “The Bone that Blew” offered us a couple of things.
First, you have the mystery of how an ex-marine turned babysitter ended up killed and burned (resulting in parts of his body to blow away in a big …
Highway Patrol: Machine-Napping TV Show
Machine-Napping is the second episode of Highway Patrol, which starred Broderick Crawford as the commanding Chief Dan Mathews. There’s no doubt this man is the leader of the California Highway Patrol.
At issue, and it seems odd for it to be a 1955 show, but it is, is a …
That Girl: The Philadelphia Story
That Girl: The Philadelphia Story is the second part of the two-parter than began the week before when Ann Marie finally lands a role on Broadway. First, though, the show has to be tested in cities like Philadelphia. She heads off on the train, leaving behind her …

The Brady Bunch
I grew up watching “The Brady Bunch” and probably know the plot of every joyously corny episode. The great thing is that, due to the advent of cable television, other generations are able to enjoy this show, too, and I can tune in and satisfy my need for some …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit
Law and Order Special Victims Unit is a series that is part of the Law and Order franchise.
I myself love this show and think it has many great things to offer an audience.
The show itself focuses on sex crimes and the detectives that solve them. The show …

Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 3
The third episode of Emerald Point N.A.S. has some pretty good drama to it. There’s actually an argument that occurs very early on between Jack and Celia that is pretty intimidating. They are shot close up in the profile and they are really in each other’s personal …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 5: The Girl in the Fireplace
From what I’ve seen, Doctor Who episodes fall into three categories: ones that take place in the distant past, ones that take place in the distant future, and ones that take place on an alien world. Of course, there are several that take place in the present, thus …
