Brian Keith guest stars in Laramie: The General Must Die as Whit Malone, an old friend of Slim Sherman’s who shows up at the ranch one day. He and Slim recall old times, enjoying their liquor as they do. Unfortunately, the reunion is a bit of a …

In 2002, the M*A*S*H 30th Anniversary Reunion aired, reuniting the majority of cast and crew members for the first time since the groundbreaking series had gone off the air. Mike Farrell did the introduction at the very beginning and then it went to a wonderful, casual discussion with …

The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man has an interesting premise. Patrick McGoohan’s Number Six character wakes up to discover he is now Number Twelve, complete with a mustache (which doesn’t suit him at all, I might add). This is followed by the news that he’s supposed to switch …

I had never heard about “Michael Palin: Around the world in 80 days” until it popped up on Netflix recommendations, but since it was instant watch I decided to try it. I assumed it was a two hour documentary, but it was a short series made for the BBC.
The …

Here are a few thoughts from Friday night’s Monk episode; Mr. Monk and the Dog:
One of the themes in this final season of Monk seems to be Monk’s willingness to try to get over his phobias. Earlier, he conquered his claustrophobia and, in this episode, he took in a …

Like I mentioned in another review, I’m home for a change and have been watching re-runs on TV. One of the shows I ended up watching was Beverly Hillbillies; more specifically, I watched the episode Big Chicken.
This was a funny episode (funnier than the description gave it credit for …

Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 19- Contact
I really loved this episode. I thought it was absolutely coming in. Just because of the story that they have come up with. This is not just another crime investigation, this was absolutely interesting and unusual. I …

I really enjoy this show, when I get a chance to see it. It is about a pizza delivery boy named Fry, who inadvertently gets frozen and wakes up several centuries into the future.
He gets a job working for his great-great-…-nephew as a delivery boy around the universe, and …

In That Girl: Rain, Snow and Rice, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) and Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) get a big surprise from their friends and that means an impromptu trip to Connecticut during a rain and snowstorm.
Jerry Bauman (Bernie Kopell) and Margie get married. Is this the same Margie …

Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer such as myself were delighted to hear Faith/Eliza Dushku would be continuing to act in the supernatural genre of television. She had turned down her own spin off from Buffy just to do Tru Calling. The Pilot is where us fans were holding …

Band of Brothers Episode 10 Points is the final episode of the HBO Home Entertainment miniseries Band of Brothers and shows the members of Easy Company learning about who gets to return home and who has to stay to fight in the Pacific against the Japanese.
This was a very …

Jack Benny did a couple of appearances on The Danny Thomas Show (later known as Make Room for Daddy). This one, Jack Benny Takes Danny’s Job, was from the sixth season in 1958.
I adore the opening segment, which is an adorable scene of father and daughter playing. …

Ice Road Truckers: A Legend Meets His End had two story segments that held my interest more than the others. Traditionally, this show follows several truckers as they work the ice roads or, in the case of this season, dangerous roads. There really aren’t that many ice …

The episode “Initiation” was a great way to start Season One of Justice League Unlimited, now on DVD. Like most episodes, this episode featured a small group of heroes, allowing the audience to learn and appreciate their various personalities. This episode featured Supergirl, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, …

In April 1971, the final episode of the third season of Adam-12, a half-hour crime drama, was aired. The show was entitled Log 125: A Safe Job. It’s a fairly decent show to end a year on. It’s not a big favorite, but it is an …

I thought that this was one of the oddest episodes of the hit 1990s American television series “The X-Files”. Many people might wonder how it is that this one has managed to make its way into my top ten weirdest episodes of “The X-Files”. However I thought it was …

I’m not really sure what to say about The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Crowd. I’ve watched it a couple of times now trying to enjoy it or at least get through it feeling entertained, but I’ve been unsuccessful.
Maybe this story is just over my head because I just …

Last night was the first time I got a chance to watch the entire Family Guy episode “Road to Germany” and, unlike other travel stories involving Brian and Stewie, this one was actually pretty good.
Of course, there wasn’t a whole lot with the rest of the family but it …

Hmm, first a Monk Christmas episode and now a Psych one; anyone else sense a theme here? Just kidding. As far as the episode “Christmas Joy” goes, it wasn’t too bad but also didn’t quite hit the standards I’ve come to expect from this detective show.
I will say the …

The Andy Griffith Show: Man in a Hurry is absolutely one of the must see episodes of this classic comedy series. It’s arguably the best, or at the very least, in the top 10 of all time best outings for this series.
Man in a Hurry is all about …

Stargate SG-1: Smoke & Mirrors is one of the better outings for the sixth season of SG-1. In it, Jack returns from a fishing trip to find out he’s wanted for the murder of Senator Kinsey. In fact, he was even caught on camera right after the …

In the second part of 7 1/4, a third season show from the hit comedy, That Girl, Ann Marie and Don Hollinger are in California. He’s writing a story for his magazine, while Ann is hoping to get an acting job. Early on, there’s a bit where …

As I mentioned before, I rented the first season of the Flintstones so my daughter could watch the cartoon for the first time. I loved the first episode of this. I wasn’t as big of a fan of the second episode; Hot Lips Hannigan.
For one, I’m not sure why …

There is one part of 60 Minutes that I enjoy after all of these years, and it is Andy Rooney. His ten minute blip at the end of the show is usually far beter than the entire hour that the show airs. Andy has that comical gift …

There’s nothing to return to for the residents of White Horse village who are now practically aliens to their own hometown. Wuxi might still be located on the same coordinates on the globe but it’s now an entirely new place: a home to nobody except buildings and infrastructures and …

I haven’t seen the season 2 episode of Monk “Mr. Monk Goes to Mexico” in a while so I didn’t remember everything about it until I saw it again at lunch today. I have to say this is one of the better episodes of the show.
There are a couple …

From season 5, That Girl: A Limited Engagement just may be the most dramatic show from the entire five years. It’s also quite probably the best episode from the entire run as well. While there are laughs, the show isn’t full of them. They’re there as …

The show Everybody loves Raymond is one of the worst shows that could have possibly been put on the air. It really is a stupid show and I could only stomach this show a few times before I got so sick of it. This show truly was a disaster.
I …

Sometimes it pays to stay home sick. If I wouldn’t have today, I would have missed a re-run of the Bones episode, the Man in the Mansion; an episode I didn’t see until tonight.
This one was actually somewhat interesting. The case itself isn’t overly unique. A millionaire is found …

This episode of Project Runway was definitely worth watching this week. Rather than getting to work with their choice of fabric, the designers were forced to use denim; more specifically, Levi denim taken from blue jeans and other denim outfits.
Of course, you have the usual trash talking throughout the …

The pilot for Hawaii Five-O was presented as a movie that aired several days before the regular season began. The show is about the elite state police force of Hawaii, which is called Five-0. The force is led by Steve McGarrett, a no-nonsense and tough man of …

This episode of Chase was called Above the Law. The series stars Kelli Giddish as Annie Frost, who heads her own team of United States Marshals. The woman has issues, though, and those always seem to be simmering beneath the surface.
The hour chiefly revolves around a man, …

Dexter is one of my most favorite series of all time. I have been watching Dexter since it all started and have been quite fascinated with the storylines and the suspense. Dexter is on its 6th season now, and what I like about it is that it only has …

I don’t really like this show that much. Brooke seems really sweet. But she seems a lot more vapid that I expected. The Hogan family appears to have some boundary issues that are quite apparent. Look at the four of them: a mother who …

The opening of this all-too-brief TV drama is a song called, appropriately, Masquerade and is sung by Crystal Gayle, who was one of the hottest country western music singers of the era. I love listening to it. I also love the beginning before the sung starts when …

SailorMoon Season One
Episode 2: Talk Radio
In this episode, Queen Beryl is disappointed by Jedite’s failure and she sends him on another mission to collect energy. Jedite informs Queen Beryl of his plan to steal energy from those who love and he sends one of his servants to earth to …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Fifth Man is from the second season of Richard Boone’s hit western series. The show starts in San Francisco at the Hotel Carlton with Paladin sampling whiskey as a favor for the Hotel Carlton’s bartender. It’s his evaluation of the whiskey …

This episode starts a new arc and goes back to the older comedic style reminiscent of Naruto’s earlier episodes. Sasuke is insulting his two teammates, Naruto is playing ninja with Konohamaru and friends, and Sakura decides to go postal on Naruto and Konohamaru. While running away from Sakura Konohamaru …

I love the Star Trek’s Favorite Moments featurette which allows us to get a look at some of the Trek performers and what it is that attracted them to this science fiction series. Michael Dorn, Ethan Phillips, and Tim Russ all spoke about how they watched Star Trek …

I always remember Fame: Expose fairly well, mainly because it guest starred Brian Patrick Clark, best known both for Eight is Enough and General Hospital. He’s always fun to watch, whether he’s a good guy or a villain, and he plays both with equal expertise. He has …

Even though the Law & Order SVU episode ‘Pure’ was made about two years ago, last night was the first night I had a chance to actually watch it. And, I have to say, I was really impressed by it.
Martin Short plays the bad guy; who at first seems …

Every kid in America had to feel for Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) in this episode of The Andy Griffith Show. It’s their hope and their nightmare both. The show, Opie’s Ill-Gotten Gain, from November 1963 begins innocently enough with Opie attempting to do his math homework, only …

The second night of The Sing-Off brought us more acapella numbers from diverse groups throughout the country. I lament that the program wasn’t aired live and instead was taped. It really took away from that spontaneous feel.
Noteworthy tried to perform a song by Cold Play, but it …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Keeper of the Flame is a pure father and son outing for the series. Airing in January 1962 during the second season, the tale focuses on young Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) and is new role as the Keeper of the Flame for the …

The pilot for CHiPs aired on September 15, 1977 and introduced the world to the lives of two California Highway Patrol officers, Jon Baker and Frank Poncherello, played by Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada. On the surface, they were different as night and day, but they were partners …

The sixteenth episode in the series, “The Hidden Enemy”, is a few steps up from the horrid “Trespass” which preceded it. This episode is actually a prequel to “The Clone Wars” film itself and explains why the forces on the planet of Christophsis (which happens to look a lot …

Beast Wars - Chain of Command is one of my all time favorite episodes of the series. I enjoy this episode immensely for several reasons. First of all, it is the first episode of the alien story arc. The alien story arc is one that plays out over the …

Season three of The Virginian began with a brand new opening theme, which was overdue. While still making use of parts of the original, all of the stars had two shots in the opening, a first and then one with their name attached. At long last, Roberta …

The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew is one of those shows that blends television with the surreal, not just as the theme for a series but for the half-hour drama being watched. It stars Larry Blyden as the title character. He’s a western star who likes …
