The Twilight Zone: The Big Tall Wish is not a favorite episode. For one thing, it moves too slow and for another I just don’t like shows that deal with boxers. In this case, it’s Ivan Dixon appearing as an over the hill boxer who has a …

The second season of the animated Star Trek series was very short and lasted but a few episodes. Star Trek: The Counter-Clock Incident was the last one, airing on October 12,1974. It was actually a very interesting plot where the Enterprise ends up in an alternate dimension …

I think Deal or No Deal has now lost some of its appeal for people. I remember when it first started, I wanted to watch every show and see every box opened. I thought right from the beginning it looked a very low-key setting with the wooden floors and …

I liked the Rockettes. …

Here Come the Brides: The Crimpers isn’t really one of my favorite stories of this series, but it’s still a good one and has some memorable moments in it. The story starts with Jeremy Bolt (Bobby Sherman) being drugged and shanghaied while in Port Angeles on business, as …

I absolutely love watching tvN’s Taxi show. It’s this Korean live talk show where they guest and interview popular Korean stars and icons but instead of the usual studio set and furniture, the show is done inside a taxi or a cab. I find the show really cool and …

Normally, after iconic classic episodes, I feel like the following episode suffers from having a high bar to jump. I know, each episode should be viewed on its own, but when watching episodes in blocks like this, it’s a tad unavoidable. This episode managed to subvert that …

Once again the Discovery Channel comes through with a superb series. The Planet Earth series has without a doubt the most remarkable photography I have seen on a television “nature” series. The producers have spent an exhautive amount of resources in order to present the snapshots of the varied …

Back …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Invaders is the 20th show of this fun television series from the mid-sixties which stars Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. Robert Duvall (using just one ‘L’ in his name back then) was the primary …

Everybody Hates Chris as narrated by Chris Rock.
Taking a bunch of unknowns and extras and creating a situation comedy that focuses on the narration of a successful comedian was a risk, but it seems to work. This comedy series is as close to the Bill …

Alias Smith and Jones: Stagecoach Seven is one of my favorite episodes for this hit ABC western series. One of the reasons for that is that Randolph Mantooth (Johnny Gage on Emergency!) guest stars as Dan Loomis. Actually, the cast is really very good in this show …

This episode breaks the format a little in that we don’t get one narrative, rather a series of small stories that focuses on each of the main characters.

The 11th episode of its third season on the air, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Haunted Submarine, gives us another same-o, same-o, which I really don’t like. By this I mean that yet again, Richard Basehart plays two roles. He’s Admiral Harriman Nelson as …
