Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 6 begins with Aang and his friends arriving at an earth bending mining town where they discover that earth bending has been forbidden. Katara urges a boy named Haru to fight back and soon after he is arrested for earth bending. Katara …

MacGyver: The Ugly Duckling takes Mac back to visit an old professor, who is then killed. He ends up helping a teenage computer geek who has successfully hacked into government systems. She eventually is kidnapped by weapons dealers who want her to do some hacking for them, …

The Backscatter episode of Numb3rs began with what I perceive to be a ridiculous chase seen. We know it’s a hacker doing something from an alley. They get blocked in, both front and back, and yet the two get out of the car and out of the …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The City Beneath the Sea, episode two of season one, had the Seaview trying to unearth the mystery about two ships that have disappeared in the waters of Greece. Ultimately, Captain Lee Crane (David Hedison) does a bit of sleuthing, skin …

Larry Blyden is the main subject of The Twilight Zone: A Nice Place to Visit, which is one of the first season episodes of this great TV series that I’m not very fond of. It’s just not a story that tickles my fancy. There’s nothing particularly wrong …

Outlaw: In Re: Tyler Banks was another good episode for this sadly now-canceled TV series that stars Jimmy Smits as ex Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza. Garza grew tired of looking at the big picture at the expense of the individual, so he resigned from the Court and …

After a fairly lengthy hiatus, the show dives back into the overarching alien conspiracy plot line. While the monster of the week episodes are enjoyable, I think that they put too many between myth arc episodes. The story line is already noted for being rather complicated, and …

I have seen advertisements for the show Burn Notice before but, for some reason, just never got around to watching it. I think it’s because it didn’t look like it would be anything overly special.
However, Friday night, my wife and I were watching TV and, just as we were …

Kam Tong gets a fun opening bit as Hey Boy in this 22nd show of Have Gun - Will Travel’s sixth year on television. In The Burning Tree, he’s trying to wake up Paladin (Richard Boone) and does his best to get him to head for his next …

I’m not a big Bruce Weitz fan, but I have to admit up at the top that his appearance as Albert Brock in The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Murderer was outstanding. There was an energetic restraint to his performance, and while that may sound like a contradiction, it’s …

When I last left the characters of Mystic Falls, I was curious as to what exactly would happen next. What is the mystery behind Tyler’s family and the cause of his father being mistaken by a vampire? Katherine smothered Caroline while she was sleeping, would she really be dead …

Death of the Megabeasts is an educational special about giant extinct animals that lived in Australia. It seems like a strange idea for a documentary, but the program was very well done. The research that went into the documentary was very thorough and CGI animation was used to …

I’m not sure why just about every drama on television thinks they have to do some covert Chinatown storyline. It’s always about their version of the Mob Why can’t there be a story about Chinatown that is about the culture or, better yet, just the average crime …

A few years ago, the Miss America Pageant started to redefine themselves, giving the pageant a new, more up to date look. They actually did a multi-week reality show to help the gals transition from the old, static type of pageant to a new, refreshed style and look. …

The Dean Martin Comedy Hour took an odd turn this time around for its celebrity roast, going from the living to the dead, literally. The Man of the Week was President George Washington, played by Jim Leighton wearing revolutionary war attire. It was an intriguing idea that …

Cribs is a show on television that shows you celebrities or famous people’s houses. You would think that this would be a good show but I hate it. I thought it was a good idea at first but I generally don’t like the show.
The reason I don’t like …

The Rachel Zoe Project: The Oscars and Figure Skater — Johnny Weir was another hour of watching the very self-absorbed and not all that likable Rachel Zoe. She’s a stylist, one of the best of those out there today. She also reportedly comes from humble beginnings, which …

I haven’t seen the Simpson’s episode “Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington” until tonight. And, I think it was fantastic.
Some of the later Simpsons episodes have been kind of terrible. But, this one was actually pretty good. It reminded me of what made the show great to begin with.
In the …

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, You’re Under Arrest is the second Christmas episode for That Girl, and I have to applaud that they did it. So many shows just do one holiday show and then rerun it every year, so I was glad to see a second straight …

MacGyver: The Prodigal has never been a favorite of mine. It’s high on people interaction, which I prefer over the action stuff, but this story just doesn’t do anything for me. Whenever it comes on, I’m more apt to change the channel than I am with most …

Sitcom episodes that mainly revolve around husband and wife arguments usually don’t entertain me as much as episodes that feature some kind of other plot focus. In “Remember the Alimony,” an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” viewers are treated to a flashback to a time when Rob …

What we learn in Dead Like Me: Business Unfinished is that obnoxious Daisy is a scammer. I’ve never liked this character and her behavior here shows one of the reasons why. She’s just an empty character. In this episode, she’s eager to get her hands on …

This episode of The Carol Burnett Show from its tenth season guest starred the versatile Roddy McDowall. There were also regulars Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Tim Conway. The monologue included Burnett’s view of vitamins and the fact that Eunice is currently her favorite character.
I wasn’t that …

Tyra Show is a talk show hosted by super model Tyra Banks. Her show has been on for a few seasons now and appears to be doing well. It was recently switched to CW network and now airs for 2 hours in the afternoon. I’m sure that Tyra fans …

I’m glad they are airing newer episodes of the show Family Guy on Sunday nights since our local stations only show the same half dozen episodes over and over again each day. The one last night “Baby not on Board” was definitely one of the better ones I’ve seen …

From season one, The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air is a decent show, but perhaps it is the ironic and tragic fate of the story’s characters that puts me off. It’s not really one that has a happy ending, and I’m not into melancholy at …

Stargate SG-1: Inaugeration is the annual clip show, but this time, there isn’t a single regular character in it, aside from archival footage. Instead, the entire story takes place at the White House, with the new President’s first day in office. As such, he’s being briefed, and …

Highway Patrol: Cargo Hijack, a half hour police drama from the early years of television, was a show from its fourth and final season on the air, the 26th to be exact.
This episode is a story about a robbery team that doesn’t do their homework. Sheila Nolan (Cathy …

Well this one has taken a lot of knocks this year. My enthusiasm to watch it was off and on before I actually turned on the DVD. However, after the first episode my negativity was calmed and I was ready to watch more! From the start …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Comanche is a very odd show in some ways. It’s a love story, an adventure tale, and a tribute, all in one half-hour episode. Yet, the connection is somewhat questionable. Actually, I’m not sure whether I like the story or not.
Comanche …

After a passenger aboard Babylon 5 is attacked by Na’toth, a chain reaction begins that involves all the races in the known galaxy. Na’toth swears that the passenger she went after was a war criminal known as “Deathwalker’, a soldier and scientist who performed experiments that killed thousands …

The television, cartoon version of Santa Claus is Coming to town is my personal favorite of all of the Christmas, holiday special shows.
I like to watch this particular show year after year.
This is where Kris Kringle comes to town to give presents to all the children, only to find …

I waited excitedly for the first episode of Bones Season 5. The blogs were buzzing that Cyndi Lauper was going to be the episode’s guest as a psychic and this added to my excitement. I have not seen her seen the 80s when Girls Just Wanna have Fun days …

Here’s my take on the October 12 performance show of Dancing with the Stars. I’m not a dancer, but I know what appeals to me and that’s what I have to go by, for better or first.
Chuck Liddel and Anna were the opening two-step, and it was just …

In a time when many TV shows are failing miserably, Grey’s Anatomy is still one of the few that are holding strong. After seven years on air, this is a show that is able to keep an audience, me included, captivated and interested. It’s not perfect by any means, …

This weeks episode was a little off for me. There were a couple of things that didn’t work. For instance the challenges were a bit boring. I have made no secret of the fact I am a fan of the Villains and it seems silly that …

Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig Episode 7 has Section 9 transporting some plutonium to a safe play away from where the refugees are.
This episode was very well done and it was very interesting and revealed some of the interesting plot and it might …

OK, not only was the lastest episode of House “Not Cancer,” entertaining, it had to be one of the grossest episodes I’ve seen recently; a good combination for network television.
This episode was interesting because you have a series of people dying after receiving an organ transplant from the same …

Sea Hunt isn’t a show I watched growing up, and I’ve never really been interested it, but lately I’ve started to give it more attention since it’s airing on television. It seems the first season which I’ve been watching was different from the fourth season and had a different …

The poo really hits the fan as the X-Men have to figure out how to stop the Phoenix from wreaking havoc. They throw everything they have at it, but they are no match for such an entity.
They regroup at the mansion and come to the conclusion that their …

I really loved the prolonged introduction of all of the contestants. The show spent several minutes having the designers meet in groups, little by little. They chatted, and we listened. They met at airports, train stations, and on ferry
boats. They met two at time and …

Kim Possible is a show on Disney about a cheerleader and her bumbling sidekick (and his pet naked mole rat) who repeatedly saves the world. It is a very cute cartoon aimed mainly at teens, but also enjoyable for adults- or at least this adult.
In Steal Wheels, the first …

I really enjoyed Have Gun - Will Travel: The High Graders, especially the opening which had Paladin (Richard Boone) being measured for a new suit. It’s the dichotomy between this civilized, wealthy, society persona of San Francisco’s paladin and the gunfighter for hire who wears a black trail …

This new sitcom, starring and written by central star Miranda Hart, promises itself as something of a throwback to the classic 70s sitcom, the type where crude but allowable jokes were plenty and cardboard cutout characters were commonplace.
While this show is only starting out, things don’t look good. …

Another last season of Monk episode and another reason why I can understand why this is the last season of the series.
Mr. Monk and the UFO was good; for all of about 10 minutes. Then it got stupider and stupider as the episode went on.
Monk and Natalie are driving …

As The Andy Griffith Show: The Bookie Barber opens, young Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) is arguing with Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) about getting a haircut. He says he can still see out of his eyes, so he doesn’t need one yet. Alas, things don’t go his way …

Stargate SG-1: Ex Deux Machina was a weird sort of season nine entry for the science fiction series. In fact, the ending is one of those things that people would ward off as being science fiction, so I guess in the end, it makes a weird sort of …

It’s always a bit of a treat to have an episode of Sailor Moon focus on one of the side characters for a change rather than a one time character that will never be seen again. These types of episodes also tend to have a little more of an …

That was a cute episode of the Simpson’s last night. I have seen parts of He Loves to Fly and He Doh’s but last night was the first time I have seen the entire episode.
I want to start out by saying I loved the intro to this episode; which …

Fear was the 25th episode to air during Highway Patrol’s third of four seasons on television. The story is about a family man with a secret past. It’s a bit complex, though, as he’s not really on the up and up. It’s difficult to feel bad …
