This show is already well on it’s third season, and the popularity is growing immensely as every episode is aired. When it’s Tuesday, everybody knows it’s my turn with the television. Unfortunately, my kids don’t let me hog the TV so I begged my husband to buy me a …

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Winner is one of my favorite episodes of this hour long program. The catalyst for the fun is Adam McFadden’s 10 year high school class reunion and it doesn’t go completely smoothly.
Here are some of the reasons why I like Winner so very …

The episode begins with Homer gulping down donuts in a hurry. Lenny tells him not to eat so fast he might choke, but Homer is Homer. He continues to eat that way and then a donut gets stuck in his throat. Meanwhile Lenny spots a softball team sign up. …

Scarface starring Al Pacino is an excellent film to watch. It was recently on TV and I had to see it for the first time. It was released in 1983 but I never got to it. I thought that Scarface was very fast paced and filled …

Chef Academy may look like all the other reality shows on TV. But it certainly is not. First of all this show doesn’t have the typical elimination set up. There are challenges. But the whole point is that the participants on the show graduate. …

I got to watch bits and pieces of last night’s Law & Order SVU episode Hardwired. For the most part, it was OK. But, it really wasn’t anything that stood out when compared to the other episodes I’ve seen of the show.
Basically, it had the same plot as others, …

From April 1967, Star Trek: Operation - Annihilate! is the final show of the first season of this science fiction classic from the mind of Gene Roddenberry. It finally gives us a relative of one of the regulars, even though he dies before we meet him. What …

I never thought I would be a fan of Charm School. Still, I can’t say that I am a fan. But I’ve caught a few episodes and have found them to be somewhat charming actually. The ladies are all from other shows. And …

Not everyone loves Stargate SG-1: Space Race as much as I do, but I just think this whole show is a hoot. I remember going into it that I thought I wouldn’t like it, that there wouldn’t be much of Jack and Daniel. It was definitely touted …

Jack Carson was a great comedic actor. I liked him because he came across as genuine, no matter what type of character he was playing, even in this one where he’s a used car salesman who bends the truth all kinds of ways as he sells the cars …

I love this episode of The Fugitive called Escape into Black. Kimball is injured going after the one-armed man and wakes up without his memory. Ivan Dixon is his by-the-book doctor and Betty Garrett plays his assistant. Garrett becomes intrigued by the patient. She actually …

In this episode Jim is doing something new at work, trying. He goes golfing with a client while Michal, Pam, Oscar and Darryl are at a job fair. Before he would have spoken to the person then given up, but since Ryan has given him an official warning and …

Tales of the Gold Monkey: Shanghaied was a very entertaining outing for this adventure series from 1982. Jeff MacKay is featured in his regular role of Corky, the alcoholic mechanic. Actually, one of the things that is intriguing about this show is the relationship of Jake Cutter …

Medium: It’s a Wonderful Death is another show that had a very nice season ender. The show narrowly escaped cancellation, or so it’s believed as of this writing. Actually, while I like this show, one thing I’ve consistently thought about it is that Patricia Arquette’s character of …

The Virginian: The Long Ride Home was the first episode of this long running western’s 8th season on NBC. It aired in September 1969 and did facilitate another casting change. Out was David Hartman and in was Tim Matheson. I’m not convinced it was a …

Last night’s Psych season finale “An Evening with Mr. Yang” was somewhat interesting but yet a disappointment at the same time.
I liked the idea of a super-genius serial killer taking on Shawn one-on-one and leaving clues for him to solve to save the life of a waitress and then …

“The Dick Van Dyke Show” episode “Buddy Sorrell - Man and Boy” is notable for a couple of reasons. First of all, the story revolves around a religious occasion, namely a Jewish confirmation ceremony, and second of all, the story is not merely played for laughs, but it’s designed …

This is the final episode in the trilogy about the spaceship Malevolence commanded by General Grievous. The episode’s name pretty much gives away what the storyline is about: the Jedi destroying the ship. The episode stars Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padme. General Grievous, of course, also has a large part.
The …

Tige Andrews and Katherine Cannon return in CHiPs: Bio-Rhythms. The two appeared in an early episode from this second season playing a father and daughter trucker. I have some issues with the development of this story.
In the opening, Jon and Ponch are overlooking the freeway and Jon …

This season seven entry of Stargate SG-1 doesn’t really excite me that much. Avenger 2.0 brings back the geek from season six’s The Other Guys. As played by Patrick McKenna, Felger means well, but he’s essentially a fumbling geek with a big crush on Sam.
The negatives on this …

I’ve often felt that the powers that be at SG-1 started season eight with a few good shows and decided to use all of them, even if the timing didn’t necessarily make sense. This episode, Zero Hour, seems like it should have been the starter once Jack was …

The deal behind Stargate: Infinity: The Answer was that Major Gus Bonner and his team of Stargate cadets was that they were going to go to a planet where a scientific symposium was being held. One of Stargate Command’s scientists, Doctor Mason, would be attending. This would …

OK, sometimes the show Seinfeld takes a joke a bit too far to the point where it is still funny but also very unrealistic. The episode “The Sponge” is one of those.
The main plot is the episode focuses on the discontinuance of the Today Sponge, apparently Elaine’s favorite form …

I can tell you exactly how you can tell when a show has jumped the shark and it might be time to put it out of its misery; when you watch a brand new episode and you feel you’ve seen it before.
The Law & Order SVU episode “Hothouse” is …

The episode starts with an intro by documentary filmmaker Desmond who every 8 years interviewed a group of Springfield children. These children were most of the Springfield people. The episode shows how the people have been dumb all along. It shows right from the time they were in kindergarten. …

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 …

My hunch is that the Cupcake Wars: Hot and Spicy ALMA Awards was an early show and perhaps even the pilot for this new TV series because there were a lot of things different from the way the show was run. In fact, even the standard bits spoken …

Well, last night was the first time I had a chance to see the Bones episode Judas on a Pole. And, it was pretty good. However, I have to confess, it might have been better if I had seen it when it first aired.
The episode focuses on Bones’ dad …

From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid is a terrific show. It’s so dramatic, but I love the humor in it. This 19th show of the third season begins with a cute scene in the control room of the Seaview. It …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Monster’s Web, the 23rd show of the second season, guest starred the talented Peter Mark Richman as “Captain Mike Gantt. Richman had a very long career where he appeared in just about every show under the son, and in doing …

While relaxing tonight and waiting for another show to come on, I was flipping through the ‘on demand’ options and came across The Closer with Kyra Sedgwick. I’ve heard about this show and was moderately intrigued by the concept, but I’ve never actually watched an episode. I …

The Twilight Zone: A World of Difference is a surprisingly charming show about escape. It guest stars Howard Duff as an actor who retreats into the life of his character, actually believing he is that character.
The character of Arthur Curtis had a successful life, with a wife and …

In the first episode of Fraggle Rock, we are briefly introduced to the Gorgs, giant creatures that apparently have their own world just outside of Fraggle Rock. The second episode of the series, Wembley and the Gorgs, gives us a better understanding about who they are.
This episode was actually …

Stargate: Infinity: Chariot of the Sun continued the crazy adventures of a wayward SG team, led by Major Gus Bonner and consisting of his niece, Stacey, Seattle, Ec’co, and Harrison, as well as a potential Ancient named Draga.
There is one very big lesson that is echoed throughout this half …

This was a rather funny but still very serious episode, it still didn’t convince me this wasn’t a children’s show but I guess I am considering of promoting it to adult show.
Rose and The Doctor arrived back to London, although The Doctor wanted to take them back to the …

I love the show What Not to Wear. At first, I thought the stylists, Clinton Kelly and Stacy London were mean and too harsh. They really tell the person what they look like and what’s wrong with what they look like. They use creative language to …

Kate Winslet on Ellen was a good watch. She was dressed in a black coat or jacket and she looked particularly decent and sweet. Though she has a British accent, she was such a down-to-earth person and spoke about her husband and friendship with Leo very lovingly. …

The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid is the second show of this new law series that is as much comedy as it is drama. For example, in the opening tease, the first bit has the series leads, Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell, standing below the big, bold billboard …

In Blacke’s Magic: Forced Landing, Leonard Blacke (Harry Morgan) wins a ghost town in a poker game, but owes a mortgage of $12,000 on it, not to mention some other debts which his son, Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) has to deal with. The mystery begins when a plane …

The eighth episode of Checkmate was called Deadly Shadow. Checkmate, Inc. is a detective agency, fairly upscale in nature, run by Don Corey (Anthony George) and Jed Sills (Doug McClure). They’re assisted by a professor, Carl Hyatt, played by Sebastian Cabot, lovingly remembered for his subsequent portrayal …

Shout Factory produced the That Girl DVDs, beginning with this season one set. It’s a great set, but what I don’t like is the way the DVDs are organized. The DVDs are placed in one, long jacket. You open it and then have to open it …

Last night was an OK Family Guy episode “No Chris Left Behind” but, it also wasn’t one of the better episodes in the series.
This one has Lois and Brian discovering Chris has been forced to learn from history text books written in 1948. During Lois’ protest to the school …

One of the television series which I used to hear about regularly was a series running on ABC named Boston Legal. However, when it was going on I did not have the time to watch it. Therefore what I ended up having to do was watch some of the …

Here Come the Brides: One to a Customer is an interesting episode from the first season of this ABC series which centers on a newcomer who wants to get married. The twist is that the man is Mormon and he doesn’t want just one wife, but four or …

Justice League - “Tabula Rasa”, Part One is an episode that features Lex Luthor, one of my favorite villains. He is on the run in this episode and retreats to the home of a friend of his in the woods. There, he discovers his friend dead, apparently from a …

This episode of the X-Files was also one of my most memorable episodes. I found it to be a little confusing at one point and I didn’t think it was a work of genius either, but I believe that it was still quite enjoyable. In fact, I think …

Extreme Cowboy Race is a weekly television series hosted by RFD TV. I am an English rider, but love to watch Extreme Cowboy Race. Both male and female competitors and their horses race through an obstacle course. The horse and rider team that completes the course in the best …
