Street Hawk: Female of the Species
Street Hawk: Female of the Species had Dennis Franz as a guest star. I’m not crazy about him, so that really didn’t do much for me. I was more intrigued by Paul Rossilli, who played a wealthy, highly public figure named Steven Cavanaugh. Think John F. …
Log In For Love TV Show
Log In For Love is a new show on TBS. It follows the dating lives of tweleve different women in New York City. The show is done in a documentary like style. Overall its a pretty interesting show to watch, just to see see how other people go about …
MacGyver: Fire and Ice
My biggest issue with the Fire and Ice episode of MacGyver is that it comes just three weeks after the two-part season three opener in which Elyssa Davalos starred as MacGyver’s once-dead and then-dead-again love. To have the same actress, with essentially the same look, return in such …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Maggie O’Bannion
Have Gun - Will Travel: Maggie O’Bannion was another one of those episodes where Paladin just happens into a drama that isn’t really of his own making. In this case, he’s just riding along when he’s set up and ultimately knocked off his horse. His clothes and …
The Virginian: Storm Over Shiloh TV Show
Storm Over Shiloh was the 23rd episode of the 90 minute western The Virginian in its 7th season on the air. This is one of the more ensemble stories, meaning it’s one I tend to enjoy more than others. I’m really not very fond of shows where …
FIOS TV
Verizon launched its television service, FIOS TV, about two years ago. I am lucky enough to live in one of their testing areas and was very excited about the prospect of having my TV, phone, internet and cell phone all from one company - and on one bill.
We …
Star Trek: Requiem for Methuselah TV Show
Star Trek: Requiem for Methuselah had the Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beaming down to what they believed was a world without anyone living on it. They needed a substance available on the surface that would fight Rigelian fever, a deadly illness that was spreading through the crew. …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Wish
As far as episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer go, “The Wish” was actually a bit corny and not one of my favorites.
This one takes place after Cordelia catching Xander kissing Willow and she ends up making a wish to a demon that Buffy had never come to Sunnydale. …
Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun (Anime)
Unpredictable, humorous, and creatively natural; this is the most underrated anime ever as it may come off a bit like a teen romantic series. But it really is a comedic delight. Usually my preferences for anime’s are a bit more on the teenage and romantic stories and at first glance …
That Girl: Thanksgiving Comes But Once a Year, Thankfully
This episode from ABC’s hit show That Girl celebrates the Thanksgiving holidays. It’s called Thanksgiving Comes But Once a Year, Thankfully. I’d actually forgotten about this one. The plot is centered on Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) and Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) deciding that they want to …

Wayne Rogers has a little more to do in M*A*S*H: Mail Call which centers around the latest batch of mail to arrive at the 4077th. Rogers’ Trapper John McIntye gets a letter from home with a photo of his two little girls. They’ve grown and he begins …
Thriller: Man of Mystery TV Show
I was probably more interested in Thriller: Man of Mystery from April 1962 than I have been in most of the other shows, except maybe one that guest starred William Shatner.
This episode guest starred John Van Dreelen as Joel Stone, financier and playboy, and he’s interested in a young …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Michael Landon (#1) TV Show
Michael Landon had the honor of being roasted as the Man of the Hour in this mid-seventie edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. He also was honored again during the last season of roasts, making him one of only four performers to receive tribute twice with the …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Bad Girls
Well, it’s about time Buffy the Vampire Slayer had some sort of twist in the plot involving Faith. All it took was the episode “Bad Girls” to give everything a whole new perspective.
Not only are we introduced to a very disgusting demon and gain a bit more understanding about …
Sonic the Hedgehog
Is it any wonder why this show has lasted so long? During the early and mid nineties, there were actually two cartoon shows based off of Sonic the Hedgehog, who, around that time, had just had his second hit game on the SEGA genesis system. One was okay, but …
Lois & Clark The New Adventures of Superman
Lois & Clark starred Teri Hatcher and Dean Caine as Lois Lane and Clark Kent / Superman respectively, for the first time putting the focus of a Superman adaptation not on action, but instead on the romantic trials and tribulations of the titular characters.
Lois Lane is smitten with …
The Biggest Loser
Overall, I like this show. I really love seeing the transformations! Most of these people are really obese when they come on the show. Some of them even over 400 pounds. Then, when the season is over, they have lost over 100 pounds usually, if not …
Star Trek: Wink of an Eye TV Show
Star Trek: Wink of an Eye gives Kirk more kissing to do, and I rarely like those shows. That’s probably why this isn’t on my list of ‘must see’ Treks. It’s okay, and it has it moments, but in some ways, it’s just a retread of an …
Dancing with the Stars: S11, Wk 1 Results TV Show
Dancing with the Stars first results show began with something a bit different. We saw folks moving around backstage, some of which looked legit; still had to be staged and set up, but I liked it. I love behind the scenes things so that worked. Of …
Wagon Train: The Whipping
The Whipping episode of Wagon Train focused more on the Bill Hawks character, played by Terry Wilson. The character is background much of the time. Wilson was on the show forever, but was overshadowed by Scott ‘Denny’ Miller as Duke Shannon and later by Robert Fuller as …
The X-Files: Jose Chung’s From Outer Space
A highly regarded writer on the hunt for inspiration, a pair of teenage sweethearts wrapped up in an alleged alien abduction, a UFO obsessed local weirdo and a man in black with a striking resemblance to Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek. All of this might make for a rather complicated …
Headline Saturday TV Show
Headline Saturday is a show put on by WRAL in Raleigh NC. The show, hosted by one of the television stations anchors David Crabtree usually deals with hot political topics that are going on in North Carolina, specifically in Wake County. Mr. Crabtree along with Melanie Sill the executive …
Trading Spouses TV show
Is this the best show on television or what? I mean, it is the most interesting show for sure. My apologies to all of the writers out there in the world of television, but I much prefer heavily edited reality to scripted unreality.
I don’t know exactly what …
The Boondocks Adult Cartoon
The Boondocks is an adult cartoon that is often showed on adult swim. It is about an African American family that involves 2 young boys that stay with their grandfather. These boys are very bad and get into all sorts of trouble. I like watching this show because it …
NCIS Los Angeles season 3 episode 2
Wow, what a great episode. This should have really been the first episode of the season, instead of the Romanian story they actually used in the first episode. It had all the ingredients to make an electrifying show.
In this episode, a wealthy software developer is kidnapped while exiting a …
The Twilight Zone: It’s a Good Life TV Show
The Twilight Zone: It’s a Good Life is considered a classic episode of this great science fiction series. It is indeed very good. It’s a powerful tale, but it’s really an evil and frightening story, and it’s not one I like to watch. Maybe it’s because …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Chameleon
Synopsis: The SVU team tries to prove a prostitute (who killed a man in self defense when he attempted to rape her) is really a serial killer who has killed at least three others.
What I liked about this episode: The prostitute they captured is very manipulative and it was …
Monica: The Single (Peachtree TV network show)
This show apparently follows singer Monica in her quest for completing a new single. I heard this was going to be a reality show series about Monica. But in fact, this is really a show Bryan Michael Cox put together to emphasize the necessities of putting together …
BBQ Pitmasters: Season 2 Premier TV Show
The second season of BBQ Pitmasters premiered this week. I only caught a few token scenes of this series last year, so this is really the first complete show of the show that I’ve seen. I do recognize some of the faces, though, including judge Myron Nixon, …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit: “Stocks and Bondage” Episode
I actually started watching the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Stocks and Bondage” fifteen minutes into it so unfortunately I did not get to see the introduction to find out what happened. However, thankfully one does not have to see the very first part in order to …
Sea Hunt: Point of No Return TV Show
Sea Hunt: Point of No Return , the opening show of the series’ fourth and final TV season which aired in January 1961, was a bit different. That was mostly a good thing. However, it was also a little confusing in a couple of spots.
The reason the …
The Virginian: We’ve Lost a Train TV Show
The Virginian: We’ve Lost a Train has a powerful cast and serves double duty, as an outing for this 90-minute program as well as for introducing some new characters. Airing in April 1965, this The Virginian outing is actually the pilot episode for the comedic western series, …

Stargate: Infinity: Phobia TV Show
“If you keep a fear hidden, it will take control of you.” That’s the mantra of Stargate: Infinity: Phobia which is one of the animated episodes which aired on Saturday mornings for a while. It focused on an SG team that was stranded off-world since the GDO …
Adam-12: Pick-up
There’s an exciting spark to Adam-12: Pick-up from season four, and it’s all because of a wonderful guest star appearance by Barbara Hale. Looking like the beautiful Della Street of Perry Mason, here she plays Mrs. Jessup, a mother called to the station to deal with her teenage …
The Simpsons Season 7 Episode 12

Kathy Griffin My life on the D list
Kathy Griffin My life on the D list is a show featured on the cable station Bravo. While there are so many reality shows on Tv,for some reason this one is refreshing as it has many minutes of stand up which is what she does. It is …
TV Show Numbers
Numbers is one of the best shows on tv right now! CBS definately scored big when they brought this one out. It starts out with a crime being committed, then the FBI coming in to solve it. One of the FBI agents, Don Eppes, has a brother, Charlie, who …
The Celebrity Apprentice
Now what I liked about the Celebrity Apprentice was that we knew almost everyone who was competing. There were a few contestants I wasn’t familiar with but the presence of the other celebrities made up for it.
I think the difference between this and the regular Apprentice is that …
Breaking Bad (tv series)
One of the television series that I had begun watching very recently was “Breaking Bad”. While I had heard about it a few times, I had never really considered checking it out until one of my family members who has the same taste in television series like me managed …
Wave Broadband - Cable Television Service
I hear praises about cable television on dramas and comedies aired on free channels more than I do in reality. In the real world, where people pay expenses, people complain about how the channels they receive with cable are not worth the price. My family owns Wave Broadband, and …
Ghost Hunters: The Stanley Hotel
Well, they didn’t find a whole lot but I have to say the Ghost Hunters investigation into the Stanley Hotel (which inspired the book/movie The Shining) turned out to be one of the better episodes.
The evidence captured on film was a bit on the short side. But, I will …
Stargate SG-1: Gemini
From an excellent episode to a not-so-excellent episode. This is the case as season eight of Stargate SG-1 continued, airing a show called Gemini. Now, there are some unique things about this show, but it’s all too predictable and, once again, everyone lets Sam off the hook. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Shootout at Hogtooth TV Show
From November 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Shootout at Hogtooth was the 9th episode of the sixth and final season of this TV western which starred Richard Boone as Paladin, a gunfighter most of the time but who lives a sophisticated and somewhat playboy like lifestyle in San …
The Virginian: It Tolls for Thee
The Virginian: It Tolls for Thee is from the first season of this western series which had the unique honor of being 90-minutes in length when airing. Overall, it’s not a series I’m that crazy about, but some episodes aren’t too bad.
In It Tolls for Thee, guest star …

ICarly
I don’t make it a habit watching shows designed for pre-teens. But my daughter will occasionally watch the show ICarly and I have to admit it is a pretty good show.
The series features a young girl, Carly, and her friends who have a hit internet show. Each episode consists …
