From the Earth to the Moon - Part 10: Galileo Was Right is probably my second favorite episode of this HBO mini-series from 1998. I absolutely adore everything about it, and I’m not into science at all. Yet, this story that deals with the science of the …

Some years ago when I was much younger, there used to be a television series that would come on local TV in the nights called “Crime Stop”. It was a show brought about by the Private Sector of Jamaica whereas brutal unsolved crimes, which were usually murders, were dramatized …

The Good Wife: Taking Control picks up at the press conference that we saw at the end of the last episode from the first season. Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) is again throwing his hat into the political ring. The question at the start of the hour is will …

Heroes is a great tv show. It is similiar to x-men, but I feel more viewers than x-men fans can relate. The show is about ordinary people, with extraordinary abilities. They must come together to save the world, and become heroes. There is of course villian(s), depending on how …

Just as it always does, the episode starts with Allison sleeping, well sort of, in this episode not only is she sleeping, but she is actually sleep walking. She stands in the middle of a busy road in her night gown, screaming at the passing cars that she needs …

This show, Wolf Cub from Laramie’s third season, features Robert Blake as the title character, who in the opening teaser is saved from being hunted by Earl Droody. Droody is played by the artful Arthur Hunnicutt. This character actor was always entertaining.

As I mentioned in another review today, I am watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter today and came across another episode of the show I thought was really funny, the one entitled Blackened Sponge.
Basically, in this episode, Spongebob is brushing his teeth and, in an effort to remove the …

Heroes Season 1 Episode 1- Genesis
This is the first episode that starts out really great series. The episode is mostly introduction of the characters and events that are to follow throughout the season. Southernmost part of the main characters in the show are discovering their powers. …

PBS created a sensation and really has a hand in the development of the Irish songstress group known as Celtic Woman. This is one of the earlier specials called The Greatest Journey and features five of the women who have comprised this group over the last few years, …

Synopsis: Homer appears on Kent Brockman’s show Smartline and, because he causes the newscaster to swear, ultimately costs him his job.
What I like about this episode: I think the best part for me at least was the way the episode spoofs the fact people get way too easily offended …

The Nanny is a pretty funny show. It’s not the best thing ever, but it’s not horrible either. I think that Fran The Nanny looks pretty hot. The only problem is her voice is kind of annoying. And after hearing that voice show after show, you are start to get …

Highway Patrol: Nitro is in my mind one of the worst outings for this series, but let me start with a humorous part of it.
The funniest thing about this show was a couple of lines between two men who are transporting nitroglycerin. The one man tells the other …

Three people are on a hiking trip. Two naval officers and the wife of one of them. During this trip, it is being taped by the officer who ends up dead at the bottom of the cliff. It is up to NCIS to figure out who …

M*A*S*H: Dear Dad… Three simply refers to this being the third episode where we get a full out letter from Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) to his father. These episodes are always so good to watch. They provide glimpses of life at the 4077th and allow a lot …

On the whole, this episode of Adam-12 is a tad lacking for me. Not every show can be a winner. That said, there are elements in it that I enjoy very much, and it’s definitely still watchable and better than most shows on TV today.
The sub-plot that …

There is one thing that annoys me about the TV Guide network. When I want the channels to scroll faster, I realize just how slow it is. When I am actually trying to read what a program is about, it seems it flies up the …

This episode wraps up all the loose ends from part 1. Sokka manages to come up with another escape plan.
This episode has quite a few plot twists. Mai’s arrival was sort of expected, but it was still pretty well done. Her following in the …

I don’t watch That 70s Show all that often any more but did catch a re-run of it yesterday afternoon that was pretty darn funny; “Sunday, Bloody Sunday.”
Kitty, Red and Eric have Red’s mom (played by Happy Days veteran Marion Ross) over for dinner. And, since her and Kitty …

OK, I have to admit it, the Family Guy episode “Peter’s Daughter” has got to be one of the funniest episodes I’ve seen of any program on television.
There are two major plot points to this episode; both related to a flood that takes place in the opening minutes.
First, you …

I don’t usually watch Dr. Phil because it comes on during the evening (at 7pm) when I’m usually out hanging with my friends at school or watching one of my favorite shows. However, whenever I do get the chance to watch it I find it interesting to see the …

Quite honestly, Due South: Dead Guy Running didn’t capture and maintain my interest very much. The story dealt with the past case of the real Ray Vecchio, a case in which he almost lost his badge. When one of the guys from that situation shows up and …

The Beverly Hillbillies.
An all time classic, The Beverly Hillbillies was first made around the 1950-1960’s.
There are 6 main characters, Granny, Uncle Jed, Jethro and Ellie Mae, and Mrs Drysdale their banker and neighbor. Miss Jane Hathaway is his secretary.
Granny is a real character. She is always cooking up batches of …

This is one of those shows that if you are not watching then you better do so now. A good place to start would have to be the direct-to-video release, A Very Sunny Christmas. This two episode long movie is everything the show is about and where things might …

Well, last night’s episode of Bones, The Dwarf in the Park, wasn’t too bad. Basically, they found the bones of a midget wrestler under a city street (after a sink hole formed, scary) and, while investigating, found a list of possible suspects in his murder; ranging from his replacement …

I can’t believe we are at 7th season already and this show is still incredibly interesting. It is not like other criminal investigation shows that got really boring after a while, this on is always fresh and interesting.
The last season ended when Tony killed Ziva’s ex boyfriend and she …

Celia’s therapy continues in Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 21 - Pandora’s Box and it’s some strong stuff. She’s in therapy and on the verge of recalling a horrid event from her past. As I watched the last episode, I formed an idea of where I think this …

This episode had a lot of the same problems that the first episode had.
I think the biggest problem though was that it was rehashing territory already covered. I mentioned that the last episode did similar things, but this episode does practically the exact same thing with an alcoholic …

Blacke’s Magic: Death Goes to the Movies is a fun entry in my opinion. I like it because the theme is the movie industry, which I’m interested in. In the beginning, magician Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) is helping a movie company to stage an important part of …

Last night, I was flipping through channels on TV and came across a Star Trek the Next Generation episode that is among my favorites from the series (at least of the ones I have actually watched); Hollow Pursuits.
I like this episode for a couple of reasons. First, it has …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Contagion is one of season two’s more exciting outings and the reason I enjoy this episode so much is because it tells the story of a long-dead civilization that utilized remarkable technology and it is generally accepted that this civilization used such technology …

From the Earth to the Moon - Part 6: Mare Tranquilitatis focuses on Apollo 11, the famous moon landing mission with Astronauts Neil Armstrong (Tony Goldwyn), Buzz Aldrin (Bryan Cranston), and Michael Collins (Cary Elwes). It’s also my least favorite episode for some reason. Maybe it’s because …

I just do not like or enjoy Star Trek: Catspaw. I never have. It is one very weird show and it’s never ever drawn me in. I’ve still watched it many times (even the worst Star Trek beats out most of what was TV competition), but it’s …

Sea Hunt: Midget Submarine brought to mind memories of watching an old favorite show of mine, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Now potentially the idea for the flying submarine could have come from Sea Hunt’s use of this midget submarine since this show predates Voyage. …

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is hilarious and entertaining. Jay Leno always has great, relevant and up-to-date jokes for every show. The band that performs during the show is also excellent. Another great thing about this show is that there are some pretty neat actors, stars, etc. people …
