Oprah TV Show
I think Oprah Winfrey as a person is awesome. And I used to love watching Oprah TV Show pretty much, but lately I simply have lost interest. I don’t know; I feel very happy that someone as Oprah is very kind-hearted enough to feature lots of great and …

The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair
My daughter and I ended up watching a couple older Scooby Doo episodes last night; the episodes where Scooby and the Mystery Gang meet Batman and Robin and help them solve crimes involving some familiar characters from that series.
The first episode, The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair, proved to be …

Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 1
The eight season of Stargate SG-1 brings about a couple of changes, the most notable of which is that Don S. Davis is no longer on the show as General Hammond. What’s more, we don’t even get a goodbye scene, just a mention that he’s accepted a new …
Ice Road Truckers: Lisa’s Monster Megahaul TV Show
Ice Road Truckers: Lisa’s Monster Megahaul was aptly named because a lot of the hour focused on Lisa Kelly’s assignment to work with Jack and Carrie on a heavy load assignment. Lisa’s my favorite on this show. I like her. She has intelligence and strength of …
Star Trek: The Ambergris Element TV Show
Star Trek: The Ambergris Element is an entertaining episode that was part of the animated series. While the series didn’t last as long as the live action shows, I rather enjoyed these expanded adventures. This one was from December 1973 and introduced us to a new object …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - No Rice at My Wedding (Episode)
“The Dick Van Dyke Show” episode entitled “No Rice at My Wedding” is primarily a flashback episode that takes viewers back to a time before Rob and Laura were married but after they started going together as a couple. This is one of the very few episodes of this …
SyFy channel
Formerly called the Sci-fi channel, this TV channel really has gone down hill. They show a few good programs, but they repeat them over and over and over…..and over. Their new programs are not as good as the old ones, either. One of the shows, a BSG …
Rock of Love
It’s hard to believe that a gaggle of beautiful women are so desperate to attract the attentions of an aging rock-and-roller that they would put themselves through all types of humiliation. Apparently, though, it is true, as evidenced by VH-1’s reality show “Rock of Love.” In each episode, …
The Fugitive: Devil’s Carnival
The second season of The Fugitive continued with this episode called Devil’s Carnival. There was a pretty decent cast making up this particular show of the series.
Philip Abbott, best known for being the head agent in The F.B.I., is a local sheriff who arrests a public nuisance and …
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 4
Much of Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 4 reminds me of an episode of Colombo. Actually, most of the production does. We have Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh having numerous face offs with a chief surgeon of Nightingale Hospital, Stephen Courtney-Briggs (Joss Ackland). Their verbal battles …
Justice League Unlimited: Wake the Dead
This episode feels like a sequel to an episode I haven’t seen. In this episode, Solomon Grundy is brought back from the dead. Since he is a zombie I’m not entirely certain how that works, but it doesn’t matter because he’s not really very important to the episode.
Just like …
Remington Steele: Steele Trap TV Show
It seems incredible that a new program on TV like Remington Steele would have two very similar concepts done back to back, but that’s the case with this outing from season one called Steele Trap. Just before this show, there was another where Steele and Laura Holt were …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Punishment Without Crime TV Show
Okay, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Punishment Without Crime is another one of those weird stories that I need to watch three or four times to really get it, but I don’t want to. Once was plenty.
Ray Bradbury is certainly a talented and gifted science fiction author, but he’s …
Project Runway
Every year, Project Runway tries to find challenges to trip up even its best designers. And, having the contestants design ring attire for the Divas of Monday Night Raw was definitely an interesting twist.
My wife does some sewing and I’ve seen her struggle with simple spandex outfits. So, trying …

In The Fugitive: World’s End, Suzanne Pleschette stars as Ellie, a woman who believes in Richard Kimball’s innocence, as did her father. Her father, who had been Kimball’s lawyer, had hired a detective and Ellie places an ad in papers across America in an attempt to contact Kimball. …
Adam-12: Log 76: The Militants
Adam-12: Log 76: The Militants is a rather serious episode of this thirty-minute police drama from the mind of Jack Webb. It begins with the shooting of a police officer and a black militant. It becomes a circus and one of those politically hyped stories where no …
Jerry Springer
I was flipping through the channels the other day on the television set and I just had to stop and take a second look because I was sure that I was seeing things. Two girls were ripping at each other’s hair; one pulled a big hairball off of …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.2 - Couples Therapy
Episode 2 of the second season picks up right after the last one left off with the conversation at the diner. In addition to the “rape” revelations between the two grown men, Feldman also brings up that Haim bad-mouthed him in a couple of recent interviews. The whole back …
Grey’s Anatomy Season 1 Pilot Episode A Hard Day’s Night Out
The Pilot episode will probably be one of my favorite episodes ever. It’s usually like that for pilot episodes. If it’s great then the succeeding episodes will be great too, some good but a few will be better. And for Grey’s Anatomy, I can say that the pilot episode …
Touching Evil: Memorial
The first thing I enjoyed about the Memorial episode of Touching Evil was the time we got to see David Creegan (Jeffrey Donovan) spend with his ex-wife and daughters. I continue to enjoy that connection which is strong and very present. It’s the first time we really …
Whatever You Like (song by rapper T.I.)
When I first heard this song, I thought it was quite ignorant. And then the beat and the hook caught me. It wasn’t until I’d heard it about three or four times that I started to like the song. And then after that, I realized …
The Bold and the Beautiful
Now this is one day time television series that I have known to exist since I could first understand what was going on in the world and I am of the understanding that it was around long before I was born, with certain characters having played the same roles …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Seven Keys to Singapore: Part 1
Bring ‘Em Back Alive was a story based very loosely on big game hunter, Frank Buck. The goal was not to kill the prey, but to bring ‘em back alive, to zoos and such. The show starred Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan, Clyde Kusatsu, and Ron Neal.
My impressions …
M*A*S*H: I Hate a Mystery
While M*A*S*H: I Hate a Mystery has some very nice elements to it, I also feel like it has some flaws as well that detract from the show as a whole.
What happens in this first season episode is that belongings begin to disappear, beginning with a silver picture …
Criminal Minds: Devil’s Night TV Show
Directed by Charles Haid, which might explain Michael Warren being in this episode since both appeared on Hill Steet Blues, Criminal Minds: Devil’s Night had its moments that served to entertain to an extent. The story concerned what is has been an annual event in Detroit in recent …
City Homicide
I follow this Australian police drama called City Homicide which deals with the homicides that an Australian police team of investigators try to solve. The homicides are complex, and most are not set in black in white. I struggled with the accent for several episodes, but now I find …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Amends
While I can kind of understand where the writers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were going with the episode “Amends” I do think they fell a bit short of their goal and produced a somewhat weak episode.
On the surface, this is nothing more than your average Christmas special with …
Private Eye: Both Sides of the Coin
From 1987, Private Eye: Both Sides of the Coin is one show of this crime adventure drama that I really couldn’t get into. The story somewhat when in my eyes and ears and right out of my head. It’s a scam plot, and they’re a dime a …
Alias Smith and Jones: The McCreedy Bust
Alias Smith and Jones: The McCreedy Bust, the second episode of this series, sets up a recurring character in Big Mac McCreedy, played by the robust and highly entertaining Burl Ives. The character comes back repeatedly throughout this western show. He’s a delight because he’s crafty, and …

Family Guy TV Episode: It’s a Trap
Synopsis: This hour-long episode is a sequel to Blue Harvest and Something, Something, Something Dark Side. Much like the two episodes before it, it spoofs the Star Wars trilogy by poking fun at the film Return of the Jedi.
What I liked about this episode: A lot of Star Wars …
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 …
M*A*S*H: Nurse Doctor
M*A*S*H: Nurse Doctor has an interesting plot which is intriguing for a couple of different reasons.
First, Alexandra Stoddart guest starred as Lt. Gail Harris, a nurse stationed at the 4077th for the last part of her Army duty. She’s headstrong and thinks just about everyone is against her …
Seinfeld TV Episode: The Mango
I wasn’t in the mood for Family Guy last night so I ended up flipping through the channels and settling for a Seinfeld re-run instead. Fortunately for me, it happened to be one of my favorites; The Mango.
The set up on this episode was fantastic. Jerry and George are …
Naruto Episode 7 Subbed
Episode 7 is calmer than the previous episode which is surprising considering that the fight that is brewing will be much greater than any other action scene seen so far in the show. The tension is clear when the episode starts as Kakashi tries to get information out of …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Winner TV show
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 …
Star Trek: A Piece of the Action TV Show
Another of my top rated Star Trek episodes is from January 1968 and is a colorful show called A Piece of the Action. This is a fun take on the gangster era, and it’s just a hoot from start to finish.
There are so many great bits in this …
CSI Season 1 Episode 1
CSI Season 1 Episode 1
A nice introduction to the series. Right from the start to we get to see the main characters of the story and what is it exactly that they do. Although they are easy on us and perform some kind of an introduction they also through …

Burgess Meredith takes center stage as the timid and often laughed at Luther Dingle in The Twilight Zone: Mr. Dingle, the Strong. This puts forth the idea that Martians show up on Earth to conduct an experiment, and they pick Dingle, giving him enormous strength which allows the …
Columbo: Troubled Waters TV Show
Columbo: Troubled Waters is an okay outing from the fourth year of the Columbo series. It’s amusing to a degree in that Lieutenant Columbo (Peter Falk) and his wife are on a cruise together, but we never see the Mrs. at all. He’s talking to her a …
Seven days Season 2 episode 5
This is a Sci-Fi show about Frank Parker and his NSA team, they have invented a sphere that takes Frank to the past, but they use it only when something bad happens that threatens national security. In the team there’s also Dr. Olga Vukavich, a Russian scientist, and between …
