Last night, I was watching a re-run of the Simpsons and was thrilled to learn it was one of my favorites; The City of New York versus Homer Simpson.
This is easily one of the funniest episodes from this series. Homer and his buddies are drinking after work and Barney …

There’s really nothing more annoying than when in a show they invent a country in Europe and of course that country has a princess who is in distress and the show protagonist saves the day and the princess, of course, saving that way the whole country, which never existed …

While not technically listed as a two-parter, that is in essence what John Doe: The Mourner is. In this first hour of a continuing drama, a serial killer dubbed The Mourner is on the loose. One of the kickers is that he’s using the symbol that is …

The Twilight Zone: The Little People is a good episode of the series that examines what happens when a couple of astronauts land on a planet and discover a world of very tiny people. They are so small that we really never see them. We just hear little …

Richard Kimball comes face to face with a woman who resembles his late wife in The Fugitive: Ballad for a Ghost. It’s a haunting tale and one that makes you feel a little melancholy. I always liked that he remembered so much of the good. Kimball …

Highway Patrol: Hot Rod, the seventh episode of season two, focused on two brothers, Tommy and Harry Burke, who commit a robbery and then make their getaway in a hot rod that they believe is faster than any police car out there. Naturally, the driver goes too fast …

This was not the Highlander we all know and love. The Duncan in this movie was dark and brooding and unsure of himself. The movie was choppy-it didn’t have a good flow. There wasn’t much information about the characters and how they all came together. It didn’t …

Synopsis: TAPS investigates three reportedly haunted buildings in the city of Alexandria, Louisiana and the later gives their reveal in front of a community gathering.
What I liked about this episode: Even though it would be nice to see some actual evidence from time to time, some of the best …

CHiPs: Green Thumb Burglar has some really good moments in it. Again, this show isn’t about premium writing that is going to win an Emmy. It’s about entertainment, enjoying a few laughs, and promoting the California Highway Patrol in a positive light. What makes it work …

It’s another animal story, and that means I’m closing my eyes. This was the year of the message show for MacGyver with numerous shows dealing with environmental and animal welfare issues. I wouldn’t mind them except that I can’t stand to see or hear even a hint …

Well, just one more episode of Project Runway left since they got through part 1 of the two part season finale.
This episode wasn’t much of a surprise really. Most of the stuff that happened was already revealed in previews; such as the part where Carol Hannah catches a stomach …

I had really high hopes for The Philanthropist when I first saw the commercials. It looked like an exciting action/adventure show with a real human element, and important moral message. The pilot lived up to those expectations. Telling the story of a billionaire who suddenly snaps …

“Nip/Tuck” is like no other medical drama that has ever been on television. It is clearly not a show that is “family-friendly,” since it deals with a lot of extremely raw adult themes. The show revolves around two successful plastic surgeons- Dr. Sean McNamara and Christian Troy, their …

I absolutely love my LG 720P LCD television set. Given to me as a surprise from a very special friend, I have faithfully been watching television magic on the 32 inch screen. The image quality of the screen is absolutely fantastic and very clear, conveying colors vividly and crisply …

Stargate SG-1: Fair Game is a really nice episode from the third season of SG-1. It begins with Jack finding himself beamed up to an Asgard vessel and coming face to face with Thor for the first time. Richard Dean Anderson, who plays Jack, is known to …

There is one thing about Follow the Yellow Gold Road, which is the 13th and final episode of the Street Hawk series to air, that stands out to me big time. Patrick Swayze’s brother, Don, has a small part in it. I didn’t realize when was going …

Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) celebrates a birthday in Diagnosis Murder: The Busy Body from season two. What this really does is give the show a chance for some slapstick type comedy. This occurs when a policewoman shows up and slaps handcuffs on Mark, only she’s really …

Hmm—¦I was on a roll there and finding episodes I loved of the series Futurama. But, so far, there have been a couple episodes that just haven’t lived up to expectations. One of these was the one entitled “My Three Suns.”
The episode did start out OK. Fry wants to …

Band of Brothers Episode 8 The Last Patrol has Easy Company in Haguenau and David Webster rejoins Easy Company and is shut out by his friends because he wasn’t there in Bastogne.
This is a good episode, not as intense as episode 7 but it’s still very good, and it’s …

In Private Eye: War Buddy, Jack Cleary (Michael Woods) has a buddy from his past, Joe Quinlan, who he tries to help out. Oddly, Quinlan really doesn’t act like he wants the assist. It makes it hard to like the character, that’s for sure. There’s …

My wife and I used to watch the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer when it was still on the air a few years ago. But, we didn’t start watching it until some of the later episodes (after she left college) and, because of that, missed episodes like one I …

The gore sneaks in again during John Doe: Psychic Connection. The show isn’t as bloody as many of its contemporaries, but when they do decide to show it, they tend to linger, and that’s what they do here when John Doe (Dominic Purcell) jerks away from his violent …

I really enjoy elements of Log 45: Bright Boy, a third season entry for the Adam-12 crime drama that aired for several seasons on NBC. There’s some nice banter at the beginning between the first crime segment, and that’s just how I like to see it happen.
My favorite …

Here we have chaos again. Chaos everywhere. The Castaways split apart into two groups, women and men. The men think the women will learn a lesson of humility and that women should be subservient to men. This kind of made me a little upset the kind of mental thought …

I was watching some MASH re-runs and came across one of my least favorite episodes “The Joker is Wild,” just because it was kind of pointless and one of the most un-funny episodes of the show I have ever seen. And, I’ve seen almost every single episode of it …

I have to admit I’ve never been the biggest Idol fan, generally only watching the early auditions to hear the interesting people that come out. This year, though, I’ve been watching it all the way through. Certainly an interesting year.
The show is good. I can’t compare …

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 …

I got a huge kick out of Fireball XL5: Prisoner on the Lost Planet, which is one of 39 shows of the series created by Gerry Anderson. Some of the things I enjoyed about this episode:
Commander Zero is one of those good tough guys. He likes to …

The Lazarus Man: The Catamount is the tenth episode of the series which aired in 1996. Here’s what I still don’t get about the main character. Lazarus has flashbacks which we see. I assume we’re seeing what he remembers. Well, I’ve heard ‘Presidential guard’ and …

Following in episode ten’s footsteps episode eleven has absolutely no action, but unlike the previous episode this one had little to offer, although for a first time viewer it might be an enjoyable insight. This episode is basically just one large flashback showing the history of the Country of …

“The Surprus” is an episode of The Office originally airing on NBC on December 4, 2008. This was a rather bland episode but it did have some subtle funny moments sprinkled throughout from a variety of characters.
Oscar was very funny in the opening explaining to Michael, “like he …

Lloyd Nolan is the primary guest star in Laramie’s 3rd season show, Deadly is the Night. Once again, he faces off with Jess Harper, as played by Robert Fuller. To me, Fuller is Jess Harper. He was born for this role, and to my knowledge, it’s …

I am thoroughly enjoying the opportunity that the ThisTV channel is bringing to its viewers by presenting some classic television shows such as this one, Highway Patrol. It’s been so long since I’ve seen these, and they are a delight to watch again. It’s not that it …

This episode is supposed to be scary, but in the Gilligan’s Island world is more like Halloween for kids. The spooky booing of the ghost at the beginning actually helps me get into the ghostly feel of the show. Richard Kiel plays a Russian Spy dressed up as a …

Mainstream female comics are few and far between. Certainly, there’s more than a few going strong amongst notable comedy groups and the likes of Victoria Wood, Julie Walters, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders have all brought us some downright fine entertainment over the years, but since Dawn and Jennifer …

My problem in the last few years with Dancing with the Stars is that the judges have favorites and they push for them. It’s a bit of selective visuals.
Here’s my current case in point. The last free dance performance of the night was Derek Hough and celebrity …

Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Sunday at the Hotel with George was an episode I was waiting for, one in which Peter Caine’s two fathers meet for the first time. Peter has recently been reunited with his father, Kwai Chang Caine, and that’s the essence of this entire …

Paula Abdul sang her new single, I’m Here for the Music, early on in tonight’s results show for American Idol. I’m not a fan of hers really, but it was nice to see her do something besides offer nonsensical remarks about contestants. I’m just not into the …

The 16th episode of the fourth season of the underwater series Sea Hunt was called The Defector, and it’s actually one of the spy type ones I like. Normally, the mission and espionage type of outings aren’t my favorites, and there are way too many of them on …

The 21st episode of Sea Hunt’s fourth and final year on television was caused Quicksand. It opens with Mike Nelson diving with a hard hat diver who suddenly disappears. Nelson looks everywhere, but can’t find him. All he can find is a broken air hose.
Lloyd Bridges …

The fourth episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s fourth and last year on the air was called Journey with Fear. This is a space age outing, with the Seaview launching a rocket of all things. I’d forgotten all about this episode. It ends …

Here Come the Brides: Marriage, Chinese Style was an interesting show. It actually got me thinking about just how varied Here Come the Brides was. I’ve never thought about this before. In this first season, this family drama had shows which discussed and featured the Jewish …

M*A*S*H: Potter’s Retirement is a pretty decent episode from the sixth season of this great series. In the episode, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) learns that complaints have been made about his command of the 4077th. Now in years past, that was commonplace for Potter’s predecessor, Colonel …
