The Twilight Zone: A Game of Pool is another show I just don’t like watching. It’s a two-person episode from the third season and though the acting is good, I don’t care about the story. It can really be summed up by saying that it’s another one …

“The Terminator Decoupling” is the episode of The Big Bang Theory originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. This episode was saved by great chemistry (over the telephone) between Sheldon and Penny. The rest of the episode was light on laughs.
Pros: Sheldon was featured in …

Chris Farley was one of the most lovable Saturday Night Live characters of all time. I didn’t realize just how lonely and sad he actually was. This E! True Hollywood story really depicted the life behind the actor who was known for his crazy antics. …

Comediennes Jo Brand, and the lesser known Jo Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine bring us a satirical look at the day to day workings of a modern NHS hospital.
It’s a strange show to first get into, using mainly ad-libbed dialogue and some camera work you’d expect from the likes …

I don’t really like this show that much. Brooke seems really sweet. But she seems a lot more vapid that I expected. The Hogan family appears to have some boundary issues that are quite apparent. Look at the four of them: a mother who …

This is the most decadent show on the air. The parents who allow their children to have these extravagant birthday parties is simply ridiculous. I can understand that turning 16 is a magical thing, because you are that much closer to adulthood. Sixteen is the age …

The final episode of Tenspeed and Brown Shoe was called Diamonds Aren’t Forever. It’s really a shame this show didn’t catch on because both Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum were amazing to watch. The show was clever and witty, and while there was some ham and camp …

After he accidentally causes the dismissal of an eccentric nanny, Larry finds the odd woman …

I would only recommend this episode to be watched by those who are or were following the popular nineteen nineties American television series “The X-Files”. This is because this particular episode does not really have to do with any strange and supernatural cases but has to do with something …

Two Plus One was the 30th episode of the sixth season of Have Gun - Will Travel. I miss TV seasons with that many episodes, and this wasn’t even the last one. We don’t get a San Francisco opening unfortunately. Rather, we see Paladin (Richard Boone) …

M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War is a very good episode. The action begins when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is sent to the front lines to help out. The kink in this armor is that it was B.J. Hunnicutt’s (Mike Farrell) turn to go, but …

The plot of That Girl: Those Friars really doesn’t matter. What does matter is the joy of seeing Danny Thomas guest starring on his daughter’s highly successful TV series. He’d done a cameo on an earlier episode that was just delightful, but this part was a little …

Airing originally in January 2004, Whoopi: American Woman features the usually very funny Rue McClanahan as a guest of the Hotel Lamont, the place owned by Mavis Rae (Whoopi Goldberg). The big surprise for me about this show is that there really weren’t any laughing out loud moments. …
