From season two, The Man Who Lost was the 31st episode of the year. Can you imagine that? The 31st, and it wasn’t the last one! The series was Have Gun - Will Travel, starring Richard Boone as the intellectual gunfighter for hire, Paladin. Whatever …

I believe that you can’t judge a show a show by the first season. Most shows usually need the first season to get the characters established and for the writers to find their footing. Great shows like Seinfeld and The Simpsons even needed two or three seasons …

Gambling arrives in the small but growing town of Seattle, Washington, and two of the Bolt brothers along with their loggers become quickly addicted to the lure offered to them by the traveling gambler and his wife. That’s the focus of Here Come the Brides: A Hard Card …

Smallville is a show on the CW network that’s been around for eight seasons and going on it’s ninth and last season. Smallville is about the early life of Clark Kent before he became Superman. It’s kind of a slow progression starting in high school and moving forward to …

With only three episodes left, “To The Lighthouse” takes somewhat of a breather from the previous three episodes which were undeniably incredible, but still manages to keep things pretty interesting. It goes like this - Sarah, John, Cameron, and Derek are moving to another location in the desert to …

The Simpsons has been around forever and it’s the kind of show everybody knows about.
Those of you that haven’t seen it are missing out. Why? Because it’s funny and it’s current. By current I mean that the writers keep the material fresh and relevant to what …

All season, this show has teased at reaching the level of the early seasons of the show. Almost every time that happened, a sub par episode followed, so I don’t want to get my hopes up yet, but I found this episode highly enjoyable.
It had the perfect balance …

Lifetime Movie Network caters to women. This is the place for chick flicks. I�m not a fan of television, but when I need to sit down, relax and unwind, chances are I will tune into Lifetime Movie Network. There are movies shown twenty four hours a day, seven days …

This episode of the popular 90s American television show “The X-Files” was one of the most memorable episodes. I watched it many years ago and still cannot forget it because a particular part of the introduction make me cringe. It takes a lot to make me cringe too, as …

In That Girl: Soap Gets in Your Eyes, Ann gets a job on a soap opera which is ill timed since she’s about to meet Don’s parents. Don’s mother happens to watch the soap opera and isn’t able to separate Ann from her not-so-good character that she portrays. …

And so the first season comes to a close. This is an episode I had never seen, so I was especially looking forward to it and it didn’t disappoint. While there had certainly been a few UFO/Alien centered episodes (a surprising few looking back on the season …

I love Carrie Underwood and I think if she plays her cards right, she’ll be around for decades and end up being a country music legend. Of course, there’s a long way to go before then, but she has the potential. As someone who watched the high …

Third Planet from the Sun is an episode of the Twilight Zone from the first season of the original series. It is a cautionary tale. It is about nuclear war, and the end of the world. The story revolves around a family. The father works for the government, and …

Last night was another new episode of House; one that sets up his return to being a doctor.

Super Mario World - “The Night Before Cave Christmas” is not quite as memorable or entertaining as the other “holiday themed” episode, namely “Ghosts ‘R’ Us”, but I do like this episode because it is one of the few times in this episode that we actually get to see …

While the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer tends to go for laughs, the second season of the series is a bit more morbid; as the episode “Some Assembly Required” shows.
In this episode, rather than fighting vampires (with the exception of the one in the very beginning), buffy …

From the Earth to the Moon - Part 12: Le Voyage Dans La Lune is the only segment not introduced by executive producer, Tom Hanks, in this HBO mini-series. Instead, the introduction is done by Blythe Danner. The reason for the switch is that this is the …

I’ve often written that the letter home stories are among the best episodes of this TV series. As the series progressed, the letter home concept branched out. This one, M*A*S*H: Dear Comrade, was the latest way of doing a letter that communicates action and reports on various …

Laramie: The Lawless Seven has always been one of my favorite episodes. I just love the drama, the characters, the action, and the hint of romance that exists within the hour of this exciting western TV series. The focus in this particular episode is on Robert Fuller’s …

Here we have George Barkley rolled by Strother Martin introduced to the island. He actually plays a strong willed but passionate character. But he has downfalls of his own. Ginger actually picked up on one and another is greed. If Barkley would have worked with the Castaways instead of …

I once again sat down to watch an episode of Futurama with my oldest daughter last night. And, since it was the next one on the DVD, we ended up watching the season 1 episode entitled “Mars University.”
This one was an OK episode but not an overly great one. …

The Rachel Zoe Project: Changes in the Zoe Camp was the season 3 premier for this cable reality show that follows the activities of stylist Rachel Zoe. For me, Zoe is too self-involved. She gets orgasmic over fur, Chenille, and almost any fashion designer who will let …

I have to admit I really get a kick out of M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth from season seven. It’s a show that focuses on humor via some practical jokes. Unlike some other episodes which have had prankster storylines that were over-the-job and almost boring, this …

I am not very fond of sitting and watching serials for hours together. But this serial Saloni ka safar which gets telecasted in Zee TV has really made me an addict to watch. The heroine’s name is Saloni and this serial is about the sufferings of Saloni and how …

The Prisoner: Once Upon a Time is the second to the last episode of The Prisoner series. There were only 17 filmed. My understanding is that it was one of the most expensive shows to produce. I have no idea what its ratings were like and …

This episode was definitely interesting. A bunch of bikers invade the town and make it impossible for anyone to enjoy what they’re doing. At first it seemed like it was going to get repetitive and old, with the bikers trying to make more and more noise in …

Like I mentioned in another review, I’m home for a change and have been watching re-runs on TV. One of the shows I ended up watching was Beverly Hillbillies; more specifically, I watched the episode Big Chicken.
This was a funny episode (funnier than the description gave it credit for …

Alan Alda’s Hawkeye Pierce does his first complete letter home to his father in M*A*S*H: Dear Dad. These shows are always fun ones, giving slices of life more than just one central theme that takes up the full half hour. In this case, this is the holiday …

I haven’t watched the Show American Dad in some time now and don’t remember a whole lot about each of the characters. But, there wasn’t much on TV last night so I figured I would take the time to watch Rapture’s Delight.
It was an OK episode, but I feel …

Time travel always sounded so great to me. I actually have just one thing in my life that I would like to change and I know I wouldn’t have to do much to change it, just to go back in time to a certain point in my life and …

I wasn’t really excited about last night’s episode of Ghost Hunters; well, at least not from the paranormal end of things.
I liked the fact they were investigating the famous site of the Hindenburg explosion and there was quite a bit of history about the wreck explained that I didn’t …

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, …

After Larry’s latest behaviour; “Aren’t you Evelyn?” has now been picked up by ABC. But this reassuring new development doesn’t last for long, and as usual, Larry’s at the core of it all.
At a party hosted by an ABC bigwig; a broken bathroom lock serves as the catalyst …

The cold open has Batman flying a plane in World War 2. There’s not really any explanation, but Batman has time traveled before so it’s not too outlandish. He teams up with Enemy Ace to defeat..aliens I guess. I’m not sure, there wasn’t much in the …

The producers of Top Chef just never disappoint. The second episode of the season and they have me hooked. From time to time on the show in the past, they will have a group of persons separate and apart from the judges judge the chefs. For this episode …

If House were a medical drama I wouldn’t be interested in watching it, and if it were a typical soap opera type show I wouldn’t care either. I have never been interested in formulaic television. House has a formula in some shows, but the formula isn’t the show it …

This episode of Survivor was really fun to watch. It was a special show remembering those who had competed in Survivor in the past 19 seasons and how they were doing after the show.
The parts I really enjoyed was watching new clips of Russell Hantz who is my …

I love this edition of Fireball XL5: 1875. Gerry Anderson, the creator of the series, just really amazes me at how he utilizes the puppets and builds stories around them like we’d find in any science fiction TV series. In this one, that genius Professor Matt Matic …

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 …

Episode 1 of Season 4 of Fringe has been a bit strange. While the story of Fringe is strange and complicated in general, this one was even more strange, complicated and confusing than usual. I would not say that is was a particularly good episode of Fringe. I am …

Dear God does this show stink. I didn’t understand why they green lit it in the first place. Seth McFarlane already has two shows, what good would it do to make another one.
The whole concept is flawed. A spinoff show based on Cleveland? …

OK, I’ll admit it, even though there were some objectionable scenes in the Family Guy episode “Stewie Loves Lois” I think it is still one of the funnier episodes in the series.
You have two major plots. First, Lois fixes Stewies Bear Rupert and he realizes that he loves her …

After trying to watch Tosh.0 quite a few times, I am still truly baffled as to how this guy who hosts it got his own show. Now, I have absolutely nothing against the comedian who hosts it, but I remember when the first season premiere was advertising I thought …

“Mr. Potter Takes a Rest Cure” is another episode in the charming warm and fuzzy BBC series “Wodehouse Playhouse” (see my reviews for other episodes and for the series as a whole. In this episode an American publisher, Mr. Potter (played by Alan MacNaughtan) and a rising English politician …

Stargate SG-1: Within the Serpent’s Grasp is the last episode of season 1, the end of the 3-story season-ending arc, and the first of the 2-part cliffhanger. That’s a lot of show!
As mentioned in prior reviews, Daniel Jackson has a way of getting through to Jack O’Neill, and …
