Home Improvement Show
I love this show, Home Improvement. It reminds me of growing up in the ’90s. I loved the banter between Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson, who played his wife, Jill. I like how they work everything out with each other and care about what the other thinks. And they …
Lost (TV series)
This is show is so great. I only caught it during the second season but instantly fell in love with it. The characters are very well developed and you learn something new about them every episode as well as clues to their past and how it relates …
Sea Hunt: The Sound of Nothing TV Show
Sea Hunt’s third season continued with episode 35 which was called The Sound of Nothing, airing in September 1960. This was another show that focused on the commonalities of space and the ocean. Sea Hunt referred to these similarities quite a bit in earlier shows, but it’s …
The Simpson’s: Pray Anything
Last night was an episode of the Simpson’s that I’ve seen a couple of times and still think is somewhat funny; though not as funny as others.
“Pray Anything” has Homer discovering the power of prayer; where he thinks God is granting his every wish when it really is nothing …
The Craig Ferguson Show - 2/19/09
I’ve only watched The Craig Ferguson Show a couple of times and tonight’s episode was a good reason why. I didn’t laugh at the so-called monologue, which included a lot of references to something that happened the night before, so anyone tuning in who hadn’t seen the show …
Paul McCartney: Good Evening New York City
Paul McCartney: Good Evening New York City was a wonderful hour of entertainment presented on television on Thanksgiving in the United States. Sir Paul has performed for decades and is a favorite of so many generations. It’s just amazing to see his success. From the Beatles …
TV Show: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Television show description: A children’s show (suitable for pre-schoolers) that uses familiar Disney characters like Mickey, Minnie and Goofy to teach lessons about shapes, weights, colors, etc.
What I like about this show: My youngest daughter started watching this show a few weeks ago and, since it’s on at lunch …
Medium: How to Kill a Good Guy TV Show
Medium: How to Kill a Good Guy is a bit of a transitional show, which is sad really. That’s because it’s the episode where Ariel DuBois is about to head off to college. This is a huge loss, not just for the family, but for we the …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: To Kill a Princess
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: To Kill a Princess is another standard fare for this show that really wanted to be Indiana Jones in Malaya. Instead, it’s zookeeper with an overzealous love life. In fact, what began as one of those nice, undercurrent love stories between stars Bruce …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Jealousy (Episode)
“Jealousy” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode follows a pretty standard formula that I imagine, at the time, hadn’t been done to death like it has by now. In this episode, Rob ends up working late several nights with a beautiful woman that is …
Family Guy: Death is a Bitch
Well, I have to admit, when it comes to Family Guy episodes, the episode “Death is a Bitch” is pretty funny.
Peter discovers a lump on his breast and ends up going to the doctor; only to find out he’s not dying. However, because the bill is so high, he …
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the French Interpreter TV Show
I have so very much enjoyed the handful of 1954-1955 episodes of Sherlock Holmes that I’ve seen. This TV series starred Ronald Howard as the famous detective. I really like his smooth portrayal of Holmes. This specific entry is the 14th episode of the series and …
Spacelift: Transporting Trek into the 21st Century featurette
Spacelift: Transporting Trek into the 21st Century is a really interesting and intriguing featurette about how Paramount Studios created the remastered Star Trek series for DVD release. The digitally enhanced three seasons of this legendary series was released circa 2004. I was totally enthralled in how this …
CHiPs: Crack-Up
In CHiPs: Crack-Up, Jon is injured chasing a couple of drag racers. We get some good time angst for a few minutes while we wait to find out the results, like we didn’t know he’d pull through. I love this kind of stuff, though. All that …
Diagnosis Murder: Many Happy Returns TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Many Happy Returns is the first episode of season two for this medical sleuthing series which stars the wonderful Dick Van Dyke as Dr. Mark Sloan. Following are a few observations about this showing.
–One of the first things I noticed was Victoria Rowell’s new hair style and …
Jail (MyATL program)
There seems to be an influx of programs on television today that focus on crime and criminals. This one focuses on the actual jail experience. This is a nice twist because most reality shows center on what goes on prior to the crime occurring, or while …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Bulbasuar and The Hidden Village (Episode)
“Bulbasuar and The Hidden Village” is an episode of the “Pokemon” series. In this episode, Ash and company begin stumbling upon many traps and obstacles, only to later learn that the traps and obstacles were designed to prevent trainers from attempting to capture any Pokemon in the woods. The …
Hawthorne: No Exit TV Show
No Exit was labeled the season finale of the Jada Pinkett Smith drama show, Hawthorne. There have been just 10 episodes in this very short season, but for the most part, they’ve been decent ones. This one in particular was extremely intense and compelling. It was …
Let’s Make a Deal game show
I was home sick yesterday and got a chance to watch some day-time programming that I don’t normally get to see. One of the shows I had a chance to watch (at least part of) was the re-make of Let’s Make a Deal.
Maybe it was because I wasn’t feeling …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man-Beast TV Show
From February 1968, the 20th show of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s last season (it’s fourth) on television, Man-Beast, aired. It’s a show I have mixed feelings about because of the story’s plot. The primary guest star was Lawrence Montaigne, who played a scientist named …
The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 2 TV Show
The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 2 was good, but not as good as the opening hour that aired the prior week in January 1982. This picks up the story that has Colt and Howie in the middle of secret spy type stuff in Hawaii. They’ve …
Sealab 2021
The the television series “Sealab 2021″ was an animated comedy series which used to be broadcast on the programme Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. After doing some research on it I realised that it first premiered there in the year 2000, but I actually started watching the series about …
Oprah: Bret Michaels and Chely Wright 5/19/2010 TV Show
Oprah gets some A-class interviews and she landed a couple of good ones for this Wednesday, May 19, 2010 episode. The first half hour was devoted to rock singer, Bret Michaels. Now, I’ve never thought twice about this man until he went on Celebrity Apprentice this season. …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Deadliest Game TV Show

House TV show
I really believe House is the best show on television today. Fox found a hit when they started airing it. I’ve never been a big fan of medical shows but this one has the right combination of drama and comedy to keep me wanting to tune in every week.
The …
“Raising Hope” TV Show Pilot Episode
I like this show. It is so unlike other shows on tv now. The plot is a young man in his early twenties lives with is parents who had him at 15. They all live with a senile grandmother who comes in and out of lucidity. …
Inside Edition TV Show
Inside Edition is like picking up an issue of The National Enquirer at the supermarket or some other tabloid. It is purely tabloid TV. Anyone who thinks they have an alien baby, has seen a flying saucer, or dog can speak Chinese will be on this show. Despite the …
The Simpsons Season 7 Episode 2
Bart and Milhouse are die hard fans of Radioactive man. The “Comic guy” tells them that a movie is going to be made about Radioactive Man. The producers of the film decided to shoot the movie in Springfield. This delights the entire town. Announcement is made that auditions will …
Project Runway Season 2
I really enjoyed the first season of Project Runway, and have been pretty happy lately because one of the channels that I get has been rerunning Project Runway’s second season from beginning to end.
I really like this season’s contestants. I especially think Santino is funny and interesting. There …
Mr. Monk and the Paper Boy
I had never seen the Monk episode Mr. Monk and the Paper Boy before and I have to admit, after seeing it finally, I absolutely loved it. It was one of the best Monk episodes ever made.
Monk has his paper boy killed on his doorstep and the newspapers are …
I Dream of Jeannie
One of my brother’s favourite shows these days is an old American television show named “I Dream of Jeannie”. He will watch it sometimes on the cable television channel Nickelodeon on a program called Nick at Nite and sometimes if I have the time I will watch it with …
Quincy M.E.: Hot Ice, Cold Hearts TV Show
Everyone is celebrating the fourth of July as Quincy M.E.: Hot Ice, Cold Hearts commences. This is a first season outing and is, in fact, the fourth episode. Jack Klugman plays the title role and is the coroner for Los Angeles in this series. He’s also …
That Girl: An Uncle Herbert for All Seasons
While Joe Flynn, most famous on television for portrayal Captain Binghamton on McHale’s Navy, is a fine actor, his performance in That Girl: An Uncle Herbert for All Seasons left me a little flat. I doubt that it was totally Flynn’s fault. It was the character that …
Star Trek: Court Martial TV Show
Captain Kirk (William Shatner) has his hands full when he has to defend himself in Star Trek: Court Martial. He’s accused in the negligent death of one time friend, Lt. Cmdr. Ben Finney. The friendship ended when Kirk wrote up a negative report on the man. …
Family Guy: Barely Legal
OK, I like some Family Guy episodes and don’t like others as much. That’s going to be true about most series. But, some episodes of this show like “Barely Legal” are just a bit disturbing.
If you haven’t seen this episode, it goes a bit like this. Meg convinces Brian …
Alex Haley Queen Mini Series
Alex Haley’s Queen was my first exposure to any of Alex Haley’s work. The mini-series appeared on television in the early 90s, and even though Halle Berry had been a working actress prior to landing the leading role in the mini-series, I think it was her first breakout role …
Rescue Me series
Rescue Me is a phenomenal television program, expertly melding the genres of comedy, drama, and brief snippets of action into a seething, emotionally driven and, at times, flat out hilarious portrayal of life for New York City firefighters, especially in the midst of the tragedies of 9/11. Actor/ Comedian …
The Choir Revisited TV Show
This show takes a look back at the choir that Gareth Malone developed and trained from students of Northolt High School and actually made them successful enough to compete in a world competition in China. They didn’t make it through to the second round there, but they performed, …
Top Shot: Season Finale TV Show
Tonight was the grand finale of the first season of Top Shot. Unfortunately, my favorite, Kelly, was already gone so I wasn’t as invested in the event as I had been in the prior episodes. There were four remaining when the show began.
They had the first elimination …

CSI: New York: Point of View TV Show
I’ve always wanted to like CSI: New York because Gary Sinese is such a talented, dynamic actor. I actually do like, but I’ve never been hooked into it. I watched it more the first season when Sinese’s character was more in mourning over his wife, who had …
CHiPs: Flashback!
CHiPs: Flashback! is the final episode of the first season, and it’s terrific and is hands down the best of the year. In the course of this hour, we finally see just how Jon Baker (Larry Wilcox) met Frank Poncherello (Erik Estrada).
The catalyst for the flashbacks which combine …
Birdseye Steamfresh Brussel Sprouts
My wife and I had a chicken dinner last night and wanted a vegetable to go with it. Since we hadn’t had brussel sprouts in a while, we decided to pick up a bag of them from the Birdseye Steamfresh brand.
I was very disappointed.
To be fair, I usually don’t …
Sea Hunt: Cross Current TV Show
Sea Hunt’s third season saw an episode called Cross Current as it’s 19th outing. Airing in May 1960, this show had some very interesting movements in the water, with Mike Nelson drifting and being turned and tossed. We’ve seen some of this before, but I love the …
Stargate SG-1: Urgo
For the ultimate in SG-1 humor, Stargate SG-1: Urgo is the place to go. This season three episode guest starred the comedic genius of Dom Deluise in the role of Urgo. Dom Deluise has been around for decades, and he’s a very funny man. He’s done …
The Prisoner: It’s Your Funeral
The Prisoner: It’s Your Funeral is a little strange, but then most episodes of The Prisoner are strange. In this episode, Number Six’s moves are being tracked, recorded, and reported, and we get an idea of how the imprisoned ex-spy spends his time and keeps in shape.
There’s yet …
Destination Truth TV Episode: Spirits of Easter Island
Well, last night was the season finale of Destination Truth; Spirits of Easter Island. And, upon reflecting on it a bit, I have to say it was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.
Seeing Easter Island and all those giant heads was pretty cool. But, the investigation really …
