TV Reviews
Stargate SG-1: Paradise Lost
Stargate SG-1: Paradise Lost is one of the wildcards I mention in my standard season six reviews. It’s pretty darn good, but the reason for that is that a good part of the action is off-world, and it’s just Jack and Harry Maybourne.
Maybourne is tired of running. …
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 …
M*A*S*H: That Darn Kid
M*A*S*H: That Darn Kid is the final episode of season 10 and it’s a comedy focused one, unlike the previous season’s rather downbeat episode. For the second time during the series, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is paymaster, a job he doesn’t look forward to at all.
Just when Hawkeye’s …

Seven days Season 1 episode 19
I admit that I don’t think that one has to be very intelligent to watch this show and understand it because it is very simple, but some episodes are really ridiculous.
It starts when Olga and Ramsey catch Frank performing an operation on a rat. Frank invites Olga for a …
Doctor Who Special 3: The End of Time Part 1
So we come to the first of the two part finale that marks the end of David Tennant’s run as the Doctor. It aims big, I’ll give it that, but I can’t help but feel like it fell flat a little.
The episode picks up on the prophecy that …
Friends season 1 episode 1
It was a perfect beginning of the season, and also for the series. From this episode the new era has began, and this show ran for 10 years. The episode began showing that all of the friends are in the coffee house better known in the series as the …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.10: Lair of Grevious

Hawaii Five-O: Strangers in Our Own Land
“Look at that. One day we’ll be strangers in our own land.”

The Andy Griffith Show: The Manhunt TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Manhunt is another solid outing for the first season of this wonderful family television series. It’s a bit of a face off between this small town of Mayberry, its sheriff and his deputy, and the bigger state police of North Carolina and the …
Law and Order Criminal Intent
“Law and Order: Criminal Intent” can be seen as the sibling to “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit”. This is because while “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” deals with sexually based crimes; “Law and Order: Criminal Intent” mostly deals with other crimes such as murder. I don’t …
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says “What Are Friends For?” TV Show
From 1980, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says “What Are Friends For?” was the first one not directed and written by series creator, Steven J. Cannell, and it showed. While the essence of the wonderful characters of E.L. ‘Tenspeed’ Turner, played brilliantly by Ben Vereen, and Lionel Whitney, …

The X-Files Sanguinarium Episode
This episode was the 79th episode of the 90s American television series “The X-Files” and the sixth episode of the X-Files in season 4. It was one of my favorite episodes of the X-Files as I found it not to be scary but creepy and gruesome in a sense. …

Inbetweeners E4
Having ignored this show when it was originally aired, I stumbled across a repeat one evening on E4. I knew it was about four lads at school but that was about it. I must have turned on just at the right moment as I heard a characters reaction to …
Black Gold: S3, Ep 3 TV Show
In this third episode of Black Gold’s third season on TruTV, Peggy, the owner of the land on which the oil rig is currently operating, confronts the tool pusher about the broken cattle guard seen in episode 2. I don’t think much of this guy. He talks …
Notorious
Notorious is an hour long program that airs each and every week on The Biography Channel. I try to watch Notorious, although I can not say that I am able to catch this program every time it airs. I like Notorious because I learn about people that I had …
Smallville Season 7 episode 7
I enjoyed this episode. The story was that Clark and Lana are together when lightning strikes and Clark’s powers are transferred to Lana. Clark still has his powers and now so does Lana.
The episode started of kind of funny watching Lana giddy with joy at moving at …

Adam-12: Assassination
Adam-12: Assassination shows the peril that can face police officers when they are made the target of revenge. The plot begins slowly as ambush attempts and no one is sure if it’s random or targeted. It’s not until a man calls Jim Reed’s house that they know …
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 …
White Collar
Since Psych is in its mid-season break right now, my wife and I took the time to watch the series premiere of the show White Collar on Friday night.
It was much better than expected but there are some things I would definitely change.
The series, which is about a white …

Psych TV Episode: Psy versus Psy

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Lady

Star Trek: Voyager - Parallax
“Parallax” is an episode that I enjoyed quite a lot, not so much for the science fiction aspect of the story which I actually found pretty dull and loaded with a lot of talk that didn’t quite make much sense to me since it was all talk that centered …
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
I am really pleased that our three and a half year old son loves to watch Mickey Mouse Club house which is currently being shown on play Disney, ITV 1 and CITV. The programme has Mickey Mouse and all his friends such as Pluto, Donald duck, Daisy Duck, Minnie …

Hawaii Five-O gets into the drug scene with this first season episode called Up Tight. It was only a matter of time before they did an episode on the drug situation considering this show began in the late sixties. The impetus for the story is a young …
Ghost Whisperer: Leap of Faith
I decided to take a leap of faith tonight and watch Ghost Whisperer: Leap of Faith. Up until earlier this year, I was a big fan of the show. I wasn’t always happy with the direction it took (I hated it when Melinda’s best friend was killed …
I miss my “Friends”!!!
I know that it was everywhere and I know that people began to find it annoying, but I absolutely love “Friends”!!! I miss it so much. I watched every single episode of every single season in less that 10 days. I just went out and rented Season 6 again! …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Wager
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Wager is a second season episode from this half-hour series that starred Richard Boone as the gunfighter, Paladin. Though the performers are very good, I actually didn’t enjoy this episode very much, and there’s one big reason for that. Overacting.
Boone is …
Destination Truth TV Episode: Thai Tree People/Ayia Napa Monster
Synopsis: Josh and his crew travel to Thailand in search of a half-human, half-plant creature that the locals claim to have seen in the jungle. The second investigation has them traveling in search of a sea monster.

That Girl: The Other Woman
That Girl: The Other Woman is another good episode from the second season of this hit ABC comedy. Ethel Merman makes her second appearance of the season. Though the first one was the best of the two, this one has its own character and flavor to it.
One …
Sliders Double Cross
This could have really been a quite good episode of Sliders. It has a somewhat interesting take on some of the problems that face our own world (the idea of diminishing resources), a chance for our four homesick Sliders to finally make their way home as well as …
Alphas: Pilot Episode
I don’t usually watch or read science fiction; I find that far too often, the genre relies almost entirely on an idea for a science fiction story, book, or movie. This idea is often intriguing, but unfortunately in production falls short by using stock, one-dimensional, uninteresting characters with unpronounceable …
Star Trek: The Deadly Years TV Show
Star Trek: The Deadly Years is another one of my favorite shows. The reason is that I love those dramatic moments of loyalty and belief. There is nothing quite like seeing the reaction of the bridge crew when James T. Kirk sets foot on the bridge. …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Christmas Story

Andy Griffith and …
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Ring TV Show
I’m still trying out No Ordinary Family but I’m not sure that I’ll be sticking with the full season. There are elements of the show that I like. It’s different in that it’s not a family gaining super powers who then all become super heroes. Rather, …

Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana isn’t really a favorite episode of this series for me, but it still has some good moments. Dick Van Dyke is so good that he takes the mediocre and makes it worth watching. In this first season outing, Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan checks …
