This is the fourth season finale. I found this episode to be really sad. In this episode Alison is contacted by a lawyer who wants her to go to his house and calm down his wife. She had really loved that house and he went through a lot of trouble …

In the late 1990s and the early 2000s, there were three cartoons on Cartoon Network which I remember were quite popular amongst children and a few teenagers I knew. These were “Johnny Bravo”, “Cow and Chicken” and “Dexter’s Laboratory”. Even now I think that “Dexter’s Laboratory” or “Dexter’s Lab”, …

Max Headroom: Rakers from April 1987 starts out with some curious dramatic angst when controller Theora Jones (Amanda Pays) can’t be found, causing Edison Carter (Matt Frewer) to become concerned. While others suggest he just not worry about her and hire a new assistant, Edison refuses and tracks …

The Middle is a new show on ABC this fall. At the time of this writing, there have been six episodes shown. I have seen every one so far - some multiple times - so I think I have a good enough idea to write this review so far.
The …

I thought this episode of the popular 1990s television show was okay. I couldn’t say that I found it particularly intriguing, as I didn’t think it was very good. However, I didn’t think that the episode was very terrible either. I thought that all the elements …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Coffin is about two brothers who aren’t the best of friends. We see them together, disagreeing. At first, we wonder if the entire story is just going to be about their relationship. It is, but it’s broader that than. Also, interestingly, …

Well, this second episode of White Collar wasn’t too bad considering I had a few doubts after the pilot episode.
At least, in this case, which involved New York Fashion week, he actually proved why he was, at one point, a criminal mastermind and used his intelligence to help trap …

The intensity of the first part of this story continues with Hawaii Five-O: Once Upon a Time: Part II. It’s a few months later, and Steve McGarrett’s nephew has died, earning him the wrath of his sister, Mary Ann. She blames her brother for interfering in what …

Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox are back in action with CHiPs: Disaster Squad from the show’s second season. The thread that loops all the pieces together in this show is a cute little boy named Christian Zika. He is a little reminiscent of Robbie Rist, the sort …

Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part II picks up where Part 1 left off, at a dramatic standoff at a railroad station. The problem is that the end of Part 1 was a little misleading. Now isn’t that unusual? About the only good part was …

Wild Kingdom, from Mutual of Omaha, is a long-running nature show which is currently appearing on Animal Planet. This show features animals from around the world, and traces their stories as they struggle to survive in the wild. In the episode entitled Return of the Fire Cat, …

I got a chance to watch bits and pieces of last night’s House episode. From what I saw of it, it was a pretty interesting show.
This time around, House and his team have to figure out what is killing a high school girl before all her organs start failing. …

“Raphael” is a documentary that covers the life and times of Raphael Sanzio. He was considered one of the most gifted artists to evolve from the Renaissance era responsible for The Transfiguration and The School of Athens artworks. Along with Da Vinci and Michelangelo, he concluded an almost holy …

CHiPs: CHP-BMX has some extra added drama to it when Sergeant Getraer (Robert Pine) has a family crisis. After a bike race, his young son is hit by a car and is taken to the hospital in serious condition. What amazes me is that Getraer goes to …

Trick Shot Showdown was the 7th episode to air of the Top Shot competition series that pits top gun and rifle shooters against one another. They accomplish this by first having a team competition — blue team versus the red team. Now in my view, the blue …

The That 70s Show Episode “The Drive-in” is one of the funnier episodes this show ever made. And, the funny part about that is it really has nothing to do with a drive-in.
OK, I should re-phrase that, you do have a whole storyline where Eric, Kelso, Jackie and Donna …

South Park likes to be up to date as far as the stories they cover in their episodes, and this episode seems to take it up a notch. The episode revolves around Ike seeing dead celebrities, and the ghost of Michael Jackson possessing him. It satires the fact that …

I guess many do not like the show Reaper. To be honest, I did enjoy the show and was thinking that it was a bit funny too, the first episode did not start very well, actually but then I appreciated it as the story develops. The idea of selling …

Every pilot episode of a tv show should do three things: introduce the characters and the plot, set the tone for the series, and draw the viewer’s attention.
‘Blink’ achieves all three easily. The plot is, of course, similar to all the other procedurals out there, and as a part …

Devoted to those of the 30’s and 40’s and filmed in 2006, Private Screenings: Child Stars was a wonderful discussion about a long ago era. Hosted by Robert Osbourne, this Turner Classic Movies’ special featured our guests — Margaret O’Brien, Jane Withers, Dickie Moore, and Darryl Hickman.
This discussion …

I only started watching project runway last season and I loved every minute of it. I find it hard to imagine that they will top last season because everybody was so histerical and all the fashion challanges were great. Season three premiered on wedsnday night and …

The second season of The Golden Girls was a really good one. The show combines four older women of an older age who live together in Miami, Florida. One of the better episodes involved Blanche’s much older father coming to town and marrying a woman less than half his …

Being a huge fan of the first two seasons of Everest - Beyond the limit, I have been waiting for a long time to see this new season.
The first 3 episodes of the show aired on the 27th of december which I found a little odd. Why release …

The Virginian: Two Men Named Laredo isn’t too bad to watch. It actually was unusual in that the 90-minute western dealt with mental illness. At the center of that was Fabian, who showed some acting chops in his portrayal of Eddie aka: Josh Laredo. He joins …

In Diagnosis Murder: Death in the Daytime, Amanda Bentley (Victoria Rowell) wins a walk-on appearance on the soap opera, The Young and the Restless. Naturally, everyone is happy for her and they all want to go with her. Someone does die, along with members of the Y …

There aren’t many shows that do a Friday the 13th episode. But, watching Psych last Friday and seeing them do a spoof of the movie was kind of cool.
Ok, it wasn’t really true to the film. But, seeing Shawn and Gus investigating a disappearance at their old youth campground …

Edward Winter returns as Colonel Flagg of the CIA in M*A*S*H: Rally ‘Round the Flagg, Boys. He shows up at the 4077th because an angry soldier complains that Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) operated on a North Korean before the U.S. soldiers. This leads Flagg to believe that Hawkeye …

This was the best opening for Due South in a long time. I was laughing out loud. I recognized what they were doing right off the bat. Mountie Fraser and Fake Detective Vecchio were trying to get away from some bad guys when they were stuck …

“Ash Catches a Pokémon” is the third episode of the “Pokemon” television series and this episode is one that does a good job of showing off the dynamic that quickly begins to build between the Ash and Misty characters. This is the first episode where Ash and Misty actually …

The leftover remnants of Michael Shanks’ original story idea show up in this seventh season episode. Stargate SG-1: Resurrection is actually a bit of Hannibal Lecter meets the NID. It’s just not the type of story one would imagine Shanks writing, and it’s really not. It’s …

Burn Notice: Double Booked was the second episode I’ve seen of this series that didn’t have Michael Shanks as a guest star that I could say that I liked and enjoyed watching. Overall, the show just doesn’t do it for me, even though it’s a smart show with …

The second episode of Dancing with the Stars continued the injury bus. I don’t know what it is about this show, but the stars are dropping like flies. First, before the show even hit the air last week, Nancy O’Dell and Jewel both had injuries that took …

The series premier of Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn aired in September 2010. I’m not really into cooking shows unless they are of the reality type in terms of competitions, but I will admit that I liked Lucinda’s energy at the beginning of this show.
The show went …

Let me tell you about the best T.V. series that has ever existed. First of all, Doctor Who is, as you could call it, ancient. It is either one of the first or actually the first science fiction series of all time. The main character is an alien that …

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, …

Once again, we’re given a teaser where there isn’t any explicit paranormal activity. It’s very bizarre. You’d think that the writers would want to hook you with something overtly bizarre, but the last couple of episodes have been far more mundane. Granted, the bizarreness of the …

I wasn’t overly impressed with the season premiere of Project Runway last week. But, mostly because there really isn’t anything else on Thursday nights, my wife and I ended up watching the second episode of the season called Larger than Life.
And, once again, I was left thinking this show …

Wow, that was a boring Ghost Hunters episode; “Hartford Conservatory.” How in the world did this show last beyond its second season with episodes like this one almost every single week.
You have the TAPS team visiting two places. One is a residence in New Jersey and the other is …

In episode 5 of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, entitled Down and Out in New York City, there is major drama as usual.
Kim and her pal with benefits Shango , her former bodyguard from the land down under, Australia, over hear Kourtney and Scott engaging in PG …

Everyone was asleep early last night so I found myself watching another episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents; Into Thin Air.
I have grown to love this old show. But, this was an episode I have to admit I was not overly impressed with.
The episode is about a woman who checks …

Centennial: The Massacre is one of the most difficult episodes of this epic mini-series to watch. It’s top notch drama and stands up to the ongoing quality and expectations of this series, which is based on the novel by James Michener. That said, it’s hard to watch …

Naruto Shippuden Episode 1 begins with Naruto and Sakura searching for Sasuske and later, his return to the Hidden Leaf Village. Meanwhile, the Akatsuki, the organization that attacked the Hidden Leaf Village, is planning something.
This episode was pretty good, I’m not a big fan of the Naruto anime franchise, …

I love The Biggest Loser. My mom and I watch it every Tuesday together. I find it motivational. It does get frustrating, however, if you’re trying to lose weight with the show because they lose so much because all they do is exercise every day. I have learned, however, …

I was quite surprised, and pleased, to see that Lisa Niemi returned as reporter Janie Crane in Max Headroom: The Blanks. After having virtually no lines in the prior show called War, in The Blanks she actually does get some decent dialog. I had no clue she …

The Ghostbusters battle Cthulu, really do I need to say anymore? That alone makes the episode a win and, to wit, it was amazing to boot. Seriously, there is nothing to complain about. There was humor, the Lovecraft mythos gets a nice little love letter, and …

One day Patrick and Spongebob are outside playing, up to no good like usual, and they come across an abandoned baby scallop, which its parents are no where to be found. Well being the concerned people that they are, they decide to take the animal in and be its …
