I’ve said it before, and I may just say it again, but it amazes me how many shows of Highway Patrol revolve around the helicopter. The actual ‘copter’ word is used in numerous titles throughout the series’ run. I suppose in the late 50’s when this show …

“Battle 360″ is a TV show displayed on the History Channel every Friday night at 10 Eastern. It is a nearly commercial-free look at the history of the USS Enterprise (a carrier) in the second World War. It is, of course geared towards history-buffs, but I believe that even …

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 …

When I first saw the description of Detective Conan, a kid who solved cases, I wasn’t too keen on watching it. But then I thought that I might as well check it out. When I finally saw it, I realized that it was a High Schooler who turned into …

I don’t make it a habit watching shows designed for pre-teens. But my daughter will occasionally watch the show ICarly and I have to admit it is a pretty good show.
The series features a young girl, Carly, and her friends who have a hit internet show. Each episode consists …

The lacklustre final season delivers a pretty decent episode with this, for the most part a Reyes centric tale that offers up an original enough idea and some solid character development for both Reyes and Doggett.
After a pleasant evening with Doggett, Reyes begins her drive home but is …

Episode 112 „Revelations part 1″ is a first part of a season finale of the sci-fi series „Sanctuary”. “Sanctuary” started as a webseries but was soon picked up as a tvshow by the Scifi Channel. It stars Amanda Tapping of the Stargate fame and Robin Dunne as scientists trying …

America’s got talent is a great TV show and I love that the show is very entertaining but one of the best things about this show would have to be the judges. I like the attitude of Howie Mandel because he has a friendly but sarcastic attitude at times …

The pilot for Hawaii Five-O was presented as a movie that aired several days before the regular season began. The show is about the elite state police force of Hawaii, which is called Five-0. The force is led by Steve McGarrett, a no-nonsense and tough man of …

My kids spent a great deal of time watching Spongebob Squarepants over the course of the weekend because a couple of stations had marathons on and it was too cold to send them outside.
As is usually the case, the same few episodes aired at least three different times over …

Teach - Tony Danza: Solidarity is the fifth hour of this documentary. The premise has this performer known for Taxi and Who’s the Boss actually teaching English at Northeast High School in Philadelphia. It’s been a challenge for him, but I think he’s grown, and I continue …

This is the last season of All in the Family to be released on DVD even though the show ran for nine years before changing its name to Archie Bunker’s Place. It’s a shame that the remaining seasons haven’t been released and it’s possible they never will be considering …

We see them every year at Easter time — chocolate bunnies, some stuffed and some not. Many companies make them, one of which is Palmer. The Palmer Hollow Milk Chocolate Rabbit looks adorable. It’s in a pretty box that is alluringly printed with colorful rabbits to …

“Here Comes the Squirtle Squad” is an episode of the “Pokemon” series and the third episode in a row the deals with an abandoned Pokemon or abandoned Pokemon. After watching “Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village” and “Charmander the Stray,” I admit that the theme of abandonment was starting to …

In ways, I was disappointed in Dead Like Me: My Room because the advancement of the mother and daughter storyline that had begun two episodes back more or less went down the tubes here. I just didn’t like the downward spiral that was continuing here between Joy and …

In M*A*S*H: Post Op, the 4077th unit is deluged with casualties. It’s not unusual really, but it reaches a critical point when they run out of blood. This means that each of the personnel has to donate blood every 48 hours. It actually gets so bad …

I have watched every episode of NCIS currently on air. The show itself has many good points that keeps me returning to it every time I see it on my guide channel. The characters depth and personality, story development, and interesting interesting twists and turns keep me …

I am awaiting the start of the ninth season of Dancing with the Stars with bated breath. I first followed this reality dance show, which features a professional ballroom dancer teaming up with a celebrity to do ballroom dancing, when I watched Mel B and Maksim Chmerkovskiy dance the …

I’m a huge Green Lantern fan, so when I found out that an episode of “Duck Dodgers” (a show I’m also a fan of) crossed over and had Dodgers joining the Corps to battle Sinestro, I had to track it down. It was as geektastic as I hoped. …

I watched the Oscar’s on Sunday night, and I was kind of disappointed. For one thing, I didn’t really like lining up all the contenders like it was an episode of American Idol or something.
The fashion was kind of lacking in some areas, as well. The men looked …

Dominion is the second to the last episode of Stargate SG-1 and frankly, it bored me stiff. I don’t like the Ori, don’t care about Adria, don’t like Ba’al, and am just extremely frustrated by Daniel not being Daniel, not to mention all the times he’s been put …

“The Visitors” is an episode of “The Jeffersons”. In this episode, the audience gets to meet both Florence’s mother and father. First, Florence’s mother shows up at the Jeffersons’ apartment, much to the surprise of everyone, including Florence, but another surprise soon hits, and it’s one that shocks Florence …

In 1973, after the live action had been off the air for several years, an animated version of Star Trek hit the Saturday morning lineup.
The plus of this series was that all of the performers from the live action show returned. Having the original actors voice their characters …

The 1985 crime drama series, Street Hawk presents as its third episode, The Adjuster, a show which guest stars Marjoe Gortner. I’m not a fan of Gortner’s, to be honest. He’s a little too quirky and off-kilter for my tastes. I’ve always been surprised that his …

I have recently started getting back into watching the television show Big Brother. The show is currently on season seven. For this season they have brought back players from the past six seasons to form an all-stars group. In the show a group of people live together in a …

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 …

If I ever want to feel better about the mess in our house, all I need to do is turn on the television and watch the show Clean House.
Each week, Clean House visits another home that has become such a disaster area, you have to wonder why the people …

I find the storyline of The Good Wife very compelling. The series revolves around a wife who stands by her man even though he had been publicly condemned as a philanderer. What indeed happens to the wife of the philanderer after he is exposed to the public? Although every …

“Showdown in Pewter City” is the fifth episode of the “Pokemon” series and it features Ash’s first gym battle as well as the introduction of Brock Slate, the gym leader of Pewter City. I like this episode a lot, and not because of the gym battle, either. The gym …

Sharon Farrell is the big guest star in Wagon Train: The Pearlie Garnet Story, a ninety-minute, seventh season episode of the series. There’s little to love about Pearlie. She’s a pathetic and sad character, and this is her story, much of which is told in flashback.
The story reveals …

Dead Like Me: Reaper Madness was the first episode of this series that I just sort of watched and enjoyed calmly. One of the reasons is that I do love happy endings. I like positiveness. I’m just not into doom and gloom and offbeat stuff that …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s 16th show for its fourth and last year on television was called The Lobster Man and aired in January 1968. Starring Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison, my favorite of the series, as Captain Lee Crane, this show …

Trigun is a Japanese Anime space western that takes place on a distant planet called Gunsmoke. It involves bounty hunters trying to collect the bounty on Vash the Stampede, who has a $$60,000,000,000 bounty on his head. He’s known as the “Humanoid Typhoon” because he causes a …

Highway Patrol: Gem Robbery, a second year episode of this police drama centers around a robbery of gems. The show opens with the robbery, though we don’t know at first what is happening.
Basically, a courier named Harris arrives and is supposed to be met by the gemologist’s secretary, …

Wagon Train: The Widow O’Rourke Story is one of my favorites. It’s really quite different and interesting, and Robert Fuller gets to play two parts. Along with his regular role as Cooper Smith, the scout for the wagon train, in flashbacks he plays the Irish husband of …

We were waiting for the Simpsons to come on last night and ended up watching a re-run of That 70s Show; the one entitled Baby Fever.
This was actually a cute episode. Kitty and Red agree to watch one of their friend’s baby (even though they end up dumping the …

Hey, look at this. Another Buffy the Vampire Slayer season and another episode revolving around her (19th) birthday. Doesn’t anyone else have a birthday on the show?
Once again, we also have to have some sort of problem going on during her birthday celebration. Seriously, can’t the girl just have …

This new sitcom, starring and written by central star Miranda Hart, promises itself as something of a throwback to the classic 70s sitcom, the type where crude but allowable jokes were plenty and cardboard cutout characters were commonplace.
While this show is only starting out, things don’t look good. …

Changing Lanes was a documentary of sorts that aired in 2010 on the BET Network. Over a couple of months, viewers watched several young racers vying to win one of four spots on a new racing team in NASCAR. This new team was called Revolution Racing and …

Stargate SG-1: Prisoners is a huge favorite of mine. I can watch this episode over and over again, and I have, many times.
In this show, the team end up being transported to a prison colony for what Jack terms, jaywalking. Now, they have to figure out how …

In M*A*S*H: In Love and War, Susan Krebs guest stars as Nurse Gleason, brand new to the 4077th as of the first scene. Casual conversation as she takes off her jacket and prepares to get right to her job has Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) suspicious to her husband, …

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 …

As the first episode of The Beast continues, FBI agents Charles Barker and Ellis Dove find their new partnership buckling from accusation and distrust. While on the surface, the two are carrying out their latest mission, the back story about whether or not Barker is a ‘dirty’ agent …

After an amazing second episode, the third instalment in the sixth season of the popular crime drama “The Closer” was perhaps nothing to write home about, but still provided some quality drama. The case concerning a custody battle, in which a cancer-ridden father engaged with a drug addict mother, …

I have long been a fan of anything with the words “Star” and “Trek” in the title. I watched the original series many years ago. But, when Star Trek: The Next Generation came on the scene, I refused to watch it simply because I wasn’t willing to accept a …

Abs-Cbn has just broadcasted a documentary film about Philippine’s malnutrition. The title is “Dalawang Mukha ng Malnutrisyon” or “The two faces of Malnutrition”. I know that even fat kids are not well nourished, but I did not realize that making your kids eat whatever they want can actually be …

I really enjoyed the Reflections on Spock featurette which was done towards the end of 2003. It has some very interesting reflections by Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock. What caught my attention early on was Nimoy discussing his book, I am Not Spock and the controversy that …

I just watched this particular Law and Order Special Victims Unit episode and was surprised to know that it was the second episode in season one and I had never seen it before that. A part from that what I found most interesting was the plot. At first, after …

In another review I wrote a few minutes ago, I had said that the human mind is a powerful thing. That’s not exactly earth shattering news, but it is something that The Twilight Zone exploits and uses in many of its stories. It’s never done more so …

Macross Plus Episode 4 begins with Sharron taking control of all the computer systems and using them against Isamu who is trying to stop her and rescue Myung.
This was the best episode because it brings the story to a good conclusion while showing off the excellent fight …
