Sometimes a clever twist at the end of a season finale is a good thing for a series. Other times, like in the case of the show Bones, it might not be such a great move.
I missed seeing the season finale, The Pain in the Heart, when it first …

As is the case with many other viewers of ‘The Wire’, the next project undertook by David Simon was to be met with equal parts enthusiasm and scrutiny. The brilliance of ‘The Wire’ ensured there would be lofty expectations for ‘Treme’, but the fact that this show is quite …

This sixth season episode of Stargate SG-1 does nothing for me at all. It’s one of the reasons I just groan through most of the shows. This one is called Prophecy, and it focuses on Jonas Quinn, which may be why I just don’t like it.
The show ties …

Max Headroom: Grossberg’s Return is one of those scary episodes, not because of monsters and unseen horror, but because its fiction isn’t hard to envision happening in our very crazy world. This show often puts up questions of ‘what if’ for us to ponder by making it viable …

Last December 2008, I saw this reality Television show on Fox. It is entitled Secret Millionaire. It was just very timely then. The show can inspire people to share more during the holidays, no matter how bad the economy may be. Every episode I watch, my heart goes for our …

Most MASH episodes stick with one theme throughout; which keeps them entertaining. Some episodes; like “Baby it’s Cold Outside” try to do too much at once and that takes away from everything.
I think the main theme behind this one, as you can gather from the title, is how the …

It seems 21 has been pushing himself to new limits as he’s the most feared of the henchmen. …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Comanche is a very odd show in some ways. It’s a love story, an adventure tale, and a tribute, all in one half-hour episode. Yet, the connection is somewhat questionable. Actually, I’m not sure whether I like the story or not.
Comanche …

My daughter and I ended up watching a couple older Scooby Doo episodes last night; the episodes where Scooby and the Mystery Gang meet Batman and Robin and help them solve crimes involving some familiar characters from that series.

Sitting around, chatting, and listening to fanciful tall tales. That’s the delight and center of The Twilight Zone: Hocus-Pocus and Frisby from 1962. It’s a fun story that includes some harmless stories and some naive aliens, as in aliens from outer space.
Here are a few thoughts about …

As far as Monk episodes go, Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever was actually one of the worse ones I’ve seen.
While the side-plot of Natalie getting a job as television’s lotto girl was somewhat interesting, the reality was the show itself was a bit cruddy because there was really no …

M*A*S*H: O.R. is aptly named because the show is thirty minutes of operating room scenes. It’s a long stretch of emergency surgery that is featured in this half hour episode from the third season of this show about the Korean War. Oddly, this series outlasted the true …
