Columbo: A Matter of Honor from season five has some good and bad points to it from my point of view. Ricardo Montalban is the primary guest star, playing bullfighter Luis Montoya. Pedro Armendáriz Jr. plays Commandante Sanchez, who Columbo ends up working with in Mexico. …

As the series winds down, That Girl gave us one last typical episode in the name of Two for the Money. In the story, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) is on a modeling assignment at the racetrack. We get to see her doing all kinds of poses and …

Man, I wanted to like this episode more than I did. It wasn’t bad per se, but it had everything going for it, yet the end result was still only passable. Straczynski was writing it, it centered on an ancient world threatening evil, and Slimer had only …

Another interesting Ghost Hunters episode; or at least something that seemed interesting at first; Irish Ruins.
This one has the TAPS team doing some investigating in Ireland and England. The first case had them at the ruins of a building in the middle of nowhere that is now overgrown with …

Sponge Bob is a great show. I think this show is very funny and creative. But I also think that who ever writes the show is on some serious drugs. I mean the stuff they come up with on this show is really crazy, and very funny. It really out …

You may have heard of MTV’s Pimp My Ride, but have you ever seen CMT’s version: Trick My Truck? I watched this show last night on CMT and was amazed. Trick My Truck is a show where people nominate their parent or friend who drives a big rig …

Tonight was the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode Dangerous Curves and I have to say it was one of the more interesting episodes I’ve seen.
Basically, this episode gave us some insight into Homer and Marge’s past; both before she became pregnant and they got married and a …

Cold Blooded, the latest episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, didn’t impress me as much as last week’s show about hoarding did, but it was close. This was more of a Halloween themed show, not that many shows could be called that from this current year of episodes. …

I’m not sure what to think about Have Gun - Will Travel: The Campaign of Billy Banjo which just never really captured my attention. It sounded like it should be entertaining, but I wasn’t. I found myself losing interest and drifting and then having to re-watch scenes. …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Downwind from Gettysburg starts out reminding me of the living Mr. Lincoln exhibit from Disneyland. I’ve seen that marvelous show numerous times over the years, and it’s marvelous the way Disney created a Lincoln who could stand and talk to the visitors.
In Downwind from …

Diagnosis Murder: The Last Laugh: Part 2 concludes the events from the prior week’s episode, and there’s some good stuff contained within its hour.

Playing into what is popular at the time is what South Park seems to aim for these days, and this episode, entitled “Whale Whores”, is a prime example of this. The Japanese travel around killing dolphins and whales, and it is up to Stan, who takes over an anti …

Columbo: Playback, from season four, is notable to me for one of its guest stars, Oskar Werner. Werner has done some incredible things, but there is one performance that stands out to me. While I love him in Farenheit 451, it’s his portrayal as Father Telemond in …

I have mixed feelings about the show Big Brother. Sometimes I like the show and sometimes I can’t stand it. For those of you who do not know about Big Brother, it is a reality TV show, where 12 people go into this house and the whole nation watches …

Have Gun - Will Travel: American Primitive aired in February 1963 and was the 21st episode of the western’s sixth and last TV season.

The Simpsons is probably one of the best shows ever made. This show is just awesome. I really enjoy watching the wacky episodes they come up with in this show. This is one of the funniest shows ever created.
My favorite character on The Simpsons is probably Homer. The reason …

I really can’t say all that much for M*A*S*H: Cementing Relationships, which to me is just an okay episode. There are two main plots going on. One deals with the 4077th’s quest to get a new floor for the operating room. Apparently, patients are getting infections …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Hunt the Man Down deals with a range war that pits brother against brother. Range wars are a common plot in westerns and in its first two seasons, this thirty-minute western has done several shows with that them. Richard Boone stars as …

I don’t know if I really like this episode or really hated it; there are some interesting points to it, yet it was really hard to watch, which took away from the enjoyment of the show. I realize that in the real life, the crimes and the investigations are …

Weird is weird and that’s pretty much how I feel about The Ray Bradbury Theater: Touched with Fire despite the fact that it has a guest cast that includes Barry More and Eileen Brennan. Basically the plot of this August 1990 science fiction outing has two aging and …

Well, another Ghost Hunters episode down and even more doubts about why I bother to watch this show in the first place.
This time around, they did investigate a private home rather than a tourist trap. That was OK. I also liked the fact they added a new investigator for …

The Song Remains the Same, Episode 602, opens with Joey and Dawson in bed, kissing after a night of love-making. And then when Joey wakes up Dawson is walking in with coffee and roses that he picked for her. It’s a really sweet scene, but there is something that …

I wasn’t that …

Stargate SG-1: Upgrades is often described as just two little words — Tok’ra Spice. As I’ve said before, with a new producer at the helm, the show was no longer the great show of exploration and character dynamics. Now it was a soap opera, and early in …

When I first saw the commercials for the new Simpson’s episode To Surveil With Love, I have to admit, I thought it would be better.
The episode, which has Springfield in a panic after Homer accidentally leaves plutonium at a diner and it causes a huge detonation, has its moments. …

From November 1957, Highway Patrol: Safecracker was the fourth outing of this police drama’s third season. It was actually a very calm show, I thought. It was easy to watch with nothing that really screamed ‘I’m great’ and nothing that moaned of it being horrible. It …

“The Haunted” is a paranormal show that oddly enough, is shown on the Animal Planet. I found this weird until I realized that the show’s premise is that animals can see and hear things (otherworldly things) that human beings cannot. And after watching a few episodes, …

Have I mentioned how much I hate Slimer and how much he annoys the bejeezus out of me, being an albatross around every episode? I have? Oh, OK then. One has to wonder what the logic behind this was. If one Slimer is incredibly annoying, what …

So we come to the first part in the three part season finale. While the season was mostly stand-alone episodes with the “Saxon” arc only getting brief mention, this still manages to be a culmination of everything that’s happened so far.
Team TARDIS finds themselves landing on Earth in …

Miley Cyrus is perhaps one of the most amazing teenage girl whom brings her dad along to Ellen’s interview.

Well, I finally had a chance to watch a Home Improvement episode while home at lunch (I got home in time, in other words, because the traffic wasn’t quite as bad as it normally is). I ended up seeing the one entitled Tool Man Delivers.
This one is actually kind …
