It seems incredible that a new program on TV like Remington Steele would have two very similar concepts done back to back, but that’s the case with this outing from season one called Steele Trap. Just before this show, there was another where Steele and Laura Holt were …

I have no idea why I can’t seem to find much information on TLC’s show “One Big Happy Family.” This show features a family of overweight black people. There is a father, mother, son and daughter—”each of whom weighs over 300 pounds. I would say …

Sea Hunt: Storm Drain, the 29th program to air in this underwater adventure series’ third season on television, included an appearance by young Beau Bridges in the role of Warren Tucker. Beau, who grew up to be a terrific actor himself, was the young son of series star …

So often we hear about extraordinary missions and fetes accomplished by various military groups. These are bold and daring tasks that most people can barely imagine, let alone accomplish on their own. This is what makes Surviving the Cut a really special TV series. It lets …

I haven’t seen too many recent Simpsons episodes but I had a chance to watch a couple of them (in re-runs last night).
One of those, “In the Name of the Grandfather” was kind of cool.
I love how this episode starts out. The Simpsons end up buying a hot tub …

Junior Apprentice Episode 1 began by introducing the viewers to the 10 contestants selected from 28,000 applicants to vie to be Lord Alan Sugar’s junior apprentice. Now I remember watching the first regular Apprentice and found it very interesting. Sugar operates differently from Donald Trump and for …

I thought I had seen all the MASH episodes that were ever made (they show it in re-runs enough) but came across one that was new to me; “Hey Look Me Over.”
This one was actually a bit interesting because you had two interesting stories going on at once. First, …

Turner Classic Movies has produced a wonderfully simple biography on Ron Howard, known to some as Opie on “The Andy Griffith Show” and as Richie on “Happy Days”, and well respected as one of Hollywood’s leading movie directors. It’s called “Ron Howard: 50 Years in Film.”
There’s nothing glitzy …

This is a brilliant episode of the show On The Run. It tells a story of a Malaysian man who had robbed people of millions of dollars across continents for years. Although his identity was known and he was wanted and chased after in several countries, his instintcts have …

For its 29th episode of season 6, Have Gun - Will Travel presents a very poetic show called The Lady of the Fifth Moon. I have a few thoughts about this episode, and they follow.
–This episode is just strewn with words of whimsy and love’s poems. It …

The Andy Griffith Show: Rafe Hollister Sings is quite the entertaining half hour episode of this successful comedy series from the early sixties. I love the songs, the lightheartedness of it, and the comedic beats which are family oriented, meaning this show is enjoyable for all ages. …

Ever since its arrival, NOVA has been home to some interesting shows. Their educational 1-hour documentaries often intrigue thousands and thousands of viewers. Recently, I watched “Becoming Human-A 3 part series” for my Biology class. As I sat at the computer for three whole hours I felt myself starting …

In M*A*S*H: Pressure Points, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) gets overly snappy and testy towards the personnel, especially Hawkey Pierce (Alan Alda) after returning from a brief trip away. It all stems because Hawkeye has to operate on one of Potter’s patients. The colonel becomes more intolerant …

Seinfeld is a show that my husband and I enjoy watching, even though it has been over for years and you can only catch reruns. It is always good for a laugh.
The show centers around a comedian, Jerry, and his life in New York City, surrounded by his friends, …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Yuma Treasure is a second season episode that was pretty good to watch. In the show, Paladin (Richard Boone) shows up at an Army fort in the middle of no where. He’s been asked to come there by the fort’s …

Even after well over a decade since it was last on our screens, apart from a rather badly conceived “Back to Earth” special shown in 2009, Red Dwarf remains - at least as far as I am concerned - the greatest of all science fiction sitcoms. The BBC stuck …

“Washington vs. the Bunny” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This is the first episode of the series to implement a weird but funny dream sequence, a technique that the television show would revisit in later episodes on occasion. In this episode, Rob is sent to …

Well, the Simpsons repeat that was on last night wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t what I was expecting it to be.
Weekend at Burnsie’s had so much potential. Homer injures his eye after befriending a bunch of crows only to make them mad at him later (I wonder what …

Tonight’s episode was heart breaking. For starters of the main characters, Chelsea, Leah and Kailyn all have sad stories. Janelle is just screwing things up for herself. The premise of the show is 4 girls who are teens and have babies. Simple enough concept. …

One of the things that worked against Legend is that it was on the new UPN network. They didn’t have the stamina to let the series grow and really find its strength. Still, what we do have are a collection of tales in which actors Richard Dean …

I took the day off yesterday to spend it with the kids and, because I was trying to get my youngest to take a nap (while rocking with her in the rocking chair), I ended up flipping channels and came across an Andy Griffith Show re-run entitled The Beauty …

When I saw the previews for last night’s summer finale of Psych, I will admit I had some doubts about it. After all, it was an episode that had Shawn and Gus helping an international spy. It just seemed a bit unbelievable.
But, after watching it, I have to admit …

If you have never owned a TIVO system that believe me this is one thing that I love more then anything in the world. The Tivo system attaches to your TV and works much like a VCR which stays at the top of your TV. Essentially, the TIVO will …

The third season of the half hour police drama, Highway Patrol, continued on with its amazing 36th episode, entitled Hostage Officer. I do love the early days of television, in the fifties and sixties where TV seasons lasted this long, and even longer.
In the case of Hostage Officer from …

Synopsis: Series premiere of the show introduces Dr. Dorian as he starts serving his residency at the hospital for the first time and meets the people who are working there with him.
What I liked about this episode: I think the best part of this episode, for me at least, …

Sea Hunt: Midget Submarine brought to mind memories of watching an old favorite show of mine, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Now potentially the idea for the flying submarine could have come from Sea Hunt’s use of this midget submarine since this show predates Voyage. …

Corner Gas is a Canadian show usually seen on the Comedy Network. It’s set in Dog River, a small town in the prairies, and is about some people at a gas station and a diner.
It’s pretty funny, full of Canadian references and mostly making fun of the characters …

Classic television has done it once again with repeats of The Munsters. The show features Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis who starred in Car 54 Where are You. Pat Priest and Patrick Butchram and Yvonne Dicarlo also appear on the show. However just the characters of …

While Norman Briggs (Michael Tucci) worries about a computer virus infecting the hospital computers, Dr. Amanda Livingston (Victoria Rowell) worries about the death of a young Rugby playing intern who died after a motorcycle crash, only the reason for the death wasn’t accidental. Joining in the action is …

First of all, owning the Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a feel good, science fiction, and sentimental thing for me, so watching these shows again was really wonderful.
The five-disk set have a collector’s box that they fit …

I’m not exactly sure what I was doing during the second season of Psych. But, apparently there were quite a few episodes that season that I missed because I was seeing them for the first time during a marathon on Saturday.
One of them, Gus’ Dad May have Killed and …

I have to say, as much as I love Robin Williams the comedian, he definitely has the ability to play villains so sinister you’ll want to see him more of those roles.
Last night’s Law & Order: SVU episode (entitled Authority) is the perfect example. Williams plays a man who …

Meet the medical Baywatch, which is what Diagnosis Murder: Sea No Evil is. A swimmer goes out for a morning swim after smiling at a man she assumes is the lifeguard. Then she cramps up and he does all the right moves as he swims out to …

The Horton family has been the core of the Days of our Lives soap opera for decades. At the heart of the family are Tom and Alice Horton. Tom was played by MacDonald Carey , who passed away in 1994. His pictures and character name have …

The first episode from season 10, M*A*S*H: That’s Show Biz, is a very pleasant and fun show to watch. It’s more focused on a positive tone, and it’s a great way to start off a new year of shows, especially since season nine ended with somewhat of a …

M*A*S*H: Heroes is unusually intriguing. I didn’t remember seeing this one originally, though I know I did, but my reason for mentioning that is that I had assumed the story was going to have a certain plot that never came to fruition. Instead, I was surprised by …

Monk is a show on the USA network. It’s about a private detective that’s been put on leave from the local police department when he had a psychological break down after the death of his wife. Mr. Monk is an excellent detective and although he’s no longer part of …

Leslie Nielsen guest stars in M*A*S*H: The Ringbanger as Colonel Buzz Brighton. He’s been wounded, though his injuries aren’t that severe. Hot Lips Houlihan (Loretta Swit) recognizes him immediately from an article in Stars and Stripes and is thoroughly impressed. As for Hawkeye (Alan Alda) and …

John Doe is a very good show that unfortunately had just one season back at 2002-2003. It is about a man who has no memory of his past but oddly knows everything else, he knows all the information about any possible argument, during the show different people call him …

This episode pits the two agents against a homicidal pyrokinetic. It’s pretty straight forward, a trait which acts in the episode’s favor, but also to its detriment as well. While the fact that it’s a regular monster of the week isn’t negative in and of itself, the …

I never tire of this television show, season after season. In my opinion, it is the best show on television, and a welcome relief from the deluge of mindless reality television shows which assume the viewers have low intelligence and a high tolerance for monotony. Hugh Laurie’s portrayal of …

Underwater Shrine. episode 23 from the second season of Sea Hunt, had deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson in the ocean waters with a pair of archaeologists who happen to be married.
Lloyd Bridges plays the skilled diver, Mike Nelson, with Anthony George guest starring as Peter Ordway with Norma …

I’ve seen just about every Super Bowl Half Time show over the past decade; even when didn’t watch the game. But, last night’s performance by Tom Petty was one of the most boring performances I’ve seen in a long while.
I understand how the NFL is now afraid of any …

The X-Men all blame themselves, or in the case of …

The Jerry Springer Show is one type of a reality show about every day people and their lives. They seem to cater to the lowest scum of our society which are normally the trailer park trash. I guess they have a large following because they have been on the …

So how did this award-winning tv show start? Well Dexter, in my opinion, is a very distinctive tv show from all the others. It is not a simple crimishow. The whole idea of Dexter, as shown in season 1, is to portray the crime scene from Dexter´s point of …

Dead Like Me: Reaping Havoc was actually an interesting episode from the first season of this science fiction series which aired on Showtime. The main thrust of the story surrounds George’s decision that maybe it’s time to make some friends, a concept that is foreign to her as …

My favorite part of Hawaii Five-O: Pray Love Remember, Pray Love Remember is about a third of the way in when McGarrett has a conversation with a young girl named Mioshi. McGarrett’s been investigating a murder at an educational institute and is still searching for clues. While …
