Laramie: The Passing of Kuba Smith aired in this terrific series’ second season. It’s an intriguing hour that guest stars John McIntire, who would later appear with series star Robert Fuller in Wagon Train. For now, though, McIntire was the crafty and clever outlaw, Kuba Smith, with …

As one of the earlier episodes of Family Guy, “Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater” is among the more funny ones. It has a decent build up, and while the plot is not as out there as later episodes, its decent writing saves the day.

Friends Episode: The One When Ross Moves In is one of the not so bad episodes in Friends. Ross can be quite irritating when he wants to and that sort of disgust Joey and Chandler. Therefore, Ross knowing that he is irritating and getting on the nerves of …

Last night was the season premiere of Law & Order SVU and it was a bit better than expected; though you can only have so many cases involving rape before you start feeling like you’ve watched the show before.
This one had an unstable cop discovering a rape victim and, …

My son loves to watch this show on Disney Channel, Jojo’s Circus. It’s really a nice show. I guess my son likes it because the show’s full of circus personalities and animals as well. There’s Jojo, Goliath, Skeebo and the rest of the gang. I usually watch it with …

Well, actually, the title is a misnomer, and I’m not sure that I agree with the decision for the One of Six Voted Off episode of So You Think You Can Dance.
The five dancing competitors opened the show with an entertaining, Bob Fosse number. I liked this routine, …

This is by far the best comedy series ever, in my opinion, and from the first episode I saw of it, I just could not get enough.
I was fortunate enough to catch most of the episodes, right up to the last episode of the penultimate season, and such is …

This was the first of many alternate reality shows that Stargate SG1 would do. It is also one of my favorite episodes from Season One. Maybe it’s because this episode is Daniel-centric or maybe it’s because it was very well written and fun to watch.
Daniel and the …

The last few House episodes have been kind of sucky considering Wilson has been AWOL from the show following his falling out with House. So, it was great to see an episode “Birthmarks” that finally brings him back.
In a way, this was a bit of a depressing episode because …

“Drive”, the season seven episode of “Star Trek: Voyager”, is Star Trek’s one and only “space race” themed episode to date, and unfortunately, it is neither exciting or intense - two qualities that I associate with racing. Granted, it is difficult to do a race in space that is …

I ended up watching an A-Team marathon this past weekend and one of the episodes was entitled Waiting for Insane Wayne.

The second episode of the CSI Las Vegas season 9 was a bit of disappointing for me because just after the episode 1 where Warrick was confirmed dead, they no longer have shown anything relating to his death. I was hoping they would somehow be able to show some …

I remember watching David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet and it was during those glamor days surrounding the hype of the movie Titanic. It was such a very good episode and Kate is such a good talker.
I love watching her on talk shows and interviews …

This episode of the X-Files was also one of my most memorable episodes. I found it to be a little confusing at one point and I didn’t think it was a work of genius either, but I believe that it was still quite enjoyable. In fact, I think …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Boys! Raise Giant Mushrooms in Your Cellar! which aired in November 1989 must be Bradbury’s answer to every B-movie science fiction plot about Earth being taken over by space invaders, especially things like The Blob.
The story starts innocently enough with a boy named Tom …

The Virginian: 50 Days to Moose Jaw guest starred James Gregory as Slim Jessup. Gregory is a very talented actor and you never know if he’s going to be a good guy, bad guy, crazy guy, or just funny guy. That’s how good he is. You …

From February 1957, Highway Patrol: Statute of Limitations, starring Broderick Crawford as California Highway Patrol Chief Dan Mathews, is just a so so episode that did very little to capture my interest for more than a few seconds at a time.
The story begins by talking about speeding, which is …

I haven’t seen the show Bones since Zack turned out to be a killer and no longer appears on the series. So, last night, while watching the newest episode “The Man in the Outhouse” I had to do some catching up.
Overall, this wasn’t a bad episode; though I have …

Home and Away is a great television show for all ages, however I would say it is mainly targeted at teenagers as most of the characters on the show are teenagers. I have watched this show for 13 years now, I first started when I was 16 years old. …

From September 1958, Sea Hunt: The Sea Has Ears begins with the death or rather, the murder of a diver checking a phone cable. This opening bit uses narration that is frequent in this show, where Mike Nelson, a deep sea diving expert, proclaims. “I didn’t know I’d …

This review is focusing solely on the programming offered by Comcast Cable in the Northern California region and particularly in Sacramento.

Inappropriate Moments- I don’t usually watch all the celebrity blooper and paparazzi shows that come on VH1. But when I was flipping channels, I found this one extremely hilarious. The announcer and the participants have rounded up clips of paparazzi footage that shows the celebrities …

The Rachel Zoe Project: Changes in the Zoe Camp was the season 3 premier for this cable reality show that follows the activities of stylist Rachel Zoe. For me, Zoe is too self-involved. She gets orgasmic over fur, Chenille, and almost any fashion designer who will let …
