Believe it or not, even tennis guru Bobby Riggs was worthy to be the Man of the Week on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. It’s amazing who they honored, and that’s not always good. Martin had a few good opener zingers, including some about the big Billie …

After watching the last season two episode “Crescent Hills & Dr. Ellis” I was half expecting a big let down from the episode that followed it on the DVD “Waverly Hills.”
But, I will say, despite that anticipation, I wasn’t disappointed.
This episode brought the TAPS team to a run down …

The Ninja Warrior competition takes place in Japan, where one hundred would-be ninjas (average, everyday people, in fact) arrive at Mt. Midoriyama to compete for the title. Japanese viewers have been tuning in to these taped specials for a decade now.
Here in the United States, we have a slightly-altered …

I’m not sure if it’s a show I would watch all the time. But, I have to admit the series Mythbusters does have some entertaining moments on it.
The great thing about the show is it uses scientific methods to prove or disprove myths relating to everything from a cigarette …

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 …

Now this season two episode of MacGyer, called Partners, is a good one and one worth watching repeatedly. It’s been seven years to the day that MacGyver and Pete Thornton met. Mac’s friend, Jack Dalton, is in the hospital, and Mac is helping him out by driving …

For fans of Adam-12 who track the show and its continuity, season three’s Elegy for a Pig is a challenge. It’s presented documentary style and in a completely different tone than the usual half-hour episode. In reality, this show is a standalone episode. Think of it as …

Airing in February 1960, Sea Hunt: Cobalt Bomb, a third season story, had Mike Nelson, our ace diving expert, once again working in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. I suppose the reason for this was to give Nelson a chance to work in other areas, or come up with …

The Apprentice is a TV show that is hosted by Donald Trump where he picks 18 people to compete in competitions to try to become his next apprentice. They started as two teams, Arrow and Kinetic. Then over thirteen weeks he fired 14 of these perspective candidates to …

I had seen the television series of Transformers. I liked the series very much. When a movie was released of the same kind, I was overjoyed and expected it to be way better than the series. And it was exactly that way.
The movie revolves around the life of Sam …

This season seven entry of Stargate SG-1 doesn’t really excite me that much. Avenger 2.0 brings back the geek from season six’s The Other Guys. As played by Patrick McKenna, Felger means well, but he’s essentially a fumbling geek with a big crush on Sam.
The negatives on this …

The final episode of the sixth season, M*A*S*H: Major Topper, is pretty good. What I like about it is how it shows off the power of the mind. Most people just don’t realize how much the human mind can do. It’s capable of far more than …

I have been a customer of Comcast Cable off and on for roughly the last 7 years or so, dependent upon what deals they are currently offering. In the past, I have had no real complaints with the service other than the fact that their rates tended to …

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 …

Summer is not my favorite time when in comes to TV shows. The writers seem to be on vacation too, and the shows are not as interesting as those that start during the fall season. Take this series about a divorced father who works as a teacher during the …

Did you guys manage to watch Felicity Huffman on Ellen for this year 2009 interview? I did and it was a good one and funny too. Both Ellen and Felicity are very funny people and they are both witty and charming. Felicity is one of the best …

Stephen J. Cannell is the power behind the 1980 series, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe. For whatever reason, he decided to make the titles extremely colorful and long, as in real long, much of the time. In this seventh episode, I think he outdid himself. The title …

The Carol Burnett Show which included guest stars Eydie Gorme and Chuck Barris aired in its tenth season. The show opened with a Mrs. Wiggens skit. She was the blonde with the rear end that stuck out and was a secretary to Mr. Tudball, who was brilliantly …

Inside Edition is like picking up an issue of The National Enquirer at the supermarket or some other tabloid. It is purely tabloid TV. Anyone who thinks they have an alien baby, has seen a flying saucer, or dog can speak Chinese will be on this show. Despite the …

Wagon Train: The Zebedee Titus Story is a somewhat humorous tale that guest stars Neville Brand in the title role. He’s one of the old mountain men who’s aged but not yet ready to admit it. He has a hard time seeing far away, and he’s just …

Highway Patrol: Hot Rod, the seventh episode of season two, focused on two brothers, Tommy and Harry Burke, who commit a robbery and then make their getaway in a hot rod that they believe is faster than any police car out there. Naturally, the driver goes too fast …

Wow, that had to be the most predictable Project Runway finale ever. Arina entered it as the obvious favorite and, no surprise, she ended up winning it.
Of course, I have to say, compared to other seasons, this finale was a bit weak. Carol Hannah had a bit of an …

Except for a re-editing of the series pilot as a two-part story that followed this show, Hawaii Five-O: The Big Kahuna is the final episode of the first season of this long-lasting crime show. It focuses on a Hawaiian legend, the goddess of fire, Pele. She is seen …

Gene Roddenberry tackles Eden yet again in Star Trek: The Apple. The series creator seems to love to show that books shouldn’t be judged by their covers and that living easy isn’t necessarily living. Man never quite finds paradise in Star Trek.
Another red shirt goes down before …

Every now and again, I spend an hour gazing at the Trya Banks Show…she ocassionally has a few interesting guests / topics…This particualr episode, she had the Kardashian sisters, Kimberly, Khloe and Kourtney….. As usual…the talk about the things that make them famous…….let’s see….dun dun dun dun dun…..Their reality …

If this week’s episode of Project Runway did anything, it was to get me interested in visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The contestants had to visit the museum in order to be inspired with their outfits. And, they were expected to take risks this week in an effort to …

M*A*S*H: Dear Dad… Three simply refers to this being the third episode where we get a full out letter from Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) to his father. These episodes are always so good to watch. They provide glimpses of life at the 4077th and allow a lot …

I’ve seen several Christmas episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer before. But, the episode “Pangs” is the first one I’ve seen that takes place at Thanksgiving. And, for the most part, it wasn’t too bad.
Of course, while I’m all for the spirit of political correctness, watching an episode about …

Of all the shows that air, weather international or local, the concept behind M.A.N is one that I could have never thought about myself and something so fresh that it became an instant hit with me, before the very first episode even aired, as I had caught glimpses of …

I grew up watching Nick at Nite. I was born in 1980.
I watched The Monkees, Get Smart, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Green Acres, and countless other shows, such as Mary Tyler Moore.
I am sorely disappointed in Nick at Nite today. Sure, Roseanne, Home Improvement and George Lopez are …

The beginning of The Fall Guy: Ready, Aim, Die is very frustrating. Mostly it’s because I just can’t stand Doug Barr’s Howie Munson character. He’s just so dumb and shallow all the time. Everything about what happens in the opening scene drives me nuts.
Now that’s heightened …

Glee: The Rocky Horror Glee Show opened with a couple of things grabbing my attention. In the opening credits, there was Meat Loaf of all people, and he was using his last name. I haven’t seen that one in a while.
Then the opening teaser with the big …

Synopsis: Al grows frustrated over the fact his boss has never visited him at work and doesn’t know he even exists so he threatens to quit if the store’s owner doesn’t show up to shake his hand within 30 days.
What I liked about this episode: I caught the very …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Last Laugh reminds me of the classic Of Mice and Men, in part because there’s a big, tall guy who clearly is IQ challenged and easily manipulated. That’s really the only connection, but it popped into my mind while watching it.
Stuart Whitman …

I am a big fan of comics and their characters and cartoon shows. Batman is a character created by DC comics and there have been so many cartoon versions of this simple superhero. One of my favourite versions is a recent one named “The Batman.” This story unfolds little …

From season one, Night Gallery: They’re Tearing Down Tim Riley’s Bar was the first of two segments and William Windom, Diane Baker, Bert Convy, and John Randolph in the principal roles.
After twenty-five years of competition and fighting in the plastics business, a lonely widower is having flashbacks to better …

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.
The first episode, The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair, proved to be …

Stargate Atlantis: First Contact is the reason I’m reviewing this fifth and final season of this science fiction series. The series itself is not a favorite at all, but I adore guest star Michael Shanks so was able to get the fifth season set of the series. …

The male ogling continues in the world of science fiction with Stargate SG-1: Crossroads. Once again, the producers tried to make this soap opera a male gaping event. This time it’s not only Tok’ra Spice who was responsible, but a Jaffa priestess as well, one who has …

William Katt burst onto the TV scene as The Greatest American Hero. Surviving that, he signed on to play Paul Drake Jr. in new Perry Mason movies, working with his mother, Barbara Hale. He left that gig to star in this political drama called Top of the …

The second of the live leaders’ debates to be held during this year’s U.K. general election campaign was, I thought, less of an interesting affair than the first one, and not only because that first debate had had the obvious advantage of being something of a novelty. This time …

There seems to be more deaths coming in this TV series and it’s getting more focused. My boyfriend is so at it and I must say that he has somehow made me curious about this TV show definitely. Harper’s Island Episode 8 sees smells of more deaths coming …

This has to be the most ignorant show on television. First of all, I cannot believe that this show even exists. But it exists all because of Flavor Flav. If he had not had that stupid show Flavor of Love, then New York would never have …

It is the final day of Science Week and Springfield Elementary. Skinner prepares to launch a weather balloon. Bart seems very excited by this, and Skinner becomes suspicious. When the balloon is far up in the sky, Bart shows his hardwork and effort. It is a mocking image of …

This second season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation - “A Matter of Honor” is an episode that is quite fun to watch, although it does have its flaws. This is the show’s second Klingon-focused episode, and like the first Klingon episode, this episode excels - at least, …

From September 1992, the cable television series The Ray Bradbury Theater presented a show called By the Numbers which starred Ray Sharkey. The action begins with a lot of military like shouting, but then transports us to a train. It’s weird right off the bat as one …

The seventeenth episode in the series, “Blue Shadow Virus”, is another genius episode for the first season. This is a territory seldom explored in the ‘Star Wars’ universe, viral and biological weapons. In this episode, a mad Nazi-like scientist operates a secret Separatist bio-weapons underground laboratory on the planet …

Black Gold is the reality series that airs on TruTV, which is what used to be Court TV. If that seems odd, I agree. However, this is the third season for this true life series that focuses on the oil well business.
I’m really not sure why I …

Ramays Best Restaurant
Having created a persona that is recognized as much for its fiery temper and his constant use of swear words as his talent for cooking fine food, it makes a nice change to see Gordon Ramsay front a t.v show like this.
Usually seen entering down trodden, under …

The opener for season three of MacGyver is a romantic and tragic-based two-parter called Lost Love. In Part 1, MacGyver keeps thinking he’s seeing Lisa Kohler, his deceased love. The two were planning on getting married when she was killed at the end of a mission. …
