The Twilight Zone: Time Enough at Last TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Time Enough at Last is one of the best, if not the best, episode of the entire series. It’s superbly acted, is an enticing tale, is full of irony, and it just keeps your heart pounding as you watch.
Here are a few ups and downs …
ABC Family’s “Huge” pilot episode
ABC Family has apparently had enough success with its “Secret Life of an American Teenager” to decide to follow that with another lifetime-movie like series, this time centred not around the issue of teenage pregnancy, but that of teenage obesity. Curiosity made me view the pilot and the most …
Ghost Hunters: Two Brothers & Willard Library
We watched another Season 2 episode of Ghost Hunters last night and, once again, were very disappointed in it.
The episode, Two Brothers & Wllard Library, seemed like it would have potential but, once again, we were left with a few personal experiences and not much else.
The closest paranormal thing …
Bones: The Santa in the Slush
For no other reason than me wanting something to watch until Ghost Hunters came on, I decided to watch another rerun of the show Bones. This time, it happened to be one I have seen a couple of times before; The Santa in the Slush.

The Office TV show
Some sitcoms get their humor from doing the unexpected. Some get their humor because they’re so true to life. The Office is actually both.
I absolutely love The Office, partly because it’s so realistic. I mean, I’ve really worked with people like this — well, almost like this, anyway. The …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit: “Stocks and Bondage” Episode
I actually started watching the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Stocks and Bondage” fifteen minutes into it so unfortunately I did not get to see the introduction to find out what happened. However, thankfully one does not have to see the very first part in order to …

Gilligain’s Islnad - Feed the Kitty TV Show
Here we go with Gilligan and his affinity towards all living things. This quality in Gilligan says a lot about his character, and his respect for life. I really like this episode even if his feelings towards the king of the beast introduce a danger element to everyone or …
M*A*S*H: What’s Up, Doc?
M*A*S*H: What’s Up, Doc? is remembered most for me because of the threat to one of Radar O’Reilly’s pet bunnies. Hawkeye and Margaret want to conduct a pregnancy test, and at first, they don’t care that doing that test would result in the death of Radar’s Fluffy.
The thing …

Stargate SG-1: The Devil You Know
The Devil You Know, from season 3 of Stargate SG-1, concludes the events begun in the prior episode, entitled Jolinar’s Memories. For me, this second part is so much more exciting to watch.

Home and Away Tv show

M*A*S*H: Requiem for a Lightweight is the third episode of this landmark TV series about the Korean War. Starring Alan Alda and Wayne Rogers, the show focuses on their characters of Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John McIntyre. It’s all a lot of craziness and jocularity, while also …

The Twilight Zone: The Mind and the Matter TV Show

Black Gold: S3, Ep 5 TV Show
Freddy Moore is on a rampage. He’s the tool pusher, or supervisor of the evening shift that actually starts at 2 p.m. He’s out for a promotion, so he’s having the crew complete a lengthy ‘to do’ list. Freddy’s just not my cup of tea. …

Adam-12: Extortion
The fourth season of Adam-12 got under way on September 15, 1971 with an episode called Extortion. It’s a good start for the police drama which starred Martin Milner and Kent McCord.
What I love about it first of all is that it starts out with the banter that …
Family Feud
I haven’t seen the game show Family Feud in ages so, when I watched it last night, I wasn’t sure if I was watching a brand new episode or a repeat.
In any case, it turned out to be an entertaining way to spend a half hour.
The game itself was …
M*A*S*H: I Hate a Mystery
While M*A*S*H: I Hate a Mystery has some very nice elements to it, I also feel like it has some flaws as well that detract from the show as a whole.
What happens in this first season episode is that belongings begin to disappear, beginning with a silver picture …
Sea Hunt: Water Nymphs TV Show

The Virginian: A Bride for Lars TV show
The Virginian: A Bride for Lars had a lot of good things going for this western outing, but it as fun as some moments were, there was a lot of just plain stupid, mainly in how the character of Trampas (Doug McClure) acted.
The basic setup for the 90 minutes …

Diagnosis Murder: Shaker TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Shaker gives us a natural disaster — an earthquake. In spite of the title and event, the focus isn’t really on the earthquake and its aftermath. In fact, I’d call the quake more of a supporting player than anything else.
During the earthquake, Dick Van Dyke’s …
Sleepy Hollow TV show, Season 1 Recall
When I read about a new supernatural procedural show through the writers mailinglist, my initial thought was, it was probably something along the vein of the TV show “Dresden” but broader in scope since Dresden was a wizard interacting with the police department. I thought maybe a private investigator with …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Park TV Show
Underwater Park was an episode presented towards the end of Sea Hunt’s second season in 1959.

That Girl: Sock It to Me

Our New Girl Bro
JD’s gone for good. Interestingly enough, Elliot decides to come in and make an appearance. I’ve noticed that the writing for the returning cast is still pretty spot on, but it’s the new characters who kind of drag it down.
