From the first time I laid my eyes on a South Park episode I was instantly hooked! Seven years later I am sure not to miss a single episode of the latest season, season 12, and cannot help but wonder just how these guys keep coughing up their creative …

Have Gun - Will Travel was a western series that I watched a lot as a child. I think I liked it better back then, but still, I’ve been enjoying catching the reruns on TV these days. The show being reviewed here is called The Piano. …

I ended up coming home yesterday to my daughter watching Dora the Explorer on TV (thank you Direct TV for all those kids’ channels). As I sat down relaxing, I ended up watching one episode with her “Rapido Tico.”
This episode was basically dedicated to their friend Tico the squirrel, …

I’ve never been able to get into the television show “Drake & Josh.” However, whenever they have made a TV movie, I’ve found it to be entertaining.
Their lastest movie, Really Big Shrimp, is the same way. From what I can tell, it’s meant to put closure to the series…showing …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Misguided Father is a bit of a different episode; certainly, it began in a fashion that wasn’t the norm. It begins with Paladin (Richard Boone) discovering a friend of his dead. As a friend, he decides to take the body back …

Earlier this year, I was gifted with The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set, which contains all 65 episodes of the science fiction series on 5 DVDs. I’ve just finished reviewing the episodes, so now it’s time to take a look at the DVD set itself.
There are plenty of highs …

Columbo: The Complete Third Season DVD set reminds me of diminishing returns. When Universal Studios released season one, it was awesome. The artwork on the DVDs was terrific and the set up of the set was superb. There weren’t any extras, but the show was there …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter is written by Gene Roddenberry in his pre-Star Trek days. I have to give the show credit here, too, because it brought back characters regularly for follow ups; at least, that’s what has been happening in the first …

Monster Episode 7 begins with Dr. Tenma and Nina heading frantically back to her parents’ place, hoping to stop Johan from murdering her adoptive parents. They arrive too late and the police arrive and ask them to come to the police station for questioning.

In the last few years, the world’s most famous fictional consulting detective has been receiving a good deal of much deserved attention. There were the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ movies with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Then, there were the television series ‘Sherlock’ with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. …

I think Dancing with the Stars with the stars is an OK show. I can watch it but not all the the time. As you can guess by the title of the show it’s about dancing. I think the dancing that goes on during Dancing with the Stars is very …

Starz is one of the premium movies that you can get. I used to have all of the movie channels and then I did away with them. When I used to have them all of them were really good. Now none of them are as good as they used …

The intro teams Batman up with the Blue Beetle, not Jaime but Ted Kord. They’re exploring some undefined hideout. The banter between the two was well done, discussing the drawbacks of various gadgets and how no one appreciates the brains behind it all.
The episode opens …

Sea Hunt: Counterfeit, from February 1960, began with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) relaxing on vacation in the Bahamas. I did chuckle on the narration when he mentioned that his chosen activity while on vacation was skin diving, which is, of course, his occupation.
The thing about Nelson’s …

The standout story in Adam-12: Day Watch features George Murdock as the owner of a service station whose been robbed. He’s the prejudiced type with a quick temper. It’s actually an interesting case study of how anger makes a situation worse. It’s Murdock’s own stupidity that …

Some day ago I saw a weekly TV show in the channel STAR ONE, named THE GREAT INDIAN LAUGHTER CHALLENGE. It’s the best comedy show I’ve ever seen in the history of Indian television. SEKHAR SUMAN, the most popular Indian TV star and the former cricketer SIDHU, the …

Abbey & Janice: Beauty and the Best was a one-off series shown in 2008 on Living TV and I have just watched the whole series on BT Vision. The attraction for me was that the —˜Janice’ of the title is the self-proclaimed —˜world’s first supermodel’ Janice Dickinson who, …

Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 1 is another one of those shows that I have a lot of conflicting feelings about. In fact, that’s the case with all of the remaining season eight episodes. It’s a storyline that I don’t believe in and didn’t enjoy, although there are …

Top Chef: Just Desserts: Dessert Wars was a fairly decent episode of this Bravo reality competition series that pits a variety of pastry chefs against one another. Hosted by Gail Simmons, it has proven to be an emotional season. Below are a few highs and lows from …

I have a strange and most likely unhealthy fascination with this show. The scenery is definitely part of it (Hawaii is beautiful, and an interesting locale for this sort of show). But it is Dog and his family that make the show so unusual and unique.
Dog is …

Episode 2 of season 6 of Dexter ” Once Upon a Time” is another great episode of Dexter. The new season of Dexter has taken our friendly neighborhood serial killer on a different path than the previous ones. No longer stumbling around and trying to figure out the intricacies …

The most I had heard about Criss Angel is that he was a paramour of Cameron Diaz’. But other than that, I had no idea who he was. Since his little romance with her dissolved (after about two minutes) I had the opportunity to catch …

Watching The Next Food Network Star finale tonight was interesting, and I should have known better than to have fallen for their slick editing job. I’ll explain what I mean about that shortly.
The three finalists were Herb, Aartie, and Tom. I like all three, but my clear …

It’s official, I absolutely love the second season. Season 2 of “The Two Coreys” is to Season 1 what “The Godfather, Part II” is to “The Godfather”. The title of this episode, “Intervention”, is exactly what it’s about. This one delves deep into Corey Haim who finds himself in …

All season, this show has teased at reaching the level of the early seasons of the show. Almost every time that happened, a sub par episode followed, so I don’t want to get my hopes up yet, but I found this episode highly enjoyable.
It had the perfect balance …

We’re back with the United States Coast Guard Sea Hunt’s 10th show of season three, Expatriate’s Return. From March 1960, the show has our resident diving guru, Mike Nelson, dealing with another crime boss who is trying to get back into the country.

From season three, the 25th episode of the year called Log 88 - Reason to Run is one of my all time favorites for this police drama.
Officer Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) drop by a riding school run by Slim Berkeley. One of …

The seventh episode is a season highlight and is quite amusing in many ways. Haim basically corners Feldman into a place that he doesn’t want to be and Feldman has no choice but to go along with it or else he’s royally screwed - and it would all be …

Billy Blackburn’s Treasure Chest Rare Home Movies and Special Memories Part 2 was released as part of the second season DVD release. It continued a feature begun on the first season set that looked at the home movies Billy Blackburn took. While Blackburn’s name may not be …

Star Trek: Voyager - “Fury” is an episode that excels in special effects, but not so much in story. In this episode, Kes returns, after being gone for over three years. She returns and attacks Voyager in what plays out in as some of Star Trek’s best special effects. …

I’m home early today and I’m watching an episode of Green Acres “Parity Begins at Home.”
This is one of those episodes that focuses on Mr.Douglas’ efforts to make changes in his farming community, whether or not they are right or wrong. In this case, he wants to plant his …

Naruto is finally releasing the power of the nine tails and with chakra swirling all around him and taking on a life of its own this should be an awesome, action packed episode. Or so one would think if one wanted to be wrong. All of Haku’s attacks are …

My daughter wanted to watch Scooby Doo yesterday evening after school. Fortunately for her, I was able to find an old episode of The New Scooby Doo Movies on one of our channels. This one also happened to be one I hadn’t seen before, The Ghost of the Red …

I ended up watching the later showing of Ghost Hunters last night (so I could watch SVU on a different channel at 8) and I was concerned I was losing sleep over yet another case that wasn’t going to offer too much in terms of evidence.
Fortunately for me, I …

Rescue Me with Dennis Leary.
Dennis Leary did stand up comedy, I think, as a persona of the pessimistic character that is just an ugly drunk. Doing a series full of negative speaking characters is definitely a viewer’s nightmare.
The Show starts off with …

WOW! This tv series is WOW! Have you seen this? If you haven’t, you should! I’ve watched this series on dvds, I borrowed my aunt’s dvds, she has like every season of them. I never watched them on tv, since I really don’t have …

I thought this particular episode had a very strange and interesting plot. This is why I think I would name this as one of my favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties American television show “The X-Files”. It was written well also, and I thought it played on the …

Well, that was a cute episode of That 70s Show; Won’t be Fooled Again.
There are two story lines that were worth following in this one. First, Donna forgets to take one of her birth control pills and, before too long, everyone learns there’s a chance she might be pregnant, …

The Twilight Zone: Queen of the Nile is one of the few shows from season five that I enjoy. The main reason for that is the incredible Ann Blyth, who I’ve admired since my childhood. She’s a classic beauty and a talented actress whose career began when …

I saw the infomercial for an exercise video called “Hip Hop Abs.” While the concept is really neat, I found this commercial, and the entire routines really corny. Sean T. is some fitness guy who instructs people on how to flatten their abs with some …
