The Dangerous People
My wife has never seen the show “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” so, since there was nothing else on TV last night I decided to put on a re-run of the classic series. Fortunately, there was a great episode on at the time “The Dangerous People.”
This is one of those episodes …
MASH: The Joker is Wild
I was watching some MASH re-runs and came across one of my least favorite episodes “The Joker is Wild,” just because it was kind of pointless and one of the most un-funny episodes of the show I have ever seen. And, I’ve seen almost every single episode of it …
Chief Engineer’s Log featurette
One of the DVD extras for the Star Trek series is the Chief Engineer’s Log. It’s actually a little hard to watch for me. James Doohan was such a force. He died in July 2005, and this was an interview taped a year and a half …
Matlock: The Suspect TV Show
Andy Griffith had another successful series on his hand with his Matlock series where he played Georgia lawyer, Ben Matlock. He was country and down home, but he loved a good paycheck, too. This episode is entitled The Suspect and guest starred Brynn Thayer. Brynn is …
Best Of America By Horseback
You should watch Best of America by Horseback even if you aren’t a serious trail rider. You should watch Best of America by Horseback even if you don’t own a horse. Best of America by Horseback is such a cool program that features the best places to go to …
Roseanne Season Six
I really liked season 6 of Roseanne because it was funny and it brought back some of my favorite characters. Mark and Becky came back and ended up moving in with the Conner family. A lot of people hated Sarah Chalke as Becky, but I really liked her. I …
Psych: Spellingg Bee
I’m inside today with a sick child and sick wife so I’m having a marathon of sorts by watching old Psych episodes. This included the season 1 episode “Spellingg Bee.”
This was a good episode for a couple reasons. First, I like how they introduce Lassiter’s new partner by having …
Da Vincis Demons (tv series)
During the year I found a few series I started watching, but most of them were discovered by way of the internet. I actually found out about this one when it began advertising on the cable television channel, Starz, a little before the series Spartacus was set to have …
People court
Peoples Court tv featured channel 5 fox tv is an old show. For years it was headed by Judge Wapner who was fantastic at the show and really topped the ratings. Judge Judy’s husband also headed it for awhile. Although I liked the way he …
Medium: Means and Ends TV Show
Medium: Means and Ends was not a favorite outing for this series. It seems to me that this year has been very hit and miss. The show was barely renewed for this season, and I fear this could very well be the last if things don’t pick …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Last Battle TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Last Battle, episode 17, began with Admiral Nelson (Richard Basehart) being on board a commercial airplane bound for Washington. The scene was both amusing and frustrating. For example, I chuckled at the old stewardess outfit that was so typical of …
Cold Case Files
I was home yesterday afternoon and was flipping channels on TV since it was too cold outside to do anything.
One of the shows I ended up coming across was Cold Case Files. At first, I thought I would be a lot like the series Cold Case; in other words, …
Star Trek: Requiem for Methuselah TV Show
Star Trek: Requiem for Methuselah had the Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beaming down to what they believed was a world without anyone living on it. They needed a substance available on the surface that would fight Rigelian fever, a deadly illness that was spreading through the crew. …
M.A.N Reality Dating Television Show
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 …
MASH: War of Nerves
I was flipping channels this morning before work and came across one of my favorite MASH episodes; “War of Nerves.”
This episode features Sidney Freeman, one of my favorite minor characters, as he ends up at the 4077th with a head injury. While there, he is asked to give therapy …
Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun (Anime)
Unpredictable, humorous, and creatively natural; this is the most underrated anime ever as it may come off a bit like a teen romantic series. But it really is a comedic delight. Usually my preferences for anime’s are a bit more on the teenage and romantic stories and at first glance …
Stargate SG1: Homecoming
This episode takes up where “Fallen” ended. Jonas is a prisoner of Anubis, Daniel is crawling around the ship, trying to find Jonas and free him before he becomes visible to the sensors again, Jack and Sam have destroyed the weapon and are arriving home and Teal’c is …
Highway Patrol: Hostage Officer TV Show
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 …
Stargate SG-1 season 1 episode 2: The Enemy Within
In this episode, it turns out that a Goa’uld parasite got into an Air Force character while they were escaping from Apophis in the previous episode, Children of the Gods. The parasite starts taking control of this character, who’s named Kawalsky. The rest of Stargate Command, including …
The Fall Guy: The Human Torch TV Show
One thing about The Fall Guy, it has an old school opening that you just don’t see much anymore. The full theme plus standard intro in this first season lasts almost three minutes. In this era of 10 second, title only spots, this feels like forever. …
Jeremiah: And the Ground, Sown with Salt
Jason Priestley guest stars in Jeremiah: And the Ground, Sown with Salt, a show that stars Luke Perry. These two actors were quite the rage back in the days of Beverly Hills 90210, a series I never cared for. I’ve been surprised by Perry in this science …
The Apprentice UK - Episode 4
The fourth episode of The Apprentice UK was all about selling, and what a venue the two teams had. Impact and First Forte were each given locations inside the famed Harrod’s Store. The locations were deemed the same in potential for attracting customers. Staff were allowed …

The Carrie Diaries [Season 1 - Episode 1]
This is a series that I was entirely skeptical about but after a few youtube videos that I have come across randomly I decided to give it a try. Now, from just the pilot, I can not tell you for sure if I have liked it or not, …
The Wendy Williams Show: Carrie Ann Inaba September 2010 TV Show
I really haven’t watched The Wendy Williams Show from start to finish before catching this September 2010 episode of the talk show. What has often happened is that I’ve seen the last few minutes when changing the channel to tune into the beginning of another show. I …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Guitar Player Returns TV Show
Guitarist Jim Lindsey returns to Mayberry in this May 1961 outing, The Andy Griffith Show: The Guitar Player Returns. Just like the first show earlier in the year that centered on this character, I’m not a big fan of this episode. It’s okay, and it’s ten times …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Wake the Dead
“Wake the Dead” is the 11th episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. It features a powered up version of Solomon Grundy against the Green Lantern, Superman, Hawkgirl, Dr. Fate, Aquaman, and Lynx. Typically this would be an uneven fight, but Grundy had been powered up by …
Andy Griffith Show Episode: A Trip to Mexico
I don’t normally watch the Andy Griffith Show. It was OK when I was younger but the re-runs tend to annoy me now more than anything.
However, there wasn’t much else on at lunch today and my daughter was napping so I couldn’t play with her so I ended up …

Naruto has quickly become one of the most popular anime series both in America and in Japan, although the dubbing of the series into English resulted in the show being geared towards a younger audience in America, unlike the real audience that the show was originally made for in …
Highway Patrol: Plant Robbery TV Show
Highway Patrol: Plant Robbery is not a story I like to watch really. By happenstance, I’ve seen it a couple of times, and neither viewing was all that pleasurable, simply because there’s no one in the story I like. In other words, none of the characters really …
Smallville : Requiem
A lot happened in this episode of Smallville, and some of it will be good for the show, but I don’t know that I cared much for it as a singular episode. In this episode Lana and Clark have gotten together and are destroying beds. Lana has superpowers …
Ghost Hunters Academy Season 2 Finale
Well, I have to say this about Ghost Hunters Academy; they really don’t have a whole lot of episodes. The show just came on the air not that long ago and they had the season finale last night.
The finale itself wasn’t too bad, the remaining three cadets got to …
Sea Hunt: The Stunt TV Show

I Love Lucy (TV series) - The Diet (Episode)
“The Diet” is an episode of “I Love Lucy”. Like some episodes of “I Love Lucy”, the episode itself is extremely enjoyable, but unfortunately, the writers do something that contradicts either something that happened earlier or later in the series. It kind of takes away some of the realism …
Brooke Knows Best (VH1 network TV show)
There are just too many reality shows on the air these days. This show is a spin-off so to speak of the other reality show, “Hogan Knows Best.” I didn’t watch that show because I had no desire to. But after hearing about all the …

The Simpsons: Lost our Lisa
One of my favorite Simpsons episodes was on television earlier today (or, actually, yesterday since I’m writing this in the wee hours of Saturday morning);Lost our Lisa. It is a cute episode for a variety of reasons.
For one, you have a funny situation where Bart goes to a joke …
The Fall Guy: The Fall Guy TV Show
I watched The Fall Guy regularly when it aired. I loved it, though I held no illusions that it was fantastic. It was never Emmy winning material, but it was highly entertaining, and it had some great guest stars. Lee Majors was one of the producers …

Outlaw: In Re: Jessica Davis TV Show
The first thing that I didn’t like about Outlaw: In Re: Jessica Davis is that it did not give us a resolve about last week’s episode. Well, I guess you can say it did simply by the fact that the two partners were still working together, but it …
