You know, it’s been years since I’ve seen the actual movie It’s a Wonderful Life. But, I haven’t had any desire to watch it again because of all the shows that feel the need to do their own take on that film.
I ended up watching another one yesterday afternoon …

I’ve been watching Criminal Minds from the beginning, but I find that I am agreeing more and more with Mandy Patinkin who starred in this series originally and then left the show because it was too dark and upsetting. Sometimes I only half watch the shows which are …

In M*A*S*H: Hepatitis, Father Mulcahy (William Christopher) comes down with a case of hepatitis, meaning that Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) has to test everyone at the 4077th to see if anyone else has the disease. The episode was written by Alan Alda, which usually means that there’s going …

This particular show, Sonar Story, the tenth outing of the adventure series’ fourth season, felt very slow and dull to me. So much of it was underwater, but it wasn’t showing sea life or some natural phenomenon of the ocean; rather, it was Mike Nelson tracking down heroin …

This is by far one of the creepiest X-Files episodes I have ever watched. The thing is I don’t remember watching this one as a child in the 90s, but what I do remember is watching it recently and feeling a bit disturbed during the episode and when it …

Nick at night TV land awards is one show they certainly could do without. Not really without but rewritten instead of having the most stupid categories for classic television. Categories such as Best Braces or Best superhero are so ridiculous. These categories do not uphold the integrity of …

Stargate SG-1: Rite of Passage from the fifth season brings back the character of Cassandra, the alien child from season one’s Singularity, who was adopted by Doctor Janet Fraiser. While I love seeing Cassandra in a new episode, the original actress was unavailable and they chose to recast …

Project Runway: A Look in the Line had an element that I’ve missed since the cancellation of Models of the Runway. On that show, the designers always picked their models for the next week and much of the time, they were told they had to pick new ones. …

Bruce McGill might as well have been added to the opening credits of MacGyver in the third season. He was on the show all the time, including this entry called Rock the Cradle. This time, Jack has roped Mac into helping with Dalton Air. That doesn’t …

This episode was certainly a drastic shift from others that had come before it. While humor would occasionally spring its head in the form of some deadpan quipping or a funny comment from Frohike, we never really saw it manifest itself to this extent. Even more impressive …

British comedienne Daisy Donovan brings us a sometimes insightful, often bizarre, but always charming insight into numerous sub-cultures and conclaves of society.
If you’ve seen her on the 11 O’Clock Show or anything of the kind, you’ll be familiar with her comedic ways. She’s as sweet as pie on the …

Underwater Park was an episode presented towards the end of Sea Hunt’s second season in 1959.
I really enjoyed the opening segment of Underwater Park because of the underwater footage. We have our show hero, Mike Nelson, ace deep sea diver, taking pictures as he comes in, through, and …

I watch daytime talk shows from time to time. I can not believe some of the topics that are discussed and that people really go on television to do it! My personal opinion is that these people must be paid well to go on these shows. …

I started watching this show a while back. At first I didn’t really like it but the more I watched I started to really enjoy it. Now it’s a show I watch all the time. I just wish they would come out with a new season. It’s pretty funny. …

King of Queens is only shown in reruns now and I’m thankful that it is. I was working too much during the original run of the series to get to watch it all but now I watch it faithfully Monday through Friday at 5 and 5:30pm and at 7 …

The Andy Griffith Show: Guest of Honor isn’t one of my favorites. I love this series greatly, but even when funny, not every show is one that I adore. This second season entry has Mayberry celebrating Founders’ Day by randomly selecting a passerby to be their Guest …

Diagnosis Murder: Mind Over Murder opens with a psychic television show that has one of them suddenly bursting out of her seat and landing in the hospital. Meanwhile at the hospital, Norman (Michael Tucci) is back, showing off pictures of his trip. The pictures aren’t the things …

A rich, greedy old man wants to make sure that his fortune stays with him. As such, he constructs a device that opens a doorway between our world and the spirit world and allows him to transport physical matter from one side to the other. Not surprisingly, …

I never saw any of these Rock of Love with Bret Michaels episodes from the previous seasons. But it is my understanding that this will be the final Rock of Love. My question is, why wouldn’t it be the last one? If he’s planning on …

Mary Morris plays Matilda in The Ray Bradbury Theater: There Was an Old Woman. She has a visitor who just sits there and listens as she talks and talks, telling him some story about a little girl named Emily. As I listened, I wonder if this was …

Devoted to those of the 30’s and 40’s and filmed in 2006, Private Screenings: Child Stars was a wonderful discussion about a long ago era. Hosted by Robert Osbourne, this Turner Classic Movies’ special featured our guests — Margaret O’Brien, Jane Withers, Dickie Moore, and Darryl Hickman.
This discussion …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast roasted the Woman of the Hour, Angie Dickinson, in this show taped in front of an audience in Las Vegas. Dickinson had one of the better dais groupings of the show. She looked beautiful, of course. She truly has been a …

Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror is terrific. It’s a more in depth look at parallel universes, something that was more lightly delved into during the first season of this series. What makes this so much fun is the interpretation of the characters. This isn’t just parallel, it’s like …

Talk about poorly placed timing, the powers that be at Stargate SG-1 made a very bad choice. My understanding is that the episode called Past and Present was supposed to be either earlier or later in the season. After being tossed around the season schedule, it had …

Well, I have to admit, last night’s episode of Family Guy, “Long John Peter” was pretty dang funny.
The episode starts out with Peter wanting to be a pirate after getting a pet parrot and ultimately getting the parrot killed. While at the Vet, Chris falls for the assistant and, …

A couple days ago I wrote a review about an episode where Stewie travels to California to meet a man he believed to be his real father. He gets there and discovers the man is really him from the future.
The episode they showed last night “Stu & Stewie’s Excellent …

Hawaii Five-O: Not That Much Different focuses on student protestors who confront a foreign official. The man decides to address the protestors and when shots ring out, one of the protestors is killed. At first, the assumption is that the shot was meant for the foreign representative, …

This has got to be one of the best switches I have seen on “House” so far. The story involves a supermodel who punches out another model and then collapses on the catwalk. They discover heroin in her blood and so at first they assume it is that, and …

Blue’s Clues is a tv show on Nick Jr. It is very engaging for young minds, and teaches many things. The characters are all brought to life in a way that reaches out to the minds of young children and captures their attention and developes their imagination. …

Hits 1 TV Show is something like the local TV show, ‘Vidz’, which is non-existent no more. Hits 1 TV show program is still around and the host is one guy which I don’t know the name and the lady host is Amy Search’s daughter, Nabila. I think …

While looking for food, the group comes across another Earthbender. It’s funny how this chapter is called “Water” and, Katara notwithstanding, we haven’t really seen any water benders. We’ve seen more of the fire and earth benders, but I’m sure we’ll see them in time.
When they greet …

I’m a bit torn about tonight’s Monk episode “Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy.”
On one hand, the episode proved to be somewhat funny. Monk is no longer receiving insurance reimbursement for private therapy sessions and the only way he can continue to see his therapist is by joining a …

I don’t like watching The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, not because the show is bad, but because it’s so accurate. The show is very well done and has some very believable acting within it. I just hate seeing the harshness of man …

In Crime at Sea, the 37th episode of Sea Hunt’s fourth season, Tom Nicholson’s ship is damaged at sea, apparently by a storm. Another ship finds it but without the captain on board. They tow the ship back to port. Nicholson’s daughter wants to fight another …

Every week I watch Make Me a Super Model, I have to ask myself exactly where they found the women in this competition. They are all pretty but none seem to be super model material. The male contestants have simply dominated this show.
Katy is finally gone. This isn’t really …

This is yet another one of my favorite serial that is on discovery channel from Monday to Friday. There are two teams they tried to given a task which is basically mechanical. They also provided time limit to complete. And after completion they have a competition of the product …

From 1957, Highway Patrol: Hostage Copter was the 38th show of the second season of this police drama. This show was one I enjoyed quite a bit and one of the main reasons for that was guest star Barbara Eden, who played Kathy O’Shea. Early on in …

Though the opening bit is rather cute, the rest of That Girl: Fur All We Know perturbs me on several levels. At the beginning of this show, Don takes Ann to a big party for the wealthy jet set. While he’s doing his business, he tells his …

This is a rather very funny episode that allows both Haim and Feldman some alone time together to hang out. It all begins with Haim catching Feldman having a smoke due to the stressful tension he’s had to deal with between Susie and Haim. So as a result, Haim …

I am sure, its not because I am a nurse by profession that’s why I enjoy this TV series a lot! I mean, yes, there are a lot of medical
jargons used in their scripts, but it’s not the medical terms which would entice the watchers to anticipate the …

This unusual episode shows what can happen when Earth sticks their collective noses into another world’s business, something Jack points out to Daniel at one point. Every time they go through the Gate, they impact the world they’re traveling to. This show, Icon, is really the first …

This was another great episode of the TV show Castle themed for Halloween. It wasn’t scary, it was more like a murder mystery. It was more snappy and witty than usual and I was laughing for the most part.
In this episode the police department encounters the world of the …

Thus concludes David Tennant’s run as the Doctor as he faces off against both the Master and the Time Lords, who seek to bring about an end to creation in order to save their own hides.
The episode is a step above part 1, but it still didn’t quite hit …

Dexter has been my absolutely my most favorite show for many years. I love every minute of it. Season 6,, however, is not as entertaining as the previous one, though it is more intense and charged with meaning. Episode 4 of season 6 of Dexter was really, really …

Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part II picks up where Part 1 left off, at a dramatic standoff at a railroad station. The problem is that the end of Part 1 was a little misleading. Now isn’t that unusual? About the only good part was …

As the two lovers who cast away all doubt and plunged straight into the depths of their own desire now must wonder if their decisions were the correct ones. Welcome to Eureka Seven episode 43 “The Sunshine Underground”, a tale of high pressure and strained emotions with a blood …

Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …

As far as episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer go, “The Wish” was actually a bit corny and not one of my favorites.
This one takes place after Cordelia catching Xander kissing Willow and she ends up making a wish to a demon that Buffy had never come to Sunnydale. …

The first episode of season 8 of House is a prime example of why I love the show so much. House is unlike any other show I have seen on TV- it is daring, unconventional, witty, sarcastic and completely unpredictable. Predictability is a core element in creating a successful …

If I ever want to feel better about the mess in our house, all I need to do is turn on the television and watch the show Clean House.
Each week, Clean House visits another home that has become such a disaster area, you have to wonder why the people …
