Highway Patrol: Slain Cabby TV Show
The 16th episode from January 1958 of Highway Patrol was called Slain Cabby and was pretty good overall.
In this third season outing, I think this was the first time I really saw a CHP meeting, a prolonged scene where they discuss their plans for capturing the robbers. It …
M*A*S*H: Officers Only
I suppose someone behind the scenes decided that it was time to add a new set to the 4077th compound. Most scenes have traditionally been in the operating room, the Swamp, Henry’s office, including the clerk’s area, Houlihan’s tent, the showers, and the mess tent. With almost …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Two: Frankendoodle

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Hank Aaron TV Show

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast continued with the Man of the Hour, Dan Haggerty, best known as Grizzley Adams. The dais featured a few performers known for playing similar outdoor characters along with the usual suspects of ridiculous ‘why bother’ comics.
To be honest, this was the most boring …

Chasing Mummies: Bats TV Show

The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Kirk Douglas TV Show
The great Kirk Douglas was the honoree who was roasted on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. I like to see performers of his caliber in the hot seat. Usually someone like Douglas means more appropriate people on the dais, though not always.
One of my …
House TV Episode: Lockdown
I was looking forward to finally seeing a new episode of House last night. But, after seeing the episode, Lockdown (or, at least parts of it in between putting the kids to bed), I have to say I was very disappointed.
The premise was OK, the hospital is locked down …

Dexter’s Laboratory
Dexter’s Laboratory is a pretty funny show. I think Dexter is cool and he looks really funny. The animation in Dexter’s Laboratory looks like of weird. It has the new look that I don’t really like. I guess it’s because I grew up watching classic animation like bugs bunny. …
