The wonderful Bernard Fox makes another appearance in this great comedy series in April 1964. In The Andy Griffith Show: The Return of Malcolm Merriweather, Fox plays the amicable gentleman’s valet, who comes back to Mayberry to say hello as he makes his way around that part of …

Super Mario World - “Mama Luigi” is the last episode of this short, thirteen episode series. I have to wonder if the writers and producers were aware of this, because this episode seems awfully appropriate for a final episode. I say that because it actually tells of the story …

It is the final day of Science Week and Springfield Elementary. Skinner prepares to launch a weather balloon. Bart seems very excited by this, and Skinner becomes suspicious. When the balloon is far up in the sky, Bart shows his hardwork and effort. It is a mocking image of …

Cribs is a show on television that shows you celebrities or famous people’s houses. You would think that this would be a good show but I hate it. I thought it was a good idea at first but I generally don’t like the show.
The reason I don’t like …

Recap: Kara must find out who’s the other supergirl while keeping her date life alive. Alex deals with Maxwell Lord to secure her family security the only way she knows how.

The one thing which may be harder to deal with than House miserable is House happy. In this episode of House he is given antidepressants and they actually work, as a young dying girl finds out when he is smiling while telling her she is going to die.
Everyone already …

The pilot for this series was a mixed bag. There was a lot of stuff that I really liked and stuff that I felt was either unwelcome or unnecessary. This episode is a bit more consistent and balanced and it ends up working both for and against …

“Best Years Of Your Life,” is a weird title for this episode about suicides, mainly teenage ones.
When Penhall and Hanson are undercover they arrest a young boy named Walker Stevenson. A few days later, after getting out of jail and talking to Hanson, Walker kills himself with a …

This season has been a real return to form. This episode was no exception. The addition of Zatanna is always a nice thing and Serinda Swan played the part quite well.
I had a few quibbles with her at first but they were taken care of …

I just finished watching the third episode in the sixth season of Project Runway. I have been an avid follower of this show since the third season, and I desperately hunted down the first two seasons in DVD. Fortunately, I saw it on a re-run some time ago, in …

One of the newer animated tales that airs on the networks during Christmastime is called Prep and Landing and features the voice of Dave Foley. I’m not a big fan of Foley’s per se, but I was bored so decided to see what this fairly new show was …

Emergency!: Cook’s Tour is a fun little show. When I watch it, it’s not really any one story that stands out, but it’s more the feel of the firehouse that is the heart of the show. Fire department cooking is almost legendary, and this show deals with …

This is really an odd episode. OK, the same idea of this show about a man who doesn’t know anything about himself but knows everything about everything else id odd itself, but it is also kind a interesting because people usually like different stuff. We all have our own …

Stargate SG-1: Chimera brings about a lot of surprises for fans of the series. The first one is that Daniel suddenly owns a home. This has come out of nowhere. For seven years, he’d had an apartment and, bam, now he has a house.
The second is …

Monsters Inside Me is an American factual TV show on the Discovery Channel about medical conditions that have affected people as the result of some kind of infection.
I find the show both scary and fascinating as the thought of some kind of organism living in your body is like …

From August 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Wonderful Death of Dudley Stone begins with Bradbury’s explanation that the story was spawned from his pondering over how he might respond if someone asked for his writing or his life. I don’t know if this tale is his answer, …

Aang, Katarra and Sokka travel to Kyoshi Village where Aang wants to ride the fish there. They are captured by the female warriors and after they learn that Aang is the Avatar, word spreads, capturing the attention of Pricne Zuko, who attacks the village.
This episode was interesting and …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bird of Time, an episode which aired early in the western’s sixth season on the air, went right into the action, avoiding one of the traditional San Francisco openings. I always lament the lack of the fancy Paladin beginnings. They add …

Season 2 opens with a megabang and doesn’t let up until the final closing minutes. Picking up right after “What He Beheld”, the Season 1 finale, “Samson and Delilah” takes a page from “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” with the good robot unintentionally gone bad. Sarkissian’s men attack …

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: I Love You Molly McGraw starts out with some animal angst, which I never enjoy watching. It’s Evan’s horse, Diablo, who develops a leg injury and might have to be put down. Then it’s new vet, Molly McGraw (Ann Dusenberry) who operates and …

Private Eye: Light and Shadows begins with a black female loan officer hiring Jack Cleary (Michael Woods) to protect her. She’s being followed and claims not to know why. The woman is Helen Burke, played strongly and capably by Lisa Wilkinson. What is funny to me …

In this episode Dr. Foreman is put in charge of Houses for three week department. It is hard to tell if House is upset by this or just likes toying with Foreman and Cutty but he continue to cause trouble through the entire episode, calling in Foreman for every …

Grodd travels to the future, where a great disaster has left the world in control of evolved anthropomorphic animals: gorillas, tigers, snakes, bears etc. How Grodd knew about this, I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter.
Batman follows him in an attempt to stop him. In an inverse …

Highway Patrol: Nitro is in my mind one of the worst outings for this series, but let me start with a humorous part of it.
The funniest thing about this show was a couple of lines between two men who are transporting nitroglycerin. The one man tells the other …

I didn’t know a lot about 21 Jump Street before I started watching the dvds. It’s a show my parents used to watch and talked about starring a young Johnny Depp.
After hearing about it a few times I decided to check it out.
The premise of the show is …

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 …

I am a total TV addict, so I was excited when I saw the previews for a new mystery/drama on ABC, ironically called “Happy Town.” The previews touted the show to be about a small Midwestern town with a deep, dark secret. I figured this kind of show would …

Comedy Central brings together reality TV and obscene cartooons together in a wonderful mix with drawn together. I don’t quite know how long this show has been on the air, I just watched a DVD of the first season at a friends house, and fell in love.
This show is …

I’m not exactly sure what I was doing during the second season of Psych. But, apparently there were quite a few episodes that season that I missed because I was seeing them for the first time during a marathon on Saturday.
One of them, Gus’ Dad May have Killed and …

A few shows back, Julie Adams guest starred on The Andy Griffith Show: Three’s a Crowd as County Nurse Mary Simpson. I stated in my review that she was a strong woman, and thus, the romance didn’t last. The producers apparently attempted to fluff up Mary and …

The Twilight Zone: The Prime Mover is one of those episodes that I have a like/dislike relationship with. I dislike a part of it, or perhaps I should say the early indication of where the show is headed, but then I like quite a lot how the ultimate …

What are the odds? Mr. Spock would say they were astronomical, I’m sure, but this isn’t Star Trek, so I suppose the odds don’t matter. In Stargate: Infinity: Mentor, Major Gus Bonner and his team go to a world where they run into Bonner’s mentor, Harley Sheppard, …

Drop Dead Diva is a new TV series on the Lifetime channel. It comes on at 9 p.m. eastern time on Sundays. I was skeptical about this show because it’s on Lifetime, and Lifetime is one of those channels that provides TV movies and shows that are a tad …

I was home at lunch today and my wife, who was waiting for another show to come on, had the television show Las Vegas on TV. I have never seen this show before so I took a few minutes to watch it and see if it would be something …

This episode of That Girl called The Seventh Time Around has a couple of things I like about it, but overall is in my average category. What’s nice about it, though, is just that it’s someone going after Don instead of Ann, thereby showing that both parts of …

In the last episode Michael gets video footage of all the card holders. So in this episode they track down a Turkey Ambassador’s wife. However the card is in her purse and she is well guarded by her bodyguard. Meanwhile Sarah visits a bar and starts drinking. Upon where …

Top Shot is the show that pits expert shooters against one another. The competitors are on two teams, the red team and the blue team. In the first three shows, the red team has lost the battles. The focus in this hour was on judgement, utilizing …

Concluding the three part extravaganza, this episode manages to maintain all of the things that worked about the previous episode, while toning down on the stuff that didn’t. The pseudo-philosophical narration is still here, but it doesn’t play as large a part as it did when Mulder was …

I finally got a chance to watch a full episode of Fringe last night (I love DVR because it allows me to pause the show until I get my daughter to bed). The episode, The Bishop Revival, was interesting and a bit creepy.
Basically, they had a Nazi scientist using …

As you would know from some of my reviews, I love movies. Tv series, sitcom, reality, you name it.
One of the series I like to watch is Ugly Betty. Note the term “like” other than “love” which I more often use to express my feelings for a …

Trigun Episode 3 begins with Meryl and Milly in Warrens City, still looking for Vash the Stampede, who is also in the city looking for a renowned gunsmith named Frank Marlon. He runs into the town drunk and befriends him; he finds out that the drunk is Frank …

Wow, just wow. That’s all that can be said after watching this episode. Doctor Who finales tend to be larger in scale, but this completely blew everything else out of the water by a long shot, a looong shot. Just when you think that the show …

There is one news reporter who really has moved on up and rightly so. This is Dan Abrahms. At one time he was on Court TV. Many times he appears on news on NBC channel 4. However his greatest show is on MSNBC called The …

I’d forgotten that the first episode of M*A*S*H included all the shots that were part of the opening show with just a slight embellishment in the action. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. I’d also forgotten that it’s one of Hawkeye’s letters home that begins …

Damned If You Do was the third outing for the seventh season of CSI: New York, and I can’t say that I liked their choice of opening song which was a throwback to Miami Vice. It’s so strongly associated with that show that I can’t believe the music …

I loved the original CSI, but CSI Miami is another matter. When I first saw the introduction of CSI Miami in one episode in CSI, I was intrigued because the architecture of their lab was really exceptional. The plot which intertwined the two series’ was done smoothly. When the …

Come Dine With Me is one of those TV shows that I originally would have run a mile to get away from, but which I am slowly finding myself being drawn into. The setup is really pretty simple, in that a small group of chefs (amateur ones rather than …

This season confirms Jack Bauer’s vulnerability to women. I always thought he is strong and invincible but when it comes to the women in his life, he is not ashamed to show his weakness. Since the first season up to this one, Jack has had so many memorable relationships …

M*A*S*H: ‘Twas the Day After Christmas is another holiday story, only it focuses more on Boxing Day, the 26th of December, which is a British tradition. After a couple of Brits passing through suggest that the 4077th celebrate the military version of Boxing Day, where officers and enlisted …

From day one the TV show Lost has become one of the most successful series ever. It had managed to captive the attention of many audiences worldwide, of different ages and different cultures. And I am a big fan myself. Part of the appeal of the show is the …
