“Doctor Who” is a long-running science fiction series centering around “the Doctor,” an alien species known as a Time Lord with a surprisingly human-like appearance. The Doctor can travel through time and often ends up righting wrongs and setting events right when historic events change from their intended …

With only three episodes left, “To The Lighthouse” takes somewhat of a breather from the previous three episodes which were undeniably incredible, but still manages to keep things pretty interesting. It goes like this - Sarah, John, Cameron, and Derek are moving to another location in the desert to …

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, …

I really love this episode, not so much because the episode mystery is particularly good (It’s not, I’ll get to that in a second) but because we get to see Veronica helping Wallace out and we really get a sense of how far she would go for her friends. …

A body of a man is discovered on the Brooklyn bridge with only the evidence that he was about to propose marriage to a woman that night (an engagement ring is found in his jacket). The case becomes unusual when they try to discover whether he was refused and …

Ralph Nader was all over television back in his heyday, promoting consumer awareness and advocacy. It makes him a decent selection as the honoree as the Man of the Week on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour because he’s easy to make fun of and with.
Unfortunately, I really didn’t …

The episode starts with the scene in which we see Parker talking to himself, but there are actually two Parkers, one is eating the chicken and drinking beer and the other tells him that the bubbles in the beer are going upside down and that his addition to the …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 19 has Section 9 searching for former Prime Minister Kanzaki’s daughter after she is abducted.
This was a very good episode. Not one of the best episodes in the series, but it was very well done and the plot was interesting. …

For the 2010 Independence Day holiday, a special called America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theater was presented. I liked this hour long show, but I wish it had featured some holiday music in it. Instead, we had a lot of pop music and some other songs, …

Wagon Train: The Widow O’Rourke Story is one of my favorites. It’s really quite different and interesting, and Robert Fuller gets to play two parts. Along with his regular role as Cooper Smith, the scout for the wagon train, in flashbacks he plays the Irish husband of …

We needed an extra television in our home, and being on a tight budget we bought the 13inch Citizen JCTV1372SC Colour Television for $89.99 CDN from our local supermarket. I had bought other Citizen electronic products before, including a small stereo that had a really great sound so I …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Symbiosis is one of the blander episodes from the first season and only a mildly interesting Prime Directive story. I also feel that the dialogue at times is a little awkward and forced, like during the conversation of Lt. Yar and Acting Ensign …

I don’t watch this Supernatural television series, so I don’t even know the setup of the story. All I really know is that it’s a science fiction series that airs on the CW network at the moment. However, I had to watch this episode because Michael Shanks …

Somebody’s stealing Larry’s newspapers—¦and a neighbourhood get together for Cedar provides the ideal opportunity to nail the culprit.
Meanwhile, a registered sex offender has moved into the neighbourhood and despite some initial apprehension, Larry is soon charmed and endeared toward the man and Cheryl is outraged to discover Larry …

Ice Road Truckers: The Ace Vs. the Ice was the latest installment of the 2010 season. It was a good one. My highlights, and questions, are below:
–This is the second time we’ve had a segment with Lisa about her meals. I’m not sure what the producers …

I turned on the television and was lucky enough to catch an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Initially I had thought it would be a terrible show and had never bothered watching it, that night however there was nothing on TV and so I watched.
Surprisingly it was really …

OK, I never even heard of the show Total Drama Island until my wife was surfing channels the other day and came across the Cartoon Network. But, after seeing a few episodes of it, I have to admit it is pretty good.
Basically, this is a cartoon featuring a bunch …

The Ghostbusters find themselves the unwilling subjects of a news expose. The fact that the two are apparently set on exposing the group as frauds doesn’t really help matters. I did like how they tried to remain impartial while only asking questions that painted the team in …

I absolutely have no idea how in the world this reality TV show made it onto the air. I know that you can basically make a reality show out of anything these days. But this one is so corny that I had to laugh whenever I happened …

In the prior episode of That Girl, Ann and Don had planned to visit the Maries in Brewster, but Don had to work. In this episode entitled Bad Day at Marvin Gardens, the Maries come to the city to spend the weekend with the couple, starting with a …

Is it me or is it more than a coincidence that Corey Feldman receives the poster for his new movie, “The Birthday”, on Corey Haim’s 35th birthday? Hmm… Oh wait, this is reality television, everything is like 50% planned or something, right? So yeah, in that case, it does …

OK, I’ll admit, the That 70s Show episode “Career Day” was one of the funniest television programs I’ve seen today and one I wish I could simply re-wind and watch again.
This episode has the individual cast members following their parents around and learning about their careers; with some really …

Invisibleman is a show that was quite popular back at the beginning of 2000 and I liked it because I like this kind a sci-fi stuff about special powers and x-man. Darien is an I-man, he can turn invisible. He has a gland that produced quick silver. In one …

Trigun Episode 6 has Vash sitting in a restaurant eating while the town uses the reward money for the Nebraska Family to hire engineers to fix the Plant that malfunction. Plants were based on lost technology that helps them survive on the desert planet. A woman named …

I’ve seen those shows a zillion times, and I have clear cut favorites of ones I enjoy watching and ones that are viewed with reluctance. Star Trek: Charlie X is one of the latter episodes. Nothing against guest star Robert Walker, Jr., but he just annoyed me …

One thing that always stands out about Adam-12: Citizens All, a fourth season episode of this crime series, is the segment in which actor John Smith portrays. Smith is notable to me because he co-starred in my all-time favorite TV series, a western called Laramie. He’ll always …

Captain Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) goes a bit bonkers in the mess hall and rebels against the lack of cuisine. He then figures out that what he wants and needs is an order of Ribs with sauce from a Chicago establishment. M*A*S*H: Adam’s Ribs is pretty much …

Mercy is a new hospital drama on NBC on Wednesday nights at 8. I started watching it from the pilot, expecting a half decent medical show. I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are very appealing, the medicine is realistic, and the plotline is dynamic enough to …

James Lowe, successful British conductor, wants to draw young people into the world of the orchestra and classical music. To do so, he’ll form a band of 75 kids from the greater Manchester area and prep them for a performance at a famous hall called Bridgewater. This …

The fourth season of Stargate SG-1 comes to an end with the cliffhanger episode entitled Exodus. There is a lot right about Exodus, and it makes for a thrilling view, even if not every bit of it thrills me personally.
The less than thrilling part for me is the …

Here Come the Brides: Democracy in Action is a fun show and one I enjoy watching. One of the things I like about it is that the theme of the show changes two or three times, meaning that just when you think the story is about ‘this’, it turns. …

Out of all of the Snoopy TV specials, this is my favorite. With the scenes of breakdancing and the energetic songs, it’s the one that says “1980s” the most. I grew up in the 80s so I love a lot of stuff from that decade. And there’s just something …

I know that only one episode of this show has gone by. But I am really ashamed that this is what young black are aspiring to become these days. I have nothing against either young lady. I can see the pop culture appeal of showcasing …

It’s a show about romance and misunderstandings, along with Barney’s normal over confidence. That’s what The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt from May 1964 deals with. I actually love the opening scene where Barney and Thelma Lou are window shopping, essentially talking about their …

From February 1982, The Fall Guy: Ladies on the Ropes is one I’d just rather forget to be honest. There are some shows where either the topic or just the theme in which a story is placed doesn’t excite men, and this is definitely one of those.
Basically, Bail …

Fame aired 16 episodes in its first season on NBC back in 1982. The story is about students at New York City’s School of Performing Arts and stars Debbie Allen, Albert Hague, Erica Gimpel, Valerie Landsburg, Gene Anthony Ray, and several others.
This is a four disk set, two …

Another new character steals the show in this episode, and that is a good thing. This character, Rock Lee, is another Konoha gennin but is older than Naruto and team. Rock Lee challenges Sasuke to a fight and easily dispatches a hasty Naruto and then begins his fight with …

In this third episode of Black Gold’s third season on TruTV, Peggy, the owner of the land on which the oil rig is currently operating, confronts the tool pusher about the broken cattle guard seen in episode 2. I don’t think much of this guy. He talks …

First, Florence’s mother shows up at the Jeffersons’ apartment, much to the surprise of everyone, including Florence, but another surprise soon hits, and it’s one that shocks Florence …

Changing Lanes was a documentary of sorts that aired in 2010 on the BET Network. Over a couple of months, viewers watched several young racers vying to win one of four spots on a new racing team in NASCAR. This new team was called Revolution Racing and …

From Highway Patrol’s second season in 1957, Stripped Cars gave viewers a bit of something new, and that came by the unique crime scenario.
The action in this story surrounds George Bennett, the driver of a car carrier when he’s attacked and killed. Bennett was just in the way, …

When I first heard about H20 - Just Add Water I was quite excited. A series about mermaids? I love mermaids, I also loved that the show was an Australian one.
H20 is into it’s third season now and I must admit the first season was a bit …

Diagnosis Murder: Misdiagnosis Murder is a show I just don’t enjoy. It’s heavy on the Dr. Jesse Travis (Charlie Schlatter) character, and he’s my least favorite of all. He never follows orders, and he’s so hyper in this outing from the lack of sleep that I just want …

I had the Simpsons on yesterday afternoon and, for a change, the channel wasn’t showing a repeat that I had seen several dozen times before. Instead, they had a newer episode (at least for me) called Skinner’s Sense of Snow.
This episode was a bit bizarre at times and I …

This was a very interesting episode, although it seemed a little bit strange. Somehow it felt like the events were rushed a bit and that things were all of a sudden going to well for the team of prisoners in the story, after such a long time, where things …

Highway Patrol: Female Hitchhiker evolves around a trio of baddies who work together to rob unsuspecting folks who offer them rides. The trio is headed up by Warren Childs (Keith Richards), a smooth talking man no one would suspect of being anything more than a businessman. Working …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Unforgiving Minute, episode 20 of season six of the Richard Boone western series, does not have my beloved introduction that takes place in San Francisco. I’m not sure how many shows in this year were without them, but from what I’ve seen in …

I have been a customer of Comcast Cable off and on for roughly the last 7 years or so, dependent upon what deals they are currently offering. In the past, I have had no real complaints with the service other than the fact that their rates tended to …

This episode picks up where the season finale left off. Aang is having nightmares about the battle, seeing the ruthless attack from outside himself.
The group leaves the North pole to head to an Earth Kingdom where Aang can continue his training.
When they arrived, I figured they …
