Full House Season 4
Full House Season 4 is almost when the show tried to “jump the shark”. Granted it was a transitional time for the show as the kids were starting to grow, but things were still a little odd.
Little Michelle was now a toddler, and fully capable of talking. The …

The Carol Burnett Show: Ken Berry and Roddy McDowall TV Show

Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 13: The Big Bang
Thus, the fifth season of Doctor Who reaches it’s end. This episode stands in a pretty stark contrast to the other finales. Where Davies kept wanting to escalate and make things more epic, this one is a bit more low key. I mean, sure, the universe …
The Office: Dinner Party
The problem with “The Office” is that in many episodes the awkward situation it feels too forced. This episode is the exception. Michal starts this episode with a rare moment of outsmarting someone. He tells everyone in the office they will have to stay late so not to make …
Orchestra United: Episode 2 TV Show
The second episode of Orchestra United was a little slow for me somehow. I can’t really put my finger on it, but there was something that didn’t keep me as hooked as I had been. Still, the hour long episode from the United Kingdom had some solid …

Memories of M*A*S*H
Hosted by Shelley Long, Memories of M*A*S*H from 1991 is a look back at this long running dramedy; that is, a situation comedy that was as much drama as it ever was comedy. The show lasted for 11 seasons before voluntarily leaving the airwaves, so there is a …
The Cosby Show. A TV Sitcom
For those of us who grew up during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s there is no more memorable sitcom than “The Cosby Show”. To me “The Cosby Show” was a big part of my childhood and a sitcom that still reigns as my favorite sitcom of all …

Battlestar Galactica: Saga of a Star World
When I was growing up, my family never missed an episode of the television series Battlestar Galactica (the original series not the remake). But, because I would have been about three when it first aired, I had no memory of the first episode “Saga of a Star World” so …
Biography: Nancy McKeon TV Show

American Idol - Results 5/6/09

Law & Order SVU: Unstable
Last night was the season premiere of Law & Order SVU and it was a bit better than expected; though you can only have so many cases involving rape before you start feeling like you’ve watched the show before.
This one had an unstable cop discovering a rape victim and, …

Fireball XL5: Planet of Platonia
On the DVD set, Fireball XL5: Planet of Platonia is actually the third episode, so I don’t know if maybe it was produced early and saved for a later airing or what. It aired as episode 13 in early 1963. It’s possible the DVD order is just out …
Will and Grace
I first heard of the comedic television series “Will and Grace” while I was still in high school. I can’t remember how the discussion started or what it had to do with English either, but it seemed to be the topic of a very animated English class one day …
The Great British Bake Off: S1, Ep6 TV Show
Being in the United States, for a while I wasn’t sure I was ever going to see the finale of The Great British Bake Off. I’d managed to get copies of the first five competitions, but that sixth was elusive until now.
This cooking competition series began with ten …

The Twilight Zone: The Mighty Casey TV Show

The Two Coreys: Episode 1.4 - Surprise Party
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 …

The Andy Griffith Show: Stranger in Town TV Show
I do enjoy The Andy Griffith Show: Stranger in Town and I agree with what it’s trying to convey. At the same time, I see the flaws and that’s what keeps it from being a really great show. There’s just a huge dose of common sense that …
Heroes show
Heroes is a show on NBC and it’s one of their top rated shows if you ask me. If you’ve never seen an episode of Heroes, although I don’t know who hasn’t, it’s about people with special abilities. Basically the show follows a handful of people with special abilities …
Robot Chicken TV show
Robot Chicken is a sketch comedy show on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim lineup. It’s animated, but not in the traditional moving pictures manner. It’s actually the product of stop-motion animation, making heavy use of action figures and dolls.

Supernatural (television series)
One of my favourite shows of all times is “Supernatural”. I can honestly say that I can’t think of one bad thing to say about it; and it’s the only television series I know that seems to get better and better with time.
