Laramie: Trail Drive
Jim Davis, perhaps best known as the patriarch on the nighttime soap opera Dallas, guest starred in the Trail Drive episode of the western Laramie. This first season episode has always been a favorite. The show opens with an impressive gun duel between Davis’ character of Hake …
Centennial: The Longhorns
Centennial: The Longhorns is one of the most fun section of this wonderful mini-series. It’s the only focused on the cowboy, and since I love cowboys, I loved this episode.
One of the reasons The Longhorns works so well is that it is headed up by the terrific actor, …
Strictly Dr. Drew (television show)
The Discovery Health Channel has introduced a show called Strictly Drew that is on Thursday evenings, and offered as an On-Demand option, for those of you who obtain that service from your cable company. Anyway, I have watched the show only twice and I am now addicted. …

That 70s Show: Sunday, Bloody Sunday
I don’t watch That 70s Show all that often any more but did catch a re-run of it yesterday afternoon that was pretty darn funny; “Sunday, Bloody Sunday.”
Kitty, Red and Eric have Red’s mom (played by Happy Days veteran Marion Ross) over for dinner. And, since her and Kitty …
Gilligan’s Island - Hi Fi Gilligan TV Show
This episode is great! You know there is not even one dull moment in the whole show, full of surprising events that keeps you guessing what will happen next. It plays as more an outrageous show and yes is unrealistic, but still good. Gilligan of course gets into trouble, …
CSI Season 5 Episode 15- King Baby
I don’t know if I love this episode or just weirded out by it. One way or another, this was a great plot and a good example of great writing. I really loved it because it was so unusual, both the case and the circumstances. And maybe it was …
Seven days season 1 episode 17
This episode starts in Brazilian woods where a man kills an animal. When I saw this man I have immediately recognized Jeff Kober who usually plays bad guys in different shows. So when I saw him here I knew something was strange because Jeff was black here. But as …
Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 2 is the second episode of season nine, a season I’d just as soon forget, with a handful of exceptions.
Mainly, this episode continues the ridiculous plot of Daniel and Vala being linked because of these bracelets that she found. Neither can stay too far …
The Virginian: The Intruders TV show
The Virginian: The Intruders had some comedic tones to it early on, though those elements gave way eventually to some dramatic beats that were quite heavy in nature.
Some of the fun for me in watching The Intruders was seeing David Macklin as Eddie Tighe, an easterner who came to …
The Cleaner: The Eleventh Hour
The Cleaner: The Eleventh Hour has a lot of good going for it. I absolutely loved the way that William and his son Ben come to a resolution about the difficulties that they’ve been having in the first part of the season. They had a contract meeting, …

Laramie: Midnight Rebellion TV Show
Laramie: Midnight Rebellion features Robert Fuller as Jess Harper, and it’s a pretty dramatic hour for this superbly done television western. The ending has a lot of action and poignancy to it, and it does get intense at times.
However, let’s start with the opening scene from this show …
Heroes Season 1 Episode 2-Don’t Look Back
Heroes Season 1 Episode 2-Don’t Look Back
This was another great episode in the amazing series heroes. A good introduction and first episode, the characters in the story continue with the process of self exploration in finding out some confusing truths about them, their lives, and their abilities.
New …
Stargate Atlantis: The Seed
As folks who know me are aware, I’m not a big fan of Stargate Atlantis for many reasons, not the least of which is that I hold it responsible for the deterioration of quality on Stargate SG-1. Now that I’ve said that up front, here are both the …

Tell Me You Love Me (HBO TV Series, 2007)
I had never heard of this series before and decided to check it out on Netflix. I was really apprehensive at first, wondering whether I would enjoy something that clearly seemed like a silly chick series. I have learned from experience that the erotic chick series has …
Grey’s Anatomy Season 6 Episode 16
After watching a bunch of not so great episodes of Grey’s it was nice to see one that had a good vibe to it. Funny, light hearted and warm and this was that episode, well up until the end anyway where it got sad.
What was cool about this …
“Broke” episode of The Office
I watched this episode of the office today, overall it was really good. One of the best I have seen so far. There were quite a few parts that were pretty funny. There were also some parts that made me smile and some ah ah moments. It showed everyone …
The Cleaner: Chaos Theory
As The Cleaner: Chaos Theory went on, I kept wondering who it was who was playing William Banks’ old friend, Quinn. He was so familiar; finally realized it was Jeff Fahey. He was perfect for the part, but with the look he had, I didn’t recognize him.
The …
Red Dwarf: TIkka to Ride
I don’t fully understand what the title “Tikka to Ride” means but then I have always suspected that there is quite a lot in Red Dwarf that I am missing. This is the first episode in Series 7 and though there are considerable stupid things in any episode …

In That Girl: Black and White and Read All Over, Lou Marie (Lew Parker) finds out that Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) has written a novel. Don’s a little depressed since he’s had 12 rejections that day. The novel was actually completed in the first season and resurfaces …
Discovery Health (tv station)
Lately, I have been highly intrigued by the Discovery Health Channel on television. Not only does the channel obtain a nice mix of show topics to improve your overall health, but it also aires a great deal of shows about medical miracles and various illnesses and traumatic health …
Extant TV Show Season Two, Episode Morphoses
Morphoses is the second episode in the second season of Extant. One that I was eager to watch after getting off to a great start in the previous episode. My review will contain spoilers.
Unlike the first one episode, we’re not instantly thrown into a whirl of action. The second …
That Girl: He and She and He
One episode I’m really not fond of at all is That Girl: He and She and He, a second season entry. This brings back the character of Noel Prince, the British photographer from the two parter earlier in the season. In that outing, Noel went after Ann …
Emergency!: Weird Wednesday
Emergency!: Weird Wednesday is all about having one of those crazy days when nothing but odd things happen. It begins for Johnny and Roy with a woman parachutist who gets stuck in a tree. She’s undaunted by it all, though, and ready to go right back at …
Sirius Hair Nation
I am a huge fan of 1980’s hair bands. So when I bought satellite tv and it came with a huge list of music channels, I was extatic to find out that a whole channel was dedicate to music from big hair bands from the 80’s.
I have always …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Wake the Dead
“Wake the Dead” is the 11th episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. It features a powered up version of Solomon Grundy against the Green Lantern, Superman, Hawkgirl, Dr. Fate, Aquaman, and Lynx. Typically this would be an uneven fight, but Grundy had been powered up by …
Masters of Horror: Sounds Like — TV show

Friends Episode: The One With Mike’s Ex-Girlfriend and Monica’s Hairdo
Friends Episode: The One With Mike’s Ex-Girlfriend and Monica’s Hairdo is pretty awesome, but personally, there are more awesome and funnier episodes from Friends. But this one ain’t that bad. As usual, you see Monica and Chandler debating on menial issues and this time, it’s hair issue. …
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (TV Series Starring Jeremy Brett)
In the last few years, the world’s most famous fictional consulting detective has been receiving a good deal of much deserved attention. There were the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ movies with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Then, there were the television series ‘Sherlock’ with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. …
Ghost Hunters International 2008 (Sci-Fi network show)
I like T.A.P.S., the show featuring the Ghost Hunters Jay and Grant. Those are the founders of TAPS, and they do a great job of investigating and debunking the ghost stories that they find across the country. I started watching this show a few years ago. …

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Warlord
While Soon-Tek Oh is an incredible actor and does his normal terrific job in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Warlord, it’s not enough to carry this show; at least, not for me. In this episode, Oh plays Yataki, the warlord, and he does a good job, as always. …

Patrick Swayze returns to episodic television for the first time since his short-lived 1982 series The Renegades, in this A&E TV drama, The Beast. The show airs Thursday nights at 10pm and is then rerun several times throughout the week.

Teletubbies for kids
Teletubbies usually runs on the local stations. Its a very good program for babies and very young toddlers. Babies are fastinated by the teletubbies movement, singing, and dancing. They love “Nunu” which is the teletubbies little vaacum cleaner. Teletubbies love to hug and dance and play. Each episode features …
The Office: Branch Closing
“Whatever you can say about Michael, he wouldn’t have done that,” is the line of the episode. Watching “The Office” is about watching Michael do stupid things, but it’s good to be reminded occasionally that he has his good points and though in real like he almost certainly …
How I Met Your Mother Season - Shelter Island
This episode originally aired on October 20, 2008. It is not as funny as the other episodes but it does help to move the plot ahead. It may feel a little boring at times. It concludes the romance between Ted and Stella.
The break-up between Ted and Stella has been …

All in the Family The Complete Sixth Season
This is the last season of All in the Family to be released on DVD even though the show ran for nine years before changing its name to Archie Bunker’s Place. It’s a shame that the remaining seasons haven’t been released and it’s possible they never will be considering …
Jeremiah: And the Ground, Sown with Salt
Jason Priestley guest stars in Jeremiah: And the Ground, Sown with Salt, a show that stars Luke Perry. These two actors were quite the rage back in the days of Beverly Hills 90210, a series I never cared for. I’ve been surprised by Perry in this science …

Goong is a korean drama that is based off the comic by Park So Hee. It is a story about a girl named Shin Chae-gyung, and the crown-prince of korea, Lee Shin. The grandfathers of both of these protagonists were best friends when they were alive. The girl was …
Caprica (TV)
Recently a new television series named “Caprica” has been advertising to be aired on the cable television channel Syfy. I saw it advertise on several cable television channels before I finally decided to watch it too, since when it was advertising I guess I got the wrong impression, and …
