Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Creature Below! was the 16th show to air during the 1965-1966 TV season, which was the second year of this sci fi series about the nuclear submarine, Seaview. The Seaview should have billing: it’s a vital part of what makes …

From October 1963, The Andy Griffith Show: The Haunted House is a classically funny episode of this comedy series which features Griffith as small town sheriff, Andy Taylor. Andy is more common sense oriented than most of the others we meet in this rural community of Mayberry, North …

Outside of the upcoming Blood Brothers episode which I consider to be tops all the way around, M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye is the best of the ninth season. It’s a show that starts out in an unsuspecting style with Hawkeye Pierce waking up in the middle of the …

Code Geass Episode 6 has Lelouch trying to track down a cat that has gotten away with his Zero mask.
This episode was different from the others and it’s a way to get away from all the serious episodes for a little bit. It was rather funny to see …

I still like the television series Monk. But, either I’m becoming a better detective myself or the show is becoming extremely predictable with easy-to-solve cases.
Mr. Monk Buys a House, the newest episode, is a good example of this.
From the first minutes of the show, we know who is killed …

Friends Episode: Phoebe Hates PBS is a very good episode and I will always remember this awesome plot, together with the
other plots in other episodes. Joey and Phoebe have this ‘tiff’ over PBS and Phoebe is commenting on how much she hates PBS, because as a kid, she …

Stargate SG-1: Enigma is another good episode from the first year of this great TV series. Actually, for the Daniel lovers, I think it’s just cool to see him covered in ash. He’s so cute!
This episode also has one of my favorite bloopers. There’s a moment …

Sea Hunt: Gold Below begins with some underwater shots of Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) working with his new assistant, Billy Riker. The reason why Billy is so fun to watch is that he’s played by Jack Hogan. Hogan has a long history of excellent portrayals, including a …

M*A*S*H: Bottoms Up gives the viewers a different slant on the usual prankster plots that we’ve seen over the years. This time around Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) pull a prank in the operating room that isn’t funny and turns the camp against him. …

The episode flashes back to Brock’s early days working for Dr. Venture. Thaddeus shows Brock the clone room and Brock is seen to be disturbed by it all. Dr. Venture comes across a deformed fetus and flushes it. Unbeknownst to him, it survived. It’s been …

This is the absolutely my favourite episode of CSI New York ever. Usually when I watch TV I do a whole bunch of things in between, but this time I was so into the story I think I was sitting the whole time with my mouth open. It …

Emergency!: Dilemma began with a really cool directorial shot of the engine and squad heading for their first response of the show. It was an overhead shot that was never exactly repeated, though other similar shots were done in later years. This series employed a lot of …

To Boldly Go … Season One featurette focuses just on the first season Star Trek, talking about various episodes and how it fit into TV in the day. It includes comments by Leonard Nimoy, Robert Justman, and William Shatner. They’re all interesting, as they take into account …

I was watching a season 17 episode of the Simpsons yesterday, Bonfire of the Manatees. And, while it was somewhat funny, I thought it was actually a bit low-brow for a show that is usually so much better.
The lead-in to the show was kind of cute. Homer blows a …

“Adam-12″, Log 112, is a satisfying episode with some humor and some drama, making it a well rounded show.
The humor aspect comes in with the set up early on, when Officer Pete Malloy gets hit inside a bar during a disturbance call. The key is that he never …

Actor Mike Farrell, who plays B.J. Hunnicutt, finally gets to direct an episode of this great comedy series. M*A*S*H: Ain’t Love Grand has a few different elements going on, including Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) getting involved with a lady of the evening over at …

The first half of the third season of Ghost Hunters kicked off with a trip to the Old West. Since I’m a huge fan of that time period and it’s one of my favorite parts of history, I was excited to see what they found. The crew hit four …

I should have known that the reality TV contest world would benefit from a show in which the best amateur chef will become the next TV star. I would imagine that some of these people entered the competition merely because they want to get their foot in …

I came home for lunch today and the Home Improvement episode “Satellite on a Hot Tim’s Roof” was on. And, it is great.
There are two storylines going on in this episode and the writers managed to pull off both without taking away from either of them.
First, Tim gets a new …

Laramie: Queen of Diamonds is a marvelous first show for the second season of this western that I adore greatly. One of the things that make it special is the guest star, Julie London. Decades later, London co-starred with Laramie star Robert Fuller in Emergency! While …

I watched the Kardashians on E! network and rather enjoyed the show because there are so many of them. I have also watched “Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami” and enjoyed it because these two are such characters. In any case, the show does not feature Kim (the …

In this episode, there’s a new guy at the academy and Merrill’s pet rat goes missing.
There’s a new guy on campus that has all the girls turning their heads, especially Merrill and Essie and it becomes a huge problem when Drew notices Sherry checking the guy out to. It …

Burn Notice: Double Booked was the second episode I’ve seen of this series that didn’t have Michael Shanks as a guest star that I could say that I liked and enjoyed watching. Overall, the show just doesn’t do it for me, even though it’s a smart show with …

Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 5 is called false profits. It is one of the best episodes I have seen yet. My favorite characters are the Ferengi which have proclaimed to be false profits in a small society in the delta quadrant. The members of Voyager stumble across …

I’ve been watching episodes of the old cartoon show Voltron and today was the second episode in the series “Escape to another planet.”
While the animation in this cartoon still remains a bit weak compared to today’s cartoons, the plot itself definitely continues to be interesting; though I’m normally not …

In Due South: The Gift of the Wheelman, it’s the Christmas season, and Benton and Ray are out doing their shopping when a bank robbery occurs nearby. The hold up is done by men dressed in Santa Claus suits, and as they make their getaway, one trips and …

Civil Wars was one of my favorite TV shows when it aired. I was highly disappointed when it was canceled so quickly. The show starred Mariel Hemingway, Peter Onorati (who was clearly etched on my brain for Cop Rock, which I adored), Debi Mazar, and Alan Rosenberg, …

I wasn’t real impressed with The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Day It Rained Forever, a story of this science fiction anthology series that originally was seen on television in November 1990. The acting was okay, but I wasn’t taken by the story. It was slow, lacked much …

Airing in March 1968, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Edge of Doom was the 24th show of this fourth season. The show starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. This is a bit of a mystery show, and the …

The Twilight Zone: Uncle Simon is a show that I can’t stand watching. It just feels like it doesn’t matter, like it’s a show that makes no sense. It’s just out there. There isn’t a message really; it’s just a piece of drama that has a …

Wagon Train: The Clara Beauchamp Story is from the first season and is the thirteen episode. Nina Foch, considered a fine dramatic actress, plays the title role. She’s an Army wife stuck in an unhappy marriage. She’s miserable and an alcoholic. He’s miserable and no …

I am a horror buff. And around Halloween, I will watch just about anything that has to do with ghosts, goblins, and the supernatural. Having watched Ghost Hunters for a few seasons, I have been spoiled. I love Jay and Grant’s approach to seeking out paranormal …

After a slumping first half of its season, HBO’s True Blood is finally gaining momentum in its 3.6 episode “I Got a Right to Sing the Blues”. With Bill Compton revealed as disloyal and Eric Northman entering the house of King Russell under false pretences, seemingly in order to …

M*A*S*H: A Holy Mess revolves around two basic plots. One concerns eggs that a Korean farmer donates for work that the 4077th has done. Since having eggs is a rarity, the camp goes wild with eager anticipation. Many want their eggs (each will get 2 eggs …

CHiPs: Rally ‘Round the Bank has one element I’ve actually remembered for years, going back to when the episode first aired on February 3, 1979. In the episode, Frank Poncherello’s mother shows up unexpectedly for a visit. This creates some light humor at the beginning as Ponch …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky Is Falling, the sixth show of the series, and it opens with what I’m sure is footage from some ‘B’ horror movie. It looked really familiar to me, but I can’t place it. It’s always a hoot to …

Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana isn’t really a favorite episode of this series for me, but it still has some good moments. Dick Van Dyke is so good that he takes the mediocre and makes it worth watching. In this first season outing, Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan checks …

Even after well over a decade since it was last on our screens, apart from a rather badly conceived “Back to Earth” special shown in 2009, Red Dwarf remains - at least as far as I am concerned - the greatest of all science fiction sitcoms. The BBC stuck …

What do you do when you have a perfectly good pilot that has never been seen by a TV series’ audience? You incorporate it into the show the viewers are watching. That’s what Gene Roddenberry did back in 1966. His first pilot for Star Trek, the …

Bart does some mischief and it costs Homer a lot of money. They do not have that kind of money to pay the gas company. So Marge decides to sell an old figurine. They go to the antiques store to sell this figurine. There they meet a very friendly …

When I first started watching Friends I was thirteen and I loved the show. I watched it for ten eyars and I still love the show to this day. Even the reruns make me laugh.
What’s great about it is that they talk about situations that happen in …

Greys Anatomy aired its new fall season premiere for 2009. The 2-hour event was not a let down to Grey fans. True to rumors, one of the beloved characters was indeed killed off the show. I will not spoil and say who but if you follow the show then …

I so loved Dexter Season 6 episode 7 titled “Nebraska”. As his dear friend Brother Sam passed on, Dexter (Michael C Hall) has seemed to lost the light that he found. This time, his Dark Passenger, in the form of his late brother (The Ice Truck Killer) is …

I absolutely love House M.D. on Fox. House is one of the best shows on TV. I have watched every episode from the beginning and I have to say this show never gets old.
One of my favorite parts of the show is Dr. Gregory House’s attitude. He just …

The X-Factor live shows are back. This used to be considered prime time viewing for me on a Saturday night, but I do feel as though the format is dragging a bit. The fact that Simon Cowell decided to allow a wild card selection for each judge shows that …

This season of The Office has several hour-long episodes. I think they may be a mistake. I enjoy The Office but it is best in short chunks. At first, I just thought these longer episodes were just weaker writing, but the writing has been good, I just find myself …

Last night was the first time I had a chance to watch the Futurama episode “Love’s Labours Lost in Space.” And, for the most part, it wasn’t terrible.
Basically, the Planet Express team is sent on a tax deductible charity mission to rescue animals from a planet that is about …

Stargate SG-1: Rules of Engagement is a third-season episode of the successful series, and it’s one I enjoy watching. The team stumbles upon a training base setup by Apophis, whom they believe is dead. The purpose of the base is to help aliens act more like the …
