Laramie: Ladies Day TV Show
Laramie: Ladies Day continued to set up the ‘new’ Laramie. There was a desire to return the series to that family setup which it had had originally in season one. Because of the cast departures of Hoagy Carmichael and Robert Crawford Jr. in the second season, the …
M*A*S*H: Yessir, That’s Our Baby
Directed by Alan Alda, who also stars as Hawkeye Pierce, M*A*S*H: Yessir, That’s Our Baby tackles a delicate subject — babies born of an American G.I. and a South Korean woman. It all begins innocently enough when a baby is left outside the Swamp. A note is …
Twilight Zone: Season 1: The Execution
The twilight zone is a classic example of suspense and science fiction television. In my opinion the best episodes of the twilight zone were the ones that aired in the 1950s with Rod Serling as the narrator. An episode of the twilight zone that aired in the first season …
Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere
Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere is one of 39 episodes of this supermarionation puppet series from Gerry Anderson. What I enjoy is that the puppets really do have some great personalities. They’re pretty well rounded, all things considered.
In this show, there’s a neat scene where Professor Matt Matic …
Masquerade: Spanish Gambit
From April 1984, Masquerade: Spanish Gambit was an entertaining show to watch. It had a good supporting cast, a tad of humor, and a bit more reality to it. Part of the problem of this series in its first episodes is that nothing severe ever went wrong. …
You’re Cut Off! (reality televison series)
Recently, before my cable got cut off and I still had VH1, I had become very disinterested in all of VH1’s reality television programmes. Therefore, when I saw their new reality television series “You’re Cut Off!” advertising before its premiere, I completely dismissed it, and practically forgot about it. …
NCIS Los Angeles season 3 episode 2
Wow, what a great episode. This should have really been the first episode of the season, instead of the Romanian story they actually used in the first episode. It had all the ingredients to make an electrifying show.
In this episode, a wealthy software developer is kidnapped while exiting a …
Stargate SG1: The Ties That Bind
This episode starts with Vala leaving the SGC. Now that she has removed the bracelets that her and Daniel wore, she is free to leave and Landry wants her off the base.

The O’Reilly Factor
There are actually some things I agree with Bill O’Reilly about, but it’s just the way he says them that often grates on my nerves.
Certainly, he speaks his mind, without attention to political correctness, which is admirable, but it is a bit difficult to take the arrogance that accompanies …
Style By Jury
In Style By Jury, a Torontonian reality television show, a “jury” that consists of different professionals (lawyers, doctors, prducers, etc), judge the appearance and overall imagine of a woman who appears on the show. Before appearing on the show, the woman is informed that she will appear on that …
CSI: Las Vegas - The Descent of Man
I watched this a week or two on the computer. It is one of the episodes to the show CSI: Las Vegas. Overall it is was an alright episode. It was better than some of the episodes they have been showing but not as great as they used to …
Oprah Winfrey Network
The Mainstream Media is considered to be any news organization that delivers news. Conservatives try to portray the media as having a bias against conservatives. One of the first things that I would like to say about this is that I don’t see how you can shape …

In That Girl: Author, Author, Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) attempts to write a comedy routine for his girlfriend, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) as she tries to make it onto the finals of Talent Showcase. Actually, while the overall show isn’t its best, there are some great moments in …
90210 show
It’s been two years since I first seen the first episode of 90210 and since then, I became addicted to the series. I was not able to watch the first 90210 series which was way way back, that was like a few years ago. I was not able to …
Beast Wars - Cutting Edge
Beast Wars - Cutting Edge is an episode that has some decent action, but other than that, does not really appeal to me. For one, I do not find Cheetor developing a crush on Blackarachnia or the tension that emerges between Silverbolt and Cheetor as a result to be …
Heroes Show
If you haven’t been able to see this show from the beginning, try to see if there are reruns of the previous shows. Even if you come in now, you will get the gist of the show.
It is excellent.
I am not a big TV person. In fact, I was …
Sea Hunt: The Saint Story TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 30th show for the fourth season was called The Saint Story and it definitely had some spiritual undertones. Back then, July 1961, these type of shows weren’t uncommon and they weren’t the big deal that some would make them out to be today.
The center of the …
Sea Hunt: Cindy TV Show
From its third year of televising, Sea Hunt presented a show called Cindy, which was the 18th to air. The show was all about the attempts to rescue a little girl who has managed to get trapped inside an underwater mine.
One of the unusual aspects of this show …

I first discovered Guiding Light when I was young I can’t even remember how old I was. I used to watch it on every holiday, and during the entire Summer of vacation. As I got older and began to do teenage things my faithfulness faltered as cable television and …

In this episode, it starts off with a girl and her parents watching the latest on an epidemic or virus that is only affecting the adults; killing them. The news anchor reports there is an evacuation for all the people under eighteen years old and the girl does not …
The Virginian: The Secret of Brynmar Hall TV show
The Virginian: The Secret of Brynmar Hall was really terrific to watch. The story was completely away from Shiloh ranch and focused on Betsy Garth (Roberta Shore) and Randy Benton (Randy Boone). Betsy had been invited to spend a couple of days at Brynmar Hall, the mansion …
To Boldly Go … Season Two featurette
To Boldly Go … Season Two featurette includes some great comments about some of the classic episodes which aired during the second season of Star Trek. This includes the wonderful and most popular episode, The Trouble with Tribbles, which just about everyone calls the one and only comedy …
Wagon Train: The Cassie Vance Story
I like The Cassie Vance Story, one of the ninety minute color episodes that aired during the seventh season of the hit western, Wagon Train. Laraine Day was the guest star, and she was so wonderful to watch. She’s an accomplished actress that brought depth to the …

The Simpsons: King of the Hill
I’ve seen the Simpsons episode King of the Hill several times and it never fails to entertain me.
This is a very funny episode from beginning to end.
It starts out with the family at a church picnic and Homer embarrassing himself and Bart during a game of capture the flag …
Who’s Your Pappa - Real Housewives of Atlanta
Now I’m a huge fan of Bravo’s Real Housewives series…especially their Real Housewives of Atlanta series, mostly for the reason that it showcases that Afican Americans like other ethnic groups can enjoy the finer things in life. The episode Who’s Your Pappa with Ne Ne trying to find …
The Simpsons: No Loan Again, Naturally
One of our local stations has been showing Simpsons re-runs of episodes that are more recent and, as a result, I haven’t seen before. Last night, they showed one called No Loan Again, Naturally, which I thought was pretty good.
The episode starts out with Homer throwing a big bash …
Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 2
Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 2 makes the big transition official, but not until Jack has been unfrozen and the System Lords sent on their way.
The fun part of this episode is when Thor beams Daniel up to his ship, The Daniel Jackson. I adore that! Daniel …
The Backyardigans TV show
I am amazed at how truly entertaining and educational this show is. I’ve been watching it for a few weeks now with my six month old son. I am truly impressed. I can’t stand to watch most of the preschool programming that comes on TV. They’re usually so boring or …

Iron Chef America
One of my very favourite television shows is Iron Chef America. It is shown on the Food Network (Channel 34 on Cogeco Cable) several times a week, generally in the evenings after 9 p.m.
The premise of the television show is that chefs who are specialists in different areas …
TV Show Ugly Betty
No wonder there are a lot of hype surrounding the popular hot new TV show, Ugly Betty. Everybody loves Ugly Betty, even those who can’t understand English do. This is proven, as the show even has translations into several languages across different countries.
Perhaps it’s because everybody could …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Man Who Lost TV Show
From season two, The Man Who Lost was the 31st episode of the year. Can you imagine that? The 31st, and it wasn’t the last one! The series was Have Gun - Will Travel, starring Richard Boone as the intellectual gunfighter for hire, Paladin. Whatever …
Simpsons - The Fight Before Christmas
Christmas stories are a very popular things, especially around Christmas but the first time I saw this episode was not at Christmas time, but it was still funnier than most of the episodes before and afterwards. It was a four part story-telling with Lisa, Maggie, Marge, and Bart. I …
CBC
if you’re a Canadian, then chances are that you’ve heard of cc. It’s basically the “official” TV network in Canada. Since my house has a limited amount of TV channels, I’ve had to resort to going on CBC quite a few times when other channels were showing boring shows. …
Happy Days TV Episode: Who Gives a Hootenanny
My wife was hogging the computer this morning so, rather than being able to place an update on Facebook, I was on the couch watching early morning re-runs while having breakfast. One of the episodes was a Happy Days re-run called Who Gives a Hootenanny.
This is a later episode …
M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry
Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …
Highway Patrol: Desert Copter TV Show
Highway Patrol: Desert Copter is essentially a chase show in that California Highway Patrol Chief Dan Mathews and his men are after a killer. The criminal is Stan Warren, a very smooth operator who is well dressed and polite. However, he’s definitely dangerous.
The twist in the show …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Winner TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Winner is one of my favorite episodes of this hour long program. The catalyst for the fun is Adam McFadden’s 10 year high school class reunion and it doesn’t go completely smoothly.
Here are some of the reasons why I like Winner so very …

The Caped Crusader Caper
Like I mentioned in another review, my daughter and I were watching older Scooby Doo episodes last night that featured them teaming up with Batman and Robin.
The second episode we watched, The Caped Crusader Caper, was OK but not as good as the first meeting with Batman and Robin …
The Virginian: Jennifer TV Show
The Virginian: Jennifer is the seventh show of the fourth season, and it was a show that was necessary due to the departure of Roberta Shore as Betsy Garth. With all those cowboys on Shiloh Ranch, they needed a woman. Thus, Judge Henry Garth (Lee J. Cobb) …
The Amazing Race: In Phil We Trust TV Show
The 17th season rolls on with The Amazing Race: In Phil We Trust in which the teams are in the African nation of Ghana. There were several things I noted about this hour long episode and some of those are noted below:
–The teams had a challenge where they …
Mr. Monk and the Bully
OK, the Monk episode Mr. Monk and the Bully still doesn’t live up to the standards set by earlier seasons of the show (I can kind of understand why there’s only going to be one more season of the series since they seem to be running out of storylines) …
