From June 1957, Highway Patrol: Hired Killer was one of the last episodes of the police drama’s second season to air. It was definitely watchable, if only for the curiosity about the title character, the unnamed killer.
Len Hendry played a hired gun who shows up to take down …

It was just a few shows back where we got to see Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) stand up to a bully on The Andy Griffith Show. This time around, it’s not a bully that the young boy has to deal with it, but a new friend who is …

OK, wooden puppets are a bit creepy and after the movie Child’s Play, any doll that can talk makes me a bit nervous. So, I liked the concept behind the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “The Puppet Show.”
The school puts on a talent show and Buffy and her friends …

Dexter is certainly not the sort of show I would think of ordinarily watching. As someone who isn’t keen on blood or gore at the best of times the last thing I would think of watching is something as macabre as this.
So what is it all about? Well, the …

Playing into what is popular at the time is what South Park seems to aim for these days, and this episode, entitled “Whale Whores”, is a prime example of this. The Japanese travel around killing dolphins and whales, and it is up to Stan, who takes over an anti …

And away we go! It was Jackie Gleason’s turn to be honored as the Man of the Hour on the The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast which took place in one of the showrooms in Las Vegas. The dais did include some Honeymooner alumni, and I was happy …

My first beef with tonight’s two-hour show is that the first half-hour was a review. I would have liked to have known that in advance. Traditionally, they’ve put review shows as a separate entity. Nevertheless, the real meat of the show was, of course, the dancing.
Melissa …

As much as you would like to knock Joey Tribbiani on the head most of the time, you can’t help feeling a bit of love for him. He is the struggling actor in the hit series sitcom Friends, which is not in the making anymore. Such a pity, …

Stargate SG-1: Paradise Lost is one of the wildcards I mention in my standard season six reviews. It’s pretty darn good, but the reason for that is that a good part of the action is off-world, and it’s just Jack and Harry Maybourne.
Maybourne is tired of running. …

Alias Smith and Jones: The Legacy of Charlie O’Rourke is the final episode of season one, and it features a superb actress in Joan Hackett. Also in the cast are Billy Green Bush in the title role of Charlie O’Rourke and J.D. Cannon, who makes his second appearance …

M*A*S*H: Hawkeye Get Your Gun is an episode from the fifth season to this stellar comedy about the Korean War that I have issues with in terms of what happens in the plot; at least, at one specific point.
Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) and Chief Surgeon Hawkeye Pierce (Alan …

Abbey & Janice: Beauty and the Best was a one-off series shown in 2008 on Living TV and I have just watched the whole series on BT Vision. The attraction for me was that the —˜Janice’ of the title is the self-proclaimed —˜world’s first supermodel’ Janice Dickinson who, …

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 …

I finally got a chance to watch the entire episode of The Simpsons called “Little Girl in the Big Ten.” This one proved to be pretty darn funny.
Lisa is enrolled in gymnastics and, because she is the same size as the college girls enrolled in class, they naturally assume …

This is regarded as a classic episode, and that regard is well warranted. The episode does everything just about perfectly. It builds up tension and suspense, gives the characters a unique adversary, and allows the characters to really shine as they are pushed to the edge by …

In ways, I was disappointed in Dead Like Me: My Room because the advancement of the mother and daughter storyline that had begun two episodes back more or less went down the tubes here. I just didn’t like the downward spiral that was continuing here between Joy and …

While Season 8 left us Family Guy fans with some great episodes, there were a few that left something to be desired, so I was really looking forward to the first episode of Season 9. I was waiting to be Wowed. …

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 …

Stargate SG-1: Bane gives us a lot of big,huge, honkin’ bugs, as Jack O’Neill says. Opening scene is a hoot; I love it. Essentially, Teal’c gets stung and then has a really nasty reaction.
One of the pleasures of this episode is Tom McBeath as Harry Maybourne. …

“The Boneyard” is a very good episode of NCIS. Fornell is back which is always fun for viewers as we get to see the Fornell/Gibbs dynamic that is always entertaining to watch.

After watching this, I have to admit there is a light hearted feel the whole way through. But in contrast the Castaways go through a phase of insecurity and doubt all because Gilligan decided to write in his diary that offsets the balance. I find a lot of Gilligan’s …

Directed by Charles Haid, which might explain Michael Warren being in this episode since both appeared on Hill Steet Blues, Criminal Minds: Devil’s Night had its moments that served to entertain to an extent. The story concerned what is has been an annual event in Detroit in recent …

Always Sunny is probably one of the best shows I have ever seen and if you love comedy then you should look into season 1 on DVD because it is just $40 and it comes along with season 2 in the set. This may sound like a great deal …

Highway Patrol: Mountain Copter was a show that just had me pulling out my hair from the way the action went down. However, it’s not the fault of the show, but rather the changing times.
For example, never in a billion years today would you see the ranger at …

Hey, look at that. I came across back-to-back Simpsons episodes tonight and they were both Christmas related.

Another of my favorite ninety minute, color episodes of Wagon Train is The Robert Harrison Clarke Story. It guest stars Michael Rennie, who was a terrific actor. He plays Clarke, an Englishmen who is traveling through the west to basically disprove the many things he’s read in …
