From season 9, this episode of The Carol Burnett Show featured guest stars Tony Randall and Dick Van Dyke along with Burnett and regulars Harvey Gorman and Vicki Lawrence. Sadly, Tim Conway was “on vacation” this week.
Here are the observations about this outing of the hit comedy and …

When Thriller: A Third for Pinochle began, I had visions of this show being a copy of Arsenic and Old Lace, but it wasn’t. Certainly, it had some of that attitude and feel because of the two elderly sisters featured in the hour long drama, but there’s really …

Boris Karloff did his amazing introduction and exodus of Thriller: Waxworks from the second year of the anthology show. The show revolved around Jacquelin’s Wax Works which is an exhibit of wax figures of famous murderers. The Twilight Zone may have gotten its idea for a Martin …

I was probably more interested in Thriller: Man of Mystery from April 1962 than I have been in most of the other shows, except maybe one that guest starred William Shatner.
This episode guest starred John Van Dreelen as Joel Stone, financier and playboy, and he’s interested in a young …

I hadn’t seen any of the Thriller episodes until this year, and I’ve been surprised at the fact that overall I’ve enjoyed them. However, like Dead Legacy which I had just watched, The Weird Tailor is another show that focuses on the occult. This series likes devil …

Thriller: Dark Legacy was from the first season of this science fiction series. The anthology show was headlined by Boris Karloff, who introduced the tale in his special style. Sometimes Karloff’s bit are more entertaining than the rest of the hour. In the case of …

From May 1961, Thriller: The Prisoner in the Mirror was one of the first episodes I’d seen of this science fiction anthology. I love the opening with Boris Karloff. From watching this show and others, Karloff does a nice opening and sometimes closing, but what makes it …

When I first saw the name Red Shirt Logs as pertaining to the Star Trek franchise, I assumed these featurettes, of which there are four that I’ve seen, would deal with the many instances when minor characters wearing the red uniforms were killed. This reality has become well …

What can I say about the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards that were recently held in Las Vegas, Nevada? Well, there’s not a lot of good to say. The daytime genre is dying, a victim of cable and technology as well as the lack of inventive …

Underwater Shrine. episode 23 from the second season of Sea Hunt, had deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson in the ocean waters with a pair of archaeologists who happen to be married.

Cupcake Wars: Ace of Cakes 100th Episode Celebration was geared towards the running pleasing the owner and star of the Food Network’s “Ace of Cakes” series. His name is Duff and he hates cupcakes, but here he was, eating and judging four contestants, the winner of which would …

For the 2010 Independence Day holiday, a special called America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theater was presented. I liked this hour long show, but I wish it had featured some holiday music in it. Instead, we had a lot of pop music and some other songs, …

–I still love Kent. He’s a small town …

From Season 2 of Sea Hunt, the 24th episode was Chain of Evidence. In this half hour segment of the adventure series, Lloyd Bridges’ character of deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson is in another country and ends up being sucked into that country’s political woes. It’s …

I love the opening of The Sanctuary, which is the 33rd episode of the sixth and final season of Have Gun - Will Travel. There’s a rather smug man named Captain Zimmerman who is playing a round of chess with several men at the same time. He’s …

Junior Apprentice Episode 6 is the final challenge for the four remaining teenagers who are vying to be appointed as Lord Alan Sugar’s junior apprentice, although the reality is they are getting money and not a job. However, Sugar will be overseeing the large cash award to ensure …

Junior Apprentice Episode 5 had some added fun in it when the Instinct and Revolution teams were awakened and told they would be flying to Amsterdam in the Netherlands for the new challenge. These teams are made up of 16 and 17 year old kids who all think …

Junior Apprentice Episode 4 had Lord Alan Sugar sending his apprentice hopefuls on a mission to find and sell art. I’ve seen this type of challenge before, and it’s always an interesting one. Basically, the teams visit several artists and then pick two they want to have …

Junior Apprentice Episode 3 had the two teams of apprentice wannabes, Instinct and Revolution, going to a crystal store where they were told their task was to make and sell cupcakes. Once again, Lord Alan Sugar changed things up by switching two of the players, taking Arjun and …

Junior Apprentice Episode 1 began by introducing the viewers to the 10 contestants selected from 28,000 applicants to vie to be Lord Alan Sugar’s junior apprentice. Now I remember watching the first regular Apprentice and found it very interesting. Sugar operates differently from Donald Trump and for …

This was the third week of the daytime drama Days of Our Lives’ celebration of the life of matriarch, Alice Horton. Horton was played by the late Frances Reid and instead of just giving her a token 2-day memorial as many of their contemporary soap operas would have, …

This edition of Cupcake Wars was a competition whereby the winner would be presenting their cupcakes on display at an OK Magazine matchmaking party. Cupcakes are apparently becoming a hot and trendy thing around the country, something that fascinates me to a point. I’ve always loved cupcakes, …

The funny thing about the Bob Wire episode of Have Gun - Will Travel from season six is that I didn’t realize the title was the name of a character. I was thinking it was an object, like barbed wire. Alas, Bob Wire is the name of …

For the most part, I love America’s Dancing with the Stars, so it was with curiosity that I watched Australia’s version of it recently. This was the 10th season premier of the Oz version. Here are a few observations.
–It’s basically the same type of set, with the …

Water Ski Show was the twenty-second episode of Sea Hunt’s second season on the air. The title pretty much states what the focus of this particular episode was. We have Mike Nelson, our resident underwater expert when it comes to deep sea diving, helping out some stunt …

The twenty-second episode of Highway Patrol’s second year on the air was titled Suspected Cop, and it is an episode that I did like because it focused on a theme it hadn’t yet tackled. In this half hour outing, Officer Stan Johnson, a regular played by William Boyett …

I have been watching reality television every since the real world Hawaii came out. I have since then been a fan of reality television. Now a days the whole television scene and entertainment is surrounded by reality shows. I was sitting up at home one day skipping through the …

This is possibly one of the best Dr. Who episodes out there. Doctor Who Pyramids of Mars has 4 episodes and together it is 96 minutes long. Tom Baker plays the Dr. and his assistant in this episode is Sarah Jane played by Elisabeth Sladen. Typically I do not …

Lego Star Wars is a fun and exciting game for the Wii. I bought this game for my kids as a present and they have had hours of fun with it. I also love that I can play it with them and have just as much fun. Every time …

This show I would say is an okay show. It’s not the best but it’s not the worst show in the world either. It kind of reminds me of Family Guy, but Family Guy is better. But it sort of does the same thing. It makes fun of normal …

I started watching this show well after it got cancelled. They have stopped filming for a while now but the show was so successful that they still continue to play the episodes. And people still watch them. The main characters are now just doing movies or directing, all very …

This used to be my absolute favorite show when I was younger. I am still so sad that there will never be a new episode again. But luckily, they are still showing reruns and probably always will because it was such a successful show. I would watch it every …

This is such a weird show because it is about a weird topic. Everyone on the show is literally fat, except this one girl who is skinnier than everyone else and people kind of make fun of her. I thought it was so weird that someone would make fun …

While looking for food, the group comes across another Earthbender. It’s funny how this chapter is called “Water” and, Katara notwithstanding, we haven’t really seen any water benders. We’ve seen more of the fire and earth benders, but I’m sure we’ll see them in time.
When they greet …
