Leverage the TV Series
When Leverage started out its first season last year, it showed great promise. I was excited to watch because it sounded like Robin Hood to me. It also reminded me of The A-Team in the 80s which I followed diligently. Leverage revolves around a story about thieves who band …
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1, Episode 17
A copycat killer is hitting Manhattan while the actual killer is sitting on death row or is he? A young woman makes her way to a bar on the Upper East Side, where she hits on a young woman at the bar. As they continue to talk, she learns …
Dead Like Me: A Cook
I just hate stories that have animals in them because I worry about what will happen to the animal. It’s all fiction, I realize, but in the ‘it’s just TV’ world, I can deal with anything that happens to a human being because it’s by choice, but I …
Highway Patrol: Prisoner Exchange Copter TV Show
This 30th outing from Season 4 of Highway Patrol, a half hour police drama starring Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, is entitled Prisoner Exchange Copter. I was rather glad to see another show that gave us helicopters in the plot. If you go back and count …
The Twilight Zone: The Long Morrow TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Long Morrow is one of the decent season five episodes. In fact, I find it hard to watch, not because of the quality but because I feel so darn bad for the two main characters. It’s a real heartbreaker, one of those fate …
Highway Patrol: The Judge TV Show
From May 1958, Highway Patrol: The Judge had some good elements to it, along with some really dumb bits. In short, we have an escapee from prison named Baker (Robert Courtleigh), who wants nothing more than revenge against the judge who put him behind bars.
Paul Cavanagh guest stars …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 23 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 23 has Spike, Jet, Ed and Faye all after the leader of a strange cult after its members start committing suicide.
This was one of the weirdest episodes of the entire anime. It’s visually interesting but I got a little dizzy because the images were …
Private Eye: Barrio Nights
Private Eye: Barrio Nights, which aired originally on November 6, 1987 was a typical show about the barrio section of Los Angeles. I wish I could say there was something new or exciting about the episode, but I can’t. It’s a plot seen and used many times, …
Stargate: Infinity: Greed TV Show
This show opens with more education dealing with a phrase that says someone is worth their salt. Salary comes from the word salt. This was Ec’co’s lesson to Draga that started Stargate: Infinity: Greed. We get a lot of these little words of wisdom and messages …
Probe: Computer Logic
I’d actually forgotten about the Probe TV series until a friend sent me a DVD or two with the episodes on it. I did watch it and enjoy the show, brief as it was, when it aired originally. In the first episode, Computer Logic, we are introduced …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Piano TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel was a western series that I watched a lot as a child. I think I liked it better back then, but still, I’ve been enjoying catching the reruns on TV these days. The show being reviewed here is called The Piano. …
House: Wilson
Last night’s episode of House was actually quite good. It still didn’t have a case that was overly hard to diagnose but at least Wilson got more air time than a quick cameo appearance. In fact, the entire episode was really about him and his involvement with one of …
Dog The Bounty Hunter Show
I have a strange and most likely unhealthy fascination with this show. The scenery is definitely part of it (Hawaii is beautiful, and an interesting locale for this sort of show). But it is Dog and his family that make the show so unusual and unique.
Dog is …
Good Eats
I just finished watching an episode of “Good Eats.” The episode was about making homemade bacon. The plot of this show was “Scrap Iron Chef” and the secret ingredient was Pork belly. Alton Brown competed against a midwest native to see who could make the best …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided TV show
I just adore Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided for several reasons. The first is that this is one of those shows where just about every regular has their moment. It’s not easy to do that in an ensemble show like this one, but it’s …
Heroes - Fall Finale
Monday night’s episode of Heroes brought us to a conclusion of the current storyline and the Villains storyline. I thought it was a good idea to end the storyline at this point rather than dragging it out through the second half of the season. The show was …
Project Runway: Race to the Finish TV Show
Project Runway: Race to the Finish had a challenge that involved L’oreal makeup, specifically eye shadow duos. The challenge was attached to a word like ‘bright’ or ‘velvet’ and it was to be a high fashion runway look.
As often happens so it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, …
To Boldly Go … Season One featurette
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 …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.2 - Couples Therapy
Episode 2 of the second season picks up right after the last one left off with the conversation at the diner. In addition to the “rape” revelations between the two grown men, Feldman also brings up that Haim bad-mouthed him in a couple of recent interviews. The whole back …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 15
Alan Shore was consulted by a former friend Feliz about a possible legal action. Feliz had a daughter Melissa who can’t smile. She had nerve damage from a car accident. Melissa already underwent surgery in order to correct the problem but it didn’t work. She had a bad …
Star Trek: Metamorphosis TV Show
Star Trek: Metamorphosis isn’t in my top favorites, but it is a solid episode that gives us some history as well. The premise is that a shuttle from the Enterprise is heading back to the ship after picking up a rather opinionated and ungrateful Ambassador Nancy Hedford (Elinor …
Tool Academy 3
For some reason I have always been attracted to watching the reality television series “Tool Academy” which has been airing from time to time on the American cable television channel VH1. Tool Academy 3 was the most recent one which has a more variety of couples this time, to …
Paris Hilton’s My New BFF
I don’t understand why in the world Paris Hilton has multiple season on television where she is actually looking for a new best friend. Even weirder than that, is that television networks could even seriously consider airing a show for more than one season wherein people line up …
Heroes tv program
This show is really good, the first couple of episodes I was non-plussed, but now it has me really sucked in and I find I HAVE to watch every week. It follows a group of seemingly unrelated people who suddenly develop special powers and how they try …
The Good Wife: VIP Treatment TV Show
This hour of The Good Wife, titled VIP Treatment, was interesting because it was self contained in many ways, which honestly surprised me. There was actually not all that much of Julianna Margulies in my opinion. I felt like the concentration of the camera was more on …
Laramie: The Lawbreakers
Laramie: The Lawbreakers is a really entertaining episode with some neat humor in it. It all surrounds Judge Barnaby Cade, a convicted robber about to be released from jail. Years ago, his gang got away with a lot of money that has never been found. The …
Daytime TV: All My Children
Daytime television wouldn’t be the same if it didn’t include All My Children. All My Children has been a daytime tv staple in many people’s homes for many years. With characters like Erica Kane, Adam Chandler, Tad Martin and Liza Colby, Pine Valley is still just as interesting today …
Merry Little Christmas
Each time I watch House this season he seems to keep digging himself into a deeper hole and I’m really starting to wonder just how he’s going to get out of it.
During the last episode, Merry Little Christmas, House’s friend Wilson confesses in order to cut House a deal, …
CHiPs: Name Your Price
In CHiPs: Name Your Price, Ponch (Erik Estrada) gets a chance to be on a game show that is something like The Price is Right. I don’t think I’m spoiling anything when I say that Ponch is right on for the entire show until he has to price …
Trinity blood episode 1 Flight Night
Trinity blood episode 1: Flight Night is a example of an post-apocalyptic vampire story done right. With a dash of humor and some thirteen cubes of sugar, Trinity blood manages to deliver a engaging story and endearing characters, such as Father Abel Nightroad. After Armageddon, vampires or “Methuselah” were …
The Cleveland Show
My family has been watching the show Family Guy for some time now (at least until our 5-year-old started repeating some of the stuff she shouldn’t have and we took a break from it) so we were interested when we learned there was going to be a spin-off starring …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Peter Marshall TV Show
Taped in Las Vegas, The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast honored game show host and entertainer, Peter Marshall, as the Man of the Hour. He’s one of those I have to wonder why they were being roasted, which was the topic of Joey Bishop’s roasting bit, which had a …
Masquerade: Oil
Masquerade: Oil took us to Rome, the city of love, where the National Intelligence Agency operatives were trying to foil the villains of the piece. The villains are a bunch of Arabs who kidnapped Americans in Kuwait. They took the workers from an oil field and locked …
Voyagers!: Merry Christmas, Bogg
Honestly, I’d forgotten just how much Meeno Peluce cried during the Voyagers! series. He could compete with Doris Day, June Allyson, and Margaret O’Brien for being able to turn those tears on and off. It’s amazing. However, it’s not the best crier. He’s just able to …
The Whole Truth: Thicker Than Water TV Show
Thicker Than Water is the second episode of the new series, The Whole Truth, that is produced in an intriguing two-part style where we see action happening on the prosecution side and then back up in time and see what the defense has been doing at the same …
Stargate SG-1: Message in a Bottle
Stargate SG-1: Message in a Bottle is a good episode that isn’t a big favorite, but is still a very enjoyable show with some nice moments in it.
In this second season program, SG-1 finds an object off-world and bring it back to the SGC to study. This is …
M*A*S*H: The Party
M*A*S*H: The Party is actually a very fun episode. It has a completely new plot that is exciting and touching. After a mail call where it’s suggested that B.J.’s wife write to Radar’s mom and Colonel Potter’s wife about jam and preserves, B.J. gets this idea to …
Oprah TV Show
I think Oprah Winfrey as a person is awesome. And I used to love watching Oprah TV Show pretty much, but lately I simply have lost interest. I don’t know; I feel very happy that someone as Oprah is very kind-hearted enough to feature lots of great and …
Burn Notice Season 2 DVD set
The Burn Notice Season 2 DVD set is a four disk set containing all the episodes from the second season. Each disk has a nice color photo of one of the show’s four stars — Jeffrey Donovan, Gabrielle Anwar, Bruce Campbel, and Sharon Gless. This makes them …
Adam-12: Log 135: Arson
Watching Adam-12: Log 135: Arson reminds me a lot of what I’ve been hearing in the news lately. Studies show that human recollection of an observed event really isn’t as wonderful as was once thought. What we witness changes in our minds. That’s why many believe …
That Girl: Mission Improbable Part 2
That Girl: Mission Improbable Part 2 begins with the usual review of things that happened in the prior week’s opening episode where actress Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) agrees to spy on a sleep wear manufacturer’s competitor. She goes to work as a seamstress for the competitor, though she …
The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set
Earlier this year, I was gifted with The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set, which contains all 65 episodes of the science fiction series on 5 DVDs. I’ve just finished reviewing the episodes, so now it’s time to take a look at the DVD set itself.
There are plenty of highs …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Superstar
It has been a while since I’ve seen the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Jonathan. The last time we saw him was during season three, when he attempts to kill himself and Buffy stops him.
We see him again in the episode “Superstar” only this time he is a member of …
Fireball XL5: The Day the Earth Froze
I do have a few comments and reactions about Fireball XL5: The Day the Earth Froze, which is one of 39 total black and white programs coming from the mind of puppet pioneer Gerry Anderson. One of which is that this show really has a thing for ice …
