Have Gun - Will Travel: Never Help the Devil TV Show
Never Help the Devil is the 31st episode of the third season of Have Gun - Will Travel. It still amazes me how far down we’ve fallen, going from a glorious time when there were close to 40 shows in a season and now we think 13 works. …
Hell Date (BET TV show)
I watched this show a little while ago and was kind of interested. At first I didn’t realize that it was actually a prank show. The daters (usually the women) are actually actresses hired by BET to make the dates unbearable. The dates can take all …
South Park: WTF
The point of South Park is to put ignorant children into adult situations, knowing they would have no idea what was going on. While it has strayed from this ideal a quite a bit, it is nice to see an episode that involves many of the major characters at …
M*A*S*H: Operation Noselift
Todd Susman and Stuart Margolin guest star in M*A*S*H: Operation Noselift from the second season of this stellar war comedy set in Korea. Susman plays Private Danny Baker who keeps going AWOL. He’s upset about his nose and wants plastic surgery. Trying to help Baker, Hawkeye …
Private Eye: Both Sides of the Coin
From 1987, Private Eye: Both Sides of the Coin is one show of this crime adventure drama that I really couldn’t get into. The story somewhat when in my eyes and ears and right out of my head. It’s a scam plot, and they’re a dime a …
Laramie: Bare Knuckles
Laramie: Bare Knuckles focuses a bit more on Hoagy Carmichael and his character of Jonesy, the family friend who is essentially the cook and housekeeper, as well as doing ranch hand chores. Jonesy was mild mannered and laid back, but he had a lot of gumption and was …
Broadway’s Lost Treasures - The Musicals compilation TV Show
Broadway’s Lost Treasures - The Musicals was compiled in 2003 and offered on VHS and DVD 17 wonderful performances that had been included on the Tony Awards over the years. Angela Lansbury does an introduction and then Jerry Orbach does the intros to the first few specific segments. …
Big Brother: Eviction September 2, 2010 TV Show
The Big Brother Eviction show from September 2, 2010 was memorable for one very important reason: Matt had to deal with the wrath of those in the Jury House.
Viewers haven’t really seen much of the Jury House this season. The show used to make a big deal out …
Ghost Hunters International
Last night was the first time I actually took some time to watch the show Ghost Hunters International with my wife. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible program. But, I’m not sure if it was as good as I expected it to be.
I’ve watched the American version of the show …
Comedy Central Roast of Rosanne
Over the years that I have watched the Comedy Central Roasts, I have liked some and disliked others. Most of the Roasts have not been very amusing with one or two funny comedians who graced the stage, while others are just down-right terrible. I did want to see the …
A Capitol Fourth TV Show
This was the 30th anniversary of A Capitol Fourth, which aired on PBS and was hosted by Jimmy Smits. Smits certainly had a lot of drama in his hosting. He was full of energy and vibrated enthusiasm for the nation’s historic birthday. This is the show …
The X-Files Sleepless Episode
Like many other episodes of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files” I thought this one was also quite interesting. In fact, I can remember a familiar face of an actor in there who seems to star in many B-Movies such as “The Candyman” and “The Strange Case …
Family Guy: Lethal Weapons
Some episodes of Family Guy are really funny and enjoyable to watch. There are even a few I’ll let my daughter watch. But, I wasn’t impressed by the episode Lethal Weapons.
The episode itself didn’t start out too bad. The town is infested with tourists from New York and, to …
Dancing with the stars TV show
Dancing with the stars is a lame, boring, pointless and unbearable show to watch. I have seen many shows that sucked but this show takes the cake. I think the concept is so dumb, having celebrities pair up and dance with professional dancers and than they are judged each …
Fox´s House M.D.
Let me explain something from the very beginning: House M. D. is not a medical TV show but a drama with touches of humour that, incidentally, takes place in a hospital.
Gregory House is a doctor of about forty-five years that heads the Diagnosis Unit of the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching …
Due South: Vault
I have to say that I was disappointed that we didn’t get more of the boys in Canada. Apparently, it was just for the first episode. I really wish we’d been able to see the cabin being rebuilt. It’s a shame that we’re back in Chicago so …
The Simpsons Season 7 Episode 10
It is The Simpsons 138 episode and they have named it Spectacular Episode. Basically this episode accounts for all the previous episodes of The Simpsons when they featured on the Tracy Ullman show. I must say, the animation has improved a lot. Compared to what it was, which was …
M*A*S*H: Officer of the Day
M*A*S*H: Officer of the Day focuses on Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) being the officer of the day, whether he wants to be or not, and of course, he doesn’t want to be the man in charge. Having no choice, though, he wanders the camp, doing his duties as …
The Cleaner: Five Little Words
The Cleaner: Five Little Words is an intriguing episode from the show’s first season. It’s one that is full of flashbacks where we see some of what William Banks (Benjamin Bratt) has gone through as he battled drugs in the past. We get to see how he …
Star Trek: The Eye of the Beholder TV Show
I get a kick out of Star Trek: The Eye of the Beholder. The basic premise isn’t really a new one, but I like the way it was done in this 1974 animated outing. What happens is that while on a rescue mission, Kirk and his landing …
The Fall Guy: The Human Torch TV Show
One thing about The Fall Guy, it has an old school opening that you just don’t see much anymore. The full theme plus standard intro in this first season lasts almost three minutes. In this era of 10 second, title only spots, this feels like forever. …
Beast Wars - Call of the Wild
Beast Wars - Call of the Wild is an episode that I found a little on the boring side even though the basic concept is an interesting one: what would happen if the Maximals were forced to stay in beast mode for an extended period of time? Apparently, according …
Burn Notice - Sins of Omission
Burn Notice has been on the USA Channel for a couple of years now, but I’d never really given it a big chance until Michael Shanks guest starred on a show last year. This season, Michael returned for three appearances. The first was just a small bit …
That Girl: Should All Our Old Acquaintance Be Forgot
One of the things I like about That Girl is that they celebrate a lot of the holidays, or at least acknowledge them. Some shows may do Christmas, but that’s about it, so this is quite nice. The occasion here is New Year’s Eve, and to welcome …
SmallVille
When I was a child, I just love to watch Superman, and till now I love to watch him. And this TV show called “Smallville” is based upon the day today life story of Superman. Watching his normal life is really cool, and I am watching this series from …
DC Cupcakes: Pupcakes TV Show
DC Cupcakes: Pupcakes was the second outing for this series about a couple of sisters and their relatives who run a highly successful cupcake bakery in Washington D.C., specifically in the Georgetown segment.
The focus in this thirty minutes of cooking drama is on two things: the need to let …
The Danny Thomas Show: Jack Benny Takes Danny’s Job TV Show
Jack Benny did a couple of appearances on The Danny Thomas Show (later known as Make Room for Daddy). This one, Jack Benny Takes Danny’s Job, was from the sixth season in 1958.
I adore the opening segment, which is an adorable scene of father and daughter playing. …
M*A*S*H: Private Finance
M*A*S*H: Private Finance deals with a wounded soldier, Private Eddie Hastings, who makes Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) promise to send his money home to his parents, should he die, which he did. The problem is that the man had almost $9,000, which is an incredible amount. After …
Cablevision- Optimum service
To choose the cable service is a no brainier in east coast of USA. As there are only two service providers Verizon and Cablevision. But what to choose from is the difficult part. Well we had cablevision- optimum service since 4 years. If you are a new member then …
Family Guy - Season 9
For a show that got canceled twice before, Family Guy had been doing a great job in giving exactly what it had promised, 30 minutes of funny jokes and scenes where you ask yourself what movies they took that from. Yet, …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jack Klugman TV Show
Again from the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas, The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast honored another celebrity, that being Jack Klugman who starred in The Odd Couple and later Quincy M.E.
Overall, I was disappointed with this outing for the roast show. I didn’t feel like there was much of …
Bored to Death Season 1 Episode 1
I have to say that the episode and the TV show itself really exceeded my expectations. The only reason why I watched it, was the name of the show- Bored to Death. It seemed so strange and unusual; I got really curious and just had to take a …
Burn Notice: Trust Me
My first reaction to Burn Notice: Trust Me wasn’t positive. There was a lot of ’she’s not my girlfriend’ type of stuff, which is so second grade in my mind. It just ruined any chance I had to even want to watch this episode. While I …
Life Beyond Trek: Leonard Nimoy featurette
This feature, Life Beyond Trek: Leonard Nimoy, is really fascinating. As the title indicates, it delves into Nimoy’s life beyond the famous Star Trek series. In his case, it doesn’t even involve acting. In this wonderful piece, the man shares with viewers his love of photography.
I’ve …
Denise Richards: It’s Complicated
Denise Richards: It’s Complicated is a reality show created by Ryan Seacrest for E! cable network. The original air date was May of 2008 for United States audiences and this is a thirty minute program with regular commercial breaks.
This series focuses on Denise Richard’s life after the breakup and …
That 70s Show: Fez dates Donna
I happened to turn on a re-run of That 70s Show this afternoon; Fez Dates Donna and found it was absolutely hillarious.
This episode had Fez pretending to be Donna’s girlfriend to avoid some former girlfriend who is stalking him. During that time, you have Eric feeling jealous and going …
Street Hawk: Female of the Species
Street Hawk: Female of the Species had Dennis Franz as a guest star. I’m not crazy about him, so that really didn’t do much for me. I was more intrigued by Paul Rossilli, who played a wealthy, highly public figure named Steven Cavanaugh. Think John F. …
Top Chef: Just Desserts TV Show
The latest show from Bravo is another version of the successful property, Top Chef. Top Chef: Just Desserts is hosted by Gail Simmons, who also judges regular on the original Top Chef competitions.
I’m going to start with what I didn’t like about this show. It took a …
M*A*S*H: The Bus
What I like about M*A*S*H: The Bus is that it’s all done away from the 4077th and is more about the character interaction than gimmicks; at least, for the most part.
Colonel Potter, Hawkeye Pierce, B.J. Huneycutt, Frank Burns, and Radar O’Reilly are returning from an event on the 4077th’s …
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened TV Show
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened is a flight of fancy in a sense in that it’s hard to tell what the reality is. Even at the end of the show, I’m not sure we know the reality. Was it that people and property …
Spongebob Squarepants: Atlantis SquarePantis
My daughter loves watching Spongebob Squarepants. So, when we found out there was a television movie coming out called Atlantis SquarePantis, we made sure to watch it. Overall, it was an OK show but really wasn�t anything special.
The �movie� featured Spongebob and his friends discovering the lost city of …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Caravan TV Show
From February 1963, Have Gun - Will Travel: Caravan is the 24th outing of this western’s sixth and final season on television. It’s a combination of action, drama, and romance, all crushed into a thirty minute format. The long and short of it is that Paladin hires …

MacGyver: Ma Dalton
Jack Dalton is back and back as being annoying in this episode of MacGyver called Ma Dalton. I’ve been reminded that when he’s calm and not scheming, he can be a fun character, but when he’s scheming and roping Mac into his crap, I just can’t stand him. …
Undercover Boss Australia: Domino’s Pizza TV Show
This review is for Undercover Boss Australia: Domino’s Pizza, which was the first episode of the series filmed for Australian television. In it, Don Meij, CEO of Dominos goes out and about. He runs the facility for Australia, New Zealand, France, and two other countries.

The Simpson’s: Barting Over
Our infant daughter took a while to fall asleep last night so I ended up sitting up with her and watched the late episode of The Simpson’s. It happened to be the one entitled “Barting Over.”
This one was somewhat funny. Bart discovers he made a commercial when he was …
