The Ghostbusters are experiencing a financial drought. There have been lulls in business before, but this seems to be one of the more serious cases as they are buried in debt and there don’t seem to be any new clients coming in. Egon speculates that there may …

As I mentioned before, I finally got a chance to watch some newer episodes of the show Futurama last night and, while I was impressed with the first one I watched (The Duh-Vinci Code), the one I enjoyed even more was the one entitled Lethal Inspection.
The thing I liked …

Everyone was asleep early last night so I found myself watching another episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents; Into Thin Air.
I have grown to love this old show. But, this was an episode I have to admit I was not overly impressed with.
The episode is about a woman who checks …

The Sunken episode of this supposed documentary called Chasing Mummies continues some of the action from the week before with Zahi Hawass investigating a possible burial site of Cleopatra while Leslie and the producer are having a hard time getting where they need to go.
The main goal of the …

The other day I was watching mtv and this show came on. I watched a couple episodes of it. It’s a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I just kind of ended up watching it because I was bored. Now I watch it whenever I …

Stargate SG-1: Prometheus Unbound from season eight is a show I have some conflicts about. On its own, it’s not bad, though there are issues, but when applied to SG-1 as a whole, I hate it because it’s the show that brought the character of Vala to the …

There must be a Night Court Christmas marathon on tv this morning because this is the second Christmas episode in a row I’ve come across. While I didn’t like it as much as “Santa Goes Downtown” the episode “Let it Snow” still manages to be funny while sharing the …

I was a latecomer to the world of How I Met Your Mother. I think when the first season actually aired, I only watched one or two episodes, if even that. A local store was having a sale on the first season DVD set, so I decided to go …

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. …

Synopsis: Goren and Eames track down a young jewel thief and realize that she is being mentored by Goren’s arch nemesis Nicole.
What I like about this episode: One of the reasons I hated Nicole’s final episode (which has her murdered early on in the episode and off camera) is …

I’d forgotten about M*A*S*H: Kim, but it’s actually one of the most endearing episodes of the entire series. It’s a show that lets Wayne Rogers be the standout, something that really didn’t happen all that often. The Kim episode gives his Trapper John McIntyre character depth as …

*Spoilers Ahoy*
I bought the first season of Veronica Mars on DVD because I’d heard from so many people how good it was. Magazines, Newspapers and blogs were all putting it on their “best of the year” lists, even horror writer/god Steven King was a fan. In fact, I didn’t …

I used to watch the Simpsons Tree House of Horror episodes on an annual basis; as part of my Halloween celebrations. But, the more recent episodes of the series really ruined the experience. The last one, Tree House of Horror XVIII is a good example of this.
The problem with …

Gene Roddenberry’s love, Majel Barrett, was originally supposed to play Number One, the second in command of the Enterprise. That’s how it was in the original pilot. When that didn’t go over with network executives, she became a blonde and was reduced to a love-starved nurse named …

I watched a total of two Simpsons episodes last night and have to say the one entitled “Gone Maggie Gone” was a classic one.
A couple of things set up the plot of this episode. Marge stares at an eclipse and temporarily loses her eyesight. While she is unable to …

When I first watched this episode on The Sci-Fi cable channel, I could not understand what it was about. I found myself wondering constantly if the thing Mulder and Scully were investigating in the episode was a literal fallen angel or a U.F.O. I could not understand how a …

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 …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Unforgiving Minute, episode 20 of season six of the Richard Boone western series, does not have my beloved introduction that takes place in San Francisco. I’m not sure how many shows in this year were without them, but from what I’ve seen in …

Betty White is my all-time favorite comedy actress. She was my favorite in The Golden Years. She brings this excellent comedic timing in Hot in Cleveland.
The storyline is simple enough —“ three women from Los Angeles whose careers in the entertainment industry are in their twilight years are marooned …

The wonderfully alluring Rhonda Fleming guest stars in Wagon Train: The Patience Miller Story. She plays the title role, a religious woman who speaks in ‘thee’s’ and ‘thou’s’, who arrives to teach school to a combination of Indian and pioneer children. She’s met with some resistance from …

I would have to say that this is one of the worst Spongebob Squarepants episodes I have ever seen. I am a huge fan of Spongebob, but I truly feel like this one was a disappointment big time. In this episode, a pencil falls from the sky in lands …

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is a popular comedy that stars on many channels. The main character is played by the famous will smith, who plays the role of Will, a trouble maker from philly who got into a fight so his mother moved him to stay …

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, …

Critics said that this was one of the more convoluted episodes thus far and, man, they were not kidding. This episode throws a lot at you. As you’re watching it, it all seems to flow and make sense, but looking back, it was an odd and twisty …

Now, …

I have to admit to having quite mixed feelings about this particular TV series - although the show can be quite riveting at times, some of its subplots in the past have proven to lack satisfying resolution, the gore and sexuality can be excessive to the point of inducing …

This episode features plenty of returns. The most obvious one being Martha, who calls the Doctor in to help her with a case she is working on. The other two are only noticeable if you are familiar with the franchise in its classic iteration. As I …

Apparently, Fraser’s driving is no longer questionable as in the opening scene of Due South: The Promise, he’s driving Inspector Meg Thatcher to an event. The long and short of it is that her broach is stolen by a street urchin. The young girl who stole it …

Tige Andrews and Katherine Cannon return in CHiPs: Bio-Rhythms. The two appeared in an early episode from this second season playing a father and daughter trucker. I have some issues with the development of this story.
In the opening, Jon and Ponch are overlooking the freeway and Jon …

Mad Men is witty and refreshing.
Mad Men is AMC’s latest television series based on advertisers in New York City. It’s based in the 1950’s with “Ad Men” as they call themselves, attempting to find new ways to sell companies.
I had heard bits and pieces of the show from …

Ted Bessell is an absolute hoot in The Earrings episode of That Girl from season three. It’s one of those shows where he really gets to stand out and show off some of his personality. This is the Valentine’s Day show, and Don surprises Ann with diamond …

As negotiations begin between the Centauri and the Narn, Londo finds himself enamored by an exotic dancer with a heart of gold. He cites her appearance as “perfection”, which I’m rather torn on. You can tell, just by looking at her face that she’s pretty, but the …

This show takes a look back at the choir that Gareth Malone developed and trained from students of Northolt High School and actually made them successful enough to compete in a world competition in China. They didn’t make it through to the second round there, but they performed, …

My 2-year-old son loves Timmy Time. I think he can relate to Timmy, who is always full of ideas and is brimming with energy. One particular episode that he likes is Timmy Wants the Blues. In this episode, Timmy decides that he only likes things that are blue. He …

After the previous episode, I wasn’t really sold on the Cybermen. I’m still not blown away by them, but my opinion of them as foes of the Doctor has increased significantly.
Really though, this episode belongs to Mickey, who gets to shine after being left behind and then …

Intervention is a show broadcast on A&E. Each episode focuses on another person who has an addiction. Evidently the person’s family must contact Intervention and say that they need help intervening. I don’t know how you would contact the show, but somehow the family members get through and then …

Star Trek: The Galileo Seven is a good one. It’s another that deals with the issue of prejudice aimed towards Mr. Spock. It’s odd that so many would harbor ill will in his direction, but it’s constant throughout the series. The catalyst for the drama here …

I watched CSI VII the episode on Empty Eyes and it was so scary that I still remember the gory details up till now.
This was based on a true crime story and it made me sick thinking of the killer. Yeah he was caught in the end, …

Jeremiah: Out of the Ashes was an interesting episode with a couple of different focuses. Much like the previous story, Moon in Gemini, the heroes are split up more than they are together, which I believe is a shame. Buddy shows work best when the chemistry between …
