The Andy Griffith Show: The New Doctor TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The New Doctor, from season one, is quite entertaining.
The one thing that seems funny to me is that this show has dealt with new doctors in a lot of different ways, or should I say will deal with. There’s absolutely no consistency to it, …
Highway Patrol: Statute of Limitations TV Show
From February 1957, Highway Patrol: Statute of Limitations, starring Broderick Crawford as California Highway Patrol Chief Dan Mathews, is just a so so episode that did very little to capture my interest for more than a few seconds at a time.
The story begins by talking about speeding, which is …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and Opie’s Pal TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and Opie’s Pal, from January 13, 1964, was one of the few episodes where Opie’s human fallacies came out.
One of the good things about The Andy Griffith Show is that the characters weren’t perfect. Andy frequently misjudges people. He apologizes, a …
Trust (Starhunter Episode)
Trust is a bit better of a Starhunter episode than the one that preceded it: Peer Pressure. Here the villains of the day are a bit less annoying, and a bit more sinister. I also really like the concept behind the new prison: a completely automated prison …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Outcast

Centennial: The Longhorns
Centennial: The Longhorns is one of the most fun section of this wonderful mini-series. It’s the only focused on the cowboy, and since I love cowboys, I loved this episode.

Kate Gosselin on Dancing With The Stars season 10

That 70s Show: Love of My Life

The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Episode 9: “Katerina”
After The Vampire Diaries episode 8 entitled “Rose” I was more than thrilled to see episode nine entitled “Katerina”. If the name doesn’t give it away to what this episode might be about, then I’ll just tell you—¦Katherine Peirce (also known by her previous and original name before becoming …

This …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Initiative
Well, I guess that explains the commandos running around Sunnydale. Apparently there’s some sort of government run group known as the Initiative and they are interested in capturing and experimenting on vampires; including Spike (who was captured the episode before).
I couldn’t figure out a whole lot about this group …
Justice League Unlimited: “The Balance”
This episode of “Justice League Unlimited” begins with flash trying to get Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl together. I believe that Wonder Woman is still upset over the Thangarian invasion though they don’t say in the episode.

That Girl - Season Two DVD set
Again, my problem with the Shout Factory DVD release of this show, and others that they’ve done, is how inconvenient the layout is. Since this is only a four-disk set, it’s not as bad as others, but what they tend to do is put two DVDs on the …

The Virginian: The Land Dreamer TV Show

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Town Where No One Got Off TV Show
For the first time, Ray Bradbury, from whose mind all of these episodes come from, does a unique introduction to his story. He talks more about how he gets ideas. I love these introductions. In the show’s first cable season, there were six episodes and only …
Columbo: Identity Crisis TV Show
Here’s the deal with Columbo: Identity Crisis. Like most episodes of the police drama, I’ve seen it numerous times. It’s not a favorite, but I love Columbo, so I watch it when it pops up on TV. One of the reasons it’s not high up on …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Becoming, parts one and two
