Have Gun - Will Travel: A Miracle for St. Francis is the tenth show of the sixth season, and it is directed by William Conrad, who has taken the helm on several other episodes of this western series. Once again, we don’t get a San Francisco scene, which …

Well, another Simpsons episode and another one that indirectly teaches the importance of tolerance when it comes to other cultures and religions.
Mypods and Boomsticks was a great episode because it teaches the danger of stereotyping muslim people into the terrorist category. Bart befriends a boy from Jordan and, because …

From December 1957, the 9th episode of Highway Patrol’s third season was called Witness Wife. Basically, the title comes from a woman who ends up giving potentially harmful information to the killer, unaware of who he is. In fact, she pretty much points him towards her husband’s …

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Promised Land is the first episode of this series that aired in 1983. It’s funny what stands out to a person, but one of the things I am amused by as I rewatch this program is how star Richard Dean Anderson (he plays …

Directed by Charles Haid, which might explain Michael Warren being in this episode since both appeared on Hill Steet Blues, Criminal Minds: Devil’s Night had its moments that served to entertain to an extent. The story concerned what is has been an annual event in Detroit in recent …

Well, so far, I have liked most of the Futurama episodes I have been watching with my daughter over the past couple of days. But, the season 1 episode Fear of a Bot Planet was actually kind of weak compared to most of the others.
The problem with this episode …

“Marathon Men” is an episode of “The Jeffersons” that features George and Tom preparing for a many mile race that is being held in about a week after George and Tom get into an argument over who can beat who in a race. I didn’t really find the plot …

The fifth season of The Virginian brought about more change. Judge Garth, owner of Shiloh, has sold the ranch to John Grainger, who shows up with his two grandchildren, both young adults. As fate would have it, one of Grainger’s new neighbors has an ax to grind …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Fatalist is the opening episode of this half-hour western’s fourth season. I noticed that the theme at the beginning included Paladin speaking a line or two from the show. This was done a lot in season 2. I didn’t notice …

Austin Scarlett and Santino Rice, one time contestants on Project Runway, have their own show now called On the Road with Austin and Santino. Some folks might consider it a condensed version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy as the two designers go on the road all …

From November 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Shootout at Hogtooth was the 9th episode of the sixth and final season of this TV western which starred Richard Boone as Paladin, a gunfighter most of the time but who lives a sophisticated and somewhat playboy like lifestyle in San …

After watching this episode, I found it to be rather depressing and sad. I did not enjoy watching most of this show except for the dream sequence near the end which was kind of funny. But still the suffering the castaways have endured and the uncertainty of their fate …

The Virginian: Two Men Named Laredo isn’t too bad to watch. It actually was unusual in that the 90-minute western dealt with mental illness. At the center of that was Fabian, who showed some acting chops in his portrayal of Eddie aka: Josh Laredo. He joins …

An unidentified vessel suddenly travels through the wormhole. It’s out of control and heading right for Babylon 5. Commander Sinclair manages to use a ship to slow it’s trajectory and bring the vessel in for repairs. On board, they find a single humanoid alien that they …

This review is of the American television show Modern Family, Season two episode 4, “strangers on a treadmill.” This episode gets it’s name from a reference to the movie strangers on a train where two strangers agree to kill someone for the other one so that the person close …

One of my favourite television talk shows is Oprah. Oprah is on Channel 10 at 1pm in the afternoon.
One of the reasons why I like watching her shows is because Oprah the talk show host is really genuine and down to earth. I like it how she has not …

This …

Secret Ballot opens on Halloween with Don Hollinger arriving in costume to tease his girlfriend, Ann Marie, better known as That Girl. The season three story actually has nothing to do with Halloween, but it was a nice way to acknowledge the event without devoting an entire episode …

The last few House episodes have been kind of sucky considering Wilson has been AWOL from the show following his falling out with House. So, it was great to see an episode “Birthmarks” that finally brings him back.
In a way, this was a bit of a depressing episode because …

The original Stand Up 2 Cancer television event occurred in 2008 and it received enormous attention. The show was aired on all three major TV networks as well as numerous cable channels and networks. It was everywhere, and the hour long show was even replayed a couple …

What can I say, I love musicals. And, there isn’t a musical out there that is better than the film Grease. In fact, ever since I first saw it (as a kid at a drive in theater with my parents) I have never failed to watch it when it’s …

Stargate SG-1: Hathor in season 1 of the series is one that I actually like in some ways and one that is disturbing in other ways.
In this episode, the Goa’uld Hathor takes control of our very strong SG-1, and most other males at the SGC. Because the men …

My favorite TV series of all time, NCIS is on its seventh season this fall 2009. I discovered this show while watching re-runs of American shows in a government-owned television channel in the Philippines. I was hooked from the first time I watched it, and from then I …

This week on American Idol, it was iIunes night, in a way. The singers had to perform a tune that was a popular download on iTunes. It could be any genre; it just had to fit whatever the producers definition of ‘popular’ was. Some of the …

Undercover Boss Australia featured the top man at the Veloia company. This was the 2nd show of the first season for the down under edition and it features Peter Murray, Director of Operations for this waste management and environmental services company.
One thing I noticed in the premier and …

Stargate Atlantis: Remnants continues the exploits of the Atlantis team in the Pegasus Galaxy. In this 15th show of the farewell season, the opening scenes have my head spinning. There’s just way too much going on, all presented in very short segments. More time needed to …

I have seen a lot of movies and television series about how good triumphs over evil, but this one takes that game to a higher level. What will you do if you discovered that your friend is an angel who have been sent from heaven to make sinners atone …

This edition of Dancing with the Stars’ 11th season was dubbed TV Theme Week as all of the pairs danced to a TV theme song. Some of the highlights from my point of view follow.
–The first half hour of the show was nothing but a review given by …

It’s a common piece of advice, a cliche even, that things aren’t always what they seem. That’s the first lesson of Stargate: Infinity: Who Are You? which is the children’s animated version of the hit science fiction series, Stargate SG-1, only there’s very little that really resembles that …

This is my number two favorite Spongebob episode. In this show, Spongebob looks at the clock and realizes that it is time for Gary to take his bath. Gary hates to take a bath and will do anything to get out of taking one. Spongebob tries …

Before this episode, I used to wonder if rape victims truly ever forgive their rapists and found it hard to believe that some of them actually do. However, the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Limitations” shed new light on it and one of the possible negativities of …

In 1966, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Death Ship aired. It was the 22nd show of the second season. Like always, this science fiction show starred Richard Basehart and David Hedison. It also included one of its larger guest casts in which those …

Think Rosemary’s Baby and you have the idea that is center stage to this April 1988 production, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Small Assassin. Alice Leiber (Susan Wooldridge) has just become a mother, only it was a very unusual delivery and from the get go, she claims the …

I just adore Judge Judy. She is a real Judge called Judith Sheindlin who, in this show, presides over real cases from the small claims court. The show has been running from 1996 and is still being made and in every episode we see two or three …

As far as Monk episodes go, Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever was actually one of the worse ones I’ve seen.
While the side-plot of Natalie getting a job as television’s lotto girl was somewhat interesting, the reality was the show itself was a bit cruddy because there was really no …

In this episode, there’s a new guy at the academy and Merrill’s pet rat goes missing.
There’s a new guy on campus that has all the girls turning their heads, especially Merrill and Essie and it becomes a huge problem when Drew notices Sherry checking the guy out to. It …

Man, what a contrast from the last episode. Where that one fell flat and didn’t really deliver any sort of tension or suspense, this one brings it in spades.
It manages to do this by upping the scale as Mulder races to uncover a crashed UFO. …

I’m not sure about Family Guy some weeks. Some episodes are very clever and unique. Others, like “Tales of a Third Grade Nothing” lack any real substance to them.
This episode basically has Peter having to repeat the third grade because he is seeking a management position and it is …

Justice League - “Only a Dream” Part One is a solidly entertaining episode that features some fluid animation and a story that is quite unlike any other episode of the series. I kind of felt that this episode was a little predictable in some respects, like when it comes …

When I was a kid, we used to make the show A-Team a weekly viewing experience. But, I’ve never seen the first episode; Mexican Slayride before.
That is until tonight.
The 2-hour long episode does a great job introducing the main characters of the show (with a different actor playing “Face” …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Toynbee Convector has a very interesting theme. It sounded quite fascinating. I actually have an idea in my head what the true story is, so as I go into watching this episode, I can’t wait to see if my theory is correct. …

Tales of the Gold Monkey: Once a Tiger… focused on Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) going after a downed plane that was carrying some new and improved scopes that would be used for the Flying Tigers, which he used to be a part of. He’s driven in part by …

This is a …

My So-Called Life was a television show in the nineties. When I first saw the show I was about twelve years old and so this show was about the right age range for me.
When I watched My So-Called Life as a little girl I was enthralled. It …

I just love watching Nip/Tuck. I have been a loyal follower of Seasons 1 to 4 and I can just give a two thumbs up for each and every episode. From the lead actors and the supporting characters to the star-studded guests, I can truly say that the show …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Merchant of Mayberry is what I call a quiet episode simply because the story is a rather low key, sweet one with a character who is unassuming and just a real down to earth type of guy. This second season show guest stars …

The epic mini-series Centennial continues with an episode called The Yellow Apron. The name comes from a dance that is done at an annual rendezvous for mountain men. This is the place where the estranged partners, Pasquinel, played with brilliance by Robert Conrad, and Alexander McKeag, played …

Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost is a story from the final season of Wagon Train. It’s a little unusual for a western to have this type of story. I think it was perhaps their strange attempt at a Christmas tale since the story aired in Mid-December of …
