I eagerly awaited the screening of the CW’s The Beautiful Life. It had Mischa Barton who I hadn’t seen since her days on the OC and mainly unknowns. The premise is that a kid from a small town comes on holiday to the big city, he gets …

“Drive”, the season seven episode of “Star Trek: Voyager”, is Star Trek’s one and only “space race” themed episode to date, and unfortunately, it is neither exciting or intense - two qualities that I associate with racing. Granted, it is difficult to do a race in space that is …

In this edition of the United Kingdom’s version of Undercover Boss, it was Paul Fisher, the main man in charge of The Jockey Club, who went undercover. This show was about the business associates of the racing world’s The Jockey Club, from taking tickets at the racetrack to …

“Mr. Potter Takes a Rest Cure” is another episode in the charming warm and fuzzy BBC series “Wodehouse Playhouse” (see my reviews for other episodes and for the series as a whole. In this episode an American publisher, Mr. Potter (played by Alan MacNaughtan) and a rising English politician …

From season 5 in 1966, The Virginian: Girl on the Glass Mountain was a fairly entertaining episode. I haven’t liked very many of the fifth season shows, but this one does okay. It revolves around a young woman who gets married and wants everything to be just …

So ends the second season and Billie Piper’s run as Rose Tyler. With an ominous prediction from Satan, I was expecting Rose to die, and the episode really plays up the possibility, with Rose’s voice over confirming it.
“Shockingly”, it turns out that the Beast was lying, or at …

A TV series that tries to bring the fear to viewers by showing a host of little skits where they put people in compromising situations just see what they would do in order to preserve their own sanity and lives together. Usually the situations that they encounter are very …

What can I say about Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Best of Enemies? Not much that is good, that’s for sure. This adventure series continues to be sub-par. Star Bruce Boxleitner didn’t have enough sparkle to keep the show dazzling along, and the co-stars were almost …

The second season of Columbo began with Étude in Black, featuring John Cassavetes as Alex Benedict. It also starred James Olsonas Paul Rifkin, Blythe Danner as Janice Benedict, Anjanette Comer as Jennifer Welles, Myrna Loy as Lizzy Fielding, and James McEachin as Billy. I list all of …

Parking Wars is a reality non-competition show. The half hour program is in its fourth season now, and it follows various parts of the operation of the Philadelphia Parking Authority. I call them the car cops.
New this year is Sherdona, a worker in the parking authority office. …

There’s a surprising event in this fifth installment of Devices and Desires. It’s not all that shocking, but at the same time, it turned the murder investigation upside down.
P.D. James has written numerous mysteries for his central character, Commander Adam Dalgliesh, to solve. Always well dressed and …

From the fifth season, M*A*S*H: Movie Tonight is a really enjoyable outing for this comedy television series. It’s fun and lively, and I’ve always enjoyed it. Most of the episode centers around a long-awaited movie night. The picture is one that Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) …

„Deadly Medicine” is a sixth episode of the first season. It revolves around an ER doctor (played brilliantly by Joe Pantoliano) who is trying to further the contemporary medicine using any means possible.

I haven’t watched too many episodes of The Simpsons lately, other than some of the older re-runs that they show at 6 p.m. during the week. But, I did get a chance to watch a newer episode last night (though still in re-run); The Good, The Sad and the …

The Twilight Zone: The Big Tall Wish is not a favorite episode. For one thing, it moves too slow and for another I just don’t like shows that deal with boxers. In this case, it’s Ivan Dixon appearing as an over the hill boxer who has a …

Our youngest daughter decided to sleep in this morning and, since I didn’t have to take care of her while my wife got our oldest ready for school, I decided to sit down and watch an episode of Married with Children entitled Sixteen Years and What do You Get.

Spain was a petite powerhouse with quite the pout in her day. She really …

The second season of The Golden Girls was a really good one. The show combines four older women of an older age who live together in Miami, Florida. One of the better episodes involved Blanche’s much older father coming to town and marrying a woman less than half his …

From the Earth to the Moon - Part 8: We Interrupt This Program tells the story of Apollo 13 from the ground perspective and the newscaster angle, rather than from the point of view of the astronauts and Mission Control. This is in large part because the highly …

I’m not real big on The Twilight Zone: The Jeopardy Room, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its own allure. In fact, the show is different. It’s also very confined with a lot of inaction and I don’t really have the patience for that kind of …

I know that this is one of the most popular shows on TV but I really don’t like it. Just yesterday I saw that there were some reruns of this show and I started thinking to myself: ‘Why don’t I like this show?’ So I started watching the episode …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast continued with a tribute to, of all people, and I can’t even fathom why, Evel Knievel. Taped in Las Vegas, as always, the roasters included Ernest Borgnine, Gabe Kaplan, and a slew of other folks who have basically nothing to do with Knievel, …

I have to admit, I was expecting the worst when it came to this episode. After the disaster of the last episode, I was expecting to be disappointment and bored. My disappointment was mild and my boredom was limited, but this …

I enjoyed this episode. The story was that Clark and Lana are together when lightning strikes and Clark’s powers are transferred to Lana. Clark still has his powers and now so does Lana.
The episode started of kind of funny watching Lana giddy with joy at moving at …

It was a very strange episode, but I absolutely loved it. In addition to the great story and acting, of course, I also really enjoyed the artwork that they have shown in the episode. Usually, when filming a movie or a TV episode, the production does not focus …

This was a very good episode of Smallville. It involved the return of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow who I love and was pleased to see is back. Lex paying some chick to do his dirty work and get him Green Arrow, Clark and Lana’s already strained relationship.
So the Green …

This is another episode where I could see what the writers were going for, but the execution was lacking. It opens with a fraternity being framed by ghosts for various pranks. They decide to hire the Ghostbusters to take care of it. Venkman’s against it initially, …

Columbo: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set basically follows the same suit as the fourth season set. That equals an adequate presentation by Universal, one that is better than what they did with the season 3 set, but not as wonderful as the first season set.
The fifth season …

The Good Wife is a show I watch every week, but even as I watch it, it often bothers me. In fact, the more the show goes along, the more I wonder if I might stop watching. This episode called Mock is a perfect example of why …

After the awesomeness that was “42″, we’re given another amazing episode. It may not keep you on the edge of your seat in suspense, but it works extremely well and pulls off everything successfully.
As the episode opens, the Doctor and Martha find themselves being pursued by …

This is a relatively new show and although it has a plot i feel i have seen many times, it is actually still interesting. The story line is about a boy who is adopted into this family but he does not know his roots. Everything around him is …

The Veil: The Crystal Ball takes a bit of getting used to. I felt it had the slowest start of all of the episodes of this anthology series. It also is one that feels more like a contrived soap opera than anything else. I was disappointed …

From season 10, M*A*S*H: Snappier Judgment is the conclusion of a two-part episode that began with property and equipment from the 4077th disappearing, including a new Polaroid camera given to Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and B.J.

Stalemate is another good episode of the 1970 drama, The Young Rebels, which starred a magnificent young cast which included Rick Ely, Louis Gossett Jr., and Phillippe Forquet. Hilary Thompson is also on board, playing Ely’s girlfriend on the show.
I enjoy this show because it’s a theme that, …

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.
