While it’s cute enough, I’ve never really liked That Girl: Kimono My House all that much. I can’t really point out any special reason why it’s not a favorite, but that’s just the way I feel about it.
Apparently, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to Don Hollinger’s (Ted Bessell) …

The television, cartoon version of Santa Claus is Coming to town is my personal favorite of all of the Christmas, holiday special shows.
I like to watch this particular show year after year.
This is where Kris Kringle comes to town to give presents to all the children, only to find …

Big Brother’s August 4, 2010 episode was one that focused on the power of veto meeting. Normally, this show is on Tuesday nights but for some reason, it was shown on Wednesday of this week.
Watching Big Brother is a bit like walking through a mine field. There’s …

I wasn’t in the mood for Family Guy last night so I ended up flipping through the channels and settling for a Seinfeld re-run instead. Fortunately for me, it happened to be one of my favorites; The Mango.
The set up on this episode was fantastic. Jerry and George are …

Mayday is a really great documentary series examining real historical occurrences of passenger plane crashes of avoided disasters. The show usually follows the same structure at first they will other set the background to the story or take the viewer directly into the crisis of the situation. This …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Girl from Piccadilly opens with Martin Westrope staring at Paladin’s card and the newspaper. We’re in San Francisco, and it’s not long before Richard Boone’s Paladin arrives, dressed in his finest suit as is so often the case when in the city. …

For all intents and purposes, M*A*S*H: Hawkeye is a one-man soliloquy as Hawkeye Pierce, traveling alone in a jeep, swerves to avoid hitting some Korean children and ends up turning over the vehicle and getting a bad hit in the head. Realizing that he might have a concussion …

I follow this Australian police drama which deals with the homicides that an Australian police team of investigators try to solve. The homicides are complex, and most are not set in black in white. I struggled with the accent for several episodes, but now I find their accents interesting, …

I just adore Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided for several reasons. The first is that this is one of those shows where just about every regular has their moment. It’s not easy to do that in an ensemble show like this one, but it’s …

CSI: New York: Out of the Sky was just a so so outing in my opinion. I wasn’t particularly captivated by the hour or even intrigued. What was disappointing is that the opening teaser had some promise, but then once it was done, it just droned on …

Patrick Swayze returns to episodic television for the first time since his short-lived 1982 series The Renegades, in this A&E TV drama, The Beast. The show airs Thursday nights at 10pm and is then rerun several times throughout the week.
A&E has gone all out in promoting this series, …

Highway Patrol: Gambling Story from November 1958 was a season four entry of this police story that stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, the head of the highway patrol. This show is one that deals with a racketeer’s desire to take over a small gambling house in …

The Virginian: Riff-Raff was half drama and half comedy. It guess starred Ray Danton and Don Durant, who both had some funny moments, but the real smiles came with Karl Swenson as Teddy Roosevelt. This was Teddy beginning his Rough Riders. In a comedy of …

OK, I never even heard of the show Total Drama Island until my wife was surfing channels the other day and came across the Cartoon Network. But, after seeing a few episodes of it, I have to admit it is pretty good.
Basically, this is a cartoon featuring a bunch …

The Virginian: Portrait of a Widow guest stars Vera Miles as a widow, Maggie Menken. While visiting back east with Betsy (Roberta Shore), she meets Charles Boulanger, a charming French painter. He surprises Maggie and Betsy by returning to Medicine Bow with them.
John Gavin portrays Boulanger, who …

Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 1 has some great moments in it. The premise is that the SGC is being documented. It’s the one-thousandth trip through the Stargate, and they want history to know how the Stargate has helped to shape and save the future.
To that end, a …

I took the time to watch the new episode of Bones last night “ A Night at the Bones Museum” and it turned out to be halfway decent.
Basically, an Egyptian mummy is discovered attached to an electric fence. After some investigating, they discover it is a somewhat famous mummy …

The Great British Bake Off was a 6 week challenge with 10 top bakers cooking around Britain, with two eliminated each week. I’ve seen five of these shows and hope to catch the sixth. Since I’m in America, sometimes I’m not able to see all of these …

The Twilight Zone: Long Live Walter Jameson is one of the shows I really don’t like much. A big part of that is the primary guest star, Kevin McCarthy, who is one of those boring actors in my opinion. I realize he’s done a lot, but for …

Beast Wars - Bad Spark is, I think, about the darkest and most chilling episode of the entire series. In this episode, a stasis pod unlike any other is discovered and Optimus reveals what exactly was in it and what he was ordered to do with it. The Transformer …

Think of a land of glitz and glamour. Beautiful women, sun, sea and glorious sunsets. High rise tower blocks overlooking a harbour lined with millionaire’s yachts. A playboy’s paradise overflowing with the excesses of the rich and famous. Imagine the picture. And in the centre of it stands a …

Touching Evil: Entropy celebrates the third year of the OSC, the FBI unit which David Creegan works for, and they celebrate by having a party. Like their cases, the party is odd. It’s like everyone lost their sanity. Strange.
Throughout Touching Evil: Entropy, Creegan is looking for …

The Greatest Story Never told is everything that I love about Justice League Unlimited. The plot is simple but mostly irrelevant. A powerful magician is attacking Metropolis and everyone in the league is sent to stop him, but this story isn’t really about that.
This story is about Booster Gold. …

At the core of the most holy shrine, there lies an single flower, no an lotus bud that floats on a lake with an romantic intent forever more. This is Eureka Seven episode 41 “Acerperiance 3″, a story as deep and more romantic than the fragile bonds of time …

I hadn’t seen the Simpsons episode “Little Orphan Millie” before tonight and have to say it was pretty good.
This one focuses on Millhouse more than other episodes. His parents, who went through a bitter divorce in earlier seasons, get back together and re-marry. But, on their honeymoon, they fall …

“The Balance” is the 18th episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. It is a mediocre episode focusing on the ‘girl power’ combination of Wonder Woman and Hawk Girl. It features the super villian Felix Faust who steals the armor stolen by the U.S. government in episode …

Crime shows and forensic shows really appeal to me because they showcase the realistic aspect of human nature. But the shows that really amp up the action are the “Most Shocking” programs that feature different aspects of shocking things that happen amongst ordinary citizens. Sometimes …

Being only the second episode of the series. It stands to reason that this episode is more straight forward. A serial killer (demonic of course) is killing people using a local singles bar as a buffet table.
I think they overdid the whole “we’re not in …

The first episode of the two part Big Brother finale from its twelfth season aired on September 9, 2010. The show picked up where the previous one had ended, which was in the middle of an adventurous Head Of Household competition. Actually, it’s the first part of …

You know, I really don’t spend a great deal of time watching the Food Network on cable. But, after watching the show, Throw Down with Bobby Flay, I think I might find myself watching more often.
For those of you who haven’t seen the show, Flay is supposedly a famous …

What a great House episode. It’s just too bad more recent episodes have stunk. The episode “Family” is apparently the one that starts setting things in motion for the show in terms of House getting a whole new staff. But, the case itself is definitely interesting too.
You have two …

I thought this was an episode which peaked my interest a bit. I didn’t think that it was superb, and neither did I think that it was awful. However, I found that the introduction and the plot of it especially interested me. “The Jersey Devil” was the fifth episode …

Season 3 of Stargate SG-1 picks up where the second season cliffhanger left off. In Stargate SG-1: Into the Fire, Jack O’Neill makes the sacrifice of allowing a Goa’uld to enter his body. This is done to protect his two teammates. Sam and Daniel watch in …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Magnus Beam is the 11th outing of the first year of this very intriguing science fiction show that revolves around the nuclear submarine, Seaview, and its crew, headed by Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane, as played by Richard Basehart and David …

For no other reason than me wanting something to watch until Ghost Hunters came on, I decided to watch another rerun of the show Bones. This time, it happened to be one I have seen a couple of times before; The Santa in the Slush.
I’m still a bit confused …

South Park is a fun TV show, a very button-pushing parody comedy show, with lots of profanity and stuff designed to shock. I like it, though I can see why many don’t. It’s original, and very intelligent. The humour is a bit cruel for its targets, yet South Park …

As the dust settles in the new human empire, there are beings of an more horrific nature afoot. Father Abel Nightroad and Imperial Aristocrat Asta, rush to the palace in hopes of finding the empresses there, to argue the case of freedom for Ion Fortuna, an imperial duke framed …

Usually before an episode of Pushing Daisies begins, a Jim Dale narrated summary explains the show’s premise and any extra bits of information the viewer might need. It goes something like: Ned can bring dead things back to life for one minute by touching them; if he touches …

Emerald Point N.A.S.’s fifth episode opens with the sad news that Celia (Susan Dey) has lost her baby. As sometimes happens, ultimately this leads to marital bliss going bye bye. Then again, there wasn’t a lot of bliss at the moment in her marriage to Jack Warren …

It was definitely not one of the best episodes in the season and not in the show. Although the course of investigation precedes as usual: new facts discovered, many more are unknown, different theories and possibilities, going back and forth on finding the criminal… I find that the writers …

Okay, now I usually do reviews on things I like, but this time I have had it! Comcast (used to be Time Warner cable here) has driven me to my limit. You would think that after being with them for so long and not moving to Direct TV, …

The Young and The Restless has been in the 11 am time slot on CBS in my location as long as I can remember. While it’s a good show to those that like it, I find it rather dull, and increasingly confusing. The story lines aren’t something that make …

So I was bored on day and decided to see what was new ondemand. I had stumbled upon a new series on HBO called True Blood about a back woods Lousianna town where vampires run rampant. I got sucked in by Anna Paquin’s character Sookie who has …

This is a rather very funny episode that allows both Haim and Feldman some alone time together to hang out. It all begins with Haim catching Feldman having a smoke due to the stressful tension he’s had to deal with between Susie and Haim. So as a result, Haim …

I love anything to do with the Batman universe. When I heard that a new tv show, Gotham, was in the works I was really excited, especially because it was to show the origins of many of the exciting characters in the Batman universe. In fact, the main character of …

MacGyver: The Widowmaker begins in a very dramatic and angst-ridden way. Mac has gone mountain climbing with his best friend, Mike, who is a female. Mike brings up their relationship. She wants more from their relationship, but he doesn’t return the romantic feelings. Upset, she …

It was a fluke that I watched this second episode of Outsourced called The Measure of a Manmeet. I am pretty sure that fluke won’t happen again because this show is just third class and even offensive. It’s ridiculously stereotypical and instead of focusing on a concept …

Wow, what a way to make the military look bad Law & Order SVU. The episode, PTSD, while interesting, really goes out of its way to make the military look like an institution determined to cover up things like rape and murder.
Of course, Olivia has issues that really need …

Criminal minds is a TV show that will run its eleventh season this year. Eleventh season! There are not many TV shows that can brag with eleven seasons. I saw a few episodes of this show in the past few years but never entire episode, just pieces of an …

Here we go again. I honestly don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but The Twilight Zone featured James Best in several episodes over its history, and they are all oddball episodes. It seems like if they wanted some back country, mountain folklore, and black magic …
