Wagon Train: The Andrew Elliott Story
Another season seven story of Wagon Train was The Andrew Elliott Story, starring Dick Sargent of Bewitched fame as the title character. Interestingly, he’s only seen in flashbacks.
The focus on The Andrew Elliott Story is on Duke Shannon (Scott Miller, or Denny Miller as he is more well …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 13 has Section 9 looking for the man who sculpted Hideo Kuze’s face, the man who attacked the prime minister. Meanwhile Pazu is having his own problems.

Full Metal Alchemist (animated series)
I had delayed watching this animated series for some time despite what some of my friends had said about it because I just didn’t think that I would understand or enjoy it. Part of that stemmed from bad experiences watching some fantasy animation over the years, where I would …
Sea Hunt: Gold Below TV Show
Sea Hunt: Gold Below begins with some underwater shots of Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) working with his new assistant, Billy Riker. The reason why Billy is so fun to watch is that he’s played by Jack Hogan. Hogan has a long history of excellent portrayals, including a …
Prep and Landing
One of the newer animated tales that airs on the networks during Christmastime is called Prep and Landing and features the voice of Dave Foley. I’m not a big fan of Foley’s per se, but I was bored so decided to see what this fairly new show was …
Fear Factor
The show fear factor has been around for a couple of years and has been going strong. Their idea was wonderful and they test your mental, physical capabilities to its full extent. I have to say they also challenge your mind so much as to how much you can …
Anime (Animation) : Kids On The Slope
The animation is wonderful, the story is lively, and when those two main characters start playing jazz I just can’t help but close my eyes and smile. The anime Sakamichi no Apollon (also known as Kids on the Slope in English) truly is a masterpiece. I am a big …
Outlaw: S1, Ep 2 TV Show
Directed by Timothy Busfield, the second episode of Outlaw aired on September 24, 2010. In this series, Jimmy Smits stars as former United States Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza. Garza quit the bench to become a regular lawyer again. It’s really an interesting premise.
Guest star Ed …
Stargate Atlantis: Search and Rescue
The fifth and final season of Stargate Atlantis begins with an episode called Search and Rescue. Now this concludes a story that was done as a cliffhanger in season 4, and I didn’t see that. Actually, the only reason I’m reviewing the fifth season is because an …
Fireball XL5: The Forbidden Planet
The opening scene of Fireball XL5: The Forbidden Planet at Venus’ beach house is a kick. There’s a discussion about TV being boring and Steve Zodiac wanting to watch intergalactic sports all the time. It’s a conversation that a lot of families have had, I’m sure. …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Fee Fie Foe Fum TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Fee Fie Foe Fum aired in October 1992 and featured All in the Family’s lovable Jean Stapleton as Grandma. Co-starring in the half hour episode was Lucy Lawless as Liddy Barton and Robert Morelli as Tom. There’s also a pretty white dog. …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Symbiosis
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Symbiosis is one of the blander episodes from the first season and only a mildly interesting Prime Directive story. I also feel that the dialogue at times is a little awkward and forced, like during the conversation of Lt. Yar and Acting Ensign …
The Fall Guy: Colt’s Angels TV Show
The concept behind The Fall Guy: Colt’s Angels is that Colt Seavers (Lee Majors), his cousin Howie (Doug Barr), and co-worker Jody (Heather Thomas) pretend to be bikers in an attempt to capture the gang’s leader. They look pretty funny in that get up that they wear. …
America’s Got Talent: Performance August 3, 2010 TV Show
We had another performance show for America’s Got Talent on August 3rd where several acts did their thing in the hopes of moving forward to the next levels of the finals. Below are a few impressions on some of the acts from the evening.
Da Maniacs. They began …
Channel News Asia
Channel News Asia is a good TV station program. Actually this local channel in my country is called Channel News Asia, and this is one of my hot favorite TV channels of all time. I think across the continents, perhaps people might be able to access this, though …
CSI Season 5 Episode 14- Unbearable
I felt it was a mediocre episode. It wasn’t bad, but it was not something very interesting and exciting. It was just another episode on the show, waiting to be forgotten. The human factor of the story always surprises me. You can write a really great episode, with all …
Laramie: Ride the Wild Wind TV Show
From year two, Laramie: Ride the Wild Wind includes the return of Bobby Crawford Jr. as Andy Sherman. In this second year, Andy was sent to school back east, but he shows up a couple of times to be a part of the story, as is the case …
Simpsons - That Birdie In the Window
This was one of those Simpsons episodes that I just say, were they really so out of ideas that they must have just looked out a window and saw a bird and that’s where the idea of the episode came from. Even if the whole idea of using a …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Band Candy
While not a great episode, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Band Candy” was definitely funny and interesting.
The good thing about this episode is everything starts out so innocently. Buffy and her friends are pretty much forced to sell candy to raise money for the band (even though they …
The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie Comes to Town TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie Comes to Town is the show where widower Andy Taylor gets himself a girlfriend in the form of new druggist, Ellie Walker. Elinor Donahue, who viewers watched grow up on Father Knows Best, plays the lady pharmacist, who has come to Mayberry to …
That 70s Show: We Will Rock You
Wow, I sure missed a lot on That 70s Show when I stopped watching it after Eric and Kelso left. The episode “We Will Rock You” proves that.
I knew there were new characters on the show and other characters have obviously gotten older. But, since when does Jackie love …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Yuma Treasure
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Yuma Treasure is a second season episode that was pretty good to watch. In the show, Paladin (Richard Boone) shows up at an Army fort in the middle of no where. He’s been asked to come there by the fort’s …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 3, Episode 3: The Painted Lady
Team Avatar comes to a small fishing town that has been ravaged by pollution courtesy of a fire nation military factory. I was a bit worried when the episode started out, having grown up in the age of Fern Gully and Captain Planet, I really don’t need some …
Grey’s Anatomy TV Show
In a time when many TV shows are failing miserably, Grey’s Anatomy is still one of the few that are holding strong. After seven years on air, this is a show that is able to keep an audience, me included, captivated and interested. It’s not perfect by any means, …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Song Festers TV Show
From February 1964, The Andy Griffith Show: The Song Festers is a favorite episode. It’s fun and poignant, and more than either of those, it’s an entertaining half hour. That said, it’s not all new and it doesn’t necessarily make a lot of sense either.
In this episode, …
Pokemon (TV Show) - The Tower of Terror (Episode)
“The Tower of Terror” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. This is the second episode in a three episode story arc that’s focused on Ash claiming his third badge. In order to beat Sabrina, Ash and company travel to Lavender Town and the Pokemon Tower, where ghost …
True Blood 3.03 “It Hurts Me Too”
The title of the episode in this case proved to be prophetic - after two very strong episodes, the third one didn’t happen to be the charm, quite contrarily, slumped down and simply didn’t provide the high quality, high speed drama of its predecessors.
Jason’s subplot, usually boring but, at …
The Parkers (tv series)
“The Parkers” was one of those television sitcoms that I would virtually ignore back when it was more popular a few years ago. This was because I had made a judgement of what it would be like based on what little I had seen of a few episodes, …
Christmas Comes But Once a Year cartoon
From Max Fleischer, Christmas Comes But Once a Year starts out so delightfully. As the name indicates, this old cartoon is one of a holiday nature. In fact, it begins at an orphanage, with a dog licking away a little girl. Then all of the young …
Ghost Hunters: Altoona, PA
I didn’t watch Ghost Hunters at the beginning of its run about five years ago, but I have watched off and on for the last couple of years. They tend to go to a lot of old places that have reported haunts or mysterious happenings. One of …
Fireball XL5: The Granatoid Tanks
In Fireball XL5: The Granatoid Tanks, the Granatoids are looking for a home. They are a very destructive race, and it’s up to XL5 to save the day, once they realize there’s danger out there.
What is special about this episode is that we’re celebrating Venus’ birthday, so we …
Americas Most Smartest Model
My wife absolutely loves modeling contests on television. I’m not sure what she enjoys about them, but whenever a new one comes on, you can be sure we’re going to be watching it.
I personally find the competitions boring. You have a bunch of ex-models or designers judging wannabes that …
Cowboy Beboop Episode 14 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 14 has the crew going after a man known as Chessmaster Hex after a series of Hyperspace Gate Tollbooth robberies that are connected to him.
This episode was really good, it was quirky and fun and interesting. It wasn’t really about the action as much as …

Psych TV Episode: Six Feet Under the Sea
Synopsis: While being forced to attend a funeral for a famous Sea Lion, Shawn begins to suspect the creature was murdered and, as a result, is asked to investigate the animal’s death.
What I liked about this episode: I think the funniest part of this episode had to be the …
NCIS: Agent Afloat Season 6, Episode 2
This episode was mostly about Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, or rather Agent Afloat Anthony DiNozzo. Anyone who is a huge fan of Michael Weatherly, like myself, enjoyed “Agent Afloat” tremendously.
There were two stories going on….which usually happens on NCIS. One was the investigation itself. Supposedly, a …
Dead Set show
Charlie Brooker turns his talents to drama with Dead Set; a five part miniseries chronicling a zombie outbreak in modern day Britain, all revolving around the Big Brother house, it’s housemates and the few surviving production staff.
It’s a pretty strong show to be honest. Well shot, well cast …
Business Baazigar show
Yes, its true. Business Baazigar is the latest show telecasted by Zee TV on every Friday at 8:00 PM. There are several talent hunt shows going on around the country, but this is one of the Best of such talent shows as this is a talent that shows the …
The Golden Girls
This review is about a show that is near and dear to my heart. I don’t often get “hooked” on a tv show, much less feel the need to watch the episodes over and over. In fact, more often than not, I turn the channel to a …
CHiPs: Vintage ‘54
CHiPs: Vintage ‘54 had some good moments in it, including some with that lovable elderly lady, Mrs. Downey, played by Marjorie Bennett. She did a few episodes in this first season of CHiPs. This time her car gets stolen and she demands to have it back ‘now’. …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 5: Troll Bridge
The first few minutes of this episode had me worried that this was going to be a dud. We follow what is later to be revealed to be a troll as he goes off on his own and had “wacky adventures” in New York City. Luckily, we …
The World’s Tallest Children
This program came on TLC and I was so amazed by the families and the children that I saw. They were absolutely huge. Not just tall people, but actually really large. There was this one girl from Thailand who was to travel to England to find …
Cowboy Bebop episode 17
In space, fuel and food does not make itself. A fact that all of the members of the bebop have discovered. Cowboy Bebop episode seventeen is a joke. The title “Mushroom Samba” gives away how badly written the plot is, that it only saves its self with the style …
The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive TV Show
While there is drama in The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive, it’s the fun element that I enjoy. This is a playful, endearing, happy ever after type of story, and that’s just my style.
J. Pat O’Malley is absolutely perfect casting for Old Ben, an elderly gentlemen who loves to …
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Knight to Remember TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Knight to Remember from December 1961 has one of the fun openings that I really get a kick out of seeing. In the gambit, Paladin, played by Richard Boone, is fencing. He’s showing off a bit for a young lady, who …
The Twilight Zone: Nothing in the Dark TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Nothing in the Dark is one of the classic episodes of Rod Serling’s landmark science fiction series. It’s one of the best, probably in the top ten or fifteen of all the shows produced. It’s a show that most people can identify with and …
