My wife has never seen the show “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” so, since there was nothing else on TV last night I decided to put on a re-run of the classic series. Fortunately, there was a great episode on at the time “The Dangerous People.”
This is one of those episodes …

One thing I really like about this anthology series called The Veil is the authenticity I feel from it. I think that comes from it being a product of Hal Roach. The sets are very detailed and even remarkable. Even the costumes seem to fit the …

The Andy Griffith Show: My Fair Ernest T. Bass brings back the character of the rock throwing mountain man, Ernest T. Bass played so brilliantly by Howard Morris. When last scene, Ernest T. wanted a uniform. Apparently, things didn’t go well. Now he is back, and …

There are a lot of “talking head” shows on television nowadays. While it mostly sticks to news stations, even ESPN couldn’t avoid bringing in a few of their own.
Earlier this year, they launched a new show called Sportsnation. Unlike other shows, this would get the …

It took me a while to realise how funny Catherine Tate is and how good her sketch show is. I only started watching it when the UK nation was already quoting her ‘Lauren’ character and saying “I ain’t bovvered” at every opportunity. I have grown to really …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Code of Honor is an episode that puzzles me. I do not know if the writers of the episode were deliberately trying to be racist or if they were driving at something else, but the way the episode is scripted makes me wonder. …

Recap: A criminal metahuman seeks revenge on the three men responsible for his death 2 years ago. Iris is determined to get Wally out of drag racing while Wells sets to betray the team.

I liked this episode because all of the things that were at the back of my …

I’d actually forgotten about the Probe TV series until a friend sent me a DVD or two with the episodes on it. I did watch it and enjoy the show, brief as it was, when it aired originally. In the first episode, Computer Logic, we are introduced …

This episode of Greek was enjoyable. Today’s episode was dealing with the “G” word. graduation. Casey wants to go to Washington and Cppie doesn’t know what he wants. Dale starts working at ZBZ at Fisher’s old job and Rusty is struggling with his project.
The Cappie …

Chip N Dale’s Rescue Rangers is a great show about Chip and Dale the chipmunks who solve crimes and mysteries. The show is just great and one of my best childhood memories. If you like cute little chipmunks, then you are going to love this show. The music in the …

MacGyver: Family Matter introduces Pete’s ex-wife and college-age son. The two are kidnapped by a former agent who wants Pete. Right away, viewers learn that Pete has been an absentee father to his son, Michael. The conflict is rife with pain. Michael won’t even call …

Fireball XL5: Space City Special is a wonderful, terrific, and very special episode of this puppet TV series. I believe it was probably the season ender, or shown at a break because it aired in June and then there is a break until the next episode aired in …

CHiPs: Repo Man features Mills Watson as the repo man. In other words, he’s in the repossession business. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a lot of tact and he does a lot of underhanded things to get the job done. Quite honestly, I’ve never enjoyed Watson as …

Royal Pains is a new show on the USA Network. It’s about a New York doctor that gets fired because he made a decision that ended up killing one of the trustees of the hospital. He ends up in the Hampton with his brother partying and trying to forget …

I think that Are you Smarter than a 5th grader is a pretty cool TV show. The idea is original and has never been done before. So this makes the show really cool in my eyes. I mean it’s funny to see 5th grader’s be able ot answer questions that …

This is a great episode, and it was put into two parts. In this episode, Michael and his team continue to work on executing the escape plan from the prison. They have come to what they could be the final stages in the plan. In …

The Beast Wars - Part Two is the second half of the series premier. The second half of the premier, I think, is more interesting and enjoyable than the first half because it is in the second half that the very conflict-heavy relationship between Dinobot and Rattrap begin and …

This is the season where it all began for the unforgettable and groundbreaking sitcom that forever changed the television landscape. I think that Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment missed a wonderful opportunity by not including any sort of interviews, retrospectives or behind the scenes peaks into what went on in …

I love this show and am so glad for another season ! I am so excited for this season’s line up! Every season it’s on I am so motivated by watching them dance; I walk on our treadmill and watch the show. My fiance even gets into the …

Yet another Simpsons episode I haven’t seen before; where have I been. If I had known about the episode “Apocalypse Cow” I wouldn’t have been so quick to write off the later seasons of the show.
This one was actually quite interesting. You have a bored Bart joining the 4-H …

This episode of South Park is really great and very funny. The episode starts with the boys getting kicked out of a general store because they are trying to buy an �erection� to give to Kyle�s dad so his parents will stop fighting. And the jokes just get …

In the prior episode of That Girl, Ann and Don had planned to visit the Maries in Brewster, but Don had to work. In this episode entitled Bad Day at Marvin Gardens, the Maries come to the city to spend the weekend with the couple, starting with a …

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 …

Horrible.
My only word to describe the network known as Black Entertainment Television. This channel is absolutely horrible. It destroys the integrity of the black community and is a divisive, harmful tool for those who watch it.
BET wasn’t always the worse channel a black person could flip to. There …

Stanly is rarely given much to do on The Office. In many episodes he seems to only be there so Michal can be racially insensitive, but the actor is very funny and it’s good to see an episode where he has more to do.
In this episode, Stanly disrespects Michal …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Neutral Zone is the final episode of season one and is an episode that I have mixed feelings about. On one hand, I find the storyline of the Enterprise coming across a space capsule containing cryogenically-frozen humans from the twentieth-century intriguing and …

I stopped watching CSI for a long time, although I had always been an avid fan. It was just that I had not much chance to watch TV with all the writing I was doing. So I guess I felt lucky to have been able to catch this …

Castle Films presented a cartoon version of Simple Simon. This now vintage cartoon from the golden age of TV begins very lively with the children’s song about Simple Simon. Then we learn everyone is going to the fair, and that’s where the story goes.
While I loved the …

Sitting around, chatting, and listening to fanciful tall tales. That’s the delight and center of The Twilight Zone: Hocus-Pocus and Frisby from 1962. It’s a fun story that includes some harmless stories and some naive aliens, as in aliens from outer space.
Here are a few thoughts about …

Well, well, if it isn’t Jar Jar Binks. Yeah, being that this is an animated cartoon series, you had to guess it was only a matter of time that he would make an appearance sooner or later. But don’t worry, this episode actually pokes fun at his clumsiness and …

NCIS is a series about crime scene investigators working for the Navy. Unlike many of the other similar shows, the comic element is quite strong in NCIS.
The good: I really like the comedy. The setting is far-fetched, there is for example only one person in the lab and …

My wife didn’t stay up to watch it, but I managed to see the latest episode of Psych last night; Not So Close Encounters. And, so far, I think it is the best one I have seen this season.
Basically, we learn early on that Shawn and Gus are obsessed …

Now here is a fun story, and I would guess that Gene Roddenberry would have loved to have produced something like this for live television. Star Trek: The Lorelei Signal, the fourth episode of the 1973 animated series, has a landing party from the Enterprise beaming down to …

John Adams was a 7-part mini-series on HBO. I don’t get that channel so had to wait for a chance to see it. I love revolutionary stories when well done, so going into this first episode, entitled Join or Die, I was hopeful it would engage me. …

The Fall Guy: Three for the Road did have its moments, and most of those included recurring guest star, Judith Chapman. She’s a terrific actress, no matter what role she takes on. Her Kay Faulkner actually annoys me off and on, but she’s well done and very …

The third season of Monk was a transitional period, and that’s why I had to rate it so low. Sharona was one of my favorite characters and in this season she ended up leaving the show. I heard that it was a contract dispute and some money problems, but …

Rod Serling’s Night Gallery was made up of a collection of different stories, some just a few minutes long, and others more detailed. This show is made up of three entries — Death in the Family, The Merciful, and Class of ‘99, and Satisfaction Guaranteed.
Death in the Family …

I have been viewing SPOON, a show on NET 25 on Philippine Television which is being hosted by Janice de Belen. The show is every Sunday evening and as this is the time for my ironing, I’d iron clothes while enjoying the show.
I like the concept of the show. …

The ABC Family film that is shown on Monday nights called, “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” had some promise before it aired, but has slowly become a show that is giving teenagers the wrong idea about teen pregnancy and sex before marraige. The episode “Moving in and …

Our youngest daughter was still awake last night so my wife and I ended up watching a Law & Order SVU re-run on TV until she finally fell asleep around 10. The episode that was showing was called “Criminal” and it was pretty decent.
In the episode, a graduate student …

‘Happy Event’ is the second episode of The Good Life’s third series. With Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal as Tom and Barbara, a jovial couple of Surbitonites who have given up the rat race to become self-sufficient and live off the land, which is actually their back garden …

The game show that can make you an instant millionaire simply by answering 15 questions. They start you off with the first five questions being relatively easy as common knowledge, things that you would hear about daily, kids stuff and then after you answer those first five questions correctly …

I haven’t seen the Simpsons episode “Brush With Greatness” for a while, but finally got to see it again tonight. It’s not quite as great as I remember it, but it still turned out to be funny.
Marge is asked to paint a portrait of Mr. Burns for an exhibit …

Sea Hunt: Midget Submarine brought to mind memories of watching an old favorite show of mine, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Now potentially the idea for the flying submarine could have come from Sea Hunt’s use of this midget submarine since this show predates Voyage. …

From March 2004, NBC aired Whoopi: The Squatters. Whoopi stars comedian Whoopi Goldberg as Mavis Rae, owner of the Hotel Lamont. Guest starring in this episode is the wonderful Celeste Holm. She’s a resident at the Hotel Lamont who is suffering a bit of senility. …

From October 1982, Remington Steele: : Tempered Steele is the second outing for this show, and it begins with Steele running up a huge tab which annoys Laura Holt big time.
An electronics company hires the agency to discover who is stealing their research. After Mr. Steele blows all Ms. …

Emergency!: Cook’s Tour is a fun little show. When I watch it, it’s not really any one story that stands out, but it’s more the feel of the firehouse that is the heart of the show. Fire department cooking is almost legendary, and this show deals with …

For some time, there was a big debate about who was the better Monk assistant, Sharona Fleming or Natalie Teeger. That’s easy to answer; Natalie.
The thing I like about Natalie as his assistant is the fact she isn’t afraid to stand up to him and make him confront his …

The Marvelous Treasure Machine is an episode of Sea Hunt that has also been referred to as Continental Rift. Unfortunately, shows don’t always show their name titles when they air, and Sea Hunt is one of those. Therefore, I can’t say for sure which episode title is …

AMC is a channel on television. It’s a pretty good channel. I don’t ever see any shows that I like on it but I see movies occasionally on it that I like. Last Halloween I know I watched AMC a lot because they played some good and classic horror …
