Hawaii Five-0’s pilot episode from September 2010 is designed to introduce us to the new team. This is not a replica of the Jack Lord series; it’s a re-think. It’s very important to go into this series with an open mind. If you are determined to …

When I heard Melrose Place was going to be remade I thought it wouldn’t be very good. The thing about Melrose Place and 90210 was they were perfect in the nineties because they reflected the values of culture being pushed to the limits. Today when television has such …

OH. MY. WORD!!!! If you haven’t seen this series yet, you are definitely missing out! I suggest you immediately find it and watch it! Zoo is a 2015 TV series based on the James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge book of the same title. I would describe this series as an …

Every so often there’s an episode from the Law and Order franchise that disturbs you and makes you feel uncomfortable. For me that was this episode of Criminal Intent. The episode starts out calmly enough, with a man trying to raise money, though he doesn’t say what. He tries …

Halfway through its second season, Star Trek aired The Gamesters of Triskelion in which Kirk, Uhura, and Chekhov are taken from the Enterprise to Triskelion where they are enslaved as thralls, forced to fight for the amusement of their captors.
I can’t say much about the costumes in this arena …

MacGyver: Slow Death is one of those average MacGyver episodes that is very pleasant to watch, though there isn’t really anything spectacular about it. Mainly, it’s an entertaining hour, and that’s really what television is supposed to be. The show has some great interaction with the characters …

I’d intentionally waited for a few weeks after this series debuted before reviewing it because I wanted to get a better sense of what the show is about. The first episode was pure sex, or pretty much so anyway, with the climax (pardon the pun!) being the swapping between …

I find the opening scene of Twenty-Four Hours at North Fork extremely funny. Just one week after having Paladin so serious about marriage with a lady doctor, we see him back to his playboy self. It’s just hysterical because it opens up almost like a covert ops …

Apparently, when you do a show like this, you have to have a Devil’s Island type of prison. For Bring ‘Em Back Alive, it was Kampoon. For Tales of the Gold Monkey, we get to see their version in Escape from Death Island. It begins with
Jake …

The Rachel Zoe Project: Fashion Addiction was the season finale, but I think the suspense is over since these shows are taped so far in advance. The absolutely big personal issue addressed during this TV season was the baby issue. Rodger, the husband, is getting desperate to …

On the Run- Globetrotter
This is yet another great episode of the show On the Run- the show that tells the stories of real life sophisticated and unusual criminals, most of which love to live the high life on someone else’s money.
In this episode we get to hear the story …

I was never a fan of any Tv series but Smallville until this show came about. My ex girlfriend told me about this show a year ago and lent me the DVD of the first season of it. The show is named Dexter and I thought it was funny …

The case itself was somewhat interesting. There is a murder and …

I can’t believe that for the last few years I have not been watching Big Bang Theory. I heard about it, but the description of the show did not seem appealing to me at all. I sounded like just another one of those “time wasting” sitcoms.
One day, when …

My daughter made me sit down and watch another episode of The Emperor’s New School with her at lunch today. But, I didn’t mind because it was actually a bit funny.
The Emperor’s New Tuber was a cute episode because it shows the pressures Malina is under to win all …

The fourth season of Adam-12 got under way on September 15, 1971 with an episode called Extortion. It’s a good start for the police drama which starred Martin Milner and Kent McCord.

The only thing that came from the Playhouse investigation is everyone finally had enough …

I have watched many different news commentators in my life but none can ever compare to channel 4 MBC Mr. Matt Lauer. He has such an expertise in the field of newscasting. Its simply amazing how you can actually feel the sensitivity in his heart when he …

Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere is one of 39 episodes of this supermarionation puppet series from Gerry Anderson. What I enjoy is that the puppets really do have some great personalities. They’re pretty well rounded, all things considered.
