Super Mario World - The Night Before Cave Christmas
Super Mario World - “The Night Before Cave Christmas” is not quite as memorable or entertaining as the other “holiday themed” episode, namely “Ghosts ‘R’ Us”, but I do like this episode because it is one of the few times in this episode that we actually get to see …
Highway Patrol: Explosives TV Show
The 35th show Highway Patrol from Season 3 was called Explosives and aired in June 1958. While it had action and drama, it also featured poor writing in my view, and maybe even more direction since I would think the director would have some power to make what …
The Cleaner: Let it Ride
The Cleaner: Let it Ride had a couple of nice guest stars in it. The first was Steve Lawrence, a personal favorite of mine through the decades. He was a gambler here, a man who’d lost his wife due to his betting on the horse races. …

The Twilight Zone: What’s in the Box TV Show
The Twilight Zone: What’s in the Box is a crazy thirty minutes focused on the evils of television, or maybe it’s just focused on an evil television. Sterling Holloway, whose unique voice makes him a unique performer, guest stars as a TV repairman who performs some special alterations …
It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown (1984)
Out of all of the Snoopy TV specials, this is my favorite. With the scenes of breakdancing and the energetic songs, it’s the one that says “1980s” the most. I grew up in the 80s so I love a lot of stuff from that decade. And there’s just something …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 2- A Single Life
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 2- A Single Life
I’d don’t know if I liked this episode. In the beginning, it looked very interesting, and I know that it had a very strong message, which I felt was in very important to express. But the end …
Wave Broadband - Cable Television Service
I hear praises about cable television on dramas and comedies aired on free channels more than I do in reality. In the real world, where people pay expenses, people complain about how the channels they receive with cable are not worth the price. My family owns Wave Broadband, and …
Harper’s Island Episode 11
This is an episode definitely not to be missed. I am in shock definitely because there are more than one deaths, really. I lost count already. In Harper’s Island Episode 11, all of them already know that Wakefield is alive and he is now so intense in …
Columbo: Make Me a Perfect Murder TV Show
Columbo: Make Me a Perfect Murder is a memorable outing for the famous detective mainly because of the superb cold and calculating performance of Trish Van Devere. She’s actually the traditional lady scorned, both personally and professionally, and she is out to get her revenge.
Van Devere portrays Kay …
Legend: The Gospel According to Legend
The Gospel According to Legend is the seventh episode of this Richard Dean Anderson futuristic western. I like this one quite a bit. A man Ernest Pratt (Anderson) knew before as a low life called Weasel Willy comes to town as Mordechai and claiming to be reformed …

That 70s Show TV Episode: Street Fighting Man
I got home about 5:30 yesterday evening and decided to put on a re-run of That 70s Show while waiting for the Simpsons to come on. It turned out that re-run was one of the funniest episodes from any series that I have ever seen.
The episode, called Street Fighting …
That 70s Show: Love of My Life
I can’t remember if I have reviewed the That 70s Show episode Love of My Life before. If I have, I’m sorry. But, I saw it again last night and still think it is one of the funnier episodes from the series; at least the very end of the …

Cody Lyoko
The first time I ever heard of the French animated television series “Code Lyoko” was some years ago when I saw it advertising on the cable television channel Cartoon Network. At first, I neither paid much attention to the advertisements nor watched the series since I was very busy …
Hawaii Five-0: Ohana TV Show
Hawaii Five-0: Ohana is the second episode of this reincarnation of the 1960’s classic police drama. Hipper and with more of an edge, this new version stars Alex O’Loughlin as Det. Steve McGarrett, Scott Caan as Det. Danny Williams, Daniel Dae Kim as Det. Chin Ho Kelly, and …
Voyagers!: Destiny’s Choice
Jon-Erik Hexum and Meeno Peluce star in Voyagers!: Destiny’s Choice wherein their characters of Phineas Bogg and Jeffrey Jones have to convince Franklin Delano Roosevelt to continue with his political dreams.

“Extreme Bathrooms” (television show)
I have this fascination with extreme living conditions—”that is, homes that are either extremely strange or extremely expensive (or both.) This program on the Travel Channel focused on the bathrooms around the world that have some kind of weird conditions. For instance, at a Japanese steak …

How I Met Your Mother
I finished watching the first season of this series, and I had to just write a review about this amazing series. The cast consists of 5 main characters.Ted, Barney, Lily, Marshal and Robin. Though all of them, except for Barney(Neil Patrick Harris) and Lily(Alyson Hannigan) are relatively new, they …
The Loretta Young Show: Faith Hope and Mr. Flaherty
I remember years ago as a child watching The Loretta Young Show. The actress was quite beautiful and was very talented. Her shows were a delight. All I remember, though, is watching. I couldn’t tell you an episode. That’s because Loretta Young kept a …
Have Gun - Will Travel: First, Catch a Tiger TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: First, Catch a Tiger was the first show of the season for year number three. I love how it starts, with Paladin playing chess against himself. He tells Hey Boy that he doesn’t like doing that because “I always know what I’m …
M*A*S*H: The Interview
M*A*S*H: The Interview, while giving credit to Larry Gelbart for both directing and writing, was done in huge part in an unscripted manner. I recall numerous interviews and articles about this when this show aired originally on network television. It received a lot of attention at that …
Whoopi: Identity Crisis TV Show
Whoopi: Identity Crisis is pretty much about what the title says, an identity crisis, but not of the emotional kind. It’s the identity theft type of crisis that Mavis Rae (Whoopi Goldberg) has to deal with. When she goes to pay for lunch for her family and …
Naruto: Anime
Naruto is an anime show based on a character named Naruto. I used to like this show because it had good fights but I don’t really watch it anymore.
First of all, the name is really unoriginal. They named the show by a character. I don’t understand Japanese so perhaps …
Voyagers!: Sneak Attack
Just two episodes after seeing Robert Donner as Buffalo Bill Cody, in Voyagers!: Sneak Attack we see Disney’s Ike Eisenmann playing a young Bill Cody before he got the nickname. It’s not just our voyagers meeting Cody back in 1860 Utah, but an ‘I’ve got something to prove’ …

Scream Queens
I absolutely have no idea how in the world this reality TV show made it onto the air. I know that you can basically make a reality show out of anything these days. But this one is so corny that I had to laugh whenever I happened …
NCIS
NCIS is a crime drama. It stands for Naval Crime Investigation and that’s what it is. They deal with crimes that involve the navy. While on the surface that may sound boring it’s actually not. NCIS is a very well done show and is …
Friday Night SmackDown
If you like fights and wrestling then you will love Friday Night Smackdown. In fact I am watching it right now as I type up this review. I have always loved SmackDown and I remember when it used to be on Thursday nights. Now it is on Friday nights but …
Sea Hunt: The Amphibian TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Amphibian focuses on Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) taking charge of a group as they had an underwater picnic of sorts. He’s more or less being a lifeguard in the ocean. Of note to me were the following thoughts:
–William Boyett of Adam-12 fame played the part …
Deli-Creations Focaccia Sandwich - Parmesan Basil Turkey
Oscar Mayer has again expanded its Deli-Creations line. What began with one sandwich line and then broadened to include flatbread sandwiches, now also includes Focaccia sandwiches. I’ve purchased a couple to try, beginning with Deli-Creations Focaccia Sandwich - Parmesan Basil Turkey.
As with the entire Deli-Creations line, the …
M*A*S*H: The Winchester Tapes
In M*A*S*H: The Winchester Tapes, the newest member of the 4077th, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III, makes a tape to send home to his parents. The well-to-do character ended up replacing Frank Burns (Larry Linville) in the first show of the season.
In my opinion, it was a good …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Nasty Patty
I came home from work yesterday and both of my daughters were watching Spongebob Squarepants episodes on Netflix Instant watch. Most of the episodes (from the third season) were episodes I have seen before. But, there was one that was actually new to me called Nasty Patty.
At first, I …
Those Scurvy Rascals
British series cartoon animation titled Those Scurvy Rascals is something that I always am able to catch in Kids Central Channel, in my country. It is so darn funny and these pirates are really getting on my funny nerves. My nieces and nephews all love this cartoon as …

Project Blue Book, TV Series (2019)
In my opinion, The Blue Book is one of the most interesting series of at least the last 5 years. What are its principal merits?

Max Headroom: Rakers TV show
Max Headroom: Rakers from April 1987 starts out with some curious dramatic angst when controller Theora Jones (Amanda Pays) can’t be found, causing Edison Carter (Matt Frewer) to become concerned. While others suggest he just not worry about her and hire a new assistant, Edison refuses and tracks …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Everyman TV Show
The fourth season was ebbing towards its last fourth when Have Gun - Will Travel brought viewers a show called Everyman. It’s a bit of an odd tale, one mixed in the belief of the tarot cards, which is often controversial.
The San Francisco opening had Paladin (Richard Boone) …
Hercules:The Legendary Journeys TV show
This is my favorite episode from the first season of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Although a little cheesy at times (and what Hercules episode isn’t,to a certain extant),it is humorous,fast-paced and just plain fun. And I always enjoy it when Michael Hurst,who plays Hercules best friend,Iolaus,joins the cast because …
