Diagnosis Murder: Flashdance with Death TV Show
William Katt became the murder victim in Diagnosis Murder: Flashdance with Death from season one. He’s co-owner of a dance studio, and he wants to sell; his partner doesn’t. It’s a classic reason for murder.
This episode has some good talent for its day. In addition to …

Family Guy
The television series known as Family Guy has proven itself to be one of the best cartoon series that is around today. Not taking anything away from the other cartoon series, but this one is more additive than so many others it is ridiculous. The characters of the Family …

The To Boldly Go … Season Three featurette continues the goal of giving fans a lot of insight and stories about the episodes that appeared in that season. There was, however, a bunch of conversation about the campaign that saved Star Trek from being canceled after two seasons. …
The boondocks season 1
Looking for a hilarious adult humor cartoon with political undertones? Try the boondocks season 1 on dvd. This cartoon is featured on adult swim on MTV, and is a little raunchy, rude and crude. It is definitely not for the easily offended.
This cartton is about a black family that …

The Defenders: Nevada vs. Rodgers TV Show
Nevada vs. Rodgers was the latest hour of the new decent drama and disappointing comedy show, The Defenders. The good part for me is that they more or less left the comedy behind this week, and that was delightful. I’ve said from the beginning that this version …
THAT 70′S SHOW
This television close to real life 70’s show is something my son and I enjoy watching together. It relates to the 70’s in the way the characters are dressed and the cars they drive, but otherwise the teenagers act and think just like teenagers today. It is a …
Seinfeld
Seinfeld was always one of my favorite TV shows growing up. Even to this day I can watch this show over and over and never get bored of it. I think Seinfeld is a true comedy classic. Seinfeld has classic characters that we will remember forever like Kramer. And this …
Jeremiah: Ring of Truth
To be totally honest, I was mostly bored and disappointed throughout Jeremiah: Ring of Truth. It was a very odd show, full mushroom hallucinations, a drag queen brothel, and a circus. I really wasn’t interested in any of it until the last ten or fifteen minutes. …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Fatal Cargo TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Fatal Cargo was the 7th program of this science fiction show’s 4th year on the air. The show starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison, who I always loved in this role, as Captain Lee Crane.
Following are a …
Songe Bob Square Pants
Sponge Bob Square Pants is my three year old favoite cartoon, she is watching it as I write this. I have mixed feeling about this. Although there is nothing real alarming in this cartoon, the characters are not ones I would want my daughter to copy. The one that …
CHiPs: High Flyer
Sadly, the powers that be behind television series often don’t pay attention to their own show’s history. Continuity often has gone into the toilet, so to speak. In CHiPs: High Flyer, we get another example of just how bad it can get when no one cares to …
You Deserve This House, TV program
A one-hour show presented by Ms. Amanda Lamb was a great change from other various reality shows dominating the TV landscape today.
What I liked about the show was its format. It was pretty straightforward. There were no contentious flare-ups and me-against-the-world drama between participants that seemed customary in almost all …

Sky Sports TV Channel
I watch Sky Sports on a regular basis, especially in the morning when I want to catch up with all the sports news. The channel tends to cover all the sports I enjoy watching, mainly Premiership football which is usually the primary focus of the network. One problem I …
The Golden Girls show
How on earth did some of the discussion on the Golden Girls manage to sneak by the censors? Maybe it was because the show featured four acclaimed actresses then in their golden years so the innuendo and raunchiness snuck by them or immobilized them completely. All I know is …
Sky Digital Satellite Television
Sky digital television is brilliant. It is available in England and Ireland. There are many channels that you can watch with this service. The channels are received by attaching a dish to your property. This is a small dish. Channels are received to this …
Highway Patrol: Mental Patient TV Show
Highway Patrol: Mental Patient was a bit different for this early and highly respected police drama. Anthony George guest starred as an escaped mental patient. He runs around in his white garb and robe and eludes capture for quite a while. He also becomes accused of …
Surviving the Cut: Navy EOD TV Show
I definitely enjoy the Surviving the Cut. It educates the everyday viewer about the military elite and all that they have to do to get there. Well, not all because actually some of it is classified. The cameras frequently have to shut off to avoid showing …
Dancing with the Stars - Performance 5/11/09
My first beef with tonight’s two-hour show is that the first half-hour was a review. I would have liked to have known that in advance. Traditionally, they’ve put review shows as a separate entity. Nevertheless, the real meat of the show was, of course, the dancing.
Melissa …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 19: Shapes
This episode had some potential, but inevitably fell flat for me. It was interesting to see the monster of the week get killed off in the stinger, and have its death be the subject of investigation. It seemed like a nice inversion, but at about the halfway …
Life on Mars season 1 Episode 8 Take a Look at the Lawmen

Everybody Loves Raymond TV show
Everybody Loves Raymond is based on the comedy of stand-up comedian Ray Romano. I got hooked on this show when a friend of mine who hardly ever watches this TV starting telling me about it. I figure if he likes it, there’s got to be something worth watching here. …
The Thorn Birds TV Mini Series
I can never forget The Thorn Birds TV Series, growing up in college, it was one spectacle that I relished following and watching with my mom. No doubt, there were some melodramatic moments, such as when protagonist Meggie Cleary’s delivers her line, which goes “What have I …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - The Last Chapter (Episode)
“The Last Chapter” is the final episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. “The Dick Van Dyke Show” is easily one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, but it’s series finale, oddly enough, happens to be my least favorite of the series and I can think of many …
Stargate SG-1: Stronghold
From the near perfect to ridiculousness, this is the path season nine of Stargate SG-1 has taken. In Stargate SG-1: Stronghold, there is one plot that is so unbelievable that it stunned me.
Mitchell has a friend who is dying. This guy was his competition, so it goes, …
Teach - Tony Danza: Homesick TV Show
Teach - Tony Danza: Homesick is the fourth effort into telling the story about this well known performer teaching for a year at a high school in Philadelphia. Danza had a lot of guts to take on this project, and I’m hoping that by the end of the …
Gossip Girl
This is actually a television series that both of the two room mates that I have had absolutely loved. They just had to watch it, so if I was in the room then I was watching it too. Honestly, it’s addicting but for all the wrong reasons. These days, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Out at the Old Ball Park TV Show
From 1960, Have Gun - Will Travel: Out at the Old Ball Park was an oddly entertaining version of this western series which starred Richard Boone as gunfighter for hire, Paladin. I really liked the opening bit because it caught me off guard. We’re again at the …
A-Team: Mexican Slayride
When I was a kid, we used to make the show A-Team a weekly viewing experience. But, I’ve never seen the first episode; Mexican Slayride before.
That is until tonight.
The 2-hour long episode does a great job introducing the main characters of the show (with a different actor playing “Face” …
Cracker: True Romance Part 1 TV show
Cracker is a British crime show that I just can’t get into. Of course, I’m watching a second season episode so I’m watching a show mid-stream, but it’s just boring and confusing to me. The main reason for that is that I just don’t get the main …

Mr. Monk and the End, Part 2
We watched the Monk series finale last night and I have to say it wasn’t quite as good as I thought it would be. But, it did have a few twists that I didn’t expect so it still managed to win some points.
First, the case was way too easy …
