Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Inca Mummy Girl
I’m usually not a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes when they go off track and don’t even mention vampires. But, I did like the episode Inca Mummy Girl.
I liked this episode, which has the gang tracking down an ancient mummy after the seal keeping her inanimate …

The latest episode of Orchestra United to come out was pretty interesting. This is the reality series that is following conductor James Lowe as he brings together students to participate in an orchestra with the ultimate goal of having them perform at the Bridgwater Theater. The series …
Sea Hunt: Kelp Forest TV Show
From September 1959, Kelp Forest, a show from Sea Hunt’s second season, really didn’t do much for me, and the reason why is that there’s nothing new in this show, including the guest stars.
Here’s the thing. Actor Ted de Corsia has been in multiple episodes of Sea Hunt. …
Laramie: The Killer Legend TV Show
Jess Harper (Robert Fuller) is acting as sheriff in Laramie as the action in this hour of Laramie begins. Entitled The Killer Legend, this is a very strong hour of programming and one that I just love to watch. Before the opening teaser ends, Jess finds himself …
The Virginian: The Masquerade TV Show
The Virginian: The Masquerade, a sixth season episode, was one I found to be quite delightful. It was pretty lighthearted versus the serious tone of so many of these 90 minute episodes, and it featured David Hartman, who I often enjoy in his portrayals.
Hartman guest stars as well …
Destination Truth: Haunted Forest/Alux
Last night was the first time I have taken the time to sit down and watch the series “Destination Truth.” I have to say it, the season premiere I watched “Haunted Forest/Alux” is one that has me wanting to watch it more often.
In this episode, the Destination Truth team …
M*A*S*H: Out of Gas
This is actually the first of three episodes from December 1978 that gave a strong role to William Christopher as Father Mulcahy. This initial outing is M*A*S*H: Out of Gas, and it comes about because the 4077th has run out of sodium pentathol, meaning they have to use …
MacGyver: The Road Not Taken
I suppose season two just isn’t as fun for me as season one of MacGyver was. This is another show that just doesn’t quite tickle my fancy as some others do. It’s plenty watchable, with good moments, but it’s another old flame returning, and not just for …
Deal or No Deal TV SHow
Well I know when Deal or No Deal is on because the phone will ring about 5 minutes after it comes on. It is my Dad, He calls me and my brother and sisters to tell them they can win 10,000 to guess the case. So to appease him …

The Simpsons: Wedding for Disaster
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a bigger fan of earlier Simpsons episodes rather than later ones. And, tonight’s episode “Wedding for Disaster” is a good example of why.
This was one of the most pointless episodes I’ve seen. You have Marge and Homer being “unmarried” once again and, because Homer …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Ted Knight TV Show
As was the case for most of these shows, the The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast honoring Ted Knight as the Man of the Hour was put on at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. What I liked about the hour was that it did include some of Knight’s …

Psych: Earth, Wind and Wait for It

What’s New Scooby Doo: Mummy Scares Best
I liked the first episode of the series “What’s New Scooby Doo” but I’m not sure if I was a big fan of the second “Mummy Scares Best” simply because it was a bit too predictable.
The problem with this episode, which features a mummy trying to scare people away …

The Sing-off
I didn’t intend on watching NBC’s new show The Sing-off. But, I took a shower last night and, when I came back in the living room, my wife had it on. So, I ended up watching one episode of it anyway.
It was an OK show but nothing special.
It was …
That Girl: Sock It to Me
Season three of That Girl begins with Sock It to Me, an episode featuring guest star Barry Sullivan. I’m not sure if it’s the use of star Sullivan that makes this worthy of a season opener, or if it just happened that way. Last season, it …

Family Guy: Padre de Familia
I’m usually a fan of the show Family Guy. But, some episodes just aren’t very funny. The episode entitled Padre de Familia is a good example of it.

Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl is a television show that airs on the CW. It’s a show that is much talked about and yet lacking in ratings which made me question whether the show was good or had a cult following. In my opinion I think it is a good …
Cinemax
I can’t believe how much cinemax has changed. I used to have it and I glad I don’t pay for it anymore. I had it free over the weekend and I don’t see why anybody would pay for this channel anymore, especially not a high price for it. I …

Family Guy TV Episode: Family Goy
As I mentioned in another review, I had an opportunity to watch some re-runs on TV last night. The first re-run was for the Simpsons but the other one was a re-run of Family Guy that I had not seen before yesterday called Family Goy.
This episode meant well, but …
Adam-12: The Tip
For me, one of the things that stands out about Adam-12: The Tip is that Chuck Courtney has an uncredited part as bad guy, Russell Simms. I’m not sure why he didn’t make the end theme credits, but for some reason, Adam-12 had a habit of not crediting …
