Enlightened is a wonderful new show that I have discovered lately. It is like nothing I have ever seen before on TV. The show tells the story of a woman who is trying to come back to work in a corporate environment after a nervous breakdown. After coming back …

I was flipping channels today and came across the Sci Fi television series 100 Million BC. Thinking it was the movie by the same name, I turned it on. Wow was I disappointed.
Normally Sci Fi comes out with some good shows. This was not one of them. Granted, I …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Secret of the Loch, show 30 of the first season, really doesn’t deal with the infamous Loch Ness monster per se. It does take place in Nessie’s part of the woods, and there is a supposed monster that is part …

Enter the stage another grumpy middle-aged businessman: George Jefferson. Sherman Hemsley perfected the role that made him famous. His business tycoon mentality and “buck the system” attitude made him a success. This success is described in the song accompanying the opening credits. …

I had intended on being in bed last night by 9. But, I ended up watching a re-run of Law & Order SVU; Raw. I have to tell you, it was one of the most intense episodes I’ve seen.
I missed the first few minutes of it but apparently they …

The 28th episode of Sea Hunt’s second season was called Underwater Ejection and focused on deep sea diver Mike Nelson, portrayed by Lloyd Bridges, hunting down nose cones from space craft. The man has some interesting jobs, that’s for sure.
Mike Nelson opens the show with an injury, which …

Columbo: Now You See Him is another Jack Cassidy appearance, and those are ones that make me groan a lot. For whatever reason, a Cassidy guest starring role means a boring show to me. He just has a smirk and a demeanor as these villains that go …

Spacelift: Transporting Trek into the 21st Century is a really interesting and intriguing featurette about how Paramount Studios created the remastered Star Trek series for DVD release. The digitally enhanced three seasons of this legendary series was released circa 2004. I was totally enthralled in how this …

MacGyver becomes a GT Cup race driver when the Phoenix Foundation develops a new environmental engine in this fourth season entry of MacGyver called Collision Course.
One thing I have to mention first that is bugging me in the last two episodes is Richard Dean Anderson’s hair. It’s just …

Americans, and other people groups around the world, seem to either despise or adore British humor, as seen in British television shows and movies. One television show that has won worldwide acclaim for over three decades is “Doctor Who.” A series accounting the adventures of the only Time Lord, …

Emergency!: Crash is the final episode of the series’ first season. It’s notable as well for being the second and last appearance of John Smith as Captain Hammer. Salary demands kept him from continuing in season two, which I thought was a shame because he did a …

The local television show and sometimes series “Hilla nd Gully Ride” had been going on for years on a certain local television channel on a Sunday evening before I stopped watching and never saw it air again. When I was much younger especially since I was less mature and …

Well, last night’s Project Runway challenge was kind of cool. The designers had to work in teams of two to make an outfit. Their only requirement is it had to be blue and it had to fit Macy’s Inc. line.
The winner would have their outfit sold by Macy’s, which …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Justice is the first Prime Directive episode done on this series, although unfortunately, I do not think it is one of the show’s better “message” type shows. In this episode, the Enterprise crew visit a world that is very peaceful and quite laid …

Thomas and his friends have been entertaining the children of America, including my own, since 1984. Every child loves a train. The magic of going on a trip to places unknown and sharing in Thomas adventures is just too alluring. The series is based on books …

Third Planet from the Sun is an episode of the Twilight Zone from the first season of the original series. It is a cautionary tale. It is about nuclear war, and the end of the world. The story revolves around a family. The father works for the government, and …

This was one of the darker episodes of the series and considering that the show is based on a Stephen King novel, I think that’s saying a lot. The episode starts with Johnny and Bruce driving down the road and listening to the radio. A local shock jock is …

I missed this when it was first televised, and was only half interested - it looked like yet another adaption of Pride & Prejudice, and to me you still can’t better the 1995 BBC series.
But then I noted that it had a twist. And it’s a great premise. Amanda …

Many years ago the Daily Show gained a cult following under the leadership of its original host, Craig Kilborn. With success came better offers for Mr. Kilborn, however, and he eventually made the switch to network television. John Stewart took his place.
Initially lacking, he soon came to …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Hunt the Man Down deals with a range war that pits brother against brother. Range wars are a common plot in westerns and in its first two seasons, this thirty-minute western has done several shows with that them. Richard Boone stars as …

Every time I watch two and a Half Men I remember the times this show actually used to make me laugh - it’s been a long time and this episode was no different.
This episode was about Charlie and Chelsea’s relationship. Charlie thinks she is cheating on him which she …

Inside Eventing takes a long look at behind the scenes of eventing in the horse world. The shows centers around David and Karen O�Connor�s farm and their students who aspire to be Olympian riders. I watched the first episode on RFD TV, and was very impressed. Eventing is an …

We’re still in 1980, October 3rd to be specific, when Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Death from the Past rolls around. The show began with a teaser that included World War II action in 1945 and an underwater lab of sorts which is being attacked. …

In the late 1970’s, James Michener’s sweeping novel Centennial was turned into an epic mini-series that sprawled two centuries. With superb acting and great writing and directing, this all-star drama is a must-watch; even the National Education Association said so, actually slapping its label of endorsement on each …

Alan Carr: Chatty Man is a pretty good show that is usually worth watching. Alan Carr has grown on me since he branched out with this, his own chat show, and I think he is a very funny guy. He will not mind me saying that he …

Overall Comedy Central is a pretty good channel. It could be a lot better though. Sometimes they play movies and shows that I think are stupid and not really all that funny. Occasionally though I will find a pretty good movie on that is quite funny. I think that …

Criminal Minds is a complex show. It’s one you can’t easily multi-task through. It requires you to be present as the case develops; that is, unless you just want to go from the crime to the bad guy and don’t care about how it came about. …

Tales of the Gold Monkey: Once a Tiger… focused on Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) going after a downed plane that was carrying some new and improved scopes that would be used for the Flying Tigers, which he used to be a part of. He’s driven in part by …

This review is of the American television show Modern Family, Season two episode 4, “strangers on a treadmill.” This episode gets it’s name from a reference to the movie strangers on a train where two strangers agree to kill someone for the other one so that the person close …

Custer’s Next to Last Stand is the fourth episode of this Richard Dean Anderson futuristic western from May 1995. As many of the shows do, this one combines some realism with their fiction. As you can tell from the title, it’s George Custer who gets the honor …

I suppose you could say that The Twilight Zone: The Mind and the Matter is a show about the human condition. It begins with Archibald Beechcroft (Shelley Berman) being annoyed with the world. He’s just a cantankerous man who is tired of noise and people, who he …

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 …

The Season premier of Laguna Beach, Season Three, was an absolute disappointment. I am not ashamed to say I fell in love with the first two seasons, being swept each season premier. Season three, however, does not show much promise of conflict, or developing relationships that the viewer can …

Synopsis: House and his team must figure out what is causing a rodeo cowboy’s seizures using non-traditional means because of his numerous injuries from teh sport. At the same time House has checked into a hotel and is getting over his break up with Cuddy in his own fashion.

The episode of nova called Lizard Kings: on the Trail of the monitor lizards, is a very interesting documentary. The show follows the adventures of a lizard expert, and his team, as they trap, study, catch and release lizards in the Red Sands desert in Australia. Apparently this desert …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Alice, a season five episode, starred, as always, Richard Boone as the gunfighter for hire, Paladin. In this show, he does a stunt that makes my heart sad and that’s because they most likely used a trip wire to fall a horse that …

Diagnosis Murder: Sister Michael Wants You guest stars Delta Burke in a delightful role as Sister Michael, an old friend of Mark Sloan’s who has a powerful punch and a lot of street know how. Sloan is portrayed by Dick Van Dyke, of course. In the story, …

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.
In this show, there’s a neat scene where Professor Matt Matic …

From the opening shot, you can tell what the plot of this episode is going to center on. A sick, bed ridden boy and two parents wearing what look like ceremonial robes. You don’t even need the episode title to tell you that the boy is going …

I got to watch one more episode of Clifford the Big Red Dog with my daughter today; “Good-bye T-Bone” and, while I do feel I’ve seen that particular episode before (just not necessarily as part of this show) I do think it was a pretty good episode to watch.
Basically, …

I am a big fan of comics and their characters and cartoon shows. Batman is a character created by DC comics and there have been so many cartoon versions of this simple superhero. One of my favourite versions is a recent one named “The Batman.” This story unfolds little …

I started watching this show a few months ago and I absolutely love it. It comes on very early in the morning (around 5:00 a.m. on TNT) so usually I try to check it out whenever I am awake. The premise of the show is very simple. …

This is a really cool episode on the show. The first story on the show, the one with the robbery of the jewellery store is really interesting. The crime itself is very sophisticated and the tools used to commit it are really unusual. The second story is kind …

Star Trek’s Divine Diva: Nichelle Nichols featurette was a very nice look at the wonderful actress who brought Star Trek’s communication officer, Uhura, to life.
One thing that has always struck me about Nichelle is how much she cared about what she was doing. She doesn’t talk about it …
