MacGyver: GX-1 once again brings back Elyssa Davalos as Nikki Carpenter. As I recall, there was some thought about making her a regular, both as a competent agent for the Phoenix Foundation and as a potential love interest for MacGyver. As I also recall, it just didn’t …

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 …

Star Trek: The Corbomite Maneuver is one of my all time favorite Star Trek episodes of any of the series. It’s the essence of what Star Trek, and space exploration, is all about. That’s why it’s so wonderful.
Though this show aired in November of its first season …

From 1959 to 1963, NBC aired a wonderful western called Laramie, starring John Smith and Robert Fuller. Many folks still remember this series, which had an enduring impact on many. Unfortunately, it’s yet to be released on DVD, or even video.

Following in episode ten’s footsteps episode eleven has absolutely no action, but unlike the previous episode this one had little to offer, although for a first time viewer it might be an enjoyable insight. This episode is basically just one large flashback showing the history of the Country of …

Bob Hope was the Man of the Hour for this episode of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, and boy were there some influential beings on this dais, including then Governor Ronald Reagan and General Omar Bradley.
Reagan was actually very funny. Oddly, I liked him as an actor, but …

This was the second episode of Don’t Stop Believing, a British TV series that pits singing and dancing groups against one another. In each episode, six teams compete. One is voted in by the viewers and then one other is given the wildcard by the judges.
My limitation …

Stargate SG-1: Ex Deux Machina was a weird sort of season nine entry for the science fiction series. In fact, the ending is one of those things that people would ward off as being science fiction, so I guess in the end, it makes a weird sort of …

I think Beverly Hills 90210 is probably one of the worst TV shows ever made. I hate soap operas, so with more reason I hate this show. It’s a show about a bunch of young collage age kids who have sex with other and everyone. Seriously that is just …

Stargate SG-1: Lockdown is one of the best episodes of season eight; in fact, of all of the latter seasons of the show. It’s full of good stuff.
In this story, Anubis has made his way to Earth and ends up taking over different people’s bodies. The problem …

FBI versus CIA. There is something going on in the CIA and its up to the FBI to solve the mystery. There is an informant whose life is in danger. I found a lot of this episode hard to understand. So it’s not one of my favorites. But I …

I follow this Australian police drama which deals with the homicides that an Australian police team of investigators try to solve. The homicides are complex, and most are not set in black in white. I struggled with the accent for several episodes, but now I find their accents interesting, …

I was watching TV late last night and came across some re-runs of the show Futurama. I haven’t seen this series in a while and was glad they were showing an episode I have actually seen before and love called Parasites Lost.

I love watching The Dr’s every morning on Fox 11 here in Tucson. The morning show airs nationally, and has been the next best thing to hit morning TV since The View! Better than The View actually, since The Dr’s at least teaches you something.
The topics on …

I love The Biggest Loser. My mom and I watch it every Tuesday together. I find it motivational. It does get frustrating, however, if you’re trying to lose weight with the show because they lose so much because all they do is exercise every day. I have learned, however, …

Jack Frost was another vintage cartoon that I saw recently. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite as enamored with it as I thought I might have been. I love all kinds of holiday films, and it wasn’t that the story wasn’t good as that it wasn’t as complete as …

Don’t Tread on Me is the third installment of HBO’s mini-series, John Adams. It aired in 2008 and starred Paul Giamatti in the title role, with Laura Linney as Abigail Adams.

I have been watching Joel McHale host The Soup for years now, and I never get tired of watching him tear into reality TV stars, plastic-looking talk show hosts and other general douchebags every week! I don’t watch much reality TV, and generally try to steer clear of …

I have finished watching Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 2 yesterday on my local TV channel and it was another fun and dazzle episode once more with lots of colorful characters filling through. For a start, you get to see Gabrielle trying so hard to get back inside the …

There are a few notable things about M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice from the fourth season of the medical comedy series. First, it’s just the fun of watching Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) trying to work some magic and get Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) tomato juice for breakfast …

The Andy Griffith Show: Mountain Wedding from April 1963 once again features Briscoe Darling (Denver Pyle) and his backward hill family. Quite frankly, I’m not that big of a fan of the Darlings. While the shows are entertaining and good quality, for whatever reason, they don’t really …

American Idol is staring a brand new season and this season is starting out with a splash. The Dallas audition had some great talents and some that are just plain weird. My favorite out of the two hour show is the guy that auditioned last. He wore a white …

The fourth season of Roseanne had its high points, but it also had quite a few low points. This was the season where they introduced Mark’s brother David, which was one of the high points. I really liked this character because he added a nice little twist to the …

The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet is one of the classic episodes that people love to see. It’s an intriguing mystery that leaves you going ‘whoa’. The story surrounds Bob Wilson (William Shatner in his second Twilight Zone appearance), a man just recovered from a nervous …

First off, let me tell you all that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Usually I don’t like dramas too much, but this one is exceptional. It stars Hugh Laurie, Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Robert Sean Leonard, Jennifer Morrison, and Jesse Spencer.
The Show is all about a doctor named …

Midway through the second season of Highway Patrol, the episode which aired was called Counterfeit. I actually found this show to have an interesting set up. It captured my interest and had me watching. It didn’t even feel dated to me, and that says a lot …

Now this is how you make a Ghostbusters episode! No ridiculous comic relief that doesn’t work, but a crisis that tests the Ghostbusters’ abilities and an opponent who forces them to think outside the box.
The opening scene establishes the threat as a city worker is seemingly attacked …

This show is full of quick, snappy dialogue with many references to literature and pop culture. It is about the relationship between Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory. The show began with Rory’s entrance to Chilton high school, and progressed from there to Rory entering Yale University.
The two live …

In the past, Mike Farrell, who plays B.J. Hunnicutt, has written some episodes and he’s directed one or two, but I believe M*A*S*H: War Co-Respondent is the first one that he both wrote and direct. It centers around guest star Susan St. James, who appears as Aggie O’Shea, …

Eh, saw yet another Law & Order SVU episode last night, “Transitions” and, once again, I find myself very unimpressed with the show.
It’s not really the writers’ fault. It’s just, after so many seasons and so many episodes, it’s very hard to come up with something that is going …

M*A*S*H: Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler is a bit of an off-kilter episode for me. It’s never been one that I enjoyed all that much. Alan Fudge guest stars as Captain Chandler, an injured soldier who believes he’s Christ. Most of what happens stems from this plot …

Ultimatum is the ninth episode of season one of Justice League: Unlimited. Is is also one of the weakest episodes in the series, although it does start a major plotline involving the United States government.
This episode introduces a group of young heroes so forgetable that I do not …

Last night’s episode of House, Brave Heart, wasn’t too bad.
After suffering through a long baseball game waiting for it to come on, I was a bit confused at first because it looked a lot like a cop show. But, it turns out the case involves a cop who comes …
