Turner Classic Movies has produced a wonderfully simple biography on Ron Howard, known to some as Opie on “The Andy Griffith Show” and as Richie on “Happy Days”, and well respected as one of Hollywood’s leading movie directors. It’s called “Ron Howard: 50 Years in Film.”
There’s nothing glitzy …

When I was a lot younger, I used to love this sitcom. For some reason I enjoyed watching the three young kids, Kimberly, Willis, and Arnold running around that two-dimensional looking penthouse apartment. The decorations were ritzy. I can’t really believe that they lived …

That Girl: Phantom of the Horse Opera is a really interesting show that features Sterling Holloway as Everett Valentine. Valentine used to play the organ when silent pictures ran in theaters. He provided the musical accompaniment.
When the show opens, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) can’t sleep because she …

Well, I have to admit, when it comes to Family Guy episodes, the episode “Death is a Bitch” is pretty funny.
Peter discovers a lump on his breast and ends up going to the doctor; only to find out he’s not dying. However, because the bill is so high, he …

“Winter Olympics” is the first episode of the “Inspector Gadget” television series. It’s interesting to watch this episode in part due to the changes that were made after it was produced, so there are some unique aspects that appear in this episode but not in the other episodes in …

Since my youngest daughter has yet to learn to sleep in on the weekends (her older sister and cat have that problem too), I ended up watching some TV with her this morning and ultimately settled for watching Spongebob Squarepants.
The first episode that was on TV this morning was …

I honestly believed that the absolute last thing this world needed was another doctor show. I have honestly always found doctor shows boring due to the fact that they are entirely set within hospitals which just do not provide an aesthetically pleasing view of scenery. I can’t stand watching …

This episode is the one wherein Jack finally comes to terms with the death of his son, Charlie. Or rather, an alien form which looks like Jack helps him to deal.
This episode had to happen. Kurt Russell had portrayed Jack O’Neill as a more, shall we say …

Laramie: The Track of the Jackal from season 2 is one of my favorites because it is one that gives Jess Harper (Robert Fuller) some emotional angst. It opens by sending Slim Sherman (John Smith) on a trip while explaining that Jess is going to be the temporary …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Tomorrow’s Child, which was one of the last episodes of this science fiction series to air back in August 1992, started out with a neat shot of a vessel speeding across the water. As we closed in, we saw that it was being driven …

I thought that this was one of the oddest episodes of the hit 1990s American television series “The X-Files”. Many people might wonder how it is that this one has managed to make its way into my top ten weirdest episodes of “The X-Files”. However I thought it was …

I can tell that this is going to become one of my favourite TV shows. I was doubtful at first, wondering just what was the point of another hospital drama (and to tell you the truth, I’m not a big fan of hospital drama), but this one is different. …

MacGyver: Countdown is the fourteenth episode of season one. It’s a very watchable show which has the action contained and rather subdued aboard a cruise ship. The sedentary action is watching Mac and his buddy try to disarm three bombs that have been set on the passenger …

This hour long show lasted for seven seasons; whenever there is a rerun I watch it. It still runs about once per day.

Have Gun - Will Travel: Young Gun is the ninth episode of this second season. It actually feels like a response to, or an extension of, the sixth show, The Protegé that had Peter Breck as a guest star. The circumstances are a little different, but …

From December 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Be Not Forgetful of Strangers is the 15th outing of this final sixth season of the western series. This is, as would be timely, a Christmas story, though it is not overt at first.

I love to watch the Drew Carey Show. I think this is one of the best and funniest TV shows I have ever seen. Drew Carey is just such a funny guy and he makes me laugh. I think the whole story about Drew and his friends drinking beer and …

Every Monday through Friday night at 9pm and Saturday’s at 7pm on the CW I get the chance to watch Married with Children. It used to come on at 10:30 and 11 pm at night which meant that if I had a long day I was likely to fall …

Highway Patrol: Temptation, a third season 1957 episode that focuses on the service of the California Highway Patrol, was an okay episode with some high and low points. As always, the show starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews. In this episode, he’s on the trail of …

When I first heard about Glee, I didn’t want to start watching it. But I started watching videos on YouTube with the actors and I realized that it must be a really interesting thing to watch.
First, if you don’t know what Glee is about —“ it takes place in …

It’s hard for me to decide if I like “Fringe” or not. On one hand I enjoy parts of the show. I’m a big science fiction fan and this reminds me more of the “X-files” than anything that has been on since. I’m certainly not the first person to compare …

I’ve never seen the mini-series Jack and the Beanstalk: The True Story until tonight, when it was broadcast in its entirety. Overall, it was a good show.
I don’t know if I like how they exploited the deceased Jim Henson by claiming it was his show. I think that was …

I do really like watching “Imbestigador” hosted by Mike Enriquez and aired via GMA Network every Ssturday night. It is never boring to watch this TV program. Mike Enriquez features exposes of various corruption in government agencies, unlawful activities of some erring citizens of the country, unlawful practices …

I ended up watching one more episode of the show Futurama last night with my daughter (I told her I would before making her go to bed since I hadn’t seen her all day). The episode we watched; Hell is Other Robots, was OK. But, it wasn’t as good …

As I predicted with last week’s Models of the Runway episode, the show is starting to get a bit on the predictable side. Once a designer is eliminated, it is pretty much a given his model will be too since the designers always seem to stick with their models; …

The Jerry Springer show has run its course and needs to be taken off the air for good and the re-runs never need to be seen again. I can’t understand how this show was so popular for so long.
I can’t stand this show because the show is stupid and …

Heroes Season 1 Episode 1- Genesis
This is the first episode that starts out really great series. The episode is mostly introduction of the characters and events that are to follow throughout the season. Southernmost part of the main characters in the show are discovering their powers. …

This episode takes place mostly in the past, specifically season one. Hiro has gone back to make another attempt to save Charlie. Charlie was one of my favorite characters back in season one so seeing her again was one of the joys of this episode. We …

I really have one major thing to say about The Virginian: Vengeance Is the Spur. I like the Alias Smith and Jones remake better. Seriously, it’s the same show with minor changes. I actually remember back in the seventies reading about how if a show seemed …

M*A*S*H: Springtime is a pivotal episode to one of the characters, but it’s also a show with a lot of gaps that make it a bit sub-par. I do like the location shooting here, which really wasn’t much of a location, except that the cameras went outside of …

I will admit that I am like many people who are disappointed with the current state of this “sports entertainment” company. Quite frankly, many of the episodes of “Monday Night Raw” and “Friday Night Smackdown” seem like reruns. The same three or four people compete for a …

I don’t know why but, even though I wasn’t the one driving to Philadelphia, I felt like I wasted a great deal of time watching the Ghost Hunters episode Fortuna & Topton.
I can see why Brian is no longer their case manager. He gets them some sucky cases. And, …

Even thou the first episode of Season 10 really left a bad aftertaste in my mouth, I wanted to give the series another chance. I’ve been watching Family Guy for years and wanted to see if the writers could redeem themselves in my eyes. That they were still capable …

All right, this is a pretty silly episode. The idea of a world where Texas runs America and lawyers decide who wins a case through the barrel of a gun isn’t exactly the most realistic of scenarios. However it is a bit of good fun and when …

Ghost movie, or horror movie, you may call this tv series. It tells a story about a woman who is able to see and communicate with the dead! Spooky huh? Well, this is an interesting series to watch for people who loves that kind of stuff, …

If you’re looking for a show to watch Tuesday nights, Law & Order Special Victims Unit is it. It has to be the best of the Law & Order franchise and I make sure never to miss an episode.
