This is show is so great. I only caught it during the second season but instantly fell in love with it. The characters are very well developed and you learn something new about them every episode as well as clues to their past and how it relates …

Laramie: Night of the Quiet Man is an interesting show that had a unique concept for its time. In fact, Laramie as a western was very forward thinking. Their season opening for the fourth year was amazing and so far ahead of what other shows were doing. …

The television show on the cable station MSNBC called Lockup is great. The show should be watched by any teenager you may have in the house. It depicts what life in prison is like. How dangerous it is even though you might think being locked up …

The Simpsons has been around forever and it’s the kind of show everybody knows about.
Those of you that haven’t seen it are missing out. Why? Because it’s funny and it’s current. By current I mean that the writers keep the material fresh and relevant to what …

As a child, it was a family ritual to watch the Columbo on TV together. So when Season 1 of Columbo was available on DVD, I bought and fell in love with Columbo all over again. It’s a five disc collection and has 8 episodes, each about …

I intended on watching a movie last night after the kids were in bed. But, my wife got the TV first and we ended up watching a mini Clean House marathon instead. Fortunately, I ended up liking some of the episodes that were on.
One of them, The Brooks Family, …

All of the cable news networks have a slogan, or more than one; Fox News has “Fair and Balanced” and “We Report, You Decide” but none are as accurate in the opinion of this viewer and political junkie as MSNBC’s. With its line-up of entertaining and informative shows and …

Secret Ballot opens on Halloween with Don Hollinger arriving in costume to tease his girlfriend, Ann Marie, better known as That Girl. The season three story actually has nothing to do with Halloween, but it was a nice way to acknowledge the event without devoting an entire episode …

I got the first season of the show Monk for Christmas and finally got a chance to watch the very first episode again; Mr. Monk and the Candidate. This is a fantastic episode.
Even though I do wish they would have spent a bit more time talking about the death …

Beast Wars - Dark Voyage is a very enjoyable episode that is quite unlike any other episode in the series. In this episode, four of the Maximals are blinded after a Predicon attack strikes a cache of energon. The blinded Maximals must then attempt to make their way back …

The first TV episode of the cult, surreal comedy The Mighty Boosh, Killeroo, is the perfect opening to the first series. It sets about immediately establishing the signature banter between the writers and performers Noel Fielding and Julian Barrett. This double act is one of the main …

This show is about a secret place called Warehouse 13, there a lot of artefacts are stored, and all these artefacts are somehow dangerous for people. There’s the keeper in the warehouse called Artie and two agents who search for the artefacts.
This was one of the most boring and …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Data’s Day” is a fun episode to watch. Unlike every other episode of the series, this episode’s story is told from Data’s perspective. The story follows Data as he goes about his “typical day” while the character speaks in the background. Data is …

I have seen advertisements for the show Burn Notice before but, for some reason, just never got around to watching it. I think it’s because it didn’t look like it would be anything overly special.
However, Friday night, my wife and I were watching TV and, just as we were …

Grey’s Anatmony with Ellen Pompeo is a must watch show. I have to be in front of my television every Thursday night at exactly 8p.m. for Grey’s Anatomy. I must admit that I am addicted to watching the staff at Seattle Grace go through their drama in the operating …

Catherine Tate returns with her many guises, bringing with her many fan favourites and a few new faces.
It’s very much same old, same old; but this third series is certainly a step up from Tate’s last outing. Generally, things seem to have been upped a notch. There’s still …

Homer’s neighbor is shifting and gives him some advice, so that they will be able to sell the house without Homer causing any embarrassment. Homer says he will not do what he wants. The poor neighbors find it difficult to sell at first, but later they are able to …

True Jackson VP is a very good sitcom for children. Though in real life, it’s not possible for a teenager to become a vice president of a company at the age of 15 as she is doing office and adult jobs instead of being in high school. True Jackson …

I finally got a chance to see an episode of That 70s Show that I haven’t seen before; Babe I’m Going to Leave You.
This episode takes place shortly after Kitty’s father dies and after Jackie, seeing Kelso with his California girlfriend (Jessica Simpson), blurts out that he’s still her …

You have to love a show that has kids walking in on their parents having sex in the morning in their first scene. I hadn’t seen a kids walking in episode on tv in awhile, it is not the first show to have done it but the material …

This is the episode that I was worried about with J.D. the dog. I just don’t like to spend my time worrying about innocent animals, and that’s what I do for most of Dead Like Me: The Bicycle Thief. J.D. gets out, and the Lass family goes …

Lisa is good at everything, except one field, and that is sports. She tries her best, but cannot do well in sports at all. However Bart is very good at ice hockey. On one particular match, the entire family goes to see Bart’s game, there Apu realizes Lisa’s potential …

True Blood is the new HBO hit series based on the acclaimed fantasy vampire series by Charlaine Harris. I first saw the show after a co-worker prompted me to watch it, even though I had never read the books (there were eight books out at the time the show …

I watched the first season or two of Curb Your Enthusiasm recently. It’s a comedy show that used to be on HBO and it won a bunch of comedy awards so my favorable review is going to be nothing new to the enlightened television watcher who by fluke …

Ross and Monica are devastated to find out that their Grandmother is really sick in the hospital and they are called to come to her bed and say their goodbyes. When they do arrive at the hospital, they find out that she has already passed. When they go into …

What is it about other people taking chances that is so fascinating? I have found myself totally addicted to DEAL OR NO DEAL, and I hardly watch any television at all!
I can take or leave American Idol, and Survivor, though I occasionally find them entertaining, but I just HAVE …

Got to admit, after a disappointing episode before hand (Something Blue), we finally got an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that is very memorable; “Hush.”
I mean, how many other series have attempted to do an entire episode where none of the actors could speak a word (in this …

Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 20 has Tougasa remembering something about the Laughing Man logo and Section 9 investigates a new lead in the case.
I liked this episode because it had plenty of surprises, the twists keep getting better and better and the story is so …

Having just discovered Confessions of a Teen Idol on VH-1 yesterday during a re-airing of its fourth episode, today I tuned in for the latest showing, Episode 5.
The standout for me here was Jaime Walters, of Beverly Hills 90210 fame (I mistakenly stated he was on Baywatch in my …

Unfortunately, Columbo: A Case of Immunity is one of those episodes that really doesn’t appeal to me. It guest stars Hector Elizondo as a foreign embassy worker, so he has diplomatic immunity; at least, on the surface. He’s a security worker who kills the security chief and …

The episode title makes it pretty obvious what the conflict of this story will be. In The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Socrates’ Sister, Iphigenia, the sister of Socrates Poole (Christian Clemenson) arrives in town to defend one of the men accused of murdering Brisco’s father, along with …

Why is that there is always one traitor on every world to mess things up? I suppose it’s natural, but as a plot device, it’s just way overused. It’s too much of the easy catalyst for why things go wrong. This is what we have again …

Star Trek: The City on the Edge of Forever is probably the most classic and well produced episode in the entire original series. It’s received much acclaim over the years and is fondly thought of by fans. From April 1967, this episode features Joan Collins as Sister …

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 …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Keeper of the Flame is a pure father and son outing for the series. Airing in January 1962 during the second season, the tale focuses on young Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) and is new role as the Keeper of the Flame for the …

Not every show, even that of a series you love a lot, not be of interest to everyone all the time. Sometimes, there are those that bore or for whatever reason just don’t lure a person in. Such is the case for me with Columbo: The Most …

Divide is exactly what Stargate SG-1: Divide and Conquer did to SG-1 fandom, and it didn’t conquer anything. All it did was sever the fandom even more.
Stargate SG-1: Divide and Conquer is the upsetisode that took footage from the previous Upgrades episode to serve the purposes of this …

Beast Wars - Call of the Wild is an episode that I found a little on the boring side even though the basic concept is an interesting one: what would happen if the Maximals were forced to stay in beast mode for an extended period of time? Apparently, according …

One of the oddest television reality shows I have ever seen is a series called Cha$e. It is supposed to be like a game boy game for real life Trey Farley is the host of the game show. The players have to survive for a total of sixty minutes …

As I mentioned before, I started watching re-runs of the show Scrubs on TV whenever I get a chance (and there’s nothing better on). One of the episodes I ended up watching Sunday was entitled “My Day at the Races.”
This one was actually pretty good. JD is turning 30 …

I have never been a bit fan of the show The Closer. I never really found anything about it I didn’t like. I just think there are too many cop shows on TV now and can only watch so many without feeling a bit burnt out.
However, I didn’t turn …

This sixth season episode of Stargate SG-1 does nothing for me at all. It’s one of the reasons I just groan through most of the shows. This one is called Prophecy, and it focuses on Jonas Quinn, which may be why I just don’t like it.
The show ties …

Beast Wars - Fallen Comrades is an episode that marks the introduction of the first of many new characters. A stasis pod tumbles down in an area not yet seen before on the show: one that is covered in snow. Both factions send members to recover the stasis pod …

MacGyver: D.O.A.: MacGyver is a neat little episode where MacGyver gets a nasty case of amnesia and ends up believing that Pete is a terrorist he’s been hunting for years. The face off is really a great bit of angst at the end of the show. It …

One of our local stations aired a re-run of the Simpsons that I have seen a few times but have never grown tired of; Sweet and Sour Marge.
This one starts out with Homer trying to set a World’s Record. When he can’t do it on his own, he convinces …

This was a really nice episode guest starring Nelly Furtado. She did a good job, I didn’t even expect her to do that well.
In this episode the team investigates two separate murders, where no one is eager to talk. In the first case, a professional shoplifter is suspected in …
