TV Reviews
Psych: Ghosts
When Psych first came on the air, I only watched it because it was the show that was on after Monk. But, I have to admit the show is growing on me enough where I’m willing to tune in to USA just to watch it.
The newest episode, Ghosts, was …
CHiPs: Surf’s Up
CHiPs: Surf’s Up has Jon and Ponch (Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada) getting away from Los Angeles’ smog and freeway traffic by taking a temporary duty in Malibu.
One of the stories the CHP officers deal with is a car thief who takes off in a car not knowing there’s …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 6: Ascension
This episode picks up with Mulder getting Scully’s message wherein she is subsequently kidnapped by the escaped mental patient/UFO abductee named Duane Barry. A thought occurred to me just after I wrote the review for the last episode, why would he take Scully? He had no interaction with …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 12 Has Section 9 discovering a file that seems to be a virus and try to stop it because they don’t know when they’re going to strike.
This was a very good episode and it was very well done and …
The Philanthropist
I had really high hopes for The Philanthropist when I first saw the commercials. It looked like an exciting action/adventure show with a real human element, and important moral message. The pilot lived up to those expectations. Telling the story of a billionaire who suddenly snaps …
The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew is one of those shows that blends television with the surreal, not just as the theme for a series but for the half-hour drama being watched. It stars Larry Blyden as the title character. He’s a western star who likes …
M*A*S*H: Mr. and Mrs. Who?
M*A*S*H: Mr. and Mrs. Who? is pretty funny. From the eighth season of this hit comedy, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) returns from spending time in Tokyo. He had such a good time that he doesn’t remember a thing. Thus he’s thrown when …
North Little Rock’s Old Mill
I love touring and taking pictures of old mills. I have been to almost every old mill left standing throughout Missouri and Arkansas throughout the years. I was fortunate to finally get to the Noth Little Rock Old Mill on one of our family siteseeing outings a while back. …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Runaway
My wife and I had about an hour to ourselves last night and, since we were too tired to do anything else, sat down on the couch and watched a re-run of the show Law & Order SVU called Runaway.
Overall, this turned out to be a decent episode.
The episode …
The Jeffersons (TV Show) - Jenny’s Thesis (Episode)
“Jenny’s Thesis” serves as the fourth season finale of “The Jeffersons” and it’s easily one of the television show’s strongest episodes yet, and perhaps one of the series’ most outstanding episodes. Just as “All in the Family” was usually at its best when it tackled a very real issue, …
St. Bear’s Dolls Hospital
St. Bear’s Dolls Hospital is a kid’s show and I first saw it while baby sitting for a relative. It is basically what the name states. It is a hospital for broken toys to come to and get repaired. They seem to have some toys that are regulars on …

Dawson’s Creek
There is no show that depicts adolescent innocence and first loves quite like Dawson’s Creek. Even though the show is no longer on the air, I still enjoy watching re-runs as I relive the experiences of the Dawson, Joey, Pacey trio that reminds me so much of my teenage …
The X-Files Gender Bender Episode
This was one of my favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties television series “The X-Files”. This was because this one explored the whole issue of gender bending which was still fairly new in terms of having operations to convert into either a male or female in nineteen ninety …
Space Force, TV series (2020)
It’s funny to see how the Chinese have become the main rivals of the Americans instead of the Russians. They are ruining American satellites and squeezing a piece of land on the moon. That’s me talking about the Space Force series.
Remember when Trump threatened to create these troops? A lot …
Burn Notice: Comrades
Burn Notice: Comrades brings us Michael Westen’s brother, Nate, who is far less interesting than Michael is. In fact, I don’t really care much about him. The two have a strained relationship that leaves you guessing about Nate’s true intentions the entire time.
I do like some of …
Arrested Development TV Show
This has to be by far, one of the best tv shows I have ever seen. The tv series is hilarous! It has a growing fan base too. Arrested Development has three seasons. (Hopefully there will be more if they bring the show back). You can watch all of …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Descent, Part Two
The only reason I prefer Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Descent”, Part Two over part one is mainly because part two has more action. The story still makes very little sense, but at least there is some action to the story. The action I am referring to takes …
That Girl: Don’t Just Do Something, Stand There

Law & Order SVU: Signature
I’m not sure why Law & Order SVU feels the need to bring in guest stars rather than relying on its main cast members but last night’s episode ‘Signature’ was weak at best.
Ericka Christensen was brought in as an FBI agent hunting down a serial killer (who we later …
Home Improvement TV Episode: Tool Man Delivers
Well, I finally had a chance to watch a Home Improvement episode while home at lunch (I got home in time, in other words, because the traffic wasn’t quite as bad as it normally is). I ended up seeing the one entitled Tool Man Delivers.
This one is actually kind …

I ended up watching Home Improvement at lunch today because Hogan’s Heroes wasn’t on. It was a somewhat funny episode: “Mr. Wilson’s Opus.”
Basically, Randy convinces Wilson to direct Romeo & Juliet for their school play and Wilson agrees and Tim agrees to design the set. The only problem is, …

Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 2 concludes the show begun the week before though it doesn’t answer a major question about the Daniel Jackson character.
The best parts of the show are the scenes with Daniel and Replicator Sam. They are cunningly written and well portrayed. The scenes …
Cowboy Bebop episode 11
Sometimes, drams can slow us down to the point of insanity. Other times, they can amuse us with stupid jokes and even more redundant situations. On the case of Cowboy Bebop episode eleven, they are the most radical parody of Ghost busters, that I have ever seen. When Jet …
Tom Green
Tom Green is a very funny guy! He has always made me laugh with his show. What I like about him is that he doesn’t care what people think about him or what he says. It’s a lot of fun to see him on TV and movies. I think his …
American Idol
It seems like only yesterday when Kelly Clarkson stood under a rainstorm of confetti and was named the American Idol… Now we are already on Season 8 and this mega-popular reality show shows no signs of stopping. With a new series of planned trading cards, it looks like it …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Marionettes, Inc. TV Show
From May 1985, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Marionettes, Inc. was an interesting piece of entertainment. Author Ray Bradbury does the opening introduction, but it’s not actually introductions like Rod Serling did with The Twilight Zone or Boris Karloff did with The Veil. Instead, his opening introduction is …
Smallville Season 7 episode 10

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Concrete Mixer TV Show
Don’t be fooled by this title: The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Concrete Mixer . It sounds like it could be a show that deals with children, construction, and such, but it’s really about the mixing of cultures, or perhaps the dangers of such. From January 1992, the …
Stand Up 2 Cancer 2010 TV Show
For the second time, a special telethon-like program called Stand Up 2 Cancer aired on several networks on September 10, 2010. With all three network news anchors — Brian Williams, Katie Couric, and Diane Sawyer — appearing together, the one hour event is unique in that it aired …
Greek: Season 1
When I first saw this new ABC Family television show advertising, I did not think I would enjoy it. I thought it would only be yet another silly and immature teenage television series which I at the time had no cares about like “Dawson’s Creek”, “Laguna Beach” and “Lincoln …
Sliders Complete First and Second Seasons
There was a time when Sliders was one of my favorite shows on television. A unique science fiction television series, it highlighted the adventures of four travelers as they “slid” between parallel dimensions, trying desperately to find their way home.
These first two seasons are the highpoint of the …
Mike & Molly: Pilot TV Show
The pilot for Mike & Molly aired in mid September 2010. This is one of the new crop of comedies that I decided to try out and see if I was missing something. The answer across the board is pretty much a resounding no. The jokes …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Brotherhood TV Show

Gotham is a new TV show on Fox that I have given into the hype and decided to watch. I had heard about it while browsing one evening online. I figured I would give it a chance. I will be honest and say that I am a batman fan. …

Basically, Scooby and …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy versus Dracula
I finally got around to watching the 5th season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer today; starting with the first episode, Buffy versus Dracula.

As you can guess by the title, Buffy gets to face the …
