The Golden Girls
This review is about a show that is near and dear to my heart. I don’t often get “hooked” on a tv show, much less feel the need to watch the episodes over and over. In fact, more often than not, I turn the channel to a …
Adam-12: Log 76: The Militants
Adam-12: Log 76: The Militants is a rather serious episode of this thirty-minute police drama from the mind of Jack Webb. It begins with the shooting of a police officer and a black militant. It becomes a circus and one of those politically hyped stories where no …
Star Trek: The Cage - Extended Version TV Show
The beginning of the Star Trek legacy was back in 1966 with a pilot produced by Gene Roddenberry called The Cage. No one could imagine that this would be the birth of a legendary show that would last well beyond Roddenberry’s lifetime. In the mid-eighties with the …

It’s amazing how one episode on an on-going series could change the relationships of pretty much every character on the show.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Lover’s Walk” is one of those episodes.

Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura
When I saw there was a show called Conspiracy Theory and it starred former wrestler/governor Jesse Ventura; I was intrigued. Unfortunately, it came on at the same time as one of my favorite shows so I didn’t get to see it when it first aired.
I finally got a chance …
Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth
One of the notable things about Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth is that we actually hear an alien language being spoken. Most of the time the aliens have been speaking English. Of course, that’s standard practice for science fiction series, but that is precisely why it sticks out …
Wife Swap
I have watched this show a couple of times on lifetime movie network. It is somewhat interesting and entertaining to watch. Some episodes are a lot better than others. I think it gives people a learning experience who do the wife swap. My favorite part of the show is …

“Daredevil” series on Netflix
For years now, it seems like it is government-mandated to watch all of the Marvel films, because as much as I try, I can’t seem to keep myself out of the theater! The “Daredevil” series on Netflix, although successful, seems to not be as etched into the mainstream as …
America’s Got Talent: Semi-Finals Results Part 2 TV Show
I really haven’t enjoyed this season of America’s Got Talent. The talent has been decent, but I’ve so often disagreed with the judges. It’s a bit disheartening to see some of the insanity that goes on with the judging. I have no problem with America’s votes …
Hip Hop Abs Work-out video

Stargate: Infinity: Stones TV Show
Stargate: Infinity: Stones is a story that centers on Stacey, Major Gus Bonner’s niece. She’s a feisty, independent scientist. Actually, she’s probably a variation of Samantha Carter on Stargate SG-1, only with pink hair.
While on an alien world, she is given some special stones to wear as …
Burn Notice - “Bad Blood” episode
I’ve heard about “Burn Notice” that is airing on the USA Network, but I never caught a full episode until tonight, when Michael Shanks guest starred on the show for the first time. Michael is my second favorite actor of all time, so there was no way I …

Ghost Hunters 100th episode
Well, we watched the 2-hour special for Ghost Hunters 100th episode last night and, for the most part, their investigation of Alcatraz lived up to expectations.

Yes, they heard some …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-15-10 TV Show
The September 15th edition of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show pretty much bored me. I just am not a fan of hers and while she was a bit more relatable with her audience, she isn’t someone I enjoy watching.
One segment of the show involved designer Tory Burch, which …
Family Guy: Road to Rhode Island
While I’m somewhat of a Family Guy fan, some episodes of the show are a bit too lame and lack the funniness I look for in a television sitcom.
The episode Road to Rhode Island is one of those episodes.
The episode starts out with Brian feeling a sense of abandonment …
