The Cleaner: Five Little Words is an intriguing episode from the show’s first season. It’s one that is full of flashbacks where we see some of what William Banks (Benjamin Bratt) has gone through as he battled drugs in the past. We get to see how he …

Synopsis: An accident at an age reducing spa causes all the members of planet express to grow younger and puts Fry and Leela back into their teenaged years.
What I liked about this episode: One of the things I like about many episodes from this series is, about halfway through, …

Well, once again, the show House seems to be changing the cast again. At least they managed to bring back Thirteen and, since there really wasn’t any point in her, got rid of Cameron (though I have a feeling we’ll see her again).
This wasn’t a bad episode either. You …

It is really hard to believe that this series was first broadcast on British TV about 30 years ago because the topics covered are as relevant now as they were then.
A comedy series but as they say - many a true word spoken in jest - and in the …

As the three-night premier of this season’s Dancing with the Stars continued, it was the ladies who were center stage. There were two ‘wow’ performers for me, and both of them shocked me.
The first was Mya. Now, honestly, I don’t even know who she is. Apparently, …

This episode picks up where the last one left off, with the Doctor attempting to make contact with the Silurians so that a treaty can be negotiated. Suffice it to say, it does not go well. The Silurians aren’t the most reasonable species out there, at least at …

First of all, owning the Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a feel good, science fiction, and sentimental thing for me, so watching these shows again was really wonderful.
The five-disk set have a collector’s box that they fit …

Another incarnation of Luc Bessons original film ‘La Femme Nikita’ hit the airwaves this year, with Asian bombshell Maggie Q filling out the title role and surprisingly, its pretty damn good.
For those of you not familiar with the character, Director Luc Bessons ‘La Femme Nikita’ first introduced the …

The Good Wife: Taking Control picks up at the press conference that we saw at the end of the last episode from the first season. Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) is again throwing his hat into the political ring. The question at the start of the hour is will …

The Incredible Mr. Limpet is a wonderful film from Warner Brothers that combined live action with animation. It’s a terrific tale of Henry Limpet, played by Don Knotts, who is a man who loves fish and then finds one day that his wish comes true. He falls …

Fame aired 16 episodes in its first season on NBC back in 1982. The story is about students at New York City’s School of Performing Arts and stars Debbie Allen, Albert Hague, Erica Gimpel, Valerie Landsburg, Gene Anthony Ray, and several others.
This is a four disk set, two …

Ren & Stimpy is a cartoon about a dog and a cat who are best friends and roommates. Each episode they go through different things and sometimes they gain, sometimes they lose. Ren is a Chihuahua dog and Stimpy is an alley cat, no particular breed. I think that …

Emergency! is one of my all time favorite shows and I have very little that is big time negative to say about it. Most of the shows I adore, and that goes true for this episode, called Botulism. It’s from season one of this emergency medical drama …

Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) and his father, Leonard (Harry Morgan), take off for the island of San Marcos in Blacke’s Magic: Prisioner of Paradise. The reason for the visit is the arrest of long sought criminal. Michael Constantine played the small role well. He didn’t have …

I think one of the best television shows of all time is “Three and a Half Men”. In fact I am watching it right now, and it is a rerun I’ve seen before, but I can’t help but laugh out loud. They have absolutely the best writers, and …

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’d intentionally waited for a few weeks after this series debuted before reviewing it because I wanted to get a better sense of what the show is about. The first episode was pure sex, or pretty much so anyway, with the climax (pardon the pun!) being the swapping between …

That was a somewhat interesting episode of Bones last night, the Dentist in the Ditch.
Basically, there is a Civil War reenactment and, while a couple feuding actors start digging into a creek bed, they come across a skeleton. At first, it is believed to be the body of a …

I had to chuckle as I watched the early portions of The Cleaner: House of Pain. For some reason, I just never recognize people on this show. Whether that’s supposed to be the street and drug element of the series, I don’t know, but I’ve discovered after …

Cowboy Bebop Episode 4 has Spike and Jet in a restaurant trying to get something to eat when suddenly the restaurant is attacked by a group calling themselves the “Space Warriors”, and are an extreme environmental group with a bounty on their head. Spike and Jet decide …

Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story was a hoot and one of the best non-Robert Fuller episodes of Wagon Train. Fuller actually missed several episodes due to an accident, so it’s a long stretch without seeing Cooper Smith. Still, this story had some fun in it.
Melanie …

“Look at that. One day we’ll be strangers in our own land.”
That’s actually the last line of this episode of Hawaii Five-O called, appropriately enough, Strangers in Our Own Land. It all has to do with development and protecting the land. It begins with the murder …

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 …

CSI Season 4 Episode 12- Butterflied
This was a very powerful episode, not as much for the investigation part of it, but the back story. The victim in this episode looks very much like Sarah, which has a very deep effect on Grissom and he refuses to rest before he …

From May 1958, Highway Patrol: Credit Card was the 29th show of the third season of this dramatic police show which starred Broderick Crawford as Dan Mathews, the chief of police. He’s after the thieves who are after credit cards. Now that is a crime for the …

I like the show Numb3rs a lot. Some people say that it is just another police show…FBI sorry, in which good guys always get the bad guys. Well that’s not far away from the truth I admit but I still I don’t watch most of CSI and similar police …

“Pokemon, I Choose You!” is the first episode of the animated television show, “Pokemon”. As the first episode of the series, it works on a number of levels. For one thing, the first episode of any new television show needs to establish the primary characters and provide the primary …

I recently started watching a show called Reba which has Reba Mccantire in it. It’s a really funny show and I think a lot of people could relate to it no matter what there age or gender. Everyone in the show is funny especially Van. I think mothers could …

I wasn’t real impressed with The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Day It Rained Forever, a story of this science fiction anthology series that originally was seen on television in November 1990. The acting was okay, but I wasn’t taken by the story. It was slow, lacked much …

From season two of Due South comes White Men Can’t Jump to Conclusions, which has Constable Benton Fraser believing in a youth who has been set up by his friends to take the fall for a shooting. They mystery begins with simple sounds, the sounds of gunfire that …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Farmer Takes a Wife presents Andy and Barney with the task of helping ‘Big’ Jeff Pruitt find himself a bride, something he is anxious to do. Naturally, Jeff is pretty outlandish and finding a woman to be his wife isn’t going to be …

Tales of the Gold Monkey, the pilot, Part 2 concludes the pilot, which surprised me by holding my interest.
As Jake Cutter, Stephen Collins has the right amount of swagger, heart, and courage. I love his relationship with his dog, Jack, and the blooming emotions he’s getting with Sarah …

Criminal Minds: Remembrance of Things Past began with what I thought was just a ridiculous, poorly shot scene. Days of Our Lives’ Mary Beth Evans portrayed Candice DeLilly with Michael Spound of Hotel fame as her husband, Sam DeLilly. I actually enjoyed seeing them. I can’t …

I really like the TV show Malcom in the middle. I have always enjoy this show ever since the first day I saw it. I remember in the old days when I used to watch this show on Sunday night. It’s a very good show and I think it’s very …

It’s the morning after in Emerald Point N.A.S., the tenth episode. My hero of the show, Lt. Simon Adams, let me down, though I figured it would happen eventually. What I really don’t like are all the lies that these supposedly honest people tell. Simon is in …

I’m not certain that punching a lava man is a good idea. First, what’s to say it would be effective? Does anyone know what a lava man is made of? Secondly, it seems that since they are glowing red and spit lava on people that it could be dangerous, …

From February 1964, veteran actress Gladys Cooper portrays an elderly and lonely woman, Elva Keene, in The Twilight Zone: Night Call. The half hour is mostly Cooper’s. In this show, she’s a little crotchety, a characteristic derived from decades of living alone and having never married. …

Here is another quite creepy episode of the genius show Criminal Minds. In this show a victim is discovered in the woods with the evidence that he was kidnapped and then shot with arrows, they way that an animal would get hunted. The team is sent to investigate and …

One of the reasons for watching Remington Steele: Thou Shalt Not Steele from November 1982 is that the episode guest stars Cassandra Harris, who is perhaps better know as being Mrs. Pierce Brosnan. The British actress sadly passed away years ago of cancer, but shows like this show …

Mad Hungry with Lucina Scala Quinn: Lunch on the Go featured pressed sandwiches, something Quinn says she likes to make for on the go activities. The half hour included a lunch that went beyond the sandwiches to include grilled veggies, like gas charged red peppers and squash.
She talked …

Anyone who has kids (especially girls) is probably familiar with Dora the Explorer. And, it is definitely one of my daughter’s favorite programs.
When she first started watching Dora, I admit, I wasn�t that big of a fan of the show. The plots were a little too simplistic and very …

The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and Opie’s Pal, from January 13, 1964, was one of the few episodes where Opie’s human fallacies came out.
One of the good things about The Andy Griffith Show is that the characters weren’t perfect. Andy frequently misjudges people. He apologizes, a …

For years I have been an avid fan of the Today Show, with Matt Lauer, An Curry, Kathy Courice and Al Roker. I was saddened to see Kathy Couric leave to anchor channel 2 news. However with the new edition of Meredith Viera who I never like on the …

Fooly Cooly Episode 2 begins in Naota’s house where Noata now has a new addition to the household besides Haruhara Haruko, who is now the housekeeper, Canti is a strange little robot, nicknamed TV Boy, who came out of Noato’s head (I’m not making this up) and after getting …

Game of Thrones is a new TV series on HBO that has just completed its first season. The show follows the now series of five books.
First of all, I would highly recommend this series. I have already done so to my siblings.
Opening sequence
The opening title sequence coupled …

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 …

The seventh episode is a season highlight and is quite amusing in many ways. Haim basically corners Feldman into a place that he doesn’t want to be and Feldman has no choice but to go along with it or else he’s royally screwed - and it would all be …

Man vs Wild is a hit TV show on discovery channel, a very unexpected blow out. The program has something to appeal to everyone; from the beautiful scenery, the intensity of the plot, the outrageous feats, education value, and the thrill of it all.
I make it a chore to …

The Biography series, often presented on A&E but now more often and regularly shown on The Biography Channel, has produced some outstanding and informative hours of programming. Sometimes I learn a lot and at other times, it’s just entertaining. In the case of the biography on actress …

“E! True Hollywood Story” is a documentary series that airs on E! Entertainment Television. Each episode features a biography of either individual celebrities or individual television shows and movies. I find most of them pretty interesting to watch, since they give you a background on famous people we …
