Laramie: Saddle and Spur TV Show
I really enjoy watching Laramie: Saddle and Spur from the first season of this terrific western TV series. It guest stars Beverly Garland, who is recognizable from shows like My Three Sons and The Scarecrow and Mrs. King. She’s really great in this episode as she plays …
Gilligan’s Island - Home Sweet Hut TV Show
This is episode two and the castaways have decided to build a hut, only one hut to live in. I love how the castaways are optimistic even at the thought of having to live on a deserted island for years and years. Gilligan always causes crazy accidents and this …
The Cleveland Show
My family has been watching the show Family Guy for some time now (at least until our 5-year-old started repeating some of the stuff she shouldn’t have and we took a break from it) so we were interested when we learned there was going to be a spin-off starring …
Columbo Season 1 DVD Collection
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 …
Stargate SG-1: Crusade
Stargate SG-1: Crusade is definitely not a favorite show. The biggest problem with it is that Claudia Black is back as Vala, and that’s a sure sign of disaster. The horrid premise has her in the Ori galaxy using a device to contact the SGC, and in …
Highway Patrol: Hired Killer TV Show
From June 1957, Highway Patrol: Hired Killer was one of the last episodes of the police drama’s second season to air. It was definitely watchable, if only for the curiosity about the title character, the unnamed killer.
Len Hendry played a hired gun who shows up to take down …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Lost Bomb TV Show
From December 1966 comes this 13th episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s third season on TV. The outing is entitled The Lost Bomb. Earlier in the season, shows had extra focus on two of the more visible crewman, Kowalski (Del Monroe) and Patterson (Paul …
Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 1
Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 1 is just a sad beginning of the end for this TV favorite. The last two seasons are just not the SG-1 that I love. The introduction of Vala to the cast for the first several episodes is just atrocious, and the shifting …
30 Rock: Pilot
I can’t say that this pilot started out all that strong for me. The truth is that I turned it on, left the room and forgot about it until the next day, but then pilots are difficult, and there was a fair amount of humor in this one once …
Adam-12 Season 3 DVD Set
Thank goodness for Shout Factory. Because of them, the Adam-12 Season 3 DVD Set is available for purchase, and that’s a great thing. While I don’t always like the way Shout Factory organizes their various sets, I’m grateful that they are making shows available that Universal Studios …

This episode …
Gilligan’s Island - Gilligan’s Personal Magnatism TV Show
This is a great episode, lots of action, lightening strikes, and bizarre natural occurrences. The Professor has lots of challenges ahead of him. And I can almost see the gears turning in his scientific mind of his trying to help Gilligan. And this episode is definitely high up there …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.3 - Cold Turkey
This is a rather very funny episode that allows both Haim and Feldman some alone time together to hang out. It all begins with Haim catching Feldman having a smoke due to the stressful tension he’s had to deal with between Susie and Haim. So as a result, Haim …

Ghost Hunters International 2008 (Sci-Fi network show)
I like T.A.P.S., the show featuring the Ghost Hunters Jay and Grant. Those are the founders of TAPS, and they do a great job of investigating and debunking the ghost stories that they find across the country. I started watching this show a few years ago. …
Legend: Revenge of the Herd
Like the prior episode, the ninth episode of this offbeat western begins with Ernest Pratt (Richard Dean Anderson) trying to come up with a good story for his latest dime novel that features his now alter ego, Nicodemus Legend. It’s all about elk, which he describes as cute.
The …
Criminal Minds S3 E4
Criminal Minds Season 3 Episode 4-Children of the Dark
This episode is a bit different than the usual formula. The identity of the criminals is revealed at the very beginning, but there was a good reason why the writers had made that choice. The story tells of a series of …
Best Week Ever
I’m not sure if Best Week Ever is still on televsion, but “Best Week Ever” was a series which would be aired every week on VH1. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first since I realise that many of these programmed on Vh1 tend to be nothing …
Stargate SG-1: Allegiance
Stargate SG-1: Allegiance is one of the more tolerable season six entries of this show. The premise is the somewhat tentative alliance between the Jaffa and Tok’ra, all of whom are given refuge on a planet at the same time. It’s up to Jack to keep things …
Friends Episode: The One With Mike’s Ex-Girlfriend and Monica’s Hairdo
Friends Episode: The One With Mike’s Ex-Girlfriend and Monica’s Hairdo is pretty awesome, but personally, there are more awesome and funnier episodes from Friends. But this one ain’t that bad. As usual, you see Monica and Chandler debating on menial issues and this time, it’s hair issue. …

David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet
I remember watching David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet and it was during those glamor days surrounding the hype of the movie Titanic. It was such a very good episode and Kate is such a good talker.

Denise Richards: It’s Complicated Season 2
Are producers really serious about this show? First of all, when I found out that Denise Richards was getting her own reality show, I thought it was a joke. I didn’t think that someone with limited acting ability really warranted her own show. But then …
Heroes TV Show
Heroes is a great tv show. It is similiar to x-men, but I feel more viewers than x-men fans can relate. The show is about ordinary people, with extraordinary abilities. They must come together to save the world, and become heroes. There is of course villian(s), depending on how …
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia airs on FX, and is not a show for the faint of heart. If you’re easily offended by shows like South Park, you’ll find this show to be atrocious. Yes, this show is more offensive than South Park. The humor is …
High School of the Dead Anime Series
I have never been a fan of anything that features zombie. But I happened to watch High School of the Dead because I want to watch something new in the world of anime and zombies in anime are not as scary as the “real” zombies in movies or TV …

Michael Palin: Around the world in 80 days: Episode 1
I had never heard about “Michael Palin: Around the world in 80 days” until it popped up on Netflix recommendations, but since it was instant watch I decided to try it. I assumed it was a two hour documentary, but it was a short series made for the BBC.
The …

Trading Spouses TV show
Is this the best show on television or what? I mean, it is the most interesting show for sure. My apologies to all of the writers out there in the world of television, but I much prefer heavily edited reality to scripted unreality.
I don’t know exactly what …
Hawaii Five-O: One for the Money
Hawaii Five-O: One for the Money is a psychological drama surrounding one family. It’s never been a favorite of mine, but it does have some good acting in it.
Jeanette Nolan guest stars as the wealthy aunt of two men, played by Farley Granger and Paul Collins. Collins …
The Middle TV Show Season 1 Episode 22 “Mother’s Day”
As a mother this episode really resonated with me. The whole episode was about mother’s day and how a father’s perception about the day is different than what a mother wants and how father’s day is fantastic but mother’s day tends to fall flat.
This episode was …

The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 2 TV Show
The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 2 was good, but not as good as the opening hour that aired the prior week in January 1982. This picks up the story that has Colt and Howie in the middle of secret spy type stuff in Hawaii. They’ve …
The X-Files Fight Club Episode
I thought this was one of the most memorable X-Files episodes. It guest starred a famous comedian Kathy Griffin, and it was the 159th episode of the television series. It was also the 20th episode of season 7 of “The X-Files”. It was memorable because I found that the …
Project Runway, season 3
Now that there’s only one episode left in the third season of Project Runway, I can honestly say I can’t wait until it is finally over.
This season has to be one of the more annoying seasons I’ve ever seen. It seems to me that fashion has taken second place …

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 …

Hawaii Five-0: Ko’olauloa TV Show
Hawaii Five-0: Ko’olauloa was a superb outing for this hit new series. I’m truly enjoying this re-think of the old Jack Lord series, and I have few problems or issues thus far with the direction of the show.
This episode is a personal one for the character of Kono, …
Cracker: True Romance Part 2 TV show
Robbie Coltrane is the big cheese as Dr. Eddie ‘Fitz’ Fitzgerald in Cracker: True Romance Part 2. However, for me, his cheese is poisoned. I wasn’t impressed for one second with the acting or the character. He was a major turnoff.
The final scene makes me dislike …
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (tv series)
There was a point of time where I got very bored this year since there were no television series going on left for me to watch. They had all taken a break and I was looking for something interesting to help me unwind and take my mind off the …
