Well, so far the latest disk of the second season of Ghost Hunters has been a disappointment. The episode Ghostly Grace & The Palladium had potential but both were a waste of time.
The first case was a visit to a residence. Those are always a waste of time. No …

A smash hit that spawned a wealth of catchphrases, Little Britain has certainly been one of the big hits of British television of the past ten years. The product of Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Little Britain first arrived on British television screens back in 2003 when it launched …

It comes on too late at night for me to watch it on a regular basis but the show In Plain Sight is slowly growing on me. It’s just too bad they had to take the tired old plot line where the main character gets shot; in the season finale …

Whenever the TAPS team ends up in New Jersey, it is almost always going to be a disappointment. The cases in the Garden State Ghosts episode weren’t much different.
They visited two places, an old mill and the proprietary house that once housed a royal governor. The highlight of both …

Well, that was a halfway decent Ghost Hunters episode. I started out watching “The Fear Cage” expecting not to see to much. But, it turned out to be pretty interesting.
The TAPS team visited the Cashman Inn; where a lot of confederate soldiers and generals stayed leading up to Gettysburg. …

Well, this episode of Bones, Spaceman in a Crater, turned out to be decent; but the earlier episodes usually were; unlike some of the more recent ones.
This episode had the team investigating remains that apparently had fallen from a plan and shattered upon contact with the ground. After seeing …

Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 5 is the big wrap up to this P.D. James murder mystery. We get lots of answers and more suspense. This is a much better conclusion than what I’ve seen in some of the other television adaptations of James’ novels.
I must …

Much of Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 4 reminds me of an episode of Colombo. Actually, most of the production does. We have Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh having numerous face offs with a chief surgeon of Nightingale Hospital, Stephen Courtney-Briggs (Joss Ackland). Their verbal battles …

Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) is searching for the killer of two women. The first, Heather Pearce, was poisoned during a training session for the nurses. The second, Jo Fallon, was poisoned in her bed. Fallon was pregnant, adding all kinds of drama to the …

Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 2 continues the P.D. James story that takes place at Nightingale Hospital. This confines the story to taking place mostly in the hospital, and thus, it’s a story I like better than several of the other city location stories. For whatever …

From 1984, this P.D. James story takes place mostly within the confines of a hospital at which Stephen Courtney-Briggs is a key surgeon. At the beginning of the story, we meet Martin Dettinger (Richard Marner) as he’s being admitted to the hospital. He has a difficult time …

The wrap up to this P.D. James novel adaptation on television, A Taste for Death, is surprisingly intense. There was a shocking onscreen murder which is ultra rare. We often see murder victims, but we rarely see the murder itself. As a result, I think I …

I enjoyed the early portion of A Taste for Death - Part 5. I liked the opening, out on the lake, in the rowboat. Some of the outdoor scenes in this taped production are the best. This mystery continues with Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) still …

Sadly, A Taste for Death - Part 4 is too slow and uninteresting to float my entertainment boat. The pace is one of a crawl, even with the discovery that Inspector Adam Dagliesh (Roy Marsden) makes. Murder mysteries can be long in the tooth, but this tale …

There were a few good moments in A Taste for Death - Part 3 as Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) continued to try and solve the circumstances surrounding the death of Sir Paul Berowne, who had died in a church.
The most fun portion was a scene in Dalgliesh’s office …

A Taste for Death - Part 2 brings the end to the fascinating character of Sir Paul Berowne. He’s been murdered, along with a tramp. Or was it a murder suicide? And who killed who? There are a lot of questions, and few answers as …

A Taste for Death - Part 1 from the P.D. James novel was produced in 1988 and starred Roy Marsden as Inspector Adam Dalgliesh. Like most of these movies/mini-series that are made, this is a story with lots of little subplots and a lot of characters. It …

Revelations and the long resolution of Death of an Expert Witness occurs in this sixth and final episode. We’ve been following the murder investigation conducted by Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh, played by Roy Marsden, into the death of Edwin Lorimer and, more recently, Stella ‘Star’ Mawson, who, as …

There’s some excitement in Death of an Expert Witness - Part 5 as Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) continues the search for a murderer. However, as always happens in P.D. James novels that are turned into TV series, there’s never just one murder. Death breeds death …

I was very pleased that Death of an Expert Witness - Part 4 was much better than Part 3. The pace was better and the scenes more intriguing.
One of the neat things about this P.D. James television adaptation is that we get to hear the recently promoted Chief …

I’m not really sure if viewers have known this before or not, but it was news to me. In Death of an Expert Witness - Part 2, we learn that Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) is a poet. This does become a side point in the …

Death of an Expert Witness - Part 2 continues some six weeks later in the month of August. Sadly, Jean Dalgliesh and her baby both died. We don’t see any of this. What we do get is a scene between Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh and a …

Death of an Expert Witness - Part 1 gives us something different than we see in most other P.D. James film adaptations. We get the date of the story, which helps the viewer to track how much time has elapsed between scenes. This ultimately becomes important in understanding …

I’m including the final two parts of Cover Her Face as one entry because it lost me a little in the fifth part. I drifted away from the story more. Perhaps I was just tired or maybe the story lagged, but while it had me early on, …

Cover Her Face - Part 4 has Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh still searching for the murderers of Stavros Veludis and Sally Jupp. Based on the P.D. James murder mystery, this television version of the novel has moved fairly well thus far.
A character I haven’t talked about yet who …

Cover Her Face, Part 3, moves this P.D. James murder mystery along significantly. One of the things I like about this particular outing, though, is that the storyline is much easier to follow than those in later outings. I felt that way about The Black Tower, too. …

In Part 2 of Cover Her Face, the 1985 multi-part adaptation of the P.D. James novel, the murder of Stavros Veludis is still being investigated.
The heavy concentration of the story, though, focuses on a beautiful young woman named Sally Jupp. She’s annoying as can be, but quite honestly, …

Cover Her Face was another tale of Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh. Apparently, that’s a grade below Inspector, which is how I’m used to seeing the Dalgliesh character. Unfortunately, I’m not watching these television adaptations in order, so I keep getting the story at various points. I’ve …

I’m a tv series fanatic, I can’t stand not watching them for over than a day. Any kinds of show interests me, like horror, sitcom, drama, action, reality show, et cetera. I’m following many series, some of them are worldwide known such as Lost, Heroes, Grey’s Anatomy, …

I myself love the little mystery shows. I really don’t know why or how, but they grab & keep my attention. But one show that keeps me interested in it is Crime 360; this show is so educational, & so amazing. I never knew about what …

Fringe: Season 1 Episode 1 is a really mind-blowing TV program that I truly am starting to love. I know that it is too early to say, but this TV series starring Joshua Jackson and Anna Torv.
The one playing the Mad Scientist; that guy is also super …

After being disappointed by the Monk Season Premiere, I was glad when Psych came on to save the day.
The season premiere of that show “Extradition from British Columbia” turned out to be much better than expected and I think I’m starting to think of this show as my favorite …

If you like watching movies, Lifetime Movie Network is a channel you absolutely must subscribe to! Depending on your cable provider, it may be included in your current package or you may need to add it and be charged a monthly fee. Either way, this is a …

I was looking forward to the season premiere of Monk this time around because I know it is the final season and I was excited about where they might take the show.
Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed in this episode.
It starts out with Monk and Natalie standing in line …

I watched a total of two Simpsons episodes last night and have to say the one entitled “Gone Maggie Gone” was a classic one.
A couple of things set up the plot of this episode. Marge stares at an eclipse and temporarily loses her eyesight. While she is unable to …

I haven’t seen too many recent Simpsons episodes but I had a chance to watch a couple of them (in re-runs last night).
One of those, “In the Name of the Grandfather” was kind of cool.
I love how this episode starts out. The Simpsons end up buying a hot tub …

OK, the SVU episode “Annihilated” had to be one of the most twisted, sick and sad episodes I’ve seen. Seriously, how can someone do something like that to their family?
The case starts out with a woman being murdered and a search for her fiancé, who is reportedly in the …

I was watching some repeats of Law & Order SVU last night and saw one I’ve seen before but have never seen the entire episode before “Streetwise.”
This is a halfway interesting episode because it starts out with an apparent rape and murder at a park that turns out to …

After watching the last season two episode “Crescent Hills & Dr. Ellis” I was half expecting a big let down from the episode that followed it on the DVD “Waverly Hills.”
But, I will say, despite that anticipation, I wasn’t disappointed.
This episode brought the TAPS team to a run down …

OK, I have to say it. I have watched plenty of Ghost Hunters episodes in the past and have been left with doubts about what they have found. But, when I saw the Season 2 episode “Crescent Hotel & Dr. Ellis” I have to admit I was pretty creeped …

I used to absolutely love listening to Wendy Williams on the radio! I stopped listening to her only because I was not in the car at the time she was on the radio anymore. So when I saw that she now has a talk show I was …

Jeremiah: The Bag provides us with a bit more background on Jeremiah’s past. He, like all of the young people not yet having reached puberty, survived the Big Death which had killed everyone else. For 15 years, these children raised themselves in a world without luxury and …

Jeremiah: To Sail Beyond the Stars has a more magical quality about it than any of the other episodes thus far in the series. In fact, I’d even call it poetic. When Claire (Missy Crider) talks about sailing beyond the horizon to see what is out there, …

Jason Priestley guest stars in Jeremiah: And the Ground, Sown with Salt, a show that stars Luke Perry. These two actors were quite the rage back in the days of Beverly Hills 90210, a series I never cared for. I’ve been surprised by Perry in this science …

My initial problem with Jeremiah: Man of Iron, Woman Under Glass, the second episode of the season, is that it doesn’t pick up where the movie pilot left off, and because of how the movie ended, I would have thought that would be logical. Instead, the boys are …

Jeremiah: The Long Road is the pilot movie for this science fiction series about life after the Big Death, an unknown disease that killed everyone over the age of puberty. Only the children survived, left to fend for themselves and create a new world, one that is chaotic …

Jeremiah: The Complete First Season is a nice DVD collection. The artwork is attractive with nice imaging of the series stars, Luke Perry and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. The set includes six disks. It’s presented like a book that opens out in both directions. You fold each …

The final part bring the story of Devices and Desires to its conclusion. This is the big moment when Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) solves the puzzle and the viewers get all of the answers. This 1991 six-part story was best on the best-selling novels of P.D. …

There’s a surprising event in this fifth installment of Devices and Desires. It’s not all that shocking, but at the same time, it turned the murder investigation upside down.
P.D. James has written numerous mysteries for his central character, Commander Adam Dalgliesh, to solve. Always well dressed and …

Devices and Desires - Part 4 belongs to a little girl named Theresa Blaney, played by Lisa Ellis, who confides a secret. The young Theresa has an odd father who seems to love her but acts in a suspicious manner. It’s really hard to tell what’s going …
