This review is for the fourth installment out of five called Titanic: The Mission. The documentary production was made by the British and had the unique stance of honoring the engineers who built the Titanic versus simply doing a tribute to the disaster itself.
The biggest focus of the …

From 1959, Highway Patrol: Women Escapees is the 32nd show of the fourth season, which means it was one of the last of this series which starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as Sergeant Ken Williams. This show was a tad different in that …

This 30th outing from Season 4 of Highway Patrol, a half hour police drama starring Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, is entitled Prisoner Exchange Copter. I was rather glad to see another show that gave us helicopters in the plot. If you go back and count …

Highway Patrol aired for four seasons back in the early days of television. It’s a rather iconic series for those who love police shows. This episode was the 29th one to air in 1959 and is called Killer on the Run.
The plot follows a man named Les …

Once again, it is Ashley …

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, …

Hawaii Five-0: Nalowale revolves around the discovery of a dead teenager which sets off a hunt for her sister, who is also missing. The Five-0 team is actually brought in by special request of the governor, who in this re-think of the Jack Lord drama is played by …

The Good Wife: Breaking Fast gave viewers a little change of pace in a way, and I liked it. For the first time, we got to see some of Alicia Florrick’s family, namely her brother, Owen. Owen’s presence opened up a lot of possibilities and brought some …

Nevada vs. Rodgers was the latest hour of the new decent drama and disappointing comedy show, The Defenders. The good part for me is that they more or less left the comedy behind this week, and that was delightful. I’ve said from the beginning that this version …

The 11th season of Dancing with the Stars continued with its seventh week of competition also being a celebration of its 200th episode. The underdog series took a while to catch on, but now it’s a staple on TV despite annual criticism over its B-level stars, celebrities, or …

For me, the most recent episode of The Next Iron Chef which was entitled Respect was a little lackluster for me. I’ll go so far as to call it bland. I wasn’t engaged by it or even that interested, and that is very unusual for me. …

Hawaii Five-0: Ho’apono was the latest episode of this crime drama to air. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the opening, not because of the big chase scene that was part of it, but because they showed us a famous old war ship. I totally …

I was curious and tuned into Oprah yesterday when the topic, and it is a long one, was ‘The 82-Pound Actress: Ellen’s Wife Portia de Rossi & the Secret That Nearly Killed Her’. Why they did a title that was that long, I don’t know. It’s almost …

From season 4, episode 34 of the half hour police drama Highway Patrol was called Express Delivery. It was another outing that focused on a gem courier. I’d say this series did at least one of those per season, so they had to rely on presentation in …

Titanic: The Mission Part 5 is the last hour of this British television documentary that charged four people with recreating some iconic elements of the luxury liner that sank on its maiden voyage. The emphasis for the finale was on safety equipment, including the Marconi wireless device that …

The second episode of Parking Wars’ fourth season began by following a ticketing agent in Detroit. That’s something the show added a while back, expanding their focus from just Philadelphia.
The Detroit parking ticket worker was Sonya, and after a nice, warm bit, the drama turned quite intense. …

Parking Wars is a reality non-competition show. The half hour program is in its fourth season now, and it follows various parts of the operation of the Philadelphia Parking Authority. I call them the car cops.
New this year is Sherdona, a worker in the parking authority office. …

At the beginning The Apprentice: Pedicab Confessions, Stephanie met with the Rockport CEO. She was the winning project manager from the last task. The thing that struck me is that Rockport is really backing this reality show this season. They were the focus of one task …

Have Gun - Will Travel: American Primitive aired in February 1963 and was the 21st episode of the western’s sixth and last TV season.
I enjoy the opening. When we first see Paladin, played by Richard Boone, he’s in his opera going duds, complete with top hat and walking …

From December 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Be Not Forgetful of Strangers is the 15th outing of this final sixth season of the western series. This is, as would be timely, a Christmas story, though it is not overt at first.
Paladin arrives in a town, unnamed at …

Criminal Minds: Safe Haven was another very violent hour of television, though it was also a compelling sixty minutes that held my attention throughout. This was a combination of the story and the acting, primarily from the talents of Mare Winningham.
In this show, the BAU goes after a …

Thomas Gibson, Joe Mantegna, Paget Brewster, Matthew Gray Gubler, Kristen Vangsness, and Shemar Moore return for another dramatic hour in Criminal Minds: Compromising Positions.

The Apprentice in the United Kingdom continued with this third outing in which the job applicants are given a very early morning phone call and told to meet Lord Sugar at Piccadelly in a half hour. Nothing like short notice; it’s fun.
At the beginning, Lord Sugar changes up …

From July 2010, In Performance at the White House: A Broadway Celebration was held in such a small room (the famed East Room) with so many people crowded into it that sometimes it’s distracting. The stage is tiny, too. The edited program began with President Barack Obama …

Being in the United States, for a while I wasn’t sure I was ever going to see the finale of The Great British Bake Off. I’d managed to get copies of the first five competitions, but that sixth was elusive until now.
This cooking competition series began with ten …

Cold Blooded, the latest episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, didn’t impress me as much as last week’s show about hoarding did, but it was close. This was more of a Halloween themed show, not that many shows could be called that from this current year of episodes. …

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: House of Hoarders took a look at something that is getting a lot of attention in today’s world, and that is the topic of hoarders. Hoarders are essentially those who cannot throw anything away. As much as some of us consider ourselves to …

Directed by Charles Haid, which might explain Michael Warren being in this episode since both appeared on Hill Steet Blues, Criminal Minds: Devil’s Night had its moments that served to entertain to an extent. The story concerned what is has been an annual event in Detroit in recent …

Chase: Havoc was one of the more interesting hours of this freshman NBC series that focuses on a team of United States Marshals. The head of the team is Annie. She’s a bit of a wild cannon in my opinion and I’m not sure yet if I …

This episode of Chase was called Above the Law. The series stars Kelli Giddish as Annie Frost, who heads her own team of United States Marshals. The woman has issues, though, and those always seem to be simmering beneath the surface.
The hour chiefly revolves around a man, …

For me, Chase: Paranoia was pretty intense, though that wasn’t necessarily a positive. In some ways, this episode felt like a rerun, not of this new series, of course, but of other shows and movies I’ve seen. That doesn’t mean it was not an enjoyable watch; it …

Changing Lanes was a documentary of sorts that aired in 2010 on the BET Network. Over a couple of months, viewers watched several young racers vying to win one of four spots on a new racing team in NASCAR. This new team was called Revolution Racing and …

The 8th show of Black Gold’s third season on the air was, well, lackluster and highly repetitive in my opinion. In essence, the hour picks up where they left off in the 7th show with the workers letting off steam at the bar, only that is where a …

The United Kingdom of The Apprentice with Lord Alan Sugar continued with this sixth season the show, the fourth of the job interview. In the show, the teams are pitched products and have to choose two to back and sell to store buyers. This is not a …

Donald Trump’s prolonged job interview for the recession’s apprentice continued with The Apprentice: Broadway Boardroom. Like the title might seem to indicate, this challenge involved Broadway musicals.

For the Quick Fire Challenge of Top Chef: Just Desserts: Black And White Fashion, the competitors had to use just one pan and without the normal electric appliances, so that was quite a challenge. It was to be a savory dessert made of foods like bacon and beets.
This …

Glee: The Rocky Horror Glee Show opened with a couple of things grabbing my attention. In the opening credits, there was Meat Loaf of all people, and he was using his last name. I haven’t seen that one in a while.
Then the opening teaser with the big …

This episode of The Defenders, known as Nevada v. Sen. Harper, was rock solid, and it is the kind of hour that I want to see. It’s not that there aren’t still annoyances, because there are, but the dramatic portions are really wonderful to watch.
The opening scene with …

The Defenders: Nevada v. Cerbone had some real annoying moments for me. Mainly, it revolved around James Belushi and his character of lawyer, Nick Morelli. In this hour long episode, Morelli is on a diet, so he is frustrating and annoying everyone in his law firm.
Aside from …
