The 29th episode of Highway Patrol’s first season was a nice show called License Plates. I say nice because I really enjoyed it. It entertained me and brought me smiles, which I appreciated. That’s mainly because of the interaction between California Highway Patrol Chief of Police …

From September 1959, Kelp Forest, a show from Sea Hunt’s second season, really didn’t do much for me, and the reason why is that there’s nothing new in this show, including the guest stars.
Here’s the thing. Actor Ted de Corsia has been in multiple episodes of Sea Hunt. …

From 1957, Highway Patrol: Hostage Copter was the 38th show of the second season of this police drama. This show was one I enjoyed quite a bit and one of the main reasons for that was guest star Barbara Eden, who played Kathy O’Shea. Early on in …

Following are a few notes on this …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire, the 18th show of the 2nd season, was a terrific episode to watch. However, just a few moments into the show, it might look very familiar to some.
This story is a variation of the movie the series …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea struck gold with this second season show, the 17th of the year, called The Phantom Strikes. It’s absolutely one of the best episodes of the entire series, and I adore it. Alfred Ryder made his role as Captain Gerhart Krueger …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Creature Below! was the 16th show to air during the 1965-1966 TV season, which was the second year of this sci fi series about the nuclear submarine, Seaview. The Seaview should have billing: it’s a vital part of what makes …

From June 1962, the fifth season of this successful western series, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Knight was a somewhat odd show to me in the way that it played out. It opens with some fun in San Francisco, at the Hotel Carlton where Paladin (Richard Boone) …

The 39th show of Highway Patrol’s second season on the air was called Rabies. I don’t like the title because I’m an animal lover, and I don’t want to see any animal hurt. It’s just something I don’t enjoy seeing. At any rate, the show opens …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Machines Strike Back, episode 12 of season 2, guest stars Roger C. Carmel as Admiral Halder. I always thought Carmel should have had the John McGiver role in the toy episode or even the Victor Buono character from a few …

John McGiver guest stars in this 1965 hour of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea called The X Factor. His character is Alexander Corby. I like McGiver, though oftentimes, his roles drive me nuts. He’s a solid actor, though, and makes just about anything worth …

I haven’t seen this movie yet, but I’ve seen the trailer, and it really looks a little confusing …

I really enjoy watching the History Channel’s Ice Road Truckers series, especially this season. I think one of the reasons is that there is a little less emphasis on Hugh Rowland, known as the polar bear. His ridiculous and near constant use of profanity just turns me …

Well, actually, the title is a misnomer, and I’m not sure that I agree with the decision for the One of Six Voted Off episode of So You Think You Can Dance.

While watching this February 1992 The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Martian episode, I was never sure where the story was going to lead. I kept making assumptions that proved not to be exactly correct. I liked that and maybe that’s why I kept watching and trying to …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Let’s Play Poison aired in February 1992, and to be honest, I thought it was going to be a lot better than it proved to be. In fact, what began with some potential for real intrigue and storytelling ended up being a huge disappointment …

Airing in February 1992, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Utterly Perfect Murder was oddly intriguing and even compelling, which disturbs me a little. The show’s main star was Richard Kiley, who normally isn’t someone who captures my interest. That said, I have to admit that there was …

In this episode of DC Cupcakes called Roller Girls, the two sisters who own their cupcake bakery business are making over a thousand cupcakes for an event for the DC Roller Girls, which I believe is a Roller Derby team in Washington, D.C.
While that is going on, they also …
