Diagnosis Murder: The Last Laugh: Part 1 is a very memorable episode, or rather both hours are. I’ve always recalled this one. One of the reasons is that it guest stars Dyan Cannon, and she is fabulous in this murder mystery. Her Bonnie Valin character is …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Gospel Singer from season five opens with Hey Boy (Kam Tong) advising Richard Boone’s Paladin of a potential job. I’ve noticed that Hey Boy tends to bring Paladin ideas for his jobs all the time now. I guess Paladin doesn’t like …

Judge Judy is a pretty good show and there are quite a few things that I really like about it. The first thing would be Judge Judy herself, she is very entertaining and I love her attitude because she is tough and she doesn’t take no crap from anybody …

I was flipping channels early this morning while taking care of my youngest daughter (she is an early bird) and came across another A-Team episode I haven’t seen before; West Coast Turn Around.
This one had the A-Team helping out a farmer who was being forced out of business by …

I couldn’t find much on TV at lunch today and ended up watching a re-run of Home Improvement called “Future Shock.” I normally like this television series (which I have only seen in re-runs because it was on at a bad time when it was still on the air). …

I wasn’t a huge fan of the show Ghost Hunters Academy last year. But, because there wasn’t much else on TV last night, I did decide to sit down to watch the Season 2 premiere of it.
It still isn’t my favorite show. But, I did see enough changes in …

I honestly don’t watch the show According to Jim all that much, even though there seem to be re-runs on all the time. I’ve seen a few episodes and they were OK but they never seemed to offer anything that was any different from other series.
I did, however, end …

And so Glee’s descent into the real world continues.
With its revolving plot lines and hit or miss ‘themes’. the once magical “Glee” has become a what was once cool, TV show. Following in the footsteps of shows like Lost, Glee seems to be a victim of its own …

American Idol; an American TV past-time for 10 seasons. And although it was great in the beginning, I can’t help but think its become a little redundant over the years.
Finding artists like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Jordan Sparks, etc. wasn’t a waste of time, by any …

There is a new channel in our cable television channels. It is called Baby First. I think this channel is being offered for small kids or babies. The programs that you will find in this channel are not the same with the kids channel that we have. But all …

I’m afraid that The Fall Guy: The Silent Partner just doesn’t do it for me. In fact, it turned me off the first time I saw it, back in April 1982. Aside from a boring script, I have never been able to stomach Mickey Gilley, not as …

Rod Serling introduced this episode of Night Gallery by saying that he was considered to be the Howard Cosell of the crypt. That was an odd start, but it makes sense, in an odd way. Then we get to the evening’s entertainment, a half hour vehicle written …

The Fall Guy: Scavenger Hunt was a power punched way to conclude its first year of shows. It opened up extremely strong by showing a scene being filmed in the interior set for the Psycho house. Once again, William Bryant played the director, a part he took …

Remembering The Fall Guy An American Classic is a wonderful featurette that gives fans some insight into just how The Fall Guy came about. I found it to be interesting and a lot of fun. I broke into a smile at several points, in fact.
Series creator and …

The Fall Guy: Three for the Road did have its moments, and most of those included recurring guest star, Judith Chapman. She’s a terrific actress, no matter what role she takes on. Her Kay Faulkner actually annoys me off and on, but she’s well done and very …

I actually remember seeing stories about this episode when it was filmed. I believe shows like Entertainment Tonight had segments on the filming. The coverage of The Fall Guy: Charlie was focused on the opening scene, which supposedly took place in Reno, Nevada. I don’t know …

In The Fall Guy: Child’s Play from March 1982, Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) and company go after another bail jumper, only this time there’s a catch. It’s not long before they enter a ransacked home and discover a young girl, Libby, who is the daughter of the man …

By the time of The Fall Guy: Guess Who’s Coming to Town?, Doug Barr’s Howie Munson’s doing more in the stunt world. He’s done a few jobs that we’ve seen as the series has gone along, and in this show, he’s now flying planes, although he slams Colt …

Highway Patrol: Fisherman’s Luck didn’t feel very lucky to me. It was just one of those half hour offerings when I wasn’t lured into the story or captivated by what was happening within the ranks of this fictionalized California Highway Patrol department.
Perhaps the reason for my lack of …

From January 1982, The Fall Guy: No Way Out had a fairly good opening sequence. Though the main story is always about Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) chasing down some bail jumper, we most always get a fun stunt segment to remind us that he’s normally a stunt man.
In …

The Fall Guy: The Adventures of Ozzie and Harold is not a favorite episode of mine by any stretch of the imagination. There are a number of reasons for this. First, the opening stunt sequence I don’t find believable, not because of the action, but I just …

The Fall Guy: Goin’ for It gives us a different type of opening for the adventure drama, and that’s probably a good thing. Changing up a format occasionally keeps viewers on the edge, not certain what to expect. Not only did they change what was usual, but …

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 …

Midway through its first season, The Fall Guy presented a two part episode which turned out to be the best of the season to that point. License to Kill: Part 1 was the most intriguing episode, the first one that all these years later, I really wanted to …

From March 1982, The Fall Guy: The Snow Job has Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) and company in Aspen for a combination work and leisure trip. The opening teaser in the Colorado resort town has some very nice night scenes of skiers lighting up the slope. I really loved …

From February 1982, The Fall Guy: Ladies on the Ropes is one I’d just rather forget to be honest. There are some shows where either the topic or just the theme in which a story is placed doesn’t excite men, and this is definitely one of those.
Basically, Bail …

The beginning of The Fall Guy: Ready, Aim, Die is very frustrating. Mostly it’s because I just can’t stand Doug Barr’s Howie Munson character. He’s just so dumb and shallow all the time. Everything about what happens in the opening scene drives me nuts.
Now that’s heightened …

Hey, Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) finally got lucky in The Fall Guy: Soldiers of Misfortune. It made me laugh, but they included a bath tub scene at the beginning (Seavers loves bubble baths) of the show with a bikini-clad beauty ready to help enjoy the bath with him. …

I am just reviewing this one episode of the series – Derren Brown investigates The Ghost Hunter. Derren Brown is the great ‘destroyer of fantasies’ and master of the anti-climax! I do appreciate that he wants to expose the many frauds who prey on people’s need for …

Have Gun - Will Travel continued its third season with episode 32 entitled Ambush. In this show, the action starts right away without any fanfare, pleasant San Francisco teaser, or polite banter. It’s right to the intensity of the situation that Paladin (Richard Boone) finds himself in.
Paladin …

This particular show, Sonar Story, the tenth outing of the adventure series’ fourth season, felt very slow and dull to me. So much of it was underwater, but it wasn’t showing sea life or some natural phenomenon of the ocean; rather, it was Mike Nelson tracking down heroin …

As respects the season ending episode of The Good Wife called Running, I’m going to start before I watch the show and guess that the promo they’ve been showing all over television ad nauseam of a crucial decision making moment for Alicia actually takes place in the last seconds …

I’m not sure, but I think The Fall Guy: The Japanese Connection would have been better called The Hawaiian Connection. This is the show starring Lee Majors, who plays a stunt man named Colt Seavers whose side job is working as a bounty hunter. Most episodes start …

One thing about The Fall Guy, it has an old school opening that you just don’t see much anymore. The full theme plus standard intro in this first season lasts almost three minutes. In this era of 10 second, title only spots, this feels like forever. …

Good Luck Charlie is Disney’s recent television show, and it’s a lot different from their other ones. For example, in this show, no one is famous. No one lives on a ship, and nobody can see the future. That’s what I like about this. Good Luck Charlie follows a …

The To Boldly Go … Season Three featurette continues the goal of giving fans a lot of insight and stories about the episodes that appeared in that season. There was, however, a bunch of conversation about the campaign that saved Star Trek from being canceled after two seasons. …

The Fall Guy: That’s Right, We’re Bad has that classic bit that ends up included in the opening theme, where Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) is trying to take a bath and everyone under the sun keeps coming in. It’s humorous. There’s a reason for it, of course, …

The concept behind The Fall Guy: Colt’s Angels is that Colt Seavers (Lee Majors), his cousin Howie (Doug Barr), and co-worker Jody (Heather Thomas) pretend to be bikers in an attempt to capture the gang’s leader. They look pretty funny in that get up that they wear. …

I finally got a chance to watch the full Law & Order SVU episode entitled Raw last night. And, I have to say it was one that got my attention.
Basically, the episode starts out with a school shooting (those always disturb me a bit considering my oldest is in …

I had some free time at lunch today so I ended up turning on the TV in the hopes of watching something interesting while having my lunch.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find much on (apparently they took off the Home Improvement episodes I used to watch)so I ended up watching a …

I ended up watching an A-Team marathon this past weekend and one of the episodes was entitled Waiting for Insane Wayne.
This one was actually better than I thought it was. The team members are actually minding their own business and are mistaken for another group of mercenaries a landowner …

Death Note Episode 19 begins with Masuda feeling irritated that no one takes him seriously on the Kira case and he decides to investigate Yatsuba, the company suspected of working with Kira, on his own under the guise of being Misa Amane’s manager.
This episode was very clever, because …

I came in a bit late on the A-Team re-run The Duke of Whispering Pines this past weekend and I didn’t get to see the first few minutes of it. But, I did get to see the majority of this episode and, for the most part, it was pretty …

Hmm….I was enjoying the A-Team re-runs I had an opportunity to watch this past weekend. But, I have to admit, the one entitled The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas was a bit much for me.
Basically, in this episode, Hannibal and the gang take on a group of mafia guys …

I ended up watching an A-Team re-run this past weekend; Black Day at Bad Rock, which ended up being somewhat good; though it was a bit predictable at times too.
Basically, B.A. is wounded in a fire fight and is taken to a small town hospital where the doctor things …

Death Note Episode 18 begins with Light and L having a fist fight over the fact that it seems that L wants Light to be Kira even though he’s been cleared of suspicion. Meanwhile, Kira begins killing again, but this time it seems he’s killing for profit rather …

I ended up stumbling across the A-Team episode Mission of Peace early Sunday morning. And, because I had missed the first few minutes of it, I found myself watching mainly in an effort to figure out what the heck was going on.
Overall though, it was a pretty decent episode.
Basically, the …

The other night, before bed, I ended up coming across an A-Team re-run that I didn’t intend on watching at first but ended up being somewhat interesting; Beneath the Surface.
What got my attention on this one was the stupid move Face makes at the beginning; attending his orphanages’ reunion …

From 1961, Sea Hunt: Mercy Ship had some interesting intrigue to it. Though the stories often include fascinating sea creatures, this episode takes a turn that puts deep sea diving expert, Mike Nelson, in the middle of a war.
Playing Nelson is Lloyd Bridges. He’s very good …

Overall, I rather liked Highway Patrol: : Prospector. In this half hour police drama, a prospector thinks he has struck it rich when he ends up with a lot of money, only he didn’t come upon it properly. No, he didn’t steal it, but he finds it …
