The Twilight Zone: Death Ship TV Show
I like watching The Twilight Zone: Death Ship, though it’s not a favorite. Still, with Jack Klugman and Ross Martin in the leads, it’s good stuff. It’s also another intriguing plot surrounding death that is thought provoking, though not in terms of relaying a message, but rather, …
The Twilight Zone: Mute TV Show
In another review I wrote a few minutes ago, I had said that the human mind is a powerful thing. That’s not exactly earth shattering news, but it is something that The Twilight Zone exploits and uses in many of its stories. It’s never done more so …
The Twilight Zone: He’s Alive TV Show
From January 1963, viewers were presented with The Twilight Zone: He’s Alive, and frankly, I don’t even know what to say about it. I don’t like it, and I never have. It’s unpleasant to watch, and while there is a message, I just don’t care to wait …
The Twilight Zone: Valley of the Shadow TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Valley of the Shadow is very enjoyable to watch. It’s a mystery that held my interest and kept me guessing, all the way to the end.

The Twilight Zone: The Thirty-Fathom Grave TV Show
I’ve never been much of a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Thirty-Fathom Grave, which is just a little overdone for my tastes. Essentially, it’s a story about a navy cruiser that picks up the sound of hammering on its sonar. Investigation leads to the fact …
The Twilight Zone: Passage on the Lady Anne TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Passage on the Lady Anne is a show of mystery and romance. From May 1963, it has a really impressive cast, and it’s the cast that makes this show so wonderful to watch.

As with many episodes of South Park, this episode tackles the social issue of the use of slang words outside of their original context. With the invasion of loud obnoxious bikers, the kids of South Park start calling them by a certain “f” word most known as a derogatory …
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 Twilight Zone: The Hunt TV Show
For some reason, I always tend to forget what this show is about when it comes on TV. I have this idea of it in my mind and I turn it off, so I was surprised by it when I recently did view the entire program again. …
The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can is definitely one of my favorite episodes of this series. I consider it to be one of the classics, in the top 15 of all the shows. What I really love about this show is the spirit, the message of …
The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Showdown with Rance McGrew is one of those shows that blends television with the surreal, not just as the theme for a series but for the half-hour drama being watched. It stars Larry Blyden as the title character. He’s a western star who likes …
The Twilight Zone: A Piano in the House TV Show
To me, The Twilight Zone: A Piano in the House is a little on the morose and macabre side of life. It’s eerie in an unpleasant way, and it’s just not one that I enjoy very much. That’s not to say it’s not crafted well, but …
The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man TV Show
The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man is in the top 5 of all episodes for ‘the best of the series’. It’s a well acted, well put together, and stunning story involving what might happen should Earth be the recipient of visitors from another planet.
We’ve seen in done many …
The Twilight Zone: Little Girl Lost TV Show

The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive TV Show
While there is drama in The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive, it’s the fun element that I enjoy. This is a playful, endearing, happy ever after type of story, and that’s just my style.

Laramie: The Replacement TV Show
Laramie: The Replacement is one of my very favorite episodes of this series. It’s in the top 5, in fact. I absolutely love it. It’s the kind of the story that keeps me on the edge of my seat while also engaging my heart. The …

Sea Hunt: Underwater Station TV Show
Sea Hunt: Underwater Station was a decent episode. I’m not a big Lloyd Bridges fan and Sea Hunt isn’t really a favorite show or anything, but it tends to come on TV at a moment when nothing else is on, so I’ve been watching it from time to …
Laramie: Dragon at the Door TV Show
The most important element about Dragon at the Door, which was the third season premier of the western series, Laramie, is that it returned the show to its original premise just a tad. When Laramie debuted in 1959, it was a regular cast of four — John Smith, …
Laramie: Ladies Day TV Show
Laramie: Ladies Day continued to set up the ‘new’ Laramie. There was a desire to return the series to that family setup which it had had originally in season one. Because of the cast departures of Hoagy Carmichael and Robert Crawford Jr. in the second season, the …
Laramie: License to Kill TV Show
From November 1960, the second year of this western series, Laramie: License to Kill is one awesome hour of television entertainment. In this episode, a bounty hunter named Sam Jarrett hunts down Jess Harper (Robert Fuller), claiming that he killed a man in Willow, Colorado.
Reluctantly, Jess goes along, …
The Virginian: Old Cowboy TV Show
The Virginian: Old Cowboy is not a new or novel idea. It’s been told in TV and movies for decades. I realize this is an older show, but even for the 60’s, it’s been told before. What is the focus is an old cowboy, a man …
The Virginian: We’ve Lost a Train TV Show
The Virginian: We’ve Lost a Train has a powerful cast and serves double duty, as an outing for this 90-minute program as well as for introducing some new characters. Airing in April 1965, this The Virginian outing is actually the pilot episode for the comedic western series, …
The Virginian: Dangerous Road TV Show

The Mike Wallace Interview TV Show

–It was so odd to watch the camera focused on …
The Twilight Zone: The Bewitchin’ Pool TV Show
All good things come to an end, and such was the case for The Twilight Zone with this interesting outing called The Bewitchin’ Pool. I really like this show and believe that this groundbreaking science fiction series went out on top.

I’ve been watching Criminal Minds from the beginning, but I find that I am agreeing more and more with Mandy Patinkin who starred in this series originally and then left the show because it was too dark and upsetting. Sometimes I only half watch the shows which are …
Highway Patrol: Scared Cop TV Show
Highway Patrol: Scared Cop felt very odd to me. The story revolves around one of the members of the California Highway Patrol. He’s an officer on the force who is due for promotion, but when we first meet him, he’s making a stop of a speeding car. …
Stargate Universe: Human TV Show
I truly believe that Stargate Universe is one of the most boring shows on television. I don’t like it and I think it’s a horrible spin off that is shameful since it comes from a beautifully done show like Stargate SG-1. I had, however, had a lot …
Hannah Montana
I loved watching the Hannah Montana series ever since its first season. That was when we were really young. My favorite character is Lilly. All the characters are funny but Lilly’s humor is different. She sometimes act like she’s slow or dumb and it’s funny! I like every episode. …

South Park: WTF
The point of South Park is to put ignorant children into adult situations, knowing they would have no idea what was going on. While it has strayed from this ideal a quite a bit, it is nice to see an episode that involves many of the major characters at …
South Park: Dead Celebrities
South Park likes to be up to date as far as the stories they cover in their episodes, and this episode seems to take it up a notch. The episode revolves around Ike seeing dead celebrities, and the ghost of Michael Jackson possessing him. It satires the fact that …
South Park: Fishsticks
You really gotta love when the guys who write South Park want to make fun of a celebrity. In this episode, entitled “Fishsticks”, is just one long joke on rapper Kanye West. The episodes revolves around a wordplay joke created by Jimmy and Cartman, and Kanye West losing his …
South Park: Eat, Pray, Queef
South Park has always been known for gross-out comedy, and this episode continues that tradition. The episode revolves around the national disgust of feminine expulsions of gas as opposed to flatulence, and while it seems to be just another gross tactic, it ends up being a decent episode in …
South Park: Margaritaville
This episode of South Park, entitled “Margaritaville”, is meant to be a satire on the response to the failing economy. As the world treats the economy as a living entity, the people fall do everything they can to not spend money as a means of appeasing this economy. This …
South Park: The Coon
South Park has gone to great lengths lately to write satire pieces on current events and trends. This episode, entitled “The Coon”, follows Cartman dressing as a Batman like superhero, probably as a means of capitalizing on the success of the latest Batman movies. While not a completely awful …
South Park: The Ring
South Park, after more than ten years, continues to become more and more stale. The episode entitled “The Ring”, is no different in my opinion. The episode centers around the Jonas brothers, and how Disney seems to use them to sell sex appeal to young women. Kenny’s girlfriend loves …
South Park: Whale Whores
Playing into what is popular at the time is what South Park seems to aim for these days, and this episode, entitled “Whale Whores”, is a prime example of this. The Japanese travel around killing dolphins and whales, and it is up to Stan, who takes over an anti …
South Park: Pee
This episode, entitled “Pee”, was the last episode of the thirteenth season, and offered nothing that made me want to come back for season fourteen. The plot revolves around the kids in town going to a water park that has too many people peeing in its pools. Soon, the …
