I have always liked Mark Wahlberg so when I heard he was producing television show based on his life I was excited to see it.
Entourage delivers in more ways than one. Firstly it’s like a reality show but better, it’s peppy, fast and the dialogue is quick and …

The Steve Wilkos show is one of the best talk shows there are because Steve Wilkos touches topics that many other talk show hosts are scared to touch. Steve Wilkos brings guests such as rapists and child molesters on his show and than teaches them a lesson by scaring …

“Desperate housewives” is a season series which I really loved to watch every week and can be seen (at the time of this writing) at channel E4 on Sundays at 9 pm, there is also another one every Wednesday which is a repeat. I am not really into …

Voyagers!: Cleo and the Babe brings the voyagers to the Ides of March and Cleopatra. I don’t mind the story, but Andrea Marcovicci just doesn’t match the magic and lore of Egyptian queen. She doesn’t sound like a queen. If anything, she sounds like a whiny …

Sable: Evangelist is the third of seven episodes of this series spawned by a comic book character. It’s all about Nicholas Flemming aka Jon Sable who has a soft spot for children, largely due to his own family tragedy. Lewis Van Bergen is incredibly boring in this …

In this second episode of the short-lived series, Sable, entitled Hunt, Jon Sable’s girlfriend, Eden Kendell (Rene Russo), gets a job offer that would require a move to New York. She wants Jon to go with her, but he’s not eager to uproot himself and leave behind his …

From 2000, Diana Rigg returns in The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: The Rising of the Moon. I’ve always associated Rigg with the classic Emma Peel character, but she’s so different here that I surprised myself that I never really look at her and think ‘Emma’, so that’s a compliment …

The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries continue with a murder mystery called Laurels Are Poison. The beautiful and alluring Diana Rigg stars as Adela Bradley, and believe me, there is nothing conventional about her. Adela is as out there as a woman could be in the early 1900’s and …

Since Phineas Bogg was a pirate, it makes since that a show would be done about pirates and that came to pass with Voyagers!: Old Hickory and the Pirate, which aired during the November sweeps season of 1982. In this case, it’s all about Jean Lafitte being accused …

From December 1982, Voyagers!: An Arrow Pointing East takes on a whopper of a legend, that of Robin Hood and his merry band of followers. It’s hard to do a bad Robin Hood because it’s just such a fun mixture of personalities. Dan Hamilton portrays Robin and …

Honestly, I’d forgotten just how much Meeno Peluce cried during the Voyagers! series. He could compete with Doris Day, June Allyson, and Margaret O’Brien for being able to turn those tears on and off. It’s amazing. However, it’s not the best crier. He’s just able to …

Originally airing on January 9, 1983, Voyagers!: Buffalo Bill & Annie Oakley Play the Palace is the 12th episode of the series, and it’s a royal one, with a story revolving around Queen Victoria and her daughter; more specifically, who her daughter will marry.
What is so fun about Voyagers! …

Jon-Erik Hexum and Meeno Peluce star in Voyagers!: Destiny’s Choice wherein their characters of Phineas Bogg and Jeffrey Jones have to convince Franklin Delano Roosevelt to continue with his political dreams.
Much of the story in Destiny’s Choice was, of course, strength of character in the face of adversity. …

Naturally, …

The Medium episode for February 5, 2010 was really entertaining, and I liked it more than many other episodes for a few reasons. Entitled “Will the Real Fred Rovick Please Stand Up?” this gave us two distinct stories and both really held my interest well.
The main story with …

The Virginian: Strangers at Sundown opens with senseless cruelty towards animals so I’m very leery of this episode from the start. Normally, I change the channel at this point, but I think it might have just been a passing plot device. Whatever the story involves, there’s a …

Numb3rs: And the Winner Is… aired on February 5, 2010, and it was probably the most enjoyable episode of the season for me. I’ve really missed not having Peter MacNicol on the show. ABC has taken some cost cutting measures for this series, including reducing the number …

Voyagers!: Pursuit was another good episode and one I enjoyed a lot, in part because it dabbled just lightly into the space program, which is a topic I’m very interested in. Do a good space show, and the odds are I’ll enjoy it.
Apparently, it’s young Jeffrey Jones’ birthday …

As a student of the great ship Titanic, any story about it, fictional or otherwise, intrigues me. It should come as no surprise then when I say that Voyagers!: Voyagers of the Titanic is a show I enjoy watching a great deal. I say this even though …

Just two episodes after seeing Robert Donner as Buffalo Bill Cody, in Voyagers!: Sneak Attack we see Disney’s Ike Eisenmann playing a young Bill Cody before he got the nickname. It’s not just our voyagers meeting Cody back in 1860 Utah, but an ‘I’ve got something to prove’ …

Voyagers!: The Trial of Phineas Bogg is probably the one episode I’ve remember for decades, other than the pilot. It’s basically a clips show, a budget costing maneuver by networks and producers to keep costs down on a show because most of the action is done with clips …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Teacher is a second season entry from this half-hour western. It’s filmed in black and white, but that helps this show I think. Color is fun, but sometimes drama is better conveyed in this simplicity.
What is unique about this show is …

Voyagers!: Barriers of Sound is an intriguing connection of two historical events. It’s shows like this one that proved how creative Voyagers! could be. It begins with history going wrong with Dwight David Eisenhower almost didn’t get born, or survive. The reason? The telephone hadn’t …

Voyagers!: All Fall Down just isn’t a show I’m much interested in and the reason for that is pretty simple. It’s two-thirds boxing, and I do not like boxing. I’ve watched it from time to time and even followed the careers of a boxer here and there, …

Sable: Copycat has a basic plot that we’ve seen a hundred times in all kinds of dramas in all genres. There’s a street-wise young girl who can talk fast and make excuse after excuse who naturally latches on to Sable. Actually, it’s Sable’s alter ego of Nicholas …

There’s one really notable thing about the Sable: Watchdogs episode from 1987. It’s a great show in showing what the blind can do and what their capabilities. So often it’s been easy for TV to stereotype the blind, but in this series, the character of Cheesecake is …

Touched by an Angel: I Will Walk with You - Part 2 concludes this wonderful series that starred Roma Downey, Della Reese, John Dye, and Valerie Bertinelli. The magic of this final show, which is set in a sad, tragic town whose children had been killed in a …

Since I’m not a fan of fighting as a sport, I wasn’t particularly taken with Have Gun - Will Travel: The Prize Fight Story from the first season of this western series. Series star Richard Boone had his Paladin character helping out an old friend, first by watching …

The Virginian: The Final Hour was the last episode of the first season and personally, I think it was a poor choice of a season ender. Though the story was poignant, it was terribly downbeat. When a season ends, I want to feel excited about a show …

In 1993, the western returned to television on the Fox Network. It received a lot of buzz. I remember this pretty well. Series star Bruce Campbell was new to most people and was given a lot of press. Just like the old days of Gene …

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: The Orb Scholar begins with a recap of the Orb, first seen in the pilot episode of this series. Humorously, the magical orb is labeled as a UFO - unearthed foreign object. When last seen, the orb was floating down the …

Starring Bruce Campbell in the title role, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: No Man’s Land is a bit unique in that it takes place mostly in a town called No Man’s Land, and it’s called that because all of the inhabitants are women. There’s Denise Crosby as …

In The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Deep in the Heart of Dixie, Socrates has fallen for his boss’ secretary. Unfortunately, this whole part of the plot was pretty predictable and sadly for Socrates, I was right with my assumptions. It wouldn’t be a surprise to many …

Brisco and Lord Bowler go to Brisco’s hometown where Brisco ends up becoming the temporary sheriff in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Showdown. This show was somewhat nice, giving us another glimpse into the past of the colorful Brisco. There were some definite highlights that make …
