Doctor Who Story 090 The Robots of Death by Michael E. Briant (1977)
11 September 2007An enjoyable Tom Baker adventure, with a warrior companion Leela (Louise Jameson), and some interesting aliens. Enjoyable.
Leela and the Doctor (Tom Baker) arrive on an alien planet in side of a massive sandminer Storm Mine 4, which is mining the sand in the air for precious ores. The ship is run by COmmander Uvanov (Russell […]
Greg the Bunny created by Spencer Chinoy and Dan Milano (2002)
9 September 2007I can’t believe I had never even heard of this series, because the humor is mine exactly. I haven’t laughed so hard in quite some time. If Jared hadn’t lent this to me I would never have seen it, and oh what a depressing world it would be then! I can’t believe I never saw […]
Doctor Who Story 087 The Hand of Fear by Lennie Mayne (1976)
6 September 2007An enjoyable who adventure on Earth and in the distant reaches of space, and markable as the last episode with Elisabeth Sladen playing Sarah Jane Smith as the Doctor’s companion (at least in the main series, she did later return in K-9 and Company and The Five Doctors and Dimensions in Time as well as […]
Doctor Who Story 082 Pyramids of Mars by Paddy Russell (1975)
3 September 2007The Doctor continues his travels with Sarah Jane Smith, this time meeting an ancient evil that would attempt to destroy all life in the universe, an Egyptian god named Sutekh. Enjoyable, but again not one of the Doctor’s most memorable adventures. Still a fun time.
The Doctor (Tom Baker) and Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) are […]
Doctor Who Story 077 The Sontaran Experiment by Rodney Bennett (1975)
3 September 2007A short and direct follow up The Ark in Space (only 2 episodes versus 4 for this story), and a fun and easy one off. Again, nothing to write home about, but still fun to watch. All taking place outside on a hillside, with a cheesy robot, spaceship and alien.
The Doctor (Tom Baker), Sarah Jane […]
Doctor Who Story 076 The Ark in Space by Rodney Bennett (1975)
3 September 2007Another Doctor Who adventure, not great effects, but a pretty cool story. Enjoyable if not too memorable. This one takes place right after Tom Baker’s first adventure Robot and is his first off Earth, though of course it has to do with Earth as it is the Doctor’s favorite planet.
Due to an accident by Harry […]
Doctor Who Story 117 Castrovalva by Fiona Cummings (1982)
28 August 2007Included with the box set including stories 115 and 116, this first adventure of Peter Davison as the Doctor is quite enjoyable, though you don’t get much of the new Doctor’s personality because through most of the story he is just recovering from his rather severe regeneration. I honestly can’t say I remember much of […]
Doctor Who Story 116 Logopolis by Peter Grimwade (1981)
27 August 2007A great story, and how can it not be with the Doctor having to team up with his ultimate enemy The Master, and sadly the end of an era, for this is the last story with Tom Baker as the Doctor. After 7 years he ended his run as the famous doctor, and what a […]
Doctor Who Story 115 The Keeper of the Traken by John Black (1981)
26 August 2007Tom Baker is really the best doctor hands down. I just watched Robot, which was his first episode, and now I am watching the episodes that ended up as his last of his seven season run. He really had the doctor down by this point, and his outfit was the best. His long boots, the […]
Doctor Who Story 075 Robot by Christopher Barry (1974-1975)
23 August 2007I have been on a huge Doctor Who kick of late, and with the Master Returning to David Tennant’s doctor this Season, I wanted to pick up some Tom Baker Doctor Who and remember more about him. This was just released and is Tom Baker’s first adventure as the doctor, as he has his transformation […]
The Sands of Oblivion by David Flores (2007)
9 August 2007A made for TV Sci Fi channel movie, that is all cheese and bad computer effects and gore. Honestly I only watched it because it stars 2 of the cast of Firefly, the great Adam Baldwin and Morena Baccarin, but all this proves to do, is just how sad it is that Firefly is truly […]
Dinosaurs Season 3 and 4 created by Michael Jacobs and Bob Young (1993-1994)
5 June 2007This is such an amazing series. Combining good writing and Henson Creature Shop Dinosaurs make this one of the most enjoyable sitcoms to ever come on television. And while the show always had some deep messages that it gave in a light hearted way, these seasons get very seriously, leading up to the extinction of […]
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Yves Simoneau (2007)
31 May 2007An excellent historical drama made by HBO, so you know that the production valley and acting are as good as they could be. This is a powerful and beautifully done film, that points out the plight of American Indians, that not only had their land taken from them, but then had that very land taken […]
Disney’s TaleSpin Volume 1 (1990)
25 April 2007One of the classic cartoons I grew up on, this one filled with high adventure and excitement. This is just a great show and it still holds up. And this DVD is higher quality than the gummy bears discs, even though each episode is still a single chapter on this 3 disc set.
I have no […]
Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears (1985-1991)
2 April 2007I grew up watching this animation on Saturday mornings as a kid and enjoyed it a great deal. Sure the animation is not as good, the stories are simple and the opening song will stick in your head forever, but I am sure any kids will love this show. The characters are enjoyable and fun […]
Northern Exposure Season 6 (1994-1995)
2 April 2007This really was the best show on TV. What an incredible town, what an amazing, and I am glad I got to visit it a few times in my life. This season is incredibly sad for me though, not only does it finally have the culmination of Maggie O’Connel (Janine Turner) and Joel Fleishchman (Rob […]
Northern Exposure Season 5 (1993-1994)
26 March 2007This is really one of my favorite shows that was ever on television. I love the people in this quirky little town, and love the magic and wonder of this world that is slightly different from our own. This is another great season, and one where we get to learn a bit more about a […]
Star Trek the Animated Series by Hal Sutherland and Bill Reed (1973-1974)
3 March 2007After the Original Star Trek was so unceremoniously dumped from TV, people wanted more, and this is what they initially got. Sure it is not the same as the original episodes, but since it features most of the original cast and some great stories these episodes are very worth watching even if the animation is […]
Doctor Who 2006 Season 2 by Various directors, Executive Produced by Russel T. Davies, Julie Gardner and Mal Young (2006)
31 January 2007The New New Doctor. I enjoyed Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor, but I must say as soon as I started watching David Tennant I really realized that he was my favorite Doctor since the greatest Doctor, Tom Baker. Now if only they could bring Tom Baker in as the Master in the 3rd Season. That […]
M*A*S*H Season 11 created by larry Gelbart (1981-1982)
15 January 2007A very short season, which still ended the run of the show with the most watched Television show of all time, GOODBY FAREWELL AND AMEN which makes up for any deficiencies in this last season.
SOME SPOILERS…
The Little Rascals Collection 5 DVD Set
27 December 2006My mom and I decided to start a new Christmas tradition, which is to get some OUR GANG and or LITTLE RASCALS DVD’s and have fun over the holidays watching them and laughing together, and this was the first year, and we had a wonderful time. We ended up looking up so much history of […]
HDNET World Report (2006+)
21 December 2006After startting to watch the excellent DAN RATHER REPORTS on this channel and becoming enamored with HD news, I decided to watch this HDNET news program, and I am sold. This like Dan Rather’s show is more like 60 minutes than a standard news program with long segments on each issue, and each is well […]
Star Trek TOS Episode 14 Balance of Terror HD 40th Anniversary by Marc Daniels (1966/2006) XBOX Live Marketplace
16 December 2006I am already a fan of Star Trek The Original Series, and while I hated the idea of this HD Upgrade, I decided I wanted to see the upgraded Special Effects, if only to prove that I made the right decision in purchasing the original series in it’s original form. First off, I purchased this […]
Dan Rather Reports by Dan Rather, HDNet (2006+)
14 December 2006I heard about this show, when Dan Rather was on REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER. After being fired from CBS, it seems the all 1080i HD network HDNet hired him to do a 1 hour news program. This week I started watching it, and it is a must not miss. The show is top notch, […]
Jim Henson’s Fraggle Rock Complete Second Season (1981)
3 December 2006The show really hit it’s stride here. And we get to have some serious fun with the fraggles this time. What a great show. I am so happy that they are doing a movie of these guys now.
