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.
M*A*S*H Season 7 created by Larry Gelbart (1981-1982)
2 December 2006I was only 4 or 5 when this season aired, and yet I still love this show as one of the best shows of my Childhood, right up there with TAXI. An enjoyable season, and the last with Radar which made for a huge change after this season. If you saw this show and loved [...]
M*A*S*H Season 6 created by Larry Gelbart (1977-1978)
27 November 2006Another enjoyable season of M*A*S*H, not the highpoint of the show, but I can still always watch this show and enjoy it. This is such a great show. I am just pissed about the box set that has come out. And with this one we get the new cast member with the total change from [...]
Doctor Who Story 037 The Tomb of The Cybermen by Morris Barry (1967)
12 November 2006After watching the New Doctor who episode with the return of the Cybermen my friend Chris Melrose recommended me this original episode of Doctor Who, which is supposedly the earliest complete Cybermen adventure. Honestly I don’t think that I had ever seen a Patrick Troughton Doctor Episode, nor a Doctor Who in black and white, [...]
M*A*S*H Season 5 created by Larry Gelbart (1976-1977)
1 November 2006Another great season of this classic television show, with the new cast members already a major part of the show. And with a major change this season in the relationship between Frank Burns and Hot Lips Houlihan when she becomes engaged, which I found to be not quite as interesting as them being banded together. [...]
M*A*S*H Season 4 created by Larry Gelbart (1975-1976)
17 October 2006A new season and 2 new characters that would last till the end of the series. Of course Lt. Colonel Henry Blake had to be replaced, and for that we got Harry Morgan as Colonel Sherman Potter and Wayen Rogers had problems with the producers so Trapper John had to be replaced too, and with [...]
M*A*S*H Season 3 created by Larry Gelbart (1974-1975)
16 October 2006The last of the initial run of the show before there started to be cast members and ending with the saddest episode of the entire run of the series. This is another great season and well worth checking out.
M*A*S*H Season 2 created by Larry Gelbart (1973-1974)
14 October 2006More Hijinks of the doctors of the 4077, still with the initial silliness of the first 3 seasons with Lt. Colonel Henry Blake in command, the whole place doesn’t seem too military and with this season it starts really hitting it’s stride. This is such a good and enjoyable show with such good characters. I [...]
M*A*S*H Season one created by Larry Gelbart (1972-1973)
14 October 2006I can’t believe I didn’t already have this in my reviews because these DVD’s are something that I seem to be able to watch again and again. I grew up watching this series, and whenever I have time off and just want some entertainment on in the background I start washing M*A*S*H and can just [...]
Jim Henson’s The StoryTeller created by Jim Henson (1988)
13 October 2006A really incredible 9 episode series showcasing old European
Battlestar Galactica Season 2.5 created by Ron D. Moore (2006)
21 September 2006The second half of this explosive series, finishing the Pegasus arc and continuing the compelling series and with a surprise Cliffhanger I am still trying to wrap my head around. It really blew me away, as I had no idea that this series would go there. This is an amazing show, one of the best [...]
Battlestar Galactic Season 2.0 Created by Ron D. Moore (2005)
21 September 2006This is the first half of the second season of Ron D. Moore’s incredible update to the venerable Battlestar Galactica television series. This show is dark, with great characters and a compelling story-line, and these episodes end with a mid-season cliff hanger that not only brought in another element from the old show, but also [...]
Star Wars Clone Wars Volume One by Genndy Tartakovsky (2003)
8 September 2006A series of shot Star Wars shorts done for the Cartoon Network to fall between the second and third Star Wars films. While I am not the biggest fan of Tartakovsky’s artwork, mainly because it is too strangely stylized (why does Anakin have a neck twice as big as his head) and because the actual [...]
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 7 created by Rick Berman and Michael Piller (1998-1999)
7 September 2006What a way to go out. I can’t believe I stopped watching this show in it’s original run so early on, because I can honestly say this is the best Star Trek since the Original Series. This show was so different, and so much darker, with such deep characters that went through such a change [...]
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 6 created by Rick Berman and Michael Piller (1997-1998)
1 September 2006The show had really taken off by this point, with the whole Dominion war, this show has gone somewhere where no Star Trek has gone before, and made a much richer and deeper universe. This show was incredible. Honestly I think one of the sorest points of the show is the opening. I like the [...]
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 5 created by Rick Berman and Michael Piller (1996-1997)
25 August 2006Damn, what a great show. Getting so good, and while not fully into the Dominion war yet, this season brings us through the dark buildup and right to it’s start with an explosive ending that I really didn’t see coming. The characters have been so well developed in this show, and then with Troubles And [...]
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 4 created by Rick Berman and Michael Piller (1995-1996)
22 August 2006Wow. Let me say that again. Wow. The show really returned with a bang with the 4th season, and especially with the changes implemented with the addition of Michael Dorn as Worf from the Next Generation and his romance with Dax and Avery Brooks returning with a goatee and a new bald look that brought [...]
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 3 created by Rick Berman and Michael Piller (1994-1995)
19 August 2006This season starts well and ends very well, though it did get a bit bogged down in the middle and a little boring. The stories are better when dealing with the Dominion, and the Maquis, and aren’t quite as interesting when they are the more original trek episodes. This season is good because things do [...]
