If you look at the statistics for number of people accessing the site on the main page, a week ago there were...

I wanted to get through this show as quickly as possible considering all the extra features on the DVDs I borrowed from the library -- trivia, behind-the-scenes stuff and so forth.

But it looks...

I have finally finished season one episode reviews of Ironside. It took me a long time – I wasn't trying to kill myself doing this. I had already done a few episodes when I first started doing the...

I find the music in Seinfeld (such as it is, this bass guitar stuff) is really annoying after a while.

When I am watching the show, I use the fast-forward and "next" buttons to skip through the...

In the opening credits of Lion in the Streets, first show of the 12th season, the Waikiki movie theatre's marquee features "Valley of the Dolls" — a movie from 1967 (probably a stock shot, the same...

I have had a page on my WWW.MJQ.NET web site for over 25 years which details the Mission Impossible (1966) tape scenes at the beginning of the show.

Recently I received an e-mail from a fan of the...

This blab is being shown ahead of the 11th season episode A Distant Thunder when it is broadcast on MeTV these days:

I never watched Seinfeld when it was on originally, or even after that. Recently when I am on Facebook, however, I am getting these excerpts from the show, some of which are very funny. Of course, if...

But this site, which rates shows from best to worst and vice versa, is stupid.

Many of the shows have only a couple of votes, so their "average" or...

Tom Selleck is making noise about this, saying if the show ends he won't be able to pay off his avocado ranch.

Someone said he should take out a "reverse mortgage," LOL.

Tom is also in the news...

I have uploaded the introductory pages of the book where these bad reviews are found here:

These pages mention the various TV critics and...

Karen Rhodes who wrote a book ("the" book) on H50 which was published in 1997 (and reprinted more than once after this), emailed me about the above review, she says I can repost her thoughts (below):...

The Critics' Choice: The Best of Crime & Detective TV by Max Allan Collins and John Javna

This relatively slim 1988 book took a poll of mystery writers and TV critics to come up with ratings of TV...

Just because you want to have a discussion about Classic H50 other than the usual banalities which you can find on certain other forums doesn't mean that anyone will participate.

I think the...

I think the problem with this review is that you don't hear Rich Little imitating these actors. Because the show was dubbed into French, you are listening to some French dubber who is imitating the...

Here is a sample of reviews from the French site, for The Bells Toll At Noon. This is translated to English with Google translate, I have not cleaned up the translation at all.

This episode gets...

I have rediscovered this French site which is mainly for The Avengers, but it also reviews tons of other TV shows, including Classic H50. Some of the opinions regarding our favorite episodes will...

I revised my season ratings for the first time in a few years, but there was hardly any change. There is a 3-way tie for fourth place, though:

3.05 – Season 3
2.98 – Season 6
2.94 – Season 5...

There is another episode in Ironside's first season where there is a "business" shown with guys having tiny flash cameras who are taking pictures of some babe in a bikini, I guess this constituted a...
