- I Promise I Am Not The Dwight In Our Office If We Have Worked Together
That’s what I say, at least. Despite the wealth of action figures I display, I have only three bobbleheads. That right there should disqualify me. Anyway, The Office Book of Lists is on sale! Head to your favorite bookstore and purchase numerous copies! It was a lot of fun to write this, though a bit […]
- This week’s cheese …
The 1950s and 60s curdled some prime frommage for the members of the Superman Family. I love collections like this, that lean into the nuttiness and give the same weight to a story where Lois goes undercover as a housemaid (I assume that’s the plot, I haven’t even opened my copy yet) as her becoming […]
- The Wisdom of Picard
So, I’m not about to get into a debate of who’s the better captain (we all know it would have been Nog, eventually, but let’s sidestep that argument :)) I grew up with Original Series and I still love it (and all Star Trek) passionately. When TNG debuted, I had my doubts – like many […]
- Dreams Don’t Die, or Why I Love Xanadu So Much
I don’t obsess about Xanadu like I used to. Over the years, it pops up and I get a twinge of nostalgia. Songs or dialogue hurtle me back to the pimple-faced, gay 15-year-old, who meticulously cut out the silhouette of Olivia Newton-John from the back of the soundtrack, and taped inside my locker door. Or […]
- DALLAS – Season 2, Episode 24: “John Ross Ewing III, Part 2”
It’s the season finale and Linda Gray shines in some moving monologues and crazy-eyed drinking! Let’s not waste any time! We pick up a few days after the end of Part 1. J.R. drives to the sanitarium to see Sue Ellen. When the doctor lets him in Sue Ellen’s room, it’s clear what to doctor […]
- Wonder Woman – Season 1, Episode 12 – “Wonder Woman in Hollywood”
At last, we reach the end of the 1940s episodes. I for one was super glad for the 30 year time jump. I was done with Nazis and the lack of any real super villain (not that we we get those in the next two seasons, but there are some … attempts). This did bring […]
- DALLAS – Season 2, Episode 23 “John Ewing III, Part 1”
Whoo-boy! Sue Ellen heads to the sanitarium for the first time. Lucy kicks drugs after one heartfelt talk with Bobby. Miss Ellie reads J.R. for filth. It’s a doozy of an episode, so let’s dive right in! Sue Ellen pulls into a parking lot of the clinic and pulls out a flask before her OB-GYN […]
- The Costumed Adventurers in “Picking The Scabs!”
Ahhh! It’s not a Dallas or Wonder Woman recap! What is going on? I started writing about the Costumed Adventurers in college. They were called the Hero Brigade then, and EVERY! SENTENCE! ENDED! WITH! AN! EXCLAMATION! MARK! Gimmicks. They’re exhausting. I think about 10 years ago, I dusted them off, got rid of the INSANELY […]
- Wonder Woman – Season One, Episode 13: “Bushwackers”
Ahhh, that title does NOT mean what you think it does. No mafiosos are attempting to kill any former presidents. A bushwacker is in fact, an outlaw who swore allegiance to neither side during the Civil War and united in bands to prey on both sides. So, who are the bushwackers in this episodes? The […]
- DALLAS – Season Two, Episode 22: “The Outsiders”
Ahhh, Ray Krebs. Your tangled love life is a mess, but in Donna Culver’s debut, we see the bright shining hope for your future. Not today, of course. She’s still a Culver and won’t be your wife for a while. But this episode introduces one of my favorite characters and actresses (until I discovered she […]
- Wonder Woman – Season 1, Episode 12: “Formula 407”
Need some indestructible rubbers? I mean, rubber? Wonder Woman and Steve travel to Buenos Aires to help safely bring the formula for … BWAH HA HA! Why rubber? What on earth makes rubber the material that needs to be super strong? Is it for indestructible birth control? I know, I am a 13-year-old. But COME […]
- DALLAS – Season 2, Episode 21: “Royal Marriage”
Lucy gets engaged … but not for long! It’s a very special afterschool special edition of Dallas! So, I don’t remember seeing this episode when it aired. I’d be surprised if my parents knew what was coming (homosexualism!) but I also wouldn’t be unsurprised. I applaud Dallas and Bobby’s character in particular for not treating […]
- Wonder Woman – Season 1, Episode 11: “Judgement From Outer Space, Part II”
Will Wonder Woman convince Andros that Earth deserves to live? Will Andros get his Unfortunate (but Powerful) Neckwear back from the Nazis? Was this episode a lot of filler and was probably supposed to be one 90-minute episode instead of a two-parter? The answer to these questions and more as we recap “Judgement from Outer Space, […]
- DALLAS – Season 2, Episode 20: “Call Girl”
Who rips up $500? This call girl! Bobby and J.R. are playing racquetball, which of course they were. How on trend for that time! Bobby looks amazing, sweaty and sleek in a tank top and some super short shorts. J.R. just looks sweaty. An employee tells Bobby that Ray has called and really ahs to […]
- Wonder Woman – Season 1, Episode 10: “Judgement from Outer Space, Part 1”
Whoo hoo! I love an alien-testing-Earth scenario and here’s one of my faves! Watch as Andros visits Earth and Wonder Woman has to convince him humanity is worth saving (HINT: they probably aren’t … cats, dogs, ducks, dolphins, etc. — I’ll fight to the death for their right to flourish in the universe, but human […]
