Episode 4 of the first season of Adam-12 is another goodie. It’s the show that introduces us to a detective named Jerry, played by Jack Hogan of “Combat” fame. The recurring character is awesome, and it’s really too bad he didn’t show up in even more shows.
The …

Episode 1 of Season 4 of Fringe has been a bit strange. While the story of Fringe is strange and complicated in general, this one was even more strange, complicated and confusing than usual. I would not say that is was a particularly good episode of Fringe. I am …

Buffy’s final Halloween centric episode is something of a mixed bag. While it does a great job in continuing the pre-existing character and story arcs to great effect, the story itself is weak and lacking. It certainly doesn’t manage to capture the playful essence of the holiday previously seen …
