Stargate SG-1 The Nox
“The Nox” is arguably the single, best episode of Stargate SG-1. This team episode captured the magic and essence of SG-1’s exploration of the universe. It showed the fallacy and limitations of our assumptions, while entertaining us at the same time.
The Nox are a simple, yet complex …

That Girl: 7 1/4 - Part 1
Considering prior storylines, this third season entry for ABC’s That Girl opens a little oddly for me. The title is 7 1/4, which is also odd, so I suppose it all makes sense in some strange way. As the story begins, Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) is about …

Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Regis Philbin
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Regis Philbin proved to be much more interesting than I thought it was going to be. I loved the opening remark when Shatner said something to the effect of, “We’ve known each other 40 years, but we really don’t know each other.”
Regis talked a bit …

The Andy Griffith Show: Class Reunion TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Class Reunion, which aired in February 1963, was a rather nostalgic, almost melodramatic episode. It clearly set the end to any notion of Andy and Nurse Peggy, who is now a non-factor.
