CHiPs: Supercycle
Quite honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of CHiPs: Supercycle. I’m not sure why, but the idea of this supercycle bothers me. Maybe it’s too Evil Kneivel for me.
One of the reasons the show doesn’t hit me with goodness is that there is too much time …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter is written by Gene Roddenberry in his pre-Star Trek days. I have to give the show credit here, too, because it brought back characters regularly for follow ups; at least, that’s what has been happening in the first …

Two And A Half Men: The Devil’s Lube
“The Devil’s Lube” is the episode of Two And A Half Men originally airing on CBS on December 15, 2008. This episode was not one of the better ones, as it featured a needless cameo by Emilo Estavez playing Andy, Charlie’s womanizing best friend.

We ended up catching the new Simpson’s episode last night “Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou? Because we thought it would end up being a Christmas episode based on the commercials.
