There’s a general rule of thumb when it comes to “The Real Ghostbusters”, if the episode is written by J. Michael Stracynski, it will be good. After the awesomeness that was “Mrs. Rogers’ Neighborhood”, this episode had a high bar to jump, and the fact that it centered …

As I have mentioned before, I’m a big fan of watching Gilligan’s Island re-runs on weekends. But, even though I do enjoy most of the episodes (I’ve seen every one several times), there are some that just aren’t as good as others. One of these is the episode “Forward …

jargons used in their scripts, but it’s not the medical terms which would entice the watchers to anticipate the …

The more I see the show Destination Truth, the more I find myself liking it. None of the episodes have lived up to the first one I watched but they are still pretty close.
