That 70s Show: Eric Gets Suspended
Well, I didn’t know kids could be suspended from school in the 1970s just for smoking so I learned something today from That 70s Show at lunch. The episode, Eric Gets Suspended, is definitely an interesting one.

Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon
Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon is part medical drama and part spy caper. Combined, Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon just doesn’t do a whole lot for me. I never have liked the opening scene. It sets up the drama naturally enough, but it’s just …
