Police Squad!: A Substantial Gift (The Broken Promise) (1982)
Pure Genius
This is not at all a review of the pilot but I truly loved it! Hence the 9 out of 10 stars. For the record I have two episodes rated a perfect 10!
Every now and then I watch the episodes again. I've seen them too many times to count. They never fail to make me laugh. Pure comedy gold!
You really have to watch the show carefully as there was so much time taken to have things carefully crafted in the background....that were hilarious. On occasion I notice something I didn't notice before. Just fantastic.
Police Squad deserved much better than six episodes....but fortunately we would see Frank Drebin again later in the late 80's in the "Naked Gun" franchise.
Highest recommendation!
Hunter: City of Passion: Part 1 (1987)
Riveting
No spoilers here. This is certainly one of those episodes that will keep your eyes glued to the screen.
Well acted, great script and inspiring direction make this one of the top episodes in the series.
Highest recommendations
No disappointments here.
Laverne & Shirley: Murder on the Moose Jaw Express: Part 1 (1980)
A Great 2 Part Episode
A fine whodunnit. Not exactly what I was expecting from Laverne & Shirley.
No spoilers here. .....but these two episodes, IMHO, are among the best in the series. Every now and then I dust off the DVD's and watch these episodes. Always makes me laugh.
A classic!
Dollhouse (2009)
Over A Decade Late...
It took a few weeks, I don't have the time to binge watch, but I finished watching the 2 seasons. I have the same question, why in blazes was this canceled.
An innovative show that will generally keep your eyes glued to the TV. Excellent scripts & direction. Eliza shines as Echo.
Not a lot of episodes but highly recommended.
Hunter: Rape and Revenge: Part 1 (1985)
A Powerful Episode
Tough subject matter. While attempting to get justice for McCall, they are stymied due to "diplomatic immunity".
Extremely well done episode. For me one of the top episodes in the series.
Part II is the "vigilante" episode. Also very good.
Charlie's Angels: Counterfeit Angels (1979)
Two Sets Of Angels
Well not exactly. Three Angel lookalikes essentially doing exactly what the Angels wouldn't do.
This episode is is quite a bit a fun and completely unexpected when I saw the show in syndication years later.
Kudos to whoever cast the "fraudulent Angels". Excellent script, direction and acting.
Season 4 was a personal favourite for me.
Highly recommended.
Three's Company: Janet's Promotion (1977)
Chesty.....I mean Chloe!
Lots of good one liners in this episode.
Janet went to a plastic surgeon to see about a breast augmentation.
For me the highlight was when Janet came out of the bedroom and was extremely well endowed. Jack thought she had a bust job. Janet asked Jack what he thought of her new physique. Of course Jack was speechless. He did mutter that he didn't think the operation could be done so quickly.
The whole time Janet was flaunting herself in front of Jack. Phenomenal eye work by Joyce DeWitt and great facial expressions. Jack would get a surprise and the end of the exchange with Janet.
Excellent episode.
