U.N.C.L.E. a day is my obsessive-compulsive approach at working through The Complete Man for U.N.C.L.E., now available on DVD. One episode, one review a day (usually – occasional hiatuses may occur due to travel). The U.N.C.L.E.-love continues, with the third…

U.N.C.L.E. a day, day two: “The Vulcan Affair”
As I mentioned yesterday, to celebrate the release of The Man from U.N.C.L.E., the complete series on DVD, I’m gonna do something a little crazy: I’m going to (re-)watch EVERY EPISODE, one a day, until I am done. All four…

Emmy thoughts: Horrible show, but three highlights…
First, the show was really really bad. I mean, seriously. I don’t know what was worse last night, watching the Emmys or watching Green Bay choke against Dallas on Sunday Night Football (through the magic of DVR technology, I did…

Holy Octogenarian, Batman! Adam West is 80 today!
Adam, you’re still on my bad side for not showing up for your DragonCon panel a few weeks back, but I can’t let that stand in the way of issuing you a happy birthday. Those fiendish criminals haven’t stopped you…

Continuity and TV shows – a good thing, or something that gets in the way of telling good stories?
One of the things that I’ve been thinking about over the past few weeks is continuity. Now, to some people, the term “continuity” means consistency on a TV show or movie from scene to scene (someone on the set makes…

Missed it by that much – yesterday was the 30th Anniversary of “The Shark Jump”
September 20th, 1977. A day that will live in infamy. The day that Arthur Fonzarelli, “The Fonz,” strapped on some waterskis and, still wearing his trademark leather jacket, jumped over a shark in a “very special episode” of Happy Days.…

About that Doctor Who series finale prediction…
I was completely wrong. Sorry. At least I was right about the Lost finale. Enjoyed the finale, though not as much as I had hoped to.

Thoughts on the forthcoming Doctor Who Series finale…
OK, don’t read this if you have not seen the next-to-last episode of the Third Doctor Who series, The Sound of Drums, cause there be spoilers here. Seriously. OK, so the Master is back, he’s hypnotised the world in order…
