Solid Muldoon

Detective Amy Santiago from Brooklyn Nine-Nine partners with Sgt. Phil Fish from Barney Miller. They have to sit a 48 hour stake-out in an abandoned store with no working plumbing. Amy asks Fish what married life is like. He tells her. She explains at length how wrong he is.

Between road trips, major league baseball team the Brooklyn Zephyr must spend a lot more time with their families. Secretly gay-married Pitcher Charlie Butterfield; rapidly aging Coach Winslow "Cool Breeze" Washington; frazzled young Travel Manager Samantha "Sammy" Snead; and rebellious Radio Broadcasters Bernie Kitt and Stan "Boom Boom" Kabudel come together in Arron Sorkin's American Homestand.

I have to believe that the musical director and the writer of House of Cards were furious at each other and stomped apart thinking, "You want some crappy jazz? I'll give you some mother fu......." That sounded like Roger Rabbit humping a one-man band.

During the Battle of the Bulge in WWII, the Yanks were surrounded. The Germans sent a message saying that if they surrendered they would let them live. The Yanks sent a one-word reply. "Nuts!" In other words, "Go fug themselves." On Jericho, the good guys were in the same situation. They sent the same message to the bad guys. Jericho fans trying to save the show started sending the network nuts.

Higgy Baby!

For me, The Sopranos ended when Dr. Melfi dropped Tony. Her window into Tony's world closed and so did ours. Everything after that was just wrap up. I thought the blackout ending was perfect. It goes on and on and

Nothing beats Jonny Quest.

I have a hard time getting past the distraction of how much Eugene looks like Bill Hicks.

George Dzundza is the reason I started watching Law & Order in the first place. When he left, I started to lose interest. I've been a huge fan since Deer Hunter. In a cast full of Oscar winners, it was the scene where he went into the kitchen to make the scrambled eggs and broke down crying that destroyed me. Three hours of tension and grief came heaving out of me to the point that my friends had to physically help me walk up the aisle when the movie was over. L&O has never been as good as it was the first season.

I would SO watch this show, especially if Race Bannon were Dr. Quest's hunky bodyguard-slash-lover. I can't be the only one who wondered about those two. What I remember us talking about back then was how much more Jonny looked like Race than he did Doctor Quest. Hmmmmm.

I'd love to see a live action reboot of Jonny Quest. Super genius scientist who sort of seems to work for the government, his hunky bodyguard, his precocious son, and the little Hindu boy they kidnap/adopt. Traveling the earth. Getting into adventures. Fighting monsters. The coolest Saturday morning cartoon of all time! Tim Matheson, the original voice of Jonny, could Play Doctor Quest.

The bullet thing on The Walking Dead really bugs me. What's the first thing people would steal and hoard when the hurt comes down? Bullets. You aren't going to find them around. And bullets have a shelf life. Especially shotgun shells. Especially in the wet heat of Georgia. And that silenced pistol Rick used really annoyed. A "silenced"automatic is as loud as a firecracker.

Why does Abraham always look so much cleaner than everyone else?

Bwah! Just last night I watched the episode of Columbo where his wife had given him a brand new black trench coat. He couldn't stand it. He kept trying to "lose" it but his sidekick kept finding it. So funny. I love it that MeTV is rerunning Columbo.

Sgt. Muldoon of the Costume Division reporting: Every police detective on TV wears a black trench coat. Day or night. Winter or Summer. Rain or shine. Black trench coat. And when they stand at a crime scene in the rain? No hat. Never a hat. Not even a Fedora, which goes with a trench coat like fries go with a burger.

I was just three days from retirement! I bought a boat!

Survivor lost me when I realized that these women who were supposedly dumped in the wilderness with no resources all of a sudden had shaved armpits and legs. I guess the hairy pits from season one didn't test well.

My guess for TPTDP: "This gag never gets old."

Lance Hunter? Seriously? Couldn't they give him a less cornball name like Max Power or Beef Jerky or Dash Riprock? C'mon! Just give him a real, regular name. Like Nick Blood.

The Magic Sling: I've been watching old episodes of Gunsmoke. (It's the best "Hey, it's that guy!" show out there.) I've lost track of how many times Marshall Dillon has been shot in the shoulder. It has to be at least once every four or five episodes. Of course, at the end of the episode he has his arm in a sling and he and his pals are laughing. Next week? He's right as rain. The show ran for decades. His arms would have been turned to jelly! Or fallen off! I got shot in the upper thigh 32 years ago. Just a "flesh wound." No broken bone or arterial damage. I limp a little to this day.

Jack has a family?

Breaking Bad also gave us the great Saul/Huell team.

I too had a problem with the puppy generals. The first word out of their mouths upon learning we sunk a Chinese carrier should have been, "Sir I suggest we go to Def-Con 3." In fact, everybody on Heller's staff seems pretty young. Heller needs him a John Amos in an admiral's uniform.

The greatest Bad-Ass in TV history is Race Bannon from Jonny Quest. He knew weapons and judo and scuba and demolitions. He knew enough science to be the right-hand-man to a genius. He could speak Chinese. He could fly any kind of rig that's ever been made, from jets to hovercraft to whirlybirds to WWI biplanes. And he was the coolest babysitter ever. And his name was Race, which is awesome.

Like when Ms. Bunting is on the show.
