Ep. 9: Troubleshooting, Backtracking and Fact-Checking


In this installment, I correct a few errors I’ve discovered along the way in this cataloging effort, and revisit my methodology. I catch up with the Poirot installment I highlighted last time, and enjoyed the season opener for “American Horror Story: Cult.”

Ep. 8: Experiments, Recoveries and Making it Work


In this installment, I finally break into some fresh programming, and an experiment involving the series premiere of “The Shield” leads to a revelation, however short-lived. Recovery efforts are thankfully rewarded with an otherwise potentially lost episode of “Preacher,” and the 16th season of “Project Runway” gets off to a great start.
