Ep. 17: Enjoying a Few "Finallys"
In this installment, I correct a turn-of-phrase error from when I talked about “Pushing Daisies” last time. I go into some detail about 1999’s “Topsy-Turvy,” or the making of “The Mikado.” Other finds in my classic collection include “Drumline,” “The Twilight Zone” and “Swingers.” My current collection turns up “Pacific Rim,” “Mommie Dearest” and “The Campaign” and my catalog of “Supernaturals” enters season 11. Finally, in what I’ve been watching, we’ve got the “Doctor Who” Christmas special, the “Breaking Bad” 10-year celebration and the dark ages between my classic and current collections, comments on “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson,” “9-1-1,” “grown-ish,” “The X Files,” “Will & Grace,” “Superstore” and “Happy!” Plus I finally get to see “Hocus Pocus” all the way through -- fun!

Ep. 16: Enjoying a Big Reveal
In this installment, I clean up a little old business regarding those "unrecoverably absent" portions of SciFi's three-part miniseries "Tin Man" from last time and rule out a possibility on Crowdsourcing Exhibit C, the crowd scene in the French Quarter of New Orleans. My Friday Night Feature explores a season 1 episode of "Samantha Who" and a bombshell revelation from season 1 of "Pushing Daisies."
My Classic Collection traces the 1.0 version of this video cataloging project, episodes of NBC's "Life" and "The Universe" on the History Channel, and ABC's presentation of Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events." My Current Collection has logged nearly a score of "Supernaturals," a few more "Fawlty Towers" and closed out my collection of "Archers" and "Brockmires." I saved a standout episode of "The Family Guy" and determined that I'm going to go back in and recatalog my episodes of "The President Show" to make them easier to navigate. Finally, in What I've Been Watching, I can't say I stayed spoiler-free on "Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi," but I can say it's absolutely worth a view.

Ep. 15: Adventures in Absentia
In this installment, my Friday Night Feature on "Tin Man" opens onto what appears to be a puzzling, unrecoverable absence of missing media, and while talking out my next move I comment on MTV News and anti-piracy efforts. My Classic Collection offers up a few more Kathy Griffin stand-up specials, and my Current Collection sparks some commentary on "Bob's Burgers."
In What I've Been Watching, I spend a weekend clearing movies from the DVR including "Dark Shadows," "Insidious," "Pulp Fiction" (one of my many, many recordings), "Guys and Dolls," "ParaNorman" and "Cabin in the Woods," tho I am thwarted yet again in my viewing of "Hocus Pocus."
Also, I draw some parallels between Pixar’s brilliant Dia de los Muertos epic "Coco" (go see it -- go see it now) and Laika's "Kubo and the Two Strings" from last summer, and I close out with some comments on Carol Burnett's delightful 50th Anniversary special.
