I spent this week binging Crime Story, St. Elsewhere, and Baywatch.  My goal here is to write up three months worth of Retro Television Reviews over the next week so that I can devote all of September and October to horrorthon.

I also watched Big Brother 28.  Thursday was the 1,000th episode of Big Brother.  Since I’ve see every episode, I did the math and discovered that I have spent the equivalent of 43 days just watching Big Brother.  That left me feeling very depressed.

On Friday, my friend Pat McCurry put together a tribute for Tim Curry and Dolly Parton.  First, we watched a thoroughly forgettable 2000 sitcom called Bette.  As you can guess from the title, it starred Bette Midler as herself.  The episode that we watched featured Bette appearing on Dolly Parton’s Halloween special.  Dolly was charming.  The rest of the sitcom was pretty forgettable.  We followed this with an episode of a 90s crime show called Wiseguy.  Tim Curry played a crooked music producer.  The show was serialized so I really couldn’t follow the plot but Curry gave a typically magnetic preformance.

Along with my binging, I also watched and reviewed CHiPs, Pacific Blue, 1st & Ten, Hunter, Sledge Hammer, and Saved By The Bell.

And I also watched a Republican Presidential Primary Debate from 1996!  It was on YouTube.  I liked that Lamar Alexander.  Did he win?
