Lisa Marie’s Week In Television: 4/12/26 — 4/18/26


Growing Pains (Tubi)

Matthew Perry played the boyfriend of Kirk Cameron’s sister.  He drank too much, he crashed his car, and he died.  This is one of those very special episodes that one might roll their eyes at, if not for the fact that it guest starred Perry.  Because it did guest star Perry, it was very sad to watch.

Homicide: Life On The Street (Peacock)

A review for this episode will be dropping tomorrow.

Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger (Shout TV)

In this show,  from Japan, a group of teenagers used the power of the dinosaurs to defeat a witch.  I watched three episodes on Saturday.  The stop-motion dinosaurs and tigers were cute.

The Right Time (YouTube)

This was a 90s music show that was hosted by singer Tom Jones.  I watched two episodes on Friday.  The first one was called “Pop Music” and I enjoyed it.  The second one was called “Gospel Music” and it was a little dull.

Saved By The Bell (Tubi)

A review for this episode will be dropping later tonight.

Who’s The Boss (Prime)

On Friday, after Jeff and I finished up The Trip, Amazon took us straight into this Tony Danza-starring sitcom.  We watched the first episode, which was pretty forgettable.  (Danza is a former baseball player turned housekeeper and no one can believe it.)  The theme song kind of got stuck in my head though.

WKRP In Cincinnati (DVD)

Jeff and I watched several episodes of this 70s sitcom over the week.  Even if the humor was a bit dated, it was a funny show.  Herb Tarlek’s suits were amazing.

Horror on TV: Hammer House Of Horror #4: Growing Pains (dir by Francis Megahy)


In the fourth episode of Hammer House of Horror, Gary Bond plays a scientist whose son dies after eating some toxic proteins that just happened to be lying around the lab.  The scientist’s wife (Barbara Kellerman) goes down to the local orphanage to collect a new son but this new kid turns out to be more than a little creepy.

This bizarre episode originally aired, in the UK, on October 4th, 1980.  A quick warning: This episode does feature some dead rabbits.  I like rabbits so that bothered me a bit, even though it made sense in the context of the story.
