Night Court | Indecent Cancellation

Modern Television shows are hard to come by when it comes to making a string of hits these days. It has to conform to the contemporary audience, as these days you can’t just put up a modern sitcom that will give you backlash because of a specific theme or scene by a character that would be offensive to conservative critics.

The recent cancellation of Frasier’s spinoff is one example of why older fans have been up in arms about the concept that the lead character had to move back to Boston and undo the happy ending that he had cherished that lasted only to the second season, with an open-ended narrative that can be considered the end or can be revisited.

DVD on Rewind | Magnum PI Complete Series

07.31.2018 – Magnum PI, is one of those classic television series ripe for a remake or reboot for the millennial generation.

It stars Tom Selleck in the title role as “Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV” with John Hillerman as Jonathan Quayle Higgins III that also includes Roger E. Moseley as “Theodore “T.C.” Calvin”, and, Larry Manetti as “Orville Wilbur Richard "Rick" Wright to round up the cast of the series.

The series ran for eight seasons but the first complete series certainly was way different to the succeeding episodes as the production was trying to ‘figure out’ who was Thomas Magnum in the eyes of the viewers.

DVD on Rewind | Automan: The Complete Series

06.18.2018 – There have been too many science fiction shows now in television and in the films. So much that expands also to streaming networks like Netflix with all-original content that you get lost track of everything with some of them have been well-written that there’s not so much time to get engrossed in them.

But back in the 1980s things were different when it comes to these types of shows. With Star Wars its about how popular that inspire others to make their own and experiment through stiff competition why movies like Tron back in the day never get the attention until a cult following brings it back. But not like Automan that inspired it this was unheard of well until you borrow it in a library.

Stranger Things | Beyond Popcorn & Flickering Lights

08.16.2016 – Joyce Byers is not buying it that his son is dead. The Duffer Brothers is just merely holding back to what everything is all about “Stranger Things.” Netflix has not renewed the series and the collective who have seen it is very anxious.

I myself won’t even believe it that this is all about it. There have been breadcrumbs left at the wake of the eight episode first season series and the lights are slowly flickering. It’s a series that had resolution but also left the upside down open…
