Episode 598: The Great Sproat Caper
Some thoughts about David Collins.
Episode 603: Television Without Pity
In which I praise three accomplished solo performances- Joan Bennett playing opposite her own voiceover, Louis Edmonds playing opposite an empty room, and Alexandra Moltke Isles playing opposite Roger Davis.
Episode 618: Stop Trying
In which I wonder what they were thinking, having a visibly pregnant actress play a character who is frantically driven to get married as soon as possible.
Episode 642: Mind Over Manners
I make the case that the growing friendship between Vicki and David was not only the best thing about the first 42 weeks of the show, but that Alexandra Moltke Isles’ and David Henesy’s performances in that story were the purest example in the whole series of good acting overcoming weak writing.
Episode 659: Gone Girl
I defend the idea that it was the ghost of Sarah Collins who sent Vicki back in time to meet Angelique.

In which I realize what Joel Crothers was talking about when he explained why he left Dark Shadows.

Episode 730: How I Met Your Mother
Why I liked the original Phoenix story.
Episode 820: The Hand Shakedown
