Back in the day, we used to watch Mad Men when it was on TV on a week-by-week basis, but by around Season 5 things were too f*cked up, and there didn't seem to be much redeeming value to the main characters, so we slowly fell off.  This year, being the completionist that I am, I wanted to watch the seasons I had missed out after 2010(?) when we stopped watching. Spoilers obviously, but then again

Well, here's one final Year In Review. This time from my TV tracking app (which also tracks movies).  Some things are still predictable (I watch a lot of MasterChef). Some things are not totally accurate - for instance, I didn't binge WWE Smackdown, but I did mark that I had watched certain seasons (back in the last 90s/early 2000s), which TVTime counted as having watched last January.  The

Continuing on with my vintage sci-fi binge (this might be the last one for now...until I discover more), today I present to you William Shatner's TekWar.This series started life as a series of novels written by Shatner, or written by Ron Goulart, who seems to be uncredited and Shatner lending his name to them for exposure/promotional purposes...Anyway, it seems like Shatner, after Star Trek, just needed

Welp, Stranger Things is officially concluded!If you haven't seen any of the series...why are you reading this post? I am nor responsible for spoilers ;-)  That said, the final season was fine.  I think that the show "lost" something by having the final three seasons being release every three years.  The first three seasons kind of flowed together, despite the 2018 "break" between seasons

Over the last few years, I've been looking for older sci-fi shows  to watch. This is was a short (13 episode) quirky buddy-cop/sidekick series. Automan is short for "Automatic Man."  One of the series protagonists, Walter Nebicher, creates an artificially intelligent crimefighting computer program that generates a hologram (Automan) able to leave the computer world at night and fight

This is my other November binge on Netflix ;-) I am a huge fan of the Splinter Cell series and got excited when this was announced earlier this year (a game that picks up after Blacklist would be nice, but I guess we'll take this for now!)In this series, the story finds an older Sam Fisher living in isolation in rural Poland, having left the world of espionage behind. His quiet life is interrupted

This was my November binge. It was a short series, so it was a short two week binge, but still a binge. Having played some of Cyberpunk on the xbox one at some point this year, I thought I'd give this a try.  The game was fine, but I was having a hard time getting into it. Maybe the pacing was off, maybe I was too impatient, but I got stuck somewhere early on in the game (after you learn

I saw the entire series in October 2025, mostly to be a completionist about the NCIS universe series.  This series has no raison d'être. It feels stiff, and do we really care about these two characters when they are separated from the NCIS pack?So, what is this series about?  Well, after Ziva resurfaces in 2020, she goes to Paris to meet with Tony and Tali (their kid).  Tony is now

Since it's October, and I live in Salem, why not binge something Witchy?  I came across the Mayfair Witches recently, so this seemed like a good October series to binge.The core plot revolves around Rowan, a medical doctor who is a witch, but doesn't know it. When her mother is in distress, her power manifest themselves (surprise, I guess?), which gets the Talamasca's hackles up.  They are

While waiting for season two of NCIS: Origins to start, I thought I'd write a little bit about the inaugural season that aired last year.  Gibbs is back!  Well, sort of!  The series, as the name implies, is a prequel.  It's a prequel on two counts. First, it follows a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs as he begins his career as a special agent at the Navy Investigative Service Camp Pendleton
