Atypical 2.09

Rick and Morty 3.02

Rickmancing the Stone

Jerry moves out. He and Beth ended their marriage. Morty says goodbye to their father but Summer doesn't won't even look at him as he leaves. Instead she asks Rick to take them on an adventure. They wind up in a Mad Max styled world. They are there to steal a really valuable element, which is Rick's idea, of course.

NewsRadio 3.09

Movie Star

James Caan visits WNYX. He is preparing for a role in which he plays a news broadcaster. He hangs out with Bill but quickly becomes more intrigued by Matthew who demonstrates how weird he can get.

Jimmy has one extra ticket for a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. Catherine and Beth both want it. Joe tests them to see who is more worthy of it.

Dave and Lisa argue about the value of television. Dave is in favor of it. Lisa is not, until she learns about C-SPAN.

I have a vague memory of this one. It isn't my favorite but it is a fun one to watch. All three stories have their moments that made me laugh.

Cowboy Bebop 1.18

Orange Is the New Black 2.03

Hugs Can Be Deceiving

The title is not as cute as it might seem at first glance. There are actually a number of hugs in this episode but it is about more than just hugs. The hugs are ways to link the various plot threads together but it is more like a common language than it is a common theme.

The Phil Silvers Show 1.07

The Hoodlum

Sgt Bilko has to deal with Private Parker, a lowlife soldier who thinks he's a tough guy and just wants to get out of the Army. Colonel Hall was ready to give Parker a Big Chicken Dinner but the chaplain talks him into transferring him to Bilko's platoon. Bilko fools Parker into thinking that they are planning to rob Fort Knox. He keeps Parker so busy that he doesn't have time to sleep. Bilko's plan kind of backfires when Parker is named soldier of the month, an award that Bilko was hoping to win himself.

I thought it started a bit slow but I like how the episode shifted once Bilko started acting like they were getting ready to rob Fort Knox. Pretty good even if it does feel a bit dated.
