I would like to start with the news that Netflix finally has all six seasons of Supernatural on Instant Play, and while I am thrilled to have that kind of access to those Wonderful Winchesters (and Papa Winchester too!), they have stripped all the classic rock out of the season one episodes and replaced it with cheezy and lame-o “Rock”. So if anyone out there is finally giving this show a chance because it can be accessed by...

By Stu Robinson, The producers and writers of CBS’s new Hawaii Five-0 are turning stunt casting into the equivalent of an Olympic sport. After a great episode featuring guest star James Caan (Brian’s Song, The Godfather, NBC’s Las Vegas), the H50 brain trust took its game up a notch for a guest appearance by TV legend Ed Asner (The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lou Grant) in Season 2, Episode 19.

That was fun! I had to rewind through the credits to see if that was an Edlund episode I enjoyed it so much! (it wasn’t) And a big Thank You to the THEN previously monkeys who confirmed my suspicion that there had been a previous clown run-in for Sammy on this show. Sometimes the THENs are annoying, but sometimes they are a godsend for someone like me, whose memory is faulty. Anyhoo! We open with poor little Sammy being chased by a...
Honestly, could things get more bleak? That was the most depressing.thing.evar! This, however, does not mean I didn’t like it, because I did, but there was a part of me that wanted to jump in front of Sam’s gun there at the end… So we begin this week’s adventure with the boys in yet another NotMetallicar (I miss the old girl!), and Dean suffering from not only grief, but is burnt out in the worst way. Sam has found a...
