As others have said, I'd say the only blips for the rest of the seaons are Killed by Death and Go Fish, but everything else is pretty damn great. Passion is amazing, Bewitched is hysterical, I Only Have Eyes for You very poignant and brilliantly executed (indeed, the main issue with Go Fish is the way it deflates the…

Consequences: Good episode, nothing special I feel similarly to it as I do to Doug Petries' season 3 episodes—it get's the job done adn moves the plot along, but isn't a highlight.

After having seen the full series I introduced the show via a few episodes to a friend ("Hush," "Doppelgangland," "Restless"). I was trying to decide what episode to show her next when I said "maybe we should just watch the whole series in order." She said okay, and I got the distinct pleasure of watching it with…

Spicoli:

Why wait? Let's get into this now. "This" being, of course, a look into the various writers on the show. A closer look at each of those prolific writers (Joss excepted), in order of # of episodes:

I'm one of the people who blames Marti for part of the downhill quality, though it could be argued that the series was just running out of gas, which does happen. And Joss truly wasn't around at all for most of Season 6 and 7. According to Alyson Hannigan, he pretty much stopped being there in season 6 after Once…

Miles: Vampire: The Masquerade?

It's most definitely Connor. You're right about that. Connor is the most annoying character in either show. Well, him or Warren. I hate Warren.

Yeah, apparently Bianca Lawson, Charisma Charpenter, Elizabeth Anne Allen (Amy) and Mercedes McNab (Harmony) all auditioned for the part of Buffy. And Sarah Michelle Gellar auditioned for Cordelia.

You're right that Whedon got a little greedy with the big episodes (though he didn't solely write and direct "What's My Line"), but I always looked at it a little differently. When such big things are going on, I always thought it was a good thing that he was the one doing those episodes, because no one else could do…

What's My Theme?
You may be right that the thematic elements of What's My Line? may be a bit too on the nose, but it's an important episode(s), and as I've aid before the one I feel marks the true beginning of the show being what it becomes. One of the primary reasons for this is it's where Buffy stops overtly being…

A similar, and possibly better known, occurrence happened on NewsRadio, where Jon Lovitz played three different characters: Max Lewis (of course), the Jumper from the season 4 premiere, and Ullyses S. Grant, 18th President of the United States in "Our Fiftieth Episode."

Jim Carreey made for a terrible Riddler. The Animated Series Riddler was an interesting, cold, brilliant character. The movie Riddler was all stupid, campy bullshit, just like everything from the Schumaker Batman movies.

Natural Join: Would you sip boiling water? Or handle it cavalierly? Because that's what people do with coffee. The woman didn't know it would be 190 degrees, and got very, very burned.

UPN and the WB launched the same year.

I think the Halloween episodes actually degrade as they go along. Season 4 was ok, but nothing special (except for the end, which was awesome). The season 6 Halloween episode…well, let's just say the best thing about it is the toddler witch asking for candy.
