If only all revivals were as good as Ash vs. Evil Dead, 24: Live Another Day and (to a lesser extent) the Veronica Mars movie.

My grandmother had TWO VHS copies of it. We were forced to watch it every time we were at her house as kids. The one thing I'll give the movie, aside from Burnett and Curry, is the kids. Not Aileen (Also, spoiler alert: it's a wig. She has pitch black hair.), but all those kids spinning on ceiling fans and swinging

The reason behind the unlikely but true statement "The show really hit its stride in SEASON 9 (!!!) when he replaced Lyle Waggoner and Don Crichton."

Seasons 1 and 4 of The O.C. are terrific as well. Avoid Seasons 2-3 like the plague though. They're The Motion Picture and Star Trek V to Seasons 1 and 4's Star Treks II-IV and VI. Boring at best, embarrassing at worst, and completely unnecessary for anyone but completists.

And Farcape. Pivot was right up there with IFC and Sundance in terms of quality reruns.

And Friday Night Lights and Farscape. I'm pouring one out for Pivot tonight.

Because we all heavily drank to get through Maura Tierney/Goran Visnjic era (not their fault the writing sucked) and subsequently repressed everything from the Linda Cardellini/John Stamos era (starting around the time a helicopter fell on Paul McCrane). Fifteen seasons of drama… five or six of them great. E.R..

It's consensual. The safe-word is "Burn!!!".

No, Season 2 was part of Paul Scheuring's game plan all along. That's why (up until the tacked-on cliffhanger in the final few minutes, at least) the Season 2 finale had a real sense of closure about it. The rest of the series was just about FOX making more money.

Honestly, I don't think Scheuring cared anymore at that point. He'd told the story he'd set out to tell and was done with it. The only reason he tacked on the ending and returned the next year to write the premiere was probably out of gratitude to FOX for even picking up the series in the first place after several

That's because the ending was changed. Creator/showrunner Paul Scheuring intended for the show to only last two seasons, but FOX wanted more since it became a massive hit. Scheuring tacked on the Panama prison ending to his intended series finale, returned to write the Season 3 premiere, and then left the series in

Giles' part in it was certainly controversial, but James Marsters and D.B. Woodside gave absolutely riveting performances. And how often can that be said about D.B. Woodside?

We're kinda/sorta living in that timeline. Brannon Braga wanted to do it, but UPN turned him down due to worries that a dark, serialized storyline would hurt the ratings. Years later UPN was worried about the ratings and wanted a dark, serialized storyline to get viewers back.

Whedon's original Fray miniseries and Christos Gage's runs on Angel & Faith: Season Nine and Buffy: Season Ten are legitimately great, critically-acclaimed comics. People should seriously seek them out. And look up reviews on ComicBookRoundup (the RottenTomatoes of comics) while they're at it.

1) Joss Whedon's Buffy musical Once More, with Feeling (2001)
2) Joss Whedon's Fray comic book miniseries (2001-2003)
3) Most Season 7 episodes written or co-written by Drew Goddard:
Selfless, Conversations with Dead People
and Lies My Parents Told Me (2002-2003)
4) Christos Gage's Angel & Faith: Season Nine comics

Peter MacNicol's delightfully over-the-top performance is the only thing that doesn't annoy me about Ghostbusters II.

He's ACookieMonster. Ours is THE Cookie Monster.

When it came to The Real Ghostbusters it wasn't the writers' faults; it was executive meddling. After the first 78 episodes the studio demanded that Janine be made "softer" and "more motherly" and the actress replaced, that Ernie Hudson/Arsenio Hall's Winston be made the ghostbusters' driver, that there be a team of

Not to mention having co-exec Steven L. Sears quit mid-season 5, as well losing showrunner R.J. Stewart to Cleopatra 2525 for pretty much the entire fifth season.
