Re: One Picture is Worth (7.3)

I am surprised to see I never commented on this episode the first time I watched the series, probably because I really liked it and didn't have time to do it justice. I rate it excellent at 9.0, it did have a barely noticeable sag to it but not bad and it checks every box, including comedy (Higgins ...

Re: L.A. (2) (7.2)

Finally broke the seal on Season 7 on my second series-rewatch. LA has a lot of bizarre elements, is it Noir perhaps? (Comedy club-kid chop shop with bonus Carleton!) Nevertheless, it ventures into pretty good rating territory, interesting pacing and cinematography, Dana Delaney is lovely but yes st...

Re: A Little Bit of Luck, A Little Bit of Grief (6.20)

On my series rewatch, I spin the Western States rating wheel and this one comes up a "7.0" average at best...

I really like Larry Manetti and the Rick character, I just don't like the episode making him out to be a schmuck :magnum:

Pahonu,

Please, no need to apologize!

I finally got around to downloading sketchup and having a look at your model and wow, that is really something!

Thanks for making that for us buddy!

I'm not good at this kind of thing but the links didn't work for me, not sure if it has to do with this:

Re: Who is Don Luis Higgins? .... (6.19)

Is it just me or does Hillerman's accent on the roof carry a wee bit of Father Paddy Mcguiness before he calibrates it to Don Luis Espanol on-the-fly?

A silly 7.5 for me :magnum:

Re: Find Me a Rainbow (6.18)

The two playmates plus lots of bikini bottoms in the beginning - can they give the viewer a break? (Or maybe an ice cold Coops and an ice bag? I might have to go rest on a couch at the KKC) Stella certainly aged well! Ok so on a serious note, touching episode, pacing slightly off and could have bene...

Re: Way of the Stalking Horse (6.17)

Rewatching the series, A great episode, I do believe this one makes it through as one of my top favorites! :magnum: It has some unpolished edges but comes off even grittier for them. Rough edges, yet I wouldn't want this one changed... Lots of high points, loved the baseball opener, the plot twist, ...

Re: This Island Isn't Big Enough (6.16)

You guys summed this one up well, I rated it "7.5" this time around. My DVD S6d4 skips a bit on this episode and the previous one so I missed a few seconds of the action (didn't see Rick after his boat was boarded etc). Not very good but yes memorable, potential cult favorite, hey memorable is bette...

Re: Mad Dogs and Englishmen (6.14)

I just watched "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" on my official second series re-watch. I concur with many of the prior comments, as I did enjoy the episode in a silly way. The best I could rate it was 7.5. The "freaky little Higgins flag" was funny, the likeness of el Higo looks like a sprite out of the "D...

Re: Summer School (6.13)

I continue to be at odds with my prior reviews and the general sentiment,

Rewatched "Summer School" today 9 years after my earlier review and I feel generous to rate it a "7.5"
