  17. Yellow
  18. Death of Some Salesman
  19. As Ye Sow
  20. People Who Live In Brass Hearses
  21. Two For the Show
  22. House of Horror

I'm sure I left something out.

What do you think of What's Cooking?

Good one. I hadn't watched it in a long time (until just now). Not sure why this one didn't stick with me as much as some of the others did. I saw most of these when they first aired (between the ages 10-15 I think), so when What's Cooking came out, I think Christopher Reeve was still Superman in my mind. Maybe I didn't like seeing Superman serve up Meatloaf? Hah! I don't know.

During the introduction, is the chef on the table the same guy who plays the escaped convict/Santa in All Through the House? Hard to say for sure, but I thought it kind of looked like him.

Hard to believe this series is nearly thirty years old. Sheesh. They still hold up though. Thinking I'll go through a few of my favorites over the weekend.

Love this show! Over the past few years, I went through and watched all seven seasons for the first time. It's been a while since I've watched most of the episodes, but I remember the first few seasons being generally superior to the later seasons. Some of my favorite episodes are:

  1. Fitting Punishment
  2. Three's a Crowd
  3. Easel Kill Ya
  4. Maniac at Large
  5. Only Skin Deep
  6. Four-Sided Triangle
  7. Horror in the Night
  8. Dig That Cat... He's Real Gone
  9. King of the Road
  10. House of Horror

The first two seasons contain all of my real favorites.

Besides that I did like death of some salesman, the monkey's paw adaption and long of the road
