A double-dose of Brit TV begins at Cult TV Blog, with John's take on "The Classroom," an episode of the little-remembered and difficult to categorize anthology series The Frighteners. I always enjoy his looks at these obscure series, because I'm always on the lookout for interesting new shows to check out.
Continuing across the pond, at Comfort TV, David looks at Department S, which is a cross between, what—Murder, She Wrote, The Avengers, and James Bond? If that inexact comparison is enough to whet your appetite, I urge you to check out the series.
At A Shroud of Thoughts, Terence invites us to view the intriguing UPN series Nowhere Man, which premiered 30 years ago. It's the story of a documentary photographer, played by Bruce Greenwood, who finds that his entire life has been "erased" from everyone's memory, except for his. Interested?
That's just one of many series celebrating anniversaries over the next few weeks, which makes sense given September is the month when most series used to premiere. Television Obscurities has a comprehensive list of those shows; see how many of them you remember from back when.4
At A View from the Junkyard, Roger's retrospective on The A-Team brings us to "The Taxicab Wars," a delightful episode that's just as much fun to watch today as it was when it originally aired, and for classic TV fans, that's often a relief.
And it just wouldn't be Friday without a little self-promotion from yours truly, right? My latest edition of the "Two Minute Author" (which only runs for three-and-a-half minutes this time) looks at David Karp's 1955 drama "One," and how a classic TV historian manages to write about an episode that no longer exists.
