Moonlight fans go crazy. A complete series set! I'm surprised I haven't bought any of the
Rockford Files DVDs since it was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid, but it's just something I haven't gotten around to yet.
As for
The Girls of Little House on the Prairie, well, that sounds kinda dirty.

(S02E10) Where are the Jim Andersons and Steve Douglases of the world? In TV's yesteryear, you could count on the
Father Knows Best and
My Three Sons patriarchs to be there as positive role models and responsible parents. You can't say that about either Sarah's dad or Chuck's father, although at least in this the former showed up to visit his daughter.
Jack Burton would never win a father of the year award, but he might qualify as a fun dad. Starting with a flashback (which reminded me of Shawn's memories on
Psych), we quickly learned that Sarah was a grifter-child, lead astray by her charming, conman rogue of a dad, Gary Cole. Well, better a rogue con artist than another rogue spy.

Sometimes a celebrity dies who wasn't just a TV star, they actually had a hand in almost every aspect of television over a very long period of time. We lost two such stars over the weekend.
For example, fans of
NCIS will know Nina Foch (right) from her role as Ducky's mother on the show. But did you know she also starred in several vintage horror movies back as early as the early 40s, such as
Return of the Vampire and
Cry of the Werewolf? She also had the honor of being the very first murder victim on
Columbo, in 1968's
Prescription: Murder (done in by hubby Gene Barry). She also appeared in several other TV shows, such as
Bull,
Just Shoot Me,
Dharma & Greg,
Murder She Wrote,
L.A. Law,
Hunter,
Lou Grant,
Barnaby Jones,
Hawaii Five-0,
That Girl, and a ton of others. She appeared in
Spartacus,
The Ten Commandments,
An American in Paris and others. She was even the associate director on
The Diary of Anne Frank.
Foch passed away in Los Angeles on Friday at age 84.
