As a TV Squad contributor who, admittedly, could be considered a "niche viewer" (in that I watch few shows, but never miss an episode), I was naturally hesitant to check out
Roommates on
ABC Family. A friend guaranteed me that the show was not only as bad as one might expect, but that it was so utterly, bafflingly wretched that investing thirty minutes in it turned out way more entertaining than I'd expected, and not just in the so-bad-it's-funny way, either.
Roommates is
so atrocious, its production should be considered a criminal offense, considering that, even as a basic cable program, hundreds of thousands of dollars (at the very
least) have surely been invested in the show. And that's money that could have easily gone toward refugees or food banks or, say, into the budget of
ABC Family's other critically lauded programming like
Greek or
Secret Life of The American Teenager.

Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.Wow, if you bought all of the complete series sets being released this week you'd have a great start for your TV DVD collection:
NewsRadio,
The Flintstones,
The 4400,
Sanford and Son, and several others. The
NewsRadio set doesn't have anything that wasn't in the individual sets, but it's a great buy if you don't have all of the seasons. The
Mystery Science Theater 3000 set (the one with the collectible Crow and lobby cards) might already be sold out, so I'd check on that. I used to watch
Zoom back in the 70s, though I can't imagine buying the DVD set.
I don't think I've ever seen
The Doris Day Show, but it looks like something I might have to have.
- The 4400 - Complete Series
- Cathouse - Complete Series
- Dark Shadows - Vol. 6: Episodes 179-209

(S05E10) When I checked the schedule and saw the title of this episode was "Peter's Two Dads" I was a little torn. First, the Peter-centric episodes generally have a much higher chance of going off the rails. On the other hand, the possibility that it would be a play on the 80's sit-com
My Two Dads, which starred Greg Evigan, Paul Reiser, and Staci Keanan, was intriguing.
Unfortunately (probably only for me), that idea never materialized, and the episode that we did see still left me with something of a mixed reaction. On the good side, it was well constructed, and I give a lot of points to the writers for a well thought out plot. Chris got a bit of the short shrift, but using Meg's birthday as the setting for offing Francis was a good choice. It involved her in what was otherwise a mostly Peter affair.
