Season Four of Family Ties gets to a shakey start with a pretty terrible made-for-TV movie that sees the Keaton family jetting across the ocean to England. Taking the family out of their sit-com environment where they can deliver messages, and important themes, and delve into ethical situations and putting them in a slapstick version…

Teen Wolf (1985) -Rod Daniel
Just before he began work on Back to the Future, and while he was riding high on a television sitcom with Family Ties, Micheal J, Fox made a werewolf movie that is the next recommendation from DK Canada’s highly enjoyable, Monsters in the Movies. More about an analogy for fitting in, and standing out, the…
Trailer Tracks: Teen Wolf – Rod Daniel
While Tim is away, Sue will play! I thought I’d start out my trailer tracks with a throw way, way back to a film that’s as good cheesy fun today as it was when it came out, Teen Wolf. One of several Michael J Fox vehicles to hit our screens throughout the mid-80’s, this one…

Last week saw a lot of epic television, but I’m going to try and focus on a few in particular this time – especially the ones that I inadvertently left out last post. Lost Girl – Tim usually writes the episode recaps, and while I thought of trying to write one for last week’s…
Current TV Shows I Most Enjoy – Part II
Teen Wolf – I know, I know – how do I go from a period show (Bomb Girls) to a modern series based on a reimagining of a belovedly ridiculous teen flick from the 80’s? Well, I’ll tell you this much: the shows in this list have more in common with one another than they…
Teen Wolf – One of the Best Shows You’re Not Watching
I remember watching Teen Wolf with Michael J. Fox back in 1985 and I remember totally crushing on the female lead in the film Boof (Susan Ursitti). So when Sue told me that MTV was making a new series based on the same material my immediate reaction with raised eyebrows and cynical expression on my…
