TESLA'S DEATH RAY
STRANGE EVIDENCE:
"Ghost in the Abyss". A deep-ocean expedition discovers unnerving evidence of
an alien-like monster stirring in the abyss. When an apocalyptic shockwave is
caught on tape, investigators wonder if a meteor has hit a city. Something
bizarre is happening in a Siberian ice river. I'd enjoy this show much more if
it weren't so sensationalized, like WHAT ON EARTH and NASA'S SECRET FILES.
STRANGE EVIDENCE:
"Jungle Werewolf". A strange beast is spotted in a remote Brazilian town. A
cataclysmic blast sparks fears of nuclear disaster. When a child displays
superhuman powers, some fear it's the devil's work. I have to call
"shenanigans" on the "demon child" footage not being altered.

THE RIFLEMAN:
"Knight Errant". An ex-army officer and the other an eccentric cavalier, two
of Lucas' oldest friends, ask him to observe a chess match to prevent any
cheating. It turns out their henchmen were doing the cheating b/c they were
tired of how ineptly their bosses played chess.
THE RIFLEMAN:
"Honest Abe". An eccentric man who pretends he's Abe Lincoln spends a weekend
with Lucas and Mark. He finds himself in trouble when he gets in a fight with
a man in the saloon and breaks the man's arm. I could have sworn there were
scenes missing from last time I watched this...
THE WILD WILD WEST:
"The Night of the Diva". On his return trip from Washington, Artie is asked by
Ulysses S. Grant to escort Rosa Montebello, a famous opera singer and the
daughter of the Italian ambassador, to her performance in New Orleans. Artie
receives an invitation to a better gig, so Jim offers to escort her instead.
Good thing, too, as he is able to foil her kidnapping by a group called the
Club of Lucia. Unbeknownst to our heroes, two other opera divas who have
performed as Lucia in New Orleans have disappeared recently. That certainly
would have been helpful to know beforehand, no? The two agents assume
Montebello is still in danger of being kidnapped, so they pursue the secret
members of the Club of Lucia. Their investigation leads them to the Crenshaw
brothers. One is active in the business side of opera. The other is a recluse
who wears a Greek theater mask to hide his identity. Both are tied to a fire
in the opera house years before which killed the great opera diva, Caroline
Mason. Or did it? In one of my favorite twists, the masked Crenshaw is really
Caroline Mason. Her vocal cords were damaged in the fire, giving her a male
voice, thereby ruining her singing career. She has been kidnapping singers who
attempt to perform as Lucia, her favorite role, hoping to recapture her past
glory. She keeps the singers in giant bird cages in her basement (this is The
Wild Wild West, after all.) while forcing them to perform Lucia until they get
it right. Which is never, of course.
WONDER WOMAN
"Stolen Faces". In the teaser before the opening credits, little Timmy
is playing in the street at the 1940's backlot when he sees a crappy car
pull up and Wonder Woman get out. He runs across the street to meet her
and almost gets run over by a car but Wonder Woman saves his life by
getting hit instead. Gee, I wonder why her face is hidden? Well, it
turns out it was only a Wonder Woman imposter who couldn't have
possibly been her. Dianna is sent to investigate and no sooner does she
arrive at the hospital than she thwarts an attempt to kill the imposter
but the killer escapes. She performs some legwork, pre-Google style and
tracks down the costume to a gym that offers Wondwer Woman appearances
at parties and special occassions but when she goes to investigate,
almost gets run over in the parking lot and falls off the building.
Lucky for her she's rotating along her vertical axis as she is falling,
allowing her to twirl into Womer Woman! She chases down the car which is
barely moving at walking speed, only to discover the driver is now
wearing a really bad little old lady disguise and lets him go.
Meanwhile, a rich fashion designer of some sort of preparing for a lame
"Fashions That Made the 1920's Roar" show, complete with Tommy Guns. To
make a long nonsensical story short (too late!), the wealthy designer,
who is also a master of disguise, is pulling the heist of the century by
having the models rob the rich attendees, then having a fake Wonder
Woman pretend to save the day so he can run off with the loot and retire
in South America. Whut?
FAMILY GUY:
"The Splendid Source". Peter and the gang's search for the historical source
of dirty jokes leads them to Virginia, where they reunite with Cleveland.
FAMILY GUY:
"Excellence in Broadcasting". After discovering Rush Limbaugh is in
town, Brian goes to confront him, only to discover Rush is right and
becomes a conservative. This is one of the better eps, which surprises
me because Seth McFarlane is such a ignorant leftist.
RICK AND MORTY:
"Something Ricked This Way Comes".
RICK AND MORTY:
"Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind".
TCM UNDERGROUND:
"The Night Visitor". A farmer is framed for murder and railroaded into an
insane asylum by his ambitious sister and her doctor husband.
