Scooby-Doo! - Nowhere to Hyde television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. In a twist, a ghost finds the gang in “Nowhere to Hyde” when the Ghost of Mr. Hyde (John Stephenson) hides in the back of the Mystery Machine after a jewel robbery. Once discovered, the ghost escapes and Mystery, Inc. chases him to a spooky house in the middle of nowhere where they find a scientist (Stephenson) suffering from blackouts and his unusual housekeeper Helga (Susan Stewart). While it’s unclear how exactly Hyde is a ghost, the design of the monster of the week is a lot of fun.

Charlie's Angels - Angels on Ice television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. Season Two of the show follows up it’s double-sized premiere with another two-hour episode sending the Angels in to investigate trouble with the Ice Capades only days before they are set to open. After the show’s two stars disappear, the unlikely sudden appearance of two talented unknowns raises further questions for the Angels. Despite lacking the talent of professional skaters, Kris (Cheryl Ladd) and Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) manage to charm their way into the show (although Kris finds herself playing the fool, literally). James Gammon guest-stars as the loyal but dimwitted Billy whose obsession with one of the stars allows the kidnappers access to the arena and starts the assassination plot rolling.

Remington Steele - Steele in the News television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to a con man pretending to be the world’s greatest detective in Remington Steele. Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan) and Laura (Stephanie Zimbalist) investigate some attempts at sabotage of a local news station that turn deadly when not one but two members of the news team turn up dead. Taking place nearly entirely at the news station, the news team is fun mix of the leggy anchor (Tracy Scoggins), hardened newsman (J.D. Cannon), fearless sports anchor (Maggie Roswell), cowardly reporter (John Reilly), crazy weatherman (Macon McCalman), and Jenny O’Hara the show’s fact checker who smells something fishy about Remington Steele’s official biography.

Scooby-Doo! - That's Snow Ghost television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. A trip to the nearly abandoned Wolf’s End Lodge ski resort almost immediately becomes a case for Mystery, Inc. when they discover the existence of a Snow Ghost haunting the area. The Tibetan hermit Fu Lan Chi tells the gang the history of the creature. It’s an odd sequence, both because the find the man living in a cave in the wilderness and because at the end of the episode he isn’t involved at all in the current hauntings making him a rare red herring for the series.
