Locke & Key - Welcome to Matheson television review

Adapted from the comic of the same name, the opening episode of Locke & Key introduces us to the Locke family who relocates to Matheson, Massachusetts. Following the murder of her husband Randall (Bill Heck), Nina (Darby Stanchfield) takes the kids to the family’s ancestral home known as Keyhouse Manor. After a quick tour from their uncle (Aaron Ashmore), Tyler (Connor Jessup), Kinsey (Emilia Jones), and Bode (Jackson Robert Scott), settle into their new home. Bode is the first to recognize that there is something unusual with the house, first in the form of an Echo (Laysla De Oliveira) speaking to him from a well and later in finding magical keys around the house (each which holds a different power).

Charlie's Angels - I Will Be Remembered comic 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. Ida Lupino guest-stars as an aging actress on the eve of a comeback who is being frightened by staged scenes from her old movies brought to life in attempts to drive her off the film for good. Sabrina (Kate Jackson) takes the role of the actress’ new secretary while Jill (Farrah Fawcett) does some snooping as a reporter and Kelly (Jaclyn Smith), with the help of an odd couple of agents, gets a bit part on the movie allowing her to stick around the set.

Scooby-Doo! - A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. Mystery, Inc. takes a trip to Franken Castle, stopping at a fortune teller (June Foray) on the way who advises them to turn back. Ignoring the warning, the gang travels to the castle where they encounter a trio of monsters including Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, and a Wolfman. Clues uncovered over the course of the episode eventually lead to treasure hidden in the castle (and motive for someone to scare off anyone else that comes looking).

Psych 2: Lassie Come Home review

The follow-up to Psych: The Movie brings all the characters back to Santa Barbera to help the injured Carlton Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) recuperating, after being shot, in a luxurious hospital where odd things keep happening. It’s good to see Omundson back as he was only able to manage a cameo in Psych: The Movie while recovering from a stroke. The script writes in a stroke as part of his character’s recovery, and even if this Lassiter is more mellow than usual (at least one the Lassiter abrasiveness scale), his addition helps make Psych 2: Lassie Come Home feel like a more complete experience.

Scooby-Doo! - Bedlam in the Big Top TV review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. A run-in with two performers fleeing a circus leads Mystery, Inc. to investigate the mysterious events under the big top where a Ghost Clown (Barry Richards) has been chasing away all of the entertainers. There’s less haunting than usual, instead the Ghost Clown hypnotizes various characters into putting themselves in danger while sitting back to enjoy the show. Because so much of the episode is taken up by various members of the gang being hypnotized, there are also less clues to be discovered as the motives for the Ghost Clown turn out to be exactly as they appear.
