Remington Steele - Hearts of Steele television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the 80s detective show Remington Steele. After attempts on his life, the city’s most successful divorce attorney (Mark Hutter) hires Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan) to find the would-be killer. Going undercover as a divorcing couple allows Laura (Stephanie Zimbalist) to get close to a group of recently-divorced women who all lost in court to her client, and hold grudges. Despite multiple attempts on the lawyer’s life, none of the women fit all scenarios. Eventually, Steele’s vast knowledge of film hypothesizes Murder on the Orient Express as a reasonable solution to the entire affair. However, as Laura susses out halfway through Steele accusing the gathered suspects, the clue to the mystery doesn’t lie in a Hercule Poirot mystery but that of an even more famous detective.

Silk Stalkings - The Brotherhood television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the unsolved crimes of passion in the wealthy playground of Palm Beach, Florida. Chris (Rob Estes) and Rita (Mitzi Kapture) head back to college to investigate the murder of a coed (Katrina Clayton) who had been beaten, drugged, raped, and killed before her body is found dumped by the side of the road. While the initial evidence, including an eye-witness, seems to point to the girl’s boyfriend (Bojesse Christopher) everything seems a bit too neat for our detectives who dig into the fraternity of their suspect (and eye-witness) and discover something far more sinister than just the death of one coed.

Scooby-Doo! - Mine Your Own Business 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 wrong turn leads Mystery, Inc. to the nearly deserted Gold City where locals and guests have been scared off by the Miner Forty-Niner, the ghost of an old prospector still searching for gold. It turns out the Miner is neither a ghost nor looking for gold, but oil hidden below the town. The Miner is one of the more forgettable monsters from the show’s run, although the episode does have some moments such as Scooby-Doo (Don Messick) and Shaggy (Casey Kasem) faking a train in the mine as part of one of the gang’s least complicated traps to catch a ghost.
