Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Enemy (1989)
Very questionable medical ethics in this episode
I agree with most reviewers that this was an excellent episode. Worth struggle in his decision about whether to donate a transfusion of ribosomes to a enemy is well constructed. However, no one seems to have pointed out the very obvious fact that the romulan in question does not want the transfusion. In fact he vehemently denies it. Get neither the doctor nor the captain even acknowledge that he has any choice in the matter. Even in the 20th century those ethics would have been rejected. How is it no one pointed this simple fact out anywhere during the episode?
The Dick Van Dyke Show: Never Name a Duck (1962)
Great episode with lots of Richie
One of the very few episodes in which Richie gets more than one or two lines. This was a great episode from many standpoints. Rob and Laura taught Richie a valuable lesson which many parents have faced over the years. Richie acted like every kid ever. This sort of episode is why sitcoms in the early '60s were so good. They didn't have to be weird or stupid. They just took everyday situations and made them enjoyable.
