Resident Alien: Alien Dinner Party (2022)
Smart convergence of multiple story lines
I enjoy most episodes but this one had quality moments seen in the best of Seinfeld combined with friends. I really enjoy the fast pace of the character interactions. Even the low brow humor behind closed doors was eye rolling hilarious. The writers wrote a classic episode script that enabled the characters to produce lines that will withstand the test of time. Well played, Harry, well played!
Without a Trace: Gung-Ho (2004)
Error/goof
I was unable to post this as a "goof." But the military Captain was unaware the the pronunciation of Ramstein is NOT Ramsteen BUT Ramstein as in a beer stein. All military personnel ever in Germany were aware of this pronunciation. Not a big thing but interesting.
Resident Alien: Family Day (2022)
Harry taking on father role made my day
The parts of this episode with Harry playing the role of father were very funny! Nice to get more back story on the sheriff, finally. Hopefully future episodes are equally funny!
Resident Alien: Welcome Aliens (2021)
Get with the times
This show has more humerus moments in one episode than most comedies have in a season. It is inclusive of more races, religions and ethnicities than most 60's and 70's comedies had in their entire multi year runs. I think these unfamiliar perspectives pose anxiety and concern for viewers unaccustomed to being taken out of their comfort zones. My advice is to suspend your preconceived views and check your disbeliefs at the door and just enjoy the series. I really feel this series has the potential to become a classic that will withstand the test of time. For those who are unable or unwilling to enjoy the show simply for what it is, well to steal a quote from the movie Stripes, "lighten up Francis."
Resident Alien: Sexy Beast (2021)
Another great episode
Nothing better than an alien with attitude and jealous at the same time
Resident Alien: Love Language (2021)
Best of all worlds (no pun intended)
As funny as King of Queens dead pan humor, mix in interconnected and changing storylines as good as Knots Landing combined with excellent cultural insight ala Cold Pursuit movie. I rarely say and really mean it but watching this show after some character development has had me literally laughing out loud for the first time in months. This show is as good as 2 shots of Phizer to cure the COVID blues!! Hope future episodes keep pace with ones already watched.
