Welcome to the weekly TV thread.

I’d like to give a shout-out to mystery author Lauren James’s “Anthologized” series of posts about classic suspense anthology shows. It’s my favorite series of posts over at Media Magpies, a site born out of the ashes of The Solute, a place where writers from the Dissolve comments section compared notes about their favorite movies, TV shows, musicians, or books.

As “Accidental Star Trek Cosplay,” I sometimes joined in on The Solute’s threads. I recognize Simon DelMonte and Gin Thompson from over there. In fact, Simon was the one who mentioned to me James’s “Anthologized” series a couple of weeks ago when I asked him if he undertook an Alfred Hitchcock Presents rewatch. I knew of the existence of her series before Simon mentioned it, but I hadn’t read any of it yet.

In addition to watching a bunch of episodes of Tales from the Crypt, Murder, She Wrote co-creator Peter S. Fischer’s Darkroom, and Love, Death & Robots for the first time, I’ve been watching a few AHP and ’60s Twilight Zone episodes for the first time. (By the way, Peacock and the Roku Channel, which both carry AHP, are disappointingly missing 12 AHP episodes—including AHP’s best and most famous episode, a Hitchcock-directed adaptation of Roald Dahl’s “Lamb to the Slaughter”—due to issues with the estates of writers like Dahl.)

This year, every time I would watch an AHP episode (like “The Glass Eye,” which is terrific) or a ’60s Zone episode, I would click over to, respectively, the bare•bones e-zine, which has analyzed every AHP episode (in addition to episodes from the 1985-89 AHP revival that aired on NBC and later became a USA Network original), or Jordan Prejean and Brian Durant’s The Twilight Zone Vortex, just to see what those folks have to say about the episode I just watched.

I just found out that James reviewed every first-season AHP episode (that season was a whopping 39 episodes long) and is currently discussing the original Zone’s first season for “Anthologized,” so now I’ve added her series to the bare•bones e-zine and The Twilight Zone Vortex as a post-episode destination every time I watch a first-season AHP episode or a first-season Zone episode. I need a younger perspective on these old-ass episodes, and James’s perspective suffices.

I had no idea AHP was capable of some duds. James wrote, “I described [‘The Hidden Thing’] to my wife as ‘not only the worst episode of AHP yet, but also one of the worst episodes of anything ever.’ ” I had to see how much of a dud “The Hidden Thing”—a 1956 episode about a hypnotist who offers to help a grieving man track down the driver who killed in a hit-and-run accident his fiancée, played by Rachel Ames, whom I best remember as Nurse Audrey Hardy from both General Hospital and Port Charles—was over on Peacock.

James was right. At the end of “The Hidden Thing,” I felt like the bully at the end of De La Soul Is Dead when he said, “That’s it? That’s all? Van Damme! What happened? What happened to the pimps? What happened to the guns?”

Anyway, James’s “Anthologized” series is a well-written series, and the Original TV Score Selection of the Week is Mark Mothersbaugh and Nick Lee’s “Nothing Left” from Interior Chinatown.

I’ve got nothing left in the tank. Today’s prompt: Submit a Couch Avocados prompt, and I’ll post it in the future.
