I wrote a review of Bourbon Street Beat and an episode from the series tonight and decided to count up all the reviews I'd written in 2007. Only 14. Not much compared to all the reviewing I did in 2005 when I first arrived at TV.com. I might have to change that but we'll see. In other news, Christmas came and went. I celebrated Christmas Eve by watching an episode of The Untouchables entitled The Night They Shot Santa Claus. If you're curious about the storyline of the episode the title pretty much says it all. And, oh yes, the villain gets away scot free at the end. Even Eliot Ness couldn't gain a conviction on the killer of Santa Claus.

In other news, I picked up another guide, The Alaskans. It was yet another Western from the Warner Brothers factory that gave us the likes of Maverick and Cheyenne. Except that The Alaskans only lasted one season and as close as it ever got to Maverick or Cheyenne in terms of quality was the fact that it used recycled scripts from those two shows. They were cheap at Warners in those days. The series is also notable for being star Roger Moore's least favorite out of all the American and British TV series' that he appeared in. Considering that Moore starred in some clunkers that's saying something. Nonetheless, I've never viewed an episode and for now it seems that none of the bootleggers have any copies so I'll have to go with other sources in editing the guide.

Hang in there, everybody, and I'll talk to you after New Year's. I hope.
