When I was in elementary school I always made fun of Power Rangers without having actually seen an episode. Now it's on Netflix and my kids are into it and I have to admit it's pretty lame.

Never saw this episode before.

TV show idea: "Mugging with the Stars" Episode 1: "Me and my boy just took your wallet, your watch, and your keys. But I see you still got your fancy iPhone. Probably thinking you're going to call the cops? I got a better idea. Why don't you say what's up to my friend (removes ski mask)... GEORGE LOPEZ." Episode 2: "Don't you try to be a hero, boy. I know you probably think you vs. me, 1-on-1, it's a fair fight, but why don't you take a look right across the street. You see, I got backup. That's right, that man on the corner, ready to roll up, is... GEORGE LOPEZ." Episode 3: "I know this seems like a bad dream, but you better realize real quick that it is real and serious as a heart attack or you might not get to walk away. Now everybody get down. This is not a drill, this is not a bad dream, and no, it's not a sitcom either, even though you might recognize my boy here (removes rubber Richard Nixon mask) as the eponymous star of ABC's "GEORGE LOPEZ".

The most terrifying TV moment of my generation

In the series finale of Curious George, I see the Man in the Yellow Hat, as always, walking into a room he has left George alone in, and finding total, wanton destruction, and the mock-innocent face of the monkey-devil. The last thread of patience tears within him, and in a slow-motion pan, he sprints across the room, catches George by the tail, and, as we hear Princess Turandot's voice soar to the climax of Diecimila anni al nostro Imperatore, George closes his eyes, holds his arms wide in an unmissable specter of Calvary and surrenders as the man swings him with full force through the air. He takes on a look of perfect, beatific peace as his skull explodes against the edge of a knocked-over bureau.
