The job of a season premiere is to establish new story arcs for the season and continue any that were established in the previous season’s finale. This premiere definitely did a great job. The previous season ended in April 1986, with Helen and Dale’s personal and professional relationship uncertain, Geoff leaving the network and burning the bridges he spent over
Read moreThe job of a season finale is to wrap up the season’s story arcs and establish new ones for the next season (if there is one).

Wayne, Pete, Chaya, and Matty – The episode kicks off with a staff meeting where Pete is given the “inaugural Sweeney Todd award” (a trophy with a knife taped to
Read moreAs mentioned in the first blog post in this series, I’ll be writing analysis content on all 60+ Disney animated feature films and their film making eras.

Read moreThis episode was all about a Battle of the Sexes, and not just the famous tennis match. The episode kicks off with Joyce and Doug being driven through Las Vegas in a limo as they are there to sell the international rights of Minx, as well as to promote Minx via Joyce participating on a panel, Meet the New Woman,
