Based on the cult-favorite "giant worm" film of the same name, the weekly, hour-long Tremors: The Series found Michael Gross repeating his screen role as neurotic worm-buster Burt Gummer. The series took place in the ironically yclept community of Perfection Valley, NV, where all manner of huge and slimy creatures have wrought havoc from beneath the ground. In the tradition of Roswell, NM, Perfection Valley has profited mightily from its disastrous past experiences with such slithery species as the Graboids, the Shriekers, and the AssBlasters, with ex-hippie Nancy Sterngood (Marcia Strassman) growing wealthy by selling ceramic statues of the aforementioned creatures over the Internet, and hot rodder-cum-pilot Tyler Reed (Victor Browne) managing the lucrative "Desert Jack's Graboid Tours." Also on the premises was Department of the Interior agent W.D. Twitchell (Dean Norris), whose job it was to put up bureaucratic barriers against killing off the various and sundry super-worms because of their "endangered species" status. Meanwhile, Burt Gummer, often working in concert with grocer Jodi Chang (Lela Lee) and rancher Rosalita Sanchez (Gladys Jimenez), did his best to protect Perfection Valley from any and all future creepy-crawly invaders -- and when the worms came out anyway (as they always did), Burt utilized a veritable arsenal of jerry-built weaponry to thwart the yucky scourges. Tremors: The Series debuted over cable's Sci-Fi Channel (surprise, surprise!) on March 28, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

When he rescues two Ilanic scientists, D'Argo (Anthony Simcoe) causes dissension in the ranks of Moya's crew. Worse still, a female lifeform from the Ilanic shuttle causes Crichton (Ben Browder) to behave in a dangerous and irrational manner. Experiencing horrific flash images of the future, Crichton must endure this hellish mental glitch over and over and over again -- perhaps for all time. The fifth episode of Farscape to be filmed, "Back and Back and Back to the Future" was the third episode shown, making its broadcast debut on April 2, 1999. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Face (Dirk Benedict) opens his mail to find the fraternity pin that he gave to Leslie Bektall (Markie Post), the woman who dropped out of his life fifteen years ago. This leads the A-Team to Ecuador, where Leslie is now a nun, working at an orphanage. Though she nervously insists that there's no trouble brewing, Leslie, the other nuns and the orphans are being held captive by gangsters led by the wounded Salvador (Ismael "East" Carlo). In their efforts to save the good people from the bad people, the Team members disguise themselves as whisky salesmen--and later as (you guessed it!) nuns. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Hannibal's perennial nemesis Colonel Lynch (William Lucking) is in a festive mood when he finally succeeds in capturing the A-Team. But Lynch's exultation is short-lived: He is ordered to release the team by his superiors, who want Hannibal (George Peppard) and company to head to Borneo, there to rescue kidnapped army general Ludlam (Warren Kemmerling) and his daughter Kathy (Amy Steel). The assignment proves most difficult for B.A. (Mr. T) who once cold-cocked the General back in Vietnam. Future 24 and The Unit star Dennis Haysbert appears in a minor role. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Robin's Nest is turned over to a Hollywood production crew as a location for a movie starring Magnum's favorite actress Olivia Ross (Dana Wynter) and her perennial costar Jack Martin (Larry Pennell). So entranced is Magnum (Tom Welleck) by the glamorous Olivia that he is willing to endure multiple humiliations as Martin's stunt double. But he hadn't counted on risking his life to solve the mystery behind a "prop" gun which is loaded with real bullets--and which Olivia empties on the hapless Martin! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Mercedes McCambridge guest stars as blind, elderly Agatha Kimble, longtime friend of Thomas Magnum (Tom Selleck). Hired by Agatha to pay off the blackmailer who is victimizing her niece (and Magnum's former girlfriend) Amy Crane (Andrea Marcovicci), Magnum quickly becomes embroiled in a murder scheme. No sooner has this fact sunk in than Magnum realizes that there is far, far more to the case than anyone could have imagined. Tom Selleck and guest star Ted Danson, here cast as adversaries, would later reteam in the hit movie comedies Three Men and a Baby and Three Men and a Little Lady. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

It's hate at first sight when Magnum (Tom Selleck) is hired to protect arrogant prima ballerina Kendall Chase (Andrea Marcovicci), who has been receiving death threats. Despite their mutual animosity, Magnum and Kendall ultimately fall for each other--a plot development almost as unexpected as the revelation that T.C. (Roger E. Mosley) is a lifelong ballet fan! Meanwhile, Rick (Larry Manetti) embarks on an investigation that seems to be separate from the main plotline...but isn't. Cast as Kendll Chase's mentor-manager, guest star Signe Hassso essayed virtually the same role in the earlier and quite similar Starsky and Hutch episode "A Body Worth Guarding". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Magnum's curiosity is aroused when his friends Sol and Lena Greenberg (Robert Ellenstein, Hanna Herteledy) permanently close down their haberdashery after announcing that they were merely planning a short vacation. Investigating, Magnum (Tom Selleck) is on hand when Sol apparently suffers a heart attack and is whisked off in an ambulance. It soon becomes obvious that the old man had been kidnapped--and if what Lena says can be believed, his captors are a pair of neo-Nazis determined to wreak vengeance against a top-secret Israeli "special ops" organization. Among the more suspicious characters in this episode is Dr. Bernard Kessler, played by Glenn Cannon before he became established on the series in the semi-regular role of Doc Ibold. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
