HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR SERIES

company, and they decided to delve into the television market

In this first episode we have a man who appears to be a sound
editor for movies who lives in a house that used to belong to a
witch!! How does he know this, you ask? Because in a flurry of
an electrical storm, she suddenly shows up at his place!!
There is some nudity in this! Probably allowed because this was
a television show from Britain!! B+
EPISODE # 2: THE THIRTEENTH REUNION(Sept. 20, 1980):
A reporter is given an assignment to cover "Think Thin",
a weight loss company!! Seems that there's more to this

that made this dude rich, it also gave another one of them a statue

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I love this show so much. It's so intelligent
and unlike anything you've seen before. You've
seen cop shows, you've seen crime shows, but
you've never seen a show where the bones are
the key to solving the mystery. With an array of
crimes, pretty much all involving murder, but you
can't be surprised, how can they solve crimes with
bones if nobody's dead? There are many different
main plots, going throughout the entire season.
There's Gormagon, The Gravedigger, Pelant and
many others. With gripping stories, love, loss and
babies, Bones has everything you could ever want.
Overall, I give this show a 9 out of 10. - Taylor Kingston
