Series: M*A*S*H
Episode: s2e17 For Want of a Boot
Who's Birthday: Major Frank Burns

Plot:
Hawkeye starts a chain reaction of inter-Army bartering as he wheels and deals for a new pair of boots.

My Thoughts:
M*A*S*H... Always a fun series... and one I haven't watched any episodes in quite a while. In this episode the birthday storyline is really just a side thing as Hawkeye must promise to throw Frank Burns a birthday party to get a favor from Margaret in order to get the boots he needs. A god episode with several laughs.

Series: M*A*S*H
Episode: s5e14 The Most Unforgettable Characters
Who's Birthday: Major Frank Burns

Plot:
While Radar enrolls in a writing school, Hawkeye and B.J. decide to make Frank happy on his birthday by pretending to be fighting with each other.

My Thoughts:
Another good episode that had several laughs in it. The birthday storyline was definitely more funny then the writing school stuff. It was kinda fun seeing Hawkeye and B.J. going at each other for a change... even if it all was (well mostly) acting to entertain Frank.

Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Episode: s2e13 Surprise
Who's Birthday: Buffy

Plot:
Drusilla reassembles the Judge, an unstoppable demon; Buffy and Angel consummate their relationship.

My Thoughts:
The first Birthday episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a 2-part episode. And I think it is safe to say my favorite of the Buffy's Birthday episodes. What with it happening in season 2 (one of my favorite seasons of the series)... at the very beginning of what is probably my favorite Buffy storyline (Evil Angel). Naturally since it is a 2-part episode... there was no way I could only watch the first half... so I ended up watching both episodes.

Series: Lost
Episode: s1e18 Numbers
Who's Birthday: Claire

Plot:
Michael begins building a new raft. He tells Jack that the chances of them being found while they're on the raft will be increased if they can send out a distress signal. With the transceiver needing new batteries, Hurley remembers Sayid mentioning that the Frenchwoman had batteries. He suggests that they try and find her. While searching for Rousseau's lair, Hurley discovers that the island may be linked to a secret from his own past.

My Thoughts:
OK... this one may be a little of a stretch as the whole birthday storyline is one short scene where Claire tells Locke that it is her birthday as they work on a cradle for Claire's baby. But what can I say?... I recently started to watch this series and it has me so hooked I haven't been able to pull myself away from it to work on this marathon. At this rate I may not make my goal.

Series: I Love Lucy
Episode: s6e13 Lucy and Superman
Who's Birthday: Little Ricky

Plot:
Lucy promises Little Ricky that Superman (George Reeves) will be at his birthday party, but when it looks like he can't make it, she tries to fill the bill herself.

My Thoughts:
This has always been one of my favorite episodes of I Love Lucy. I guess this is because I also always been a fan of Adventures of Superman. It really is a hilarious episode. My favorite line in this episode is the very last in the episode...

Ricky: In all the 15 years we been married this is the craziest stunt you ever pulled!
Superman: Wait a minute, you been married to her for 15 years?
Ricky: Yeah, 15 years!
Superman: And they call me Superman!



As many times as I have seen this episode over the years—and there has been MANY times—I still can't help but to laugh out loud on that scene. As well as many other scenes for that matter. A great episode! But not only is that line funny... the expressing that comes over Lucy's face when he says it is just plain priceless. An all-around hilarious episode!

Series: Smallville
Episode: s4e8 Spell
Who's Birthday: Chloe

Plot:
As Clark and Lois arrange a surprise 18th birthday party for Chloe, Lana receives a mysterious book that belonged to her French ancestor Isabel, who was burned as a witch in the 1600's. Through the book, Isabelle possesses Lana's body and she resurrects two other witches in the bodies of Chloe and Lois. The trio set about tracking down the Kryptonian Stones, spelling trouble for Jason, Lex and Clark

My Thoughts:
Definitely not the best episode out there... but I enjoyed it some. Of course the girls looked great in this one. But I never did care too much for the Isobel storyline in Smallville.

Series: Smallville
Episode: s8e17 Hex
Who's Birthday: Chloe

Plot:
The magician ZANTANNA makes wishes come true...but every wish has consequences. When Chloe wishes she can have an uncomplicated lide like Lois does, she becomes Lois. And Clark? He just wants to be normal.

My Thoughts:
This episode is better then I remember it being. It all starts with a birthday wish Chloe makes... in front of Zatana in her first appearance in Smallville. I have seen the whole switched bodies storyline many times before... so nothing really original here. But it is worth a watch. I did however like the way it ended... with Chloe discovering what she really wants and with the help of Oliver Queen starting up the Watchtower.

Series: Xena: Warrior Princess
Episode: s4e19 Takes One to Know One
Who's Birthday: Gabrielle

Plot:
Family and friends gather for Gabrielle's surprise birthday party only to become suspects in a murder investigation instead when a bounty hunter looking to take Xena in, is murdered. Now Discord, the newly appointed goddess of retribution, has given Xena until sunrise to find the killer or everyone she loves will be taken to the underworld.

My Thoughts:
The birthday storyline in this one is no more then a reason to get everyone together. It isn't the best episode I ever seen... but it is entertaining enough to keep your interest. Though it is one of the episodes that contains a bit of that silly comedy you see in many episodes.

Well... I am pretty much at the halfway point to my goal... and today is already the 23rd! I don't think I will make my goal this time around! No... I am not giving up... but realistically speaking... at this rate I don't see it happening.

Series: Batman Beyond
Episode: s3e5 Out of the Past
Who's Birthday: Bruce Wayne

Plot:
Bruce Wayne's former love Talia al Ghul returns, to offer Bruce the chance to be eternally young. But this gift comes with a price Bruce has no intention of paying at all: the resurrection of Ra's al Ghul, Talia's father and one of Bruce's most dangerous enemies.

My Thoughts:
A good episode... I enjoyed it quite a bit. I kinda got a kick out of Terry taking Bruce to "Batman: The Musical". Don't he know  Bruce at all? This episode is also one of the few (at least that I remember) that we see Terry fight without the Batman costume on. Though it has been a while since I watched this series.

Title: Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Who's Birthday: Sabrina

Plot:
It's her 16th birthday, and Sabrina (MELISSA JOAN HART) is feeling a little strange. She just transferred to a new school, moved in with her two otherworldly aunts, and nothing is quite what it seems. Things can only get more complicated when Sabrina learns that she's a real witch. Now, she's got to make friends, memorize spells, and find a way to get a date for the school dance. It'll take a little hocus-pocus and a whole lot of adventure before Sabrina learns to control her powers and find true love.

My Thoughts:
This is the TV Movie that they did before it went to a series. While some of the cast is the same such as Melissa Joan Hart as Sabrina... the cast for both aunts was different. This movie also has a very young Ryan Reynolds. An actor that has grown on me as I am now a fan of his. It is a pretty good movie... I enjoyed it though I did miss the cast that played the aunts in the TV Series. Unfortunately this DVD release has no extras what so ever. Not even any trailers. When you pop the movie in it goes straight to the menu with only 2 options... Play and Scene Selection.

Series: The Stockard Channing Show
Episode: s1e5 Life Begins at 30
Who's Birthday: Susan

Plot:
Susan has a hard time with the idea of turning 30.

My Thoughts:
This is a show that a good friend of mine gave to me. One I never seen before he gave it to me. But one I enjoyed much more then I thought I would. The set has 2 complete short lived sitcoms that Stockard Channing starred in. First there is Just Friends from 1979 and then there is The Stockard Channing Show from 1980. Both of which I enjoyed a lot. This birthday episode was a lot of fun. had several laugh out loud moments. It was hilarious seeing Susan (Stockard Channing) on rollerskates. Plus her short shorts didn't hurt any either.

Series: Charmed
Episode: s1e4 Dead Man Dating
Who's Birthday: Prue & Mark (The Ghost)

Plot:
Prue tries to avoid a birthday celebration as Piper befriends and saves the restless soul of a ghost who was murdered by a gang leader. The sisters save his soul and learn a valuable life lesson.

My Thoughts:
One of my favorite episodes of the series... I especially liked it since it was a big Piper episode. And Piper has always been my favorite of the sisters. I also liked the way they put some Chinese folk lore into the story line for this one. Not only do we have Pru's birthday in this episode... but also the ghost's birthday is talked of in the beginning of the episode. The side story of Phoebe trying to get some cash for Prue's present is a lot of fun too.
