(Note that these are not in order of episodes shown except for the first two. 
Also note that the season breaks may be incorrect and the descriptions may be
inaccurate especially in the later episodes, please send me email if you have
corrections, additions or comments.  A couple of the shows do not have any
description, and some of the descriptions are very short and do not tell
everything about the episode, just what I remember.  I have not seen many of
the episodes more than once and so they are either very foggy in my memory or
forgotten)
