I'll give it a high score because of the baseball players used. That will always make it a notable episode.
I actually remember watching this episode back when it aired. Gary Burghoff wanted to pitch against some of the greatest players ever. The twist on this story was actually very good, but in reviewing it again, it has a lameness to it with trying to make the revelation so tragic.
The second story with Stuart Whitman and Vera Miles wanting to go to a simpler time is really laughable. Roarke sends them to the Salem witch trials.
How about those large brick buildings? And Satanism in music with the violin. If they had told a joke, it would have been labeled as witchcraft.
"He's put a spell on them with laughter!" No one in Salem was burned for witchcraft as is stated in the show.
The only saving grace is truly Leslie Neilsen, just a year or two away from his rediscovery with Airplane, thereby launching him into The Naked Gun movies.
While I remembered the Gary Burghoff ending, I totally forgot about this one, and I enjoy the Salem Witch trials story much more than I do baseball.
