I guess every show that is on long enough ends up having a voodoo episode and this is the "WWW"'s voodoo episode. On the whole, like a zombie, its kind of dull and slow moving, not up to the quality of some of the show's better episodes as West and Gordon try to find a missing professor in Cajun country. The whole thing gets bogged down in a back story about another crazy scientist who had his bride stolen 17 or 18 years ago and now wants to get his revenge.

One nice moment in this episode has West face off against a giant zombie named Tiny John (LA Rams great Rosie Grier) who throws West around like he was a rag doll before Jim shoots him in the heart. This is one time you really get to see how short (5'8") Conrad really is!

*Spoiler/plot- TNOT Undead, 68. OUr agents step into unknown territory to unravel a revenge plot involving Bayou voodoo, zombie trances, and murder.

*Special Stars- Robert Conrad, Ross Martin, Hurd Hatfield, 'Rosey' Grier.

*Theme- Occult matters often hide other facts.

*Trivia/location/goofs- Air date 2-9-68. Takes place in New Orleans. 'Rosey' Grier ('Fearsome Foursome'=s Offensive lineman from LA Rams. Merlin Olsen was another alumni turned actor.) makes a screen appearance as a menacing voodoo traced zombie. The modern word "robots' was not around in the time of the series. Mr. Conrad's short stature/height for a leading man (5'7") was compensated for with shoe 'lifts' in his boots, casting short stunt people, and short leading ladies. In fact his show was known for needing so many short stature love-interest roles for women among females actresses, it became a staple for actresses in Hollywood.

*Emotion- I was not impressed by the 'voodoo traced zombie' scenario plot line. I thought it too unbelievable and beneath the superior story line of W3. The guest star lead villain's performance is forgettable.....many time villain roles fail to deliver enough 'gravitas' to balance with the strong leads of Conrad and Martin. This is not vintage W3, just rehashed horror tripe with an improbable twist.
