My wife and I enjoy this episode just as much as we do any episode featuring the nutty Newsomes. My wife doesn't get all the sci-fi references but she does like the craziness on screen and the fact that the cast seems to be having fun. Leave your brain at the door and just have fun.

Obvious low budget film. Kevin Sorbo is in it for 8 minutes or so. What Hospital puts a patient bed in front of shelves holding hospital supplies? The young girl was placed in ICU but it's the same room. In spite of these flaws and some terrible acting by some of the secondary players, the story is compelling. The young actress playing the daughter is very good. The story however is compelling and will bring tears to your eyes. It challenges the oft asked question as to how God can allow personal suffering. There are no easy answers. Not an easy film to watch if you have suffered a personal loss.

I actually laugh out loud watching this tongue-in-cheek cop show. It never took itself seriously and the guest stars loved hamming it up. A long list of Silver Age screen stars and future T.V. stars kept things moving at a brisk pace. Many you'll recognize just before they became TV', most famous stars. William Shatner, Elizabeth Montgomery, and many others. It even took pot-shots at it's own formula. For example in one episode the culprit makes a dash for the stairs to escape and is admonished by Amos Burke as 'Not that old cliché" or lines like "You've been watching too many cop shows on TV." A revival was attempted in 1984 but didn't hit all the right notes. Sexist by today's standards in the way Burke treated his lady friends, but it was a product of it's time. But of course if Burke ever became serious that would take away from his duties which Burke took very seriously. They couldn't make the show today without taking away it's dated charm. Don't forget Captain Amos Burke (Gene Barry) could SING too.
