Charles in Charge (1984)
Possible Spin-off Episodes
I loved watching this show back when it first aired, and I loved watching it recently on DVD.
I noticed that as the show came to an end, that 3 episode in particular seemed as attempted spin-off pilots for some of the cast.
Season 5 Episode 19 "Lost Resort" Seemed like a pilot for a Willie Aames spin-off series.
Season 5 Episode 23 "Almost Family" Seemed like an Ellen Travolta spin-off attempt.
And Season 5 Episode 25 "Fair Exchange" looked like a Nicole Eggert spin-off pilot.
Is it just me, or did these really do look like Pilot Episodes for shows that never came to be? All 3 were directed by Scott Baio, so they might of just been attempts by him to get into the director's chair, or it might of been in his contract and the producers let him do whatever he wanted. But they seemed like spin-offs to me. Of course, they never came to be. Of the 3 the only one I think would of had a chance at a half season is Fair Exchange, but, the acting was terrible in it. This shows how worse the other two were. All in all, they were interesting concepts, maybe with a re-format they might of gotten picked up.
War of the Worlds (1988)
Season 2 on DVD?
Does anyone know when Season 2 is coming out on DVD? I already have season 1, but I haven't seen anywhere if they are even considering Season 2 to come out. I loved the movie, not the new one. And when this series came out on TV I was excited and loved it, I knew that the acting left a lot to be desired, but I liked the story and the fact that it was a continuation of the film from the 50's. When Season 2 came out I was disappointed that they killed of Norton and Ironside (I think that was his name), been a while since I've seen Season 1. But after a while, I got into Season 2. I am glad that the studio took the time to at least give the show a final episode. Kinda cheesy, but an official ending non the less.
