I'm glad I videotaped it, because I played parts of it over and over, and still laughed out loud. I know it may not be all that original of an idea, and some of the jokes may have been made before, but it was a great satire of the monster movies, and it was funny! Personally, I liked the first episode with opa? oompa?, too. So there. And I liked the one about the BMOC and the meteor. The problem with some of you is you expect too much. Would you rather watch "Amazing Stories" or something like "Hollywood Beat," "The Insiders," "Stir Crazy," or "Mr. Belvedere?" Or maybe we could bring back "The Dukes of Hazzard?" (I suppose this should be on net.flame, but after all, I am talking about TV and the people who watch it. I also liked the "Alfred Hitchcock" episode last night. I'm sure all of you had the ending figured out way before I did, (I knew the old guy would die and not be able to dig her up; I just thought he'd have a heart attack while digging or on the way out of the prison.) I thought their ending was better than mine. As for being opposite "Murder, She Wrote," I like the show, I like Angela Lansbury, but the show is OK! I love solving the crime along with Jessica, but it's just not the same as it was in 1975-76 solving the crime with Ellery Queen. R.I.P. Ellery.'
