Amazing stuff for a 6-year-old!

First, I want to mention that "Batman" had replaced "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" on Wednesdays, and "Shindig!" on Thursdays.

Now to the episode at hand.

I was affected by what I saw, especially Molly's demise. For me, it was the series at its best; there was some emotional heart there. For the sort of show, I know this sounds goofy, but it was a fine episode to watch.

And I personally think that, had the show retained the tone of this episode as well as "Hi Diddle Riddle," it might have lasted longer. Oh, and Molly was not the only person to die in the show. Two gunmen from the Zelda episode shoot each other, and Mr. Freeze kills someone in the first episode as well. After that, there are no more deaths on the series.

At any rate, this episode remains a memorable piece of broadcasting history! Very well done!
