Just More and More Bizarre
richardfuller-9297330 November 2020
The concept of this show just keeps getting stranger and stranger, for its nine episodes, or however many. So now we have Joyce Dewitt as an heiress who is attempted to be kidnapped by her family's former assistant (Isabel Sanford), gardner (Mako) and chauffer (James Gregory). Amazingly, once again, none of these people show any chemistry together. Vic Tayback and Jamie Farr are the detectives out to protect DeWitt, Bernie Kopell (from Love Boat!) is in love with her, and an amazingly wasted Tony Danza is a reporter after her story, whatever that may be. Most amusing bit would have to be DeWitt channeling her Three's Company Janet Wood antics when she is trying to awaken and move out of those two chairs. You expect John Ritter and Susanne Somers to show up. Isabel Sanford with a gun. That was rich. We get indications here of an elevator to 'the second floor' and a mention of 'the stairs' and all I can think is how impractical such a setup would be. I've actually meant to point out the sliding doors in various locations, like Star Trek, and how that would really be a safety hazard if there was a malfunction. Trapped because the door wouldn't slide open. Even with the disco, swimming pool, gym and an upstairs on the train, it doesn't seem like there could be fifty passengers on this thing at a time. Where would they all go?
