I never skip it if and when it comes up. With a good edit, this could have been a 4. But the story is all over the place and the production is just blah.matthewweflenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540521459703556959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-41067845094990089792010-08-04T12:56:05.135-05:002010-08-04T12:56:05.135-05:00I do seriously love this episode, which might be r...I do seriously love this episode, which might be related to Frank Gorshin who I absolutely adore. He pops up on random shows on MeTV all the time (and sometimes old commercials that they show for added nostalgia value) and he is always totally awesome.
