yeah, i thought the alien characters were pretty lame. why do writers/producers/directors of that era always make aliens seem like completely uptight, right wing pieces of lumber? even in the old 50's and 60's sci-fi movies, it's the same thing. kinda cracks me up.

i found this tale to be somewhat endearing. i felt bad for the lonesome wife. the show drew on my emotions and made contact, which is what works for me. it was a bit on the corny side, but it lured me in just enough to keep me listening. i give it a solid 4.0 rating.

just curious, anyone here fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K)? it was probably one of the funniest, most original sci-fi programs to air. it's out in collectors format on DVD (usually 4 or 5 episodes per volume), and i have two of them now. unbelievably fun!

if you're not familiar with MST3K, it's a program where three cornball characters are forced to view really bad movies and they just sit there and make fun of the film. some of the stuff they say is just pure comic genius.

anyhow... back to it. thanks for the pitch Kurt, i enjoyed this tale quite a bit!
