Both Frightening, Yet Some Unanswered Questions
6 June 2014
James Farentino loves his wife, Michelle Lee (I think I had a crush on her some 100 years ago). An elderly woman, Aunt Ada, has been living with the youngish, but she acts weirdly, making Farentino nervous. He can't put his finger on it, but he knows this old lady isn't what she appears to be. For one thing, while he is around, she will disappear from one place and reappear in another. She also isn't too subtle about showing her dislike for him. A relationship is building between the two women. The husband visits a graveyard and there is Aunt Ada's grave. Who is this woman. The weird thing is that he never lets anyone but the old woman know what he has found. There are some terrifying encounters, but being the good 1970'd husband, doesn't give his wife the facts. Eventually, the old crone's plans are about to come to fruition. Watch and see.

"With Apologies to Mr. Hyde," starring Batman's Adam West isn't worth the effort. It is cute, quick, and funny, but not very imaginative.

Arte Johnson performs quite well in "The Flip Side of Satan." He is a disc jockey named J. J. whose past transgressions have seemingly driven to a tiny radio station with a weird play list and little opportunity. Johnson is also paying the price for his fooling around with the wife of a friend. She apparently has killed herself, driven to it by the indifferent record spinner. Things come to a head when one of the LP's he is playing begins to name a series of Satanic figures. He just doesn't get the fact that he is paying a price for his lack of control and insatiable libido. Johnson does a really nice job here and the episode works quite well.
