Typical 1970's over-dramatic acting.

"Mediocre"

By mylibby523, May 08, 2007 Report Abuse

A decent storyline, but the acting in this episode (if that's what you call it) is almost laughable. Carol Anne Seflinger (Mellie) and Greg Mabrey (Jackie) deliver their lines like a gun is pointed at their heads. And, Jack McCulloch (Vinnie) looks and acts like a fat Fonzie wannabe. I especially love it when Captain Marvel stops Vinnie and his hoods with the story about the dragon, then stands on top of the warehouse like some Clint Eastwood poser as they're running away. As a kid, I thought this episode was the coolest one, but now, it's just silly, right down to when Jackie says to Billy and Mentor, "So long, good dudes!"moreless

- There's a neat scene where Billy and Mentor are arguing over what to watch on TV. Billy turns into Capt. Marvel and says, "We're watching a movie". I guess that pretty much sums it up... Edit
