Thumbs up Hitchikers

Did anyone like this one? I thought it was pretty good. There are a lot of suspense in these contraversal episodes. I just thought it was kinda of dumb they were not able to get a cab. But that's unreality for you.

Thumbs up

I surprisingly liked all of the so-called controversial episodes. I thought this one was very suspenseful considering we all knew that Arnold and Kimberly would be saved. These shows were alot of fun and the life lessons probably saved some lives...glad I taped a few of the shows

It's been a long time since I've seen that ep, so I can't answer that.

Hey gbscott1954, this may sound like an odd question, but do you ever go to the chit-chat board?

Good topic Curtis! Unfortunately, I missed this ep during the marathon, but as I recall from it's first run, it's one of the best darn eps of DS- it teaches ya a lot.

LOL!! I watched it again last night and you're right. Kimberly says, "It was so stoopid of me." It's cute how she said it.

I just watched this episode, It was quite good although there weren't many laughs, I thought Dana and Gary acted really well in it and that man Bill was just plain scary!

I knew that Bill was trouble from the start. Like, when they first went in the car, I was like , yup I bet a million bucks he's gonna hit on Kimberly. What a weirdo!

Whoa! I just played it a couple of minutes ago and you are right!! God bless TV Land marathons for playing it. It was an awesome 2-parter. I noticed that the 'special' DS episodes are usually surprisingly good. The acting and writing were superb so you can't go wrong. Bill was a definite nutcase...

Wasn't that weird porcupine-ish piece of art in Bill's apartment featured in David's apartment in The Boyfriend? It was only a 2 to 3 episode gap between that and The Hitchhikers but it was still really interesting IMO.

Take care,
Tanya.
