Today's WGN episodes - "One Touch of Midas" and "Samantha, the Bard"

[Rezny@gmail.com]

The first episode,"One Touch of Midas"was good,and in the next-to-last scene when Larry walked out of Darrin's office,in a huff ,and Darrin's(Dick York)smile was priceless.And the ending was great.However,"Samantha ,the Bard",although amusing in spots,was kind of a letdown,and unusual at first,because Darrin acted glad to see Endora.Usually,he's sarcastic towards her. It was also unusual when Endora ,before popping out ,said ,when the first potion she gave Samantha did NOT work,she said "We ought to sue him (Dr.Bombay)for malpractice!"

And also,when Samantha started talking in rhyme,it was ,after a while,a "little annoying"as Darrin said,and everybody(Darrin,Endora,Larry,Mrs.Durfey,and Mr.Durfey,even Samantha herself)was annoyed at Samantha talking in rhyme .Unlike the one that aired before it on WGN today,"Samantha ,the Bard"was NOT very funny,and as I said,kind of a letdown.Scores:"One touch of Midas"-8/10 very good "Samantha the Bard"-5 /10 mediocre.
