The conclusion of this two-parter did not satisify me. Sure, I like it alot, but there was something missing to the show. In the next few paragraphs, I will attempt to discover what was missing.
The mystery was wrapped up in the first fifteen minutes, really. Sure, we still had the money to find, but I was losing intrest at that point. I really liked the climax, as Mac the plumber drugged the parents, tied up the kids, and left it up to Lester to save the day.
Lester was a joy in this show. I don't know why; in fact, this whole show really surprised me and sort of annoyed me. Lester was a little like Wooton, except in the fact that he was intentionally funny. Whenever Wooton trys to be funny I end up going to sleep, but Lester ended up being an unique chararcter and that's what made him, and possibly the show, for me.
Wow, this review is really not coming along properly! Oh well, I'll attempt to review further...
The music in the show was very good, adding tention to the tense points. John Campbell did a very good job, as he always does.
The writing of this show must of been very hard. I don't know why; it just seemed like it had lots to it. A clever job, John Fornof!
I felt that a few loose ends were left. I don't which loose ends, though.
Okay, I've got a lot to see about the lesson in this show. It didn't bowl me over. In fact, the lesson wasn't highlighted at the end by any of the Odyssey characters. The lesson seemed a little similar to Called On In Class, except for the fact that the lesson wasn't very strong at all, except in the middle of the show, where you want them to get on with it. Sure, Lester may have overcome his fear of opening a trapdoor, but he didn't overcome his fear of going upstairs. I felt that the lesson left much to be desired, yet again this season.
Though I noted lots of negative points of the show in this review, I enjoyed it anyway. Way to go, John and John!
Edit: 2/24/05-I removed half a star from my rating. The show is quite poor, really. (Oh, and if you are still wondering what I mean when I say "John and John," I am referring to John Fornof and John Campbell, who I thought did a good job at the time)
