Good episode; poor quality video
"The Avenger" episode of "Bonanza" features and a young and handsome Vic Morrow in one of his many pre-"Combat!" television appearances. This was the first of his two guest appearances on the acclaimed TV western. He portrayed different characters in both episodes. In "The Avenger" Morrow is a character named Lassiter; he rides in to town to avenge a murder just as Ben and Adam Cartwright are about to be hanged for murders they did not commit.

An interesting story line develops as young Lassiter makes a connection in Virginia City and charms a lady and a young boy. The Cartwrights are, of course, spared the hangman's noose. Morrow shines in this episode and fans of his early work will want to add this one to their collection.

The low star rating is not due to the story nor the acting, but rather the poor quality of this video. The video was produced on the "EP" mode of recording, resulting in poor picture quality as compared to tapes produced in "SP" mode. I've viewed this tape on VCRs with both automatic tracking and manual tracking and have not been able to obtain a clear picture. If this is a "must have" for your video library, the Amazon price is low enough, but watch for this episode to show up on television if you want a better quality picture. ... Read more

Rodger C. Carmel: An under rated talent
For those of you who love the original series; you're in for a treat. Rodger C. Carmel left us too early. His passing in 1986, was not met with much publicity. Harcourt Fenton Mudd would've been ideal for the film series. This "scoundrel" couldn't fool any of his victims for long. Between his android followers and beautiful women; was a rich character that should've had his own series ... Read more

Doctor Smith gets into trouble again
This is a typical lost in space epic in which Dr. Smith eats fuit which is unsafe.As a result,he turns into a giant. Not a bad episode but certainly not one of the best. The camera work is pretty well done that shows a 20 ft tall mift Dr. Smith. ... Read more

Finally out in space....but to where?
This episode intrigued me the most because of the creative way the Astrogator was used to plot their time-space solution to avoid a collision with the star SOL! Excellent humor as Doctor Zachary Smith dumps the RFC system! I was sure Don West or John Robinson would throw him overboard when I first saw this 33 years ago! Also I found it exciting when Alpha Control finally made contact with the Robinson crew! A must for all Lost In Space Fans! It was this episode plus "The Raft" which caused me to write the book "Jupiter 2 Propulsion Specifications". Excellent story!

Way better than Blast Off Into Space!
This is an excelent episode! full of chills and thrills. Plus Dr. Smith puts his clumsyness to entertainmental use! Great for any fan of Lost In Space! ... Read more

The second episode from the season of "St. Elsewhere"
"Bypass" is the second episode from the first season of "St. Elsewhere," the critically acclaimed series that changed forever the medical shows on television. "E.R." made it to the top of the Nielsen ratings, but "St. Elsewhere" was the show that opened to door to doctors being seen more realistically than what we were used to with "Marcus Welby, M.D." and "Medical Center." I remember driving this home in a television class when we too the multi-episode plot line on "St. Elsewhere" involving the heart transplant and turned it into a "Medical Center" episode during a class discussion. I was sort of hoping that "Bypass" was the unforgettable episode from that run where the heart transplant was performed, but it is not.

Of course there are multiple plot lines going on in "Bypass," but the main one has Dr. Jack Morrison (David Morse) having to treat the bank bomber, Andrew Reinhardt (a young Tim Robbins). Meanwhile Stephen MacAllister (Jack Bannon), the husband of one of the bomber's victims, shows up at St. Eligus to find his wife in a coma. Unfortunately the rather memorable resolution of this particular plotline is not found on this tape (it comes in episode 4, "Cora and Arnie," and if you go for the "Best of" video series you can get both episodes on one tape). The other plot lines find Dr. Mark Craig (William Daniels) badgering a patient into agreeing to surgery in another effort to get publicity for the hospital, Dr. Ben Samuels (David Birney) trying to teach Dr. Beale (G. W. Bailey) to swim, and Laraine Newman of "Saturday Night Live" as a patient called "Tweety."

This episode, co-written by series creators Joshua Brand and John Falsey, originally aired on November 9, 1982. Hard to believe that it has been over two decades since "St. Elsewhere" went on the air and as "'Hill Street Blues' set in a hospital.'" On the basis of the pilot episode and this second effort Dr. Morrison is clearly the focal character (the Anthony Edwards of his generation) but you also have clear evidence of the quirky humor of the series. For those who reduce this series, one of the best television dramas ever, to being the first place where future Oscar winner Denzel Washington made a name for himself, there is the added bonus on another future Oscar winner with Tim Robbins guest-starring in this one. ...
