Definitely interesting!
At first you'd think the avenger that mysteriously comes into town is some sort of robber or murderer. But he turns out to save Ben's life and keep going on to save more people's lives. The Avenger will definitely leave you curious throughout the entire show. ... Read more

I Agree
Buying a video without knowing what episodes are on it is very risky, like a roll of the dice.

It is hard to purchase something without knowing what episodes are on the tape. It would be nice to see a detailed list of the shows. ... Read more

Two second season episodes of "The Dick Van Dyke Show"
A pair of second season episodes from "The Dick Van Dyke Show" are featured on this video tape. Episode #39, "The Night the Roof Fell In" (Written by John Whedon, Aired November 21, 1962) is another one of those television sitcom homages to Akira Kurosawa's film "Rashomon." Rob (Dick Van Dyke) and Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) each have quite different versions of the fight that sent Rob storming out of the house to sleep in the garage. The fun comes as each retells what happens to their friends: Laura sees herself as the perfect Suzy Homemaker who has to deal with Rob, the grumbling meanie, while Rob sees himself as a charming, dancing husband who is the one who has to put up with the grumbling spouse. Do not worry, because everything ends up okay in the end of this classic sitcom episode, which gives the two stars a chance to play off their characters (it reminds me of an outtake Van Dyke and Moore did once where he cried instead of her).

Then we have Episode #31, "Never Name a Duck" (Written by Carl Reiner, Aired September 26, 1962) in which Rob brings home two baby ducks. Laura has reservations about the whole thing but the ducks become beloved family pets. But then one of the ducks dies, and Richie (Larry Mathews) worries why the other one gets sicker and sicker. This is a rare episode in which father and son share a nice little heart-to-heart talk about life and death. There are not a lot of serious episodes from this classic television sitcom, but this would certainly be one of them. It is strange to find both of these episodes on the same tape, but these are both very good episodes, and the first is a bone fide classic "Dick Van Dyke" episode. ... Read more
