This plays out like a scooby doo episode. All we needed was the chase scene with the music, although we almost got that with the record. Very enjoyable. Creepy for creepy sake. I thought that it was a lot of fun. I too was reminded of the house that jack built. This one was creepier.

Jeanette Nolan makes this episode. Her acting is quite amazing. Her emotion when she's screaming and Perry is great. I like many of the Perry episodes enough to give a nine or ten, but this might well be my favorite.

I've been watching the DVDs in order, and this is my favorite so far. It's complete different than the usual, as it isn't the normal formula where the murderer confesses in court. I don't want to give it away, so I'll just say that the acting is amazing, and it's something different. It keeps you guessing and the turn in the end is unexpected.

I understand that the effects are somewhat lacking, but I love the "feel" of this version of a Christmas carol. Although some have said how dark and melancholy this is, it's the story the way it was written. I like other versions too, but I pull this one out every year.

Patrick Stewart and Joel Gray are particularly great.

It's funny. Unlike most of the reviews here, this was not my favorite when I was a child. In fact I remember seeing "Fraggle rock, coming up next" and changing the channel. Funny. I never saw this until I was in my 40s. But I wish I had. Now I'm in my mid 50s and I still think it's the best kids show ever. In fact, it's great for adults too.

I picked up the blueray prints and I'm enjoying my way through Fraggle rock for probably the 4th time. I enjoy the fact that the messages are all there no matter what your age, and they are enjoyable whatever your age. It's simple enough for a child but there's enough substance for an adult too. And what music! Even my 18 year old daughter watches it with me and she's at that age where nothing is good.

My advice? Pick out a couple of the higher rated ones and watch them. You'll soon be hooked and watching them all.

If you liked the Disney Pooh shorts and the Milne books then go see this movie. It was a lot of fun and definitely an emotional picture. Lots of fun, kid friendly, clean, and a lot of fun moments that hearken back to the books and films. Just see it. My only problem was that I had to keep the Kleenex handy.

And I still enjoy it. I was a senior in high school when this show premiered. Yes, it is absolutely campy, and of course it is not believable, but maybe that's why I like it so much, even today. This show reminds me of Star Trek,the original series in some ways. It's so over the top that you can forget about any idea of anyone getting hurt. You know before the episode even begins that Michael is going to come through, and good will triumph over evil and the bad guy is going to get it in the end. Just like Trek. But that's what I love about it. If I wanted to see reality, I can find another show, or simply walk out the front door. But this kind of show let's you just take your mind off the hook for a while and pretend that everything always comes out right in the end. If that's what you want, you're in the right place.

All of the cast are awesome in their own right. Roddy McDowell who is awesome in Planet of the apes and the Twilight Zone, William Windom from Star Trek and the Twilight Zone, then Anne Francis from Forbidden Planet, and the Twilight Zone, and James Gregory from Star Trek. Oh, and Ida Lupino from Sherlock Holmes too! I love this episode. The first time I saw it, I was amazed because I knew so many of the cast, and was excited about seeing them all in the one show.

Okay, yes it is over acted, but it doesn't make it any less enjoyable. For me, this is just a fun show with a lot of talent all in one place. One of my very favorites.

I really love this show. It's fascinating that it was produced by Desilu, at the same time as Star Trek -- also produced by Desilu. You would be able to tell, even if you didn't look at the credits. Many of the guest actors are in both shows, and of course, even some of the stars from Trek can be seen in Mission Impossible. I was able to find the entire series on disc recently, and have been working my way through it. Honestly, I've not found a lemon yet. Some are better than others of course, but none are disappointing. I highly recommend it, and recommend giving the movies a miss. They aren't anywhere near the quality of the original.

Watching Mission Impossible is like entering a time machine. You can see many actors who were just getting started, many who would become big stars as time went by. Carroll O'Connor, long before All in the Family. Ricardo Montalbon, before he became big. George Takei in a role other than Sulu, and of course Leonard Nimoy in a non-Spockian role. Dozens of other actors make their mark that you are sure to recognize if you enjoy TV from the 40's through the 80's or so. Enjoy.
