After a week off we have returned with this supernatural comedy! 

Summary

To shorten the work commute, a young couple reluctantly makes a decision to move their family out of the house they love. They'll miss the neighbors, the location and... the ghosts who live in the attic. A pornographer and his star/wife move in to the chagrin of the poltergeists. Finally, the ghosts begin to act 'ghostlike' in order to frighten the new tenants away... The episode ends with the first family returning to the home and starting life exactly where they had left off, Mom, Dad, the kids and the 2 ghosts...

Commentary

A touch of "Beetlejuice" and Dante's own "The Burbs" combine in this episode but unfortunately, Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandell's (Parenthood, Splash, EdTV) script is hindered by televisions 22 minute structure. Dante has some fun with the portrayal of the new homeowners and the musical score by his Gremlins composer, Jerry Goldsmith, is appropriately light, although sparse.

How Amazing?
