While on a company vacation at a health resort, Jamie, Vicki, Brandon and
Harriet see a burglar hitting their residence -- each with a different eyewitness
account.
Lots of shapely spandex in this one! Notable is the Vicki
"point-of-view" optical effect. There were videotapes from collegians
which offered amateurish but well excuted graphical robot POVs that'd put the
Terminator's to shame, but producers are leery of using such freebie tangible
offerings, even from fans.
This techno-gag sprang from a much earlier video terminal concept for Ted's
computer that would've opened up a lot of cool plots, but for the sake of
protecting great ideas from lurking rip-off artists in the industry, I'm afraid
I can only tantalize you this much.
One scene that gives you a good idea of Brissette's featherweight petiteness is when burglar Blaisdell scoops her up under his arm and she's nearly airborne for a few moments. The same two had similiar experiences in an earlier episode, "Victor/V.I.C.I.," when Blaisdell had to be sure that he didn't accidentially launch her when he swept her up from beneath the arms. Sweeping her high off her feet was also one of prankster Christie's favorite pastimes around the set when he wasn't tugging Schulman's braids. To the beer-guzzling stage crew this was one of the more memorable episodes, what with all the bronzed bodies sashaying about the tiny gym set. In the interest of stage safety, the kids couldn't horse around the equipment, much to their pouting dismay.
