User Reviews

if i here the word Bango one more time...

A tabloid reporter (Kirstie Alley) will go to any length necessary to dig up the dirt on legendary rock musician Billy Baltimore, who's supposedly been dead for the last 20 years. This episode pretty much sucked, no one in it was relatable so you didn't really give a damn what happened to any of them thus removing any trace of tension. It really didn't help matters that Alley's acting abilities, or in this case, lack there of, was grating beyond belief. The Hitchhiker series had some pretty good shows, this was definitely not one of them. This is one of the episodes that can be found on disc 2 of Volume 1 of the US release.

My Grade: D-
