    Not one of my favorite episodes, SHADOW BOXER has a mommy ghost trying to reunite her husband and son, who is an up-and-coming boxer. The only reason to watch this episode is the once-famous movie actress Sonia Braga as the mommy ghost. She is a strong presence. A cute bit of business has Melinda preparing a meal for father and son, using Braga's recipe for chicken and rice. Problem is, they don't want to be at the same table and end up accusing Melinda of somehow tricking them. Peter Onorati, who some of you may remember from a bunch of past TV shows, plays a somewhat shady promoter looking to take the kid pro when what he really needs is to make it to the Olympics.
