    Another wasted 30 minutes of my life

    Another wasted 30 minutes of my life with this load of old rubbish from TOTU. I can't believe it but as I watch each episode from this box set they seem to get progressively worse.
    searchanddestroy-1

    Smooth and bearable, but not more.

    The typical routine scheme for this TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED series, when it seems they have nothing better to propose, nothing exceptional. But it is still good and entertaining to watch, not so usual, and the ending remains unpredictable. This man and his two "women" together around him is pretty interesting, maybe not really funny, but worth the watch. However, don't expect any terrific plot or even acting. Just routine agreeable time waster, in waiting for the next episode. Be patient, folks, be patient. I don't know any of the actors, I would have liked a famous movie star, as in some other episodes.
