The Flintstones: The Stonefinger Caper (1965)
Gazzoo Really Knows How To Set Things Right
It is interesting how Stonefinger mistakes Barney for a professor and yet is not fooled by being given the details of another formula. Fred and Barney seem to be foolish in asking for that car while Wilma and Betty know that it is not a good idea. Gazzoo seems reluctant to come to their rescue after he is spoken of badly. I really like how he deals with Stonefinger, his pet, and his assistants,in which case they all seem very happy now. Stonefinger obviously gets what he really needs and his assistants really do come to help him when they rush to his aid; and they really are of help to him in his condition when Gazzoo uses his magic on them. Fred and Barney seem to have learned a valuable lesson.
Bewitched: Samantha and the Antique Doll (1971)
Samantha Finds A Way
Tabatha seems to have made Darrin's mother puzzled by making the antique doll fly, which leaves Samantha with a problem to fix that eventually leads to another problem after each strategy. Darrin's mother keeps thinking she has supernatural powers after Samantha's first trick and eventually has trouble. Anyway, I like how Samantha eventually manages set things in a working order. I was even more pleased to see how Samantha tried to keep Darrin happy after her mother cast a spell near the end. I even hope that Samantha's mother does not come over for quite some time since the two of them looked rather nice together at the very end of the episode.
Big Top Pee-wee (1988)
Pee Wee the Farmer, Scientist, and Circus Performer
I have mixed feelings about this movie. I did not like any parts that were sexual or disgusting especially the part where he fed some birds. (In this case, I do not feel too comfortable in having the movie viewed by children.) I am not one of those people who is impressed with the portrayal of Pee Wee Herman. The elderly townspeople could have been shown more. Of course, the part where Pee Wee gave them what they really needed (see the beginning of part 9 on YouTube) was excellent and things like that would be great for fun entertainment. This movie basically, involves Pee Wee Herman living as a farmer (the farm has some similarities to his playhouse) who is also working on a faster way to produce organic produce (already successful) and even inventing a wiener tree. Eventually, a circus accidentally arrive due to a bad storm and the plans are made for a performance (maybe later ones too) in the area. However, the older townspeople (who are often grumpy) object to the circus and want it to leave their town. Pee Wee tries to join the circus, but gets into trouble when he has relationships with two women who show some problems themselves with on of them later having four boyfriends and they other giving some excessive kissing at the end that does look a little dirty. The elderly townspeople are obviously not the majority of the population. They are just shown as the only ones around town at times since they are quite controllable. Many of the other townspeople are probably working or doing things elsewhere, but this is not a realistic movie. Anyway, I really like how Pee Wee Herman eventually deals with these older people by giving them something we all kind of need at times.
