    Your horny doctor

    Sometimes I need to remember that this show is basically a campy comedy and not written for thespians, which I'm clearly not, and not to take anything too seriously. As silly as this episode turned out to be, it was still mildly entertaining, and boasted some familiar faces including: Ray Bolger, Harriet Nelson, David Hedison, and Diana Canova. I'll give a very quick line or 2 about the 3 stories; Horris and Henrietta(Bolger and Nelson)are 2 old geezers who survived the Titanic, but they are considered jinxes because several mishaps happen to the crew whenever the couple's around. The weaker story has identical sisters(Canova)both taking turns seducing Dr. Bricker, who's just a tad unprofessional, if you ask me; the other story has Julie's old flame, who she calls Buddy, played by a bored and wooden Hedison, come aboard the ship, and she's stupid enough to think that he'll propose to her since he's recently divorced. To wrap this up, even though this episode bordered on the sublime at times, there was some mindless fun too.

      For the jinx couple who were married on the Titanic, and assuming that the actors and the characters they play were born in the same in the same year, the ages that they became "man and wife" we're 8 and 3, respectively.
