Tears of a clown

Best episode ever, I love Christian Kane in any role, and the rest of the cast are great too,Jenkins is also a favorite since Night Court. I liked the show this week because the magic seemed more real that other episodes. The writers and director nailed it on this one.The costume designs were fabulous.They seemed to do nicely for each of the characters.If anyone missed it, please try to find it and watch.My opinion, It was now silly at all, it was entertaining.Christian is just the best at anything he does,acting, singing, being a chef, wish the show would show more of his skills. Rebecca is a very talented actress also. I am no a big fan of Jones or Gillian but they are cute

Worst Episode Ever!

First, I just want to say that I really love this show--that is, except for this episode and the 2 that follow this one. What a total disappointment!

With a show like this, one comes to expect a certain kevel of quality in the writing and storyline. I have no idea what happened or who wrote this episode (and the 2 that follow, to boot), but it's like it was written as filler, to entertain those without a brain; nonsensical, goofy, and verging on complete idiocy, I couldn't even watch it (or the following 2)!

How a show can go from the compelling and intriguing storylines of all the other episodes to these that are pretty much complete drivel is beyond me. Now I'm on the fence as to whether it'll be worth my while to even check out season 4...

Again, what a complete and utter disappointment.

Trivia
There's a scene where Jenkins is listing the historical magical artifacts that can transmute matter, and he mentions the scepter of Korob. This is a reference to Catspaw (1967), where aliens Korob and Sylvia use a transmuter in the form of a scepter to capture and hold members of the crew.

Goofs
The Librarians show up in full clown get-up at the carnival, arriving in a "clown car". They are eventually captured by the magician at the magic show and are led away to another part of the carnival. Between the time they leave the one tent and arrive at the other, they changed into the clothes they where wearing earlier in the show and all their clown make-up has been cleaned off. It is highly unlikely they brought a change of clothes with them, and that the magician would allow them to change and get cleaned up before attempting to turn them into wax statues.
