If you like stories which are pure fantasy then you'll like this one. If you are the sort of person that prefers hard sci-fi, then you won't like this one.

This episode sees Will become friends with an alien version of an Arabian Shiek. The Shiek is played by the great Malachi Thorne who brings a lot of energy and fun to this episode. As another reviewer mentioned, he has a fantastic voice that I could listen to over and over.

There are many comedic moments in this episode. One which I found particularly funny was when Will called Penny a "female camel" and plays all tough with her. Also to see Dr Smith underneath a swinging blade that is about to cut him in two is very funny.

I am a big fan of the original series so I was interested in watching this animated spin-off when I saw it on the blu-ray set. Before watching, I read the reviews on here and was well aware that is was nothing like the original show. The cartoon is what you would expect from a mid-70s cartoon show. Lots of action, good storyline and very colourful animation. In this case, the story was very good with a bit of a science lesson about polarity included. I really liked the part where Dr Smith and the young boy were imprisoned in the alien city. For those comparing it to the original show - don't! It is fun little show on it's own and would be especially enjoyable to young kids.

One of the weakest from Season 1 - this episode is best summed up as boring. The episode finds Darrin awkwardly involved with the Stephens' neighbour Danger O'Riley. Endora, wanting to teach Darrin a lesson, employs George, a warlock, to become romatically involved with Samantha. Instead, George falls in love with Danger. One of the few redeemable things is that we get to see George as a raven, whistle a few bars of the Bewitched theme song. It's also cool to see the raven plugging in the typewriter and typing. In terms of story, it feels very bogged down and dull. There is little humour or excitement to carry the story. Watch it for the cool raven tricks but skip the rest!
