My Three Strikers

Strictly a family episode. No guest stars.

No frills. Just fights. LOTS.

Fairly dramatic storyline, all about Mike, Robbie and even Chip who DEMAND a raise in their allowance. It's inflation, especially for Mike, who claims going to high school is getting to be expensive?

What does Steve say? Nope on a rope. To get paid they have to work, and according to him, the guys have been slacking off on their household chores. The big debate continues. And one to watch.

Add some nightmare dream sequences, which are a gas, like something from a grade B horror flick. Mike has the weirdest dream -- Steve is a slave driver on steroids! Next, Mike, Robbie and Chip become ZOMBIES? Terific direction by Peter Tewksbury, having fun with the guys, It shows.

A different episode, particularly some heated scenes between Mike and Steve, showing Tim Considine at his best. Watching this story, shows you why Tim won the role.

AAA writing by husband and wife team Arnold and Lois Peyser, who would write one of Elvis' best films, THE TROUBLE WITH GIRLS (1969).

By the way, Bub has a good closing bit, scowling about getting a raise himself! Good luck, Bub.

SEASON 1 EPISODE 12 remastered. All 12 seasons are now on dvd in a single box set. Thank you CATCHY TV for the memories.
