I've always loved this episode. I do appreciate the fact that The Six Million Dollar Man remained primarily a grounded action series, but I was also able to enjoy the occasional science-fiction/fantasy episode. Fortunately, the producers were able to refrain from going overboard and making too many of them. And I thought "Straight On 'Till Morning" was an excellent episode. There was not a lot of action, but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed as a fine, dramatic episode. I realize that many viewers, especially the younger ones who are used to today's faster-paced TV, movies, video games, etc., will have a difficult time with it, but I found it one of the series' best overall episodes.

I found a copy of "Wonderland Cove" in the bargain bin at Kmart for only $3.00. I didn't recognize the title, but I knew what it was once I saw the photo on the cover of the box. It was originally titled "Stickin Together" when it aired on TV in 1978, and led to a short-lived series called "The MacKenzie's of Paradise Cove" in the spring of 1979. I couldn't wait to see it again! I loved the movie and the series when I was a kid. It was a great family drama, and the Hawaiian scenery was beautiful. The kids were all talented actors and Clu Gulager was great as the beach bum they recruit to act as their uncle. He reminded me of Brian Keith. This movie is definitely worth checking out, and I wish someone would release the series on DVD as well.
