This is really a very good TV-movie with a very good plot: A female (yes, female!) computer-geek is hacking a satellite-broadcast of a very famous TV-crime-series called "Archibald Smith". As far as I know there is no real TV-series with this title. Anyway: With this Satellite-hack she's loading her neighbor right up into the TV-series as the hero "Archibald Smith".

This movie is very, very cool, but unfortunately it hasn't been broadcast in Germany for quite a while. So please GermanTV RE-AIR THIS.

If you expect a Hollywood-blockbuster with lot's of special effects, remember that this is 1. made for TV and 2. it's from 1990. But the fantastic plot and the really good actors are worth it. If you ever get the chance to watch it - don't miss it & have a lot of fun.

This is really one of the best sci-fi mini-series for kids. But not only for kids - adults will also love it. Unfortunalety the series is only available in Germany :-( If you ever catch it on telly - than please WATCH IT! There's a DVD available with an making of the series. Bytheway: Armin Maiwald - the director of "Robbi, Tobbi und das Fliewatüüt" - is very famous in Germany because of the weekly show "Die Sendung mit der Maus". "Die Sendung mit der Maus" is a TV-show for kids, that maybe compared with the "Couriosity Show" (does anyone still know this show?) crossed with "Sesame Street". Back to "Robbi, Tobbi & das Fliewatüüt": Remember that this series is more than 30 years old - but it is IMHO the right movie to show "nowadays" kids that there don't have to be expensive special-effects like in "Harry Potter" or "The Chrinicles of Narnia" to tell a wonderful story that actually really work.
