Very over the top campy but fun watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon. What would the United States look like if a Lord Farquaad were not around to round up the farytale creatures and exile them? This movie makes a plausible suggestion - In a sort of Stephen King fashion of covering the same time period from three different character's point of view. If you aren't looking for something Heavy, this is a break from all the serious nonsense of the world to simply ESCAPE

Looking back (I was a Teenager and Delivered the Newspaper with the Headlines about the landing) I find it Truly Unbelievable that we actually did it. When we realize the Technologies of Today, the mission was genuinely done, as Mr. Spok would say, "With Stone Knives and Bearskins." This series caused me to Remember many things from those days, and all the days leading up to the landing. I remember the Monkey - then Alan Shepard - John Glen's Orbit (had the lunchbox, wanted the G.I. Joe capsule, never got it) Ed White's walk in space (followed by lots of PSA's with him) And the feeling of Devastation when hearing Chet Huntly report the Apollo 1 fire. So few growing up today can understand the meaning of a National Goal and its effect on everyone.

Most of what needs to be said of the episode has been said; However Why has no one seen the direct connection from this episode to the John Candy Movie Delirious? TZ episodes have inspired many movies since the series aired.
