- The Man Who Was Death: Bill Sadler (over)plays Niles Talbot, a former electrician who now throws the switch for all the executions in the state. But when the state abolishes the death penalty, he loses his job. And then starts killing people who have been acquitted but are still guilty. Guess what happens when he gets caught? Skip this one. It's stupid.
- And All through the House: Mary Ellen Trainor (over)plays a wife who kills her husband with a fireplace poker on Christmas Eve. A madman who has stolen a Santa suit and killed 3 women arrives at her house, and she realizes she can blame her husband's death on him, so she kills Santa as well. Or does she? It's less stupid than the first one. But the Cryptkeeper is not very creepy.
- Dig that Cat...He's Real Gone: Joe Pantoliano (Joey Pants!!!) (over)plays a man who has been given the 9 lives of a cat. He spends his life dying in carnival acts so he can get rich. But he isn't very good at counting. Of the first three, I think I like the 2nd one best, then this one, and then the first one.
- Only Sin Deep: Lea Thompson (over)plays a lovely 21-year-old prostitute who pawns her beauty and has 4 months to come back and get it out of hock. Guess what happens.
- Lover Come Hack to Me: Amanda Plummer (over)plays a young woman on her wedding night to a man who married her for her money. Insight into her family history is gained.
- Collection Completed: M. Emmet Walsh (over)plays a man beginning retirement, who has to get used to his wife's collection of pets he never noticed before, while also trying to find a new hobby to pass the time.
I mean I'm glad I watched it, but if you haven't seen it, start with at least Season 2.
