VANITY is not good, but isn't WIZARDS AND WARLOCKS the fourth unaired? I haven't watched it for a while, but I have always remembered it...probably because I thought Pam did decently in it.

You're right. I got it mixed up with "30 Seconds..." which honestly, was a horrible way to end the series' original run. Ralph covering his eyes after hitting the principal's bumper. Well, at least all three are there in that one for the final scenes. I like "Wizards and Warlocks." Pam does a great job in it, and does most of the solving. Ralph pretty much plays Dungeons and Dragons on an outerspace arcade (yes... Dungeons and Dragons is the game they play. I had an Intellivision and that was one of the games. Also always lost because I got eaten up by the spider or rat, the weakest ones in the game. )

More I think about it, out of the two, Rock and Roll is the one that really is her worst effort. I mean, she doesn't kick the kids out of the house, making her very tired, she acts like the teenybopper, she doesn't dress properly for a rock concert (sorry, I don't see her wearing a long dress to one), she's too worried about what the neighbors think about her and Ralph living there... I could go on forever. (and that's just them even having a neighborhood group too. That should've started earlier in the series, as Ralph's kept his home area clean. It seemed real forced).

I am not for sure which qualifies as the worst, but 30 SECONDS and IT'S ONLY ROCK 'N ROLL will both be down there for sure.

There are a lot of things I don't like about "30 Seconds..." so I'll have to watch both again before I make a decision as worst with Pam. ("30 Seconds..." I do think is Ralph's worst.)

Almost the whole third season was a bit bizarre to me. . .

Almost the whole third season was a bit bizarre to me. . . That's the thing, it was a mixed bag, and while I like a lot of the episodes, you can tell where they weren't getting much money to make eps. That was evident with the suit for some reason growing Ralph's hair out and subsequently cutting it... for no reason. Out of the third season, I love: "Divorce, Venusian Style," "Live at Eleven," "The Newlywed Game," "The Resurrection of Carlini," "Heaven is in Your Genes," "Desperado," and "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" (overall, HD, though they goofed writing Pam). Like: "Wizards and Warlocks," "Price is Right," and "This is the One The Suit was Meant For." They aren't quite as strong, but there's a lot to enjoy in them so they're fun to watch. Don't like much: "Space Ranger" (though I love Ralph landing the helicopter. It was neat too to see Katt do the stunt, though he was closer to the ground), "Vanity, Says the Preacher" (you can tell it was the last one filmed, and don't like the last scene for that reason) and "30 Seconds Over Little Tokyo" (not a great way to end the series' run on TV, especially with the much better "Desperado" being one of the four they didn't air. And, sorry, I really hate how Pam and Ralph were treated in this ep. ) I think had it been given a full third season... maybe there'd been more to enjoy and ABC'd realized what they were giving up over the shows they did put in its place. Both of those failed I believe. It'd been interesting too if they filmed "The Long Fall at Ten, Four and Two." Based on the synopsis I've read, it'd been really interesting to see filmed, and shed some light on if you had to wear all the suit or not in order to use all the powers. Now, so as I don't totally digress... I think had it gone a full third season, Pam might've also gotten to wear the suit for an episode, and Pam probably would've been shifted back to her tough as nails gal, not more into filing her nails (though to be fair... you'd want to look your best).

The LONG FALL AT TEN, TWO, AND FOUR did not sound very Pam oriented...I don't know if they SHOULD have made that one. And I doubt that Pam would ever wear the suit unless she was HEROINE.

Well, you never know. I have considered buying that script, but I don't know now. I've got a couple of ideas on what I want to spend my B-day money on (clothes, a Celtic necklace with a peridot in it). And yes... Pam would be a very good Heroine. Now how she got the suit over Ralph (and I think it'd be other than ego or a character death (I'd rather see Ralph the sidekick there), would've been interesting).
