ORBzine - UK TV Roundup - August 1999

25th July 1999 [Saturday]

Quantum Leap [Season 2, Episode 19] Leaping in Without a Net - November 18, 1958

This is reviewed in our special supplement!

For some reason these new repeats do not have the tag they had on the first run - one assumes that BBC also bought the syndicated version which can be shown in any order. Not only is this a pitiful waste of licence-payers' money, it is also butchery of the programme itself. The tag gave continuity between episodes, and better allowed the viewer to understand the disorientating effects the leaps had on Sam.

Eerie Indiana: The Other Dimension [season , Episode ] - it is just NOT the same! This time Mitchell's sister falls foul of an evil make-up lady. Or something like that.

I Dream of Jeannie has been on every day for several months, but this reviewer thought it worth a mention because NASA's 1960s space exploration is currently a hot topic.

Deep Space Nine [Season 2, Episode 9] Second Sight

Deep Space Nine [Season 2, Episode 10] Sanctuary

This is reviewed in our special supplement!

The Dark Side shows its age by giving us the young Danny Aiello as a bookie and the young Tom Noonan as a mysterious gambler. This is a surprising turn-out for such a depressingly second-rate series - and this show is much better than average because of it. The script is reasonable, too - although the dialogue is somewhat stilted and the twist in the end is predictable ...
