I found this post when I was Googling my dad, and I thought I'd share a story: In the long-ago days of VHS, my dad and I were standing in the checkout line at the Virgin Megastore and the person in front of us was waiting to purchase the single-episode cassette of "The Special One." My dad tapped the guy on the shoulder and introduced himself as the kid on the cover of the tape. The guy was pretty surprised, to say the least!

"The Special One" grabs bonus points for confining this potentially dire side-track to a single show ... instead of exploding it into a series, which is probably how we'd see the idea today. As a one-off, it's not so heinous; many of the program's participants, at the time, had children of similar vintage, and this was a good way to address the idea that watching OUTER LIMITS was bad for the Youth of America.<br /><br />Yes, I may be over-reading it. But when you consider all the factors in play when it comes to getting teleplay "hooks" verbally approved — ie., "alien tutor" = "go for it!" — it's mildly astonishing there weren't more episodes of this flavor.DJSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535833613343533564.post-20331032211771069362011-02-11T13:23:08.303-08:002011-02-11T13:23:08.303-08:00Thanks for this illuminating piece, DJS.
