charameiHm. Wikipedia tells me that the episodes in this boxset are out of transmission order. That rather nullifies the analysis of It's Supposed to be Thicker Than Water that I was about to write, complaining that Jeff's telling Marty to piss off is completely out of the blue and makes no sense. I'll have to switch to transmission order and start again.
Things are definitely warming up now, no doubt because I'm secretly in S02 or 3. Both the writers and the actors are more into it; there are still (gaping) plotholes, but it's reached the point where the show makes up for it with good characterisation and an actual relationship between the two main characters.
There's something to be said about the different ways in which the two series treat occultism and calling the ghost, but that's a long essay... I think I'd like to watch a bit more of the 1969 series before I try to get it onto paper. Maybe even in order!
Seriously, who messes about with transmission order in boxsets? Seriously.
