Extremely overlooked, especially in light of how critics and listeners alike fawned over Tres Hombres. The first two tracks alone are a quantum jump over the entire first record.

Often you will find this packaged with Vicious But Fair as a two-fer, and I have to say, they are fairly similar. But on both records, the material is certainly more out-front and not just part of a formless whole. There is a raucous cover of "Daddy Rolling Stone", but I feel like they missed a bigger opportunity if they had polished "Roll Up, Roll Up" just a touch here and there, and it may have latched onto chart success. The Wikipedia page mentions it's a well-respected album and I have to agree with that analysis.

You watch stuff like this and think playing the scene of the guy reading the Zener cards over and over again for an hour straight would not only be more entertaining, but believable.

Even in the abridged NG syndicated version, this is a decent, well-acted episode, with a good cast in offbeat roles (Will Geer and Jeanette Nolan). Fun fact: Gary Collins and Mary Ann Mobley were a real-life married couple.

Even in its truncated form this is one of the more watchable episodes of TSS, which somehow manages to tie a silver bullet, a groovy rock band cassette, twin sisters, and a kooky middle-aged fortune-teller (played by Louise Latham) to four murders. Don't ask, just watch.
