Airdate: 4/20/80
Andromus, the world’s worst party crasher, is still hell-bent on getting to thattransmitter, and his nerves are so frazzled he blasts a microwave oven when its radio waves incapacitate his Cylon companion. Troy and Dillon have to deal with the usual NYC hazards, including Central Park muggers (this was the early 80s after all), in order to thwart their nemeses’ fiendish plans, and it all comes to a head atop a radio tower, where even Wolfman Jack gets into the act.
Two-parter’s conclusion is still fitfully campy, abetted by
camp actors Lara Parker (Dark Shadows)
and Wolfman Jack, who would be the totally awesome subject of a
Halloween-themed TV and movie marathon (check out his IMDB; he’s done more than
you think). Race to the finish is actually pretty thrilling, but just what is
it with all those disclaimers at the end, telling us the government stopped
investigating U.F.O.’s in 1969?
