7/10
Old Ben
29 October 2014
J. Pat O'Malley stars as likable old man the kids call old Ben. Ben likes to play games with the neighborhood kids like Baseball and Hide & Go Seek, but he adds an extra twist to the latter game by becoming a monster! You see, old Ben is in reality from outer space, and has the ability to shape-shift, but he also has another secret, that he is an intergalactic fugitive, on the run from his own people, but quite fond of young Jenny(played by Susan Gordon) who will become a crucial part of his escape plan when his people catch up with him... Endearing sci-fi tale is more of a fantasy or fairy tale, but a nice episode for kids especially, and is easy to take for adults.
