Music Videos way before there was an MTV.

This was Music Videos way before there was an MTV. The plot is wrapped around opportunities to showcase the Fifth Dimension in-studio performing several of their popular titles. The plot of the episode is featuring Marilyn McCoo (as a thinly veiled version of herself) in jeopardy and Alexander is assigned to guard her life. The sub-plots involve all the other members of the Fifth Dimension and some exotic plot twists that keep the action level high as expected.

All-in-all, a worthy effort to give Alexander a consuming interest and enough action to stand up to the rest of the series. An entertaining show for those unfamiliar with the series. Start here!

Confusing & Ridiculous

Marilyn McCoo is dead & some horns spliced onto the end of 'One Less Bell To Answer' have something to do with it. Turns out she's not dead & then everybody wonders why she faked her death. The resolution does little to explain that. The direction is great & even suspenseful. But it's still fun. Personal note: this episode has stuck in my head for 47 years & I finally saw it again at 55. It was better when I was 7 but thats life. Good for wasting 1 hour.
