Featured review
Not exactly 'The Greatest Show on Earth' (or wherever they are)
An anemic four-person space-circus comes to town and Smith once again sees an opportunity to betray the Robinsons in exchange for passage to Earth. The predictable episode revisits plot elements from season one's superior 'The Keeper' 2-parter and other than a good performance by James Westerfield as ring-master Dr. Marvello, doesn't have a lot to offer. Space-patriarch John threatens to skin Smith alive if any harm comes to young Will, begging the question of why the duplicitous doctor remains welcome on the Jupitar 2, as most episodes seem to involve him putting one or more of the younger Robinsons at risk. Also, it seems odd that the sophisticated space-faring team would be so enthralled by the amateurish magic show put on by Dr. Marvello. The monster-of-the-week is an uninspired yeti-like creature who was last seen as 'The Abominable Snowman' threatening the crew of the 'Sea View' in 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea' (s4-e18). 'Tiptoe Through the Tulips', the little ditty that Smith sings in his 'audition' for the circus, was a novelty hit for Tiny Tim a couple of years later.
