As the body count continues to rise in a city where greed and corruption fuel a money hungry quest for power, a vicious serial killer leads authorities on a wild goose chase. Although a beautiful and brilliant young woman's investigation begins to lead her ever closer to the fearsome murderer, she must avoid his wrath while simultaneously contending with an insane assassin and her increasingly unhinged partner. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

With store employee Nora threatening to sue Drew (Drew Carey) for creating a "hostile workplace" by posting a harmlessly ribald newspaper cartoon, Winfred-Louder's attorneys Fenn and Geller (played, appropriately, by magicians Penn & Teller) pressure Drew to settle the suit out of court. When our hero refuses, Kate (Christa Miller) recommends that he hire her slimy ex-boyfriend Brad (Christopher Darga) as his lawyer. Ultimately, however, Drew chooses to represent himself in court--and we're going to refrain from making that "fool for a client" crack, even though it's true. Meanwhile, Oswald (Diedrich Bader) finds himself attracted to the promiscuous Peaches (Julie McCullough), who's already gone on record with her case of the hots for Drew! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Though we didn't see it acknowledged in the opening credits, Baby Doll Murders is a reworking of the 1964 Victor Buono vehicle The Strangler. There's a killer on the loose, preying upon beautiful young women. At the scene of each crime, the police find a damaged baby doll. Detective Jeff Kober detects a subtle pattern emerging. Alas, it leads to the inescapable conclusion that the next victim will be the wife of Kober's partner. Expectedly exploitational, Baby Doll Murders is not bad of its kind. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This episode introduces Julie McCullough in the role of Julie Costello, the 19-year-old nanny hired to take care of little Chrissy Seaver now that mom Maggie (Joanna Kerns) has returned to work. It was Mike (Kirk Cameron) who selected Maggie, not so much for her child-care skills as for the fact that she is drop-dead gorgeous. It isn't long before the ultra-efficient Julie bids fair to completely take Maggie's place around the house--and just guess what Maggie has to say about that! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

After catching both Carol (Tracey Gold) and Ben (Jeremy Miller) sneaking out on dates without permission, Jason (Alan Thicke) punishes them--but not equally. Upset that Carol is grounded while Ben is let off with little more than a slap on the wrist, Maggie (Joanna Kerns) accuses Jason of sexism, and insists upon administering the kids' punishment herself. But when Maggie's verdict completely reverses the one laid down by Jason, it becomes painfully obvious to both Seavers that the "Double Standard" can work both ways! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the conclusion of a two-part story, the Seavers are still on board a luxury cruise ship, where Jason (Alan Thicke) has managed to sabotage the planned wedding of his widowed mom Irma (Jane Powell) and her current boyfriend Wally (Robert Rockwell). But after realizing how much he has hurt his mother, Jason desperately tries to reunite the couple. Meanwhile, the off-and-on relationship between Mike (Kirk Cameron) and Julie (Julie McCullough) crystallizes in spectacular fashion. This is the final episode of Growing Pains' fourth season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this pivotal episode, both Mike (Kirk Cameron) and Julie (Julie McCullough) suffer pre-marital jitters--to say nothing of a mutual case of cold feet--on the eve of their wedding. In hopes of resolving his doubts, Mike seeks advice from literally everyone, including (via telephone) his former high school teacher Coach Lubbock (played by Bill Kirchenbauer, then currently portraying Lubbock on the Growing Pains spinoff Just the Ten of Us). The ending of this episode is both startling and bewildering: suffice to say that this marks the final regular appearance of Julie McCullough. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

No matter how hard he tries, Mike (Kirk Cameron) can score no better than a C- in his psychology class. Figuring that his own psychiatric credentials might be of some use, Jason (Alan Thicke) helps Mike on a makeup exam--even going so far as to "improve" his son's answers before the paper is turned in. Imagine Jason's chagrin when Mike ends up with even a lower grade than before! Can it be that the fault lies not with Mike but with his intractable psych professor Dr. Rosenfeld (Richard Sanders)? (Trivia note: Despite its title, this is actually the 89th episode of Growing Pains). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

After the phenomenal box-office and critical success of David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of The Fly, a series of big-budget remakes of '50s horror favorites rode in on its coattails in the late 1980s -- though none managed to rise above mere camp clones of their elders, albeit garnished with modern makeup effects in an attempt to draw modern teen horror-junkies. One remake that managed to live up to its cheesy inspiration was Chuck Russell's version of The Blob, in which the title goo crashes to earth and promptly begins digesting the residents of a small California town while growing to gargantuan proportions. The clean-cut teen hero originally portrayed by Steve McQueen (his first starring role) is replaced here with a rebellious outsider (Kevin Dillon) whose preppie rival (Donovan Leitch) for the affections of the cute heroine (Shawnee Smith) is quickly eliminated by the all-consuming space-gelatin. No sooner has the plasma menace set up house in the town sewers when a shadowy government Blob Squad shows up under the direction of the grandfatherly Dr. Meddows (Joe Seneca), to clean up the mess... or not. This high-spirited remake replaces the '50s "Daddy-O" conventions of the original with '80s cynicism -- not even likeable characters are spared from the slaughter -- and anti-government sentiment. It also pushes the gore envelope in ways unavailable to its low-budget parent -- e.g. the scene in which one victim is sucked through a sink drain was only hinted at in the 1958 film, but here viewers are treated to the entire bone-crunching ordeal. Though the quality of blob effects seems inversely proportional to the creature's size (some of the climactic "wall-of-blob" footage is painfully cheap-looking), the end result is more blob for the monster-movie fan's dollar. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
