Racism is alive and well and living in Beverly Hills, as this slightly comic drama reveals. Kim is a nice Anglo girl who is about to "come out" as a debutante. In her social set, girls simply do not date "minority" people, and when she begins seeing the stunningly handsome Tom Garcia, not only does this scandalize her friends and (more particularly) her mother, but everyone assumes that he is the son of field hands. Kim's mother, in particular, is anxious to make him go away. Assuming that he is simply poor and greedy, she offers him money to give her daughter up. She is astonished to discover that he is a Hispanic rich kid, living at a ritzy address in Bel Air. Furthermore, he is working actively to improve the public perception of Hispanics, and he is understandably insulted on several fronts by this "offer." Thwarted in her attempt, the obsessive socialite mother then conspires with a socially acceptable Anglo boy to do some dirty tricks which will bring daughter Kim back into the fold. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

In a conventional teen movie that condemns violence in the dialogue then supplies it in the action sequences, a young woman is gang raped and murdered in a California college town, sparking her brother Kevin (James Van Patten) to take up arms by night with a gang of like-minded vigilantes from his fraternity, brutally punishing any miscreants they catch in a criminal act. In the meantime, Kevin debates the issue of violent crime in the U.S. with his teachers and others during the day. As Kevin and his gang head toward a final, bloody confrontation with the low-lifes who murdered his sister, other scenes show the difference between his character, now violent, and the normal people he is supposedly protecting. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Victoria Meyerink guest stars as Angela Clayton, a drab, chubby, standoffish girl who has developed a hopeless crush on Jody (Johnnie Whitaker). Taking pity on the girl, Buffy (Anissa Jones) decides to pull a "Henry Higgins", giving "Eliza Doolittle" Angela a fashion makeover, putting her on a diet, and arranging a party so she can meet some eligible boys. Unfortunately, Buffy is incapable of doing anything to change Angela's nasty, negative attitude. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

It's often been said that love flies out the door when money flies in the window. This proves to be painfully accurate when Buffy (Anissa Jones) and Jody (Johnnie Whitaker) receive an inheritance of 52 dollars. Dazzled by their "sudden wealth", the kids soon become uncharacteristically avaricious, as Jody demands more than Buffy's share in order to fulfill his dreams, and vice versa! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Lisa (Eva Gabor) has been behaving strangely of late -- that is to say, she is behaving more strangely than usual. Witnesses have seen her searching about for a job, and even standing in welfare soup lines. The neighbors naturally jump to the logical conclusion: Lisa's husband Oliver (Eddie Albert) has lost all his money. We said "logical" conclusion, however; we didn't say the "right" one. Victoria Meyerink makes her final series appearance as Lori Baker. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In their efforts to make their young house guest Lori Baker (Victoria Meyerink) feel at home, Oliver (Eddie Albert) and Lisa (Eva Gabor) shower the little girl with gifts and attention. Surprisingly, their generosity breeds jealousy -- on the part of their handyman Eb (Tom Lester). Having long before "adopted" Oliver and Lisa as his surrogate parents, Eb resents Lori's "intrusion"; in other words, it's sibling rivalry without siblings! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Season six of Green Acres begins as gentleman farmer Oliver Douglas (Eddie Albert) and his wife Lisa (Eva Gabor) prepare to welcome some guests to their farm as part of a "Kids in the Country Program." The guests are four city youngsters who, among other things, are amazed to discover that cows give milk, and not milk bottles! Victoria Meyerink makes the first of several appearances in the recurring role of Lori Baker. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The F.B.I. begins its fifth season as Federal Inspector Lew Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) persuades former counterespionage agent Anne Fraser (Diane Baker) to come out of retirement for one last assignment. Posing as lovers, Erkine and Anne hope to round up a spy ring specializing in blackmailing vulnerable diplomats--a task made difficult by the fact that the villains are protected by diplomatic immunity. In the original TV Guide ads for this episode, the producers shamelessly plugged their series' longtime sponsor by listing "The 1970 Fords" as "guest stars"! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A small town is terrorized by a grizzly bear in this uninspired western. Jim Cole $Clint Walker must defend his inherited property from the designs of his greedy, land-grabbing neighbor Jed Curry (Keenan Wynn). ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
