I can name this story-line in ten words. No, six words. No, I can describe the gist of the whole video in two words--zany parody--and that’s more description than is really necessary. It doesn’t matter which shows are satirized here, though here are some hints (The X Wives, Unresolved Mysteries and Invasion of the Balloon People), the soap opera style lampoon was too long by about 45 minutes and would have made a mediocre skit at best. I wanted to like these Saturday Night Live wannabes and I was hoping for some wink-wink pokety-poke fun, but I felt like I’d been abducted by a gaggle of yahoos who had MUCH more fun making this video than anyone will ever have watching it. Not recommended. (N. Plympton)
