Emergency Contact was given a box set of DVDs recently. I think the show’s got a good chance of being a big success when the networks air it on the telly.
The actors are very nice and the script is snappy. It doesn’t require so much attention that you can’t relax and enjoy it, but it still provides some take-away lines for the next day at work. The look is fresh and new in a quaintly under-funded 90s way, and I don’t think I’m endangering my credibility when I say that Buffy The Vampire Slayer could be a hit. Watch this space.
However, no positive review can exist without some avuncular advice. Vampires are supposed to be sexy and smart and sleek. So, if there must be special-effects dentures for the fangs, they should be supplied for both the upper and lower jaw. Giving vampires only the top set of choppers just gives bad-guys a crook look. Evil lairs end up looking like badly lit roadside-diners when there are a bunch of chinless guys with chronic overbites, groaning and leering around a spunky, blonde stranger.
