Subject: poor acting
stories were poorly acted out and always showed ignorance of males around fake women could not watch more than a few episodes. obvious oversight by the characters according to script was unbelievable. people that get obvious signs of wrong act upon it not play into it. one of hollywoods fillers before the main theatre showing

Not just for the kiddies. The TV "Terry" was sexy and cynical and clever. Great cast, clever writing, interesting stories. I'd love to see the two missing episodes.
